Callum's POV:I stared at Isla in complete shock.Her voice was real.It was soft and melodic despite the slight hoarseness from years of keeping it hidden. She'd been able to speak this entire time and never said a single word to me.Questions flooded my mind. Why had she hidden it?What else had she been keeping secret? But I forced myself to stay quiet and just listen because clearly she had more to say.Isla took a breath and continued, her voice gaining strength as she spoke.“The voice returned the day I woke up in the hospital after the fall,” she said. “The same day everything changed. I kept it secret because silence gave me advantages. People underestimate you when you can't speak. They say things around you they wouldn't say otherwise. They treat you like you're less capable than you are.”She paused, her hands twisting together nervously.“But that's not the full truth,” she continued. “And I need to tell you everything because you deserve to know who I really am and why I

Isla's POV:I woke up Monday morning feeling lighter.My eyes were swollen from crying and my throat was raw from talking for hours, but something fundamental had shifted.Telling Callum the truth had lifted a weight I didn't realize was crushing me. He believed me, he held me while I broke down and didn't treat me like I was broken or insane.I found him in the kitchen already awake, making coffee in the quiet early morning. He looked up when I walked in and our eyes met.Everything between us felt different now. He knew all my secrets. The death, the time travel, the pregnancy loss, the real reason behind everything I'd done since waking up in this timeline.“Morning,” he said quietly.“Morning,” I said back, still getting used to using my voice with him.He poured a second cup of coffee and slid it across the counter to me. We sat at the island together in silence for a moment, both of us processing everything that had been said yesterday.“I have questions,” Callum said finally.“

Isla's POV:Rosie had fallen asleep early after an exhausting day at the park with Maria.I was in my room going over notes for the press conference when Callum knocked softly on my open door."Can we talk?" he asked.Something in his expression made my heart skip. I nodded and followed him to the living room.We settled on the couch with space between us, the city lights glittering beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. The atmosphere felt charged somehow, like we were both aware something was about to shift but neither of us knew exactly what.Callum spoke first."The contract doesn't reflect what this relationship has become," he said, his voice quiet but steady. "The boundaries we established, the terms we agreed to, none of it makes sense anymore given how much has changed between us."My pulse quickened."I need to know if you feel it too," he continued, looking at me directly. "Or if I'm alone in this."I took a breath, my hands twisting together nervously in my lap."You're not

Isla's POV:I'd spent Tuesday afternoon with Patricia finalizing details for tomorrow's press conference.We'd gone over the evidence one more time, organized the documents in order of impact, rehearsed answers to likely questions. Patricia had been thorough and supportive, telling me how proud my mother would have been to see me standing up for myself.I felt good walking back to Callum's building.Then I saw Declan waiting in the lobby.The doorman approached me before I could react. "Miss Brennan, this gentleman has been waiting for several hours. We stopped him from going up to the penthouse but we can't remove him from the public lobby area. Would you like us to call the police?"Declan stood near the elevators in an expensive suit, looking polished and put together. When he saw me, he smiled. That charming smile he'd used when we first started dating, the one that had made me think maybe he actually cared."Isla," he said, walking toward me. "Thank you for seeing me."I hadn't a

Callum's POV:The press conference dominated every news cycle.By evening, Isla's story was everywhere. Every major outlet running the recordings, the financial evidence, the photos of Declan and Sienna. Her revelation that she'd had her voice back for months combined with the devastating evidence against her family had created a perfect media storm.Public opinion swung decisively in her favor. Social media exploded with support, people praising her courage and strength. Disability advocates celebrated her reclaiming her voice on her own terms. Survivors of abuse saw themselves in her story.Her family wasn't so lucky.Arthur had been arrested on additional fraud charges before he'd even left the hotel. Federal agents had been waiting outside the conference room with warrants. The look on his face when they'd approached had been captured by dozens of cameras.Margot had fled to her sister's house in Connecticut, but reporters had already tracked her down. She couldn't leave the prope
