Struggling to rise from the floor, I gritted my teeth against the pain and slowly pushed myself upright. As I steadied myself, I saw Dylan clutching the pillow tightly, his eyes still glazed from the effects of the drug. "Charlotte... Charlotte….I love..you," he murmured, his voice filled with longing.The sound of his voice calling out her name tore through me, and in a surge of anguish and frustration, I cried out, "Ahhhh... Charlotte!" The pain in my back seemed to amplify my anguish. "I'm going to make your life miserable. I'll ruin you!" My words rang out with anger and despair, echoing in the room."I can't bear this any longer. I can't allow this to happen," I whispered to myself, my mind racing with desperation. "Using the drug again would have a severe impact on Dylan. and I can't let that happen. He's my only link to wealth. It has to happen tonight. Dylan must have sex with me."As I remembered the plans Sonia had shared with me, a smile tugged at the corners of my lips. "P
Allison POV"Let me go!" I choked out, struggling against Dylan's relentless grip on my neck. Panic surged through me as I fought for breath, feeling the heat rise within me and my vision blurring. "Please... I might die..." I screamed, desperation lacing my words as I pleaded for release. Finally, Dylan relented, releasing his hold on my neck. Gasping for air, I collapsed to the floor, coughing and wheezing, the sensation of nearly being choked to death overwhelming me.Dylan, wordless, made his way to the bed and sat down heavily, his hand coming to rest on his head. Meanwhile, I remained on the floor, clutching my neck, the trauma of the moment leaving me shaken and struggling to regain my composure.*****For the past two weeks in Germany, Dylan has been avoiding me. He barely speaks, immersing himself in meetings, working on his fashion project, and constantly calling Charlotte. Every attempt I make to engage him is met with rejection. I've tried speaking to him, reaching out to
As I knocked on the door and stepped into the room, I was met with the arresting sight of Charlotte and the young man turning their gaze toward me. Charlotte rose from her seat, her expression surprise and bewilderment."Dylan, you're back? What are you doing here?" she inquired, her words landing like a jolt.I stood rooted to the spot, taken aback by her unexpected question. "What am I doing here? I've been checking up on you daily for the past weeks, and what am I doing here?" I murmured under my breath, struggling to comprehend the situation.My eyes then shifted to the young man seated beside Charlotte, his presence adding an extra layer of complexity to the moment. As Charlotte turned her attention back to me, she hesitated before introducing us."Dylan, this is my childhood friend, Aaron. And Aaron, this is my..." She paused, her gaze flickering between me and Aaron before finally continuing, "my ex-husband."Aaron rose from his seat, extending his hand toward me with a courteo
I gazed at Grandma Adaline, then at my mom and Sonia, feeling a wave of uncertainty over me. What should I say? Should I confess that I hadn't taken a test and was simply going by my intuition about being pregnant? Would they believe me? As the silent tension lingered, I mustered a smile and addressed Grandma Adaline."Grandma Adaline, what's the importance of a test result? I know I'm pregnant, and that's what truly matters, right?" I suggested, attempting to deflect the need for concrete evidence."I understand, dear. But I need to see the test results for my own certainty. If I were to tell my kids and grandkids about your pregnancy, they would undoubtedly ask for the test results to be sure," Grandma Adaline explained, her words carrying responsibility and concern.Her insistence on verification left me pondering how to solve the situation.As I stood in silence, feeling the situation, Sonia stepped in and took charge. "Don't worry, Grandma. We'll be back with the test results,"
"What baby?" I repeated, but all I could hear in response were sobs. "Where is she? Which hospital?" I urgently asked."At City General," Angela replied before abruptly ending the call.I hurried to the hospital and made my way to the operating room, where I found Nathan and Angela standing in front. "What baby?" I halted in my tracks to ask once more. Angela and Nathan turned to look at me, and before Angela could respond, the operation room door swung open, and the doctor emerged."Doctor Stephen, what happened? How is my sister and the baby?" Nathan inquired anxiously.I was stunned to the core. A baby? Is Charlotte pregnant? I asked myself in shock, my mind racing with unanswered questions."Who is the father?" Doctor Stephen asked Nathan, his gaze fixed on him. Nathan turned and pointed to me. "He is the father," Nathan replied, casting a solemn glance in my direction. Confusion and disbelief clouded my mind as I struggled to comprehend what was unfolding.Doctor Stephen approach
"Dylan... it's all your fault!"Charlotte's words struck me like a lightning bolt. "My fault?" I asked in shock. "I hate.....you, Dylan. I hate....you," she screamed, her voice filled with anguish and anger. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her whole body trembled with emotion."How could you both take my baby away from me? I won't have troubled you about taking care of him. I was capable to do so," Charlotte cried out, her voice cracking with desperation. "He was my only hope, the only gift I have gotten from you, Dylan, the only gift I got after your family's maltreatment and abuse, all the abuse I got from them. He was my only hope in getting over everything."Tears streamed down her face as she continued, her voice rising to a fever pitch. "Why did you and Allison take him away from me? Why can't I be happy, Dylan... I hate...you," she screamed in anger, her words echoing in the hospital room.As I watched her, my heart ached with guilt and helplessness. I never me
"Who is getting killed?" Grandma Adaline's voice cut through the tense atmosphere as she and Grace, Allison's mom, swiftly intervened, pulling Allison and Sonia away from the police. "Why haven't you handcuffed them yet?" I demanded, my frustration boiling over in a maelstrom of emotions."What's wrong, Dylan? Why are the police in our mansion?" Grandma Adaline inquired, her gaze sharp as she shielded Allison behind her. I moved to step closer to Allison and grabbed her with all my might, but my mom quickly came and held me back, her expression concerned and warning. As I turned to face her, she shook her head. "Dylan... no," she said firmly, her voice tinged with urgency."Mom..." I protested, my anger flaring as she held me in a tight embrace, her arms a barrier between me and the unfolding turmoil. her touch, the silent plea in her eyes, gave me pause, and I struggled to rein in the tempest of emotions raging within me.I turned to face Grandma Adaline, my voice laced with fury.

Uncle Zack staggered back and almost fell to the ground, but he was quickly restrained by one of the nearby police officers. I seethed with anger, wanting to confront him further, but my mom held me back, her grip firm and determined."How dare you slap my mom?" I seethed, my voice trembling with fury and disbelief."Do you want to kill your uncle because of that slut, Charlotte... I can't believe this. What drugs has she used on you?" Grandma Adaline's voice rose in frustration.I felt a surge of emotions welling up inside me. All the pent-up frustration and anger I had harbored for Uncle Zack came rushing to the surface. He had caused so much pain and suffering, and I had suppressed my feelings for far too long. Now, I stood there, my body trembling with rage as I glared at Uncle Zack. the situation pressed down on me, and I knew I had reached a breaking point. I was no longer willing to turn a blind eye to the harm he had caused the family. I was ready to confront the truth and fac
