Chapter 312: Dragged Into Silence!
Lorraine’s breath came out in sharp, ragged edges as Hayes’ words curled around the room like cold smoke. Every cell in her body screamed for her to move, fight, run, claw, anything. But her legs stayed locked in place, and fear glued her to the wall.Hayes took one slow step toward her like a predator circling round its prey to make sure it doesn’t get away. He had raised Lorraine for a long time to know how smart she can try to be. That was the reason he didn’t take his eyes off her even after assigning her to Evans. He had asked another nurse in the hospital to keep a close eye on her and to report every of her movement to him.As a matter of fact, Hayes didn’t just get to know that Lorraine had switched the injections and had stopped giving Evans the one that was meant to induce his memory loss. He just played along with her as though he hadn’t known what she was doing, waiting for her next move.And the moment the nurse who was keeping an eye on Lorraine reported to him that Lor
Chapter 313: More Than Betrayal!
Hayes’ voice slithered into the cold room like a draft sneaking under a locked door. Lorraine blinked hard, trying to steady the spinning carousel in her skull. Her throat felt as dry as a burnt matchstick and somewhere in the midst of it all, she felt really thirsty but she knew it’d be of no use to request for a glass of water not when Hayes was already preparing himself to make her go through the worst torture of her life.Hayes then walked in a slow circle around her, hands behind his back, boots clicking against the concrete with a rhythm that set her nerves twitching.“I’ll start with something simple,” Hayes said, his tone clipped, almost bored. “Why did you betray me?”Lorraine kept her lips sealed. Her heart thrashed in her chest like a trapped bird, but she said nothing.She knew there was no point in saying anything as it wouldn’t in any way change Hayes’ mind. She just wanted him to do his worse and let her be as it was what was going to happen anyway.Hayes lifted a brow.
Chapter 314: When The Truth is Revealed!
Lorraine’s breathing stuttered as Hayes’ words hit her, and as her mind travelled back to the men who had come to take her away as a little girl, and had made her separate from her sister, Dorin. “Did you know what happened to my parents? All those years ago?” She rasped, forgetting the pains on her wrists and now focused on knowing the truth.Hayes didn’t turn fully to face her. He only angled his head, watching her from the corner of his eye. His smirk stretched, slow and delighted, as though she had finally wandered into the exact trap he’d laid two decades ago.“Ah. That question.” His voice warmed with something sickly sweet. “I wondered how long it would take before you asked.”“Answer me.” Lorraine barked louder, as though if given a chance to break free, she could rip Hayes’ head from his body.Hayes stepped closer, boots whispering across the concrete. “You think I, a man with my… responsibilities, would simply stop my car one night, see a lonely, wandering street child blee
Chapter 315: A Dream In A Memory!
It's been over twenty-four hours since Andrew had promised Hailey that he’d help her look into the skull badge that she had talked about, and how it could be of any help in helping her look for older sister, Vivian.But ever since the time that she told Andrew about the little fragments of her past which she could remember, it had almost become ad though her mind had been entirely on that part of her life. There had been that burning desire to find out what happened to her parents and how she can find her older sister, Vivian again.And so, on this particular fateful night while she sept, Hailey drifted into a deep sleep the way petals fall into a pond, slow at first, then swallowed whole by the dark. Somewhere in the depths of her mind, she had carried parts of the memories from her past into her sleep, and some of them had decided to follow her into the world of dreams weaving her past into her dreams and taking her back to the time when her family was still whole and together.In t
Chapter 316: The Reapers!
The name Dorin echoed Hailey’s head long after the lights had gone out, and no matter how much she tried to push it aside and return to sleep, it wouldn’t let her. It pulsed at the edges of her thoughts like a whisper that refused to fade.And that made her lay awake for hours, watching the dim line of dawn creep through her curtains until morning finally came although somewhere in between it all, she had fallen asleep but she just couldn’t tell how long she did.But if there was something she could draw from the dream, it was in the simple fact that her parents’ deaths was not just a mere accident. And whatever she had jus seen in her dream, was a way of telling her that it was time to dig into the real cause of her parents’ death and not just to find her older sister Vvian.***By the time Andrew arrived the next morning, Hailey was already dressed and seated at the kitchen table, a half-drunk cup of coffee cooling beside her. The dark circles under her eyes told him everything—she
Chapter 317: June 12; A Day To Remember!
Jackson stood near the exit of the hospital, watching as Evans and Celestine stepped out of the hospital for the first time in weeks. The loneliness he now experienced even with the servants around to serve him, was swallowing him whole, and he just needed someone to be around him to keep him company.He had thought that Mr. Copper would change his mind and just return to surprise him, but it was already appearing to him that the old man had really been offended by him, and had decided not to come back again.At first, he had thought he could live fine without Copper or any of his friends, but only now had reality begun to dawn on him that he needed them much more than they needed him.The morning sun was warm, washing everything in soft gold. For once, the world didn’t seem so heavy.Evans inhaled deeply, his chest rising with quiet relief. “Fresh air,” he murmured, smiling faintly. “I’d forgotten what that even felt like.” With the fact that his memories were already coming back, h
Chapter 318: More Than Just An Anniversary!
Bella sat cross-legged on the couch, her fingers brushing lightly over the frame in her hands. The dim light of the setting sun filtered through her curtains, casting an amber glow over the photograph she’d been staring at for the past ten minutes, the one of her and Jackson, taken exactly a year ago.In the photo, they were laughing at something silly. She had leaned against him, eyes half closed from laughter, while he’d been looking at her like she was the only thing in the world that mattered. It was the same day they had agreed to call themselves officially a couple.Her lips curved sadly. “One year,” she whispered, the words barely audible. “We were supposed to be celebrating today.”Her eyes came almost half closed as the memories came rushing back — how she’d planned this day months ago. She’d imagined waking up to one of Jackson’s teasing messages, maybe even a delivery of white tulips (her favorite), followed by a quiet dinner somewhere overlooking the skyline. Something sim
Chapter 319: Operation Un-sad Bella!
Before Bella could say anything else, there came three sharp knocks on the door.Nancy looked at Bella, unable to hide her surprise. “Did you order food?”Bella shook her head. “No, I didn’t.”Just then, another round of knocks followed, louder this time.Nancy stood, brushing her palms on her jeans. “Okay, that better be a neighbor and not some creepy—”She pulled the door open, and then came the shout that startled her.“Surpriiiise!”Andrew, Hailey, and James stood shoulder to shoulder in the hallway like a trio of very unserious superheroes. James had a ridiculous grin on his face, Hailey was holding a paper bag of snacks, and Andrew, for once, looked oddly proud of himself.Nancy was still trying to regain herself as she hadn’t seen the surprise coming at all, when the trio moved past her and strode in as though they owned the place.Bella blinked. “Wait— what… what are you all doing here?”Nancy, who had finally regained herself, turned towards James as though she was just reali
Chapter 320: The Woman At The Graveyard!
A soft wind moved through the wide, quiet cemetery, rustling the leaves of the old trees that stood like solemn guards. The morning sun was muted behind clouds, casting a gentle gray glow over the rows of tombstones.Samantha stood still in front of Jack's gravestone, staring at the name that was crested there and the duration of his life which was just like a fleeting passing couple of seconds before her.Sometimes, she still found it difficult to believe that Jack was really gone even if he had long been buried and forgotten. Sometimes, she still keeps hoping and believing that he’d just jump from his grave and surprise her without her expecting it.But lately, she was beginning to tell herself the truth that whatsoever it was that she was imagining would happen was nothing but mere wishful thinking, and that it was time to accept the truth that he was gone and really gone for good.And so, as she stood there that morning, her knees felt weak, but she held the bouquet of white lilie
Chapter 321: A Theatre of Dreams!
It took nearly an hour, though figuratively as James had predicted before Bella finally stepped out of her room dressed in something simple yet breathtaking: a soft cream top tucked into a pleated skirt, her hair loosely curled, her eyes lightly touched with makeup courtesy of Nancy and Hailey.“Perfect,” Hailey said, clasping her hands together.“Gorgeous,” Nancy added.Andrew gave a small approving nod. “Movie-theatre appropriate.”James whistled dramatically. “Jackson who?”Bella swatted him lightly on the arm, but she smiled for the first time, genuinely. But even with that she couldn’t deny the fact that the group wasn’t really complete without Jackson, and that’s not because he was her boyfriend but because there was something about his presence in the group that seemed to make them all feel invincible in the same way that James was in always having something to say to make everyone laugh.Within minutes, the group piled into James’s car and drove across the city. The sun was di
