Chapter: CHAPTER 0062Alaric’s POV: “Is there a reason you summoned me instead of coming to the house to see me like a normal son would?” My mother’s irritated tone carried through the atmosphere as she stepped into my office.I didn’t turn away from the window I was looking out from. Days ago, I had come into my office to see her in this exact same position, and now, she was the one meeting me like this.“After the stunt you pulled last night, you’re lucky I’m even speaking to you, Mutti.”Meadow was avoiding me. When we got back home last night, she’d stepped out of the car hurriedly, not looking back at me as she walked into the house. She only stopped when I called out her name, and when she did, the only thing I could say was “Goodnight.”She didn’t respond, of course. But I wasn’t expecting her to. I’d fucked up by kissing her, and right now, all I needed was something to take my mind away from the guilt I was feeling and channel that into anger.Because I knew my mother. And I knew that she must’ve

Chapter: CHAPTER 0061Meadow’s POV: ‘The woman I thought would bear my grandchildren.’That was what Ingrid had announced in front of everybody. In front of Alaric’s own wife. In front of me.Guests were clinking their glasses together, laughing at Ingrid’s words all while cheering for and welcoming Yvonne.“Meadow.”I could hear Alaric next to me, but his voice sounded so far away. It wasn’t just him. Yvonne had lied to me too, telling me they had just a one-night stand when it was obviously more than that.Yvonne scanned the crowd, and when her eyes zoned on me, she smirked.Smirked.This time, when Alaric pulled me away, I didn’t stop him. I followed him mindlessly to the car. I was too stunned to say a word, still trying to process this.Before the incident happened with my parents, Yvonne was practically non-existent. We only knew that our mother had a sister but we hadn’t met her before. She lived with her parents—our grandparents, until all of a sudden, she showed up at twenty-one and said she was

Chapter: CHAPTER 0060Meadow’s POV: The moment Alaric’s lips captured mine, fireworks exploded in my heart. I melted, knees buckling underneath me, but the firm grip he had on my waist held me up.He pulled back for a second, his chest heaving as his gaze shifted from my lips to my eyes. I didn’t say a word. I couldn’t.But Alaric seemed to be way past the point of patience.“Fuck me,” he rasped right before his lips crashed down on mine again in an even fiercer kiss this time. I sighed into his mouth.The kiss was nothing like I thought it would be. It far exceeded my expectations. Alaric’s mouth was warm, his tongue firm and demanding, taking what it wanted without asking permission. I held onto the lapels of his jacket to ground myself even as he pressed me further into the side of the car.My arms slid to his neck and I wrapped them around it, sliding my hand through his hair. Alaric shuddered beneath my touch, groaning into my mouth as he quickly lifted me up.I moaned in response, wrapping my thigh

Chapter: CHAPTER 0059Meadow’s POV:I’d asked Yvonne to head out of the bathroom first in case anyone was watching us closely—especially Alaric.But now, as I watched them from a distance, I realized how big of a fucking mistake I made by doing that. I should never have trusted her.Should never have trusted that she would keep my secret.And judging from the look on Alaric’s face, I didn’t have much time with him. He looked pissed as he listened to whatever she was telling him about me.My heart beat thundered against my ribcage as I wondered what exactly she was telling him. That she was my aunt? That I was from an influential family? Formerly influential, anyway.Or was she telling him about my deadbeat father who had been locked in prison for over ten years?Either way, who knew what he was going to do to me when he found out that I was deceiving him?I didn’t want to think about the alternative. Didn’t want to consider the other reason that they might have been talking. Reminiscing on the time they’d

Chapter: CHAPTER 0058Alaric’s POV: I hated the parties my mother threw. They were always filled with self-absorbed asshole relatives who never stopped believing that their opinions were needed in affairs that concerned my own fucking life.Delusional? Yes, they were. And I could just as easily tell them to stay the fuck away from me, but I wasn’t in such a bad mood tonight.First, after what Meadow did for me, touching my hand as if she sensed that I was losing my cool earlier, it made me feel a sense of relief. Lifted this fucking heavy rock off my chest that I had no idea was even there.I hadn’t felt that way in a long time.So I figured the least I could do was behave, nod through a couple of conversations while she took care of her business in the bathroom.Which, if I had to admit, was a long fucking time to be in the bathroom.“Enjoying himself at a party?” My brother’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Never Ric Ashford. Nuh-uh. Not my brother. I’m not even sure the word “fun” exists in your stick-

Chapter: CHAPTER 0057Meadow’s POV: Yvonne stepped further into the bathroom, her heels clicking against the tiles as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.“Oh yeah?” she scoffed. “I mean, you ran away from me the moment you turned eighteen because you couldn’t stand being around me, but sure, Meadow. Long time no see.”I clenched my jaw.Yvonne was only ten years older than Juniper and me. When the incident happened with my parents and we were practically orphaned, she was nearly done with college and offered to take us in right when they were considering putting us in foster homes.She raised us for eight years, and she was right. The moment I turned eighteen, I left and never looked back. But Juniper followed me—per usual.My brows drew together. “That’s not why I left.You know I left because of that scholarship.”I needed to get away from that city, from that life—even if Juniper trailing me halfway across the country defeated the entire purpose. But I was content. Because I’d received a scholar

Revenge? Is that really what I want?
Or do I just want my ex-husband’s younger brother?

Wrong.

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

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.

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.
