Chapter: Chapter 5Janelle's POVMy eyes fluttered open slowly.For a moment, everything was a blur and I blinked hard, trying to gather my scattered thoughts.Where was I?Panic rushed through me instantly, and I pushed myself up too fast, my chest tightening as my eyes darted wildly around the unfamiliar room.“Where am I?”My voice came out hoarse and weak.Then suddenly, a warm hand gently touched my arm.I flinched at first, then turned quickly.Zane sat beside the bed, his expression calm, his touch steady in a way that strangely soothed the panic rising inside me.“Hey,” he said softly, his thumb brushing lightly over my arm in quiet reassurance.“You’re safe now. Calm down. No one is going to hurt you here.”The tension in my chest loosened immediately.A shaky breath left my lips as I sank back against the pillows, my eyes stinging unexpectedly.“I thought…” My voice cracked, and I swallowed hard. “I thought I had died in that basement.”I looked at him, my throat tightening with emotion.“Than

Chapter: Chapter 4Janelle's POV “Oh my God… no… no, not here…”The words tumbled out of my mouth in broken panic as darkness swallowed me whole.The basement was pitch black, thick with damp air and a smell of rot I could not place.I scrambled up and threw myself at the door, pounding with both fists.“Help me!” I screamed, voice cracking with terror. “Please, somebody open this door! You can’t lock me in here… please! Let me out!”Tears blurred my vision as I kept banging, desperation turning violent.“Kennedy!” I sobbed. “Kenn, please… don’t do this to me. You know I can’t stay here. Please open the door.”“You should have thought about that before running your mouth.”My body went weak.I pressed my forehead against the cold metal, shaking violently.“Kenn…” My voice broke. “Please… I’m scared.Brenda’s soft laughter drifted through the door.“Well, that’s unfortunate,” she said lazily. “Perhaps a few hours in darkness will teach you humility.”Fiona laughed. “Look at that. The lioness has become

Chapter: Chapter 3Janelle's POV “Where do you expect me to go?”My voice came out hollow, broken beneath the weight crushing my chest, but somehow loud enough to silence the room for a moment.I slowly pushed myself up from the floor, every part of my body aching, my dignity already in pieces at their feet.My swollen eyes found Kennedy’s face.“You know I have no family,” I whispered. “You know I have nowhere else to go.”Kennedy did not soften, not even for a second.He simply slipped one arm around Brenda’s waist and drew her closer, his touch gentle in a way he had not touched me in months.“You can sleep in the streets for all I care,” he said coldly. “Sleep in a shelter. Sleep in a zoo. Sleep wherever abandoned things go when they are no longer wanted.”His gaze dropped meaningfully to Brenda’s stomach before returning to me.“My concern is my child and the woman carrying that child. Whatever Brenda wants, Brenda gets.”His voice hardened.“But I suppose you cannot relate to that kind of blessin

Chapter: Chapter 2Janelle's POV For a moment, I heard nothing.A sharp ringing filled my ears, drowning out everything else as the room tilted violently beneath my feet. My knees weakened so suddenly that I had to grab the edge of the console table beside me to keep from collapsing.My fiancée.She’s carrying my child.No, I must have heard wrong.Kennedy wouldn’t—A bright, cheerful voice shattered the fragile thread of denial I was clinging to.“Welcome home, sister-in-law,” Fiona said warmly as she stepped forward to embrace Brenda. “I hope your flight wasn’t stressful.”Slowly, painfully, I turned my head toward her.My lips parted, but for several seconds, no sound came out.Then finally, in a voice so thin it barely sounded like mine, I asked, “You knew?”Fiona pulled back from Brenda and looked at me with faint amusement.My breathing hitched.“You knew?” I repeated, louder this time, my voice shaking with disbelief. “You knew your brother was engaged to another woman, and all this time, you

Chapter: Chapter 1Janelle's POV “Seeing you naked is the most disgusting thing I’ve had to endure. If I could undo one thing in my life, it would be you.”I stood in the middle of the bathroom, one hand still reaching for my towel, unable to move as the words sank in and stole whatever strength I had left in my body.“Kenn…” My voice came out smaller than I intended. “Why are you doing this to me?”“Doing what?” he asked calmly.I swallowed hard and forced myself to step closer, even though every instinct told me not to.“Why do you keep hurting me? I’m trying my best here, Kennedy.”For a brief moment, he said nothing. Then he exhaled slowly, like I was something he had grown tired of explaining himself to.“What exactly do you think you’re doing?” he asked.My hand had already reached for him without me realizing.“I’m trying to get my husband to make love to me,” I said quickly, my voice shaking. “I just want you to touch me… it’s been so long.”His eyes dropped to my hand on his arm and he jerked
