“Wakey, wakey,” Jared said, placing a tray of breakfast on the bed as Melissa stirred awake. “Good morning, sweetheart. Hope you slept well.” He sat on the edge of the bed.

“What’s good about the morning, Jared?” she hissed, stretching and yawning. “Anytime I wake up and see your face, I know I should prepare for another awful day. What new surprise should I expect from you today?”

“Come on, Mel. Can we move past our differences, please? I hate fighting with you. I want to make up for everything I’ve done. We can go beg your mom to take you back. If she doesn’t, I’ll take care of you. Maybe when you give her a grandchild, her heart will soften toward you,” he explained, hoping to calm her down.

Melissa snorted. “Easy for you to say, isn’t it? I was already on thin ice with my mom before you showed up and made me fall into her trap. She’s not just punishing me because I got pregnant, but because it’s with you—her business rival,” she said. “Of all the people in the world, you had to pi

  • Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies   Sorry Isn't Enough

    Kaiden sat on the bed in his room, buttoning his purple and white striped dress shirt. His wound was gradually healing, but he still felt a bit sore at the spot. Hissing, he began folding the sleeves of his shirt. He heard someone grabbing the door handle and struggling with it.“Kaiden!” Kailani shouted from behind the door.“Shit, hold on a bit,” he responded, pulling down his sleeves to cover his wound. He wasn’t sure how she would react if she saw him injured from a bullet.“What are you doing? Open up already,” she whined.Kaiden rushed to the door, unlocked it, and twisted the handle to open it. The moment the door revealed Kaiden, Kailani threw herself into his arms, making him stagger as she enveloped him in a tight hug. He spun her around, despite the stretch he felt from his wound. Stetson closed the door behind him, leaning against it and watching the two.“Let me go first!” she groaned, pulling away from him. She felt lightheaded but didn’t care. “You were supposed to call

  • Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies   You Were Never There

    Heart pounding. Feet shuffling. Shoulders drooped. Eyes aching, begging for no more tears. Melissa wiped her tears with the back of her hand, took a deep breath, then grabbed the door handle and opened the door. The AC welcomed her with a chilly breeze, teasing her skin softly. She closed the door gently, heaving a sigh of relief. Her head turned from one corner of the living room to the other, scanning. Everything was just as she left it, but she wasn’t the same as when she left. Something twisted in her stomach as the scene of Eureka dropping the gas lighter on Cassandra flashed across her mind, tears threatening to fall again.“Don’t, Mel,” she cautioned herself, voice low. “She deserved what she got. Imagine her coming for me and my son if she isn’t dead?” she dreaded, her head dropping to the floor. She spotted a stain of blood on her big toe, recalling when Kaiden had dropped to the floor, shot.“She deserved what she got,” she reminded herself, chanting it like a mantra several

  • Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies   What She Deserved

    Cassandra started shooting wildly, taking down the three guards. She stepped on Raymond’s injured foot, making him groan as Melissa ran for cover behind the crates. Eureka pulled Kaiden aside, pressing his back against the wall. She tore his shirt, using it to wrap his bleeding arm tightly.“You’ll be fine, son. I love you,” she said softly, pecking his forehead.“Don’t get hurt, Mom,” Kaiden warned. She smiled warmly and nodded before stepping forward to face Cassandra.Seeing Eureka, Cassandra pulled the trigger. Eureka crouched just in time to dodge the bullet. Cassandra was running low on ammo. Before she could grab a bullet from a fallen guard, Raymond grabbed her leg, yanking her hard and forcing her face down onto the floor. She grunted, kicking out wildly and pushing Raymond against the crates. Some crates fell on him, drawing a sharp cry from his lips.“How dare you touch my son?!” Eureka growled.Cassandra reached for the gun again, but Eureka charged,

  • Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies   A Child for a Child

    “What?” the trio chorused.“What’s what? Do you think I’m infertile?” Cassandra chuckled. “I came back for the father of my child. Do you know the most painful part? This son of a bitch here,” she pointed an angry finger at Raymond. “He was all over Eureka again. Even when she sent him to jail, he still wanted to be with her, to have his kids back. And I spent over five years with him, yet he betrayed me for a woman he was only married to for two months. He even had the guts to have me wanted by the police after sixteen years. Was I supposed to lose everything? He proved to me that I wasted my time with him.”“It’s all my fault, Cassandra,” Raymond chimed in, remorse filling his tone. “These women are innocent. Kaiden is innocent. Do anything you want with me, just let them go, please,” he begged.“Aww! So adorable, isn’t it?” she laughed hysterically, her voice ringing through the room. “He wants me to let them go. Isn’t that crazy?”“We can sett

    Raymond pulled into the field. A vast, empty field stretched out before him, dotted with a single warehouse and a lone windmill standing sentinel in the distance. Two armed men were seen parading in the far distance. Raymond alighted from the car, walking around to open the door for Eureka. He pulled her out roughly like she was truly his captive.“I hate you!” she groaned, and he shrugged, leading her into the warehouse.The guard at the door did a pat-down search on Raymond.“Don’t you dare!” Raymond groaned when the guard turned to Eureka to pat down too. The guard retreated, eyeing Raymond before allowing them in.“What happened? You don’t want to see your ex-wife patted down in your presence? Are you scared it might turn me on?” Eureka taunted, sneering.“Shut it, Eureka!”“Why? Have you forgotten how many times I slept with other men and made you watch?” she laughed.“Don’t say another word!” he growled, gnashing his teeth as he glared at her. The s

  • Bound by the CEO: Torn by Lies   When Loyalty Burns

    Raymond insisted on driving Eureka to Melissa’s house. Instead of taking the road that led to Melissa’s place, he turned onto an access road, stepping on the gas and speeding past other vehicles like a bullet.“Are you insane, Raymond! Where are you taking me?” Eureka yelled, grabbing the handle. “Slow down, dickhead. You’re going to get us killed!”Raymond acted like he didn’t hear her and turned on some music, focusing on the road.“Raymond! I’m going to cause an accident if you don’t stop this car right now,” she warned. He didn’t respond. Instead, he increased the volume.“Ugh!” Eureka grunted, clenching her fists as she let go of the handle. “Bloody stop this car right now!” she ordered, grabbing the wheel.“Stop this madness!” Raymond groaned, trying to push her back. She resisted, struggling with him. The car swayed on the road, neither of them letting go.“I said pull over!” she demanded, removing her seatbelt and hitting Raymond’s hands away from the wheel.The car rocked as
