Vera POV I smirked in satisfaction. Unzipping my suitcase, I began pulling out my clothes and personal belongings. My eyes wandered around Ethan’s spotless white room. He never liked anyone staying here. But that would change now. He would learn to like me. And this time, it wouldn’t be his choice. I walked toward his wardrobe and opened it. Carefully, I arranged my clothes beside his. Then I neatly folded some of his outfits too until the wardrobe looked shared. Like a real couple’s wardrobe. Ours. A pleased smile spread across my lips. Perfect. I stepped out of the room and looked around. Where the hell was Maya? She's the one that should be leaving us. I checked the sitting room, but she wasn’t there. Then I walked back up the stairs toward her room. It was locked. Did she leave already? Good. She shouldn’t come back here again. Everything in this house belonged to me now. Including Ethan. My smile faded slightly as I grabbed my phone again. I had been cal

Vera POV“Who are you?”That was the first question that left my mouth as I stared at the clown with a suitcase who had just walked in. Her sunglasses rested on her forehead while she chewed gum like she owned the place.She glanced at me, then at Maya, before returning her gaze to me.She dragged her suitcase closer, then stopped right in front of us.“I think I should be the one asking that question,” she said.I scoffed.“Are you stupid? You can’t just barge in here with a suitcase without introducing yourself,” I barked.She hissed.“Maya, who is she?” she asked.Maya rolled her eyes and attempted walking upstairs before suddenly stopping.“I really don’t know what both of you are doing here. Clearly, I’m the only legal wife Ethan married, and it would be advisable for you both to leave before he returns.”With that, she walked upstairs.The lady scoffed and blew a bubble with her gum.“Get out. Your presence is irritating,” I spat, already disgusted by the way she chewed.“Bitch,

James pov She won’t believe me. And I’m only trying to help her. There’s no way she can do this on her own. I sighed heavily, my back resting against the seat in my bar room. How can I help her? I need something very plausible. Something she will believe without having a second doubt. But what? Mere words can’t work. Ethan is a killer. He killed Audrey and Clara. Well mostly Clara. Audrey’s body was never found. Only Lena got to live. He’s a murderer that got away with every little thing he does just because he has Mr Wellington backing him up. They always cover up his traces. I drank the wine in my hand, dropped the glass on the tray and stood up. This won’t be so hard. I brought out my phone and scrolled through my contact list. I dialed her number. She picked up immediately. “I think it’s time,” I said. There was a short pause. “Okay sir.” I ended the call. I’m doing this for your own good Maya. I really like you and don’t want you to end up like them. I

Maya POV What is she doing here? My thoughts were spiraling. She was staring at me, wearing that disgusting smirk I wanted nothing more than to slap away. She looked so healthy. Unlike before. Her clothes looked richer than I could remember. She took a step closer. “Why are you running, Maya?” she asked cockily. “I-I, uhm...” I swallowed hard. She chuckled. “Are you that shocked to see me?” I tightened my jaw, not saying a word. “I’m still alive, very alive. I don’t suppose you thought I was dead?” she asked. I exhaled slowly. “I wasn’t shocked o-or running. I was looking for... uhm, a friend. Yes, a friend. She stays in this house,” I said, turning towards the old house. I sounded so stupid. But anything to get out of here. She paused, then started laughing. “You’re still terrible at lying.” She took another step closer. Now she was inches away from me. “Oh Maya, I have been searching for you. I want my kids back,” she blurted. My expression changed instantly.

Ethan POVMy eyes slowly peeled open.My eyelids felt extremely weak, like even blinking was too much work.I blinked once, then again.My eyes slowly scanned the room and I realized I was still in the hospital.The room was slightly dim.I need to get out of here.Lying down here is draining me.I tried to move my hands, but it felt like I was carrying a hundred people at once. My arms wouldn’t respond properly.My entire body felt numb.What did they give me?My thoughts were scattered as different things flooded my mind.But one thought stood out clearly. One name stuck like glue in my head.Maya.Then that kiss at Grandma’s house flashed through my mind.It was just one moment… but it felt like it lasted forever.I didn’t think much about it then, but why is it suddenly clouding my head now?Is it because I’m in the hospital with nothing else to think about?No.I need to stop this.She’s the same.Hired by Mr Wellington for money.Always about money.I hissed softly and turned my
