After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me A Father's Stand
ELARA'S POV:We fight our way through the house together.Alistair is beside me, his hand wrapped around mine, his eyes scanning the darkness. He is not a fighter even though he has black belt he earned whilst growing up but tonight, he is a warrior and he is fighting for our family.I am fighting too. I am fighting with everything I have. I am fighting for Hope. I am fighting for Alistair. I am fighting for the family that I almost destroyed. We step carefully over fallen debris, our breath coming in harsh, ragged gasps as we push past the burning velvet drapes in the corridor.We find Lysander in the great hall. He is wounded, his arm bleeding, his face pale but he is still standing and he has a gun in his hand, his finger on the trigger."Dad!" Alistair shouts.Lysander looks up. His gray eyes are wild. There is blood on his face, a cut on his forehead. His shirt is torn. But his voice is steady."Get your mother," he says. "Get everyone to safety. I will hold them off.""
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Warriors for Their Family
ALISTAIR'S POV:The house is a war zone.I am in the hallway when the explosion hits, thrown against the wall by the force of the blast. My ears are ringing. My vision is blurry. The world seems to tilt around me, the walls spinning, the ceiling pressing down. But I am still standing. I lean heavily against the paneling, coughing as thick gray smoke fills my lungs.I push myself up. I shake my head to clear it and then look around.I see them. Armed men, their faces hidden behind masks, their weapons raised. They are moving through the house like shadows, searching for something, searching for someone. Their boots echo on the marble floor. Their voices are low and guttural.I do not wait. I move.I have never been a fighter. I have always been the quiet one, the brilliant one, the one who solves problems with his mind instead of his fists. But tonight, I have no choice. I am fighting for my family. I am fighting for Elara.I grab a fire poker from the wall. It is heavy and sol
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me A Sister's Forgiveness
ELARA'S POV:One Week Later...I am sitting in the living room of Ashcroft Manor with Hope, a cup of tea in my hands and the house is warm and peaceful. Outside, the garden is dark and silent, the roses sleeping under the moonlight. The windows are dark, the curtains drawn, the world outside hidden from view.Hope is curled up on the couch across from me, her legs tucked under her, a book in her hands. She is fifteen or so now, growing up so fast that it makes my heart ache. Her dark hair is falling across her face, and her brown eyes are bright with concentration. She looks so much like our mother sometimes that it takes my breath away. She shifts slightly on the cushion, turning a page with a gentle rustle of paper."Elara," she says, looking up from her book. "Can I ask you something?""Of course sweetheart," I say.She hesitates but sets down her book and then looks at me with those eyes that see too much."Did you really try to destroy our family?"I freeze. The question
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Nikolai's Ultimatum
PRESENT DAY:I pull out my phone. I dial the number I have memorized, the number that belongs to Lysander Ashcroft which I know he is still using till date.He answers on the third ring."Lysander Ashcroft," he says. His voice is calm, measured, the voice of a man who has faced worse enemies than me. It is the voice of a man who has never known true loss. A man who has never had everything taken from him."Nikolai Drakon," I say. "I am sure you remember me."There is a pause on the other end of the line and I can hear him breathing."I remember you," he says. "I thought you were dead.""I should be. But I am not." I lean back in my chair. "I am out of prison, Lysander. And I am coming for what is mine."I take a breath. The words are cold and deliberate."I want my daughter. I want Camille. I want the money you stopped my father from making when you took him down. You will help me rebuild the Drakon empire, give me back what is rightfully mine, or I will destroy everything yo
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Daughter He Wants
Some Days Back…. NIKOLAI'S POV: The air outside the prison gates tastes different. I stand on the cracked pavement, my hands shoved deep into the pockets of my cheap coat, and I breathe in the freedom that I have been denied for twenty years. The sky is gray and heavy, the same gray sky that has been hanging over this city for as long as I can remember. The streets are loud with traffic and the murmur of people living their lives, unaware that a dead man has just walked among them. I adjust the collar of my jacket against the cold wind, feeling the strange, open weight of the sky above my head. I am that dead man. I am the man who was supposed to be forgotten, the man who was supposed to rot away in a cell until he died. I am the man who lost everything. My father. My money. My empire. My freedom. I lost it all because of the Ashcrofts, because of that family that thought they could destroy us and walk away without consequences. But I am not dead, I am not forgotten and neit
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Danger at Her Door
ELARA'S POV:The helicopter cuts through the sky, the blades chopping through the air. I look down at the familiar landscape. The fields. The forests. The manor, warm and golden in the afternoon light. The high stone walls surrounding the estate bring a sudden sense of relief.I land on the lawn. My mother is waiting for me at the door since I had called her that I was coming. She is standing under the awning, her arms wrapped around herself, her face etched with worry."Elara," she says. "What is wrong? You sounded upset on the phone."I walk toward her and I hug her. She feels warm and familiar and safe."We need to talk," I say. "It is about Camille."My mother's expression shifts. She leads me inside.We sit in the living room which was warm. The portraits of my ancestors from my father side look down at me from the walls."Camille called me yesterday evening," I say. "Nikolai Drakon has been released from prison and he is looking for her. He wants revenge plus he wants h
