Wanted Him Safe.
April’s POVI woke to the soft tug at my arm...“April…hey, hey, wake up,” Wren murmured softly, like she wouldn't have disturbed me if she didn't have to.I groaned, burying my face deeper into the pillow. “Mm…don’t want to,” I muttered, my voice thick, hoarse from crying earlier. My throat burned, my body ached, and the room felt unbearably heavy.“Food,” she said softly, nudging me again. “You need to eat something.”I rolled onto my side, refusing to meet her gaze. “I…don’t have any appetite.”Wren sighed. She sat beside me on the edge of the bed, her hand brushing my hair back gently. “April…you’re not going to be okay if you don’t take care of yourself. I know it’s hard, but you have to eat. Just a little.”I wanted to argue, but I felt too drained to even say another word. I couldn't eat. Not when the mere thought of food made bile rise in my throat.So rather than explain it to her, I just buried my face in my hands, letting the tears slide silently.Wren rested a hand on my s
My Fault.
April’s POVI walked into Hale Corp with zero will. I was tired. Drained. Exhausted..it felt like I was walking through a dream I desperately wanted to wake from.My heels were broken, so I held them in hand, swinging them back and forth as I walked. Tears streaked my face, smudging the carefully applied makeup I hadn’t even remembered putting on that morning. I felt hollow, numb, like my body had given up before I even realized it.People turned their gaze to me the moment I walked into the lobby. Way to being invincible..Anyway , the sprung at me, doing the thing they do best. Judging. Trying to get gossip.“Is it true?” one assistant asked, her voice cracking. “The news said…is Mr. Hale....” she faltered.“I don’t know!” I managed, my voice barely more than a hoarse croak. I couldn’t think, couldn’t speak.My mind was in total disarray. Every second felt like I was looking at myself outside my own body.My stomach turned as I tried to swallow bile that refused to move."Miss Dawn?
Just The Beginning.
Liam’s POVThe moment Sinclair’s car plunged off the bridge, I gunned the truck forward, the tires squealing against the asphalt.My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned bone-white, but the twisted grin stretching across my face never wavered. Neither did the satisfaction I felt dwindle.A cruel laugh ripped from my throat, low and sharp, echoing in the confines of the truck.“See who’s dead now,” I muttered, the words tasting like victory on my tongue.The image replayed in my head, the headlights cutting through the misty night, the screech of metal, Sinclair’s car teetering for a heartbeat on the bridge’s edge before gravity claimed it.Then silence, broken only by the crashing waves below.And then he was gone. Just like that.The vibration of my phone shattered the moment, its sharp ring slicing through the hum of adrenaline. I fished it out of my jacket pocket, still smirking when the name lit up the screen.The Terminator.I swiped to answer.“It’s don
Such A Fool.
April’s POV"He's stable now."The doctor’s words were calm and steady, so very different from the storm I felt clawing at my chest.For a moment, I could only stare at him.My ears rang, the sterile white of the hospital room blurring as the tension coiled tight in my muscles began to loosen, leaving me shaky and weak.Relief hit me hard, making my knees threaten to buckle. He was safe. Grandpa Hale was okay.“Thank you, doctor,” I said, my voice trembling as I reached for his hand, gripping it like a lifeline.He gave me a polite nod, the faintest of smiles, before slipping out and closing the door softly behind him.I turned back to the bed, my gaze falling on the frail figure lying against crisp white sheets. The steady beeping of the monitor filled the silence, each sound a reassurance that he was still here. His face, though pale and drawn, looked almost peaceful.I wanted to stay.God, I wanted to stay and sit by his side until he woke up, let him know he wasn’t alone.But I co
How Much I Loved Him.
April's POVI stared at the clock again. It was about 12:07PM. He still wasn't here. He'd sent a text that he'd be here in about 10 to 20 minutes and it was almost an hour since I got the text.I sat perched on the edge of Grandpa Hale’s sofa, pouring his tea the way he liked it. Barely warm, a little more milk than the doctor recommended, two spoonfuls of sugar even though the nurses had been scolding him about it all week."You're a serious suspect," he spoke, looking at me suspiciously."Grandpa, I'm serious. The text wasn't meant for me. I think he sent it by accident," I defended myself."I'm old, not stupid," he huffed. "You two definitely have something going on. You obviously blushed. I saw it.""I...." I pressed my lips into a thin line.What was I going to say to bail myself out of this now?"Listen, Grandpa," I moved closer to hold his hands. "Sin's married. I wouldn't try to come in-between a married couple. Trust me."He nodded, and dropped his cup to pull me in for a hug
Possessive CEO Mode.
I hated boardrooms.Don't get me wrong, it wasn't because it got me stressed or intimidated.Please. If there was one place in the world where I thrived, then it was here.So yeah, it was far from that. I hated it here today because of one reason.She wasn’t here.April wasn't here with me.The chair at my left sat empty. That was her spot.She'd normally slide into her seat and stay quiet till the meeting finished. She never moved until I snapped my fingers and she'd appear with a pen in hand, ready to take over any duty I had for her.Now, it just felt empty, and every time my eyes flickered that way, I sighed like a sulking baby.I stared at my phone for the umpteenth time. She hasn't replied my last two messages. If I kept pestering her then she'd probably ignore me completely.I looked to to see Veronica already seated at the table, legs crossed, sunglasses still perched on her head as if she owned the sunlight. Her head was bent over her phone, nails clacking furiously against t
