Malakai adjusted the cuff of his shirt in front of the mirror, his fingers moving automatically even though his mind was somewhere else entirely. The midnight black suit fit him flawlessly. Tonight had to be perfect.

Snow would be there.

And if things went according to plan, this dinner would be the first crack in the man's empire. He reached for his watch on the dresser.

The pain hit without warning.

A sharp pressure bloomed in the center of his chest, sudden enough that his hand froz

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   149 | Let Your Heart Beat for Me Again

    The operating theater was hushed, the bright overhead lights casting harsh shadows over the sterile field. Harper stood at the head of the table, her heart pounding so hard she could feel it in her throat. This was the first surgery of its kind. An experimental procedure designed to reverse severe cardiomyopathy. No one had ever attempted it on a patient this far gone.Her hands trembled slightly as she looked down at Malakai's still form under the drapes. The man who had fought through hell to get back to her lay vulnerable on the table, his heart failing faster than anyone had predicted.'Please hold on, Kai,' she thought, swallowing the lump in her throat.Tyson stood to her right as her lead assistant, his presence steady and reassuring. Alisa, was on the other side, her eyes sharp and focused.Harper took a deep breath, forcing her voice to stay calm."Scalpel," she said.The surgery began.Harper's hands worked with absolute focus as she made the initial incision, expos

    Malakai slipped towards the edge, catching himself at the last second with one hand on the jagged rock."Kai!" Harper screamed.Reyes laughed through the blood bubbling from his mouth."Look at that," he gasped. "Both of us... hanging by a thread. How poetic."Andrei and Aiden rushed to the edge. Aiden, despite his own injury, grabbed Malakai's wrist with both hands, pulling with all his strength."Hold on, Kai!" Andrei shouted, bracing himself. "We've got you!"Harper dropped to her knees at the edge, tears streaming down her face. She reached for Malakai's other hand, the sight of the waves below dizzying."Kai, please!" she sobbed. "Hold on!"Reyes' laughter turned into a wet, choking sound. His grip was slipping. He hung now by only three fingers, his eyes locked on Harper with manic intensity.Malakai's eyes darkened suddenly, dilating as a surge of unadulterated fury gripped him.The two parts of him—Kai and L—finally merged into one complete, unbreakable whole. The pain

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   147 | At The Edge Of The Cliff Pt II

    The wind was merciless. It howled across the jagged cliffside, carrying the scent of salt. Waves crashed violently against the rocks below, each impact echoing.Harper's car came to a slow stop at the edge of the clearing. Her hands were shaking.Three hours.That was all Reyes had given her.Climbing all the way to the top of the cliff was strenuous but the stakes were too high to ignore.When she got to the top, the cold air whipped her hair around. Her eyes scanned the area immediately.And then, she saw him.Simon.Her father stood near the edge of the cliff, his hands bound, his body swaying slightly with the force of the wind. Two men stood on either side of him, gripping his arms tightly.He was very much alive for now. But he looked dazed as though he'd been drugged.Harper exhaled shakily."I'm here!" she called out, her voice almost snatched away by the wind. "I came alone!"Reyes stepped out from the shadows, dressed in black, immaculate as always."Right on tim

    Later that night, after Harper's visit to her father's home, she stepped into Malakai's room again. He was still awake.His breathing was shallow, the oxygen line still in place, his skin pale against the sheets. His eyes found her instantly."Hey..." he whispered.She sat beside him, giving him a small smile."We're doing it," she said softly.His brow furrowed. "Doing what?""A private trial," she whispered. "My way."He stiffened."Harper...""My father approved it," she continued, her voice steady now. "We're bypassing the system. We'll use the original protocol... with adjustments."His eyes searched hers."...That's dangerous.""Yes.""...You could lose everything."She leaned down, pressing her forehead to his."I already lose everything if you die."That shut him up. His hand tightened weakly around hers."...You're terrifying when you're like this," he grinned.She smiled through her tears."...What are the odds?" he finally asked.She didn't answer immediately or lie.

    The fluorescent lights in the administrative wing were bright enough to cause a blinding migraine.Harper stood across the long polished desk, her hands braced against its surface, her entire body trembling with barely contained rage."You removed him?" her voice cracked, laced with utter disbelief and fear. "You removed him from the trial?"The director didn't even flinch."It was a necessary decision," he replied calmly. "His condition is unstable. We cannot risk—""You cannot risk?" she echoed, letting out a hollow laugh. "You replaced him with your daughter."It was true she was doing this for personal reasons. But she had done this the right way. She already registered everything."This trial could save his life," Harper pressed, her voice shaking now. "You don't get to take that away from him because of favouritism! His name was on the list! I—I handled—""It is not favouritism," he said. "It is prioritization."Her stomach dropped.Harper swallowed hard, blinking rapidly

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   144 | Enduring Love

    Harper stiffened when she felt the tension in Malakai's body. She felt it in the way his hand paused in her hair and in the way his chest rose a little too carefully beneath her cheek.Something had really happened.Malakai didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pressed a tender kiss to the top of her head, his arms tightening around her."...Kai?" she whispered again, her voice softer.He exhaled."I need you somewhere I can see you," he said finally. "Somewhere I can control what gets near you."Her brows pulled together, confusion flashing across her face as she leaned back just enough to look at him."That doesn't answer my question."His jaw tightened.Harper studied him closely. She saw the exhaustion in his eyes, the tension he was trying to hide and the way his thumb kept brushing her arm like he needed the reassurance that she was still there."...You're scared," she realized.Malakai snorted under his breath."I don't get that luxury," he muttered."That's not what I a

    Andrei Romanova stepped out of the sleek glass elevator on the ground floor of House of Romanova Dynamics Tower, the late-afternoon sun slipping through the lobby's floor-to-ceiling windows. Dressed in a crisp double-breasted cream suit and a white shirt with a few buttons undone, he was a c

    “Fortunately, no harm came to the baby. She needs rest. She will also require assistance in her daily activities to make sure she doesn’t pull the stitches. You can take her home now,” the doctor, a middle-aged blond-haired man, said to Malakai. He had the name badge “Dr Harrison” pinned to

    The explosion's echo died quickly, leaving only the high-pitched ringing in Harper's ears and the bitter chemical stink of smoke drifting across the grass.Harper's arms were already locked around Summer and Theo, crushing them against her chest so tightly that Summer let out a small, star
