Chapter 1: She Became a Stranger…

Sarah stepped out of the hospital, her small bag hanging from her shoulder, her hands trembling as if they were too weak to hold anything. The evening air pressed hot and heavy against her skin.She paused by the gate, her eyes sweeping through the crowd as she searched for a familiar face.But she couldn’t find any. Not James, not even her son – Daniel.Not a single call buzzed her phone, not even a short text message: “Mummy, are you okay?” from Daniel. Her thumb hovered over James’s name in her contacts, but the courage to press dial deserted her.She stopped a cab as it pulled up. She forced herself inside, sinking into the back seat.“Madam, you alright?” the driver asked in polite curiosity, watching her pale reflection in the rearview mirror.Sarah nodded quickly, pressing her gaze to the window. She let the noise of vendors and honking cars blur past.But inside the car, silence pressed harder, reminding her how alone she was. She quietly gave the driver her address and drove

Chapter 2: The Past Came Knocking

Tiana’s hand remained looped through James’s arm as though she belonged there. She tilted her head, her wide eyes feigning surprise when they fell on Sarah.“Oh, Sarah,” her voice rang with false humility, soft enough to fool anyone who didn’t know better. “You’re back already? I didn’t know you’d return today. If I had known, I wouldn’t have stayed here. Forgive me, I’ll just go now.”Her shoulders curved as though in shame, her lips pursed like a woman eager to disappear.But Sarah knew the act. Her silence was deliberate; her eyes were sharp on Tiana, refusing to reward the performance.But yet again, another familiar little voice cut through her thought.“Don’t go!” Daniel’s cry split the room. His small hands clutched Tiana’s waist with desperate force. “Don’t go, Auntie Tiana! You’re always here with me, every day. Why must you leave because she came back? I don’t want you to leave. She should be the one to go!” Daniel cried, pointing accusingly at her mother.Sarah’s breath hit

Chapter 3: Buried Truths

The night carried a silence that felt heavier than stone. Sarah lay on her back, her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling she could barely see.Sleep refused her.Every breath she drew was shallow, strained, as though her body no longer belonged to her.The message she had seen earlier replayed in her mind like a haunting refrain.Each word was a blade carving deeper into her chest.James sat at the edge of the bed, his shoulders hunched forward, the tie at his neck hanging loose as if it had been tugged off in frustration. His back curved like a man bent under a weight he refused to name.Sarah turned her head toward him. His outline in the dim light looked unfamiliar, like a stranger she had once loved but no longer knew.Her lips trembled before she forced his name out. “James.”He turned slightly, brows raised, his eyes already carrying the heaviness of someone bracing for a quarrel. “What is it, Sarah?”Her throat tightened, but she refused to swallow the question any longer.“

Chapter 4: I'm Pregnant for James

The café carried the warm smell of coffee and baked sugar, but Sarah barely noticed. She sat by the window, her palms flat against the wooden table, her body stiff as though the wood itself was keeping her upright.Across the room, the bell above the door chimed. Tiana walked in with the calm grace of a woman who never doubted her place.Her heels clicked softly with measured steps against the tiled floor.Without hesitation, she crossed to Sarah’s table and sat opposite her.Sarah’s gaze followed her every move. There was no greeting, no smile, just silence heavy enough to make the air thick.Steam curled from the cup Tiana ordered, fading quickly between them. Her fingers tapped the handle once before she lifted her eyes.“Why did you send those messages?” Sarah asked, her voice steady, but her hand trembled slightly where it pressed against the table. “Why did you make sure I would see them?”Tiana’s lips curved faintly, her eyes glinting with mock surprise. “How was I supposed to

Chapter 5: One Life, One Choice

The next moment Sarah opened her eyes, she was in an unknown warehouse. The smell of oil and rust filled the air.A single shaft of light fell from a broken window, cutting across the dusty floor.Sarah stirred, her eyes heavy, only to find her mouth sealed with rough tape and her hands tied behind her.The ropes dug into her skin until her fingers throbbed.Panic rushed through her chest like fire.Footsteps echoed, quick then slowly, until the sound of someone she knew sent her heart into a frenzy.The sight of James came to light.Her eyes widened, pleading, screaming through silence.When he appeared at the entrance, his face changed instantly. The fury and control he often carried dissolved into raw fear.His eyes fixed on her; on the ropes, the tape, and the bruises forming at her wrists. His jaw clenched as if each detail was cutting him from the inside.“Sarah…” His whisper cracked the air. He stepped forward, only to stop when the sharp click of a gun halted him.The leader o
