Malakai set his wine glass down, his expression calm. Panicking wasn't on his agenda tonight.

"Right now," he said, "I'm more interested in rebuilding trust."

Eric Snow's fork paused halfway to his mouth.

Maddison's breath caught audibly. Her eyes went wide and glassy with a sudden, fragile hope. She leaned forward, gripping the stem of her own glass so tightly that the crystal creaked.

"Trust," Snow repeated slowly. His gaze darted from Malakai to his daughter and back again. "It’s a rar

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   117 | The Price Of Justice

    The black SUVs had boxed them in completely. Tyson's hands tightened on the wheel, his knuckles white."Hold on," he said, his voice now steady despite the panic flashing in his eyes.Harper clutched Summer close. The little girl was already crying, her small hands gripping Harper's shirt."Mummy... I'm scared...""I know, baby," Harper whispered, her voice trembling even as she tried to stay calm. "Mummy's got you. Just close your eyes."Malakai was slumped against her shoulder, his breathing labored, his skin burning through his shirt. He tried to lift his head once he regained consciousness."Harper... the kids—""Stay with me," she begged him, pressing her lips to his damp temple. "Please, Kai. Just stay awake."Tyson didn't hesitate. He slammed the car into reverse and floored it, the tires screaming against the asphalt.The SUV behind them tried to block, but Tyson swerved hard to the left, clipping the front bumper and forcing it to skid sideways. Metal crunched and glas

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   116 | End Of The Rope

    The front door burst open harder than Harper intended. She rushed in, breathless and sweating, terrified of the possible state she could find Malakai in."Mummy—!"Summer ran straight into her legs, her small hands grabbing at her pants, her face blotchy and wet with tears."He fell! Daddy fell!"Harper dropped her bag immediately, crouching just enough to steady her daughter, her pulse already racing."Where is he?"Summer pointed towards the living room, her lower lip trembling. Harper didn't wait. She rushed in... and froze. Malakai was on the floor. He wasn't unconscious.It looked like he'd tried and failed to get up. His shirt clung to his skin with sweat, his chest rising too fast."Kai—!"She dropped to her knees beside him instantly, her hands flying to his face. His eyes dragged up to meet hers, hazy but aware."Hey," he rasped. "Relax... Summer overreacted."Harper's expression didn't soften. "Did you pass out?"He huffed weakly. "No.""Kai.""I said no," he muttered,

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   115 | A Wrong Turn

    Harper stood frozen in the hospital corridor, the name "Diana" echoing in her ears. The woman in the wide-brimmed hat offered her a gentle smile."I know this must be shocking," Diana said softly, her voice trembling just enough to sound vulnerable. "I didn't want to ambush you like this. But... I didn't know how else to reach you."Harper's gaze finally met hers. She looked just like Oliver."I'm not here to cause trouble," the woman continued, her eyes wide and glistening. "I promise. I just... I need help. Malakai owes me that much, doesn't he? After everything."Harper felt the floor tilt beneath her. Diana glanced down at the boy beside her."My son," she said, her voice cracking. "He's sick. Really sick. The doctors say he needs his father. He needs stability. He needs Malakai."Harper's stomach churned. Nausea rolled through her so fast she had to swallow hard to keep it down.Diana moved closer, lowering her voice to a soft, desperate whisper."I don't want to make yo

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   114 | Nerves & Ghosts

    Harper's heart slammed against her ribs as Malakai collapsed forward into her arms, his burning forehead pressing against her shoulder."Kai—!" she gasped, one arm wrapping around his back to keep him from sliding to the floor. He was heavy, his body trembling. "Kai, stay with me. Please."His breathing came in short, ragged pants against her neck."Harp..." he managed, his voice hoarse and weak. "I'm... sorry...""Don't apologize," she whispered fiercely, her free hand cradling the back of his head. "Just stay awake. Talk to me. Tell me what hurts."He tried to lift his head, but it lolled slightly. His skin was scorching under her palm."Chest... tight," he panted. "Can't... think straight."Harper's eyes stung with unshed tears, but she forced her voice to stay steady and soft."Okay, Kai. I've got you. We're going to the bedroom, alright? Just lean on me."She shifted carefully, sliding one of his arms around her shoulders and wrapping her own arm around his waist. He

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   113 | The Need To Be Yours

    The front door cracked open, and Harper's breath caught in her throat. Andrei stepped in first, one arm looped firmly around Malakai's waist for support. Malakai limped heavily beside him, his face drawn with pain and exhaustion, but his other arm was wrapped protectively around Theo, holding their seven-month-old son close against his chest.Theo's face was buried in his father's shirt, his little fists clutching the fabric, still sniffling from the ordeal.Harper rushed forward without thinking. She reached for Theo first, gently lifting him from Malakai's arms. The baby whimpered, then immediately clung to her, burying his face in her neck with a soft sound."Shh, baby... Mama's here," she whispered, pressing kisses to his soft curls and rocking him instinctively. Her eyes filled with tears as she held him tight, breathing in his familiar baby scent.Andrei helped Malakai the rest of the way to the nearest armchair. Malakai sank into it with a low groan, his bad leg extende

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   112 | The Day Mercy Died

    Malakai stared at Maddison for a while, his mind temporarily wiped out by the absurdity of the situation. She wanted a date with him? After everything she had done?The laughter started low, rumbling from deep in his chest until it grew louder and sounded more and more unhinged by the second.Theo stared at his father, curious and confused. Maddison, on the other hand, was beginning to tremble with fury.He was mocking her.Malakai wiped at the tears that leaked from his eyes with unhurried movements."I'm sorry," he said in between laughs, his shoulders jerking. "I'm really sorry...but...that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," he said.Maddison tightened her grip on the knife, consumed by a fury so great it made her thoughts grow darker in a span of seconds."Do you not know where you are, Kai?" She demanded, her voice nearly a growl.He wiped at the tears clinging to his dark lashes, a smile tugging at his lips."Do educate me, Maddison dear," he said.She falte
