My chest burned and my fists tightened, fingers digging into my skin. I was dying. Once again, I was dying.

Once again, I was about to lose everything at the hands of the same man I had always fought for.

Was this what unrequited love felt like? To give and give until there was nothing left but one's life and even that was useless?

The dagger Atlas Volkan lodged in my chest deepened and my body sank deeper. I shut my eyes, accepting my fate. This was it. I failed. I lost everything and now—

I heard it before I saw it.

A splash, strong arms wrapping around me, air filling my lungs as I gasped.

“You? How dare you?!”

As my vision focused, I realized the voice was yelling at the person who saved me. Their grip on me tightened.

“I knew you were heartless, Volkan. But this? You are crossing your limit.”

“Don’t you dare try to teach me how to treat my wife? Get away from her!”

I glanced up, watching as Atlas approached with an icy glare, the man holding me didn’t

  • After His Eyes Opened   Chapter 135 - A Love That Outlives Death.

    She was definitely Atlas’ daughter. “I… what?” “P-peace treaty, mama!” She said, turning to Leo as if it would make sense. Of course, their response was to burst into laughter. “Mommy!” she cried, “they! They said that! They! Argh!” she snapped, struggling with her limited vocabulary. “Boys!” I cleared my throat. “You shouldn’t tease your sister like that.” “She needed help with apologising, Mom.” Louis strolled forward, he seemed more carefree than I remembered. Something changed in the past few days and I wanted it to stay that way. “So, Leo and I came up with two words.” “The first two words they found on the wall in Daddy’s room. Sometimes, I wonder whose vocabulary is limited, hers or yours!” “Hey, Coco Face. You’re not the one getting into MIT so just shut it.” “Hold on, you’re getting into MIT?” I turned to Louis and pulled him into a hug. “Oh my gosh. My smart boy!” I kissed his cheeks and he wiggled out “Mom!” I chuckled. “I can’t wait to tell people at each br

    The world stood still as I locked eyes with Atlas. His blue eyes softened, staring at me with longing. Daring me to stay, to want — To persist and exist. I leaned in before freezing. Gunshots rang through. How were we still okay? Atlas pulled me in before I could turn. “You have a father who’s willing to go to war for you,” He gestured around and I realised for each wounded soldier, there were two other armed guards. The shots weren’t from the soldiers, they were from Father’s guards. “And…” he pulled me closer. “A husband who is willing to die in it.” I grabbed his color, our lips brushing. “Don’t you dare talk about dying.” His response was to tuck my hair behind my ears before whispering. “Can I kiss you?” I stared up at him. “Please,” Atlas captured my lips into his, “Forgive me, peek-a-boo, I love and respect you,” he said, breathless, but I am about to kiss you like I don’t.” I didn’t have time to react before I stumbled back at the sheer force of his collision. He

    The silence in the car was devastating, quiet, slow, and like a dagger sinking into my chest. I couldn’t form words, instead, I sank into the seat, watching the world pass by as I registered the betrayal. The betrayal that came from the only other person I thought was mine. “You’re not a bad person, Rade. You’re my best friend and—”“And your husband to be,” He turned to me. “I love you, Bella.”“It's Julia,” I corrected and he shook his head. “And I love Atlas.”“Which is why I’ll end his story today. I’ve called him to the border. There, several soldiers are protecting the country, there’ll be a terrorist attack, and between the two countries, tsk tsk tsk,” he shook his head. “One stray bullet will end him.”I shut my eyes, a tear rolling down my cheek. Rafe set Atlas up. I had to save him. I glanced at Rade, watching as he tossed his gun under his car seat. I was not a murderer. But, at this point, I woul

    “Atlas!” I cried, sitting up. I glanced around, eyes wide as I registered I was in a car, in the middle of… nowhere? Wait. I snapped to the side, my heart racing as brown eyes flickered to mine. “You…” I said, my heart racing. “Where are you taking me, Adeline?” I snapped. “What do you want now? How did you… How did you even get out of prison?!” “Shh.” She hissed, driving with a smug grin. “You shouldn’t talk too much, save your breath, because you’ll need it, Julia. Do you know where I’m taking you?” “Stop this nonsense and turn around, right now!” I snapped, “Where is Atlas? Where…” I trailed off, cradling my head as memories rushed back. I was with Atlas and then, I swam and someone grabbed me, they dragged me underwater so how did… How did I get here? “Adeline, you won’t get anything by doing this, trust me, you—“ “You’re so wrong!” She hit the brakes and I gasped, “I’ll get everything. Everything I want. I’m going to kill you and return as Atlas’ wife. He’ll be mine. I h

    I held my breath as Atlas took a step forward, his grip on me loosening. “I knew you would make the right —“ The man was on the ground in a second, cradling his nose. Wait. What was going on? This wasn’t what I thought would happen. “Look,” Atlas glanced at me, scrunching his nose. “It looks like a love tap. Your attempt is cute, but this isn’t how you teach people a lesson, Peekaboo,”“I don’t understand!” The man, whom I’d now registered as Mr. York, snapped. “You’re siding with her? Do I need to remind you that you could lose—““First off,” Atlas snarled. “Lower your voice and gaze when you speak to me. Second, I couldn’t care less about anything if the bargain is my wife.”The man’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Y-Your wife?”“I also hate repeating myself, or being asked dumb questions by dumb people.” Atlas continued, running his hands through his hair.He snapped his fingers and a guard stepped forward. “Take out the trash.”“Mr. Volkan, you can’t do this, I—”“Wait.” Atlas tur
