NyelleVincent's smile disappeared so quickly it was almost frightening. The joy that had been shining in his eyes only seconds ago shattered into confusion as he stared at me, his lips slightly parted. He looked as though he hadn't heard me correctly, as though his mind refused to accept the words I had just signed."What... what do you mean by that?" he asked, his voice unsteady.He instinctively reached for my arm, but I pulled away before his fingers could touch me. My hand remained protectively over my stomach while I met his gaze without flinching. No matter how much my heart ached, I couldn't let him see it.I slowly raised my hands again."It means exactly what you think it means."The color drained from his face.For the first time in years, I watched Vincent Hale completely lose his composure. His eyes searched mine desperately, as though begging me to take it back and tell him it was a cruel joke. A part of me almost smiled. So this was how heartbreak felt from the other si

NyelleVincent's punch snapped Nico's head sharply to the side, the impact echoing through the quiet hospital corridor. A streak of blood appeared at the corner of Nico's lip, but before I could even react, he wiped it away with the back of his hand and charged at Vincent without a second thought. His fist slammed into Vincent's jaw, forcing Vincent to stagger backward a step, but Vincent recovered almost instantly. The next punch came harder. It landed squarely across Nico's face, sending him stumbling before he crashed onto the polished floor. Vincent was breathing heavily now, every ounce of restraint gone as he stormed over, grabbed Nico by the collar, and yanked him back up, their faces only inches apart."I don't ever want to see you anywhere near her again!" Vincent roared, his eyes burning with rage. His grip tightened around Nico's shirt until the fabric wrinkled in his fist. "Stay away from my wife! Do you hear me?"My heart pounded violently."What is wrong with you?" I hur

VincentI stood there, completely frozen, watching Nyelle walk away with Nico. She never looked back. Not even once. My jaw tightened until it hurt, my hands curling into fists at my sides as I watched him open the passenger door for her. She got into the car without hesitation, and something inside me twisted painfully. Every instinct screamed at me to run after her, to stop her, to drag her back before she disappeared from my sight again.I had barely taken a step when someone grabbed my arm."Please..." Mrs. Vale sobbed, clutching my sleeve with trembling fingers. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her entire body shook uncontrollably. "Please help me. I need her forgiveness. I know I don't deserve it, but... please, do something. Convince her to listen to me."I slowly lowered my eyes to her hand before gently removing it from my arm."That isn't my decision to make," I said quietly, exhaustion weighing heavily on every word. "It's hers."Without waiting for another plea, I tu

Vincent "What?" Nico snapped, staring at me like I'd completely lost my mind. "And you seriously think I'd let you stay in my house? Who exactly told you you're welcome here?" I didn't even spare him a glance. "I don't give a damn whether you welcome me or not," I replied coldly, my eyes fixed on Nyelle. "If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't even waste my breath talking to you." Nico let out a sarcastic laugh and rubbed his forehead. "I think it's time to call the cops." The moment he reached for his phone, I straightened immediately. "Come on, are you serious?" I frowned. "You're really going to call the police?" He looked me dead in the eye. "You think I'm bluffing?" he asked calmly. "You broke into my house, assaulted me, and now you're refusing to leave. I'll give you one minute to walk out that door. If you're still standing here after that, I'm calling the police." One minute? After what I'd just witnessed? After seeing him standing behind Nyelle with his hand

VincentMy father's words echoed through the conference room, leaving me frozen in place.This was the same man who had spent years making me feel like I would never be enough. I had always known I was his biological son, yet every decision he made told a different story. After my mother died, I had been drowning in grief, barely speaking, barely eating. Then one day he brought Leon home, smiling as he told me, "He'll keep you company. You won't be lonely anymore."Back then, I had actually been happy. I thought I'd finally found a brother. Instead, I had welcomed the devil into my life.Leon turned my childhood into a nightmare, and every single time I tried to tell my father what he was doing, he refused to believe me. He dismissed my tears, ignored my bruises, and called me jealous. The anxiety that haunted me for years... it all began because no matter how loudly I cried for help, the one person who should have protected me looked the other way.Then came the day that changed ever
