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: Lust. Want. NeedLiora“Quite hungry, aren't you?” His hoarse laugh was the last thing I remembered before his lips crashed against mine, but I had to admit that it felt so amazing. So amazingly wrong and yet so good. So good that It had no right to feel this good, not with this man. The kiss was sloppy and wet, and I hated how much I was enjoying it, how my body writhed against his, and I couldn't believe how much I needed this. It felt obscene. However, it ended just as quickly as it started. His hands hovered just inches from me, like he didn’t want to touch without permission, even now. His breath was warm against my skin, his knuckles ghosting the curve of my waist. And yet… he still hadn’t moved.And that made me want to taunt him.“You’re all talk,” I said softly, smug even, thinking I had him right where I wanted. “I knew it. You freeze when it really counts.”His head tilted, and for a second, something flickered in his eyes, something dark. Not anger exactly… something heavier.“That's s

Chapter: HeatLioraHe dropped to his knees in front of me.At first, he didn’t say anything, just looked up, his dark eyes catching mine for a second too long, like he was reading something off my face. Something even I didn’t know I was showing.Then he lowered his gaze and reached for my foot.And goodness... His fingers were warm, bare, although not smooth; roughened a bit from years of being busy, always doing something. And when they brushed against my ankle, just briefly, I felt it.A jolt.Not pain.Just… heat.My breath hitched, so quietly it almost didn’t exist, but I felt it in my chest. And I hated that I felt it. Hated that something as simple as his touch could make me feel anything at all.But still, I didn’t pull back.I just sat there silently watching him as he unhooked one heel, then perfectly removed that one successfully.Moving to the second heel, his fingers reached for the buckle slowly, carefully. Not because he had to be, but because he wanted to be. Teasing. Testing. Any

Chapter: On your kneesTristan Allen did this on purpose. There's no doubt about it because why else would he bring Sophia here? To this place of all places.knowing damn well I’d be here? I mean it was now clear that this wasn’t a coincidence. I should’ve known the moment I saw the car he brought. The same one I’d recognize anywhere. After all, it was one of the properties he owned here and very much loved to flaunt it.Trailing him here, I had thought I had the upper hand.Turns out I walked right into his.And seeing him sitting there, all casual and smug like he hadn’t just lit a fuse under a powder keg? Made my blood boil.I didn’t even wait. I asked him out of the table by his arm, ignoring the way Sophia’s perfectly arched brow lifted and Liora’s eyes followed us. I dragged him toward the back hallway of the lounge where it was quieter, where I was sure that I wouldn’t lose it in front of everyone.The moment we were out of sight, I turned to face him, “What the hell was that about?”Allen straighte

Chapter: Sophia Blakes Liora“What is she doing here?” Tristan asked, his voice low, but sharp like the calm before a very dangerous storm.Allen didn’t flinch. In fact, he looked far too pleased with himself. “I did mention a business partner would be joining us, didn’t I?” he replied smoothly, as if this wasn’t some deliberate setup.What’s all this fuss about? And who’s this she that the two are growling about? The only way I could get an answer to that is seeing the person, so I turned slightly, just to get a glimpse.But I didn’t need to turn far.Because before I could even process what was happening, the woman was already standing beside me, her perfume arriving a second before she did, it was sweet, overwhelming, way too deliberate.“I guess I must’ve dressed so gorgeously today that heads just keep turning my way,” she said with a bright, toothy smile, flipping her hair like we were all extras in her little show.I blinked.And rolled my eyes so fast I almost gave myself whiplash.Really?She took

Chapter: Stalker?TristanI wasn’t a stalker.Let’s just get that straight.I mean, yeah, I might've left the house about an hour before the time Allen said he'd come pick her up. And sure, I may have parked a few blocks away to wait like some creep in a blacked-out car.But that doesn’t make me a stalker. Right?This was... Just preventative for the fact that I was simply making sure the bastard didn’t get the chance to fill her head with whatever twisted fairy tales he’s been cooking up.Definitely not because he looks at her like she’s some kind of dessert tray, every time, like he’s already chosen which part to sink his teeth into first.Nope. Not because of that.But I have to say the wait was miserable as several cars passed me by without any being his, but then I saw his car. The silver one, and the only one he actually has here, after all he possibly can't have his cars on the plane he took here. He might look like it, even act like it, but he's the type who wants a quiet life, that is media o

Chapter: Not a chapter To you. Yes you. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Honestly. Whether you accidentally stumbled in here or came looking for something messy, emotional, or just a little spicy, but what mattered is the fact that you stayed. And that means the world. There aren’t many of you yet , but every time I see that someone read, liked, or followed… my heart does this weird little happy dance I can’t quite explain. This story? It’s personal. And although might be a little raw in places. And sometimes I second-guess every other sentence I write. But knowing someone out there is following along? That makes it all worth it. So thank you for giving this story a chance. For giving me a chance. Stick around, because things are only just starting to get juicy. And although I might not be the best, but I will try my best to be. With love, Hannie
