Chapter: Chapter eighty one: Alice and Graham EmberI had no idea what she'll be saying next but I want to hear it so bad I've never wanted to hear anything. Astrid is a mess. I'm even messier as I felt as if my soul had flown away from me, leaving me with a faint energy and bigger curiosity.“I'm the bad guy, a shameless whore who slept with her step daughter's mate on the full moon, then went home to kill her father because I wanted to keep it a secret, because I hated her a lot, yeah? I even fell in love with her mate, got pregnant with his child, I admitted the latter, but the former, I'm never admitting to it because I didn't do it, I was just one of the people involved in the plan, and we all did it to protect you! Derek, Rowan, me… all of us, yet, you've been living your best life during these four years without any hassle while we threaded thin ice here… but what's fate really? Something Derek believed his death would change, something I believe your hatred would change, something even your mother Renee believed she coul

Chapter: Chapter eighty: Never the killerEmberI stood there, heart racing, as Astrid appeared in the doorway. The moment she saw me, her brow furrowed, a frown settling across her face. She clutched her round belly as if it could shield her from whatever she was feeling. There was a tension in the air, with a mix of worry and something else I couldn't quite decipher at that moment.Astrid’s hand paused on the door, ready to slam it shut, but I stepped in her way. Her glare could have burned a hole through me.“What are you doing here?” she shot back.“I’m not here because I want to be,” I said, keeping my voice calm. “If I’d known it was your place, I would’ve turned around. But since I’m here, I need answers. What happened four years ago?”The silence between us was heavy with unspoken words. I could see the conflict in her eyes—anger mixed with something deeper. However I wasn’t about to back down; I needed to know, I didn't came all the way here to be slammed the door upon on, all my prejudice against her was temporarily

Chapter: Chapter seventy nine: Unknown father EmberI threw two dresses into the mini box, grabbed a few necessities, and finally took my spare toothbrush, just in case. After zipping it up, I carried it out. Lyra was solemnly wiping Kai's body with a wet towel. I exhaled. I can't back away now—I have to go. I walked up to his side and crouched next to him. “Mommy, is that you?” His little fingers landed on my cheeks, and with all my strength, I pressed back my sobs, whispering in a broken voice, “Yes, baby, it's your mommy.” “Lyra said you're going to be back soon.” He took a short pause, blinking rapidly as he stared at my face before eventually asking, “Are you leaving me alone?” “No, baby, I would never do that. The thing is, Mommy has to get you chocolates, a bunch of them.” “I… don’t want chocolates. I only want Mommy.” Streaks of tears ran down my face, and this time I didn’t wipe them off. Instead, I let them flow freely. “I’m sorry, baby… Mommy is really sorry you're going through this. You know what? Mommy

Chapter: Chapter seventy eight: In your careEmberI kept staring at the letter with wide eyed, confused; first I had know idea how this got here, secondly how the heck did the person knew that I wants answers, answers to everything, the gut feeling is gnawing on me, yet I always finds a make believe to rid that thought, just like this letter stated that I wanted answers.But what answers would I probably want? What answers do I really seek? Why can't I say it, why don't I know it. I stared at the address which clearly reads a house in Arizona. Do I really want to do this? Honestly, I have no idea, whatever this is, whatever will come from it, but I folded it and put it back going out of the room to the yard. For some peace and quiet, maybe I could fatten my thoughts and come up with a reasonable plan on how to help my son get better. And maybe I could even go back to Arizona, in contrast to the fact that the man had come all the way from Arizona to Florida to look for me, but since I pushed him away, he definitely must've go

Chapter: Chapter seventy seven: All you need to know EmberAfter Maverick was gone, I couldn't make sense of what's going on. I washed my face in the bathroom, swinging back my hair to get off the water that drenched it, eventually grabbing a towel and wrapped it around my head like a burrito. Exhaling, I walked out of my room to check Lyra's door which was still very much locked, thus has been on lock since the moment she stormed out of my face in the sitting room.I walked into the sitting room to touch Kai's forehead, he was still burning up, but not as hot as he was when I'd come back. He wasn't supposed to get sick again since Lyra got him the herbs that had kept his condition stabilized since we came back to Florida, so I never have to bother about looking for the man, however hearing the news earlier was not only a blow to me, but it makes me even more panicked. And thankfully, having him around for a few seconds reduces the boy's temperature, however, now I can't really tell for sure because he's a little hot now doesn't mean

Chapter: Chapter seventy six: AliceMaverickI had planned tonight to be very colourful and bright so Ember could enjoy it as much as she wants, after having Alex scout around for one of the biggest and beautiful beach around here I had shut down the whole place so we can have all the time— Alone, and I was glad she really came looking stunning in her dress.I had made sure to also reserve the top floor of the restaurant on the island where I hoped we'll spend the night, but she was so curious to know what I have in store, however I was determined to not share it with her.We got off the yacht and made for the building, however her phone rang, but just after the call ended she was trembling. Her face turned so pale that I had to calm her down. She wanted me to follow her, which I did without a second thought. The sound of that boy going sick affected me so much that I yelled at the sailor to get the Yacht moving again.When we got out of the car, I was really surprised to see the familiar environment we're in. Why would

His Reluctant Bride: Contracted To My Enemy
"Let me go," I snapped, even though my voice wasn’t as sharp as I wanted it to be.
“No,” he growled, lips grazing the shell of my ear, his breath warm and wicked as his hand slid down, fingers pressing just above my thigh, and trailed all the way to my wet fold.
“You want to hate this, don’t you?” he whispered, mouth trailing hot kisses along my neck as his hand shifted my underwear, “But your body’s begging, baby.”
I gasped, lips parting, and before I could spit out a comeback, he crushed his mouth to mine.
The kiss was rough, full of hunger, and I whimpered into his mouth before I could stop myself.
My body pressed into his, desperate for more.
But he suddenly pulled both his lips and hand back, “Say the word and I’ll stop.”
I stared at him. My chest was rising and falling too fast. My lips were swollen. My thighs, God, I was throbbing.
I want, I need.
He pressed a knee between my legs and my and I mewed.
Yes, me. I mewed like some needy, pathetic bitch in heat. For him.
"That’s what I thought," he growled, and the next second he pinned both my wrists above my head and kissed me like he was trying to ruin me all over again.

Chapter: Fierce elegance Liora“I’m sorry,” I whispered.It felt strange, almost wrong, letting those words leave my mouth. I never thought I’d say them to him, not after everything. But standing here now, looking at him, I knew I couldn’t hold them back anymore.Because no matter how much I tried to fight it, I couldn’t deny the truth. had seen it with my own eyes, the document Dad had kept, the one that held the original ownership of FYS.I know that I still need to talk to Florence about this, even if she doesn’t want to hear me. And Caleb… even if he doesn’t want to see me either.“You don’t have to say sorry… it was never your fault,” he said softly.But somehow, those words only made my chest tighten more. Because all I could think of was, Is this what it’s always been like for him? Carrying everything alone? Has he always been this kind, even when I convinced myself he wasn’t?“You should hate me,” I whispered, shaking my head. “Not… not tell me not to say sorry.”“Yes, I should,” he answered without h

Chapter: SorryTristan “I think I'll go and check on David.” Dante said, excusing himself before I asked him to do it. After he's gone, Liora walked to the bed and then sat at the lower edge of the bed, so I could no longer read her expression. “So the woman is your mother.” She said after what seemed like a minute.“Was.” I corrected. She hummed in response and said, “Can I see her?” “Why?” I asked in a low voice.She didn’t answer right away. Her hands rested flat against the edge of the bed, her fingers tightening slightly, then loosening again.“Because I want to know,” she said finally.I shifted against the pillows, “Seeing her won’t change what she’s done, Liora. It won’t even make it easier.”Her head tilted, still turned away from me. “Maybe not.”For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. She didn’t understand, I didn’t want her to. The things my mother left behind weren’t scars that healed; they were rot that spread the more you looked at them.“Liora…” I let her name slip out, a warning, a p

Chapter: let her goTristan Dante rushed into the room, his eyes coming directly to where I was on the hospital bed before sighing in relief as though a great burden had been lifted off him.“Did you see Liora?” I asked him“She ran out not long ago.” He answered, coming closer to the bed. I leaned back against the pillows, letting out a slow exhale. My chest felt tight, uncomfortably so. “And you just let her go?”“She didn’t want to be stopped,” he said simply, but there was a hint of guilt in his voice. “Besides, if I’d tried, I think she would’ve bitten my head off right there.”No doubt about that.I rubbed the bridge of my nose. This wasn’t good. Liora running meant her head was spinning, and when her head spun, she never slowed down until she hit something hard. But maybe that's exactly what she needs. So,I hummed in response, shifting a little to the left to adjust my sleeping position as I shut my eyes. He remained there, not once walking away like I thought he would, until eventually I open

Chapter: The wrong person LioraI stumbled out of the hospital room, my chest tight, my head so full it felt like it might split open. Everything inside me was a mess, anger, disbelief, fear, twisting together until I couldn’t even tell them apart anymore.I didn’t want to hear another word from Tristan. Not one. Because whatever he was saying… it wasn’t making sense. None of this made sense.And yet… the thing I saw, his face, my dad’s signature, it was too clear to be fake. No one could forge that. Not like that.I hated that Tristan was right about one thing. I didn’t want to believe Dad could do any of those things. I couldn’t.The bright lights in the reception stung my eyes, and before I could get far, Dante stepped right into my path.“Mrs. Cole, why the hurry? Is everything alright in there?”“I…” My throat felt tight. “I just need to get out of here.”His brows knit together. “Did the boss say something? You don’t look fine.”“I’m fine,” I lied, shaking my head quickly. “I just need air.”He glanced t

Chapter: A monster Tristan End of flashback.When I looked up, Liora was standing there in the hospital room, her eyes fixed on me like she was trying to read my mind. She was waiting for me to talk… but I didn’t even know where to start.Because how do you decide which part of your life you can tell without breaking someone?The truth is, some truths aren’t meant to be shared. They’re meant to be buried deep, so deep that no one ever finds them. Sometimes it’s kinder to let a person live in the dark than hand them a truth that will destroy them. “Start talking now,” she said again, sharper this time, snapping her fingers in front of me like she could pull me out of my head.I glanced toward the door, almost praying a nurse would walk in, interrupt her, give me a reason to escape this. But the hallway stayed empty. No one was coming to save whatever I had to say.“I was Deimos,” I said finally. My voice came out slower than I intended. “But now… I’m Tristan.” I said as a matter of fact “Yeah?” she sa

Chapter: FlipTristan I stayed by the doorway, behind the potted plants, not sure if I should step in or just go back outside to wait for dad.“I have no choice, alright? And if you’ll just listen to me, ” the man's voice came from inside, shaky, like he already knew it wouldn’t change anything.“Explain exactly what?” Mom didn’t even let him finish. “Answer me, what exactly do you want to explain!?”She was pacing, back and forth, back and forth, like she was trying to make sense of something in her head but couldn’t get there. Her hands wouldn’t stay still.“It was a plain accident… I don’t know… I just--” Nat tried, but his voice kept tripping over itself.She looked at him like she couldn’t believe he was even standing there. Then she just snapped.“Of course you wouldn’t know! Of course you wouldn’t know how she ended up on the bed and you were moaning her name! Of course you wouldn’t!”She pressed her hand to her face, breathing hard, like she was trying to pull herself together.He reached
