After My Last Breath Chapter 288
[Damon]“You really need to stop, Damon,” Harry says, snatching the bottle right out of my hand. “If this continued any more, I wouldn’t know what to do with you. Ever since my dad kicked me out of the family, I’m not only short on cash but also on patience.”I look at him, and for a second, I feel a spark of annoyance. A flash of irritation. Who is he to tell me what to do? Who is he to take my bottle away?But then, the annoyance fades, replaced by a familiar, suffocating wave of despair.I slump back against the leather couch, the room spinning slightly around me. “What’s the point, Harry? What’s the fucking point?”“The point is to get your shit together,” he says, his voice firm, but not unkind. “You’re not the only one who’s lost everything, you know. Look at me. My dad disowned me. I’m living in a tiny, shitty apartment, working a dead-end job that I hate. But you don’t see me drinking myself into a stupor every night, do you?”I scoff. “That’s because you still have hope. You
After My Last Breath Chapter 287
After three hours of an exhausting search, we finally settle on a gown. It’s not flashy, not overtly sexy, but it’s stunning.A floor-sweeping, midnight-blue silk gown that clings to her body in all the right places, accentuating her long, slender frame. The neckline is a modest slash, revealing just a hint of collarbone. The back, however, is a different story. It dips all the way down to the small of her back, a daring, elegant expanse of skin that’s both sensual and sophisticated.“It’s perfect,” I say, a small, satisfied smile playing on my lips. “It’s elegant. It’s powerful. And it’s going to drive every bachelor in that room wild with desire.”Celine looks at her reflection, a slow, confident smile spreading across her face. She knows it’s perfect, too. She knows she’s going to be the center of attention, the star of the show. “I love it,” she breathes, her fingers tracing the delicate embroidery along the hem. “It’s… it’s everything.”“Good,” I say, my smile widening. “Now, all

I blink, momentarily confused. “You had yours?”“Yes,” she says. “I had one. At the shop. Daddy Griffin let me taste the strawberry one.”I look over at Griffin, who has just walked back into the living room with a wet paper towel in his hand. He’s cleaning up the melted ice cream from the floor, a small, knowing smile playing on his lips.“Thanks,” I whisper, my throat suddenly tight.He doesn’t look up, but I can see the muscles in his jaw tighten. “She’s a smart kid,” he says, his voice low and a little rough. “She knew you’d want one too.”I can’t help but smile. It’s the first time Vera has ever offered me anything without me having to ask for it. It’s the first time she’s ever communicated her thoughts so clearly, so directly. It’s a small victory, but it feels huge.“Well, thank you, sweetie. I appreciate it.”I take a small lick of the ice cream, the sweet, creamy flavor exploding on my tongue. It’s been a while since I’ve had ice cream, and I’ve forgotten how good it can be.

[Elara]The next time I wake up, my body screams in protest.Shit. What have I done?Not only did I sleep with Griffin again, but I did it in broad daylight too, with my daughters sleeping right in the next room, no less.Dammit. I’ve lost my mind. Why couldn’t I resist him?Maybe because of all the beautiful things he said before he made a very different kind of love to me. It wasn’t rushed or rough or slow or sweet. It was just right. And every time he got the chance, he whispered those same promises into my ear, as if afraid I would forget once I fell from the cliff of the insane pleasure he had worked so hard to take me to.I smile at the thought—at the feeling that’s happily bouncing in my stomach.Has he really fallen for me?I look over my shoulder and find the side of my bed completely empty.Wait. What the hell?I look around the room, for the first time realizing that he’s nowhere to be found. Not even in the bathroom. I should have heard something.Did he leave? The thought

[Elara]It’s like getting hit by a damn train.One moment, I’m standing my ground, arms crossed, telling myself this is just sex, that we’re just two adults getting what we need. The next, I’m on my back, and Griffin is a solid, warm weight on top of me, a force of nature I have no hope of resisting.Mine. Forever.The words hang in the air between us, heavy and absolute.A part of me, the part that’s spent years building walls around my heart, wants to laugh. To push him away and remind him who I am. Elara Gordon. The woman who survived the Blackwoods. The Grahams. The woman who doesn’t belong to anyone.She can’t.But that part of me is a whisper now. Drowned out by the roaring in my ears, the frantic thud of my own heart against my ribs. Because as I look up at him, at the raw, unguarded determination in his eyes, I don’t feel trapped. I feel… seen.He’s not looking at the Blackwoods’ cast-off wife. He’s not looking at the vengeful woman plotting her next move. He’s looking at me.

I blink.Have I? Fallen for her?Of course, I have. Who wouldn’t?She’s gorgeous. Outstanding. Brave.A definite example of beauty with brains.Only an idiot wouldn’t fall for someone as amazing as her.And I’m surely no idiot. I’m probably one of the smartest people alive.Kidding.But still. The fact remains untouched. I have fallen for Elara. Hard and very hard.She’s still looking at me, her dark eyes brimming with tease.She’s messing with me right now. But she has no idea what kind of bomb she has ticked off inside me with those playful words of hers. Can she even handle the consequences of detonating me right now?I suppose we’ll see soon enough.The corner of my mouth tips up, my gaze dropping to her lips before slowly climbing back to her eyes. “What if I have?” I say, and slowly—very slowly—start pushing my butt off the couch and leaning my hands on either side of the couch. “Would it be such a bad thing?”Seeing me leaning over, she instinctively leans back. Not breaking ey

[Elara]The drive to the mansion isn’t a long one.Barely ten minutes have passed when the cars start circling the roundabout and pulling up in the grand driveway.“Mommy, this place is so huuuuuge,” Cora gasps, her hands pressed against the window, her face glued to the glass. Then, as if struck b

[Damon]I look at the bright red ruby ring sitting proudly in the black velvet box.Nervous—for the first time.What if she doesn’t like it?What if she thinks it’s too little?What if she thinks it isn’t sincere enough?I sigh. Whatever. This is the first time I’m giving her something so expensive

For a full two minutes, I sit frozen in my seat.“Damon? Damon? Can you hear me? Damon!”I jerk awake, blinking too hard—too fast—trying to make sure this is real. I look around, searching for even the smallest hint that this is nothing but a nightmare.But the moment my eyes land on Hannah, my hea

“Elara has always been patient with you,” Grandma says, sighing heavily. “But you, on the other hand, never gave her the time of your life. Even when she was pregnant, you never cared. In fact, you blamed her for taking advantage of you. But have you ever stopped to wonder why she would want to hav
