Chapter: chapter 29Amelia POV"Seattle Hospital, room 24."That was what the text said. I tried so hard to understand what was happening.Would Ashley even know that Daniel was the one who did it and not his mum?I stop at the receptionist's desk. She gives me a warm smile. "Ma'am, who are you here to see?""Ashley. Ashley Lockwood. I am her sister-in-law."She nods slowly and types on her laptop. "She is on the second bed. Take a turn to the right."I nod, smiling at her. "Thank you."I put on my face mask and walk towards the ward. The strong smell of drugs and antiseptic hits my nostrils.The last time I walked through the walls of a hospital willingly was when my grandma had died.The last time I was here, I was brought in unconscious and left without my child.It was strange that I was walking toward the same woman who had made me lose my child.My hand moves to my stomach. I can still feel the emptiness that came with it.I push the door open, smiling at the first patient, and then move to the nex

Chapter: chapter 28Amelia POVImmediately Daniel walks out of the door, I zero my gaze to Ivan."Please tell me you are not working with Kayden."He snorts, ignoring me as he takes a seat. My anger boils within my veins. I can feel myself getting riled up with every minute that passes."Ivan, I asked you a question. Are you working with my husband?""No," he answers.Nonchalantly, like he is discussing the cool weather."No? So tell me, how did you know about Daniel and Ashley? How did you get the cameras? How did you know he was the one, and most importantly, why did you not tell me about it?"He takes a piece of paper lying on the table and folds it into a boat. A paper boat.He knows he is getting on my nerves and he is clearly savouring the moment.He turns to me with the boat in his hand. "You used to be very good at crafting boats."I roll my eyes. "Every child could make a boat out of paper. Don't disgust me."He nods slowly and cocks his head slightly. "And you never made just one boat, Amelia.

Chapter: chapter 27Daniel POVI let out a short laugh. "Ashley?" I ask.The old man stares, still looking at me, not blinking an eye."What do you mean I put Ashley in Amelia's car? I would never ever do that."This has to be some crappy lie because I remember leaving Ashley at home, in the room, the same room with the boy that my mum had made me kill. He was unconscious. I always stab a little place by her hands to make sure she is alive, and she is alive but unconscious.So there is no way that would ever happen. I would never do that.Besides, this deal is a very important aspect of my life.It is a way to get me out of poverty and also make me closer to Amelia, which has been my goal.Except…Wait. I turn to him. "Old man, are you trying to frame me?" I ask."It's Ivan," Amelia cuts in, her voice stern, more cold than usual.Fuck! She is angry.Just when I thought I had made a step closer to gaining her trust, this man comes in and tries to frame me.I brush her response off. I walk towards where he

Chapter: chapter 26Amelia POV“You would be assisting me. Making sure that we stay a lot and then release a publication to the press that you don't have a new consignee and that the words your mum has published were pure defamation of the character definition,” I toss the contact towards Dnaile who is sitting opposite me, tapping his hands against the table continuously.He looks at the paper and then at me, his eyes carrying some deceitful warmth. “No”I pause “What?”“I said no.” He sits up, staring directly at me. “You want me to work for you? Fine. I would do that. I would forever be at your service to redeem myself for what happened years ago. But this…” He pauses, pointing at the agreement.“It's basic”I almost laughed. How the hell did an agreement become basic in any way whatsoever?“It was an agreement Daniel. Stand by your words for once and sign the papers. Don't get me angry, okay?”He nods “I know you want me to sign the papers, and I would sign them, but I want it to be amended. I need i

Chapter: chapter 25Kayden POV“Turns out he is sicker than he looks” I toss a box of cigarettes to IvanHe stares at it and shakes his head. The old man thinks people who smoke will die in a month.He picks it up and throws it at me “You know I don't some Kayden”I laugh shaking my head “No, I don't know that. But I do know that you are a recovering addict which is why your idea of an addict dying early is so funny, because then you would be dead and not here”He tolls his eyes and heaves a sigh. He sits upright, his eyes meeting mine “Are you going to tell her”“What?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.“You know what I mean. Are you going to tell Katherine that Daniel was not the one who sent her to jail, nor is he the one who caused the fire?”I shrug “No” I say without mincing words.He scoffs. I know he is about to rain on me with some fake fatherly advice about trust and all. But I have made up my mind.Amelia is mineWould stay mine no matter what happens.And I would make it happen.No matter what it

Chapter: chapter 24Kayden POVThere are two things I hate more than anything. One, a coward who thinks he is the most clever soul ever.Two, a mafia don who steps on my toes.And here is the thing about me: people whom I hate never ever survive.My eyes are on his neck, like those of Dmitri, as he takes a pretentious sip of the wine we served him.The glass is on his lips while his eyes are on my chest. Thinking of a way to find out if I have a bulletproof vest or not.We have been doing these for the last thirty minutes. Since I asked, “Who should I kill first? Your men or you." He finally clears his throat. “You see, that is a bold statement for someone who came here with no one with him. "Nobody"“And need I remind you that you are in my territory, in my given house?” I ask, my eyes not leaving his.He nods and takes a good glance at the house. “This is a shit hole and not a house. You know where your house is. It is in London with your beautiful wife, whom we have under our eyes. You hurt me, man;

Chapter: Chapter 65Grim POVMy eyes move from Meredith who is kneeling beside Damien with chains wrapped around her, marks and bruises decorated her body so much that it became a part of her body. Her blue eyes meet mine, filled with tears. My heart aches at the sight before me.“Brother” she calls out with a smile. “You…you are here. You came for me” sh says with a weak smile, a smile that stopped at her cheeks.I swallow hard. She called me Brother. Even after all these years, after what I did to get she still calls me brother. And here u thought I lost her and now I am here seeing her.Hunter runs from behind, his eyes widened as he stares at Meredith. He rushes towards her but is stopped by a wall. “Meredith please let me in” he begs in a trembling voice. I have never seen him this weak before.Meredith glares at him with her blood shot eyes. *Get the hell out of here” she spat out her voice filled with anger. Hunter's shoulder fell immediately “Meredith…please…i am sorry..please” he pleaded.“Sorr

Chapter: Chapter 64Chapter whateverOlivia POV“Meredith?” I repeat to myself.What The hell is she doing here. I thought she was in my pack under Alpha Killian's lock and chain? Or did she escaped and fall into the wrong hands again. How did Damien get to her and I thought she was a witch. Why did she decide not to run away. Gosh, I pray she escape. I pray they don't catch her because if they do it would get worse for Grim. He might be forced to go aged with the so called marriage with Diana and that would serious break my heart into pieces. If they have Meredith, they have hunter and Grim on choke hold and I know for sure that he would not sacrifice me for his little sister. He would never do so. Maybe he got happy with me and told me he love me but he would never let go of his sister. As the thoughts run through my mind, my eyes scan the dark room. Yes it is pitch dark but I can't see anyone. I can't hear any sound. It looks like there is no one around. They all ran away to catch Meredith. I can esca

Chapter: Chapter 63Grim POVI roll my eyes, as I glare at her “Do I look like a fool to you?” squeezing her heart the more.She screamed loudly, her loud scream filled the room, seeming as a pleasurable sound to me. “Grim please I really don't know where my dad took her to. He never told me beside….she is not relevant.. And..” I did not let her finish before piercing my claws into her.“Maybe you missed the info but she is my wife. Olivia is my mate, my wife and the love of my fucking life. Do yourself a goddamn favor and tell me where she is because one thing about me is that I don't play with the important people in my life. And she is one of them and don't worry but I will sacrifice you and your whole pack for one strand of her hair” Her eyes widened as she took a step back, I tightened my grip around her heart “One two” I started counting.“He is at the boundary of the pack. He took her there” she said, gasping for air as blood dripped down her lips, her brown eyes filled with fear and mystery.I

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-ThreeDerek POVChills ran through my spine as I watched my dad walk towards me with a smile; he had changed from his pyjamas he was wearing to a black short, white shirt, and a brown palm. And he was looking way more healthy than he was; he wore a creepy smile that only stayed on his lips and did not reach his eyes.“Dad?” I called out again.He ignored me and walked to where Charles was sitting. Charles immediately got up and assisted him to sit while he stood by his side like his right-hand man. Just the same way I usually stood beside him during meetings as his heir.“Dad, what the hell is happening here? Why do they have us at gunpoint, and why are you not doing anything?” I asked.He leaned back. “You see these boys around you. They are working at my orders and no one else's, he said.My eyes widened as I stared at the clone I once called my father. How did we go from having a good father and son relationship to him asking people to kill me? “You see, I knew you were just like your m

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-TwoGrim POV I shoved the letter into my pocket, wore a black turtleneck to accompany the black trousers I was putting on, and walked away. Anger boiling within me as I walked towards my car. Can't I have a week to myself? Can't they just leave me alone for a week? Many scary thoughts ran across my mind as I imagined what Daemon would be doing to Olivia by now. Gosh, she has already suffered enough already, attempted death twice, and all because I was not there to help. Now that I am with her, by her side, I would rather die than allow that to happen to her. I drove my car towards the pack palace, readying the whole pack to fund her. How did they get into the room without my notice? Immediately I stepped outside, Magna and Becky rushed to me, their faces carrying deep frowns on them. “Grim, my son, where have you been? I have been looking for you.” Magna said her eyes filled with worry, and for a moment I wanted to give in to her motherly warmth. The one I was used to, but my mi

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-OneOlivia POV I opened my eyes to meet total darkness. Quite cold darkness. The type of darkness that would make you helpless and lonely because you know you can't fight. You just have to wait for light to come or drown in the suffocating darkness. But…where the hell is this place? The last thing I remember is sleeping in Grim’s bed, wrapped in his arms. So where was the place? “Grim...Grim,” I tried to call out, but no sound came out from my lips. A frown crept on my face as I wondered what had happened to my voice. “Grim...” I called again but still was unable to make a sound. God, please let it not be someone who has seized my voice to stop me from talking. My palms became sweaty, my hands trembling as I struggled to breathe. I shook my face only to find out that I had been blindfolded. What the hell was happening? Could it be that this was a grim trick this morning? This better not be a trick because I would cut him alive for making me scared like this. But then again, Gri

Seducing My Fiance's Uncle
“Don’t you dare come any closer, you bloody monster,” Eric whispered, glaring at me.
A slow smile crossed my lips. Luckily for us, Katherine’s mother was too focused on the celebration to notice the tension between us.
“So I’m a monster now?” I asked. “That wasn’t what you called me yesterday.”
Eric’s eyes flickered with anger. “Yesterday was a mistake. I’m Katherine’s fiancé—your niece.”
“And yesterday, you were Mike’s boyfriend,” I replied quietly. “You seem very good at keeping secrets.”
“Then stay away from me,” Eric said, his voice low but firm. “I will not betray the people who trust me.”
Eric’s life is thrown into chaos when his brother is killed on the day of his coronation, forcing Eric to become king before he is ready.
Already struggling with the pressure of the crown and the expectations placed on him, Eric believes he can rely on his fiancé, Katherine, and his boyfriend, Mike. But everything changes when Damien Monetro—Katherine’s powerful and mysterious uncle—returns from Eric’s past.
As old secrets resurface and loyalties are tested, Eric must decide who he really is, whom he can trust, and what kind of king he is willing to become.

Chapter: Chapter 43Damien POV"Wow." I let out a deep sigh as I stared at her.She stood still for a while, her skin looking pale, mascara on her face with her hair scattered.She opened her mouth to say something and closed it. Maybe she was shocked that she had let out her life secret to me.And then she broke into laughter. She paused, stared at me and started laughing again."Why are you laughing?"She staggered a little bit before sitting in the chair and drowning the only alcohol left in the bottle, and then she looked at me and started laughing again.Maybe she was drunk.I needed to take her to the guest room before she made a mockery of herself.I stood up and walked towards her. "I would take you to the guest room. When you are better, I would take you to see your son."She laughed again. "Go and sit down, Damien. I am not drunk.""You drank a whole bottle of Scotch that contains ninety percent alcohol, by the way. And you are laughing.""Because I am finally free."I paused, letting go of her

Chapter: Chapter 42Damien POVCold crawled around my chest, finding its way to my heart as I stared at Eric's mum. She sat in my office, legs crossed, her whole attention on the phone."Since when did we start visiting each other without a call?" I asked.She shrugged. "Since you became close to my son, and besides, my son is with you in this tall gothic mansion," she said, her eyes still on the phone.For a moment I attempted shouting into the air and drawing her attention from that so called tablet."I am talking to you, and I expect your whole attention to be on me and not your silly tablet, or you could see yourself out."She finally dropped the tablet on the table, looking unaffected by my threat.She smiled. "Damien, you should know that you are talking to a queen. A queen of Elorida who, by the way, is your client and we would soon be family. Toss all those bossy attitudes outside. They are for cowards who worship you, not me."I leaned back into the chair, my hands on my legs, my eyes on her, ne

Chapter: chapter 41Damien POVI gave a stiff smile to Katherine and held her hand. Finn followed me at my back, his shoulders squared, ready to do anything.Katherine rushed to the door and opened it, smiling. She took a seat beside Eric, holding his hands, while he stared at her in awe.Doctor Abel stood beside him, his hands in his pocket, with a warm smile.I shook hands with him. "He has gotten better, right?" I asked, trying to read him.He nodded quickly, smiling. "Yes. I knew he would get better quickly. He has been responding to treatment, so it was not a surprise that he woke up today. Katherine has been by his side."I squared my shoulders, avoiding Eric's eyes the whole time, even though I could feel his eyes on me every single time.I looked at Finn. "Close the door."Finn locked the door almost immediately. My eyes surveyed the whole room, from Katherine who sat beside him caressing his face, to the doctor sitting beside him, and then my eyes rested on Eric. He looked so peaceful and reliev

And... and Dan told me about you and whatever boy he was talking about, but I know you. You..." She paused.I waited for the condemnation.For the judgmental hint in her voice.Or maybe she would snatch the baby away from me."You are a good man, Damien." I swallowed hard. "What?"She nodded. "You are a good man. From what Luca told me about your journey, you are loyal, and this is the second time you have saved my life. When I fell into trouble, you and Luca went to hell and back just to get me. Luca is my husband, but you? You went because you are a good friend, and I owe you, Damien."I cleared my throat, careful not to trouble small Celyan, who had found interest in my tie."What are you saying?""I am saying you can do all you want.

Chapter: Chapter 39Damien POV I walked back to the room, sat on the chair I had sat on a few minutes ago, and watched him as he tightened his hands around the rail and let out a scream, or should I call it a groan. It sounded too low to be a scream. "Arggh!" He paused, sucked in a deep breath, and groaned slowly again. He gripped the rail until his weak veins throbbed through his skin. I looked at my watch, bored. When was he going to stop crying? It had been five fucking minutes since I let him mourn the death of his right hand man and his favourite "strongest" men in his mafia. "Dan, be fast. You don't have all day to mourn." His shoulders paused at my words. He turned slowly to me, his eyes bloodshot red, his head filled with beads of sweat, his skin had turned red from the pain I had caused him, a blood stain smeared his cheeks. He looked utterly defeated. Just the way I had planned. He walked towards me slowly, shoulders fallen, glaring at me. He pointed his shaky hands towards

Chapter: Chapter 38Damien POV Cold crept up underneath my skin as I stared at Dan, Ashley's dad, at his old grey eyebrows and disgusting wrinkles that made him look more ugly than he usually did. I shrugged, squaring up my shoulders. "You should drop the gun, Dan. It would do your old age no good." He pressed the gun deeper into my skull, putting more pressure on me until I felt the pressure kiss my skull. I tightened my grip around the glass until it cracked, then released it, just so it wouldn't break. Just the same way I would deal with Dan a few minutes from now. "Are you going to agree to the plan or should I blow off your skull?" he asked. I shrugged. "No." He pressed harder, his hands trembling a little, beads of sweat gathering on his forehead. He was doing so much for a man who claimed to be strong. Now I saw why the Americans were not growing. How would they, when they had a pathetic man for a Don? "You tarnished her reputation, Damien. Now they would see her as someone th
