Chapter 71

Chapter 71 I couldn’t stay at the hospital. After Blessing told me Ethan was getting married today, I felt like the floor had disappeared beneath my feet. My chest was tight, my hands were shaking, and I couldn’t think straight. I made up some excuse about not feeling well and left without even changing out of my uniform properly. I just grabbed my bag and walked out. The moment I stepped outside, I stood on the pavement for a long minute, trying to breathe. My mind kept repeating the same words over and over. Ethan is getting married today. To Sophia. It didn’t make sense. Not after everything we had been through. Not after he rescued me, held me while I cried, and promised he would always protect me. How could he be marrying someone else without even telling me? I pulled out my phone with trembling fingers and tried calling him again. It rang twice before going straight to voicemail. I tried one more time. Same thing. I stared at the screen until my vision blurred. I needed

Chapter 72

Chapter 72Ethan pov I stood at the altar, staring at Sophia’s face, but I wasn’t really seeing her. The words were coming out of my mouth on autopilot. The officiant had just asked the final question, and I heard myself say it before I could stop the sound from leaving my throat. “I do.” The moment the words left my lips, my eyes moved on their own. I looked past Sophia, past the rows of guests, and found her. Lila. She was standing at the back of the ballroom, half-hidden behind a pillar. She looked lost. Confused. Like the ground had been pulled from under her feet. Our eyes met, and for one second, everything else disappeared. I saw the pain in her eyes. I saw the betrayal. I saw the exact moment her heart broke because of me. I wanted to run to her. I wanted to push everyone aside, grab her hand, and tell her that none of this was real. That I didn’t want this. That I was dying inside. But I couldn’t. I forced myself to look away. I turned back to Sophia and said the wo

Chapter 73

Chapter 73 I didn’t sleep much. I spent most of the night lying in bed, staring at the ceiling while tears kept slipping down the sides of my face. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ethan standing at the altar, looking at me for that one painful second before he turned away and said “I do” to Sophia. By morning, the pain had settled into something heavier — something that sat in my chest like a stone. I couldn’t just sit here and cry anymore. I needed answers. I needed to look him in the eye and ask him why. I picked up my phone and tried calling him again. It rang four times before going to voicemail. I tried texting instead. Lila: We need to talk. Please. No reply. I waited ten minutes, then sent another one. Lila: Ethan, I saw you yesterday. I was at the wedding. I need to know what’s going on. Still nothing. That was when I decided I wasn’t going to wait anymore. I got dressed quickly, threw on a simple dress and slippers, and took a taxi straight to Ethan’s house. My

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 I told myself I could do this. After crying in Jasmine’s car yesterday and then breaking down again at home, I woke up this morning and decided I wasn’t going to let Ethan or Sophia take away the one thing I still had control over — my work. I needed the money for my brother’s law school fees, and I wasn’t going to hide at home forever. So I put on my uniform, fixed my hair, and went to the hospital like everything was normal. It wasn’t. The moment I stepped onto the ward, I could feel the shift in the atmosphere. Some of the nurses gave me sympathetic looks. Others avoided eye contact completely. I already knew why. News travelled fast in this hospital, and everyone had probably heard about Ethan’s wedding by now. I kept my head down and focused on my tasks. I checked on patients, updated charts, and tried to act like my heart wasn’t shattered into pieces. But then Sophia walked in. She entered the nurses’ station like she owned the place, her white coat perfectly

Chapter 75

Chapter 75 I sat on the couch with my legs tucked under me, staring at the half-empty cup of tea in my hands. Jasmine had gone to work, so the apartment felt too quiet. My eyes were still swollen from crying yesterday at the hospital, and I hadn’t been able to eat anything since morning. I didn’t expect to hear a knock on the door. When I opened it, Damien stood there with a small plastic bag in his hand. He looked a little awkward, like he wasn’t sure if he should have come. “Hey,” he said quietly. “Jasmine called me. She said you might need someone to talk to.” I stepped aside and let him in. He placed the bag on the table — it had food inside, probably from the restaurant near the hospital. “Thanks,” I muttered as I sat back down. Damien took the seat across from me. For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. He just looked at me with that calm, steady expression he always had. “I heard about the wedding,” he finally said. “I’m sorry, Lila.” I let out a shaky breath and nodde

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Damien showed up at my house without warning. I opened the door and found him standing there with a serious look on his face. I already knew why he was here before he even opened his mouth. “Can we talk?” he asked. I stepped aside and let him in. The moment he walked into the living room, the atmosphere became heavy. He didn’t waste time. “I spoke to Lila today,” Damien said, standing in the middle of the room. “She told me everything. About the wedding. About how you’ve been treating her. About you telling her to move on.” He looked at me with a mix of anger and disappointment. “What the hell is going on with you, Ethan?” I stayed quiet and walked over to the couch, sitting down slowly. Damien didn’t sit. He just kept staring at me. “You married Sophia,” he continued. “You stood in front of everyone and married her like it was nothing. And now you’re pushing Lila away like she doesn’t matter. Do you even care how much you’re hurting her?” I ran a hand over my fac

Chapter 77

Chapter 77 The bar was loud, but Lila barely noticed the noise. She sat alone at the counter, nursing her third glass of whiskey. Her eyes were glassy, and her movements were already slightly unsteady. She had come here straight after work, still wearing her simple blouse and trousers, not even bothering to change. She just needed to forget — even if it was only for a few hours. A man in a dark shirt slid onto the stool beside her. He was smiling too widely, clearly having had a few drinks himself. “Hey beautiful,” he said, leaning in. “You look like you could use some company.” Lila didn’t even look at him properly. She just took another sip of her drink and muttered, “Not interested.” The man didn’t take the hint. He moved closer, resting his arm on the counter. “Come on, don’t be like that. A pretty girl like you shouldn’t be drinking alone. Let me buy you another one.” Before Lila could respond, another man approached from her other side. This one was bolder. He placed his h

Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Damien stood outside the tall glass doors of his father’s private office building, hesitating for a long moment. The evening sky was darkening, and the city lights were beginning to flicker on around him. He had come here with one clear purpose: to speak up for Lila. She didn’t deserve what was happening to her. The pain in her voice when she had opened up to him earlier that day had stayed with him, heavy and impossible to ignore. He took a deep breath and pushed open the doors. The security guard at the entrance recognized him immediately and let him through without question. Damien rode the elevator up to the top floor in silence, his mind racing with what he was going to say. When he reached Richard’s office, he knocked once and stepped inside without waiting for an invitation. Richard was sitting behind his large mahogany desk, reviewing some documents under the soft glow of a lamp. He looked up when Damien entered, his expression calm and unreadable as always. “D

Chapter 79

Chapter 79 “Something Doesn’t Add Up” (Lila POV) I told myself I could do this. After everything that had happened — the wedding, the cold confrontation with Ethan, the tears in the bathroom — I still showed up to work the next day. I put on my uniform, fixed my hair, and walked through the hospital doors with my head held high. I smiled at the patients. I answered questions. I did my job like nothing was wrong. But inside, I was falling apart. Every corner of the hospital reminded me of Ethan. The corridor where we used to steal quick kisses. The break room where he would bring me coffee. The stairwell where we once hid just to talk for five minutes. It all hurt. But I kept moving. I had to. And then there was Sophia. She was everywhere. As a doctor now — one of the newer attending physicians in the cardiology department — she moved through the ward like she owned it. She had always been flashy, but since the wedding, it had gotten worse. She walked around with her white coat

Chapter 80

Chapter 80 “The Silent Watcher” (Ethan POV) I sat in my car across the street from Lila’s building, the engine off, the windows cracked just enough to let in the cool night air. It was past midnight. The street was quiet, but my mind was anything but. I had been here for almost an hour. My eyes stayed fixed on the light in her apartment window. It flickered once, then stayed steady. She was probably still awake. Probably still hurting. The thought made my chest feel tight, but I didn’t move. I couldn’t. I glanced down at my phone. The small tracking app I had installed on her phone weeks ago was still running silently in the background. I had done it the day after she was kidnapped. Not to control her. Not to spy. But because I knew Richard wouldn’t stop. He had already proven he could reach her. I needed to know where she was. I needed to know she was safe. Even if it meant I had to stay away. I leaned my head back against the seat and closed my eyes for a second. The memory of
