The desk lamp lit the sheet of paper where I slowly wrote the list. I wrote a few items with hands still trembling, daily clothes, lecture notebooks, assignment folder, one thin blanket, two mugs. Then my hand stopped in the middle of the seventh line. I stared at the words for a long time before crossing them out.

Five thirteen. From below I could hear the sounds of servants moving porcelain plates and crystal glasses. I closed the notebook slowly.

I stood and opened the wardrobe. The dark blu

  • Alpha Daddy, My Se(X)cret Desire   Chapter 112

    SERA'S POVThree weeks later, we went home.The small house on the edge of Sandpoint was still standing. The grass in the front yard had grown a little taller, dry leaves scattered across the porch.Gabriel helped me out of the old car. My body was still weak, the C-section scar still stung if I moved too much, but I didn't want to wait any longer.Lucas, Ethan, and Noah were asleep in three car seats that barely fit in the back. Gabriel had to order them specially online—three car seats that could line up in that small car. It took two weeks for them to arrive, but finally we could pick the babies up from the hospital.I looked at the house. The windows were dark. The front door was shut tight, but something felt wrong."Gabriel," I whispered."Yeah?""Do you feel something strange?"He didn't answer. I turned to look at his tense face. His eyes narrowed toward the house, his nose twitching slightly."We're not alone," he said quietly."Marcus?""Or his men. I smell at least four dif

    SERA'S POVI fell silent.Gabriel's words were still echoing in my ears, like thunder in broad daylight."What?" I whispered.He sighed, his hand still stroking little Lucas's cheek."After this, I'm going to turn myself in to Marcus. I'll ask him not to come after you, not to bother you, not to bother our children.""No.""Sera...""NO!" I nearly shouted. Lucas squirmed, startled by my voice. I lowered my volume, but my anger didn't subside. "You're not doing that. I won't let you."He looked at me with soft eyes, but that softness only made me angrier. "It's the only way.""Liar! There's always another way!""There's no other way.""I don't care! I won't let you go!"Gabriel carefully placed Lucas back into the incubator, then did the same with Ethan and Noah. One by one, with gentle and loving movements, he separated them from my embrace. I wanted to scream, wanted to reach for them again, but my hands were still weak."Listen. As long as I'm free, Marcus won't stop. They'll keep s

    SERA'S POVThe first sound I heard was the sound of machines.The second sound was the sound of breathing. Heavy breathing, sometimes broken, like someone trying to hold back tears.I tried to open my eyes. My eyelids felt heavy, as if weighed down by a thousand tons. White light pierced my retina, making me blink several times before finally getting used to it.White ceiling, fluorescent lights, the smell of antiseptic.I was in a hospital.I tried to remember what happened. The black cars that surrounded us, then the pain in my stomach. Seizures, panic, then Gabriel carrying me to the car.I turned my head slowly. My neck hurt. There was a stinging sensation on its left side, like a fresh wound, but I didn't care.Next to the bed sat Gabriel.He was crying.Gabriel Bloodfang, the man who never showed weakness, who always stood strong in front of anyone, who used to destroy enemies without blinking, he was crying. Tears streamed down his face, wetting his cheeks that had started to s

    GABRIEL'S POVTwo weeks later.Her condition didn't improve. It got worse.At first, it was just small declines. Her heartbeat weakened a little. Her blood pressure dropped. The doctor said that was normal for a coma patient. But then her fever spiked and wouldn't go down. An infection spread through her body. The antibiotics weren't working as effectively as hoped.Dr. Chen called me into her office that afternoon. Her face was serious, more serious than usual."We need to talk."I sat in the chair across from her, my heart pounding erratically."Sera's condition is weakening. The infection is spreading, and her body isn't responding to treatment the way we hoped.""What do you mean?""It means that if there's no significant change in the next few days, we could lose her."I gripped the armrest of the chair tightly. "No. Is there anything I can do? Anything."Dr. Chen looked at me for a long moment, then sighed."There is one way, but it's outside conventional medical practice. I can

    GABRIEL'S POVI stood in that hallway for two hours, leaning against the cold wall, staring at the operating room door that never opened. Sometimes I sat in the uncomfortable plastic chair, then stood up again, then paced back and forth, then sat down again.I couldn't lose her.I wouldn't be able to live without her.I'd already lost so much in my life.If she left, what was the point of me holding on?I clasped my own hands, trying to stop the shaking. It didn't work.The door opened.I stood up tense.Dr. Chen walked out.I stepped closer. "How is she?"She took a long breath. "All three babies survived."I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The babies were alive. My children were alive. But why was the doctor's expression still flat? Why wasn't she smiling?"All boys, all healthy. One of them is a bit smaller than his two brothers, but no serious issues. They're in the NICU for observation.""And Sarah?" My voice was hoarse.Dr. Chen was quiet."Doctor? HOW IS SARAH?"She looked

    That night, we didn't end up leaving.The bags were still scattered in the car. Two small suitcases, a bag of food, blankets, and the remaining cash. The small house felt empty after we'd nearly cleared it out. But we were too exhausted to move everything back inside. I left the things in the car.Sera sat on the edge of the bed, her face deathly pale. I prepared a glass of warm water for her, but she refused. Her eyes were blank, staring unfocused at the wall. I knew she was still thinking about what happened that afternoon."You need to rest," I said, sitting beside her.She nodded weakly, then lay down. I covered her with a blanket, kissed her forehead, and walked to the kitchen to put away the glass.But ten minutes later, I heard a sound from the bedroom.I ran back.Sera was lying in bed, her body shaking violently. Her face was flushed bright red, sweat soaking her forehead and neck. I touched her forehead. Burning hot."Can you hear me?"She groaned, her eyes squeezed shut. He

    Just as I feared, the worry that had been eating at my mind since morning finally came true. I had just stepped out of the taxi in front of Gabriel’s apartment building when I saw a figure I knew very well standing awkwardly in the lobby. Neatly combed brown hair, a backpack slung on one shoulder,

    I still held his tie, locking myself in the dark gaze of his eyes. The word "good" from him hung in the hissing air between us, in the narrow space left before our lips truly touched.He did not close that distance. He let it remain open. My breath hitched, my chest felt tight from a mix of smolder

    The ride back to Gabriel's apartment was thick with silence. It wasn't a comfortable silence, but one vibrating with what had transpired in the office and the weight of the performance we were to put on tomorrow. I sat beside him, my fingers unconsciously stroking the silk scarf around my neck, fee

    Gabriel fell asleep on my lap.I didn’t even notice when exactly he drifted off. The movie was still playing on the screen, its sound soft and warm, but my focus had never really returned to the story. Gabriel’s head slowly dropped onto my lap as he finally surrendered to the exhaustion that had be
