All Chapters of Forever Was Yours to Ruin: Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

Elliot stayed unconscious for three days.In his dream, none of it had happened.He'd rushed Claire to the hospital in time. The cancer was still in its early stages, and she had a real chance.He stayed beside her through chemo, hired the best nutritionist, and took care of her day and night.He even tasted every meal before letting her eat.The day Claire recovered, he broke down crying.He pulled her into his arms, his voice shaking."Thank God you're okay."Promise me you'll never hide anything from me again. And never leave without telling me."Okay...?"Claire looked up at him with a smile, ready to answer.Then her brows pinched in pain.She coughed up blood."Claire!"Elliot lunged for her.The next second, he jolted awake.His hands closed around nothing but the cold air of the hospital room.At the noise, the doctor hurried in. After checking him over, he let out a quiet sigh."Mr. Paulson, you slipped into a coma from the shock. You need plenty of rest."H

The second Elliot locked eyes with Wyatt's stunned, panicked stare, he knew everything in his assistant's files was true.He'd been falling apart for months.Every time he closed his eyes, Claire's pale, fragile face in her final moments came rushing back. Regret haunted every second he was awake.He searched everywhere for any sign of her, but she'd gotten rid of everything she owned. Zoe wouldn't even see him, leaving him with nothing.He'd come so close... to following Claire into death.Then he accidentally found a photo of Claire in Wyatt's assistant's files. At first, he thought he was losing his mind.But then he found more.Every single one was Claire.Alive. Real. Standing right in front of him.Thinking back on Wyatt's months-long refusal to return to Santoria—and all his strange behavior—Elliot knew something was off. He flew over that same night.He grabbed Wyatt by the collar, rage blazing in his eyes."Claire's alive. You found her. Why the hell did you hide it
