“Do you feel it?” he murmurs, his voice low and husky as he inches closer, the heat between them obvious. He brushes his fingers lightly against her arm, making her feel electric currents through her body. “Feel what?” Tammie teases, her breath hitching as she meets his gaze, knowing exactly what he means. “This,” he whispers, leaning in, his lips brushing against her ear. “The way you ignite something deep within me.” Tammie’s heart races as his lips trail down her neck, planting soft kisses that leave her weak with desire. “Richard…” she breathes, her body yearning for his touch, aching to be closer. “Let go, Tammie,” he urges, his hands finding her waist, pulling her against him. “Forget everything else. Just us, here, now.” With a sultry smile, she wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, whispering, “I want you… all of you.”

Chapter: Chapter 157NADIA'S POV.I watched Richard’s face as he stared at me, his expression a storm of emotions…anger, guilt, confusion. He looked so torn, so conflicted, and it thrilled me. He was struggling, fighting his own feelings, and I could see that he was losing the battle.This was my chance. I had to push him just a little more. Just enough to make him crack.I reached out, my hand grazing his arm as I leaned in closer, my voice low, soft.“Richard… you don’t have to pretend anymore,” I whispered, letting my eyes well up with tears. “I know you’re not happy with her. I know you feel trapped in that stupid, fake love marriage of yours.”His jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me, his fists tightening on the steering wheel. But he didn’t say anything. He didn’t deny it.I smiled to myself, knowing I was right. Of course he wasn’t happy. How could he be? He married Tammie out of obligation, out of some twisted sense of duty. But love? No. He didn’t love her. Not like he loved me.

Chapter: Chapter 156NADIA'S POV.I stared at my phone, disbelief washing over me as I read Richard’s name on the screen. He was calling me. Richard was calling me.My heart pounded wildly, my fingers trembling as I swiped to answer. I had been calling him for days, desperate to hear his voice, to explain everything, but he never picked up. And when he did, it was only to warn me never to call him again, his voice cold and filled with anger.But now… now he was calling me. Maybe he was finally ready to forgive me. Maybe he was coming back to me.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to sound calm as I answered, “Richard…?”“Meet me at the bridge near Willow Creek. In thirty minutes.” His voice was flat, emotionless.My heart skipped a beat. He wanted to see me. He was giving me another chance.Before I could respond, he hung up.I stared at my phone, a wide smile spreading across my face. He was coming back to me. I knew he couldn’t stay away forever.I rushed to my room, throwing open my wardrobe and sea

Chapter: Chapter 155NADIA'S POV.I gripped the steering wheel tighter as I drove away from the secluded spot, my mind racing with thoughts of Max and his twisted games.The wedding invitation card sat on the passenger seat, mocking me with its gold-embossed letters. Nadia and Max. It was written so elegantly, so perfectly, as if this was a love story meant to be.I scoffed, the bitter taste of anger lingering on my tongue. Love story? What a joke. Max didn’t love me. He didn’t even know the meaning of the word. This was about power, control, and, most of all, wealth.I knew exactly why Max had shown me that card. He was sending me a message, a warning. He was stylishly telling me to hasten up my plans to destroy Tammie and Richard’s marriage.And if I didn’t do it soon, if I was too slow or too careful, then I’d have no choice but to marry him.I gritted my teeth, the reality of his manipulation sinking in. Max was trying to corner me, to pressure me into speeding up my plans. He knew I didn’t love him.

Chapter: Chapter 154NADIA'S POV.I paced back and forth in my room, my fingers tightening around my phone as I dialed Alisha’s number. The nerve of that girl…thinking she could play games with me.She had one job: to break up that wedding, and she failed miserably. Worse, she thought she could switch sides, working for Max behind my back. Pathetic.The phone rang twice before she picked up.“Nadia?” Her voice was uncertain, almost shaky. Good. She was already scared.I didn’t waste time on pleasantries.“You really thought you were smart, huh?” I spat, my voice dripping with contempt. “Working for Max while pretending to be on my side? Do you take me for a fool?”“Nadia, I…”“Shut up.” I cut her off, my patience wearing thin.“You failed me. You failed miserably, and now you think you can just disappear? Do you have any idea who you’re messing with?”She was silent on the other end, probably shaking in her boots. I could picture her now, all that fake confidence crumbling.“I own this game,” I continued,

Chapter: Chapter 153RICHARD POV.It had been a week since Alisha left. A week since I found that note in her room, neatly placed on her pillow as if she’d planned her exit down to the last detail.Thank you for all you’ve done for me, but have it in mind that I have regained my memory and chose to leave your house without you knowing. Don’t look for me.I read that note at least a dozen times, trying to decipher what was real and what was just Alisha being... Alisha.Had she truly remembered everything? Did she remember the accident? The reason she was staying under my roof in the first place? Or was this another one of her games?The memory of finding that note still sat heavy in my chest, a weight I couldn’t quite shake off. And the strangest part was, I wasn’t sure why it bothered me so much.Alisha had been nothing but trouble since the day she entered my life…manipulative, secretive, and too good at playing the victim.I should’ve been glad to see her go. Relieved, even. But that’s not what I felt.

Chapter: Chapter 152ALISHA POV.The door opened, and my heart skipped a beat as I turned to see who it was.My eyes widened in shock as Mrs. Garrison walked in, her head held high, her presence commanding the room the moment she stepped inside.I didn’t expect it to be her. Of all people, I never imagined Richard’s mother would show up tonight.She was dressed elegantly, as always, in a tailored suit that screamed wealth and power.Her hair was perfectly styled, not a strand out of place, and her lips were painted in that signature red that made her look even more intimidating.Her sharp eyes scanned the room, landing first on Tammie. Her face softened instantly, a warm smile spreading across her lips as she hurried towards her.“Oh, my dear!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with affection.“Tammie, my beautiful daughter-in-law!”I watched, my chest tightening as Mrs. Garrison wrapped her arms around Tammie, pulling her into a tight embrace.Tammie laughed softly, returning the hug, her eyes shining with
