Chapter Thirty OneAvenne's POVI finally allowed the doctors to take the President away because I knew my healing ability was not working as quickly as it normally did, and even though I had managed to stop most of the bleeding and close part of the wound, the bullet was still inside his body and needed to be removed properly.I followed them into the medical room and stayed beside him while the doctors prepared everything they needed.“Please wait outside,” one of the doctors told me.“No,” I answered immediately. “I’m staying.”The President looked at me from the bed.“Avenne.”“I’m not leaving.”He looked like he wanted to argue, but the doctor stepped closer and began examining the wound.“Her healing ability has already done a lot of work,” the doctor said as he carefully checked the injury. “Without it, his condition would have been much worse.”I released a quiet breath.“So he will be fine?”“He should be, but we still need to remove the bullet.”I nodded.The doctors prepare

Chapter Thirty-Three — Avenne’s POVThe doctor came into the room a little while later and told the President that the surgery had gone well and there was no reason for him to remain at the hospital any longer, although he still needed to rest and avoid putting too much pressure on the wound.The moment he heard that, the President made his decision.“We are going back.”I looked at him from where I was sitting. “Back to the residence?”“Yes.”“You just had surgery.”“And you just gave me your blood,” he replied calmly. “Neither of us needs to stay here any longer than necessary.”I wanted to argue with him, but the tiredness in my body made it difficult to find the strength, and before I could say anything, he had already instructed his men to prepare the cars.Everything happened quickly after that.His men gathered the things we needed, spoke to the doctors, and made sure the journey back would be as comfortable as possible. I watched them move around the room while the President s

Chapter Thirty-Five — Avenne’s POVAfter Beatrice left, I returned to my room and closed the door behind me, but I could not stop thinking about everything she had said and, more importantly, everything I had heard at the doorstep.I had spent the entire journey back worrying about the President, thinking about his wound and wondering whether he was resting properly, but now I knew I needed to stop doing that.I needed to keep my distance.The President had a fiancée, his parents supported her, and everyone around him seemed to expect him to marry her soon, so the last thing I wanted was to become another problem in a situation that was already complicated.I decided that I would no longer keep checking on him.If he needed anything, his men were there.If he needed medical attention, there were doctors available.If he wanted someone to help him, he had people who had been serving him long before I came into his life.I had my own responsibilities, and once he recovered completely, I

Chapter Thirty SevenHer PovI stood outside the President’s office, staring at the closed door while I tried to gather the courage to go inside, because although I had spent enough time thinking about his proposal, I still wasn’t comfortable with the idea of marrying a man who already had a fiancée, even if the marriage was only going to exist on paper.However, I couldn’t ignore the reality of my situation, because the people who had attacked me were still out there, and I had no idea when they might come after me again, which meant that leaving the President’s residence without knowing where to go would be foolish, especially when I had already discovered that my safety was no longer something I could take for granted.I didn’t want to marry him, but I also didn’t want to spend the rest of my life running from people who wanted to hurt me, so if accepting his proposal was the price I had to pay to remain protected for now, then I would accept it, provided he understood that becomin

Chapter 39 - The Woman Behind the MaskAvenne’s POVI sat on the sofa in my room, staring at the clock on the wall as I waited for the President’s family to arrive, because after everything that had happened the previous day, I knew that I couldn’t avoid meeting them forever, especially now that I had signed the contract agreeing to marry their son.Although the President had assured me that he would handle Beatrice himself, I had a feeling that the woman wouldn’t accept the situation easily, and considering how determined she had been to make me leave the residence, I wasn’t looking forward to seeing her again.However, Beatrice wasn’t the person I was most worried about, because my real problem was the connection between the President and my past, and if anyone in his family discovered the truth about my previous marriage, I had no idea what would happen to the contract I had just signed.I rubbed my forehead and let out a tired sigh, wishing there were a way to get through the day
