Years of pain

Olive remained pressed against the wall long after Isabella’s car disappeared from sight. Her fingers were still wrapped tightly around the envelope of money, but she could barely feel it anymore. Isabella had found them — the people Olive had spent years trying to erase from her life, the people she had once believed were dead, the people she had prayed would never find her again. Her chest tightened painfully.When Olive had been seven, she had been taken in by the couple after they convinced the orphanage that they wanted to give a lonely child a home. They had appeared kind in front of the staff. They had smiled at Olive, promised her a family, and acted as though they had rescued her. It hadn’t lasted long. The moment Olive was alone with them, everything changed. She became a child they could use. They made her work around the house from a young age. When she started earning money, they took almost everything she made. If she protested, her father beat her. Her mother watched an

The baby

Olive woke to the faint, rhythmic beeping of a monitor. For several seconds, she didn’t know where she was. The ceiling above her was unfamiliar, painted a dull white that seemed almost too bright for her aching eyes. A sharp antiseptic smell lingered in the air, and somewhere nearby, medical equipment hummed softly.She tried to move. Pain immediately pulled through her abdomen. Olive sucked in a shaky breath and instinctively placed a hand over her stomach. The memories came rushing back — her parents, her mother’s hand in her hair, her father’s grip around her arm, the pavement, the blood. Her breath caught. She pushed herself up slightly, panic flooding her chest.“My baby…”The movement made her dizzy. Before she could try again, a man in a white coat stepped toward her.“Easy. Don’t sit up too quickly.”Olive looked at him with frightened eyes. The doctor placed a hand near her shoulder, helping her settle back against the pillow.“You’re safe. Just lie still for me.”“Where am

A hint of care

Silence filled the room for a moment.“What?”“She was injured last night. I brought her to a private clinic.”Olive’s eyes widened.“Ethan, What are you doing?” she whispered, panic immediately tightening her chest. “Don’t tell him.”Ethan looked at her, then brought the phone back to his ear. Desmond’s voice immediately changed.“Is she okay?”“She needs rest. The doctor is monitoring her.”“Text me the address now. I’ll be on my way.”Ethan looked at Olive again. The tension in her eyes was impossible to miss. She was practically begging him not to tell Desmond. Ethan’s expression hardened slightly.“Okay.”He ended the call. Olive stared at him.“You shouldn’t have answered.”“We’re talking about your life and your baby’s life,” Ethan said quietly. “The family should know what’s happening. Even if you don’t want anyone else to know, Desmond should.”Olive opened her mouth, but no words came. She didn’t know how to explain it. Ethan placed the phone back on the nightstand after sen

A confession

It was 11:39 p.m. by the time Desmond helped Olive out of the car in front of the hotel.The clinic had discharged her only after the doctor was satisfied that her condition had remained stable throughout the day. The bleeding had stopped, the baby’s heartbeat was strong, and although Olive was still weak and sore, there was no immediate reason to keep her there. Desmond had listened carefully to every instruction. She needed plenty of rest. She needed to avoid anything strenuous. She needed another examination soon, and if the pain returned or she started bleeding again, they were to take her straight back to the clinic.Under normal circumstances, Desmond would have taken her home. But it was already late, and Olive had convinced him that she didn’t want to return to the mansion tonight. She knew exactly what would happen if they went back. The servants would notice her condition. Someone would start asking questions. His family would eventually find out, and before long, everyone w

A confession 2

“I don't want you to go back to him, Genevieve.”The words stopped her cold.Genevieve stared at Alain, unable to decide whether she had heard him correctly. His voice had been quiet, almost restrained, but there was something underneath it that she couldn't ignore. Something raw enough to make her chest tighten.She slowly shook her head.“Why?”Alain looked away.“Forget I said that.”“No.”Her voice came out softer than she intended, but she didn't move away from him.“You don't get to say something like that and then tell me to forget it. Why don't you want me to go back to Desmond? Is there something I don't know?”Alain remained silent.Genevieve searched his face, growing more confused with every second he refused to answer. She had known him long enough to recognize when he was avoiding something, and tonight he wasn't simply avoiding her question. He was fighting with himself.“Alain.”He finally looked at her.“You really don't see it, do you?”Her brows drew together.“See

The unexpected

The Sterling Couture shoot was scheduled for ten that morning.By seven-thirty, the production team was already gathering downstairs. Garment bags were being carried through the lobby, makeup artists were checking their kits, and one of the assistants was speaking hurriedly into her phone as she tried to confirm the schedule.They had already tried knocking on Genevieve's door, but there had been no response from inside.Alain checked his watch when the report reached to him.Seven-thirty.He looked at his phone.Nothing. No calls from her. No text messages from her too.He called Genevieve.The phone rang.No answer.He frowned and tried again, but the result was the same.At first, he told himself she was avoiding him after what he had said the night before. He had finally said the words he had kept buried for too long, and he knew Genevieve had been left confused by them.But Genevieve had never been careless about work. Whatever was happening between them, she would never allow he

What about the baby?

“What about my baby?”The question came out barely above a whisper.Olive stared at the doctor, searching his face for the reassurance she desperately needed. She had been watching his expression ever since he entered the room, trying to read something from the way he held the file against his chest, but now there was something in his eyes that made the air leave her lungs.The doctor hesitated.That hesitation frightened her more than anything he could have said.“Doctor,” she whispered, her fingers tightening around the edge of the blanket. “What about my baby?”He pulled the chair closer to her bed and sat down, his expression becoming gentler.“Miss, I'm sorry.”Her heart seemed to stop.“What?”“I’m sorry,” he repeated quietly. “We weren't able to save the pregnancy.”For several seconds, she simply stared at him.The words reached her ears, but her mind refused to accept them. She looked down at her stomach as though expecting to feel some movement, some tiny reassurance that th

Nothing like the same

It was 10:30pm.Alain stood beside his car outside the hotel, pacing slowly across the parking area.The Sterling Couture shoot had been cancelled since morning.The makeup artists had packed their things. The photographers had left. The designers had been sent home, and the production team had been told that the shoot would be rescheduled for the following week.Alain had dismissed everyone himself.He should have been angry.Genevieve had never missed an important appointment without saying something. She had never left an entire production team waiting without even sending a message. But he couldn't bring himself to be angry with her.Not when he had walked into her hotel room that morning and found her phone, handbag, shoes, passport, and everything else exactly where she had left them.Not when he had found that broken piece of her bracelet on the floor.Something had happened.He knew it.His eyes moved toward the hotel entrance again.Still nothing.He pulled out his phone and

Crumpled

Alain lay on his back, staring at the ceiling.He had been in that position for almost twenty minutes, but he had barely noticed the time passing. His mind kept returning to Genevieve's face at the hotel.Something about her had been different.It wasn't only the coldness in her eyes. It was the way she had avoided his questions, the way she had refused to explain where she had been, and the strange urgency in her voice when she asked for the medical files again.She needed them.But for what?Alain turned to his side toward the window and let out a slow breath.He had told her he would find the files again for her. He had even promised that he would try to bring them to her.But now he couldn't stop wondering what she intended to do with them.She had asked for them immediately after returning to the hotel, as if whatever had happened while she was gone had changed something inside her.And after everything he had said to her the night before, after he had confessed his feelings to h

Three years of another lie

Genevieve stared at her phone as though it had suddenly become something else.Her heart was beating so hard that she could feel it against her ribs. She had spent the last few minutes convincing herself that she needed to make the call, that there was no other choice, that she only needed to say what she had to say and nothing more. She had rehearsed the words in her head several times, yet now that Desmond had actually answered, every single one of them had disappeared.“Genevieve?”Desmond's voice came through the phone.She closed her eyes.For a moment, she couldn't breathe properly. She had expected the call to go unanswered. She had almost hoped it would. Then she could have told herself that she had tried, and perhaps she would have found the courage to call again later.But he had picked up.And now she had no idea what to say.“Genevieve?” he called again, his voice softer this time. “Are you there?”Her fingers tightened around the phone.She opened her mouth, but nothing c
