Chapter: CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTAYLOR’S POV“We had a deal that you would rest and go out with me after the signing. That guy over there, the one you're going out with, he does not look like me. Just thought I would remind you because I want to believe that you are confusing him for me and you actually want to go out with me like you promised, you don't want to go anywhere else.”I turned, ,my lips parting to say something. She raised her hand, shunning me. “Nope; absolutely not. I don't want to hear it. I know you have the perfect excuse for everything but it won't cut it this time not with me. You are staying right here, getting a really good rest and then you are going to see the doctor.”She spelled them out for me while she stood akimbo at the hallway. I knew for a fact that I was stronger than her and I could ask my guards to hold her for me but I also knew how she could be. She would never let me leave until she allowed it.“Daisy it's important. My peace of mind is at stake.”“Yes of course a piece of

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND FIVECH286TAYLOR’S POV The council hall was full again like the day we called many kingdoms together to prepare for the witch but this time around we were planning peace. Zephyr was still not waking up so I was going to have to handle this on my own. Well at least that’s what I thought. I placed the last piece of jewelry I had picked for the occasion, on the center of my forehead, it was a red jade. I turned to leave but before I could open the door it was thrown ajar by the only person I knew would there to come to my room without locking, Daisy.“Daisy.”I screamed. Forget poise and Grace I ran to her and we hugged each other giggling like a couple of high school girls “Oh my dear friend I thought I would never see you again, that you would say abroad forever. I was so lonely.”“I would never leave you silly. Best friends stay together that's like real number one of every friendship.” She said squeezing me tightly.

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND FOUR TAYLOR’S POVA WEEK LATERI lay my head next to him, my eyes were closed and my lips were sealed. My mind had drifted into a reverie and stayed there. I thought about how it felt these few days Zephyr had been in a coma. How cold I was because he wasn’t lying next to me. I was immediately reminded of the many times I had gone out on my own to do things without telling him. I remembered his when he told me how it hurt him I remembered his warnings. I really thought I had understood the way he used to feel back then until now, now I realized that I only had a glimpse of it. It was in this moment that I had the full picture I really put him through all this hell with all those other things did; those times I went off on my own, when I almost made love to Oscala in my mind. Looking at him now I stopped to think imagine if he had gone to do the same with another woman, how would I have felt?. We weren't officially married so he could do that. Now that I think about, Zephyr may have bul

She staggered back, swinging her own claws to hit me but Pandora was faster. Pandora swung hers fast enough, cutting her face, and breaking her nose.The witch wailed, stumbling back and falling.

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND TWO TAYLOR’S POV “We keep going North. I sensed him there. They must have picked a different route to ‘no man’s land’. I’m site they have a good reason so let’s keep our heads up so we won’t fall victim of whatever it or they were avoiding that made them take that route.” Oscala said to us as he rose fast towards Zephyr. I was right behind him and the ghosts stayed on my tail. We just left the original road Zephyr had mapped out to use. Now more than anything I wished I could just shift or fly over there or something.But w has to preserve our strength. We had to make sure that we were in full form for whatever it is we were about to face. Sometimes things had to be this way, even though it sucked so much. Oscala made a sharp turn, guiding him horse into a narrow path and racing down. K joined him, everyone too. Oscala increased his speed. He must have picked something up.

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND ONEZEPHYR’S POV“Affleck come here.” I beckoned on the boy. He rushed over immediately. I pulled him away from everyone for a moment. “Listen boy. That witch, she is down to one last man, Zulu. Once she sees him she will not care about any of his men. She hated him dearly, she will definitely kill him before she moves forward. I need you to make her come to us. But most Importantly, save Zulu. He is tip top priority.” He bowed and rushed off, taking a horse. The boy was really good. He rode his hire better then many men I know. He moved so fast. Before I knew it, he had vanished. I signaled the others with me.“The witch is coming our way. She is coming in hot and anger. Braces yourselves for her. If you have any trump cards I suggest you pull them all out now because you will need everything you got to survive.”They chorused ‘yes’, rushing tents to get through weapons. I took her chance to get to high ground. I looked towards Zulu’s group with the telescope. I flinched immediately

contract marriage with a crippled Billionaire
"You're here to play nurse, not to pretend you care," he snapped, his cold gaze locking onto hers.
"And you are here to waste your life because it's easier than fighting for it," she shot back, her voice shaking but defiant.
He wheeled closer, his jaw clenched. "Don't think for a second that you can fix what is so broken."
I'm not here to fix you," she whispered, her eyes unrelenting. "I'm here because I believe there's more to you than this bitterness.
He was the untouchable golden boy of his family, a magnetic presence destined to inherit a sprawling empire. His charm, his power, and his perfection made him unstoppable until a car crash shattered his life and left him confined to a wheelchair. His once-loyal followers turned their backs, leaving him drowning in the bitterness of betrayal.
She was living proof of her family-a forgotten daughter whose dreams of becoming a doctor kept her sane amidst years of neglect. All she wanted in life was freedom, but fate had other plans. Forced into a contract marriage with the epitome of misery, she found herself engulfed in a battle she never asked for.
Their worlds collide in a storm of resentment and vulnerability. Underneath his bitterness, though, lies the ruins of a man who had everything to lose-and the dim hope of someone who could help him find it again. As she works her way through his fury, and he pushes against her kindness, a bond forms-a bond neither expected.
But with jealous rivals scheming in the shadows and old wounds threatening to tear them apart, their fight for love becomes a war for survival. Can two broken souls find strength in each other, or will the scars of their pasts destroy them both?

I brought gifts."Just as Maya was about to speak, one of the guards rushed in. "Sorry, ma'am, I'm sorry, sir," he bowed to Ethan and Maya. "We tried to stop her at the gate, but she forced her way in. We can drag her out now if you don't mind."The guard nodded to two of his men, who moved to grab Clara. "No, leave her. You can go," Ethan said, his rich baritone voice commanding but soft.Clara's eyes flashed with annoyance. "Your guards are mannerless. You need to ditch them and hire another security team.

The dining table was set with precision: plates, cutlery, and napkins were arranged perfectly, water glasses were filled, and small, scented candles cast a soft glow on the white tablecloth. The flames danced gently, glinting off the wine glasses between them. Soft music played in the background, and trays of food were arranged in order."You did all of this?" Maya asked, blinking hard, her surprise evident in her voice. "I...I thought you were joking."Ethan smiled, leading her to her seat at the right-hand side of the table. "Now you know I'm serious. Come on in, let's eat; you must be starving." He pulled out her chair, and she sat down, still looking around in wonder."My lady," he said, bowing his head stylishly, making her giggle. He then wheeled himself to the head of the table.The aroma of the food wafted through the air, and Maya's lips curled into a coy smi
