Chapter: Chapter Forty Four: The Remnants ARIAI stared out the window as the cab drove me back home. I left Eleanor's place few minutes ago. My head was clouded with a lot of thoughts. Was there really no other way out for me? Can't I just remain human? Must this seal be broken? And it wants to break forcefully fre on it own and that can either make me disabled or dead. Mother Nature why are you so cruel? Why me? What did I do so wrong in a past life that I have to suffer in this one?My phone dinged in my pocket taking me out of my thoughts. 📨 Sender: Step Mother Wren Details: Come to the companyWow, the last thing I needed right now was a lecture on hunting werewolves. I raised my head to the driver to him know on my change in destination. Soon I was in front of the company. Luxe Mane Studio. I entered inside and found it empty. I headed straight for the elevator. The company was always open 24/7. For it to be closed meant one thing. A meeting with the Hunters. Apart from the fact that it was a company that dea

Chapter: Chapter Forty Three: Two Weeks Left ARIAFew Hours LaterI stepped out of the cab as I adjusted the shawl on my head. My fingers brushed the pair of black shades I had over my eyes before moving on to dust the unseen dust on my clothes. Some days back I would have beat my chest and said I wouldn't come back here but here I am. I walked towards the door and knock gently.“Yes, I'm coming” Eleanor's voice rang out from the inside. Soon the door opened as I came face to face with her. “Aria, I never expected you to come back so soon” She said making way for me to come in. I entered and subtly looked around. “And what's it with your dressing? I mean the shawl and glasses?” She asked.I gulped as I slowly removed the shawl and the glasses.“Oh my God” she gasps as she came came closer and placed a hand on my shoulder while starring deeply at my eyes. “I remember these eyes. They looked just like your mother's. The same eyes I saw when she saved up years ago before she became a Fallen and her powers sealed.” She said with

Chapter: Chapter Forty Two: Oh NoARIA “Are you sure that's all?” Knox asked as we sat in the plane. “That would be all Alpha” Mason replied dragging a suite case behind. Knox looked toward's my direction since I have been silent all morning. I nodded but unconsciously bit my bottom lip getting lost in my thoughts. I hate myself. My stupid body reacting hay wire when it's about Knox. “Miss Lane” Knox called out to me and I faced him keeping my face as stoic as ever “About las—” “Please excuse me I want to use the restroom” I said avoiding any form of discussion related to yesterday. I stayed in the restroom for what seemed like forever before returning. Knox was buried in a magazine so I sat and stared out the window of the plane. Soon the plane landed and I quickly took my phone to dial a cab. “Huh, aren't you going with us?” Mason asked “I have somewhere else to be first” I lied smoothly. In reality, I just needed space from Knox. I needed to clear my head. To think straight. Because when he's near that's

Chapter: Chapter Forty One: Bussiness Trip (IV)ARIAI moaned. Not once, not thrice, not even in line of the numbers I could count.I couldn't stop it the moment it started. I couldn't resist, couldn't breathe, couldn't think nor use my head. What's the use of ruminating right now anyways?I let go totally, falling into his domination. He wasn't slow but I didn't want it slow anyways as I tried to keep up with his pace. He bit my lip causing me a gasp as he shove his tongue inside.“Mmmh” I whimpered into the kiss, feeling his hand in my bra as he cup my right breast. His fingers pinched my nipples, rolling it between his thumb and forefinger, leaving tingles and making it hard to keep up. I didn't know how my bra left my body but the moment his mouth covered my nipple, I knew that my body wasn't my own anymore. "Ahh... Knox."He's so strong, I must say, cause he was literally carrying me while ministering to my body. I didn't even know when I started rolling my hips. I needed friction down there so badly. I could feel my body get

Chapter: Chapter Forty: Business Trip (III)ARIA“Sure” Knox said after my half-baked excuse about getting ready. He pushed his chair back, rising to his full height. “Let’s go.”Mason groaned softly, still shoving food into his mouth. “Can’t we just—wait—give me one more minute, Alpha, I swear—”But Knox was already walking out, and Mason sighed dramatically before chasing after us, muttering something about wasting good food.The drive to the meeting was quiet. Soon we arrived and entered the boardroom. Everyone stood till Knox took his seat at the head of the table. Mason occupied the chair to his left, while I took the seat at his right.Across from us sat two men and a woman — the representatives of Vanguard Holdings, a high-profile investment group whose signature would expand Grey Enterprise’s influence overseas.“Let’s begin.” Knox said arranging the Rolex watch on his left hand.“Mr. Grey,” one of the men stood quickly with nervous energy in his movements. “We’ve finalized the merger proposal. We just need—”“Sit,” Kno

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Nine: Bussiness Trip (II)ARIAThe food on the table the next day, looked like something out of a royal feast—salivating, rich, and way too much for three people. I could not stop thinking how this table alone could feed my entire family for a whole day and there would still be leftovers.Mason didn’t seem to have any problem as he was eating like the world might end if he didn’t finish his plate. Fork, bite, chew, swallow—repeat. His second plate finished faster than I would have finished half of mine. He was eating so much that he could easily pass as a werewolf.Werewolf? I stared at them both, trying to hide my shock. How did I just realize that now?“Something wrong with your food?” Mason asked, raising a brow when he caught me staring.“No,” I quickly said. “It’s good. Really good.”He grinned. “Then what?” he asked as my stare continued, and a small smirk tugged his lips. “You just realized your boss keeps an interesting company?”“You’re… you’re also—”“A werewolf?” Mason finished for me easily, settin

A Bride For The Disabled CEO
“Please stop, you're drunk,” I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to push him off. His body was heavy against mine, his movements sluggish but persistent.
He barely heard me. “How old are you?” he murmured, his voice thick with alcohol.
“18,” I gasped, heart racing in a mix of fear and confusion.
“Then you're already an adult” he said with a low chuckle, as though that settled everything.
I should’ve stopped it. I should’ve left. But I didn't have the strength to argue, didn't have the will to stop him. He moved against me again, and that's when I felt something cold touch the most intimate part of me….
I woke up alone in a dimly lit room. He was still there, his back turned to me, but his face-his identity-was still hidden behind the mask. I glanced down at his left shoulder. A Phoenix tattoo. Bold. Intriguing.
But then, I didn't hesitate. I grabbed my things and ran, my heart racing as I left the room without another word. It was supposed to be just a night. One meant to be forgotten. And that's exactly what I intended to do. I didn't know his name. I didn't even know his face. It was a night meant to stay buried in the past. It was a night I promised myself I’d forget.
But that promise broke when pregnancy came knocking.

Chapter: Chapter Ten: Don't Take Him AwayCASSIUSThe soft thud of little feet against the carpet echoed through the room, followed by the faint giggle that I had come to like. Aaron.He was everywhere tonight — bouncing on his new bed, opening drawers, poking at the glowing nightlight shaped like a rocket. The decorators had just left, and the room still smelled of fresh paint and new furniture. Everything was perfect like something out of a catalog.“Dad! Look!” Aaron’s voice was bright, his small finger pointing toward the shelf. “They put my toy cars there!”I looked up from the chair near his bed and smiled, just a little. “That’s right. You’ve got more than you can drive.”He grinned and grabbed one of them, making engine noises as he zoomed it across the sheets. The laughter that followed hit something deep in my chest — something I didn’t want to name.It had been a good day. We’d played, eaten dinner together.Now, he was yawning between his giggles.“Alright, champ,” I said, rolling my chair closer. “Time for bed.”

Chapter: Chapter Nine: A Gentle StrangerCALISTA When I opened my eyes, I was met with a pair of sharp brown eyes staring intently at me. My breath caught in my throat, and for a brief moment, my muddled mind panicked. Where was I? The man leaned back slightly as if sensing my unease. “You’re awake,” he said, his voice warm and calm. he said, his voice calm and deep. “I’m Alaric King. “I found you collapsed in the rain and brought you here. You were freezing and unconscious. Do you remember?” I blinked at him, processing his words. Fainting? Rain? The memories returned in scattered fragments—the suffocating argument with Cassius, the storm, my heartache—and shame burned in my cheeks. He leaned back in his chair, giving me space, though his eyes never left me. “Walking in a rain as that wasn’t the best idea,” he said lightly, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “You’re lucky I happened to pass by when I did.” I didn’t respond, my thoughts still tangled with worry about Aaron. Was he okay? Did Mr Dario notice I was gone?

Chapter: Chapter Eight: Breaking PointCALISTA The dull ache in my head was the first thing I noticed as I blinked against the morning light filtering through the curtains. My eyes burned from crying all night, and my body felt heavy, weighed down by exhaustion and emotional turmoil. I hadn’t slept. How could I, when the past twelve hours had flipped my life upside down? My throat was sore and my heart felt like it had been shredded. But there was one thing that still mattered, one thing that kept me going even when the world around me seemed to crumble—Aaron. Pushing aside the blanket, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, though my knees wobbled beneath me. My reflection in the mirror caught my attention, and I almost didn’t recognize the woman staring back. My hair was a tangled mess, and my face was blotchy and pale. But I didn’t care. Aaron needed me, and I needed him. I hurried out of the room, my bare feet padding against the cold floor. “Aaron?” I called, my voice hoarse and cracking. There w

Chapter: Chapter Seven: Just Like She did Six years agoCASSIUS Aaron’s question hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. “Are you my daddy?” I stared at him for a long moment, the resemblance hitting me harder than I cared to admit. The boy didn’t just look like me—he was a mirror of my childhood self. The same dark hair, sharp features, Hazel eyes and even that slight furrow in his brow when he was curious. “There’s only one way to find out,” I said, my voice calm but firm. Calista bristled immediately, standing protectively between me and the boy. “This is ridiculous. It’s just a coincidence! Lots of kids look like people they’re not related to.” “A coincidence?” I raised an eyebrow, gesturing toward Aaron, who was now findiling with his fingers in the corner. “He doesn’t just look like me. He is me, Mrs. Dario. The resemblance isn’t just uncanny—it’s undeniable.” Her jaw tightened, and she crossed her arms. “So what if he looks like you? That doesn’t mean anything!” I didn’t respond immediately, instead picking up my phone and

Chapter: Chapter Six: Are You My Daddy?CALISTAThe soft hues of dawn filtered into the room, but the beauty of the morning did nothing to soothe my restless heart. Sleep had eluded me all night. My mind replayed the events of the past few days like a broken record—Cassius’s cold demeanor, the mansion’s suffocating luxury, and, most of all, the aching void left by my son’s absence.Aaron’s face haunted my thoughts. His cheeky grin, the sparkle in his eyes, the way his little arms wrapped around my neck—it was unbearable to be away from him.By morning, I made my decision. I needed to see him.Hours later, I stood at Lila’s front door, my palms damp with nerves. Before I could knock, the door swung open, and there he was—my little ball of energy, sprinting toward me with a wide grin.“Mummy!” Aaron’s voice rang with pure joy as he flung his arms around my legs.“Aaron!” I bent down, scooping him into my arms and holding him close. Tears stung my eyes as I kissed his forehead. “I missed you so much, sweetheart.”“I missed you

Chapter: Chapter Five: Where We StandCALISTA The drive to the Dario mansion was suffocating, not because of Martin’s silent company, but because of the weight of the choice I had made. My palms rested on my lap, trembling slightly. In my mind, Aaron’s bright smile and cheerful voice reminded me why I was doing this. The car pulled through towering iron gates and up a winding driveway. When the mansion came into view, my breath caught. It wasn’t just large—it was a palace. The sprawling estate boasted manicured gardens, a fountain large enough to rival a city park, and stone architecture straight out of a fairy tale. "Imposing, isn’t it?" Martin glanced at me briefly through the rearview mirror. "That’s one way to put it," I murmured, trying to keep the awe from my voice. Martin stopped the car at the entrance, where a butler opened the door before I could unbuckle my seatbelt. I stepped out and smoothed my dress, trying to appear composed. "Mrs. Dario, welcome," the butler greeted me with a polite nod, and the titl
