MY EX-BOYFRIEND WANTS ME BACK
I never thought one broken promise could shatter my world twice.
His name was Marcus. He swore he’d stay in touch when he left for that “year-long business trip.” Three months later, silence. No calls, no texts, nothing. On my birthday, drunk and done with heartbreak, I went home with a stranger. One reckless night. I slipped out before dawn, leaving a fake name. No more men. No more drama.
Then the perfect job fell into my lap: personal assistant to Victoria Langford, a young, filthy-rich heiress. Live-in position, great pay, exactly what my sick little sister and I needed. I moved in, ready for a fresh start.
Until I walked into her mansion and saw him. Marcus. In her arms. My fiancé was her boyfriend.
Rage burned through me, but I swallowed it. I needed this job. He begged forgiveness, fed me lies about a big contract, how he never stopped loving me. Weak, stupid, lonely. I fell back into him. Secret touches, stolen nights, right under her nose.
Then everything exploded. I came home to blood and sirens. Marcus swore he didn’t know what happened. But when the police started digging, he pointed the finger at me. How do I escape this? Who's the father of the child growing inside of me?

Chapter: CHAPTER 096: SAMANTHA’S POVI stood on Lucy’s porch, finally ready to go, the morning sun warm on my back. Lucy held my hands, like she had known me for long, or maybe an old time friend. Such a sweet woman! Being with her for just a short time left me wondering what men really wanted. That woman was human, kind in all way, fun and lively. At some point I had wanted to ask what went wrong in her marriage. But I had restrained, I had only known her for two nights.The cab waited at the curb, engine humming softly, the driver tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. Lucy pulled me into one last hug, her arms wrapping around me tightly, the kind of hug that felt like home. I held on a little longer than I should have, my cheek pressed against her shoulder. I wished I had more than just a warm hug to offer her, but I was sure not to forget her in a hurry. She had been more than a friend these past two days. She had been family when I had none close by, giving me a roof when my mind was too scattered to even t

Chapter: CHAPTER 095: AUTHOR’S POVMr. Richard paced the living room, his leather shoes clicking sharply against the floor with every step. He dragged on his tie, loosening it a bit.The sound of his fingers snapping in anger echoed off the high ceilings and bounced back at him like an accusation. His eyebrows were drawn tight, deep lines carved between them. He lifted the phone to his ear again, for the umpteenth time in a minute, his thumb pressing hard on the redial button. The screen lit up his face in the dim evening light.The line rang once, and then twice before Alex picked up.Mr. Richard’s voice exploded through the speaker, raw and loud. Not holding back any ounce of the emotion surging through him. “What the hell is going on, Detective Thorne? First, you can’t find my daughter. Then you have nothing on Elma. And now Samantha is missing too? How many more people do I have to lose before you do your damn job?” He blurted into the gadget in his hand, lips trembling.He stopped pacing near the minibar. His fr

Chapter: CHAPTER 094: SAMANTHA’S POVI hung the picture back in its place. Then moved slowly through the house. Pushed the door to the kitchen, old wooden table still stood in the center, chairs pushed in neatly. I ran my hand over the surface. Dust came away on my fingers. I wiped it on the dress Lucy had given me.Then I took the narrow wooden stairs up to the second floor. Each step creaked under my weight, the sound brought back memories of sneaking down at night for water when I couldn’t sleep.My old room was first. The door stuck a little when I pushed it open. Inside, the small bed was still made, covers faded from years of sun. On the wall near the window were the inscriptions I had scratched there as a teenager, my name, Mia’s name, silly hearts and stars. A small laugh, half cry, escaped my throat.A few of my old clothes still hung in the wardrobe. I opened it. The fabric smelled musty. My hands came away covered in fine gray dust when I touched the hangers. I closed the door again.Then I walked to what used

Chapter: CHAPTER 093: SAMANTHA’S POVI stood on the cracked sidewalk in front of the old house, the place where I grew up. The afternoon sun beat down on the faded blue paint, making the wooden porch look even more tired than I remembered. The yard was overgrown with weeds that brushed against my ankles. My heart felt heavy in my chest as I stared at the rusted padlock on the front door.Lucy had helped call a couple of men from the street. They worked with hammers and crowbars, metal clanging against metal. Each strike sent dust and small rust flakes flying into the air. I watched them, arms wrapped around myself above my protruding stomach, the breeze tugging at my hair. I exhaled a couple of times heavily while fighting the memories flooding my mind.lQuiet dinners at the small wooden table inside. Mom dishing out rice and vegetables, three-year-old Mia giggling at something silly I said. Dad’s chair empty after he passed, but Mom still setting a place for him out of habit. The way the three of us would sit togethe

Chapter: CHAPTER 092: ALEX’S POVThe sky moved from bright and sunny to cloudy. Two police vans stood right where I parked my car. Distant enough not to create awareness.While Detective Bradford and I kept watch at the house, four other officers combed the community, the farmlands, and the surrounding bushes. And Sara? If I hadn't known she was just Lena's friend, I would have taken her to be her sister. This kind of friendship was rare, often not seen amongst sisters too.Each time I looked at her in that pitiful manner, her lips parted with that subtle assurance. She was too sure Lena would come out safely. According to her, Lena can be emotional but never weak. She was now concerned about capturing Marcus. She positioned herself right behind a farmhouse toward the major entrance of the street, distinct enough to be seen easily, yet clear enough to capture any vehicle making its way into the vicinity. I had lost count of how many hours we spent waiting, maybe five or six or more. I stood there, sandwiched betwe

Chapter: CHAPTER 091: SAMANTHA’S POVThe little energy I had left was leaving me, but not just that, I feared the neighbors might think there was a burglar around. With the way I was hitting hard against the padlock, it was easy for them to do anything, maybe call the police on me. But I do not have any other choice. I would have to sleep out in the cold if I failed to open this door. The door I was struggling to open looked like an entrance to a haunted house. I was sure that every part of the floor would be covered in thick dust as well as the walls and every other thing in there. But there was no other place I could go to at this time, I had miraculously escaped from Marcus and his accomplice, with nothing left on me. There was basically nothing I could do with a dead phone, an empty purse, and a jar of pepper spray, especially not with the way I looked. No hotel would accommodate, that was if I had a means of payment. I swallowed hard. I was as thirsty as the dry land in summer. I knew I could get nothing to eat

MY STEP BROTHER, MY RUIN
My breath caught in my throat as Roman’s finger grazed my chin, “I want you,” he whispers, “All of you,”
I watched as his eyes flickered to my lips and back up to meet my gaze, “You are my brother Ronan,” I swallowed.
“Stepbrother,” he drew closer, this time his breath was hot on my face.
“This is wrong,” I managed to say, struggling to hide how obsessed I had become with his touch.
His lips drew to mine, “Stop me if you don't want this, and I'll leave you alone,” he said and his lips pinned mine between his, sucking aggressively like he had been hungry for this.
I didn't pull away, I didn't care, “Oh…,” I mumbled against his lips as I wrapped my arms around my stepbrother's neck.

Chapter: CHAPTER 037: EX AND SECRETSRONAN;I saw the look on June’s face the moment Natalie appeared. The disdainful way her eyes moved from me to Natalie and back to me. The disappointment and quiet hurt settled deep in her hazel eyes. It hit me harder than any punch ever could. I never wanted this day to come when I would come face to face with the past I loathe so much, the mistake that had always gnawed at my heart.Facing the stupid mistake I’d been trying so hard to bury. One drunken night, in the hotel room, and now it was standing right here in front of us, chewing bubble gum and smiling like she owned me. How on earth did she find me?!My shoulders slumped. I turned to June, forcing my voice to stay calm. I handed her the two warm paper bags.“June… please wait by the bike,” I said softly. “Just give me a minute… I’ll handle this,”She didn’t argue. She only nodded, her eyes moving slowly from my face to Natalie, then back to me. The disappointment in them cut really deep. She turned and limped toward the bik

Chapter: CHAPTER 036: WRAPPED AROUND HIMJUNE;Ronan’s shoulders slumped slightly as he read the hesitation in my eyes and heard the sharpness in my tone, but that stubborn smile still played on his lips. He wasn’t backing down, and I wasn’t going to let those sinful blue eyes drown me again, not today. I crossed my arms tight over my chest, trying to create some kind of barrier between us.“Where did you even get this bike from?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. “And why on earth would you think it’s the safest thing to bring to pick me up with a sprained ankle?”He looked away for a second, then back at me. Without answering my questions, he took one slow step closer. My eyes darted around the street, checking if anyone was watching us. My jaw clenched. “Take a step back, Ronan… People are starting to watch.” I whispered. He smirked, that dangerous, heart-stopping smirk that always made my stomach twist. Then he said the craziest thing.“Take the helmet, June. Or I’ll plant a kiss on your lips right here in fr

Chapter: CHAPTER 035: SPRAINED AND SAVEDJUNE;I couldn’t help the soft giggle that escaped me. Mary sat across from me, peering intently into my eyes, clearly trying to figure out who I was talking to.I switched the phone to my other hand, my fingers still a little shaky from everything that had happened this morning. His voice had brought up those feelings again, I was starting to curl in my seat.“I just stepped out for a bit,” I said softly into the phone. “I’ll be home shortly. I promise.” “You shouldn’t even be walking with that ankle. It's not so hard staying in bed, you know,” his voice came through, low and concerned.He was right. I knew that. If I had listened and stayed in bed, I wouldn’t be limping right now.”I smiled despite myself, biting my lower lip. But I had needed this, the coffee, the fresh air, and most of all, the chance to talk to Mary. “I know. I just… needed the gist. I’ll be careful.”The sky rumbled low above us, as if it had its own plans, dark clouds rolling in from one direction. A cool win

Chapter: CHAPTER 034: DEAD-ON-ARRIVALJUNE;The cab pulled up right before the coffee shop. Adults walked in and out of it, my throat gulped. The watch on my wrist showed a few minutes before five in the evening. The air was getting even colder, as if we should expect autumn rain soon. A doorman held the door while I went through, returning his bright smile even though my ankle still throbbed a little from the fall. The coffee shop buzzed with life, soft chatter, the hiss of the espresso machine, and the rich smell of coffee beans filling the air nicely. I headed straight for a table by the window and sat down. Minutes later, Mary strutted in, all bright smiles and bubbly energy. She spotted me immediately and slid into the seat across from me with a dramatic sigh of happiness.“Finally! My June bug in a real coffee shop,” she said, grinning widely. “Look at us, living like actual adults. No more sneaking drinks in my room.”I laughed, throwing my head back. “It feels weird, right? But kind of nice… Adult things.”Mary

Chapter: CHAPTER 033: MY RUINJUNE;We stayed that way, lips locked, breathing each other in. The kiss grew deeper, hungrier. Soft gasps slipped from my mouth into his. Ronan groaned low against my lips, the sound vibrating through my chest and making my toes curl right there on the floor. His hands stayed gentle but firm on my face, pulling me in, and brushing my cheeks like he was afraid I might disappear.“Ronan…” I gasped when we finally broke for air.He pulled back slowly, just enough for our eyes to meet. Both of his hands still cupped my chin, his blue eyes searching my hazel ones with an intensity that made my stomach flip. Our hearts were pounding hard, chests rising and falling as if we had just run a marathon. My fingers lightly tugged at his bare arm, feeling the warmth of his skin and the hard muscle underneath. His thumb slowly wiped across my lower lip, tracing where we had been connected. His own lips stayed apart, like he wanted to say something important but the words wouldn’t come out.I dro

Chapter: CHAPTER 032: SLOW, DELICIOUS THINGSJUNE;“June,” Mariah shook me. “Are you alright?” She queried.Alright? Did she just ask that? Mom would always say I should be honest. But I was sure that doesn't apply to situations like this one staring me hard in the face. Being honest meant admitting to Mariah that my body was wanting someone it should never have wanted. I parted my lips dryly. “Yes. Of course, I am pretty fine,” I covered up. “I just thought about something. Yeah.”That was convincing enough, because her eyes moved from my face back to the view before us outside the window.Ronan stood out in the garden, bare-chested, wearing only a pair of cream-colored combat shorts that barely reached his knees. The early morning sun kissed his skin as he watered the flowers, splashing water playfully into the air. The water doing justice to his whole body too. Water ran down his broad shoulders, over the hard ridges of his abs, and disappeared into the waistband of his shorts. His chestnut hair was damp, messy, and sticki

Chapter: CHAPTER 057: MAYA’S POVThe door glided shut slowly as Williams stepped in fully, his presence filling the room like a storm about to break. His eyes locked on Jeff, cold and sharp.“I said, repeat what you just said,” he ordered, voice low but cutting.Jeff’s face went pale. Sweat beaded on his forehead. He looked between Williams and me, lips quivering as if he might bite on his tongue. For a second, I thought he might run. “Wait,” Williams ordered. Jeff paused. “Call Elizabeth in,” Jeff nodded, shaking his head too fast. Then he moved over to the landline, grabbed the receiver with shaky hands, paused for a few seconds before finally speaking into the receiver.In a few minutes, the door swung open. Elizabeth walked in with her usual confident stride, red lips curved in that fake smile. But the moment she saw the look on Williams’ face, her expression faltered.“Now, go on,” Williams nudged Jeff. The fidgeting man’s eyes moved from my face to Williams’ then to Elizabeth, and back to Williams.Then the w

Chapter: CHAPTER 056: MAYA’S POVTomorrow, we leave for the trip. Williams had made a few calls getting the private jet ready as we stepped out of the car and into the lobby of Banks Holdings. I headed straight for the elevator, with Patra giving that friendly smile. I returned it, face straight toward the elevator. “Ms. Delaney,” someone called from behind. I spun, it was Jeff. I paused. He walked up to me with his usual polite smile, but I was in no mood to return it. Williams took the executive elevator while I stood there, eager to hear Jeff speak and act like he cared. “How are you faring?” he asked. “You weren’t at work yesterday. Everything okay?” I peered into his eyes. The words I wanted to say burned on my tongue, but not here in the open lobby, with eyes still on my skin, like they were waiting for me to flare, run, or cry. But I knew one thing, there was no way I was boarding the same jet with this man tomorrow morning without knowing who he really was. It had been hard enough breathing the sa

Chapter: CHAPTER 055: MAYA’S POVWilliams had pushed the door open shortly after I walked into my office. It was safe to say he was eager to see me this morning, because why was he unusually early to office today? Now he stood in the doorway clutching his leather bag a little tighter, his eyes bright, and chest thumping lightly like a child that had won candies from a school's dance competition “What?” I drawled, as he had refused to move. Fingers digging up a few files from the drawer open under my desk. His lips lifted just at the corner. “I was almost out of breath yesterday when you were not here… but I know you needed the rest,” “Oh, please,” I sang, hoping the files in my hand were enough to hide how visibly shaky I was just from him being around. “That's the truth, Maya. I'm glad it paid off anyway…. I mean, you're glowing.” He added. “Uhmmm,” I nodded lightly, letting the files rest for a while. “Let's just say I'm back and better for the upcoming project,” He nodded. “That. We're moving over to

Chapter: CHAPTER 054: GABRIEL’S POVI knew this impromptu meeting with Maya wasn’t going to end well for Amila and me. I wouldn’t hear the last of it. The moment Maya walked past us with those luxury shopping bags swinging from her fingers, something inside my chest cracked open. But not only that bothered me, but this Maya was new, different from the soft-spoken Maya I had always known.Where did she get all that boldness from? She had stood in front of me and thrown those sharp words like she had been saving them for years. That was definitely Williams’ touch. He had given her wings to fly, and she was doing really great at it.My throat tightened as I watched her hair sway until she disappeared through the glass doors at the end of the hallway. Different thoughts crashed through my mind all at once. I had no idea how long I stood staring in that direction until a hard slap landed across my cheek. The sound was low, but the sting burned deep into my skin, almost causing my eyes to redden. It was Amila.How dare she

I had come to pick up a few things for the TerraNova trip.It was safe to say I was beginning to feel like myself again, like the Maya Delaney I knew before Gabriel happened. Me, Maya? In a luxury shopping mall?Gabriel would have screamed into my ears reminding me I was being wasteful… Extravagant! Yes, that's the word. But the money Williams had sent me without me asking, it was enough to pay for even more items. And yes, I got a new pair of shoes too.That awesome pair from Jimmy Choo I had always admired and wanted, the same ones Gabriel termed too pricey, right after squandering even more on hotel and vacation bills for him and his flat-ass personal assistant, right before Amila showed up. Well, I have better things to focus my pretty mind on; my luxury brands’ shopping bags that sat pretty on my fingers.Then I saw him. Gabriel!

I stood on the front porch of my mother's house, watching as his car pulled off, his eyes fixed on me the whole time, while his driver steered the wheel. “Take a day off. I need you alive and well”Those were his words. Even though I had given it a fight, I didn't want the staff at Banks Holdings thinking I ran off because of the trending pictures. But Williams was right, I needed rest. Especially as I had woken up yet another morning with a banging head, and a slightly high temperature. This was the third day in a row I was waking up in the morning with my body as heavy as lead. For a moment, I held my forehead in my palm and shut my eyes while my stomach rumbled low, sending nauseous waves up to my throat. The same ugly, metallic taste on my tongue just as last night. “Okay, boss,” I had replied, accepting the kind offer. At least, this would give me enough time to do a little shopping for the upcoming TerraNova-UrbanAxis trip…
