Aurelia POV Aurelia, you’re making great progress. Dr. Lena signed the words slowly, carefully, making sure I caught every movement of her hands. I’ve replayed them in my mind ever since. In a good way. Actually. I’ve been deaf for five years now. Since the accident. And maybe it’s strange to say, maybe it makes me sound ungrateful or broken or both, but sometimes I think it was a blessing in disguise. Because I have the life I always dreamed of now. And maybe that means the accident wasn’t so bad after all. My driver, Steven, pulls into the mansion driveway with ease as the evening sun begins to dip. Before I get down, I text Seth. When are you coming home? I’ll be making dinner tonight. Your favourite. I add a love emoji, a small smile creeping onto my face. Today wasn’t anything special. Or maybe it was. I was finally making progress with my hearing. Dr. Lena said I could start using advanced hearing aids. I’m happy because maybe now it won’t feel so bad anymore. Maybe S

Aurelia POV Regina Vance.That name alone is enough to tighten something painful in my chest. She is the one woman I know never truly left Seth’s mind. His first love.She left after my accident, talking about chasing her acting dreams, about needing more, about not being ready to settle. She disappeared so completely that, over time, I allowed myself to believe she was gone for good.Now, even though my heart refuses to accept it, my mind won’t stop whispering her name. Because why else would Seth cut the call like that? He was never like that with me. Never distant. Never abrupt.No. No, no, no.Everything would be ruined. My marriage to Seth. Our relationship. The fragile balance we built together. I can’t lose him. I don’t want to lose him.I sit at the dinner table and try to video call him again. The screen lights up. Rings. Then goes unanswered.I take a deep breath, forcing my shoulders to relax. It’s fine. There’s nothing wrong. Seth is married to me. He wouldn’t go against

Aurelia POV My heart skips.Something important?The way he looked didn’t feel like good news. Not even close. His shoulders were too stiff, his eyes too careful, like someone handling glass they already know is cracked.“I’m listening,” I signed back, my fingers trembling despite my effort to keep them steady.He hesitated. Just a little. But I saw it. The warmth that had wrapped me minutes ago was gone, replaced with a quiet caution, the kind that means someone is about to hurt you and knows it.I prayed it wasn’t what my mind kept screaming at my heart. I refused to believe he would ever do that. Not him. Not us.The paranoia I had shoved away crept back into my chest, sharp and insistent. My body shook lightly, nerves buzzing beneath my skin.He wouldn’t. We had come too far. Too much history, too many promises, too much healing to let the past tear through what we had built so carefully.Seth sighed, deep and heavy, then stood up. He reached for a file on the shelf nearby.My he

Aurelia POV I couldn’t help it. The tear fell anyway, slipping past every wall I tried to build inside myself. No matter how hard I fought it, my body betrayed me. Seth saw it. And suddenly he panicked, like he hadn’t just shattered me seconds ago. Like he hadn’t just reduced everything we were into paperwork and careful words. He grabbed a clean napkin quickly, almost frantically, and dabbed at my cheek. I turned my face away in defiance. Anger surged through me, hot and unfamiliar. Angry that he could reduce my patience, my sacrifice, my quiet endurance, to nothing. Angry that he would throw it all away for one woman he knew didn’t give a damn. I knew it in my bones. Regina was back for a reason. And it wasn’t a good one. Seth slowly set the napkin aside. If you’re not ready to sign it now, it’s okay. We can sort it out when you’re ready, he signed. I stared ahead, my chest tight. Was what we shared really this disposable? But please don’t tell mom and dad. Especially gr

Zane POV“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. The local time is 6:40 PM. We’d like to…”I stood up before the voice could finish.I wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries, gratitude, or warm welcomes. None of that applied to me anyway. What was welcoming about returning to a place that never wanted you in the first place?Nothing.I pulled my suitcase down from the overhead compartment, ignoring the polite smiles and slow-moving passengers around me. I didn’t belong in this herd. I never had.The moment my feet touched the terminal floor, a familiar tension settled into my shoulders. New York smelled the same. Sounded the same. Loud. Impatient. Pretending to be alive while chewing people up.I moved past security with long, steady strides, my jaw set, eyes forward.I spotted my assistant immediately. He was practically jogging toward me, suit crisp, tablet clutched to his chest like a shield.“Sir,” he said, reaching for my luggage. “Are we
