Chapter One: I'm Pregnant?

**Celine's POV** The clinic lights buzzed overhead like they always did. I laid on the examination bed and stared at the ultrasound screen. My phone vibrated in my bag. I quickly pulled it out. It was from the boutique. “Mrs. Salvatore, your anniversary gown is ready for pickup,” the woman said cheerfully. “It turned out beautiful. Your husband will love it.” I thanked her and hung up. A gown of shame. The same dress I would wear tonight pretending everything was fine, while everyone looked at me, knowing I still hadn’t given Diego a child after three years of marriage. I put the phone away and looked back at the ultrasound screen. The gynecologist’s mouth moved as she spoke. It took a few seconds for her words to really reach me. “Congratulations, Mrs. Salvatore. The baby looks healthy and is developing well. You’re five weeks pregnant.” I blinked. My body jerked slightly on the bed. “What?” I must have heard her wrong. I stared at the flickering image on the screen. That t

Chapter Two: Home Early

**Celine's POV** Diego, was on the bed, but he wasn’t alone. Bianca, my best friend was straddling him completely naked, her dark hair falling over her bare shoulders and brushing against her full breasts. Her hips moved slowly against him in a steady rhythm, grinding down as she rode him. Diego’s hands gripped her waist tightly, fingers digging into her smooth skin, pulling her closer with every thrust. Her head was tilted back, lips parted in pleasure, while his mouth moved hungrily over her neck and chest, sucking and biting at her skin. I could see everything in painful detail. The way her body arched into him, the shine of sweat on their joined skin, the way they moved together like they had done this many times before. The sounds of their breathing and soft moans filled the room. The folder from the clinic slipped from my fingers and fell to the floor with a soft thud. They didn’t notice me at first. I stood frozen in the doorway, unable to look away no matter how much I

Chapter Three: The trunk

**Celine's POV** I could barely think after what happened in the bedroom. My throat was bruised and painful. Every swallow reminded me of Diego’s hand around my neck. He walked into the living room like nothing had changed. “Tonight is our third wedding anniversary party,” he said coldly. “The family is expecting us. Your dress has arrived. Get ready. Smile for the guests. Don’t embarrass the Salvatore name.” I stared at him in disbelief. “After what just happened? You still want a party?” He didn’t even blink. “It’s business. Act like a wife for a few hours. That’s all I ask.” I wanted to scream at him. Instead, I went upstairs and put on the long black dress that hid the marks on my neck. The ballroom was full by the time I made my way through it, a glass of wine in my hand that I hadn't touched. Three years of marriage. Diego had wanted a party, something big enough for the papers to notice, and I'd gone along with it because saying no to him never seemed to lead anywhere go

Chapter Four: Behind the metal door

**Celine's POV** I waited until the house grew completely quiet. After what I saw in the trunk, I couldn’t sit still. His dying words kept repeating in my head. Metal door… east wing. I slipped out of the bedroom. The east wing of the mansion felt different from the rest of the house. The air was colder. The hallways seemed longer and quieter. I had never come this far before. I moved slowly, listening for any sound. Every creak of the floor made me freeze. I thought I heard footsteps behind me once and quickly hid behind a large vase. I waited, barely breathing. Nothing. It was probably just my mind playing tricks on me. I was already terrified enough. Before I left my room, I had gone into our bathroom like Marcus told me. I lifted the toilet tank lid and found a key exactly where he said Diego hid it. I dried it and kept it in my pocket. At the end of a long corridor I found a heavy metal door. It looked completely out of place among the expensive wood and paintings. I rem

Chapter five: The bridge

**Celine's POV** Darkness came first, it wasn't the kind behind closed eyes, the kind that still let in a little light around the edges. It pressed in from every direction at once, thick and total, like it had weight to it. I came back to myself slowly, one piece at a time, the pain got to me first before anything else did. My wrists burned every time I moved, rubbing raw against something tight around them. Every breath I tried to take felt trapped before it reached my lungs. I shifted slightly, and my shoulder hit something hard. Wood, I thought at first. Then I realized it wasn't wood at all. A box. I was inside a box. I could feel the heat of my own breath bouncing straight back into my face. The thought hit me all at once, and the panic came right behind it, faster than I could brace for. I jerked hard against whatever was holding my wrists, some instinct in me refusing to just lie there and accept it. The restraints didn't loosen. If anything, they bit down harder, cu

Chapter six

**Celine's POV** The first thing I heard was a steady, rhythmic beeping. My body felt heavy, like I had been asleep for a very long time. I tried to lift my hand, but even that small movement hurt. I tried to open my eyes, but they wouldn't. I tried again, and this time, they slowly fluttered open. Bright light flooded my vision, making me wince. I blinked several times before the room finally came into focus. An IV stand stood beside my bed while machines glowed softly in the corner, their steady beeping filling the room. *Where am I?* I searched for the familiar wooden ceiling of my bedroom, the one I saw every single morning. This place wasn't my room, it was too dark and cold. Then I heard water pouring softly. A blurry figure stood near the window with her back facing me. I blinked until my vision cleared enough to make out a woman watering a small plant on the windowsill. I parted my lips, but the words died before they could leave my throat. She turned imme

Chapter Seven

**Sam's POV** I read it again. And again. My eyes kept going back to the same words, like maybe I hadn't read them right the first time, like they might change if I just kept staring long enough. They didn't. They sat there on the page exactly the same way each time, black ink spelling out the end of a life I was still, technically, living. My vision started to blur. Small drops kept landing on the paper, smudging the ink under my fingers, but I kept reading anyway, kept forcing my eyes back over the same headline until the letters barely made sense as words anymore. I grabbed the paper and squeezed it until my fingers ached, like if I focused hard enough on that one small pain, I wouldn't have to feel the much larger one sitting in my chest. I threw the paper down. Then I picked it back up again. I don't know why. I really don't. It was like my hand refused to leave it alone, like my body had decided to keep moving without waiting for permission from the rest of me. I
