Chapter: 84Jackie’s POV“Evangeline, please.”I laughed at the way Matt had spoken. He was so down bad for Evangeline who gave him an incredulous look. I watched him wrap his arms around her waist and put his face in her neck. I could see that Evangeline was blushing from his touch, and it made me happy for her. At least, Matt has become a new man and no longer the person he was, plus, he made her happy even though she still played hard to get. I shipped them so hard. The day they announced that they were dating, I would rejoice.“Are you done?”I looked away from the duo to Andrea who was pointing at the sliced apples on the chopping board. In her arms was Paul, who was sucking on his pacifier. He grinned when he noticed my attention was on me, making my heart melt.“Lucas’ mom wants to see you,” Andrea said, and confusion filled.“Me?” I pointed at my chest. “Do you know why?”“Girl, I don’t know. She just wants to talk to you about something.”I dropped the knife I was holding and wiped my han

Chapter: 83Chapter’s Soundtrack Love Me Hard by Elly DuheLucas’ POVI felt the dawn of a new day and opened my eyes. There was slight darkness in the room as my eyes took in the expanse of the room. I yawned and tried to stretch, only to feel a weight on my arm. I blinked and looked down, then smiled at the sight of Jackie sleeping in my arms. My heart fluttered at the feel of her body resting against mine, fitting perfectly.I held my breath when she moved and moaned before cuddling me more. I pressed my lips against her head and inhaled the sweet scent of her hair. I looked at the hand that was fisted on my bare chest then took it, lacing it with mine. I brought her hand close to my face and kissed the knuckles of her hand. I opened her hand and pressed her soft palm on my cheek before nuzzling it with my nose.She moaned and moved in my arms again, making me stop what I was doing. She moved her head against my chest, rubbing her nose on it before raising her head off it. I smiled when she co

Chapter: 82Lucas' POVI knew trying to trigger Henry was the wrong move but seeing Matt and Jackie with me gave me the courage to know that we would all walk out alive, but it seemed as if I was wrong as I watched him pull the trigger. The first thing that came to my mind was to protect Jackie, and how a repeat of what happened was about to repeat itself.But what I did not expect was for Matt to stand between us and Henry, taking the bullet. When he dropped to the ground, it felt as if everywhere around me went dark. My heart squeezed from fear and worry as I stared down at his body that lay unmoving on the floor.When Jackie screamed, I snapped out of my state and looked up with rage coursing through my veins. Henry was stiff from shock, and I took that as an opportunity to dash my way to him. I hit the and that held the gun, sending it flying away. Before he could react, I hit him in the face. I barely had any strength but adrenaline to finish off Henry was in me. I had the urge to kill him,

Chapter: 81Jackie’s POVFear was back.I could feel the fear just as I could feel the weight of the gun against my cheek as he began to count from number one. I looked away from Lucas to the side to try to stare at the monster. He had a nasty smile on his face, a maniacal one that reminded me of Maddy’s. It was crazy how there were psychopaths moving with us. Why couldn’t my love life have jealous exes who did not murder and crazy family members who didn’t just like their child’s partner?“Three… You’re not saying anything, son.”He needed to stop calling him that.My heart skipped a beat when he dug the mouth of the gun into my cheek, making me feel pain there. I gritted my teeth and tried to look over my shoulder at Matt. What was that fucker doing? He needed to cut the man off per our agreement.“Tw—”“Wait,” Matt said, getting our attention.I let out a sigh of relief and thanked the heavens when he left my head and let me fall back to the floor. I crawled over to Lucas’ feet and held his an

Chapter: 80Jackie’s POVI felt like I was going crazy from all the influx of emotions inside of me.Anger, sadness, guilt, worry and shame.They were at war within me as I tried to clear my mind, to remain sane, to be hopeful. I was forcing myself to believe that it was not my fault. I was not at fault for losing Drake and was about to lose Lucas too. I felt so stupid all because I wanted to get a few school items. If I had just waited a little more, or forgot about it, a stranger would not have snuck into our home and taken my child.Tears formed in my eyes, and I let them fall, heating up my cold cheeks. I sniffled and began to cry softly. I had no idea what condition Drake and Lucas were in while I sat in comfort. I hated feeling useless. I wished I could do something to save Lucas and Drake, but I was useless. I was barely healed from childbirth and that made me even more angry.I curled my body on the bed and cried harder, trying to force the pain in my heart to seize. I grabbed a handful o

Chapter: 79Lucas’ POVPain, dullness and a slight feverish feeling was heavy on me as I struggled to open my eyes. I started to feel confused, wondering where I was and what had happened, especially why it felt as if I could not move. My chest felt heavy and at the same time, it felt as if I could not feel one side of my body.I opened my eyes and hissed as an ache hit my head. I blinked multiple times before my eyes opened properly. I raised my head and groaned when my arm hurt so badly. I looked at the arm and saw that the sleeve of my jacket was stained with blood.“Finally awake?” A deep voice asked.I tried to sit up and grunted when I realized that I was tied to the spot I was sitting in. I looked down at my body and saw a thick rope tied around my torso, arms and legs. I raised my gaze to the person and frowned when I saw Henry. He was sitting on a couch across the room, holding a gun and a glass of wine.“Untie me, you bastard,” I demanded, and he laughed with a shake of his head.“I kno

When Bad Boys Fall
"Open your mouth," he whispered and I looked at him in confusion. "Open your mouth, Jackie."
I swallowed and did as I was told. The heat between my legs heightened when he ran the wet candy over my bottom lip before stuffing it into my mouth. The sweetness expanded on my taste buds and my body heated up at the fact that the lollipop had been in his mouth.
There was something erotic about it and it left me accepting the way my body reacted to it. I looked deeper into his eyes and sucked on the lollipop then moaned when he started to move it in and out of my mouth. I wasn't innocent and I knew just what he was doing.
"Fuck it," Lucas said and took the lollipop out of his mouth the crashed his lips on mine.

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Seven[|] The next day, we were back to the hotel we had been in before Maddy captured me. When I woke up, I felt an odd feeling at the thought of Maddy being dead. Even though she ended up betraying me, she had been part of my life and it made me a little sad that she had to end the way she did. I pushed away the feeling and sat up on the bed. I looked at the other side of the bed and smiled at a sleeping Lucas. He was facing the other way, bare-chested. I leaned forward and ran my hand over his smooth chest. He moved his body a little but didn't wake up. I rested my chin on my palm and stared at him. His jawline was covered with very light beards and I pictured him with a full beard. He would look handsome with it and more mature as I imagined him with a trimmed beard. It made me smile as I focused on his hair which was a bit longer. I began to imagine our life together with a child running around the house. I smiled wider at the imagination. "All I want is happiness from here on ou

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Six[|]"Hey."I flinched at the sound of Lucas' voice. I turned away from the floor-length window in the hallway of the hospital and faced him. He was looking stressed out with bags under his eyes, scattered hair, and pale skin. I wouldn't be surprised if I was matching his look."How are you?" I asked, walking up to him. I opened my arms for a hug and he came into it and I wrapped my arms around him. He lowered his height and rested his head on my shoulder."I'm so tired and I'm sure you are too," he said and hugged me back."I'm better now that I know Axel is fine," I said and pulled away from him.Axel had gone into surgery the moment we arrived at the hospital and it's been hours since we arrived. Barry had not left the door of the operating room. I could see how much they loved Axel. "You need to sleep. You are stressed from everything," Lucas said and cupped my face."I'm kinda hungry though," I said with a smile. "I need a nap but I won't do all these until I'm sure that Axel is

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Five[|] The loudness of the gun was ringing in my ears and I could barely hear my heartbeat. I was frozen on top of Maddy as I felt fear move through me. I gulped and wondered why I couldn't feel anything, I was numb. I rolled away from Maddy and looked down at my stomach. There was blood on my shirt but I couldn't feel any wound. It was when I looked at Maddy, that I realized the blood belonged to her and not me. She had a bullet hole in her chest while the gun was slack in her hands. Her eyes were wide as her chest moved up and down quickly. I rose to my feet, holding my stomach out of fear and protecting the baby in me. "Jackie?!" I looked up at the sound of a new voice. I saw Lucas staring at me with fear in his eyes. He ran up to me and cupped my cheeks"Jackie, you're shot," he said. I snapped out of my shocked state and shook my head. "No... Not me," I replied and looked down at Maddy who was laying on the ground, still breathing. Lucas furrowed his eyebrows and slowly fol

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Four[|]Jackie's POVThe moment Lucas had shifted, I was confused because I had been expecting him to fall at the impact of the bullet but I saw someone else; Axel.When I had seen Lucas at first, I felt my heart stop beating, I had felt like I lost it all. I thought I had lost him, I thought I had lost the man I loved but when I saw Axel, I didn't feel any different. Axel was my best friend, a brother I never had. I never had a sibling but it felt like I was losing one when I saw Axel taking the bullet for us. I didn't know if I could have screamed or passed out at the sight of Axel. I had not expected Axel to take the bullet. When I saw Lucas broken at the sight of his brother, I prayed that Axel was alright.The moment I saw Maddy run off, I knew I had to go after her before she escaped. I didn't even think twice and ran after her, picking up the gun she had dropped in the process.When I saw that Maddy had run out through a door in a corner. I pushed the door and looked on each side

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Three[|]Lucas' POVI could not let Jackie die. I would rather die than let the woman who has suffered enough go through death. I just couldn't watch her take that bullet.So, when I saw Maddy pull out her gun, I knew things would not end well. I had thought she would not pull the trigger but I was wrong when I saw her finger push the trigger. Knowing how fast a bullet was, I blocked Jackie to take the bullet with my eyes shut the moment she fired the gun.But when three seconds went by and I did not feel the burning and body-numbing feeling of the bullet, I opened my eyes and felt like my soul left my body when I saw the last person I was expecting in front of me."Axel?!" I screamed at the top of my voice, the same time Jackie said my name.I couldn't feel my body as I watched Axel slump to the floor. Everything around me became dark and I found myself falling to my knees and crawling toward him. He rolled onto his back and my eyes went straight to his bleeding chest. My hands began to s

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Two[|]Jackie's POVIt hurt so bad.It broke my heart to see him sign the contract. It made me angry to see them kiss. It wasn't Lucas' fault, I was not mad at him. I was mad at Maddy. She was so cruel. The worst feeling I felt was helplessness. I couldn't do anything to stop everything as I watched them kiss. I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest and tossed into a larva. I felt like I could not breathe. It was at that moment I knew that people could die from heartbreak. I just couldn't withstand the sight and thought of losing Lucas to her."Finally," Maddy said and I raised my head.I sniffed and glared at her when she looked at me, smiling wide with the contract pressed against her chest. She giggled and walked up to me."Won't you congratulate me?" She asked, craning her head to the side.I formed some saliva in my mouth and spat on her face. She gasped and closed her eyes at the impact. I smiled at the sight of my spit on her face then chuckled."I already got what I want

Chapter: TWENTY-ONE PEARL’S POV He sat me down on his couch and walked away. Once he was out of sight, I thought of running but when I looked in the direction of the door, I remembered it needed his fingerprint to unlock and open. Then and there, I mentally kicked myself in the foot for not registering my fingerprint in his door when he asked me to input it the last time I had been here.I groaned and leaned back into the couch. I was back in his house and my stomach was having a party. A party that made me feel nervous and worried.My back straightened into an upright sitting position when I heard him coming back. I swallowed and looked at my feet when he came into view. Anthony stopped a foot away and then took a step forward before standing in front of me. I chewed on my bottom lip and played with my fingers as he stood there, watching me. Then he sighed and knelt before me and took my hand gently in his. I looked up a little and saw a first aid box in his other hand while he eyed my injury with wor

Chapter: TWENTY PEARL’S POVI returned home later that day, still thinking. No matter how much I tried to pretend like nothing was bothering me, I simply couldn’t. This was a serious issue I couldn’t just ignore. Knowing the truth did a number on me. I was tempted to call him, to ask him to forgive me for the way I reacted earlier. I was also tempted to go far away from here, far away from school and my current life just to avoid Anthony Marison. I knew what my mind and body did once it came to him, it had a mind of its own. I walked into Lee's apartment and dumped my bag on the floor by the door. Like a robot, I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I grabbed a bottle of beer and popped it open then chugged half the bottle's content down my throat.I shut the fridge and went over to the living room where I sat and thought about how my life was a mess. Fucking my professor, working for the said professor who was my boss, semi-dating my old crush even when I still had an interest in a man wa

Chapter: NINETEENPEARL’S POVNo. It cannot be. I refuse to believe what I had just heard. There was no way on Earth that I had heard him say those words. I refused to be swayed by them as it was all a lie. He was lying and trying to appear like a saint. Anthony Marison was not and would never think of me that way, not after everything.Anthony was lying. What I had just seen and heard was all an illusion, it was a way for me to cope, to believe that he still wanted me. Anthony was married and what I saw was a lie. Except, it wasn’t. Every word he had spoken was real, and the passion behind those words started to make my feelings go here and there.He was not married as I thought. Anthony was not married to the woman but that did not still make any sense to me. I’ve seen them together multiple times, being cozy. They acted too close for comfort and him telling her that he lied to me left me confused.I rushed over to the stairway, where I sat to think clearly. I was confused, feeling congested all arou

Chapter: EIGHTEENAnthony’s POVPanic filled me as she clinged to me while panting hard. Her body was shaking, and I could not help but wrap my arm around her shoulder then pulled my phone out of my pocket. I turned on the flashlight, lighting the elevator. I looked down at her and saw her slowly begin to calm down.“Take deep breaths,” I said, and she inhaled and exhaled to my hearing.Why the fuck was this elevator still giving issues even after I told them to change it last month? Now, I was stuck here with the one person I was desperately trying to avoid. My heart was hammering faster by the second with every move of her warm hands on my arm and chest. She was not making matters better for me.“Miss. Williams.” I cleared my throat. Even though I was distressed about her condition, I needed to keep a formality between us.I felt her flinch before her hands moved away from my body. She muttered something under her breath before moving away from me.“Sorry,” she said and moaned.I ignored her and dial

Chapter: SEVENTEENANTHONY’S POVI was a liar.I did not like lying but I had to.I was currently the most confused man alive right now and it was all because of her. The one woman who walked into my world and changed everything like the witch that she was. She walked into my life, and it has never been the same ever since.It all started the day I saw her in that club and looking back at it now, I wished I never did because I would not be hurting the way I was right now. I remembered how beautiful she had been, dancing on the dance floor, making my heart feel something it had never felt before and when she looked at me, I lost it all.One thing led to another, and I was fucking her in a hotel room. That was the beginning of my end. Ever since then, I could not think straight and when I saw her the next day, I almost lost control. I had wanted to reach out to her, to reminisce about everything from last night but the moment I realized she was my student, shame took over me.But that did not last long wh

Chapter: SIXTEEN PEARL’S POVI must have heard wrong.Anthony Marison did not just say those words to me, did he? Was he being serious right now? Why was he suddenly acting differently? Why was he acting worse than the day we met each other after our one-night stand? Why was I even bothered that Anthony Marison, the man I thought was married, wanted to set things straight. What was wrong with me?“I… Um… Okay.” I didn’t know what to say.Anthony scoffed and walked to another corner of the room with his hands in his pockets and face stoic. I could not tell what he was thinking. I wished I could read his thoughts through his eyes, but I couldn’t. It was as if he was a different person. He looked like a stranger to me, and it hurt.“What?” He scoffed again. “Why do you look so disappointed? Did you not want this to end? You told me you want nothing to do with me anymore and I was acting like a boy, chasing after you to tell me what I did wrong… You say I am married… Yes, I am. What we had was a mistake a

Chapter: 90Anthony’s POVI have never been this worried about someone like I do to Sandy ever since she called me sounding weak. I had even left an important business meeting just for her and I didn't regret losing millions of dollars in the process. She was far more important than some contract.Seeing her looking sick and weak made my heart ache. She has never been like this before, and it hurt me to see her this way. I was only hoping that there was nothing seriously wrong with her or I would kill myself.I sighed as I dumped the ruined rug in front of the house for the trash collectors. I didn't care if she had thrown up in an expensive rug. She can throw up in my watch closet. I didn't mind as long as she was feeling better after it.As I walked back to the house, my phone rang. I stopped mid-walk and took out my phone from my back pocket. I rolled my eyes when I saw it was Trent calling. I wasn't in the mood to answer any calls that were not from the hospital but had no other choice but to

Chapter: 89Sandy’s POVI woke up with a smile on my face and a happy mood. Last night was great and I couldn't believe that I was capable of taking charge the way I did last night. The way I rode him and how it felt being on top of him had me feeling as if I was powerful. Seeing the look of pleasure on his face and how uncontrollable he felt added to my desire for him. Anthony had looked so good, handsome and lustful. It gave me a sense of pride that I could have him feeling that way.I snapped out of my thoughts and stopped brushing my hair then stared at the reflection. Once I was satisfied with my home outfit, I walked away from the mirror and went to the door. I took one last look at the room, making sure it was tidy enough and left.I made my way through the hallway and downstairs where I stopped in my tracks when I saw the painting from Gina on the wall.I still didn't understand what she was painting. The painting seemed to be in parts. Now it had long legs and a torso, both sides naked.

Chapter: 88Sandy’s POVIt was sad that our second honeymoon had come to an end. I wanted to stay more days in Wales with Anthony, basking in the feeling of finally being loved back. It still felt like a dream, a very bad fever dream. Anthony Hogan, the man that was my crush from the very beginning, was in love with me? It made me feel over the moon with happiness and love.Ever since then, I caught myself grinning like a fool. A fool in love.“You're glowing,” Gina said as she walked into the kitchen.I didn't even know when she walked into the house, courtesy of Anthony filling my thoughts. It could have been a thief, which was a far fetched thought.“I knocked and no one answered. Had to enter with my pair of keys,” Gina said and dropped her bag on the island. “What's up? You need to tell me every detail… What is it you wanted to tell me?”I bit down hard on my bottom lip. I knew she was going to be excited when I told her the new development. So, I dropped what I was holding and went to her.

Chapter: 87Anthony’s POV I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Just when I thought I could sleep peacefully without an ounce of worry in me, someone had to bother me and the call was coming from my personal phone.I forced my eyes open and raised my head off the pillow to glare at the bright beam of light coming from the device. Beside me, Sandy moaned and turned away, probably getting annoyed by the sound too. I groaned and pushed myself toward the edge of the bed. I picked up the menace of a phone and squinted at the screen. It was my mother calling. It was odd and when I checked the time, it was two in the morning. In annoyance, I accepted the call and laid my head back on the pillow.“Yes?” I said, sleepy and exhausted. “Oh. He answered. Finally… I have been calling you and you didn't pick.”I sighed. “Did you not check the time before you called?”“Oh. I am so sorry. I am currently in Washington DC, I forgot about the time difference… Anyway, I wanted to inform you about us coming

Chapter: 86Chapter's Soundtrack I Feel like I’m drowning By Two FeetAnthony’s POV Something about this was different. So different it sent shivers down my spine and filled me with warmth. I have been with her before but doing this felt different, maybe it was because I was in love with her or that our relationship felt real. Whichever one it was, I was loving it as my lips moved against hers.The sounds she made as I kissed her filled me with a euphoric feeling. It made me kiss her more, pouring the heat in me into our kiss. Whenever she opened her mouth, I would slide my tongue into it and deepen our kiss. I felt like consuming her, eating her and keeping her impossibly close to me. The thought of letting her go bothered me, even when we were in bed right now.I tore my lips away from her and opened my eyes to look at her. I couldn't help but fawn over how gorgeous she looked under me. Her hair disheveled and scattered on the pillow, with her blue eyes darkened from the pleasure I had evoked

Chapter: 85Sandy’s POV The kiss was different. It was unlike any other kiss we've had. This kiss had more passion, a passion that seeped through the pores of my skin and filled me with something strong. My heart felt like it was exploding as he kissed me more deeply, while cradling my face with his hand. The touch on my face made shivers run down my spine and made me want to put myself inside him to feel more of what this was.Was this what loving someone and being loved back felt like? I was high on this feeling, so high that I felt like I was floating. I couldn't help but kiss him back in the same manner, channeling my love for him into the kiss. While I did, I still couldn't believe it, Anthony loved me too.When the need for air hit us, Anthony pulled away with a moan and placed his forehead on mine. I smiled and placed my hands on his broad chest then looked up at him through my lashes after moving back a little.He was smiling with a softness in his eyes. A softness that made me want to w
