Doctors had assured him that with proper physical therapy he would eventually regain his strength, but the reality was proving to be quite the opposite. His hands developed a persistent tremor that made holding a pen difficult, and his once brilliant mind felt like it was constantly trapped in a thick fog.
The only person who seemed to have everything under control was a woman named Bridget Vane, who had entered his life when he was at his lowest point. While his old business associates drifted away, Bridget moved into the house and took charge of his medications, his diet, and his entire daily routine.
“You just need to be patient and trust the process,” she would say while adjusting his pillows and speaking in a voice that was almost too sweet to be real. Every single morning, Bridget prepared his breakfast by hand and insisted that he finish every drop of the juice she provided for his health.
She told him that the blend was packed with vitamins designed to accelerate his nerve recovery, and Miles had no reason to doubt the woman who claimed to love him. That trust remained unbroken until Bridget decided they needed more domestic help and hired a housekeeper named Elena Cruz.
