Malakai's mouth curved into the kind of smile that started in his eyes before it reached his lips. He didn't step back. He stayed close enough that the scent of his cologne wrapped around her.

"Harper Evangeline Hemsworth," he said, her full name rolling off his tongue smoothly. "I'm asking you to date me. For real."

Harper's lips parted on a soft, surprised exhale. For a second she simply looked at him, taking in the faint shadows under his striking eyes, the stubborn set of his jaw, an

    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,

    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

    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

    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

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   111: A Date With You

    Malakai's hand had just closed around the vibrating phone on the coffee table when the front door burst open with a loud bang. Sierra stumbled inside.She was crying hard, choking on gasping sobs that made her whole body shake. Her uniform was torn at the shoulder, one sleeve hanging loose. A dark bruise was already blooming across her cheekbone, and fresh blood ran in a thin, steady stream from a gash above her left temple, dripping onto the collar of her shirt and down the side of her neck.She saw Malakai and rushed towards him, her legs buckling halfway across the rug. Andrei shot up from the floor instantly."Sierra—”She caught herself on the arm of the couch, her fingers digging into the fabric."They took him," she choked out. "They took Theo."Malakai went absolutely still. The phone kept ringing in his hand, insistent.Sierra's knees gave out completely. Andrei lunged forward and caught her before she hit the ground, easing her down to sit on the rug. She clutched
