Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TAYLOR’S POV We walked for hours. It was sun up when we started but when we stopped, the sun had left the sky. I guess my mind was so occupied with the Mission that I didn’t notice time passing until the commander of the ghosts came up to me and pointed at the clouds. The darkness of the night, was approaching. We needed to find a place to rest now before daylight fleets completely. “You are right. Let’s focus on figuring out where exactly we can lay out head for the night. We continue tomorrow.”He nodded, turning around the next second. “Two people for firewood. Two for gathering thick leaves the Luna can sleep. Two for finding a place to lay down and throw remaining four will stay here and guard the Luna while I scout for incoming danger, if any.” I glanced behind me. The ghosts in black were moving. There was no argument, no hesitation, no shuffling; they broke into groups so smoothly and head out the very next second. I had never seen this kind of coordination. It’s a though

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINETAYLOR’S POV“Are we set?” I asked immediately I met up with the ghosts at the garden. There were four of them, just like I had specified.“Yes we have everything we need for the journey. We packed extras too, just like you instructed in the note. A boat is waiting at the lake not too far from here. It will take us at least four miles from here. That is a very good head start. We will continue on foot front there. The path to the frost mountains is dreaded by all. We will not find anyone along the way so we brought enough to keep us as we go back and forth.”I smiled, a breath of relief leaving my lips. I patted him on the back. “You have done well. Let’s go.” They bowed and picking up one bag each they handed me the lightest load we were carrying. They turned around and started walking I took one step forward. A sensation, out of no where, rippled through my skin. I froze, instantly. “Taylor.”My heart stopped. My breath seized. I knew it was him the instant I felt that sensation.

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT TAYLOR’S POVWhile Zephyr and I focused on the problems of the pack, and fishing out the rest of the witch’s men, Oscala tried everything he could to fix Daisy’s problem. Long story short, nothing worked. Instead they hurt her more then the poison was hurting her. Theodore was still not cold and Daisy was slowly drawing nearer and nearer to the day of labor. For some reason, the witch and all her activities were dormant. Somehow that was an opportunity, a chance to fix some things that wouldn’t be attended to again when we start fighting her. Do everyday that passed without anyone planning on how to get that Jasmine Flower, the more impatient I felt and the less my concern for everyone became.By the end of that month, I was done.

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN TAYLOR’S POVAfter he said that, a spell of silence fell on our lips. There was a sudden conscious realization that we would have to wait for some kind of miracle because we were really unable to do anything for her. I shut my eyes for a moment and sucked in a breath. I could feel the hopelessness creeping in like a freezing cold. I hugged myself, shivering all of a sudden.‘He is lying .’ I raised a brow immediately. That was Pandora’s voice. ‘What did you just say? He is lying, are you sure? Oscala doesn’t lie. He can’t.’ I reacted to her words in my mind. I heard her scoff loudly, she sounded like she thought I was the stupidest person in the world because I thought so.‘You are so gullible and so dumb, Taylor’ she finally said her feelings out loud. I frown physically, forgetting I was around people who couldn’t hear Pandora’s voice. ‘He seems incapable of lying but he damn as hell does it pretty well. He is thinks doing you a favor by lying. If you really want to get the truth

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIXTAYLOR’S POV Oscala gave Daisy a sedative that would keep her sleep for days. On those four days, he tried everything he could to see if there was another qayto save her and her pups. By the fourth day, he could only come up with a way to slow down the poison but the fact still remained that either Daisy or her babies had to die We didn’t tell Daisy about the nature of her condition. It was my idea actually. I wanted to be sure we were out of options before I told her. Today it was obvious that there really was no other option. Oscala didn’t give her the shot today so she was awake. I insisted they I would be the one to tell her. Zephyr insisted on going with me. As I walked down that hallway, leading down to Daisy’s bedroom, I felt like I was about to die. I felt like I was going to the place where I would be hung by my neck. For some reason, it felt like dying was a better fate then the one Daisy was about to face. I stopped in front of her door and reached out for the handle.

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE ERETRIA’S POV I stayed in his castle for three days. In all that while, I was his toy. He used me to recreate all his sick sex fantasies and for the first time in my entire life, I felt so powerless. I felt like I was screaming but no one could hear my voice. I felt like I was wailing but no one could see my tears.His cold Castle felt like an ice prison. I could have managed if he didn’t use every opportunity to spread my legs apart and stick his thing into me. He wasn’t even the littlest bit gentle. I screamed and he rocked me harder, ordering me to call his name and moan for him.On the fourth night, I knew I had to leave here. But if I was going to, I had to stop trying to fight him. I had to stop showing him I still had my will and I still had a voice, a mind of my own. I had to show him that I was his slave and he had won over me. He has successfully broken me.That night, I was in his bed, naked. The sheets covered me but only a little. He lay on me, his head resting on my st

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.

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

She noticed the car has been moving in circles in the parking lot."George, why are we still moving? Isn't the car supposed to be parked by now?"
