All Chapters of Beneath the billionaire shadows : Chapter 91 - Chapter 97

Three weeks later, the doctors finally decided Lena was strong enough to leave the hospital. Her wounds had healed, her body stable but her mind was still fragile, trapped somewhere Kai couldn’t reach. The morning of her discharge should have been a moment of celebration. Instead, it carried the weight of sorrow. Kai stood by the door of her ward, his broad shoulders tense, his heart pounding with every rustle of movement inside. He expected her to look at him, to allow him to help her , to perhaps offer even the faintest smile. But Lena’s eyes never searched for him. She sat quietly on the bed, a cardigan draped over her thin shoulders, her hair falling softly against her pale face. Her gaze drifted around the room like she was studying a place she’d never been before. Among everyone she only allowed and accept Sydney to be near her Sydney spoke softly, adjusting Lena’s cardigan, helping her to her feet as though she were porcelain that might shatter. Lena allowed it without pro

After the panic attack triggered by the balloon pop, Lena had withdrawn again. She barely spoke, barely left her room . The fear in her eyes lingered like a shadow that refused to lift. But Ezra… Ezra never gave up. He began lying beside her on the bed during the afternoons, his tiny hand resting near hers, whispering stories about his toys, about daddy making breakfast, or how he saw a butterfly in the garden.He didn't expect answers. He just talked, as if her silence was part of their language. Lena never said much.Sometimes, she’d glance at him. Sometimes she didn’t even blink. She just stared out the window, at the ceiling, through the walls. But Ezra didn’t mind. He stayed close, his presence gentle and patient, just like his father had taught him. That morning, he crawled up onto the bed beside her again,resting his tiny head on her shoulder.His face leaned close to hers, eyes wide and curious as always. He reached up and placed a soft kiss on her cheek, then another on

Lena PovThe first thing I remember was the beeping.Then voices. Faint and echoing.I woke up to the muffled sounds of voicessoft, urgent, and unfamiliar. “She’s awake,” someone whispered.My eyes fluttered open slowly, heavy like they hadn’t been used in days. The ceiling above me was stark white, too clean, too bright. My throat felt dry, and there was a dull, throbbing pain shooting down my shoulder.I blinked against the sharp white light, my vision blurry, everything unfocused. It was as if I were rising from underwater, every sound muffled, every breath thick and unfamiliar. My body felt heavy. My shoulder ached a deep, throbbing pain that pulsed with every heartbeat. I tried to move, but my arm was restrained by a sling, the tug of it foreign and jarring.Where was I?I turned my head slowly, wincing at the pain in my neck. The smell of antiseptic filled the room. Machines beeped steadily beside me. Wires trailed from my arm.I was in a hospital.Panic simmered beneath my skin.

The morning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting gentle golden hues across the room. Lena’s eyes fluttered open, the familiar warmth of the sun touching her skin like a quiet promise. For the first time in what felt like ages, she felt something stirring within a faint but real sense of peace. She sat up slowly, her body still tender but her mind clearer than it had been in weeks. The memories, hazy at first, began to gather like scattered pieces of a puzzle. Her breath caught as she remembered her children, her husband, the life she had almost forgotten. Drawing strength from that new spark inside her, Lena rose and walked carefully toward the staircase. Each step felt more purposeful than the last. She moved to the dining room, where the morning calm was alive with soft soundsthe clink of dishes, the rustle of papers, and the gentle laughter of a child. “Kai… Ezra,” she called, her voice trembling but steady. Kai looked up from the table, surprise flickering in hi
