Chapter: CHAPTER 57I was a nervous mess.The mirror reflected a version of me I barely recognized. White silk flowed over my frame like water, hugging me in places that reminded me I was alive, that I had survived long enough to get here. For a long moment, I just stared at the woman looking back at me, as though she were someone else entirely — someone stronger, freer, softer than the girl who once scrubbed her hands raw trying to forget she came from nothing.“Stop fidgeting with it, you’ll wrinkle the fabric.”My mother’s voice carried across the small bridal suite. It was steadier than I expected, but when I turned to her, I caught the gleam of tears already brimming in her eyes. She looked radiant herself, her hair pulled back neatly, her beautiful dress a pale blue that made her appear ten years younger.“I can’t believe this is happening,” she whispered, her hands covering her mouth. “My daughter. My little girl.”I laughed lightly, but it cracked at the edges. “I’m not little anymore, Mom.”Her

Chapter: CHAPTER 56I hadn’t planned on visiting Mason.If I was honest, I didn’t think I ever wanted to see him again.But Dean had asked me gently, late one night as we sat together on the balcony of his penthouse, the city lights winking beneath us. He hadn’t pushed. He just said softly, “He’s trying, Babe. And maybe… maybe hearing from you would help him finish what he’s started.”So here I was, standing in front of the wide oak doors of the private rehabilitation center tucked deep in the countryside. It looked less like a clinic and more like an old estate converted into something new with its sprawling gardens, high windows, and air so clean it felt almost wrong to breathe it after years in the city.The receptionist had recognized me immediately, her brows twitching in surprise before smoothing into a professional smile. “Mr. Caldwell will be very glad to see you.”I doubted that. Mason had never been glad to see me. He had only wanted to own me, to parade me like a prize. That was never love.Bu

Chapter: CHAPTER 55LANIThe laughter was still spilling out of me by the time Dean tugged me down the cobblestoned street, his hand warm and steady wrapped around mine. The narrow alley opened into a wide square where the faint smell of roasted chestnuts and cinnamon sugar drifted on the cool air. Tourists were gathered near little shops, cameras flashing, while locals sat outside cafés, sipping espresso as if time itself slowed for them.We’d been wandering all morning, ducking in and out of antique shops and tiny boutiques, pretending we were just another couple on vacation. It was almost too easy to forget everything we’d left behind— Caldwell Holdings, the trial, the chaos of the last few years. For once, I wasn’t looking over my shoulder or preparing for another battle.Dean squeezed my hand, drawing me back to him. “You’re quiet,” he said softly, his voice carrying that mix of warmth and curiosity that always disarmed me.“I’m not quiet,” I said, though my tone was more thoughtful than playful. “I

Chapter: CHAPTER 54The conference room was suffocating.Not because of the size—Caldwell Holdings had spared no expense when it came to intimidating spaces. The long mahogany table gleamed under recessed lights, leather chairs lined both sides, and the wall of glass overlooked the city I had spent my entire life trying to conquer. But right now, it wasn’t grandeur I felt. It was decay.The air reeked of fear.One by one, the board members shuffled papers, avoided eye contact, and cleared their throats like cowards preparing to abandon ship. And that ship… was mine.“I think we need to be realistic, Dean,” said Harris, one of our oldest board members. His voice cracked, and his eyes darted nervously around the table. “The fallout from the trial has… well, it’s gutted us. Public trust is gone. Investors are gone. We can’t sustain this.”I leaned back in my chair, jaw tight. “We’ve weathered storms before. We survived recessions, bad press, and all sorts of other things. This company doesn’t get to crumble

Chapter: CHAPTER 53DEANIt was 2am when the phone rang. Everyone knows such an hour was too quiet for good news.I almost didn’t answer. I’d been pacing the penthouse, restless, flipping through documents for the case, but not reading them. Lani had fallen asleep on the couch, her head bent against a pillow, her breathing soft and steady. For one foolish second, I considered letting the call go to voicemail.But something in my chest twisted, and I picked it up.“Mr. Caldwell?” The voice on the other end was firm, clinical. A doctor. “It’s your father. I think you should come. Now.”The room swayed around me. I didn’t realize my hand was trembling until the phone nearly slipped from it.“I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”___I don’t remember the drive to the hospital. I only remember the sterile light of the hospital corridor as I rushed down it, my shoes loud against the tiles. I remember the smell of disinfectant and metal, and the weight in my chest that grew heavier with each step.When I entered th

Chapter: CHAPTER 52Dean poured two fingers of whiskey into his glass, then pushed the decanter away as though the very act of touching it repulsed him. His shoulders were stiff, his jaw locked, and though the city stretched glittering beyond the penthouse windows, his eyes were fixed on nothing.I curled my legs under me on the sofa, nursing a mug of tea that had long since gone cold. The silence between us was brittle and fragile, the kind that felt like if either of us spoke too suddenly, it would shatter.Finally, Dean exhaled, a heavy sound. “He’s not stopping.”I looked up, my chest tightening. “What did you hear this time?” I didn’t have to ask, I knew he was talking about Mason.His mouth pressed into a thin line. He didn’t look at me when he answered. “Last week it was a fight in some nightclub. Yesterday it was an arrest outside a strip of bars in Midtown. Today…” He rubbed his temple with his thumb, frustration edging his voice. “Today, apparently, he totaled one of the cars.”“Mason?” My voic

Chapter: TROUBLE“Oh my, that’s… some really wild thoughts, Emilia.”“I know. But I would never do that to Jax. I love him too much to hurt him that way, even if he’s hurting me.”“If I had a baby.” Emilia wiped an angry tear that had managed to fall free. “I wonder if he’d abandoned his child and I in this house when he goes out to fuck and frolick with other women. I wonder if he’ll keep on lying through his fucking teeth about working late nights at the studio.”Delilah wanted to smile. So far her revenge plan was working. Emilia was feeling the same pain she felt back when everything happened. All she had to do was to keep fucking with Emilia’s mind till she was reduced to total insanity, and crawl back home to her mother. Only then would Delilah begin dealing with Gena Langford, Emilia’s mother.She pursed her lips into a straight smile to hold her smile “You accuse Jax way too much. How do you know he’s not working Emilia?” She asked instead. “Because I know! I’m never wrong.”“You might be wr

Chapter: THOUGHTS OF CHEATINGThe Romano estate party was in full swing around her. Opulent chandeliers hung from high ceilings, casting golden light over everything. Guests in expensive dresses and suits laughed loudly, clinked glasses, and bodies swayed closely on the dance floor to the heavy beat of music, oblivious to the storm brewing beneath the surface. The air smelled of expensive perfume, champagne, and sweat from dancing couples grinding against each other. Delilah pushed through the crowd, her tight dress clinging to her curves, hips brushing against strangers as she moved. Her skin felt electric from the chaos. She asked everyone she could— but no one had seen Silver recently. One tipsy woman in a red gown giggled and said he stepped out to the terrace for a cigar maybe twenty minutes ago. A tall guy with a drink in hand mentioned seeing him head toward the east wing earlier, but he was gone now. Silver had vanished into the night, probably to do something mischievous. Delilah felt on edge, h

Chapter: SHE KNOWSDelilah slapped the book shut with a sharp snap and rushed out of the library lounge, her heels clicking fast against the polished marble floor. “Oh no, no, no.” She whispered endlessly. Her heart pounded hard in her chest, like it wanted to break free. The air in the hallway felt cooler after the stuffy library room, but her skin was still flushed with worry. She bumped straight into Jax, her body colliding with his solid chest. It was like he had been waiting there in the shadows just for her, his tall frame leaning against the wall.“Hey, I’ve been looking for you,” he said, his voice dropping low and husky.“Hi, Jax,” she replied, trying to catch her breath.Jax didn’t step back. Instead, he moved closer, pressing his body lightly against hers. His hand brushed her waist, sending a spark through her dress. He leaned in, his warm breath tickling her neck, lips almost touching her ear. “I’ve been staring at you all night. That dress hugs you in all the right places. Come with me…

Chapter: VIVID SCENES, EXPOSED SECRETS, MILLIONS OF EUROSHer own memories came flooding back; the scrape of the razor gliding, the cool air on her freshly shaved skin, the brush strokes on her clit, the way Silver had made her cum just from the anticipation. She could still feel the vulnerability of being completely bare for him.*I buried my face between her thighs and sucked her pussy, tasting her cum mixed with the sweet paint, tongue-fucking her until she gushed again. Then I slammed my thick, veined cock into her tight hole, the cock ring tight around my heavy balls which were slapping her ass with every brutal thrust. I fucked her like I owned her—deep, punishing strokes that made her tits bounce and her eyes roll back. It was hot as hell…… that night I decided Ivy was mine to ruin forever.*Delilah’s panties were soaked. Her clit throbbed painfully against the lace as she remembered Silver pounding her exactly like that, the way he’d fucked her so deep she saw stars, then claiming her body until she couldn’t walk straight.

Chapter: DELILAH’S PRE-WEDDING GIFT“Welcome, welcome. Oh Delilah, you look so lovely.”Delilah stood there in her skin-tight red gown that clung to her full, heavy tits. The gown was flared out just enough to show off the dangerous slit running all the way up her thigh. The fabric was so thin it barely hid the hard points of her nipples pressing against it. Her diamond choker collar Silver had chosen sparkled so bright, marking her as a claimed woman, but the hungry way men’s eyes devoured her said otherwise.“So do you, Emilia.” Delilah’s voice was sweet like honey, but her eyes flicked over the other woman with a predatory gaze.Emilia’s smile was polished, her emerald dress shimmering as she leaned into her husband. But there was something sharper behind her eyes tonight.“Why did you invite us to this… thing?” Silver grumbled from behind Delilah, high as fuck, his big body pressed flush against her back. One of his large hands gripped her waist possessively, while the other boldly palmed her ass cheek through the

Chapter: EMILIA’S GAMEOne golden afternoon, an elegant cream envelope arrived at the Silver’s estate. But before the envelope arrived, Delilah’s mind was elsewhere, deep in thoughts. She hadn’t breathed a word to Silver about Armani’s threats. And the memory gnawed at her constantly. Now, as she lounged by the sparkling infinity pool, the massive diamond on her finger caught the sunlight, throwing rainbows rays across her skin. She turned it slowly, lost in thought.What if Armani tells someone else? How the hell did he know about the affair? Jax and Silver would never betray her… so who else knew? She couldn’t risk telling them. One word from her about the blackmail and Armani would disappear forever—Silver and Jax had both the money and the power to make it happen quickly. For the first time in months, Delilah felt trapped by her own web. The same seduction that had drawn the brothers to her now felt like a noose tightening around her throat. Her plan was coming back to slap her in the face when s
