Savannah…What did his words mean? No. I didn't want to get caught up in this again. Cillian was always like this, but then it all became an illusion, yet my heart was racing. Not because I was scared, but because of the butterflies in my stomach caused by Cillian's gaze."Let me go, Cillian," I whispered, even though my hands weren't fully pushing him away.Cillian moved closer instead, his rough fingers gently caressing my chin, forcing me to look at him."Can you just see me, Sav? What should I do? What should I do to make you look at me? Please...""I'm doing it, Cillian." I tried to push him away. "You’re always making me second-guess everything.”“Second-guess? You’re the one who doesn’t want to find out, Sav.”“I don’t want to argue. Alright, we’re sharing a room now. And then what?”Cillian laughed cynically. “Always changing the subject. It’s you, Savannah.”Cillian pulled my hand, pressing it against his chest. I could feel his heart beating fast."Feel it," Cillian said.Wh

Savannah…Rowan grabbed my hand, then forced a kiss on me."Rowan, no!""I know you still love me very much, Savannah." Rowan continued kissing me, even forcibly pulling the buttons off my blouse."Rowan, please. You can't do this!""Yes, I can. This is what you want, right? You've wanted this all along. We are going to fuck.""No, Rowan. I'm pregnant!""You're pregnant? I'll get you pregnant too."Rowan went crazy. He lost control of himself. Well, I knew about his habits, but he never forced me unless he was drunk. And in the past, I never refused, but now I don't want to be degraded like this.Rowan ripped my clothes off. I was no match for him, but I continued to resist."Calm down, Savannah. You wanted a little excitement, didn't you? You're jealous of Suzan because we did it so well.""I don't care. Let me go!"“No, Savannah. I won’t let you go.”“We’re divorced. Don’t do this.”“I don’t fucking care. You slept with Cillian. Why can’t I do it with you?”I cried as Rowan did his

Cillian…I slammed my phone down immediately. Rowan with Savannah? No! I couldn't let this happen. Rowan would never just give up on Savannah. Damn it. I had tried so hard to keep them apart. I immediately headed to Savannah's office. I didn't care if I had to blow my cover as Savannah's husband. I had promised to protect her. What worried me was Rowan's plan. This couldn't be a coincidence."Cillian..."Greta immediately approached me when I got out of my car."Where's Savannah?" I was very agitated. Feelings of anxiety mixed with anger made it impossible for me to pretend anymore."She's not here, Cillian," said Greta. "She's gone with her ex-husband.""What?" I was losing control. Greta grabbed my arm, clinging to me like a vine. "You should find out if Savannah and her ex are really over. It seems like they secretly love each other," said Greta."Love?" I shuddered. "Don't talk nonsense, Greta. I know Savannah better than anyone. She and Rowan are over.""You never know what's

Savannah…After yesterday's argument and cold war with Cillian, it looked like today was going to be the worst day of my life.I had to take Rowan to the meeting room. Of course, I tried to act professionally. I smiled and didn't mention anything personal.Carrying my laptop, we entered together. Once inside, I placed my laptop on the table and opened the project I was working on.Suddenly, Rowan closed the door and locked it."Rowan, what are you doing?" This made me panic especially since Rowan smiled slyly at me."Hmm..." he approached, making me stumble backward. "Don't we need to talk, Savannah? I just don't want anyone to interrupt our conversation.""Yeah, you don't need to lock the door...""Oh, that's a... I need some privacy." He got closer. "Your coworkers seem too curious about me.""They respect you because you're a client here.""Oh, really." Rowan quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me so that my body automatically touched his."Rowan, what are you doing? What if someone

Cillian…I tried knocking on Savannah's door repeatedly, but she still wouldn't open it. This frustrated me. How could I win her heart? How could I make her happy?"Savannah, please…"I stood in front of the door even though Savannah remained adamant about not opening it. I was even willing to sit in front of her room. I was like a feared Alpha. I was an Alpha who was never afraid of anything."Cillian, enough!"Leah saw me. She approached me and pulled my hand."Stand up. You're an Alpha. The outside world only knows me as a great man. Stop sulking like a rejected pup."I didn't say anything. I just stared at Leah."Come on, buddy. You need to refresh yourself."Leah took me outside to the second-floor balcony. She even had a bottle of whiskey ready for us. I downed the whiskey right away."You should have told Savannah how you really felt, Cillian. You’re leaving everything in a gray area.”"Savannah doesn't feel the same way, Leah. Besides...""What makes you hesitate?""Even thoug

Savannah…“Ci-Cillian?” I looked up when I saw Cillian standing in front of the elevator staring at me as I tried to stand up. Emma and Greta were shocked, especially Greta.“Cillian, why are you here?” Greta hurried over to him.Unfortunately, Cillian ignored Greta. "Savannah, what the hell is this? Why are you on the elevator floor?" Cillian looked panicked."Relax," I said. "Greta just...""Savannah was surprised because there was a little problem with the elevator, Cillian," Greta suddenly interrupted. "I tried to keep her calm, but I was also panicking."Wow. She was afraid I would say something. I smiled and whispered to Cillian."Please don't say you're my husband."Cillian glared at me, but I was begging him. I didn't want Emma or anyone else at the company to know. It was all for the sake of my job."Alpha Cillian, you know Savannah?" Emma looked confused.Cillian helped me out of the elevator. Emma and Greta also got out of the elevator. "Cillian and I are friends," I sai

Casey’s POV"Ow!"The knife slipped as I was peeling a melon, slicing into my finger."Casey."Jordan rushed over to me. "What's wrong?""No… nothing," I said, showing him my finger. "It’s just a little blood."Jordan didn’t say much. He grabbed my hand, led me to the sink, and ran cold water over the cut."Seriously, Jordan, I’m fine.""You’re distracted."To be honest, I was a nervous wreck. It was almost nine p.m. and he still wasn’t home. Jordan had mentioned that Noah would be late because of some business.With everything going on, I couldn't shake my anxiety. Becky could easily be meeting him in secret, or vice versa. I couldn't bear the thought of what happened to James happening to Noah."When is Noah coming back?""I'm not entirely sure, but he’ll be home."Why did I get the feeling Jordan knew something he wasn’t telling me?"Jordan."He avoided my gaze, reaching up to the overhead cabinet to grab the first-aid kit. He pulled out some ointment and gently applied it to my wo

Casey's POVJordan had been acting weird ever since we left the church. I had no idea who he’d seen there, but he’d seemed on edge the whole time. It was rare to see Jordan show that much emotion or uneasiness. He was usually so composed. Even when we sat down to eat at a restaurant, he kept scanning our surroundings like he was expecting something to happen.“You okay, Jordan?”“Hmm.” He looked at me, snapped out of his thoughts. “Yeah. I’m fine. Why?”Something felt off. Jordan was hiding something. What was going on? Or maybe something had happened to him that he wasn’t telling me.“Are you uncomfortable being with me? I mean. I told Noah about what happened between us. He doesn’t…”“Look, Casey.” Jordan gave a dry, knowing smirk. “Didn’t we agree we wouldn’t talk about what happened in your car? I’ve already put all that behind me. So, there’s no problem at all.”“Then why do you seem so tense? Your attitude is making me nervous.”“I just have a feeling…” Jordan took a deep breat

Casey POVI know better than anyone that the world is a cruel place. Back when I worked as a journalist, I saw firsthand just how risky my job could be whenever I wrote stories that affected people’s lives. I always stayed behind the scenes, writing regardless of the situation, and I did my work with integrity. I was always driven to do better, even though Arnold never once appreciated what I did.He acted like every bit of success was only thanks to his own hard work.Then I started my own social media channels, and suddenly, all eyes were on me. People were leaving comments about Becky, comments about Noah. My head was spinning from it all, but like I told Noah before, it didn’t stop there. Several people sent me direct messages with proof from years ago, confirming that Becky really was involved in violent acts and a biker gang.Turns out, I wasn’t the only one Becky had mistreated. There were other women right here in Wood Town who went through the exact same thing. Most of them h

Noah’s POVI’m pretty sure my voice boomed so loudly that Casey actually flinched and stepped back, completely shocked by my words. I don’t even know how to control myself right now. My blood is absolutely boiling. I could literally kill her this moment.Instead, all I heard was a mocking laugh. Becky’s voice on the other end of the line, dripping with satisfaction.“Really? Just try, Noah. I’m so fucking waiting for you.”My chest heaved. I had to find her. After all the hell I’d been through, she was still coming after Casey.“Stay the fuck away from Casey, Becky. I’m not playing games!”“Noah… little boy. Casey is just too tempting for me. Especially after that crazy interview you did with her.”“Just admit you’re terrified the cops will find out the truth, Becky.”“The truth?” Becky laughed again. “Which truth is that, Noah? The truth that you shot James? You held the gun. You’re the one who shot him. I wasn’t even there when the cops showed up.”I gripped Casey’s phone so hard my

Casey POVNo answer. Just silence creeping between us.Noah’s dark eyes stayed locked on mine. His chest rose and fell heavily. I waited, hoping for an answer to the question I’d just asked.He hates me. James’s death made him hate me. He went to prison and he hates me. He said it plainly. He can’t have a relationship with me like before because he can’t forgive himself for what happened to James.But why is he still protecting me? He’s still here. With me. Holding me, still enjoying my body.“Answer me, Noah. Why’d you just go silent?”He let go of my waist and turned away, stepping back from me.“Don’t be a coward, Noah. What the hell is really going on with you? You don’t want me, but you won’t let me go either. Why are you torturing me like this? Why don’t you just leave me alone? Let Becky find me and kill me.”His footsteps stopped. I watched his back tense, then he turned to face me.“Say that again,” he ordered, his dark eyes burning with authority.My chest tightened. He cont

Casey POVI know what I did was crazy. Walking in while Noah was in the shower. He didn’t even flinch when I stood there in front of him. I got a full view of his naked body, all wet under the running water.“What’s the matter?” he asked, totally calm. “Wanna hook up?”“It’s not like that, Noah. Why are you okay with Jordan spending so much time with me? Do you seriously trust that nothing will happen between us?”“What’d you mean? Jordan’s there to keep you safe.”“Noah, I don’t need a bodyguard. I just need to make content and live my life normally.”“And Becky’s gonna come for you again. You really think she won’t kill you if she sees you?”“Why would she wanna kill me? I haven’t done anything. I… ““Because you dragged that case from five years ago back into the spotlight when it should’ve stayed buried. You think you’re safe right now? She knows we have a plan. She knows you have the power to blow this whole thing wide open.”It hit me then just how serious and dangerous the cont

"Are you fucking blind! You're deliberately trying to hurt yourself!"Natasha was silent, confused, staring at Christian who was scolding her. She was in Christian's car next to him, while Jonas was driving."I am sorry," she answered flatly.Silence ensued. Natasha didn't respond. She was still shocked by Anastasia. She insisted that she wasn't at fault. Anastasia hit her, and she was the one at fault."Where should we go, Sir?" Jonas ventured to ask, confused about where to take Natasha."Take Natasha home?" Christian said firmly."Just drop me at the bus stop.""Take Natasha home!" Christian emphasized his words once again. This time, it was more firm, as if Natasha had no right to refuse. ***Christian's car arrived in front of Natasha's residence. Coincidentally, Marry had just come out of the house. She saw Natasha getting out of a luxury car. Her eyes widened as she smiled broadly, watching Christian, a man in an expensive suit, with straight shoulders, a broad chest, and a cl

Natasha immediately wiped her face. She didn't want her boss to know about this. She didn't even know why she suddenly started crying."No, um. I got something in my eye. I think the weather is bad. My eyes are dehydrated."Anastasia quickly returned to the front. Customers were waiting to order coffee. Robert noticed Natasha's behavior. Even though she didn't say anything, he felt that Natasha was hiding something."Well, at least she's still professional," Robert muttered.***Christian stared at the cup of coffee on his desk. His gaze didn't move an inch. The coffee, which had been hot, instantly cooled because it was being stared at."You want some coffee, Chris?" Jonas said."Hmm..." Christian muttered.Jonas was confused because Christian had been staring at the coffee for some time. He said a few things about work, but Christian only responded with a serious muttering. Jonas checked the time. There was no movement at all."Is something wrong?" Jonas asked.Christian looked up,

This morning Christian woke up very early. He and Jonas jogged before leaving for the office. Christian glanced at Jonas several times. He still feels bad because his parents plan to set him up with Ana."Jonas, you want us to take a vacation?" asked Christian trying to open the conversation. "To be honest, I'm getting tired."They ran side by side so they could chat."You have much work to do. Did you forget? That this week you have a meeting with investors," Jonas said without expression, and his tone was even."Let my father meet them. I want to take a trip overseas. We can go up North. I hear the girls there are hot and attractive," Christian says.Jonas suddenly stopped. He looked at Christia. His facial expression looks annoyed."What?" asked Christian, afraid of his friend's expression."You're getting engaged to Ana. Why are you still thinking about other women?" Jonas looks annoyed. Very annoyed.Christian shakes his head. "I'm not going to do it," Christian replied, tapping

Christian sits in the dining room with the guests. Anastasia was busy talking to Linda and Alan. Meanwhile, Tina and Peter were also busy praising Christian to his parents.Christian is not calm here. He is concerned with his best friend and assistant, Jonas. Occasionally Christian looks at Anastasia or Ana, as she is usually called. Ana is beautiful. She is a smart girl from a fairly well-off family. Christian doesn't understand why his parents set him up with Ana. All of this is too sudden. Christian never even thought of Ana as a woman."Chris, why have you been silent all this time? Is something wrong?" asked Tina, Ana's mother.Christian would love to say that he has no feelings for Ana. Instead, he wanted to set Ana up with Jonas because he knew that Jonas had had a crush on Ana for a long time. Even though Jonas never said anything. Christian knows very well that Jonas' attitude is different every time he is with Ana."Oh, I'm just a little unwell. I just got back from the hosp

"I just wanted to thank someone, Mom. Is that wrong?" Natasha asked. Her face changed, not as cheerful as before. Her eyes suddenly dimmed.Marry approached Natasha. She then turned off the stove because the water was already boiling. Natasha looked at Marry, the woman she now called 'Mom.' The woman who saved her life for the past five years."Change your clothes. I will make tea for your guest," said Marry.Natasha was silent for a moment. She sighed as if feeling very tired today. She then rushed to the room like Marry wanted.While Natasha was changing clothes, Mary brought tea and snacks to the living room. When she saw a handsome young man sitting in the living room of her house, Marry was stunned. Natasha never invites anyone to come to this house. This is a rare thing to happen.Looking at the photos, Jonas was surprised when he saw a middle-aged woman coming with tea and snacks. He immediately stood up."No need. Please sit down. I just want to know my daughter's guests," Marr

Christian is still in that position. The position where he was on top of Natasha's body. Staring at the girl's face with his heart beating increasingly erratic. He wanted to get up, but his chest felt very strange."Ah!" Christian squealed, clutching his right chest.Doctor Nick Brown watches as Christian groans. He immediately helped Christian quickly get up. Christian sat down while Natasha was still on the bed. Now she felt something strange. It was clear that Phillips was here, but this man made her feel the presence of Philips, who had been dead for five years.Natasha's tears welled up. She didn't understand what this feeling was. She looked at Christian, who was being comforted by Doctor Nick. The man turned out to be a patient.Natasha got up too. She stares at Christian's face. It's weird. She wasn't wearing this man, but why did she feel something so familiar?"Tell me who are you?" she asked. This time it was in question.Christian turns to Natasha. He's calmer now, likewise
