Chapter: Intense DislikeJUDI’S POVThe smell of polished marble and fresh lilies filled the living room. It was too quiet for my liking. After months in the hospital, silence made me uneasy. At least in the ward, there was always someone talking, a nurse scolding, or a patient crying. Here, everything was just… perfect as if it was too perfect.I leaned back on the couch, staring at the sunlight pouring through the tall windows. My hand trembled slightly as I reached for the glass of water on the table. The doctors said the tremors would go away with time, but I hated how weak I looked.The door opened behind me. “You shouldn’t sit that way,” a deep voice said.I turned my head sharply, it was Jonathan. What was Marco's right hand man doing here? Now he was the last person I expected to see today. The need to say something back was too much to resist. “I didn’t ask for your opinion,” I snapped, straightening up anyway.He closed the door behind him, calm as ever, his expression unreadable. He was wearing

Chapter: I don't think I'm okayJUDI’S POVAfter Emily's visit, there was something that made me feel so much better, maybe it was because she had forgiven me or because despite everything, she still cared deeply. The hospital didn’t feel like a cage anymore, I was slowly learning to live here.At first, I hated everything, I didn't want to tell Emily that. I couldn't, I hated the smell of disinfectant, the constant beeping of machines, the white walls that looked too clean, too fake. I hated the way people looked at me too, like I was fragile glass that would break if they spoke too loud.But I guess healing isn’t supposed to be pretty.Every morning, I woke up before dawn. The nurses would make their rounds, and then the therapist would come in. At first, I barely spoke to her. I lied to Emily when I said it was going okay. The therapist would ask questions, and I’d shrug or give one-word answers. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk, I just didn’t know how to explain the mess in my head.Guilt, shame, fear, reg

Chapter: A stalker? EMILY’S POVI woke up feeling much lighter than I had in weeks.“Good morning sweet.” Marco murmured against my hair. “I have a meeting to attend to in town,” he placed a kiss on my lips. I groaned, “come on, I haven't brushed yet.” “I don't mind, you still taste so good.” he smirked, causing me to hide my face in my hands. The weather was calm when I finally got up from the bed, the kind that made everything look peaceful even if it wasn’t. I sat in the back of the car, staring out the window as the city rolled by. My thoughts were all over the place, but one thing stayed constant, Judi.It was just yesterday she left, but somehow, I felt the need to go check on her. Since she went back to the hospital for therapy, I hadn't exactly heard anything from her. And j knew she'd need all the support she can get. needed to know she was really okay, she said that she'll be string, but it wasn't that easy. The receptionist directed me to the garden after I told her who I was looking for

Chapter: His thrustsI broke the kiss and sat down beside him on the couch. "You won’t believe what happened at the café today—" I began, my words tumbling over each other. But before I could finish my sentence, Marco’s deep voice cut through my chatter, his tone low and husky."Hold on," he said, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that made my breath catch. He was lounging on the couch, his long legs stretched out, but as he spoke, he sat up, his gaze darkening with a hunger that sent a shiver down my spine. I paused, my heart skipping a beat as he rose to his feet, closing the distance between us in two swift strides."Marco, what—?" I started, but my question was swallowed by his lips crashing against mine. “Why do you tease me, Wife?” He mumbled against my mouth. I wanted to break the kiss and tell him to explain what he meant. But he pulled me closer to him, taking my open mouth as an invitation in. Marco's kiss was fierce and demanding, my hands instinctively tangled in his hair. His t

Chapter: Feeling Normal again EMILY’S POVIt had been three weeks since the night Jax had drugged and kidnapped me.These three weeks had been of silence and healing. I learnt to put what had happened and the trauma attached to everything behind me. It was getting easier to breathe without feeling like someone was watching me.Everything slowly started to fall back into place. The house was repaired, Marco had taken out more than half the usual amount of guards, what he did to them. I had no idea. Those left weren’t standing at every corner anymore, and Marco… well, he was much calmer. The tension that used to follow him around like a dark cloud had started to fade. He still worked late, still had that edge in his voice when he spoke to his men, but when he looked at me, I could see something softer.He didn’t talk much about that night, and neither did I. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I’d feel him reach for me, his hand sliding over my waist just to make sure I was still there. And for me, that was more t

Chapter: Once and for all!The whole station smelled like a mixture of sweat and coffee. I was here just a few nights ago, but it didn't feel like this. I didn't have as much rage in me then. My body felt slightly hot as the rage boiled under my skin.Lucas sat across from me, his hands were cuffed to the table. His face was pale, bruised from his earlier arrest, but his mouth was still as smug as ever. I wanted to wipe that look off him with my fist, but I held myself back. If I did that, I won't achieve what I wanted this afternoon. “You’re telling me,” I said, leaning forward, “you had nothing to do with the explosion outside the church today?”Lucas lifted his eyes lazily. “I told you already, Marco. I’ve been locked up since you brought me in. How the hell could I blow up your car from a jail cell? And moreover, you know I'd never endanger Emily knowingly.”His voice was calm, “hmmmm, but you've done that several times.” “No, that wasn't me… it was you that endangered her! I didn't do anything and I most

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
