Chapter One Hundred And Twenty OneHenry's heart raced as he walked briskly away from the hospital, the nurse's uniform clinging to his body like a second skin. The city lights danced in the distance, a faint glimmer of freedom that felt both exhilarating and fragile.As he turned a corner, he came face to face with a soldier stationed near one of the hospital's entrances. The soldier's gaze bore into Henry, his eyes sharp and scrutinising. Henry's heart clenched in his chest as he tried to steady his breathing and control his nerves."Hey, you there!" The soldier's voice cut through the night air, his tone authoritative.Henry's throat constricted as he tried to respond, his voice quivering as he stammered, "I-I d-don't kn-know..."The soldier's brow furrowed, his gaze narrowing. "Did you see anyone suspicious around here?"Henry's heart pounded in his chest, his palms growing clammy. He stammered again, "N-n-no, I-I d-didn't see..."The soldier regarded him for a moment, then nodded
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Two Elijah's heart raced as he listened to the crackling voice on the other end of the line. The police officer's words hung heavy in the air, each one striking him like a cold gust of wind on a winter's day. Henry, the prime suspect, the man responsible for the nightmares that had consumed his life, was missing."I'm sorry to inform you, Elijah," the officer's voice was low and somber, "we've searched everywhere, but Henry is nowhere to be found. Not in the hospital, not anywhere we've looked."Elijah's grip tightened on the phone, his knuckles turning white as his mind raced. He couldn't believe it. After everything that had happened, after the agony his wife Selena had endured, after the sleepless nights and endless tears, Henry had slipped through their grasp."How is that possible?" Elijah's voice trembled, anger mixing with the fear that churned in his gut. "You had him in custody, you said he was injured. How could he just disappear?""We had off
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Three Selena's eyes were filled with curiosity and a hint of suspicion as she sat by Elijah's bedside, her gaze fixed on him. "Elijah," she began, her voice soft yet probing, "there's something I've been wondering about."Elijah met her gaze, his heart skipping a beat. He knew exactly what she was referring to – the visits from the President, the air of importance that had surrounded them. He had hoped she wouldn't ask, that he could shield her from the truth. But he also knew that Selena was perceptive, that she wouldn't let her questions go unanswered."What is it?" he asked, feigning innocence, though his mind raced with thoughts of how to respond.Selena hesitated for a moment before continuing, her fingers twisting in her lap. "I've been thinking… the President visiting you twice, in person, it's not something that happens every day. It's almost as if you're someone very important."Elijah's heart tightened in his chest. He could see the curiosity
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Four As Selena stepped into the large expensive luxury mansion, her eyes widened in awe at the sheer grandeur of the place. The intricate architecture, the tasteful décor, and the vast expanse of the estate left her speechless. It was unlike anything she had ever seen before."Elijah, this place is incredible," she exclaimed, turning to him with a wide smile.Elijah couldn't help but chuckle at her excitement. "I'm glad you like it, Selena."As they walked through the spacious hallways, Selena's excitement began to mix with a sense of tension. She knew that they were here for their safety, but being surrounded by such opulence made her feel somewhat out of place. Her cheeks turned a deep shade of pink as Elijah's words caught her off guard."We'll be sharing the same bed and room," he mentioned casually, his eyes meeting hers.Selena's heart skipped a beat as she fumbled for words, her face growing even redder. The thought of sharing a bed with Elijah m
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Five Selena stood there, her heart racing as she looked into Elijah's warm, reassuring eyes. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the tranquil park where they had chosen to meet. As they embraced, she felt his strong arms enveloping her, a safe haven amidst the chaos of the world. With her head resting on his shoulder, she could feel his steady heartbeat, matching the rhythm of her own.With a deep breath, Selena mustered the courage to speak her dreams aloud. Her voice quivered with emotion as she whispered, "Elijah, my dream is to become a doctor. I want to heal, to make a difference in people's lives. And more than anything, I dream of a peaceful, happy life, a life filled with love and laughter. Oh, and I want a cat too, a furry companion to share my days with."Elijah pulled back slightly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "A doctor, huh? That's a noble dream, Selena. I can see you saving lives and making the world a better place." His
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Six Elijah's heart raced as he stood in the grand office of the professor vice chancellor of Harvard Medical University. The room was adorned with shelves filled with leather-bound books and awards, an atmosphere that reflected the professor's esteemed reputation. Elijah cleared his throat, nervously glancing at the man behind the imposing desk."Professor," Elijah began, his voice quivering slightly, "I come here with a heartfelt request. My wife, Selena, has always dreamed of studying medicine at Harvard. She's incredibly dedicated and passionate about healing others."The professor, a stern-looking man with graying hair, studied Elijah for a moment before responding. "Mr. Elijah, I understand the importance of dreams and aspirations, but admissions for this year have already closed. The process is highly competitive and we must adhere to the established timeline."Elijah's heart sank. He had hoped that perhaps there was a way, but the professor's wor
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty SevenSelena stirred in her slumber, her eyelids fluttering as the warm morning sunlight streamed through the curtains. Slowly, she became aware of the soft comfort of her bed, the familiar scent of her room, and the gentle sounds of birds chirping outside. With a soft sigh, she stretched her arms above her head and let out a contented yawn, feeling the remnants of a peaceful dream slip away.Rubbing her eyes, Selena reached over to her bedside table and grabbed her phone. Candy Crush had become a comforting ritual, a way to ease into the day. But as her finger hovered over the app, her heart skipped a beat. An unread email notification from Harvard Medical University caught her attention. Dread crept into her chest, memories of past rejection letters flooding her mind.Her fingers trembled as she tapped on the email icon. She stared at the screen, eyes scanning the subject line without actually reading the words. The weight of anticipation was almost su
Chapter One Hundred And Twenty EightAs the elation of Selena's acceptance settled, the atmosphere in the room shifted. Their joyful moment seemed to hang in the air as a heaviness crept in, casting a shadow over the room.Elijah noticed the change in Selena's demeanor. He furrowed his brows, concern etching his features. "Is something wrong, Selena? You seem... different."Selena's smile faltered, her gaze dropping to her lap. She took a deep breath, summoning the courage to speak. "Elijah, there's something else I need to tell you," she began, her voice quieter now.He leaned in, his expression growing more serious. "What is it?"She hesitated, the weight of her words pressing down on her chest. "I received another email this morning... It's about our divorce proceedings."Elijah's eyes widened, disbelief and shock crossing his face. "Divorce?" he echoed, his voice barely a whisper.Tears welled up in Selena's eyes as she looked up at him. "I didn't want to bring it up right after s
