(LUKE'S POV)

I sat by her bed and gently took her thin hand in mine, recently she had lost weight and her thin hand was lost within my grasp.

"I don't know how to protect you, little one," I whispered into the quiet room, holding onto her, hoping she was strong enough to fight for both of us. With a final, lingering look, I slipped out of the room and headed home.

Chloe was waiting for me by the door, her arms crossed around her.

"What do you mean by locking her up, Luke?" she demanded.

I said nothing, pushing past her silently towards the cold, damp basement. There, chained to the wall with her legs suspended just above the stone floor, was Rachel.

She looked up to me as I entered. "I am going to tell my father!" she screamed at me as I walked in.

A cold, humorless smile touched my lips. "Unfortunately for you, your father sold you to me, wife," I said, my voice threatening. "The wedding will be official soon, isn't it what you wanted, to legally be bound to me.”

    ALEXA'S POVI sat on the edge of the bed, no tears, no pain, nothing, I watched as Luke rushed into the room, his face full of panic."Stacy," he called softly. "My love, look at me. I am so sorry". He begged, but his words felt distant. I merely sat there and let him pull me into his arms. "I will find her," he promised.“Can I lay down with you?" he asked, his voice weak against my ear. “Of course,” I said. He lay down with me, holding me close to his chest. He began to hum a lullaby. It was his mother’s lullaby, she used to sing it to us in the broken house at the orphanage. Right now she was no more, but the organization that had broken us was still thriving. I will destroy it. I vowed. I looked at him sleeping peacefully beside me. He was slowly losing himself to that group, becoming one of them. How many had started out like him? Trying to destroy the Orchid from within, only to become its most terrifying monster. I bet many. I couldn’t let that happen. I would burn it all to

  • ACCIDENTALLY HIS MISTRESS    IN YOUR SPACE

    (ALEXA'S POV)I stared at the box on the pavement. My gaze shifted to Rachel, who was kneeling, and Chloe, who kept on pleading with her son to be considerate. I ignored them and focused on Ethan who stood next to the box, waiting for someone to tell him what to do."Give her a proper burial". I said to him looking at the box again. But then I changed my mind. "No," I said, my voice trembling, "let's do cremation" He nodded.A gentle hand landed on my shoulder, and I turned to see Luke. He gently guided me toward a car. I moved without thinking, I got in and he slid in beside me. As the car pulled away, he opened a first-aid kit and began to gently wrap bandages around my hands."I'm so sorry," he murmured over and over again. But I barely registered his words. My mind kept going back to the scene, flashing images of Chloe’s body, broken and scattered.We arrived at the hospital, and Luke led me straight to my mum's room. "I tried to get in earlier, but they wouldn't allow it," he s

  • ACCIDENTALLY HIS MISTRESS    YOUR MOTHER OR MY MOTHER

    (ALEXA'S POV)The choice wasn't clear but it was my only choice. So I chose the devil I knew. However I later regretted this, when Luke dropped me off at the hospital entrance. He didn’t even turn off the engine, just watched as I helped Mum out before speeding away, leaving us completely exposed. Eventhough he was aware we had just escaped a kidnapping, he left us without even a single guard.Inside, they took Mum to a ward to begin running tests and giving her medication. I sat outside the room and dialed a number I never thought I would ever dail. Cole arrived faster than I could have imagined, with Lala and his own security team following behind. “Thank you Cole,” I said nodding toward the guards he had already posted at the door, praying I had made the right decision to trust him. He was an orchid lord, after all."I am so sorry!" Lala said as she crushed me in a hug. "I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me Gladys was an imposter?""It's fine," I murmured, holding her close. Her

    (ALEXA'S POV)I desperately wanted to tell him that the woman he called Mum was an imposter, but the words were stuck in my throat. How could I possibly explain the dagger plunged into her heart? I swallowed hard.“She is the one.” I replied.He stared at me as if I had completely lost my mind.“We shall get back to that later,” Gladys said. “Let me finish my story first.” She paused for a moment. “Now, where was I? Oh, right. I was explaining how and why I stayed after my mission was complete.”She laughed coldly. “I was fired from the Wilton family the moment they discovered I had secretly given birth. But I couldn't bring myself to leave this city. Good enough stupid Robert had fallen in love with me, and my daughter was still living in that home.” She smiled lovingly as she spoke of Nicole.“But how could I get close to her? I kept monitoring the Wiltons. When Nicole was seven, I discovered she was greedy and selfish, there was jealousy already growing inside her. I got a job as a

    (ALEXA'S POV)"What is going on? Why does she look dead?" Luke asked, pointing at the coffin."Because she is dead, dummy," Gladys said with a smile. "She has been dead for a long time, you are just stupid” she said examining the coffin “But you should thank me, I have preserved her, for this day, if I throw her in the lake it will depend on how you and her behave”“Do you think you can fool me with this?” Luke said, pointing at the coffin in disgust."Don't tell me you really believe that dummy is your mother.” Gladys asked curiously, but I was also curious, did he really believe that Chloe at home was his mother. "What do you mean?" Luke asked.Gladys looked from him to me, a challenge in her eyes. "Should I tell him, or do you want to?" She asked mockingly.Luke turned to me for answers, but I turned away from him and turned to look at the two women, one perfectly still in death, the other fighting desperately to speak. As I took a silent step forward, I noticed something about my
