Chapter: CHAPTER 0071Alaric’s POV: “We got her out, sir. She’s home safe, like you asked.” Trip’s gruff voice sounded out of my phone’s speaker.I rose to my feet, making my way toward the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse. My hand curled at my side, the other tightening around the phone pressed to my ear.Fucking hated this.“Good,” I replied coolly. “Don’t let her out of your fucking sight.”I started to end the call, but Trip called out again. “Sir, what about Tyler Cross? What happens when he gets back from work and sees his missing girlfriend on the couch or something?”My lips twitched in annoyance. “Nothing happens. Juniper will want to tell him the entire truth. Let her. It’s about time he knows I have his ex-fiance in my possession. Maybe then he’ll fully understand what he walked into by accepting the promotion.”And I knew he wasn’t going to quit. Tyler had a lot of debt that kept on piling up. The fucker had also started to gamble to take his mind of the fact that his girl was missing.

Chapter: CHAPTER 0070Meadow’s POV: I regretted those words the moment they were out of my mouth but I couldn’t take them back. And frankly, I didn’t want to.At least I was getting an expression other than cold indifference from Alaric.His nostrils flared, eyes narrowing to slits. “I know what you’re trying to do, Meadow. Stop it, or I’ll make you regret it.”My heart stuttered at the look in his eyes—raw and almost primal. Heated.He was getting turned on.I swallowed as my eyes dropped to his sweatpants, where he was already sporting a hard bulge. I took a step closer to him, hooking my fore fingers into the waistband as I stood on the tips of my toes. My fingers grazed the skin of his abdomen, but barely. He tensed.“Is that a threat?” I asked, staring straight at his mouth.His breath came out in quick bursts as his eyes dropped to my mouth. I could see the confliction in his eyes. The anger, lust… shame.“Come on, Alaric,” I whispered, my voice trembling, half with fear, the other half with need. “

Chapter: CHAPTER 0069Meadow’s POV:I did remember my name.After Alaric gave me two more orgasms.I wasn’t sure at what point I fell asleep, but it was still dark when my eyes opened. I’d slept with Alaric’s arm pulling my back to his front, but now, I felt nothing.No trace of his skin on mine. And when I touched his side of the bed, it was cold.He had left me alone. Again.My heart dropped as something in my throat thickened.How hard was it to just spend the entire night with me? Or just a few fucking hours, because from what I could tell, it had been a long time since he left the bed.I should’ve known better than to expect that he would do anything but detach himself from me. I shook my head. Why was I even dwelling on this? He didn’t owe me anything.Not his affection or care.Turning the bedside lamp on, I threw the covers away from my body and got out of Alaric’s bed. I pulled on a shirt of his before I left his room, deciding to continue the rest of the night in my room instead—if my now restles

Chapter: CHAPTER 0068Alaric’s POV: I knew that this was Meadow’s first time and that I was supposed to be patient with her. But fucking hell! She was driving me crazy with those slow moves and those sounds she was making.I’d said it time and time again. Meadow was going to make me lose my fucking mind. I knew it. I expected it.And all I’d done was kiss her and have her mouth around her cock, but I was already losing every manner of control I’d instilled in myself.I wasn’t sure if I should’ve been ecstatic about it or fucking pissed.Maybe I would dwell on that later. But for now…“Just look at you,” I growled, watching drool leak from the corners of her mouth as she opened it wider. Half of my cock was wet with her saliva, and the other half… Well, I was about to get it wet.“So beautiful. So fucking dirty.”Her face was already flushed but I could still see the new shade of red that appeared as she blushed. Meadow was the eighth fucking wonder of the world. She was snappy with me, but the second I ga

Chapter: CHAPTER 0067Meadow’s POV: I already knew what he was going to say when I asked him to show me what was behind the door. It’s why option three came in handy. That way, if he didn’t let me in there, at least he’d let me please him.And I knew he wasn’t going to choose option two.“So, what will it be, Daddy?” My voice was barely above a whisper, laced with want—because I did want him.God, I wanted him so badly. And from the way his eyes darkened even further, I could tell that he wanted me too. Maybe even more than I wanted him.Alaric hummed, tongue sticking out to wet his lips. “You’re giving me ultimatums now?”I bit down softly on my bottom lip. “You can’t treat me like I’m made of porcelain forever.”“Yes,” he murmured, pinching my nipple and drawing out a moan from me. “I can. Come here.”And then his mouth was on mine again, kissing me like he just couldn’t get enough. I giggled against his mouth. “All those weeks you made up every single existing excuse not to kiss me, and then the second

Chapter: CHAPTER 0066Meadow’s POV: Throughout the entire ride home, Alaric’s hand remained on my exposed thigh while he drove with the other. It was difficult to concentrate or think of other reasons I was supposed to be upset with him for.And I liked that I couldn’t concentrate. If it meant I wouldn’t have to cry or dwell on what had happened in that facility with my unhinged twin sister, then I was all in.I bit down a moan when his hand inched higher. I wondered what he was going to do to me. Whether he was going to finger me or find other ways to make me orgasm that didn’t involve him actually sticking his dick inside of me.Wet heat pooled between my thighs. I wasn’t going to ask him. I already had a plan of my own.“You’re shaking,” he stated plainly, glancing over at me before refocusing on the road. He was driving fast. So fucking fast, I’d be terrified if I wasn’t so turned on.“Not from the cold,” I admitted, tugging his jacket around me and sniffing subtly, getting used to his scent.Alaric

Dear Ex-Husband, Revenge is Mine!
Revenge? Is that really what I want?
Or do I just want my ex-husband’s younger brother?
*•*•*•*•*•*
The plan was simple—marry Maverick Sinclair, give him an heir, and in return, he’d help me destroy my ex-husband, Sebastian Sinclair.
One year. One child. One deal.
But then again, nothing is ever that simple.
Because how do I give Maverick a child… when I’m already hiding his first one in plain sight?
I should tell him, so Maverick can finally take his rightful place as CEO and have his revenge against his father and brother, right?
Wrong.
I will protect my daughter with everything I have.

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY: DEADLINEIRIS‘I really want to be in your life, princess.’That was what my father had just said to me.After the many years I’d spent without a father, hearing him say that just… It made the anger at the bottom of my stomach boil even hotter.I had waited for this man on the front steps. Waited for him every single evening, hoping that one day, he would come back home. Come back to me.But he never did.Days and days passed. Weeks, months, years…I stopped waiting on the steps after a whole year.Mostly because I was tired of waiting, but also because that was when my mother started hitting me. And when I was finally able to run away, I ran straight to my grandmother—Harold’s mother. She was still alive at the time and also knew nothing about her son’s whereabouts.She was reluctant to take me in because she was scared she didn’t know how to take care of me since she was already failing in health.But I was fine with it. I didn't need much. I just needed a place to call home. A place to la

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE:IRIS “Who?” I found myself asking even though I already knew the answer to that question.Harold looked me dead in the eye. “I’m sure you must remember a man who was your bodyguard for a very short period of time? The man who had actually kidnapped you on behalf of Quentin?”He trailed off, like he was waiting for me to say something. To ask him to go on. I didn’t. But he continued anyway.Harold leaned back in his seat. “Quentin sent him on another… errand, to get rid of your child before Maverick ever found out that she was his as well.”My breath caught.“So…” My voice was small, my head spinning.“Roman Vasilis cut the brakes.” My mouth opened but nothing came out.Nothing could come out.I mean, what was there to say?“You’re not…” I started, clearing my throat one I finally found my voice. “That still doesn’t mean anything. Maverick didn’t tell me that it was Roman, and so what? What does that have to do with anything?”My father chuckled darkly. “It might interest you to know

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AMD EIGHTY-EIGHT: WHO?IRIS The moment the doors to the dining room closed shut, a heavy silence fell over the room. Uncomfortable as hell and too damn loud. My father’s gaze shifted down to his food, and he started to eat again, like he hadn’t just asked Ryan and Layla to abandon their meals and leave us alone. He was really fucking good at pretending like nothing was wrong. I supposed that was how he was able to easily stay away after he abandoned me. I glared at the glass of wine in front of me. It would be a good idea to get drunk as hell, but I couldn’t risk it. I needed to have a sound mind if I was going to continue this bloody conversation with my father. “What do you want from me?” I asked again, quieter this time. My throat felt tight as I watched him chew the food in his mouth, his gaze focused ahead of him instead of at the person sitting beside him. After a full, long minute, he finally turned to glance at me, his eyes narrowed at the edges as they studied me with the same interest you’

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN:IRISI was furious. Seething.Harold was fucking infuriating.“So are we just going to pretend that Ryan didn’t just walk in with a blood stain on his shirt?” I asked, stabbing hard into the steak in front of me.I wasn’t hungry. Not anymore. But if sitting through this nightmare of a dinner was the only way Harold was going to let me speak to Maverick… then I was going to sit through it.Begrudgingly, of course.Ryan cleared his throat. “Where?” he muttered, looking down at his shirt like he didn’t know that the blood had been soaking into the fabric since before he walked in.“Where?” I echoed with a scoff, setting my fork down with a loud clink. And then I reached for the collar of his shirt, my fingers accidentally grazing the skin of his chest.Maybe I was imagining it, but Ryan had tensed beneath my touch.I bit down on a smirk. This man was so affected by me it would be so easy to get him to do what I wanted.All I had to do was play my cards right.“Right there, genius. Don’t

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIX: A LITTLE REVEALRYAN Harold Windsor was a complete asshole. And I might just fucking kill him.Up until about a year ago, I’d thought my sister was dead. I’d thought her body was even buried, but it wasn’t. Another damn body was placed in my sister’s coffin, charred beyond recognition so nobody would notice.The story was that Layla was in a car with Macerick Sinclair, both of them high out of their minds. But she was the one driving. Not him.I fucking hated Maverick Sinclair because he’d let my sister drive. Granted, the were both irresponsible teenagers, but he should have stopped her.He never should have let her drive.And then his fucking family offered my parents a shitload of money to keep their mouths shut, and my parents—their would rest in peace—agreed.They fucking agreed.And so I spent years hating the Sinclair family, plotting my revenge plan and everything.But Maverick fled the city. Starting a stupid tech company in Amsterdam that he named after my sister, like that was supposed to
