After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy No More Secrets
**CALISTA**I thought I was ready to see blood.But I was not ready to see what was left of Atlas Kane.When I peeped through the door as he undressed, I caught sight of the dry blood gluing his dress to his skin.I had imagined a deep gash across his back…maybe another bullet wound or fresh injuries from tonight.What stared back at me instead...was years of suffering carved into flesh. And I heard my heart rip into smaller and smaller pieces as my hands started to shake. Cuts. Like a psychopath's canvas, long, horizontal wounds lined his back in countless numbers but those ones were fresh. New. Adult wounds that did nothing to mask the real horror underneath. “Oh, Atlas…” my voice faltered, and I felt him stiffen when I lifted my hand—and brushed my fingertips along his skin.His flesh was melted in several places, as if someone had been putting out cigarettes on him for longer than even he could remember.I racked my brain for a memory of Atlas with these scars before I…before I
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy What They Did to Me
**ATLAS**I could not decide which weighed heavier on my chest—the numbness creeping through every wound on my body, or the quiet sound of Ledger drawing breath behind me.Calista had refused to let me put him in the boot. She had looked at me like I had lost my damn mind, and perhaps I had. But it did not matter now. None of it mattered. Calista was breathing beside me, soft and steady, and it was enough to keep me going, just the sound of it.The moment the car cruised to a halt in my driveway, she got out on the other end and yanked open the backseat door.Damnit, woman, slow down…I heaved a breath as my body peeled off the leather and a sharp sting rocked my back, but my feet found the stone floor and I moved around the hood and found Calista's lips pursed in deep concentration as she half dragged Ledger's pale body from the seat. She staggered back, and I thrust out my arm.“Easy…let me do it.”She grunted in response and tugged again.“Calista…”“I know, I know…” her breath h
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy The Gamble
**ATLAS**I never flinched when I saw the gun. Lily was left handed, finger already on the trigger.Too far to disarm.Calista was standing behind my right shoulder.If she fired center mass, I would fall backwards onto her.I kept her behind me, telling myself that if she was still alive, that was more than enough for now.“Going somewhere, dear?” My mother's voice cut through my mind. I turned my neck to find her hand still firm on Ledger's shoulder. His lips had turned a bluish purple, and it dawned on me just how much was at stake.“I did not put it past you to have a backup plan, but this?” I waved a hand, turning my glare to Lily's form, “... this is just pathetic.”“Whatever gets the job done, love. Kill them.” She nodded to Lily, voice sounding almost bored.My body tensed as Lily stepped forward, but I did not move back, did not give her the satisfaction of watching me cower like an animal. I stared into her dark grey pools, but I was not searching for the woman I used to
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy His Choice
**CALISTA**The pole was the only thing keeping me upright. My wrists burned against the ropes binding them behind the cold metal, legs trembling beneath my own weight as my body sagged forward. A violent shiver tore through me, forcing my teeth into my bleeding lip just to keep them from chattering.I had stopped praying for rescue.Now I was only praying for the courage not to break. My lungs felt as if someone had reached into my chest and grabbed hold of them, squeezing tight without mercy. Nausea clawed at my throat, but I clenched my stomach and tried to keep my eyes open, to not feel the goosebumps crawling over my skin.My scalp still burned from Lily's vicious grip, but I lifted my head up as a tear snuck its way down my cheek.Nobody was coming to save me. Too much time had passed since I saw Atlas, since he cradled me in his arms like he was scared to break me.Now my body itched for the warmth of his hard chest, his hairy hands cradling me deeper into his embrace. God…
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy Would You Rather?
**ATLAS**My mother used to measure my height against the kitchen doorframe, beaming with pride every time I outgrew the pencil mark she had made the year before. Standing before me now, wearing that same smile as she admired the chains biting into my wrists, I found myself wondering whether people truly rotted from the inside—or whether they simply woke up one morning and decided to bury whatever was left of their hearts.For my mother, it must have been the latter. And sitting in this chair, I found it almost ironic that I had run so far from this place only to be dragged right back in chains. Maybe we never really outrun our demons. We just ran in circles around them until they reached out to grab us. But my bones had grown weary from running, with every word Ledger said still clouding my mind even as his face paled and the smell of his blood hung in the air. I did not flinch under her stare, meeting it with all the anger that I could muster. “Do you ever get tired of playing
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy Last Resort
**CALISTA**My mouth felt like someone had stuffed it with cotton and left it out in the sun.I swallowed and immediately regretted it, feeling a sharp pain blooming behind my eyes—the kind that came after too much alcohol, too little sleep, or a tranquilizer dart fired into your arm by your fiancé's psychotic ex fiancée.For a moment, I lay perfectly still, waiting for my wrists to burn, waiting for the ropes, the cuffs, the chains…anything.Instead, when my hand drifted sluggishly toward my face, my fingers brushed my cheek without resistance.I froze.Then I moved again, slowly and carefully lifting my left hand, then my right. Free.Free?A knot tightened in my stomach. If the Martyrs wanted me restrained, I would be restrained, which meant they had chosen not to tie me up.And somehow, that felt much worse, and I found myself longing for the chains and the certainty of death. But it was not even my freedom that sent my pulse racing. It was the complete absence of blood on my ha
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy Blood on the Line
**MERRICK**The nurse kept asking if I was in pain, and I almost laughed.They thought I was shaken because of the fight, because of the blood—but I’d seen worse…done worse. This was not that. For the first time in my life, something creeped up my spine and stayed there, refusing to leave no matte
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy This is How You Disappear
**ATLAS**Calista still was not answering my calls, and now Merrick’s threat sat in my chest like a lit fuse I could not locate fast enough to cut.She was not in her office either, and I was starting to feel like something was very wrong. So I did the only logical thing—I tracked her phone. The
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy One Step Too Far
**CALISTA**I sat in the parked car too long, the engine already dead, but my fingers still curled around the wheel, like the email might rewrite itself if I blinked.My world was turned on its head after that, and in an attempt to reclaim the breath in my lungs, I printed all the images on paper,
After Rebirth, I Married My Ex-husband's Enemy When Fear looks like Rage
**ATLAS**The numbers on the screen blurred into meaningless lines, because for the first time in years, I found myself paying more attention to a silent phone than to a room full of men waiting for my decision.Still, I sat through the good news and bad news, and when it was over, my jaw ached fro
