“M-Me?” Adeline stuttered, shaking her head.

“What? Do you see anyone else claiming to be me?” I snapped. “Go on, start. I’ll also start, I have nothing to hide.”

I sat down and began sketching, Since I recently finished a bridal collection, I drew inspiration from that and focused.

The silence in the hall was heavy, but Adeline’s limbs must have felt heavier since she leaned against the wall, unable to reach for the sketchpad that had slipped down a while ago.

“Mrs. Volkan,” One of the reporters said and I raised my head to realize they were referring to Adeline.

“You don’t have to be scared, you can start designing. We are all with you.”

I shook my head, chuckling. They were all in for a rude awakening.

“I…” Adeline began, glaring daggers at me. “I can’t…”

“What do you mean by you can't?” One of them said, and soon, they were sharing glances.

“Does this mean—”

“It means nothing! She can’t just bring this up and—”

“Everyone knows Julia Volkan is the silver designer. She knows her

    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 have on

    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

    “This..” I said, taking in the decorations and grand penthouse. “It’s amazing, Atlas”“We have our own beach too!” He gestured at it, and I chuckled as the kids raced toward the penthouse. Atlas and the kids outvoted me on a road trip. Looking at the penthouse and hearing the kids' laughter, it was worth it. Atlas pulled me closer, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear as the water waves echoed.He leaned and engulfed my lips into his, exploring my mouth as his hands inched toward my waist. When he pulled away, I was breathless. “I’ve made a lot of mistakes,” He admitted and I raised an eyebrow. “Nothing I do can fix them, but that doesn’t mean I won’t die trying.”“Atlas…” I trailed off as he shushed me with his fingers. A soft smile graced his lips and the sparkle in his green eyes made me knee weak. He stepped back, knelt on both knees, and took my hands into his. “I’m going to make everything right, starting from now, I promise you…” He kissed my hands. “I’ll always stand by

    “You—” I began but Adeline’s laughter filled the car. Atlas and I shared a look, “How are you calling me?” Wasn’t she supposed to be on her way to the station? “I’ll make it simple for you, Julia,” She taunted, chuckling. “A crowded place, a couple of officers, and a narrow route at the back. You were sleek in exposing me but destroying me?” There was shuffling in the background. “That’s another ball game.” My stomach churned, grip on the phone tightening. “The police will find you,” I promised, “You won’t escape,” I responded calmly despite the storm in my chest. Atlas’ gaze traced me. “What is she saying?” he mouthed. I raised my hand to stop him when he reached for the phone. “I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your life in—” “Do you know what I’m staring at, Julia?” I froze, my heart stopping in my chest. “Guess. You have three chances—” “Quit your games!” I snapped and the driver pulled to a halt. “Don’t mess with me, Adeline. I’m sick of your drama, if yo
