Chapter: Framed?MARCO’S POV Vanessa, Emily's step mother sat in the living room, I had totally forgotten about her. I remember knocking her down in that house, but I Can't remember giving any of my men the order to bring her back here. “You?” She looked at me, her eyes just stared at me blankly. “Marco?” I heard Mr Harper's voice. “What's she doing here?” “What do you mean by that? She's here because she's my wife.” “Hmmm, wife?” “What brings you here by this time of the day?” he asked. “We need to talk,” “Can't you say it here?” “Sure, but I'm not sure it's something you'd want your beloved wife to hear.” He looked at me his brows raised, as if questioning. I went towards his study, I didn't even want to be in the same room with that woman else I'd kill her. “To what do I owe this meeting? Or have you finally decided to forgive me.” His eyes fixed on mine, they were sullen and bright with unshed tears. The sadness in them very evident. I looked away. “Be gentle with Vanessa, I don't kno

Chapter: PhotosMARCO’S POV Hivan held me by the neck, maybe he felt he was the one with the power, “if you lay a finger on Emily, I'll make sure I kill you. I don't care if you're Marco Virell Martini.” “My house, my rules, my property, my opinion.” I looked him in the eyes, “If I choose to kill my own wife, you have no say in that.” The last part came out cold and teasing. His jaw clenched, the hand that gripped my neck tightened. Knowing that I could end this right now, and still chose to keep it going, making him feel like he's in charge was a little amusing… but the hand gripping my neck wasn't. His eyes darkened with a resolve, in the next minute, he flung me across the wall, still wanting to make him feel powerful, I threw myself to the wall which accentuated my hit. The pain that shot through my ribs made me almost regret my decision, I was used to pain… but not this kind of voluntary pain. If I was going to keep him in my house, I needed certainty that he was on our side, or at least..

Chapter: Someone to meet EMILY’S POV Marco had not noticed my skepticism, he was walking a step ahead of me. “What are we doing here?” I asked him. “Come, I want to show you something.” He held his hands out to me. “Don't be scared, she's not here.” He squeezed my hands that were trembling slightly and led me through the dark path. I kept thinking of Isabella as we walked, what if her spirit was still hovering around? I brushed the thought away and tried to see our surroundings through the very dim light that came from a lantern on the wall. I could barely make out anything, aside from Marco's back. There was a light coming from a distance as we rounded a corner. How was this house built? I knew there was a dungeon here, but I had no idea it was this big and deep. We stepped into the light, I closed my eyes to stop the stars I was seeing and adjust to the switch in lighting. To my right, Jonathan stood there with a pliers, two other guards stood at each side of a bloodied man. My stomach churned at the s

Chapter: Friends settle “Are you okay?” Phil asked. “Yeah, sure, I'm fine.” I gave him a smile, and got up. “A moment please.” “Can we talk outside?” Judi asked once I was close enough to hear her. I nodded and walked out of the room. Both of us just stood there, staring at nothing, no one said anything. “Emily, I'm really sorry for what I said. I was so angry and I thought you probably didn't understand how I felt and was taking Justina's side. I'm really so sorry.” She was looking at her hands all the while she spoke to me like a little child being scolded. “I have so much anger in me, that's why I try not to get angry, I say and do a lot of hurtful things when I get angry. I'm really sorry Emily,” she looked at me this time, I could see the apologetic look in her eyes. “You weren't wrong, although I was still hurt, but you were right.” I said. “Does this mean you've forgiven me?” She said, a little hopeful, her eyes still pleading. I nodded my head, “thank you.” She said and enveloped me in a tigh

Chapter: Brown I just stood by the door as the team filed into my room, with several buckets of paints, brushes and rollers. “You must be Emily right?” Someone spoke, causing me to turn around. I looked at the man before me, he was very built and tall, but not as tall as Marco or Cal. “We spoke earlier on the phone… senorita.” He said, offering me a smile. “You're Phil?” “You sound surprised by that,” “I wasn't expecting someone….” I trailed off, eyeing him from head to toe. “I beat your expectations?” He asked, stepping a little bit closer. “Are you usually this free to all your clients?” I asked, a bit uncomfortable with his flirting. “Only the ones I find attractive.” He gave me a wink. “Okay, you should stop, whatever it is you're doing.” I said half playful, half serious. He raised his hand in surrender, “sorry about that.” He bowed slightly. “The game's Philip, Phil for short.” “Emily, Emily Martini.” I shook him with the hand my ring was on. He looked at it, taken aback, but he quic

Chapter: Friends Fight “You won't believe what we found.” Jora said, beaming at Judi. They both raised up a half cut cake, Judi let out a scream, I had to cover my ears. “I knew I could trust you both when it comes to finding what will satisfy me.” “We didn't find it for you, we found it for ourselves.” Justina replied to her. “Doesn't matter anyway, we all have a soft spot for cakes.” Judi looked at the cake, salivating. “I don't know if you like cake that much, we also found this sour candy, just in case you don't like cake.” Jora handed me the sour candy. “I love both actually.” I took the candy from her. We settled on the ground and began eating the cake with the spoons they had brought. “It's so nice doing this again,” Judi mumbled through her cake filled mouth. “You don't expect us to be doing this every day Judi, we're not twelve anymore.” Justina replied to her, her full mother figure rising in the way she spoke. “I wasn't asking for us to do it every day, but you just disappeared, if I did

Chapter: JaxI left the police station that day feeling more confused than ever. The police had promised to keep an eye on Kaia. But that wasn't enough, even with the guards and drivers,someone was still able to hurt her. I entered the car and drove back to.the hospital, to stay with Kaia. I stayed in the hospital for the rest of the day, I was too tired to even stay awake to keep a good eye on Kaia, I kept slipping in and out of consciousness. The next day, I was woken up from sleep by the sound of my phone ringing. I opened my eyes, without checking who was calling, I answered the call “hello,” I said sleepy. “Mr Kendricks, please we need you to come to the station right now. Something urgent needs your attention. The sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes as I stood up from the couch and ran to the door. When I got to the police station, the air in the police station was thick. The tension hung heavy, making every breath feel like swallowing gravel. I sat in the small waiting room,

Chapter: Attempted Murder I placed my head in her palm "You have to wake up," I whispered. "Please. You have to."I didn’t sleep that night. The nurses came and went each time to check her vitals or adjust the drip. The machines beeped steadily. But I never moved from her side neither did I ever feel better. I stroked her fingers, “you have to be strong, Kaia,” I told her about the baby, about the press conference, about everythings that had happened within the last few months. "I love you, Kaia. I’ve loved you for a long time, I know I messed up. I know I made things worse when I thought I was protecting you. But I need you. I need you to come back."She didn’t respond, her eyelids didn’t flutter, fuck, her hand even didn’t move.But I stayed anyway, because I had no one else to blame but myself. And I knew she'd do the same if she were in my shoes, because Kaia is, she always puts others first. The nurse came in again. “Mr. Kendricks, it’s time you took a break, please. You’ve been here since yesterday,

Chapter: Car Accident I didn't pay much attention to what Tom said about Jax. The next day, I left the office earlier than usual for my prenatal appointment. I didn't go with a driver since the hospital was close to the office. The checkup went fine, normal heartbeat, normal measurements. The doctor told me everything was progressing well and that the baby was healthy. While coming out of the hospital I suddenly remembered Tom, and I suddenly felt very uneasy. I blamed it on yesterday.Seeing Tom again, hearing Jax’s name. Being reminded of that twisted obsession I thought I’d left behind.After the appointment, I decided to head straight home. I wanted to lie down, just rest. As I headed out, a nurse called out “Mrs Kendricks,” I turned around. “Would you like me to call you a driver?” I smiled at her. “No, Katherine, I'm good.”“Have a safe trip back home ma'am” she said and turned back towards the hospital's entrance. I needed the air, it somehow felt very comforting and cool. My thoughts had been

Chapter: Jax's obsession Throughout that day, Xander never left my side, he was always moaning sure I was feeling okay. The office was quieter than usual this morning. Everyone seemed focused, with their heads buried in their screens or walking briskly between departments. I had just returned from a board strategy session and was about to collapse into my chair when my assistant knocked and peeked through the door.“You have a visitor,” she said.I frowned. “Who?”“He didn’t give his name, but he said it’s urgent… and personal.”I rubbed my temples. I wasn’t in the mood for vague surprises. “Where is he?”“In the downstairs lobby. I can ask security to escort him out if you want—”“No,” I said, standing. “It’s fine, I’ll handle it.”I took the elevator down, expecting a client maybe, or one of the journalists who hadn’t gotten enough gossip last month. But the moment the elevator doors slid open, I was greeted with the familiar sight of Tom.He stood off to the side of the marble lobby floor, wearing jeans a

Chapter: I'm going to be a father When I got home, I didn't find Xander at home.Then a text popped up on my screen “Hey love, I went to the office, I'll be back soon.” I made a U turn and went outside, back to the car.“Take me to the office.” I told the driver. “Are you okay Ma'am?” The driver asked while turning on the car. “Yes I am, just a little bit tired.” I said placing my head on the window of the car. XANDER'S POV I was going through spread sheets in my office when I heard Kaia’s voice outside. She was talking to someone outside the door, I smiled and continued going through the spread sheets She walked into my office with a smile on her face, and god, that smile was my weakness. “Hey,” I said, setting my pen down. “You okay?”She didn’t answer right away, her fingers toyed with the hem of her blouse, and she avoided my eyes as she closed the door behind her.That was weird, what's going on? I sat up straighter. “Kaia?”She looked at me and gave me a small smile, “I went to the hospital,” she said.M

Chapter: You're pregnant I was lost in the sensation, in the way he filled me, in the way his hands held me steady as he took what he wanted. His mouth found my neck, his teeth grazing my skin as he whispered words that made me shiver with need. “You like this, don’t you?” he growled. “Being used like this. Being mine.”“Yes,” I gasped, my voice barely audible. “Yours.”The fear of being discovered only added to the intensity, each thrust more urgent, each touch more desperate. I could feel the tension building inside me, a coil tightening, ready to snap. “Xander,” I whimpered, my voice breaking. “I’m close.”“Me too,” he groaned, his pace quickening. “Cum for me, Kaia. Let go.”His words were all I needed. My body shook as I climaxed, my walls clenching around his cock, milking him, drawing out his own release. He followed moments later, his thrusts becoming faster, his grip on my hips bruising as he cummed inside me. For a moment, we stayed like that, his dick still buried in my ass hole.We were both brea
