SCARLETT

He went rigid, his eyes flickered from shock to guilt then back to its normal glint.

“I don't know what you were told, Scarlett. I don't know who lied to you.” I stood. I listened. He didn't fumble; Father never did. Maybe that made it hard to know if he was really saying it, if he really meant it, or if it was another ploy to get me under his control.

I stepped back and into Creighton's embrace.

“This is a ceremonial event. We shall talk about our private matter later.” And by later,

    The moment she uttered those words, my heart stopped, my body going still for a second before I said, with a grin, “Careful, sweetheart, or I might just marry you right here.”She replied with a smile.Only if she knew I meant every single word. I would wed her and make her mine legally, 'cause she has always belonged to me and when she said she wasn't letting me go.Fuck!!!!!I had planned all this mostly to watch her do what she always wanted to: to stare at the sky not feeling like a prisoner, but a bird—a free bird.She dug into her food, her eyes lighting up.“This is so good.”“I could make better,” I joked as she scoffed.“You would probably burn down the restaurant on the first try.”“Firstly, ouch, and secondly, Noah has influenced you.”“Only stating facts.”“Which can be proven wrong.”“Can it?” She leaned against her chair.“It can.”“Then you can prove it. We are in a restaurant; I'm sure they will let you whip up something.”I almost cursed at her words.“What is that, M

    We said goodbye to the kids and walked out toward the car. Even in the dim light of the evening, I could feel his intense, burning gaze on me.“Did I do something wrong?” I asked as he held the passenger door open.“Driving me completely insane just by existing? Yes,” I let out a soft laugh and slid into the leather seat. Adrian leaned over, clicked my seatbelt into place, and pressed a lingering kiss against my cheek before closing the door.A gentle warmth bloomed in my chest. He rounded the car, climbed into the driver's side, and pulled out into the night. His right hand immediately reached over, lacing his fingers through mine, weaving a comfortable silence between us.The car eventually screeched to a halt, and Adrian stepped out, rounding the hood to open my door. The moment my heels hit the pavement, a barrage of flashbulbs went off as reporters surged forward. Camera shutters clattered like gunfire. For a terrifying second, memories of my past came rushing back—those painfu

    There are two versions of Tyler Brooks. There's the doting college boyfriend who posts cute couple photos on Instagram, and then there's the hockey star who picks out my outfits because he claims he knows what flatters a girl with a little extra cushion.My finger brushed my screen as I stared at the last text he had left:Going out with the guys, don't call me.I thinned my lips. He had won a huge game for his team; they were, as usual, going to celebrate.I shifted my gaze to the mirror in front of me. My pale skin shimmered under the soft midnight glow, my brunette hair tossed into an upper bun. I wore a sleek black dress that did nothing to cover up my chubby legs and thighs.Tonight was the night we took our relationship further.Tyler and I's relationship was arranged the old-school way, by our families, to them it was a political alliance; to me, to me, I was marrying the love of my life. The only man that hadn't shamed my body.I rustled out a sigh, my finger running against

    The ride took fifteen agonizing minutes, every second stretching into an eternity that twisted in my gut. My breathing shifted from shallow to ragged as fear tightened its grip around my throat. The suspense was suffocating, terrifying, yet the only thing reassuring me was that I was still breathing.Breathing meant I was conscious, and consciousness meant I still had a thread of control.When the car finally skidded to a halt, I threw money at the driver and scrambled out. My boots hit the slick, broken pavement. The stench of rotten garbage, damp sewage, and decaying leaves hung thick in the air.I pushed past the alleyways and rushed up the rusted stairs until I was standing right in front of a heavy steel door. I took one deep, trembling breath before I knocked, my knuckles striking the cold metal with a sharp sting.A second later, the door creaked. My heart rate slowed to a tiny, agonizing thrum—so faint I thought I had stopped breathing altogether.The door swung open, and a to

    Silence descended through the club—thick, deafening, and just enough to shut them all up. Jack shoved me behind him, his surprisingly broad back instantly making me feel invisible and protected.“What the fuck did you just say?” a voice boomed as Daniel's face twisted into the deepest shade of red. He spat out his drink, stepped off his chair like it was a throne, and stormed over, his hand shooting out to grab me—but Jack casually shrugged him aside.“I said don't touch her.” Jack snapped, his voice low yet lethal.“Who the hell are you?”“I don't need to repeat myself.”“You do,” Daniel sneered. “Quinn is my woman.”His woman? Suddenly, it hit me, he knew I was a living, breathing person—not a prize, not a trophy, and not a plaything he could toss around whenever he felt like it.“She isn't,” Jack said coldly.“Quinn!” Daniel bellowed, his voice echoing off the walls. “Stop this and come here right now! You don't like the game? Fine. You don't want to drink? Okay, we'll stop, but do

    LILY“Mummy!!!!”The tiny voice screamed as the figure ran over, his little feet kicking up clouds of powdery sand. My eyes, which had been fixed on Adrian a moment ago, finally shifted to Ethan, who was sprinting full-speed toward where Adrian and I were lounging.“Is something wrong, sweetheart?” I asked, sitting up and trying to untangle myself from Adrian’s tight grip. His arm remained anchored around my waist, holding me firmly in place.“Mummy! Daddy! Emma buried Noah!”“What?” The word rolled off my lips faster than I could process it.I scrambled to my feet and followed him, with Adrian trailing right behind us. My pounding heart slowed to a steadier rhythm at the sight of Noah—completely buried under a pile of sand with only his head sticking out—while Emma happily scooped and piled even more sand on top of him.Both of them looked absolutely thrilled.“Mummy, Daddy, look! I buried Noah!” Emma giggled.I shook my head, stepping over to carefully pull Noah out of his sandy gra
