The air felt thick, almost suffocating, as if the very walls were inching closer, constricting my thoughts. It was too quiet. Too damn stifling. My knee began to bounce-once, twice-an involuntary reaction to the simmering impatience that churned within. I found myself staring up at the ceiling tiles, half-expecting the solution to my predicament to be scrawled across them in bold letters.

How on earth was I supposed to reach out to the suits now? There was no nurse around. No one I could twist to my advantage. And certainly no plausible reason to meander into the main ward, hoping to stumble across someone who could be of use... Every plan that flickered through my mind extinguished just as swiftly. Start a fight to attract attention? Too dangerous. Inflict more pain on myself? The guards would simply haul me straight to the psych ward. With a frustrated exhale, I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling the throb behind my eyes intensify.

- Then I stopped, because holy hell, that hurt-hissing through clenched teeth. Perfect. I had definitely broken my face for nothing... And guilt began to creep back in, uninvited. Margot's worried expression flashed in my mind, her soft eyes filled with concern after witnessing Leo's brutal blow. She had hovered nearby, confusion written all over her face... and now, had it all been in vain?! But I shoved that thought down deep, locking it away. I couldn't afford to dwell on her right now. Not when I was trapped in this sterile box, blood drying into crusty flakes on my skin.

Then, unexpectedly... The latch clicked. The door swung open. And in stepped a blonde ponytail... Not Margot's warm, vibrant blonde, though. No, this ponytail was duller, frizzed at the ends, tied too high as if it were struggling to achieve a cuteness it would never possess. Addison. Of course. Just when I felt like I was teetering on the edge of my sanity, the universe decided to throw her into the mix. "The second I saw your name signed in, I rushed right over!" she announced, her breathy excitement grating against my already throbbing head.

She quickly shut the door behind her, as if we were embarking on some clandestine reunion. But then her expression shifted dramatically, her arms folding tightly across her chest, her mouth twisting into a displeased snarl. "But you've been silent since the girls arrived, Coban? What the hell?!" she snapped, her tone sharp and accusatory. There it was. The tone I had come to expect. Accusing. Jealous. As if she had any claim over me to begin with... I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Instead, I wiped away the fresh trickle of blood that had escaped down my upper lip.

"Can you at least give me something for my damn nose first," I shot back, "before you start lecturing me, Addison?!" She scoffed, shaking her head with exaggerated disbelief. "Unbelievable. You act like I'm the problem here?!" "You are the problem," I muttered under my breath, loud enough to catch her attention as her eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You say something?" she retorted, hands planted defiantly on her hips. I chose silence. I didn't need to say a word. My glare spoke volumes.

She clicked her tongue, striding toward the counter with a huff, grabbing gauze and antiseptic wipes with an exasperated force that felt unnecessary. "You know," she said sharply, approaching me again, "most men appreciate a little interest shown in them." I barked out a humorless laugh. "Most men don't have a broken face when that interest shows up." She hummed, clearly not convinced, stepping close enough that I could catch a whiff of her cheap floral perfume-a scent that instantly irritated my sinuses. What had I ever seen in her?

Before I could react, Addison grabbed my chin, tilting my head up with an unsettling familiarity. Too familiar. Too comfortable. Bella would never have dared to touch me like that. She would never have assumed she had the right... I jerked my face away from her grip. "Don't fucking touch me like that." - She blinked, looking taken aback. "I'm literally treating you, so don't be an ass!" Bella wouldn't have called me an ass either... She huffed and began cleaning my wounds anyway, dabbing the wipe under my nose with a bit more pressure than necessary, causing a sharp sting to shoot up my face.

"Jesus! Watch it, Addison!" I growled, irritation bubbling over. "Maybe if you hadn't been avoiding me like the plague these past few weeks," she muttered, "I'd be more gentle." My jaw clenched tightly. This was the last thing I needed to deal with. The very reason I had been trying so hard to keep my distance from her. "Addison," I said, my voice low and sharp, "I haven't had the luxury of visiting you. It takes extreme injuries like this to even get me up here." I tried to make it sound like that was the only reason for my absence...

She paused mid-dab, her breath hitching slightly-some twisted part of her likely took my words as flattery... "But you've at least missed me, right?" She tested, and all I could muster in response was a dull hum. "So what do you want? The floors are pretty busy today, but maybe I could arrange a quick... favor?" She leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, plugging one of my nostrils in the process as if she had been itching to cut to the chase all along...

"I need a favor." I interrupted her, my mind racing with the thought of how many inmates she must have entertained during her time here, a concern growing heavier by the second... "What exactly do you want?" She asked, her expression shifting from irritation to curiosity as she stepped back to admire her handiwork. I leaned forward slightly, lowering my voice to a whisper. "I need to speak to some important people. Today." Her face morphed from annoyance to surprise, then to suspicion. "Why?" she pressed, her eyes narrowing.

"That's not your concern." "It kind of is," she shot back, stepping closer again. "I'd be the one doing your dirty work once more... and you love that, don't you? Using me..." Her fingers grazed the skin on my neck, sending an involuntary shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, biting back my words, knowing that one wrong move could send her retreating, and I couldn't afford that. "Look, I just need you to make a call to the officials and let them know I'm here and need to speak with them-they'll handle the rest." I urged, as she leaned in closer, her body brushing against mine.

"What do I get?" she drawled, and I felt my fists clench at my sides, struggling to maintain my composure. "Addison." I dropped my voice to a gravelly whisper. "You know how this works. After everything we've been through together-you owe me this." **Chapter 137** Her breath caught at that. She understood exactly what I meant. One wrong move, one disagreement, and I could unleash all her hidden secrets to the suits, have her fired, ruin her life completely... she knew who held the real power in this room, and it certainly wasn't her. "But you still want to be with me, don't you?

On the outside? Because I've missed you so much, baby..." She leaned in closer, her warmth radiating against my skin, igniting a fire that I desperately tried to suppress. Damn it! "You must've missed me too?" she added, filling the silence as her hand slid across my groin. I tensed, feeling her touch through my pants, and closed my eyes, trying to focus... This was wrong. It felt cheap. It felt dirty. But I couldn't push her away... I needed her help... But what about Margot? My Bella...

Conclusion In the suffocating silence of the room, Coban found himself ensnared in a web of conflicting emotions, each thread pulling him in a different direction. The arrival of Addison, with her familiar yet irritating presence, forced him to confront the choices he had made and the relationships he had neglected. While he desperately sought a way to communicate with the outside world, he was painfully aware of the cost of his reliance on Addison.

The weight of his guilt for Margot and the memories of Bella loomed over him, a constant reminder of the love and connection he was risking for a fleeting moment of convenience. Coban's heart raced, torn between the need for survival and the haunting echoes of the past, as he grappled with the realization that he was playing a dangerous game, one that could cost him everything. As the tension in the air thickened, Coban's resolve began to harden. He understood that he was at a crossroads, where every decision could lead him further away from the person he wanted to be.

The allure of Addison's presence was a bitter reminder of what he had lost, but it also ignited a flicker of determination within him. He would not let himself be consumed by the shadows of his past or the manipulative grasp of someone who had once meant so much yet now felt like a burden. With a newfound clarity, Coban steeled himself, vowing to navigate the treacherous waters ahead with purpose. He would find a way to reclaim his agency, to reach out to those who truly mattered, and to break free from the chains that threatened to bind him.

The stakes are high, and the stakes will only rise as he realizes that Addison holds more power in this situation than he initially thought. Moreover, the arrival of unexpected allies or adversaries could further complicate Coban's already tumultuous predicament. Will Margot make a surprise appearance, challenging the dynamics between Coban and Addison? Or will the suits he seeks to contact prove to be a double-edged sword, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of his situation?

As Coban grapples with his past decisions and the weight of his choices, readers will be left on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating how he will navigate this minefield of emotions and alliances in the chapters to come.
