Reyes sat frozen in the back of his blacked-out SUV, the live feed from the rooftop restaurant still playing on his tablet. Harper had just said yes.

She was crying into Malakai's chest, smiling through tears as he slipped the new ring onto her finger. The two of them kissed like they would both die if they didn’t.

Reyes' hand tightened around the tablet until the screen cracked. He had truly believed he had her.

He had broken her, threatened her, shown her exactly what he was capable

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   146 | At The Edge Of The Cliff

    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

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   143 | In The Shower

    The master bathroom was filled with warm steam, the air thick and hazy. Malakai stood in front of the mirror, a towel hanging low on his hips.He was just about to take it off and step under the spray when the door opened softly behind him.Harper walked in, completely naked.Her skin glowed under the soft bathroom light, carrying a faint flush. Her hair fell in loose and slightly tousled waves over her shoulders, the ends brushing the tops of her breasts. She looked at him with soft, hungry eyes, a shy but playful smile curving her lips."Honey," she called gently, her voice warm and inviting.Malakai turned, and the moment his gaze landed on her, his breath caught. His eyes darkened with raw desire as they slowly dragged over every inch of the gentle curve of her waist and the soft swell of her breasts. Noticing the way her nipples had already tightened in the warm air."Well, hello there," he said, his voice low and husky. "To what do I owe this very welcome surprise?"Harper

Harper had just said yes.She was crying into Malakai's chest, smiling through tears as he slipped the new ring onto her finger. The two of them kissed like they would both die if they didn’t.Reyes' hand tightened around the tablet until the screen cracked. He had truly believed he had her.He had broken her, threatened her, shown her exactly what he was capable of. And yet here she was... choosing Malakai again.A roar of pure, blinding rage tore from his throat."Detonate the bomb at the house!" he snarled into his phone. "Now!"He watched the feed a moment longer, his chest heaving, as Harper and Malakai stood wrapped in each other's arms under the stars.One of his men called back almost immediately. He answered the call right away."It's done?"There was a pause.Reyes' expression didn't change, but something dangerous flashed behind his eyes."...

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   141 | The Night We Said Yes

    The city stretched endlessly beneath them, the night breeze carrying the faint hum of life far below.But up here... it felt like their universe had gone quiet.Harper stood near the edge of the rooftop, her hands resting lightly against the railing, her soft pink dress swaying gently around her legs. Her hair moved with the wind, brushing against her cheeks as she stared out at the skyline.For the first time in what felt like forever... She could breathe without feeling like she was suffocating.Behind her, she heard the soft, uneven rhythm of familiar footsteps. Her heart skipped a beat."Kai..."She turned slowly.Malakai stood a few feet away, dressed in black, the city lights catching against the sharp lines of his face. His staff rested in one hand. He looked at her like she was his everything."I was starting to think you’d leave me waiting," Harper teased."You really thought I'd let you have a rooftop dinner without me?" He replied, smiling.She let out a soft, breathy l

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   018 | First Kiss

    A startled gasp slipped from Harper’s lips at Malakai’s bold words. Since when did he become like this? She couldn’t help but wonder. And worse, she hated the reaction he was pulling out of her. She suddenly didn’t know where to look. No. She couldn’t afford to let down her guard and let h

  • Be Mine Again, Dear Wife   017 | A Crush

    Harper swallowed past the lump in her throat as she stared at Malakai. Surely, he wasn't going to try approaching her, was he? How did he even find her? Her frustration simmered. She needed to slip away as quickly as possible, or she would miss another opportunity to meet the stranger who h
