Two weeks later. After Tiffany had moved out of his mansion. Kai finds himself on the next flight to Seattle as his desire for Tiffany grows.

Extract:
He needed to stop before he lost himself completely. His hands fisted in her hair, pulling her away. He leaned in, kissing her deeply before guiding her onto her back, spreading her legs wide.
"You're driving me insane, Tiffany Halton," he rasped, his forehead pressing against hers. "God, what am I going to do with you?"
She gasped, every inch stretching around him, her breath coming in sharp little cries. Kai clenched his jaw, struggling to keep himself in check as he buried himself inside her.
Each time he tried, her body responded with a shiver, a breathy moan that drove him wild. Finally, he breached her, sliding deep inside, burying himself to the hilt.
They both moaned.
"Oh, fuck," he groaned.
Kai looked down, mesmerized by the sight of them joined together. The way he disappeared into her over and over.

Chapter: MY DAYLIGHTThe warm water rippled and lapped softly against the tub as the midwife leaned forward, her hands guiding the slippery and squirming newborn into Tiffany’s trembling arms. A thin towel was pressed gently into her palms with instinct she gathered it around the small body, pulling him protectively against her chest. A sharp cry pierced the room. Tiffany’s breath hitched, her whole body trembling as tears swelled and blurred her vision. She lifted her gaze to Kai, her lips shaping around the words, shaky. “It’s a boy.” For a moment, Kai couldn’t move. His chest rose and fell as if the sound of that small voice had stolen air from his lungs. His eyes shimmered, wet with unshed tears, and his hand lifted to his mouth as though to hold in the flood of emotions threatening to escape. The midwife’s voice broke through the haze. “We need to clean her up... do you want to hold your baby?” Kai swallowed hard. His voice failed him, but his nod was enough. A smile cracked across his fac

Chapter: I LOVE YOU.Kai suddenly pulled out, his cock slick and hard, leaving Tiffany clenching around nothing. She gasped at the emptiness, ready to protest, but then his hands spread her ass apart, exposing her completely to him.“Kai—” her voice broke, half-plea and half-shock.He bent low, his breath hot against her swollen, trembling folds, before dragging his tongue up the length of her slit, slow and deliberate. Tiffany’s legs nearly gave out.“Oh, fuck!” she cried, her palms slapping against the counter for balance.Kai groaned into her, the taste of her arousal flooding his mouth as he licked deeper with his tongue circling and teasing. Then plunging inside. He spread her wider, savoring every slick sound he drew from her body."Love," he rasped against her, before sucking her clit into his mouth, hard enough to make her jerk forward.Her moans spilled freely. Her hips grinding back against his face, desperate for more. Her thighs trembled. The pleasure was so sharp it bordered on unbearable. “D

Chapter: ANOTHER YOU, LOVE.THREE YEARS LATER.Kai dropped his keys onto the side table with a quiet clatter, the sound swallowed immediately by the hush of the mansion. He shrugged out of his jacket, shoulders heavy from the day, and loosened his tie as he moved through the stillness. The silence wasn't the kind he’d grown used to, an empty house, an evening wrapped around solitude, but Tiffany had told him earlier she would be out.In the shower, steam rose around thick and hot as the water drummed against his skin until his thoughts blurred into a humming drift. It was almost enough to dissolve the ache of the hours behind him. Kai pushed open the bathroom door, toweling his hair, when a sound cut clean through the quiet. A breath wrapped up in a suppressed giggle. His pulse hitched, and he froze. Then came a thud from downstairs then and nothing. Kai cinched the towel at his hips, ears straining against the silence, before tugging on a pair of shorts and following the echo down the hall. Light spilled

Chapter: AFTER PARTYThe helicopter blades slowed with a heavy thrum, the downdraft whipping Tiffany’s veil and sending loose strands of her hair wild around her face. The tarmac glistened faintly under the late evening lights, where a sleek jet waited for them.The door slid open, and Kai got down first, ready to offer his hand. But Tiffany didn’t wait.With a reckless and breathless laugh, she leapt into him. Her legs curling around his waist and arms clinging to his neck. The sudden heat of her body pressed into him, and Kai held her firm, his hands instinctively gripping her thighs.Her lips found his immediately, hungry, claiming, every ounce of restraint abandoned. The taste of champagne clung to her kiss, fierce and intoxicating. She breathed against his mouth and her voice husky with possession.“You’re mine,” she whispered, nipping at his lower lip before diving back into his mouth.Kai groaned into her kiss, his body tightening, his grip possessive. On the edge of the tarmac, beneath the thun

Chapter: ONLY YOU."Today’s headline has everyone talking: billionaire and CEO of Winson Corporation is tying the knot with none other than Tiffany Halton, his longtime girlfriend who is also his former wife. Unlike their previous union, the couple has chosen to hold a formal wedding ceremony, which is drawing significant public interest. The event, however, will be kept highly private. Sources indicate the ceremony will take place in New Zealand, Halton’s dream destination, though the exact venue has not been disclosed. No images are expected to be released, and both family and friends have maintained strict confidentiality. The occasion remains an intimate gathering, attended only by those closest to the couple." *******"I can't believe you're getting married. You're actually doing this. You owe me a million dollars for helping you let Kai into your life again. What do I call you now? Mrs Winson?" Noami said with a small laugh, walking into the bridal suite. The bridal suite was hushed, touched

Chapter: WAKE UP, KAI.The hours dragged like years. Tiffany sat curled with her palms pressed together in silent prayer. Every sound from the swinging double doors made her jolt, but it was never for her.Finally, a doctor stepped out, peeling off his gloves. Tiffany shot to her feet.“Miss Halton?” he asked.“Yes—yes, I’m here. How is he?” she blurted, her words trembling into the air.The doctor exhaled slowly, eyes flicking to Mr. Nolan before settling back on her. “The bullet missed his heart by less than an inch. He lost a great deal of blood, but we managed to stabilize him during surgery. The wound tore through muscle and grazed the rib, but there’s no permanent damage to his organs. He’s weak, but he’s alive.”Her knees buckled with relief, tears breaking free. “Thank God… thank God…” she whispered, clutching her stomach as she sobbed.Mr. Nolan’s jaw flexed, but he released a shaky breath, eyes closing briefly as if he too had been holding it all in.“He’ll need time,” the doctor continued. “We’ve

Chapter: 43. SUNRISEROWANNE POV.“Good morning, Mr Carter.”“John, it’s good to have you here,” Eli replied, his voice calm and authoritative as he shook the older man’s hand with a firm grip.I stood a step behind them with my arms wrapped loosely around myself against the biting dawn chill while I was blinking the sleep from my eyes. I barely slept last night and now he’d dragged me out here before the sun even considered rising. I had no idea where I was, only that the wind was merciless, whipping strands of hair across my face no matter how many times I pushed them back.I exhaled shakily, watching my breath fog in the cold air. The younger Carter was turning out to be far clingier than I ever imagined. Not that I minded.Eli looked unfairly perfect, fresh, and radiant in a way that made my stomach flutter. His fluffy brown hair, slightly tousled by the wind, fell softly over his forehead in boyish bangs that clashed with his cold and intimidating aura. Still, to me, they only made him look heartb

Chapter: 42. MY UNDOINGELI’S POV.But the ache inside me kept building, the need to take her completely, growing stronger with every second. I leaned down, my lips brushing against her ear as I whispered, “Turn over, Peach.” Her breath hitched, and for a moment, she hesitated, her eyes meeting mine. But then she nodded, her body trembling as she shifted beneath me, rolling onto her stomach. I sat back, my hands sliding down her back, tracing the curve of her spine as I admired the view in front of me. She was perfect, her body arching slightly, her hips lifted as she braced herself on her forearms. “Rowanne, do you have any idea how beautiful, you are?” I muttered under my breath, my hands gripping her hips as I positioned myself behind her. I dragged my cock along her slick folds, teasing her, the heat of her wetness driving me wild. I groaned, my head tipping back as the sensation sent a shiver through me. “You’re soaked, Peach. It's driving me crazy.”“Eli,” she moaned. “Please…” That was all

Chapter: 41. A DREAMELI’S POV.“Eli,” she whispered, her voice trembling as she clung to me, her arms wrapped tightly around my neck like I was the only thing keeping her grounded. “When?” I asked softly, my lips brushing against her hair, my hands splayed firmly on her back, holding her close. She took a deep, shaky breath, her chest rising and falling against mine. “Last night,” she murmured. A slow smile spread across my face. “Peach…” I whispered. She leaned back just enough to meet my gaze, her eyes searching mine, her expression soft yet resolute. “Because I want to be yours,” she said but her words hit me to the chest. “I thought… since I’m your woman.” Her words were so soft and yet held that subtle sultriness only Rowanne could pull off. I couldn’t take my eyes off her lips as the tip of her tongue flicked out, wetting them. God help me, I didn’t stand a chance. She said she was my woman with a look of such innocent seduction that it left me speechless. It felt like a dream, a dream

Chapter: 40. SWEET LORD.ELI’S POV.Behind the numbers, etched in delicate precision, were her initials.My breath caught as I studied the watch. I had countless timepieces, more than I could ever need, but this? This was the only one that mattered. Her initials on something I could wear every day. Was this her way of marking me? Claiming me? If it was, I already knew I’d never take it off. “Isn’t it pretty?” she asked, her voice brimming with pride. “The store was surprisingly quick with the engraving.” I licked my lips, my eyes lifting to hers, and for a moment, I couldn’t speak. “Let me put it on for you,” she said, stepping closer. “I want to see how it looks.” Her hands reached out, taking the watch from me. She was so close now, and as she gently wrapped the band around my wrist, I could feel her warmth. Her fingers brushed against my skin, sending sparks up my arm. But I wasn’t looking at the watch anymore. My eyes dropped to her chest.Her hair fell softly over her shoulders, but not enough

Chapter: 39. GIFTELI’S POV.“Welcome back, Mr Carter,” Beck greeted as I stepped into the villa. I nodded at her curtly, my eyes scanning the empty space. The silence was oddly heavy, almost unnerving, and there was no sign of her. I loosened my tie, tugging at it absently as I looked back at Beck, my voice low and direct. “Where is she?” “Ms Carter? In the bedroom, sir,” she responded, but I barely heard him. My nod was automatic, my feet already moving as I yanked the tie free and draped it over my shoulder. My pace quickened with every step, anticipation coursing through me. When I reached the bedroom, I stopped in the doorway, my hand gripping the frame as my eyes took in the scene. Bags. Shopping bags were scattered across the room in an almost chaotic way, yet it only made me smile. My heart raced in a way I hadn’t expected, a rush of excitement blooming in my chest. I stepped into the room, clearing my throat as I tossed my tie onto the bed. My fingers moved to the first two butto

Chapter: 38. A NAGELI’S POV. The morning light filtered through the curtains. I straightened my tie in the mirror, my reflection staring back at me. I had a series of meetings ahead, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. Or rather, with someone else.Rowanne. I could still feel her warmth from the night. I adjusted my cufflinks, the metallic click faint in the quiet room. I needed to leave soon. Still, something pulled at me, a need to check on her before I left. I walked back toward the bedroom. As I stepped inside, the sight of her stopped me. There she was, sprawled across the bed, still fast asleep. Her sandy brown hair was a mess, strands spilling across the pillow in soft waves, catching the morning light and glowing like spun gold. The red silk was pooling around her curves, barely covering her. One side had slipped down her shoulder, exposing her smooth skin, while the deep V of the robe revealed the swell of her cleavage. I couldn’t help the soft chuckle that escaped my lips. Sh

Isaac Hayes wasn’t just anyone. He was my cousin. My mother’s sister’s son. My forbidden crush.
“I just—” My voice faltered, my lips trembling before I forced the truth out. “I just wanna taste you.”
His gaze darkened.
“You want my cock in your mouth, Snow?” he asked.
My lips parted, and I felt my cheeks flame. But the need inside me was too strong. I nodded.
Isaac’s mouth crushed against mine again, stealing my breath. I melted into it, whimpering softly as his tongue tangled with mine.
His hand slid up threading into my hair until his palm gripped the back of my neck, holding me firmly. His lips lingered on mine for a second, then he pulled back just enough to whisper against them.
“Say it.”
“Tell me you wanna suck my cock, pretty,” he murmured, his grip tightening, forcing my head to tilt slightly. “I’ll let you.”
My lips parted, my voice trembling but soaked with hunger for my cousin's cock. I wanted to choke on his cock so bad.
“I… I want to suck your cock, Isaac.”
“Good girl,” he rasped, the praise sending heat flooding through me. “On your knees, Snow.”

Chapter: 101. THE WANTING HEATHOLLY’S POV I shut the bathroom door behind me, leaning heavily against it for a moment as I caught my breath. My legs barely carried me, shaky and sore, but I didn’t care. I needed the scalding heat of a shower more than anything right now. “No,” I said firmly, my voice sharp even though it wavered slightly. “I’m going to shower alone.” I didn’t wait for his reply. Instead, I turned the lock and stepped into the small space, my body tense, my chest tight. As soon as the water hit my skin, I let out a shaky exhale, the heat washing over me, soothing the ache in my muscles and flushing away the remnants of what had just happened. But I couldn’t wash away the memories, not of the couch, of him, of the way he made me feel. The moment replayed in my mind like a loop I couldn’t pause, couldn’t stop. My hands braced against the tiles, and I let my head hang. I hadn’t told him. I hadn’t told Zeke I was leaving. He wasn’t supposed to mean anything. That’s what I had told myself f

A string of saliva connected my lips to his cock, and I licked it away slowly, my gaze never leaving his. “Holly,” he rasped my name again, his hand tightening in my hair, his hips bucking forward as if he couldn’t stop himself. “You’re...fuck...you’re so fucking good at this.” I hummed softly around him, letting the vibration ripple through him. I knew what it would do. I knew it would draw another guttural moan from him, and I wasn’t disappointed. His head tipped back, his jaw clenching as a deep groan tore from his throat. Saliva dripped from the corners of my mouth, slicking his cock as I moved faster, my lips gliding over him in long, wet strokes. The obscene, wet gagging sounds I made only seemed to push him further, his hips moving

Chapter: 99. THE WANTING HEATHOLLY’S POV. The door to my bedroom slammed shut, the sound echoing through the room as Zeke’s lips crashed against mine. Our mouths moved together in a hasty kiss. I could barely breathe, his lips were rough, too rough, and fast, too fast, as if he needed to consume me completely, as if this was the last time we’d ever touch. My hands wrapped around his neck, holding steady for a moment, but not for long. Slowly, my fingers slipped down, trailing over the hard lines of his chest, feeling the way his body tensed beneath my touch. Lower, and lower, until they wrapped around his hardened cock through the fabric of his jeans. I felt his breath hitch against my lips, a low growl rumbling deep in his throat. I broke the kiss, slowly pulling back, my lips tingling from the intensity of it. My eyes stayed locked on his as I began to sink to my knees. My hands continued their journey, trailing down his chest, savouring the heat of his skin through the thin material of his shirt. Wh

Chapter: 98. THE WANTING HEATHOLLY’S POV.A rollercoaster of Zeke in just two days. I felt bad for Marjorie, but I couldn’t help it. I’d been bent, spanked, and fucked in every corner of the house. The balcony, the room, the kitchen, the living room, and, one night, even the garden. It felt like I’d found my own little heaven. My own place, my safe harbour. But deep down, I knew this was nothing more than a beautiful illusion, too beautiful. It scared me, but I wanted that heat, that fire, more than anything else. And yet, Paris lingered in the back of my mind, along with the reminder of my past mistakes with Zeke. Now, here I was, staring at him as I gripped the cone of my melted ice cream. “Cherry, wait until we get home, huh? You’re still drunk, darling,” he said, his voice low and steady as he shielded me from the prying eyes around the beach near his workplace, Stoned Ice Cream Room. “Drunk? You’re the one who gave me that drink,” I teased, leaning closer to him. A playful smile tugged at my lips

Look who I decided to help in the kitchen this morning!” I tensed as Zeke came into view, his broad frame leaning against the counter. His gaze locked onto mine, intense and unreadable. It was as though he was trying to decipher something, searching my face for a clue. His lips parted slightly like he wanted to speak, his brow furrowing in hesitation. I couldn’t let him. “Why are you here this morning?” I said quickly, cutting him off before he could get a word out. My words came out harsh, but I didn’t care. He straightened, his expression flickering from surprise to concern. “I came to check on the lig

And the next, I was scrambling away, trying to escape the relentless pleasure. “Zeke!” I gasped, my voice high and breathless. “Zeke!” I didn’t get far. His hand came down hard on my ass, the sharp sting making me yelp as he grabbed my hips and yanked me back to him. My knees slid against the sheets as he pinned me down, his big hand pressing firmly on my lower back, forcing my chest flat against the bed while my ass arched high for him. “When I have my cock inside you,” he growled, his voice low and rough, “you stay there. Is that clear, ma’am?” I whimpered, the heat of his hand branding my skin as he held me in place. My head turned over my shoulder, and I met his gaze. “Yes!” I gasped. “Oh god, yes! I can’t—I can’t—It’s so deep. I can feel you in my stomach!” He smirked, his hand sliding up my spine, his fingers curling around the back of my neck to hold me steady. “You’re taking it so well,

I wanted to believe him. I wanted to melt into that kiss and forget everything Nonso had planted in my head. But the doubt was still there.I pulled away gently and stepped into the living room, my bare feet silent on the cool marble floor. Sasa was already there."Good morning, Mrs Maynard," she greeted with a small bow.I forced a smile, though it felt fragile. "Good morning. Has… Jinhai gone to work?""Yes, ma’am."I nodded, glancing around the space. "Thank you. Um, I won’t be having breakfast at home." My eyes flicked to the large clock on the far wall. It was a few minutes past noon. "Lunch, I guess.""Mrs Maynard, Mr Maynard wanted me to inform you that your family will be arriving soon."My steps faltered. "That won’t be necessary. Ha

Her teeth finally released my shoulder.She mumbled something incoherent against my neck, her breath warm and ticklish. “Don’t drop me.”“Now you care about that, but you bit me,” I replied, half-amused. But she had already gone completely silent, her body going limp as she rested heavily on my shoulder. “Jenny?”She hummed lowly, the sound vibrating against my chest.I sighed, the weight of the night pressing down on me. Then came a knock at the door, followed by the insistent ringtone of Jeneta’s phone.“Enter,” I called, lifting her off the dresser and carrying her toward the bed.Lina walked in quietly, holding Jeneta’s bag and phone. She extended the phone toward me. “Sir, you need to see this.”I placed Jeneta carefully on the bed, pulling the blanket over her before standing and walking over to Lina. As I got closer, I saw the caller ID clearly. Nonso.I took the p

I’m sorry.”I took a deep breath, staring at her flushed face. At least the apology felt real, even if it was soaked in alcohol. For a fleeting second, it eased the knot in my chest.But then she leaned in again, her hand trailing boldly over my chest, fingers playing with the buttons of my shirt. “He would kill you if you came home with me…” she whispered, her breath warm and sweet with liquor. Her eyes met mine, hazy. “He’s very scary. Run with me.”I stared at her blankly.Run.The single word sparked something dangerous inside me like a twitch of pure and possessive anger that made my jaw clench and my blood heat. Run? Away from me? It shouldn’t affect me this much. She was drunk. She

I scoffed, rolling my eyes hard. Never in my life had a woman thrown this kind of attitude in my face. My patience was thinning by the second, fraying like a rope pulled too tight. The truth was, I had forgotten most of what had happened the night before. I remembered being with her but everything after that had gone blank. I had woken up alone in an empty room, half of her belongings missing. They told me she had gone to a hotel. Sweet of her to think she could actually leave me. Maybe she needed space. Fine. But it had been a whole day now, and I was dangerously close to snapping. Close to storming that hotel, throwing her over my shoulder, and dragging her back home. I took a deep breath

I scanned the sleek, sunlit kitchen without really seeing it. My mind was miles away, replaying every moment from yesterday on an endless loop. Nonso’s words kept echoing in my head. “Jinhai doesn’t love you. He’s only using you for his personal gain. Have you ever wondered why he married you so suddenly? Are you that blind?” The questions gnawed at me, stirring up doubts I had tried so hard to bury. One conversation with my ex-husband and my entire world felt like it was tilting again. “Jinhai?” I finally asked, turning my gaze to Sasa. “Mr Maynard stayed in the guest room last night, ma’am. He left early for work this morning.” “Work?” I repeated, confusion and exhaustion mixing in my voice. “It’s Sunday.” “I am not sure, Mrs Maynard. I only pass on what I have been informed. We don’t dare ask further.” “Thank you, Sasa,” I said quickly

Chapter: 62. THE SHOWA month had passed since I left Nonso. Only a few days since I became Jinhai’s wife. That night, I sat alone in the living room of the Vancouver mansion, my old phone trembling in my hands as I powered it on for the first time since the divorce. After everything, I had sent my parents a single message saying I was fine and asking them not to reach out. But Nonso, I had given him no warning at all. He didn't deserve it. The moment the phone connected, messages flooded in, long paragraphs from cousins, texts from my parents, and several from the man I once called husband. I stared at the screen, tears already welling up. Suddenly, the phone began to ring. Nonso’s name flashed first, then another call came in from Obimdinachi. I picked up with a silent sob, refusing to speak. “Jen?” Obimdinachi’s voice was soft and filled with concern. I cried quietly, shoulders shaking. Everyone had judged me so harshly. They judged me for leaving a good man, for not enduring whatever wickedn
