Chapter 50 ~ Check her

Silas had long since returned and kept pacing the living room like a madman as the doctors sat uncomfortably, staring at each other, not knowing why he had called them over. At this point, each one wished to have been picked to treat Joyce instead of having to deal with Silas’s hot temper, but alas, not all of them could. He only picked two from the ten and had the eight sit as he paced, staring at his watch every second. The door finally opened, making him halt his movements, and all heads turned to face the door where Dahlia entered with Edward behind.“Why the hell has it taken you so long to reach home?” he demanded.Dahlia simply ignored him and tried to walk past, but Silas, who was already furious, grabbed her wrist.“I'm talking to you!”The moment he touched her, Dahlia hissed in pain, but he only scoffed at that, thinking she was simply pretending so he wouldn’t question her,“There you go pretending to be in pain whenever I ask you where you’ve been!” He accused, his eyes f

Chapter 51 ~ Do you love her?

Dahlia simply nodded and pulled out her phone to check on the instructions from Thomas about the competition to restore her name.“Dahlia? Did you hear me?” Silas asked.“Yes, and I said okay,” Dahlia responded, making him pause from where he stood.That was it?No argument, no pleas, and no tears? And what was with the tone? Silas hated how she carried herself lately. It was almost as if she didn’t care that he existed.“You'll wait for me?” he asked, not knowing why, for some reason, he wanted a reassurance, and it wasn’t the kind of waiting they were all thinking about. It almost sounded as if he meant it in a different way.Dahlia almost laughed at that question, finding it ridiculous.Wait for him?Hadn't she been doing exactly that for the last three years?Waiting for him to come home.Waiting for him to notice her.Waiting for him to love her.Waiting for him to choose her.She had waited so long that she had forgotten what life looked like without him.But not anymore. She was

Chapter 52 ~ Choking her to death

Silas frowned the moment he stepped into the room. His eyes went straight to Dahlia, who jumped the moment she heard the door close. Her heart was pounding so loudly she was afraid Silas would hear her. The report she had just seen was still a shock, and she couldn’t even react because then Silas would figure it out, and the rest of her plan would go in vain. She slowly leaned down to pick the phone from the floor and then took shaky steps towards the edge of the bed. “Did something happen?” Silas asked immediately.Dahlia looked up, startled, once again not realizing she had zoned out. She quickly picked up her phone like her life depended on it and clutched it tightly against her fast-beating heart.“Nothing happened."“Nothing happened?” he repeated. “You look like you've seen a ghost.”“I said it's nothing.”Silas dragged his eyes to where she was tightly holding her phone and took another step forward.“Show me your phone.”Dahlia's heart nearly stopped at that request. The docu

Chapter 53 ~ You're not alone

The loud sound of the alarm jolted Dahlia awake. She turned and groaned from the pain of a headache she was feeling. She had barely slept after midnight because of insomnia, which came at a wrong time when all she wanted to do was to rest a little, especially with the day that lay ahead of her, but her eyes couldn’t just close; to make it worse, she was feeling very emotional whenever she thought of Mrs Whitmore and how painful it must have been dying. Regret kept growing inside her chest until it suffocated her. She spent the whole night crying and wondering who would be cruel enough to poison her while she was carrying a child. She kept thinking it could have been Joyce, but something told her she had more enemies than she could imagine. With a heavy sigh, she stood from the bed, feeling like she had been hit by a damn train.The day of the competition had arrived, and she couldn’t miss this opportunity for the world. She had no idea how bad the poison in her system was, but it wor

Chapter 54 ~ Drugged

Dahlia had barely started the engine when a knock sounded against her window. She rolled it down and groaned when she saw who it was. Edward.Of course, it was Edward.The old butler stood outside with his arms folded and an expression that already told her he was about to become a problem.With a sigh, she rubbed the sweat off her forehead, suddenly feeling so hot. "Don't." She warned."Don't what?" Edward asked."Whatever speech you're about to give me. I don’t want to hear it, Edward.”"You can't drive, madam. Let me drive you, then take you to the hospital immediately after you finish the painting.”Dahlia rolled her eyes like she needed any more reminders of what she was going through. Dahlia leaned her head back against the seat, putting the gear into drive, and then looked at an angry-looking Edward,"Edward, I appreciate your concern, but I'm already late.""Madam, please.." The old man pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "If you refuse to listen, I'll call the y
