“Stop,” I instructed Rade, glancing at the mansion in front of me.

Volkan Mansion.

“Ma’am? Is there a problem? Since we arrived in Miami, you’ve been insisting on this route.” He said, “Is there…”

“Slow and steady wins the race,” I smiled, my gaze lingering on the Golden cage that ruined my life. “But patience is a double edged sword. This is why I want this route.”

He raised an eyebrow.

“Mark my words, Rade.” I said, leaning against the car seat. “I will enter this mansion before tomorrow ends. I step into it with respect and my five year long yearning will end,”

“How… you’ll be entering the Lion’s den, Ma’am!”

I smiled, “I belong there, Rade. I’m the lioness after all.”

Silence loomed for a few seconds before I gestured at him to continue driving.

I glanced outside, the sound of the trees, footsteps and car speeding were familiar. Like the taste of a favorite food that worn out over time.

I was finally in Miami and I wasn’t leaving alone this time.

  • 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

  • After His Eyes Opened   Chapter 133

    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

  • After His Eyes Opened   Chapter 132

    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

  • After His Eyes Opened   Chapter 131

    “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

  • After His Eyes Opened   Chapter 130

    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
