Chapter: Chapter 108: Is this a Reunion?THALIA I woke up alone this morning, Arabella was gone, so was Knox, and the house was moderately empty. I hate that I have to spend so long here alone, I need to be back at work, I'm not used to being idle. I spent half an hour talking Amara through her next court case, one she's picked up out of boredom. After that, I slipped into the kitchen for something to eat, but as I entered, Amara called again and I had to sit down and answer her call. She needed clarification on another case again. “I miss you so much,” she whines, twirling a pen in her hand. Amara hasn't come to visit me here often unless it's Ryan for whom she's here. She sticks to calling me daily and ordering me food so that I know she hasn't forgotten about me. “I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms,” she gasps. “I'm shaking without you.” “As if,” I snort. “You're not thinking of me at all, you have Ryan there and he's wrapped around your little finger.” “That is because we're in love,” she says, her cheeks flu

Chapter: Chapter 107: Why do you want to steal my daddy?THALIA I still can't wrap my head around today, none of it seems real, but the lump in my throat since we got back to the pack house is enough to feel reality in. I didn't cry in front of Knox, I took my medication as instructed by Dr Avery and when he left me to myself? I cried a little. I fell asleep for a few minutes but when I awakened, I started to cry again, both sad and happy tears. I'm coming down from the high of it when my bedroom door creeps open and I am still, trying to create the illusion that I'm asleep but that doesn't last long. I sit up when I realise it's not Knox but in fact Arabella Venus. I hastily wipe my tears on the sleeve of Knox's hoodie before turning the lights on. “Hi,” I say, watching her still at the entrance. She looks nervous, she's been this way around me for a while now and it's also the reason I'm looking forward to moving out soon. I don't like making her uncomfortable in her home, Knox probably told her about the baby and she might be going t

Chapter: Chapter 106: What Happened?“I don't like her, Daddy.” she pouts. “I don't want to talk to her, she's not a very nice person. Grandma says she's trying to steal you from mommy.” “Nobody is stealing anyone from your mommy,” I tell her, lifting her chin so she's looking at me. “Tell me, who would steal me? They can't even carry me.” I jest, making both girls laugh. “Are the guests really gone?” Arabella asks, moderately concerned. I didn't know she had gotten close to any of them, but when I nod, she releases a breath of relief. “Good, I can stop hiding my scent, now. Mommy was scared they'd take me if they smelled me and my gift,” she whispers. I pause, realizing I've neglected my daughter a little bit these past few days. How did I not notice my daughter was hiding her scent this entire time? I merely thought she didn't want to be around strangers but Bella loves strangers, and she took to Florentina just fine. My mind was was occupied that I didn't even think of what could happen if Mrs B scented Arabella Ve

Chapter: Chapter 105: Take Care Of Her“You have unfinished business here,” Greg says, averting eye contact still. “You're welcome home anytime darling but I think you're happier here.” “No,” I shake my head. “I'm not,” I whine, sounding like a toddler throwing a tantrum. “Flore, pack.” Greg says, “I'll take care of our bags.” “Let me call our private jet for you, please it'll make Thalia feel better.” Knox offers, and I scream, rising to my feet. Both he and Greg are making decisions for me, ye ones I can make on my own. “Shut up, you don't know what makes me happy,” I snap. “Stop speaking for me! I'm going with my mom.” KNOX I told Thalia she couldn't leave and her stepfather agreed with my decision, everyone but Nova was in favour of her staying. She's very upset about us making the choice for her but I don't have an issue with her leaving, my fear remains that she'll never come back to Flame Valley, to me. I would let her go but only with me, and Mrs B would hate to have me around, even though she's unable

Chapter: Chapter 104: Whose Blood Is That?I roll my eyes, “You obviously want them to be boys because you already have a girl.” I painfully swallow, I could've, no, scratch that I should have had one too. “I want a boy and a girl but since they're identical, I want girls.” I smile, imagining myself with two. I know it's been years but I still want and need my little girl. I don't think grieving should last this long. “And if they're boys?” Knox asks, studying me intently now that he's safely packed. I shrug, “That's fine too.” The thought of a mini Knox is appealing, but there's nothing I can do about the gender. Whatever it is, they'll still be mine and I will love them like I did their sister. “If these two end up being boys, we can have two more girls.” “No thanks. Two is a good number. I can stop at that, and besides, if we fight? We each get one.” I tease, opening my door. Knox doesn't move. He appears to need time to do something. I don't know what, so I leave him, heading into the house to find my Mom. I pau

Chapter: Chapter 103: Two BabiesTHALIA Knox woke me up early this morning because my doctor is going away for a few days. Rather than transferring me to another physician, we opted to have the appointment today. Mom wanted to come, but I couldn't wake her up that early, and I also didn't want my Mom throwing stones at Knox the entire time. Two hours, and three internal pep talks later, I lay in the exam room, staring at the ceiling while Knox silently sits beside me. Doctor Avery is preparing for the ultrasound, also silent but the machine humming fills that up for us. I think we're all scared of what we'll see. I've had time to adjust to the idea of being pregnant but the fear of my actions and body failing my baby lingers fresh from the last time I got an ultrasound. I feel like I’m standing on the edge of something big I can’t name, and at any second, I could fall but this time I just won't be hurt, I'm going to die. “Okay, now let us take a look,” Dr Avery says gently gliding the ultrasound wand over m

Chapter: Chapter 73: His Wife “Really?” Alessandra scoffs. “So what was that?” she taps her cheek, pretending to think over something for a second before she speaks again. “Oh, right... Alessandra was convenient, she didn't come with unnecessary baggage.” I still do, so does Enzo. I know those words, so does he, but how does Alessandra know them? “Where did you hear that?” he asks her, his gaze momentarily shifting to me. “From you, the morning after you professed your love for me,” she says, something unfamiliar flickering in her gaze. I'm not good with emotions, I wasn't necessarily around kids or normal people enough to decipher real emotion but I would guess? I'd say she's hurting, but not a single tear has left her eyes so I'm confused. “You shouldn't have heard that,” Enzo tells her. “Really?” she scoffs. “Thanks.” “He didn't mean that,” I chime in, and that's the truth. What she heard was a conversation forged between us, made for someone else's ears. “Don't stick up for him,” she says, sha

Chapter: Chapter 72: Where Did You Hear That?AlessioToday was eventful, we had a meeting with the godfather early morning, and a shipment got intercepted sometime in the afternoon where one of our drivers went missing and the other got beaten half to death.The only thing I had to look forward to was tonights poker game, a weekly gathering between friends and potential acquaintances but for some reason, Enzo refused to come to our poker night despite me promising him a little show. I could have easily taken no for an answer but showing up without him made no sense this I went to his house to convince him and say hi to my sister-in-law. I've not seen Ale as much as I'd like lately and I fear it's taking from the trauma bond I'm trying to build with her. Thankfully, the moment she saw me, she was very excited and welcoming, and to think Enzo used her non-existent bad mood to get out of our poker date.We had a few drinks together while Enzo was in the shower, and now she's in the shower while I chat with Enzo, desperately trying

Chapter: Chapter 71: You Should Apologize I give in to her, we leave and two hours later, we are back in the comfort of our home. I know my grandfather will be upset with me tomorrow when he gets wind of what happened today and so will father but what matters is I saved my wife. She hasn't said a word to me the entire ride home and it's felt like a like punishment I don't deserve. She should be happy I saved her, happy I didn't put in bullet in Luca Romano but instead she's focused on my very much valid crash out as she called it earlier in the car. She storms into the house, practically stomping her way into the kitchen and like the loyal dog I am for her, I follow her. She glares at me as she opens the refrigerator, shuffling through only to emerge with a bottle of water. “Are you still upset with me?” “Yes!” she instantly retorts. “I don't even want to look at you right now, how could you do that to Luca?” “I was only setting him straight.” I counter, still not seeing any wrong in my actions. This is the least temper

Chapter: Chapter 70: Foiled PlanAlessandra The moment Enzo disappears from my sight and Father sends me a message, it's random letters and numbers, a code conversation that only we two can decipher. I nod at him when I see it, my chest heavy with guilt at the thought of what I'm about to do. I don't want to do this, I don't want to make Enzo appear like he can't take care of me when it's clear that he can, in a room full of over a hundred people, he noticed I had gone away and he looked for me so he could take care of me, he knows the triggers of my attacks better than I do. Maybe he doesn't love me, but Luna was right, it's me that isn't fulfilling the wedding vows here, Enzo has fulfilled his and I'm the treacherous wife. I want out, even as I leave the crowd and head up to the rooftop where the men meant to kidnap me are waiting. There are a few other people, drinking and chattering amongst themselves, my brother Luca happens to be in the crowd as well. “Mrs Valenti,” A waiter in all black says, extending hi

Chapter: Chapter 69: Let's StayI spend the rest of the night or more accurately the next two hours watching my wife. She's been busy, and everyone wants a word with her, I've noticed some men use their wives to approach her in hopes of getting to me but Dom's wife is quick to fend them off, she's been in the spotlight long enough to work them. Sasha is more popular than the birthday boy, about five minutes into another useless partnership offer, I notice Alessandra is gone from her previous table. Don Castillo is still talking despite my evident distraction from the conversation. My eyes wander around the room, trying to find my wife but there's no sight of her. “Excuse me—” I say, leaving the Don with Alessio who tells him to carry on with his blubbering. I don't find Alessandra in the crowd, I start to look for one woman from her clique, the easiest to find being Renata because she refused to wear a mask, claiming her face is meant to be seen not disguised. I share the same sentiment for my wife, but I don't wa

Chapter: Chapter 68: Putting the BD in BDSM“You’ll have to beg harder than that, wife. I'm going to bring you to tears before you come and when you do?” he trails off, leaning closer, so close I feel his breath against my skin. “Then you'll thank me with a mouthful of my cum like a good little slut.” He turns me onto my back, ropes tugging tight over my chest and thighs. Then he flips me. “You’re not allowed to come until I say so.” My eyes widen. “What?” “You heard me.” He says, down, his fingers caressing my skin. “You don’t get to come. Not until I give you permission.” I nod, breathless and desperate for more. He lays kisses on my inner thighs all the way to the middle, sucking my clit into his mouth. I gasp, needing to touch him, to be touched more but he doesn't give it to me right away. I can feel myself dripping onto the bed even before Enzo's tongue graces my pussy again licking me slowly where I ache, just his mouth. His tongue is slow, deliberate, dragging circles that build and build until I’m shakin

Chapter: 11“Yeah,” Alison seconds, neither one willing to drop the traumatic night I Just went through, one I don't want them to know about. “A client was desperately looking for you, Rocky sent him to me and I had to tell me you're going home so he would stop pestering g me. For a while, I thought he attacked you but here you are.” “So you're the reason he found me?” I frown, slightly grateful she decided to tell a stranger I went home mere minutes after I had left the club, digressing from my safety. Alison gasps, “You were with him? Oh my God, Starr, he is so fucking hot!” “Hey!” Kade snaps, glaring at her with unasked jealousy. I can't help but laugh at the irony, “Wait, so you're fine with her stripping naked for men but calling them hot is crossing the line?” “Forget him,” Alison rolls her eyes, hoping into his lap to snuggle him. “Tell me everything!” she squeals, annoying Kade furthermore. “Starr, dish, wh

I understand her playing the amnesia game but suggesting I have ever desired another woman makes me furious, she's the only one. Before her, I didn't even know I could feel so deeply, I didn't know I could lose until I lost her. “Oh my bad, women.” she grins sweetly, correcting one mistake with a bigger one. “Not even women, just you.” I tell her, “You're the only woman who has ever caught my attention, the only one I've bothered to drop on my knees for.” “You are not on your knees, you're in bed, sleeping, but you did shoot. Man for me so I'm flattered.” “That so?” I smirk, watching her for a reaction. “I'll shoot plenty more then.” “You're funny,” she rolls her eyes, snorting a laugh. “By the way why do you have a Gun on you?” “For situations like those.” “Ah, I k

My legs are shaking, like they might give out beneath me. “I'm not leaving you alone, you were attacked.” “You shot him.” I gulp, the thought only now sinking in. Nobody has ever shot someone for me, not even my brother. “I'll drop you off at home.” he offers, and I shake my head. “Okay, then you're coming to my hotel with me.” What? His hotel, is he expecting sex as a thank you? I do understand he just saved my life but the sex is too far, who asks for it as a thank you? “I'm not going to touch you,” he says, as if hearing my thoughts. “I'll even book a room for you but I'm not leaving you in the street.” “Okay.” I nod. “You'll tell me your address?” “I'll go with you to the hotel,” I say, I can't put everyone else at risk, but Kade I'm okay with putting at risk. This man had a gun, he could potentially finish the job the other one left unfinished but for some reason, I trust he won't. ADRIAN Someon

I've been getting shit for my name since I was little so I'm unbothered, there's nothing I've not heard before about it. “Of course it is.” I nod, the only other Stars I've met are those in the sky. “How long have you been working here?” he asks, kissing his teeth. “three years,” I instantly reply. He shifts in his head, suddenly more intrigued. “And before that?” “I worked at a club offshore for about three years, and before that, I was a failed ballerina.” I giggle, the memory bittersweet. I loved ballet, I was supposed to be a classical ballet dancer but then my brother fucked up his life, and I fucked mine over trying to save him, after all that, the idiot couldn't even live. “How old are you, Starr?” Mr Moretti asks, stealing me from my memories. “Twenty-seven, " I blurt out, shocking myself.
