2025-06-05 08:01:28I didn’t expect that reaction.
His jaw had actually slackened.Misha Ashford, the legendary warlord, the elusive billionaire, was stunned speechless by me.A shiver of horror chased up my spine as my own gaze dipped lower to the impossible proof of how much I affected him. And then something else crept in behind the embarrassment.Power.Something I almost didn't recognise. Not after Ezra's betrayal with Meredith. Not after Misha revealed that the man I always knew to be my father was not even mine to begin with.I shifted just slightly, crossing my legs the other way, and the thigh-high slit of the dress responded like a secret weapon, sliding higher. His gaze followed it like a man possessed. That was the moment I realized I didn’t want to obey him. Not tonight. Maybe not ever again.“Get off of the car,” Misha’s voice was low and jagged as broken glass.I cocked a brow. “Or what?”His eyes burned d

“I’m out.”“You still have something left,” Misha said, tilting his head toward the others. “Don’t you, Brayden?”Dominic scoffed, tossing in another chip. “If this is about pride, we’ll keep playing. But don’t think we’re betting our whole net worth just because you’ve got a lucky streak.”“I’m not asking you to bet your net worth.” Misha finally looked up. The crooked grin returned, sharp as the scar on his face. “I’m daring you to.”The table went silent.Seconds later, Hunter muttered, “What the hell kind of game are you playing?”“The kind where cowards lose more than just money.” Misha leaned back in his seat, arm draped lazily across my chair again, his voice cool and calm. “We have a deal.”They bristled.And so… they played.Forget money, it was all about shame.To fold now meant cowardice. To leave meant humiliation. And none of them, despite their generational wealth and loud bravado
Accidentally Kidnapped the Warlord and Became His Wife 19. No Luck at This Table
Misha's crooked grin returned like a harbinger of destruction as he stared at each of Sebastian's friends. “When I’m done with you, you’ll be praying you only lost your woman.”So, I turned to Misha with a clear intention of refusing it. “You don't get to do this, I’m not your–”“Angel.”I hated it when he called me that.Misha's starless dark eyes seemed to gleam somehow. “Let’s dry their trust funds and inheritance out.”And just like that. Everything had been settled before I even got any say in this. We stepped into the private poker lounge that Sebastian's friends booked. Misha’s hand rested lightly on my lower back, steering me toward the table like this was all routine. Maybe it was for him, I didn't know.Sebastian hesitated at the entrance.He didn’t say anything, but his reluctance was obvious in the way his steps slowed, in the stiffness of his shoulders. He didn’t want me here among them.
Accidentally Kidnapped the Warlord and Became His Wife 18. Brother by Blood, Stranger by Choice
"...Lorry?”The name was said too softly, too hesitantly, like the speaker already regretted saying it. But I knew that familiar voice too well.I turned, my stomach coiling tight, and saw him.Sebastian, my brother.Or… half-brother.That word still scraped against the walls of my mind like broken glass. Vincent Vescari. The name Misha had said with grave finality this morning. Not Zachary Redmond. Not the man I called father my whole life.Sebastian wore a navy suit, and his hair was neatly parted at the side. His drink was untouched, fingers clutched tight around the glass like it was the only thing keeping him from falling apart.And those tired, familiar eyes widened as they met mine.For a split second, the urge to hug him was nearly overwhelming. He had always been the one who shielded me when Father’s moods got sharp, who shared secret snacks under the old piano bench, who stayed up with me when I had ni

“What are we doing here?” I asked, my voice still slightly fizzy from champagne and the high of petty satisfaction.Misha kept on walking. “Clothes.”“I have clothes,” I stopped short on the sidewalk. “I can swing by the house later and—” “No.” His voice was flat, leaving no room for argument. “You’re not going back there.”It wasn’t a suggestion.Honestly? I didn’t want to go back either.Not after yesterday. Not after the way they stood by and watched me be humiliated in front of an entire courtyard. Not after my father—no, the man who raised me, not my father—wanted me to still marry the man who cheated on me with my own sister. He didn't give me a goddamn ounce of concern. And now, after this morning’s casual bombshell that Zachary Redmond wasn’t even my biological father?Screw him.I looked down, jaw tight, heart heavier than I wanted to admit. “I wasn’t planning on it.”“Good,” Misha s
Accidentally Kidnapped the Warlord and Became His Wife 15. Can't Handle Hand-me-downs
I eyed the champagne flute warily as the boutique attendant placed it gently in my hand like it was holy. Dom Pérignon, a vintage, no less. Liquid money in a crystal glass.Tempting.But I was a lightweight. Embarrassingly so. One sip too many and I’d either start crying about betrayal or serenading the entire boutique with Taylor Swift ballads. Both were solid options for a breakdown, but neither was ideal when I was supposed to be playing the perfectly happy Mrs. Ashford.I was about to refuse when I glanced across the boutique.Ezra’s jaw was locked. Meredith had her arms crossed, her pastel sundress now slightly rumpled as she snapped something under her breath. They were standing in front of the ring case, gesturing and frowning, clearly struggling to find something that could outshine the Legacy Vault set I had chosen. Oh, this was worth the risk.I took a sip. Then another.A warmth spread down my throat and into
