Chapter: 198Lira's POVI came here because the moon goddess told me that I need to understand the full extent of my power, I said firmly, my voice trembling slightly, but carrying the weight of my resolve. I didn’t know what the figure before me would do, or what role they had in all of this, but I knew that I had not arrived here by accident. Every step I had taken, every loss I had endured, had led me to this very moment. I need to save my people. I need to save everyone. That’s what I had constantly heard echoing in my mind, but the how of it had always been shrouded in uncertainty. I had tried before, I had worked so hard, and yet, I had lost so much along the way.Tears began rolling down my cheeks as I spoke, the pain of my journey pressing heavily against my chest. If you can feel it, my legs have been damaged, I said, my voice breaking. Divine has taken away my ability to walk. She has taken my strength, my freedom, and so much more than just my physical mobility. I don’t understand why D

Chapter: 194Alia's POV The moment my father spoke, the words about Divine controlling him, he immediately went unconscious again. My heart skipped, and fear gripped me so tightly it felt like my chest was going to explode. Why was she trying to take him? Why was she trying to control his body? The questions spun in my mind faster than I could think.“You, you!” I stammered, pointing at two of my father’s men. “Get the machines. Make sure his heart keeps beating. Make sure nothing comes between his heart and those machines. If anything happens, I will be really, really pissed at you!”I was speaking so fast I barely understood my own words. Impulsively, I barked orders and tried to push back the panic rising in me. I had no one to guide me. Lyra wasn’t here. No one was around to tell me that it would be okay, that I could handle this, that my father could be saved. My support system was gone, and I felt completely alone.I stepped out of the chamber and began pacing back and forth. To and fro, to

Chapter: 193Lira's POV Are you certain of what you saw? Damian asked, his voice calm but probing. Yes, I’m sure. I saw it clearly, I said, my voice low and steady, though my mind still swirled with confusion. But I don’t know why it is the first thing that your master is trying to show me. I lifted my head slowly towards Carlos, searching for some explanation in his eyes. Neither do I, he admitted, his brow furrowed slightly. But if my master is trying to show you that, it means that it is significant. It is significant in understanding exactly what she wants you to do, or what you’re going to achieve through her. I suggest you continue to try to reach forward. At least now you’re getting answers to your questions, just like I told you. He gave me a small, encouraging smile. I turned my head towards Damian, my eyes meeting his. I want to go in again, I said, my voice firm despite the ache in my body, irrespective of the pain. She is giving me a reason to continue reaching, to go further. A

Chapter: 192Lira's POV As I placed my hand on the skeleton of Carlos's master, a sharp, immediate pain shot through my legs and hands. It was intense, a burning, twisting sensation that made me want to pull away immediately. At one point, I couldn’t feel my hands at all. My legs felt like they didn’t belong to me, and it was almost impossible to stay connected. But I forced myself to push a little further. I tried to drift, like I always would during a spiritual connection, but it wasn’t working. The pain grew unbearable. I yanked my hand away and pressed both hands against my chest, trying to steady my racing heart. “What’s wrong?” Damien asked, kneeling beside me, concern etched into his face. “I can’t,” I gasped. “It’s too painful. I’m… I’m feeling a lot of pain.” Carlos’ voice broke through the tension, calm and almost dismissive. “Oh, well, that’s just how it feels at the beginning.” Damien’s head shot up, and he gave Carlos an angry, hard look. “You didn’t explain any of this to us! I

Chapter: 191Lira's POV My mind was still spinning as I tried to process exactly what Carlos was telling us. It didn’t make immediate sense. He was saying that we had to connect with his master spiritually before we actually met her. That felt strange. Normally, spiritual connections were more... direct, at least the way I had done them before. But Carlos seemed certain, and there was no arguing with the way he spoke. “So are you saying that we—” I paused, trying to choose my words carefully, “as opposed to seeing her first, need to connect with your master spiritually?” I asked. “Yes, exactly,” Carlos replied, calm and certain. “She is ancient. I wouldn’t even call her our ‘ancient sorceress.’ She is the one who has kept this place alive for centuries. She is the one who has worked for a long time to create a peaceful place such as this. And it is very important that you meet her because she must explain everything herself. Nothing will make sense if you only hear about it secondhand.” I

Chapter: 190Divine's POV No, no! I screamed. Everything was falling apart. The perfectly crafted plan that I had spent so long preparing, every detail calculated, every contingency accounted for—it wasn’t working. Nothing was working. I could not reach Lord Marco. Every attempt I made to slide into his mind, to push my way past his defenses, was met with resistance. He was fighting me, hard. The more I tried, the more I felt my control slipping. I knew the moment I gained control over his body, everything else would follow. I could get closer to Aaliyah, finally reach into her mind, take hold of her essence, and only then would I have the path open to Lyra’s body. But that pathway was crumbling right before me. My years of preparation, my accumulation of dark power, it all seemed to unravel in an instant. The dark magic I had always relied on, the force that had allowed me to bend wills and claim bodies, was backfiring. Instead of giving me strength, it tore at me, draining me, showing me the

Till Daddy do us part
My husband slept with my best friend, then hit me with divorce papers all within a day. So I ended up in bed with his father–didn't realise it at first, but now his dad's handed me a contract: be his consort and I get my revenge. Who am I to turn down fate?
Dahlia Dalmante has spent five years fading into the background of her own marriage–always loyal, always silent, hiding the filthy fantasies she only ever had about her husband.
None of them mattered. By the time she discovers him in bed with her best friend, she realises she was never more than a place holder to a man that never wanted her.
That night, Dahlia ends up in a dark bar and lets herself do the one thing she swore she never would: leave with a stranger. But the night doesn't end in regret. The stranger–commanding and older–pushes her to the edge, and she lets go of everything she thought she knew about her body.
By sunrise, everything is different. Her one wild night? Turns out he's Dominic Dalmante–her husband's father. The real power behind the Dalmante empire.
When Dominic steps in to save her from ruin, Dahlia finds herself locked in a game of raw heat and high stakes: he'll give her revenge, power, protection–if she gives herself to him, body and soul.
The deeper she tumbles into Dominic's world of contracts, secrets, and dangerous demands, the more Dahlia learns just how far desire can twist.
And when the past explodes and blood-stained secrets threaten everything, does she really want to pull apart all the ugly secrets piling up around her, or just get lost in the kind of wild pleasure her marriage always kept out of reach?

Chapter: I am an executiveDahlia's POV “Excuse me?” I asked, fixing my gaze on her.“What’s that in your hand?” she repeated.I slipped the paper into my bag. “I’m surprised you even have the guts to ask me anything after what you’ve done.”“Look, Dahlia,” she began.“Don’t say anything,” I cut in sharply. My voice carried, and I noticed the security men glance in our direction.“I’ve had no one,” I said, forcing the tears back. “You knew this. My parents are dead, and you were the only person I trusted. I told you everything. Even if you knew Matthew didn’t truly love me, why didn’t you just tell me?” I asked, struggling to keep my face steady.She stepped closer. “Between the two of us, I should be the one asking that question. How didn’t you notice? We went to the same school. We studied the same course, and you still didn’t see it,” she said, a small smile forming. “I hated you so much. You were forcing yourself on him. And what was I expecting from a woman who had never experienced love?”I stood there,

Chapter: The first warningDahlia's POVI wondered what fueled Matthew's confidence. He didn't answer my question. He just stood there, tapping one foot to the ground. I wasn't going to speak either. He was in my office, invading my work space. After a few seconds, Matthew stepped closer. I leaned back and my secretary who had been standing beside him took a step forward. “Do you want to lose your job?” Matthew asked, turning his gaze to her.She hesitated for a moment before stepping back.“It's fine Anna. You can go now. I can handle this myself,” I said, waving a hand for her to leave. She nodded and walked out, shutting the door behind her.“Oh, so now you’re done having a lovely time with Aaliyah, and suddenly I’m important to you?” I said. My eyes were wide, and I clenched my fists, trying to hold back my anger.“It seems this new role you took on is starting to get to your head,” Matthew said. “You think you’re all that because you’re now one of the executives. Don’t get too comfortable. Things aren

Chapter: Are you jealous?Dahlia's POV“What?” I said, standing up immediately to face the security man.“The young man from earlier who was screaming, used a plank to damage one of the cars. He broke some of the glass, and we take full responsibility,” the security man said.Before he could finish, Dominic intervened. “This is what we hire you for? So you’re telling me the young man, the boy, wrecked the car and all of you just stood there and watched?”The security man shook his head. “No, sir, that was not the case. We escorted him out of the building and didn’t realise he went down to the parking lot where the cars are and… he wrecked the cars. We take full responsibility for it.”Matthew wanted to intervene, but Dominic waved his hand. “Calm down, everybody. We are currently in a meeting. We will sort out this issue later.”The security man nodded.“And one more thing,” Dominic said, his voice sharp. “You’re fired. You need to get your things and leave.”After the security man walked away, Dominic raised

Chapter: Smells like secretsDahlia's POV“Let me go. I need to speak to him,” a voice shouted.It was the loudest voice in the corridor. I moved closer and finally saw what was happening. A young man was being restrained by security. He was not well-dressed and appeared to be an average college student. His clothes were worn, his face tense, and he was clearly struggling to get to the top floor.I stepped back into my office and looked through the glass demarcation into Dom’s office.He was calm. Seated comfortably. On the phone. Whatever was happening in the corridor did not seem to concern him at all.I stepped out again and moved a little closer.That was when I heard the voice speak again.“Just come out of your office and address me,” the young man said. “I know you did this. I know you’re the only one who had a reason to kill Uncle Henry.”I froze.“Henry?” I whispered.My mind spun. Henry. The same man who had sent in that last vote. The man whose decision had changed everything for me. The man Dominic ha

Chapter: Temptations everywhereDahlia's POVI moved away from the wall and continued brushing my mouth.I got fully dressed for work, never late to Dalmante Corporation. I wore a blue thick top with tight-fitted office trousers and slung my bag over my shoulder. As I stepped out the door, Dominic came out at the same time, turning his key to lock his room. I found it odd that he chose the room right next to mine. He could have stayed anywhere in the mansion.I tried to ignore him, debating whether to greet him or just walk past, but just as the last clink of his keys echoed, he grabbed me by the waist, pulling me closer.“Sir…” I said instinctively.“I heard you last night,” he said. “Instead of eavesdropping on me and trying to guess my next move, why don’t you just sign the contract and make things easier for both of us?”He leaned in closer, his eyes locking onto mine, then let go, straightening his suit. “I’ll see you at the office,” he added and walked away.I stood frozen, my stomach twisting. He had heard me

Chapter: Secrets and suitsDahlia's POVIt was probably one of the cleaners. I thought. But the knock on the door didn't sound very friendly. I stepped into the room. “Who's there,” I asked, walking closer.“It's Alberto,” a voice said outside the door. “Dinner has been served.”“By who?” I asked. I was the one who usually prepared breakfast every morning on Matthew's orders. “Mr Dalmante’s personal chefs arrived earlier. They handled the cooking,” Alberto said. “It's okay. I would like to have my dinner in my room please,” I said firmly.“I'll have that arranged for you then,” he said walking away.I took a deep breath, walking into the shower. I washed up quickly and opened my door to collect my dinner for the night. It was one of the best things I had ever tasted. Dom had spent only one day in the mansion and he was already making things easier for me. I ate my food quickly and dove back into the work I couldn't finish at the office. One of the important things I discovered was something odd.I had not
