At that moment, my sole desire became clear—to stay by Debra’s side and navigate through the treacherous hours that lay ahead.
“Damien, I deeply regret my words to Debra before..
Damien sighed.
“During the most perilous moment, she selflessly risked her own life to save yours, a testament to her love for you. And yet, what have you done?”
Indeed, what had I done?
Throughout all those days, I had been inflicting pain upon her.
I had unquestionably gone too far, yet in spite of it all, Debra fearlessly came to my rescue.
Overwhelmed by an overwhelming sense of guilt, I shut my eyes, succumbing to the suffocating grip of remorse.
“Honey, why are you here at the hospital?” Janiya‘’s voice broke through the haze of guilt and regret, momentarily pulling me out of my introspection.
She, too, came to the hospital, her concerned gaze fixed upon me.
A surge of anger welled up within me.
If not for Janiya, would Debra be lying here, her life hanging in the balance?
“Why am I at the hospital? Why don’t you take a guess?” I cast a darkened gaze upon Janiya, my face clouded with emotions on the verge of boiling over.
However, Janiya, oblivious to my rising anger, regarded me with genuine concern and extended her hand to me, seeking solace in our connection.
“Please, don’t frighten me. Are you feeling unwell?”𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
I instinctively took a step back, evading Janiya’s outstretched hand.
Janiya’s countenance shifted into one of sadness and hurt, her Lips forming a pout as she voiced her grievances.
“Earlier, when we were on the verge of finalizing the contract with Adam at the restaurant, you abruptly left without providing any explanation. It left Adam quite furious.”
A sneer involuntarily tugged at the corner of my Lips.
I yearned to rid myself of Janiya’s presence if it were feasible.
“Janiya, there’s a question that I need an honest answer to. Why did you orchestrate Debra’s kidnapping?”
Caleb’s POV:
Janiya momentarily appeared taken aback, but swiftly recovered, feigning ignorance.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Kidnapping? I don’t understand.”
