Chapter: Chapter 38: The Things We Don’t Say
Kisha didn’t know where she was going, she only knew she couldn’t stay at home. The argument with Corey had ended hours ago, but his words were still circling inside her head. To conquer the world together is a great deal. She wanted to prove him wrong by letting him witness what she had just seen. She had even pretended to believe him. But now, walking alone through the busy streets of Stark City, she realized how deeply those words had reached. The evening crowd moved around her. Cars honked, people laughed, street vendors called out to passing customers and music drifted from an open shop. But Kisha heard none of it clearly. She simply walked, one street became another, then another. She didn’t notice how far she’d gone until her feet began to ache. She stopped near a busy intersection and looked around. She didn’t recognize the street. “What am I doing?” She whispered. Her phone was in her hand. Corey’s name was still at the top of her recent calls. She stared at it, her hand

Chapter: Chapter 37: Always Been A Father To Me
The house had finally gone quiet. Their mother had gone upstairs, the dishes had been cleared from the table, and the television in the living room played softly in the background, but neither Corey nor Jethro was paying attention to it. They sat outside on the back porch, two cups of juice between them and the night air settling gently around the house. For a while, neither brother spoke. Corey leaned back in his chair, Jethro stared at the garden. “You know…” Corey glanced at him. “What?” Jethro smiled faintly. Mom wasn’t joking earlier, about you never visiting. Corey laughed, I’ve been busy. “You’ve always been busy.” Jethro looked at him, “But you always came.” Corey’s smile faded, what do you mean? “When I was little you always came.” Jethro lowered his eyes. Corey listened. If I had a school event, you came. If I had a football match, you came. If I got sick, you slept outside my room. Corey smiled, “You had terrible nightmares.” “I know.” Jethro laughed softly. You

Chapter: Chapter 36: Around The Family Table
By seven that evening, Corey was already regretting agreeing to dinner. Not because he didn’t want to see his mother, he did. It was his younger brother he was worried about. Jethro had a talent for turning a peaceful dinner into an interrogation and tonight, Corey wasn’t in the mood to be interrogated. He parked outside his mother’s house and sat in the car for a moment. The house looked exactly as he remembered it. Warm lights glowing through the curtains, the faint sound of music coming from inside and the familiar smell of his mother’s cooking drifting through the evening air. He never seems to get why his mother cooks when they have servants at every beck and call. To make matters worse she prefers to live in this small mansion compared to the grandeur of the mansion he bought for her. His phone vibrated. Mom: Don’t make me come outside and drag you in. Corey smiled as he stepped out. Before he could knock, the door opened. His mother stood there with her hands on her hips. “Y

Chapter: Chapter 35: The Jealousy Game
Kisha stared at her phone for almost a minute before finally typing the message: Can we meet tonight? She watched the message delivered. Three dots appeared almost immediately, then disappeared. Appeared again. Where? Kisha swallowed. She typed the name of the restaurant and sent it. She knew exactly what she was doing and she knew it was childish. But Corey had walked away from their argument without understanding what she had been trying to tell him. He always protected her, always decided what was best amd always acted as though she would break if he loosened his grip for even a second. She wanted him to feel something. Anything. She wanted him to understand that she wasn’t someone he could simply push away and expect to find waiting in the same place. Unfortunately, the plan she had come up with was cruel and she knew it. The restaurant was crowded when Corey arrived. He stepped inside, scanning the tables. Then he saw her. Kisha sat near the far window, she wasn’t alone,

Chapter: Chapter 34: Mama Uyioku
Corey didn’t remember the drive to Mama Uyioku’s house, he only remembered leaving. One minute, he and Kisha had made it look like they had it all figured out, and the next minute he felt like a stranger with her. Dealing with all these emotions at once exhausted him to the point he couldn’t think straight any more. The next, he was behind the wheel, driving through the familiar streets of Stark City with his jaw clenched and his hands tight around the steering wheel. He shouldn’t have left, he knew that. But staying would have meant saying something he couldn’t take back. Kisha’s final words kept replaying in his mind. “We are both adults and needed to cool off some steam.” He exhaled sharply. “I know.” The problem was, he didn’t know how to stop protecting her. Not after everything they’d discovered, not after Morgan, not after Blackridge and certainly not after realizing how much he cared about her. By the time he pulled into Mama Uyioku’s compound, the sky had begun to darken

Chapter: Chapter 33: Truth Or Dare
Waking up side by side, the room had gone completely quiet as the morning sun reflected across the room. Not the awkward kind of quiet, but the kind that came after two people had shared something that changed the air between them. She lay beside him beneath the tangled sheets, her head resting against his chest while his fingers moved slowly through her hair. Neither of them seemed ready to speak. A few hours ago, they had been laughing, whispering, holding each other close. Now every little movement felt significant. She lifted her head and looked at him. “What?” he asked, catching her staring. Nothing. You’ve been staring at me for almost a minute. She smiled. “Maybe I’m trying to decide if I regret what we just did.” His expression immediately changed. “Do you?” The teasing disappeared from her face. “No.” His shoulders relaxed, “Good.” She playfully pushed his chest. “Don’t look so relieved.” I am relieved. Why? “Because I don’t think I’d know what to do if you told

Chapter: Chapter 16: The Billionaire Taste The Street Food
By noon, Raphina had reached a conclusion. She was bored, not ordinary bored. Silas Croft mansion, three-course meals, security guards, marble floors, and absolutely nothing interesting to do bored. She sat on the terrace with her sketchbook open, staring at the same unfinished drawing for almost twenty minutes. She finally dropped her pencil. “This is ridiculous.” A voice came from behind her, “What is?” She turned. Silas stood at the entrance to the terrace, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone. He looked annoyingly composed. Raphina narrowed her eyes, “You.” He raised an eyebrow, “Me?” “You’re boring.” Silas stared at her. Then he glanced around the enormous terrace. “I’m boring?..I own three companies and I have a private jet and a yatch.” Extremely still boring and congratulations too. Do you want a medal? His lips twitched and Raphina smiled.nShe had discovered something about Silas recently.nHe liked being challenged, he just didn’t know it yet. She closed

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Things She Carries
Raphina woke up smiling and she hated that. She hated the fact that the first thing that came to mind when she opened her eyes was Silas. More specifically, his lips. She touched her mouth and immediately pulled her hand away. “This is ridiculous.” A soft knock sounded at the door. “Miss Vance?” She recognized Mrs. Parker’s voice. “Come in,” The door opened. Good morning. “Good morning.” Mrs Parker placed a cup of tea on the small table. Mr Croft asked me to make sure you had breakfast. Raphina smiled. “He did?” Apparently, the billionaire has become concerned about whether you eat. She laughed, that sounds like him. Mrs. Parker smiled knowingly, I’ve worked for him for years. I’ve never seen him this attentive to anyone. Raphina’s cheeks warmed. He’s just being protective. “Of course.” Mrs. Parker turned toward the door then paused. Miss Vance? “You make this house feel different.” Before Raphina could respond, she left. Raphina stared after her then her phone rang. M

Chapter: Chapter 14: Unwanted Attraction
Raphina woke up with a problem. She couldn’t stop thinking about Silas. Not about the threatening messages, not about the strange photograph and not even about the conspiracy that had turned her life upside down. She was thinking about his hand around hers in the garden, about the way he had looked at her and about the words he had whispered. When I kiss you, I don’t think I’ll be able to pretend this is temporary anymore. She buried her face in her pillow. “This is ridiculous.” She had known the man for barely a few weeks, yet somehow, he had already found a way beneath every wall she’d built around herself. She got dressed and headed downstairs. The moment she entered the breakfast room, she saw him. Silas was standing beside the window, reading something on his tablet. He looked up, and their eyes met. For one second, neither spoke. Then his gaze dropped briefly to her lips. Raphina’s cheeks warmed then looked away. “Good morning.” “Good morning.” His voice sounded perfectly

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Space Between Us
The door opened, Raphina’s breath caught. Silas stood on the other side. He was dressed casually for once, wearing a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows. His hair was slightly disheveled, as though he had barely slept. His eyes immediately found hers. “Are you alright?” Raphina looked at him for a moment before remembering the photograph still lying on the floor behind her. “I…” She bent down quickly and picked it up. Silas noticed. What is that? Nothing. He raised an eyebrow. “Raphina.” She sighed and handed it to him. His expression changed the moment he saw the photograph, but instead of immediately becoming angry, he studied it carefully. Where did you find this? “On my pillow.” Silas looked at the picture again. Then at her. Did you sleep at all? Not really. “Neither did I.” Something about the admission made her pause. You didn’t? Silas shook his head, I had security checking every system in the house. Raphina studied him. “And did you find anything?”

Chapter: Chapter 12: A House Of Rules
The crash came again. This time, it was followed by hurried footsteps. Raphina flinched, Silas immediately moved in front of her. “Stay behind me.” She stared at his back. There was something about the way he said it that made her obey before she could argue. Gabriel disappeared down the corridor, his footsteps fading into the darkness of the mansion. Silas reached for the communication device attached to his belt. “Report.” Static. Then Gabriel’s voice, “The second floor is clear.” Silas frowned, clear? Like nothing? Raphina swallowed, but we heard something. I know. Gabriel’s voice came again. I’m checking the east wing. Silas looked at Raphina, “Stay here.”She folded her arms, “I’m not a child.” “Tonight, you are my responsibility.” His voice was stern.His eyes narrowed, “Don’t start.” I didn’t start anything. You brought me into your house and immediately started giving me orders, apparently I am not your prisoner. Because someone broke into your apartment. It’s not safe

Chapter: Chapter 11: The Contract
Raphina knew someone was following her, she just didn’t know how long it had been happening. The feeling had started the moment she left Croft Holdings. At first, she dismissed it. The streets were busy. Cars moved through the evening traffic, headlights cutting through the growing darkness. People hurried along the sidewalks, rushing home after another exhausting day. There was nothing unusual about it, yet every few seconds, she found herself looking over her shoulder. The black SUV was still there, three cars behind her. She stopped at a pedestrian crossing, the SUV stopped too. Her stomach tightened. When the traffic light changed, she continued walking. The SUV moved, Raphina quickened her pace, so did the vehicle. She reached into her handbag and pulled out her phone. Her finger hovered over Maya’s name, then she stopped. What was she going to say? I think someone is following me. It sounded paranoid. She looked behind her again, the SUV had disappeared. Raphina exhaled, ma

Yes To Your Demands

Yes To Your Demands

Ava Bennett has spent her entire life living in the shadow of her perfect older sister, Elena. She never imagined that one morning, Elena would disappear—and Ava would be forced to take her place at the altar of the most feared man in the city. Luca De Luca is a ruthless billionaire with a dangerous reputation and a family legacy built on secrets. He was supposed to marry Elena for reasons that have nothing to do with love. But when Ava walks down the aisle wearing Elena’s wedding dress, Luca immediately knows the truth. She is not his intended bride. Yet instead of calling off the wedding, Luca makes Ava an impossible offer: one year of marriage. In exchange, he will erase her family’s crushing debt and protect them from the enemies closing in. Ava agrees, believing she can survive twelve months beside a man she neither trusts nor understands. But Luca has secrets of his own. Elena didn’t simply run away. She stole something powerful, uncovered a conspiracy, and left behind clues connecting both families to a series of murders that began fifteen years ago—including the suspicious death of Ava’s mother and Luca’s father. As Ava and Luca are drawn into a dangerous game of betrayal, attraction, and buried truths, they discover that their forced marriage may have been planned long before either of them knew the other existed. Someone wanted Ava beside Luca. Someone is willing to destroy everything to keep them together. And when Ava finally discovers the truth about Elena, she must decide whether to trust the husband she never chose—or become his greatest enemy.

Chapter: Chapter 5: His House, His Rules
Rain hammered against the windows of the black SUV. Ava sat rigidly in the back seat, staring into the darkness outside. She had been married for less than an hour, her father had disappeared, a s had interrupted her wedding. And now she was being driven to the home of a man who had admitted that he never intended to marry her for love. Luca sat opposite her. He hadn’t said a word since they left the cathedral. His silence was beginning to feel heavier than anger. Ava finally broke, where are we going? “My house.” You said that already. “I know.” Then why aren’t you answering my question? Luca lifted his eyes, because you’re asking the wrong one. She frowned, what should I be asking? “Why did your father disappear?” Ava’s stomach tightened, you think he left willingly? I don’t know. Then find him. I intend to, tonight, yes. She leaned forward, then let me help. Ava stared at him. You can’t be serious. I am, that’s my father. “And you’re my wife."The words silenced her. Luc

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Vows
The cathedral doors opened, Ava’s heart nearly stopped. Hundreds of faces turned toward her. For one terrifying second, she forgot how to breathe. Then Luca’s hand settled against the small of her back. “Walk.” His voice was barely audible. Ava looked at him, that’s your advice? “Unless you’d prefer to run.” She almost smiled, almost. Then the orchestra began, she stepped forward. The long white train followed behind her, sliding across the polished floor. Every eye was on her, everyone believed she was Elena Bennett, everyone except the man beside her. And perhaps the person who had helped Elena disappear. Ava kept her gaze fixed on the altar as her father’s words echoed in her mind. If you refuse, they’ll kill all of us. She had thought she was sacrificing herself for her family. Now she wasn’t sure whether she had walked into something much bigger. As they reached the altar, Luca offered his hand. She placed hers in it, his fingers tightened around hers. The priest began spea

Chapter: Chapter 3: The Price Of A Lie
Ava’s fingers curled into the skirt of her wedding dress. She had imagined this moment a hundred different ways. Luca would shout, he would call his men, he would expose her in front of everyone downstairs. Instead, he simply stared at her. Waiting. “I didn’t know what else to do,” she finally said. Luca’s expression remained unreadable, that’s not an explanation. My sister disappeared this morning. “I know.” Ava froze. “You know?” I knew before your father did. The words made her stomach twist. Then why did you come here? “Because I wanted to see how far your family was willing to take the lie.” Ava stared at him, you knew I wasn’t Elena? “From the moment I saw you.” Her heart sank. “Then why didn’t you stop the wedding?” Luca walked toward the window, because I wanted answers. He looked outside. Elena disappeared with twelve million dollars from one of my accounts.” Ava’s eyes widened, “What?” She also took documents belonging to my company. She wouldn’t do that. “You ba

Chapter: Chapter 2: A Lie In White
The room fell into stunned silence. Richard Bennett’s face drained of color. “What did he say?” Ava whispered. Before her father could answer, the voice outside came again, calm and commanding. “Mr. De Luca doesn’t like waiting.” Each word landed like a hammer against Ava’s chest. She glanced around the bridal suite as though another door might magically appear. There wasn’t one, the only exit led straight to the man whose name had become synonymous with power, wealth, and ruthless control. Richard grabbed her hands. “Listen to me carefully.” His grip trembled, you cannot tell him the truth. Ava stared at him in disbelief. “You still think I can fool him?” You have to. “Dad—” If he discovers Elena ran away before the ceremony, he’ll believe our family humiliated him. “And?” He won’t forgive it. She pulled her hands free, so your solution is to humiliate him twice? Richard had no answer. A heavy knock echoed through the room,the door handle turned. Both of them froze as the d

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Bride Who Was Never Me
The wedding dress was never meant for Ava Bennett. It hung from her shoulders like borrowed skin, every pearl stitched into the satin reminding her that she didn’t belong here. The bodice pressed against her ribs until breathing became an effort, while the train pooled around her feet like a river she could no longer cross. She stared at her reflection in the floor-length mirror. A stranger stared back. Her chestnut hair had been twisted into an elegant chignon. Diamonds sparkled against her ears. Soft makeup concealed the freckles she had spent twenty-four years trying to ignore. For the first time in her life, she looked rich. For the first time in her life, she wished she didn’t. The bedroom door burst open without warning. “Ava.” Her father’s voice cracked through the silence. Richard Bennett stood in the doorway, his expensive suit unable to hide the panic etched across his face. Sweat glistened along his forehead despite the mansion’s cool air. “They’re here.” Ava didn
