Chapter: The End? [106]Author's POV She was immediately greeted by Aurora, who stood there with an unmistakable grin.“Sister-in-law,” Aurora said teasingly, “I know you both are extra romantic, but everyone is waiting for you.”Aria flushed instantly. “You say that as if you and your husband aren’t the same,” she shot back.She reached up, gently fixing Aria’s slightly disheveled hair, her expression soft and affectionate.Vincent stepped out of the closet as well, composed once more. The three of them walked out together, leaving toward the gathering waiting downstairs.The ceremony went on amidst soft laughter and shared smiles, happiness spreading easily through the gathering.

Moments later, the name was announced aloud, and quiet applause followed as the ceremony slowly began to draw to a close.Eira rested in Vrishabh’s arms when she suddenly started to cry. He instinctively murmured softly as he tried to calm her, his

She still got shy and he loved that about her how her cheeks would warm up, when he teases her.She turned to face him fully. Her hands slipped around his neck, pulling him down toward her.

Chapter: Princess [104]Vincent POVThe whispers, they crawled into my ears, low and desperate, only loud enough to be remembered. Somehow, they made me feel something close to pride.Not happiness. Never that. But a cold, brutal satisfaction. She deserved the same pain, the same fear, the same helplessness she had forced me to live through.“Please… don’t do anything to my child.”Nisha’s voice broke as she cried, desperation tearing through every word. She begged.I didn’t stop.I just watched her.If anyone ever says I’m a psychopath, I won’t deny it. Because when it comes to her I am exactly that. A monster. One I don’t even try to control anymore.I don’t lose myself in rage.I chose it.The child’s cries tore through the room pleading, broken, terrified.

Chapter: His Confession [103]Aria's POVHe didn’t answer. He just looked at me silent, unreadable, his gaze heavy enough to pin me in place.I struggled, trying to pull away from him. I didn’t want to be here, not like this. I wanted distance, anything that would stop my heart from hurting this way. I twisted, my body tense with the need to escape, but his grip tightened instead, firm making my blood boil.“Leave me,” I snapped, my voice sharp with anger and pain.He didn’t.Before I could understand what was happening, he pulled me toward him. His lips crashed against mine suddenly, desperate, fierce and my heart stuttered in my chest. The kiss stole the breath from my lungs, catching me completely off guard.I fought it at first. I really did. I pushed against his chest, tried to keep my guard up, tried to remind myself why I was angry, why I was hurt. But he didn’t let go. He held me there, steady.And slowly, against my will, my resistance cracked.The heat of the kiss seeped into me, melting the anger, so

Chapter: Pathetic Love [102]Aria's POVThe baby’s cries slowly eased as I fed her, the tension in my chest loosening with every quiet breath she took. I could feel his presence beside us silent, watchful.“She’s… hungry,” he said quietly, almost stupidly, as if stating the obvious.I smiled.In my arms, she relaxed completely, her tiny body growing with comfort. Her little eyes fluttered for a moment before closing, peaceful and safe.I looked up at him as he carefully took the baby from my arms. His movements were slow too slow…like he was afraid even his breath might wake her. He walked a few steps, every one of them cautious, before gently placing her into the crib.He stood there for a moment, not moving.She stirred, her tiny hand lifting slightly, but her eyes didn’t open. After a second, she settled again, drifting back into sleep.His gaze softened in a way I had never seen before.I notice the exhaustion in his dark, heavy, sleepless eyes. He had been awake almost the entire night and the previous nig

Never.He was a man who destroyed everything, not one who waited helplessly outside a door.For her he did.All he wanted…..and needed was for his Brown to be okay.

Ang kanyang kamay ay kumapit sa palibot ng kanyang pulso, hinihila siya gamit ang isang lakas na nag-iwan sa kanya na walang hininga.Bago pa siya makalaban o makasigaw, inikot niya ito sa isang mabilis na galaw.

Humihigpit ang kanyang lalamunan. “Ang pinirmahan natin… bago ang kasal. Sinabi ni Rowan na ito ay isang anim na buwang kontrata…” sabi niya gamit ang kanyang nanginginig na boses.Hindi gumalaw si Vincent. Hindi siya sumagot sa kanya. Ang kanyang tingin ay nagiging mas matatag sa bawat dumaang segundo, umaabot tulad ng isang walang hangganan.Pagkatapos ang kanyang boses ay bumagsak, tahimik ngunit matalas na sapat para humiwa sa kanyang delusyonal na mundo na kinabubuhayan niya.“Walang kailanman naging kontrata, Brown.” Gumalaw ang kanyang kamay habang inilalagay ang kanyang buhok nang tuwid sa likod ng kanyang tainga.Nahuli ang kanyang hininga. “Ano.......ano ang ibig mong s

Hindi siya tumingin sa kanya.Yumuko siya, kinuha ang bag na dala nito, ang kanyang mga galaw ay matalas at kontrolado.

His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride•
"𝑨 𝑮𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆"
In the kingdom of evils, he was a god feared as a monster.
Xavier Stone, a gangster. A name that made even devils bow. He built his empire from blood, sin, and the screams of men who thought they could defy him.
A man with no mercy, only hunger for power.
And yet, one woman brought that evil god to his knees.
Iris Ashford... kind, yet strong when it mattered.
She was everything he wasn't.
When fate moved, it struck hard. Her marriage proposal landed on his table like a loaded gun. And that moment was the beginning of his possession.
When Xavier Stone desired something, the world burned in ash before he let it go.
Iris could face anything, but marrying a criminal was never her choice. She despised men like him, a gangster, the kind who caused pain to others without a flicker of guilt. She would've done anything to stop it, to escape the fate that chained her to his name. But destiny turned merciless, and in one twisted move, she found herself bound to the very man she swore she'd never belong to.
Then began his dark devotion...

Instead, she had turned his own games against him.“You disgust me!” Iris screamed, her voice breaking through the room. “You’re fucking not even a human being.

Something in Iris’s voice reached her, but instead of easing the pain, it only made it burn deeper inside her.She was hurting.Burning from the inside with a pain so fierce that it was slowly turning into something else, something dangerous. Something that would burn down everything standing in its way.Iris sat beside her and gently pulled Emily closer, letting her lean against her. She looked into Emily’s swollen eyes for a moment before speaking.“I know what happened to you isn’t something you can just forget,” she said softly. “And I know there’s probably nothing I can say that will

Chapter: That day [153]Author's POV Emily lay alone in the quiet darkness, her body sinking heavily into the soft mattress as she stared blankly at the floor. Closing her eyes, she shifted to find a comfortable position to rest, but her hand brushed against something hidden beneath the covers. When she pulled it out, she realized it was the same folded piece of paper Lucas had given her.Sitting straight up, an instinctive urge compelled her to read it right then. Unfolding the note, her eyes scanned the handwritten words left by Lucas:As she opened it, her eyes scanned the words, every line forcing a tear from her eyes as her hands trembled while looking at the page.The words blurred before her eyes. Every line on the paper felt like it was tearing her apart. Anger, agony, betrayal, every emotion seemed to burn through her from the inside.The paper slipped from her hand, landing beside her on the bed.Emily simply stared ahead into the darkness, looking at everything and nothing at the same time.

Chapter: The Performance [152].Emily’s POV I stood in the stunning pista-colored dress, looking at a reflection that resembled a dead person. I pushed the thought back; there was no reason to dwell on it, as it wouldn't change anything, and I knew it.The white heels lay inside their expensive box as my gaze drifted down to my feet, which still had a bandage wrapped around them. He was finding new ways to torture me. I pulled them out of the box.Every strap felt painful as I put them on after a struggle so much so that a tear rolled down my cheek. What was I doing? Why was I here? Every question raced through my mind. The old Emily was crying in a corner, my heart telling me to fight, not to let this happen. But it felt like having your hands tied tightly behind your back while someone hands you a knife and tells you to free yourself.The animal shelter was everything, the only legacy I had left, the only haven for creatures who had nowhere else to go. He knew it, and he was using it to break me piece by piece.S

A dull ache pulsed through my head, and my skin prickled with an uncomfortable, crawling sensation.I tried to remember where I was; nothing came to mind.I pushed myself upright, desperate to move.“Ma’am, slowly.” Someone caught me by the arms before I could fall and carefully guided me back onto the bed.I blinked repeatedly, trying to clear my vision.The room slowly began to come into focus: the ceiling above me, the unfamiliar walls, and the worried face of the woman beside me.My breathing hitched.Where was I?“Calm down. You’re in a hospital VIP room.”I looked at her, still trying to understand what was happening. My gaze fell to the badge pinned to her uniform, confirming that she was a nurse.“What happened to me?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“You had a panic attack. You fainted,” the nurse explained gently. The
