Chapter: The Shocking Twin Chapter 74 India's POV The breeze off the ocean hit my face with a crisp bite, whipping my hair around my shoulders.The cool air surrounding me was way too cool for the turmoil going on inside of me.My heart was still hammering, and yet, I squared my shoulders, lifted my chin, and reminded myself: this was no time for weakness.This was the say whatever the fuck your sick ass has to say and get the flying fuck away from here time Though I knew I could never say that straight to her in the face.Monica turned toward me, her expression soft, sympathetic, almost… gentle.I braced. Put on my big girl britches. This wasn’t a moment for sentiment. This was a moment for truth. The raw, jagged, “say whatever the fuck you have to say and get the hell out” truth.My jaw tightened. My palms pressed against the smooth railing of the deck, and I forced my voice to steady itself before it shook.“Two minutes,” I said, voice stern,

Chapter: When The Plan Is Working Chapter 73 Roman's POV She isn’t moving.Not a breath, not a step.India stands there like marble carved out of shock, the glimmering dress that had once caught my eye now looks like a cage she can’t breathe in. Her fingers twitch against her side, and I can feel the tremor ripple through her spine beneath my hand.The sight of her seeing her again, Monica was exactly as I’d anticipated.Still, the reaction…it guts me a little more than I planned.Her body goes rigid in my hold, and for a second, I consider softening my grip, but I don’t. She needs an anchor, not a lifeline.I lower my mouth to her ear, my voice steady, deliberate.“Will you face your fears, or keep running from them?”I can feel her heartbeat slam against her ribs through the satin. She’s not breathing right, shallow, uneven. Her gaze is locked forward, unblinking.And I know she’s seeing everything she buried.All the lies. All the pain. All the almost

Chapter: Not Ready Chapter 72 India's POV The dress fits like it was poured over my skin, shiny, sculpted, scandalously perfect but it feels like armor instead of beauty. I feel….empty.The reflection staring back from the mirror looks like a queen prepared for a banquet of kings, but the woman underneath is trembling.I may have been bold earlier with Roman but all I was trying to do was mask my fears.I smooth the satin fabric over my thighs, the material catching the light like molten gold. The parcel Roman gave me contained a dress and a short command: “Wear This”Wear this for what?For who?And why just me?Nothing makes sense right now.He didn’t even invite Ethan. If this was supposed to be some strategy meeting about Mikhail, shouldn’t Ethan be here too?He's supposed to be among the plan but…things just look so disoriented.Unless... this isn’t about Mikhail at all.I stare at my reflection again, heart thudding unevenly. “What are you

Chapter: Let's See Chapter 71 Roman's POV She thinks she’s in control. That’s the first mistake. India Seethal’s every step is deliberate, sarcastic, teasing, and somehow, somehow, she doesn’t even know the effect she has on me. Not fully. Not yet. I watch her as she moves across the deck, sandals clicking softly against the polished teak, the wind lifting strands of her hair around her face. My fingers itch to straighten one, to brush it behind her ear, to see if she’d notice. She would. She always does. And I don’t know if I want her to. “Try to keep up,” I say smoothly, not looking at her. My eyes scan the horizon. The Bahamas sun glints off the water, but my focus is only on the woman who has made my meticulously ordered world feel… chaotic. “I’d walk faster if you’d stop touching me like I’m going to faint,” she snaps without turning. I smirk. “You almost did. A few hours ago when you got out of the jet.” Her breath catches. I hear it. I can feel it. She can’t hide anything

Chapter: Touring His Fortress Chapter 70 India's POV I used to think nothing could surprise me anymore.Not after the cliffs.Not after the private jet.Not after the way Roman looks at me—as if he’s memorizing my pulse without ever touching me.Not after Ethan's motives for return.But this?This is new.Roman Alkali, the same man who can shut down grown men with a single cold stare, is standing here on the deck of a hyper-yacht, completely speechless… because a five-year-old asked him a simple question.I blink once. Twice.And I watch Roman’s throat move as he tries but fails to form a sentence.Guillermo waits patiently, small hands clutching dripping seashells, eyes glittering like he’s just found pirate treasure.“What’s she?” he asks again, head tilting.There’s a split second where Roman looks… lost.I never thought I’d see the day.I step in, because tension has teeth, and it’s about to bite.I'm not going to keep quiet and make this silence mo

Chapter: Label Us Chapter 69 Roman's POV India stands there like a living contradiction, sharp tongue, soft eyes, spine straight like she’s preparing for combat, and a dress that looks like sin tailored itself around her curves. The sheer fabric clings to her, intentional or not, and her cleavage peeks just enough to ruin what’s left of my composure. It’s maddening how she can be both unaware and devastatingly aware of the effect she has on me.My gaze drags up, slow, deliberate, because I can’t help myself. When she arrived, her eyes widened at the sight of the hyper-yacht, then narrowed at me like she was preparing a cross-examination. And now…now she’s pretending that she’s not terrified, when I can feel the pulse of her fear from where I stand. Fear… that delicate underlying panic she’s trying so damn hard to mask behind sarcasm and annoyance.She’s good at acting normal. But I grew up in a room where acting normal was how you stayed al
