The rain lashed down like judgment.

It didn’t fall—it punished.

It soaked her dress to her skin, heavy like regret. Her heels squelched on the cracked sidewalk. Her hair hung in ropes down her spine. Every step carved more pain into her legs, her lungs, her soul.

But Jade didn’t stop.

She couldn’t.

Because if she turned back now—he’d see her break.

Behind her stood Kain.

Silent.

Still.

Burning.

She didn’t need to look.

She felt his eyes on her—hot on her back like fire.

Like he was memorizing her.

The way she left.

The way she crumbled.

He didn’t chase her.

He didn’t beg.

And that shattered her more than if he had.

She bit her lip until she tasted blood .

You’re doing the right thing, she lied to herself.

He’s just a beautiful stranger. You don’t fall for every beautiful thing you see.

You’re saving him from you.

She crossed the street—toward the alley.

The shortcut to nowhere.

Quiet. Fast. Invisible.

Because girls like her?

They d

    The cameras snapped like lightning tearing across a black sky.And then—he stepped out.Kain Wolf emerged from the white Bentley.Noise erupted around him—shouts, camera shutters, fans screaming his name. The world wanted a fairy tale.A picture-perfect love story.But inside him?There was nothing but a hollow ache curling in his chest like rot.Scarlett stepped out after him. Her crimson dress clung to every curve like a promise she never meant to keep.She slid her hand through his arm with the ease of someone who posed for power, not for love.Like she was his.Like she ever had been.He looked away.Because no flashbulb, no crowd, no amount of applause could blind him to the truth.She wasn’t the one. The air felt too tight.His lungs burned with the weight of absence—Jade’s absence.He scanned the crowd, instinctive. Hoping.But all he saw were strangers and shadows.What replayed instead:The gunshot.The blood.The rain.A woman collapsing into him. Her heartbeat syncing with

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 6: When the Wolf Bleeds

    Kain should’ve kissed her. Her breath had trembled against his, her heartbeat thudding like war drums between them. One second longer and he would’ve taken her mouth, claimed it like a vow, ended the torment burning behind her eyes. But instead— “I’m sorry,” she whispered, voice cracking like something breaking in her chest. “But don’t follow me.” Then she ran. Not from the storm. From him. He didn’t chase. Couldn’t. Her words had gutted him, but it was her eyes—the way they flinched like he was the danger—that held him still. Outside, rain screamed down in sheets as she vanished into the dark. Her black dress clung to her like second skin, a ghost trailing through the headlights—flickering, then gone. His phone buzzed. “Boss,” his assistant crackled. “We’ve got her. Profile, address—want us to move—?” “No need,” Kain muttered, jaw tight. “I already found her.” He turned—and the world snapped. A car. Headlights off. Barreling toward her. His pulse flatlined.

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 5: The Flame and the Fallout

    Before Kain kissed her, Jade still thought she was in control. One second, she was playing a game. The next, she was falling into a kiss that felt like drowning in fire. Her lashes fluttered. Her breath hitched. Her entire body betrayed her. Kain’s mouth was fire—hot, firm, possessive. His hands gripped her waist like he’d earned the right to touch her. His tongue tangled with hers, a slow burn that ignited memories of how perfectly they'd fit. This was supposed to be revenge. A performance. Just one kiss to make Rob suffer. But Kain didn’t kiss like a man playing pretend. He kissed like a storm. Like he was tearing through her—one slow, devastating heartbeat at a time. Every wall she’d built cracked under the pressure. He tasted like ruin and want. Like danger laced in silk. Like a man who didn’t ask for permission to claim. Her spine arched. Her thighs squeezed. Her hands clenched his jacket like if she let go, she’d drown in everything he made her feel. God, she

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 4: Game On

    Kain Wolf had no intention of staying long. He walked into the Mazuka Hotel with steel in his veins and a ten-million-dollar check in his pocket—his exit strategy. Shake a hand. Drop the check. Smile like he cared. And vanish before dessert. This wasn’t a date. It was a chore. A formality arranged by his meddling godmother. Her final plea to “fix” the love life he didn’t want anyone touching. He wasn’t here for romance. He was here to leave. And then find her. Jade Miller. The only woman who hadn’t looked at him like he was made of headlines, inheritance, or sin. She’d looked at him like he was real. And that… had wrecked him in ways he didn’t understand yet. He slid into his seat at table sixteen, tucked in the corner of the candlelit restaurant. Discreet. Strategic. Cold. He pulled out the folded check—ten million, no strings—and set it by the water glass. He’d hand it over the moment the blind date sat down. A soft decline. A clean exit. And then he’d go f

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 3: The Revenge Date

    The night air kissed Jade’s skin as she stepped outside the glittering auction ballroom. But even the breeze couldn’t cool the fire dancing beneath her ribs. Kain Wolf. God, her mind wouldn’t shut up about him. The way he walked straight toward her like the rest of the room had vanished. The way his fingers had lingered around hers—absently, like he didn’t even realize the world was watching. And those eyes of his—dark, molten, full of something dangerous—had pinned her to her seat from the moment he sat on that stage like a sin up for sale. He looked like sin poured into a tailored suit—dark, devastating, and made to ruin someone gently. She’d melted in her chair. And no one knew. Not even him. Her phone buzzed again—cutting through the memory like a needle. She blinked. Pulled it out of her clutch. Rob. Thirty-seven missed calls. Dozens of unread messages. “Jade, please. I’m sorry. Please call me. I need to see you.” “You’re the only one I want. I made a

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 2: Promised A Wife

    Kain Wolf hated auctions. He hated the fake laughs. The overpriced wine. The desperate sparkle in people’s eyes, dressed up as glamour. But more than anything, he hated wasting time. Yet here he was—cutting short a critical meeting about his late grandmother’s philanthropic rehab center—because his assistant claimed there was “another kind of opportunity.” The center needed urgent repairs. Flooding had destroyed half the east wing. Patients in recovery were displaced—some sleeping under tarps. Kain scanned the emergency budget. Steep. Immediate. Non-negotiable. “Two weeks,” he said, voice clipped. “I’m already funding four major initiatives. It’s not just charity—it’s logistics.” The woman across from him, a rehab coordinator, leaned forward, eyes pleading. “Mr. Wolf, they’re relapsing. We don’t have two weeks.” Kain’s jaw flexed.The storm in his chest raged quietly. Then his assistant cleared his throat. “There’s a charity auction tonight. If you agree to be aucti

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 1:The Auction Encounter

    The call came just as Jade was about to walk out the door. “Please,” Rob slurred on the other end, desperation thick in his voice. “I messed up. I need you.” Jade froze mid-step, the phone trembling against her cheek.Her heart thundered beneath the silk of her dress. Outside her bedroom door, the air buzzed with excitement. Her family was nearly ready. She was already running late for the most exclusive charity auction in the city—the one Scarlett had manipulated her “connected” friends into securing invitations for—was finally here. It was supposed to be Jade’s night too. A chance to be seen. To feel like she belonged. She’d even saved up for weeks to bid on something small. A gift for Rob. For their anniversary. Now her mascara stung at the edges of her eyes. “I’ll be there,” she whispered. She didn’t know then that she was walking into a trap. — The moment Jade stepped into Rob’s penthouse, the air hit her like a slap—stale whiskey, sweat, and something sour under
