Chapter: Chapter 52LANDON’S POV“What was that?” I squinted my eyes at him, barely concealing my anger. Logan looked at me like I’d just asked the most ridiculous question ever. “What do you think? I just asked our mate to be my date to the end of year party. Got a problem with that?”“Guys, let’s not do this,” Annalise implored gently. Normally, I’d have listened to her. I didn’t want things to go more sour between us than they already were. But my brother was clearly doing everything he could to spite me. We were born like that—with a natural tendency for rivalry against each other. My mother said we’d been born with Logan holding firmly to my ankle on the way out of her womb. If I hadn’t come out first he’d have been first. So even before we were born, we’d been competing against each other. “Actually, I do have a problem with that, Logan,” I stated bluntly, my tone short and clipped. “Well, that really isn’t my business,” Logan answered dismissively. “So, Anna, love.. What’s it gonna be? Will y

Chapter: Chapter 51LANDON’S POVI couldn’t concentrate the whole time. I stole occasional glances at Annalise who seemed to be oblivious to the turmoil she’d flung me into by walking away from me earlier. I’d shouldered the weight of my father’s message by myself the whole time. It’d always been like that. I was going to take over after my father and so it came with a pressure to always live by his books. But I’d been on a rebellious streak lately, at least for as long as we’d been away from home. It as my idea to leave home for the normal world, to go to high school with normal kids. I wanted to spite my father—and I succeeded. Now, he’d held me by the scruff of my neck, knowing I believed too much in my destiny to do otherwise. To become alpha king, I had to return home—with a mate. I sighed for the hundredth time, looking down at my wristwatch. Annalise was taking too long inside the classroom. Knowing her records, she was a straight ‘A’ student, and she never spent any more time than she had to

Chapter: Chapter 50ANNALISE’S POVLandon never fully explained what the situation was with his father. He avoided the topic completely on most occasions and gave very offhanded explanations when he did attempt to answer my questions. But he couldn’t hide the worry eating away at his subconscious. I could see it whenever I looked at him, like a yellow speck in the middle of the beautiful green of his eyes. The exams dragged along to the final day and everyone was filled with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. I pressed my books on my chest and shut my eyes as I leaned backwards against the locker. “Hey, pretty face,” a voice interrupted me from up close, startling me in the process. “Logan?” I squinted my eyes in surprise. “Sorry. Did I scare you?” he smiled softly. “Did you? You’re the mind reading supernatural being here so why don’t you tell me,” I rolled my eyes. “You’ve grown quite the sharp tongue,” Logan commented with a playful smirk. We’d barely spoken a word to each other since the las

Chapter: Chapter 49(ANNALISE’S POV)I gulped nervously my throat drying up rapidly. Hard as I tried to answer the teacher who’d begun approaching my desk, I just couldn’t get my tongue to work.While I was still thinking, I heard the sound of an object hit the floor by foot. A pen—Landon’s pen. He nodded at me reassuringly and turned to face the approaching teacher. “She was saying that I’d dropped my pen, sir,” Landon offered. “What?” the teacher frowned in a mix of confusion and disbelief. “I dropped my pen and she pointed it out to me. That’s what hat happened, isn’t it, Annalise?” Landon asked, rising from his seat to pick the pen. “Umm.. yeah. That’s what I was trying to say,” I stuttered nervously. The teacher squints his eyes at us skeptically, his eyes assessing us with utmost scrutiny before he pushed his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. “Be more quiet about that in the future, Annalise, and Mr. Wayne do well to hold on to your writing materials in my hall. I hope I’ve made myself

Chapter: Chapter 48(ANNALISE’S POV)The air was still and quiet for a moment that stretched for an eternity. Logan’s eyes were squinting shut in rage, while Lucas held on a confused expression. Landon looked calm—too calm for the situation I’d just thrown him into. It felt like looking at a three way monitor showing the same person with the red different facial expressions. I felt a wave of goosebumps sprout along my forearm. Landon let out a sigh and turned to face me. “You shouldn’t have said that, Anna?”Logan didn’t seem to take his fist statement in to heat of the tendon so well. “What do you mean she shouldn’t have said that? What’s your problem? Why do you always feel special like you’re better than the both of us?”“Logan, we don’t have to do this here. Not in front of her,” Lucas leaned into his brother, trying to keep his voice down towards the last statement. “But I haven’t said anything wrong no ow, have I?” Logan cut in. Lucas slowly turned to face Landon and I. “Well if you haven’t mar

Chapter: Chapter 47LANDON’S POVI snow very wide once I spotted her walking out of the house. My eyes instinctively traveled to the window I’d only climbed out of moments ago. She rolled her eyes as she waited while a taxi shuttled down the street at the pace of a constipated sloth. I jumped out of the car and went round to the passenger side of the car to hold the door open for her. “You changed your mind, huh?” I teased. “My mum saw you, Landon. And I have a feeling she didn’t do that by accident. How else could she have missed the flashy teal colored sports car parked across the street,” she answered with heavy sarcasm. I shut the door and climbed back into the car after her. “Did she now? I thought she’d have known me already from our previous encounters.”“What previous encounters, Landon Wayne?” she queried, an eyebrow shut up in skepticism. “I may have left her a card or two back at the hospital,” I smiled sheepishly as I turned the keys in the ignition. Annalise looked at me like I’d ju

MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE
“If we were both in danger, who do you think Jared would save first?” She suddenly asked.
“What?”
I didn't have the opportunity to process her words because the next minute, I felt a push on my back and lost balance, skidding off the stairs to land at the base of the stairs.
*****************
Arielle had it all – a thriving career as a talented chef and a successful marriage to a Billionaire. While her husband was aloof by nature, she believed he cared for her deeply. She was content with their relationship, and appreciated what they shared.
A day to their third wedding anniversary, she discovered she was pregnant and was filled with excitement and hope. She eagerly anticipated sharing this news with her husband, certain it would bring positive changes to their family and perhaps even soften his reserved demeanor.
However, fate had other plans. Before she could reveal her pregnancy, an unexpected figure from her husband's past emerged – his “old friend”.
As this newcomer made her way into their lives, unbeknownst to Arielle, this unexpected arrival would challenge everything she thought she knew about her marriage, her husband,
and herself.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-twoJason's POV…It was all dark, unsettlingly so. Something just didn't feel right in this darkness, not like the idea of darkness itself was supposed to calm any sane human being. But I could only describe the feeling as a dread that seized a man who knew an inevitable wrong was about to happen, like standing on the tracks when an approaching train was blaring its horn from miles away.Yes. I was asleep. I'd fallen asleep somewhere between Arabella whining about how my busy schedule was getting in the way of our relationship as a family and the bitter bile in my mouth after a dinner I'd rather have not eaten.“Jason..”The voice filtered through my sleep. It sounded hauntingly familiar, like one I was trying so hard to forget. Like Rebecca's. My eyes snapped wide open instantly.I squinted at the flood of sunlight pouring into the room from the open windows. Somewhere in my head, I was still trying to recall whether or not I'd pulled the window blinds the night before, but my thoughts

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-oneJason's POV Enough of that pretentious wannabe woman already, I stopped myself. Instead of calling Arabella, I figured I'd just get her a gift instead. I really wanted things to work with her in the end. But just as I was about to give instructions to the driver, a message came in from her.“Elliot wants some chocolate truffles and vanilla ice cream. Please get them on your way back. And don't be home late.”Of course, I sighed. What was a whole day without a good old request from Arabella?By the time I finally got home, I was spent. Totally exhausted.I walked through the door expecting to find the usual stuff; a clean house, soft music playing through the in-built house sound system, and the aroma of good food dancing on the wings of some expensive scented candles. I tried not to think of Rebecca as these little details wafted into my memory. For years, she had always stood at the door, waiting for me to get home.It was almost like we'd rehearsed with a written script hidden some

Chapter: Chapter ThirtyJason's POV…“Jason? Are you still asleep? God! You're sleeping like a fucking log of wood,” Arabella grunted beside me.“I'm awake, Bella. I'm wide awake,” I sighed and turned to the side. It was only a few hours till morning and I'd barely slept a wink, all thanks to Arabella's whining. She made it a point of duty to present me with all the facts to convince me against returning to Detroit.“You know it's not cool to keep moving about with Elliot…”“You know I get sick on planes…”When she hit me with that line, I gave her a very modest and logical proposition. Money wasn't the issue.“I'll rent a whole ship if that makes you feel better, Bella…”Of course she wouldn't have any of it. And I wasn't ready to indulge her either.“Well if you're up why won't you just say something when I speak to you?” Arabella cut into my thoughts, the singsong pitch of her voice grating on the insides of my ears.“You do realise it's still four in the morning, Arabella?” I pointed out, my voice calm a

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-NineJason's POV...I cut her short abruptly, my head filling with anger. “I'll call you back in twenty minutes. If I have to wait longer than a second after the first ring for an answer we'll be talking with HR for your replacement.”I ended the call with a furious click on my screen and turned around to leave, one hand clutching Elliot tightly while the other threatened to squeeze my phone into a mess of electronic panels and silicon dust. Elliot struggled to keep the giant beach ball in his tiny grasp as it threatened to fall off to the ground.Thankfully, it managed to stay until we got to the little umbrella where Arabella was waiting.“Mommy! Mommy, see!” Elliot squirmed excitedly in my arms, moving around as he tried to get down from my hold even before I got close to where his mother was.“I've gotta go check on something back at the apartment,” I said, bending to drop Elliot down in the empty recliner beside her. Arabella flashed me a displeased frown. “What do you mean, Jason? I

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-eightJason's POV…“Daddy! I want a beach ball!” Elliot cried, his tiny voice ringing shrilly though the sea spiced air on the beach.I forced my lips into a tight smile, hanging on to the small that came with being called “daddy” by Arabella's kid. It's only a matter of time now, I thought to myself, counting down the moments until he finally started treating me as more than just a source of gifts and fancy things. For reasons I couldn't explain, he seemed to have picked that up. Could it have been something Arabella told him?Okay, Jason. You're thinking too much, I caught myself.I couldn't have stayed silent for long anyway, not with Elliot pulling wildly at the scruff of my long sleeved shirt.“Can we get him the beach ball, Jason?” Arabella sighed, briefly taking her eyes off her phone.I opened my mouth to say something about the request, especially because the beach ball in question was twice as big as the regular one, something better suited to bigger children or even adults. But I

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-sevenRebecca's POV…My eyes fluttered open but I shut them almost immediately as the first rays of the morning light filtered into the room through the partings in the window blinds. I paused to feel the headache in my head but heaved a sigh of relief when I couldn't find any pain.In fact, I felt better. A lot better.I pulled my legs down to the floor and walked over to the bathroom with a spring to my steps. I couldn't shake off the genuine smile stretching across my lips as I prepared to head downstairs for breakfast.“There she is. The princess of this old stone castle finally decides to grace us with her gracious presence,” Vance teased from the dining table, his pearly white teeth sparkling in a boyish grin.“Are we still playing Princess and handservant?" I giggled with a little shake of my head. I walked down the winding stairs, feeling warm in my heart at the sight of my family waiting at the dining table for me.“It's Princess and her overly dotting big brother now, missy,” Va
