Raven

I woke up not being able to breathe; my face was pressed so tightly against Killain's chest that it trapped all the air in my lungs. His grip around me was so tight that I had to bite down on his nipple to wake him up.

“ Hmm ….” He moved but didn't let me go.

I bit down harder until he finally flinched and opened his eyes." Why did you do that?”

I used that opening to escape from his hold and moved to the other side of the bed.“ Because you were suffocating me!" I grumbled.“ Get up, it's morning!"

He groaned, his eyes falling close again. I tapped on his arm, forcing him to open his eyes.“ You can't go back to sleep, we have to get ready.”

He let out an angry breath before sitting upright. I stared at him; and he looked exhausted, with bags under his eyes.

“ Don't you ever take breaks?" I asked, as I got out of bed to get ready.

“ My patients need me …..I take breaks during my sleep hours “ He picked up his shirt and started dressing up while I rummage through my closet to

  • Craved By My Husband's Brother    056. A Fair Threat

    Raven I peeked through the corridor carefully, holding my purse to my chest. Alex was fast asleep on the couch and it was nine in the morning. He had stayed awake all through the night working on the case while I just sat in the distance trying to make myself useful until I made out plans today. I tiptoed past the living room and towards the front door. If I'm going to do something about my messed-up life, then I can't sit in that room all day and do nothing. I have to take some actions even if it's risky. Today was the day I was supposed to meet with the investors in Viktor's company, and I'm not missing it for anything.This is my chance to have my revenge on Viktor, and if this works out, then I'm one step ahead of him. The front door was locked, and it took me ten minutes to search for the key while praying that Alex didn't wake up. I finally found it and got out as soon as I could. I had to walk a reasonable distance before getting a taxi which dropped me at a restaurant whe

  • Craved By My Husband's Brother    055. The Missing Piece

    Raven Nero doesn't love you, but I do. Nero doesn't love you, but I do. Nero doesn't love you, but I do. These words have been ringing in my head for seven days after I made a foolish decision that ended up putting Killian behind bars. He's not getting out any time soon, not until Alex works something out. We haven't spoken much because he has buried himself in papers and screens, trying to piece evidence together to help Killian once his trial begins. He's a dedicated and intelligent lawyer. He's barely had sleep this past week, and I've been worse. I've been miserable, spending my nights in bed confused about what the hell was happening. Why was my life like this? Everything turned upside down since I lost my memories and I can't even remember. I feel like I'm living a burrowed life with just fragments about who I was before and zero knowledge about who I am now. I can't go to the hospital, I can't go out, I can't do anything but sit in this house and wait. Alex says

  • Craved By My Husband's Brother    054. Run With Me

    Raven Every step I took down the aisle was terrifying. My fingers were trembling around the bouquet. People were staring at me, some with loving eyes and some with nonchalance. I don't know any of these people. This was not how I had imagined my wedding to be. In a crowd of unfamiliar people and marrying a man I barely know.Am I being stupid?Probably yes because there's only one explanation for why my heart is pounding like crazy as I walk down the aisle towards him.I'm scared.Deep down…I feel like I'm making a mistake. I don't have to marry him and I'm even more scared and worried since he handed over the evidence to the cops. He had told me the cops were on standby for Killian. The moment he shows his face at my wedding, they'll arrest him, and he'll finally pay for all the things he did to me. Now I feel like this wedding was the trap to lure Killian out. I should be happy, right? So why am I not?Why does it feel like I'm missing something, like I'm walking straight into

  • Craved By My Husband's Brother    053. A Wedding Card And A Death Wish

    Killain It's all happening again, my mistakes, I've hurt her all over again. I never do anything right , the only thing I'm good at is opening people up and stitching them back up. Nothing ever works and I'm tired. I hate this …I fucking hate that I always make the wrong decisions whenever it comes to people that I care about and now it's happening all over again. I'm better now … in fact, I'm supposed to be discharged tomorrow, but I'm leaving this place now. Alex had been coming over, still trying to help me out but my nervous system had shut down. She already found out about everything, both the ones that are true and the ones that are not. I'm just too weak emotionally to do anything else. I'm in a hospital bed, curling the IV tube between my fingers. It's empty and removed from my wrist….The only thing keeping me here is this last pint of blood. “ Are you sure you don't want to do anything about this whole thing?" He asked for the tenth time now and my answer remained th

  • Craved By My Husband's Brother    052. Wishing it was you

    Raven I took slow steps into the room and towards Killian. I kept my face neutral and from where I stood, I could see the conflict in his eyes. “Raven….I…” He started and I raised a finger, shutting him up. I dropped the CT scan results on the table roughly, crossing my hands over my chest.“ Explain to me why you had me undergo an MRI Scan without my permission?” The room turned silent as we both stared at each other for a brief second. His eyes fell to the brown envelope; his chest rose and fell erratically. " Raven….its…"His Adam's apple bopped up and down. “Oh wait….”I circled the table, tracing my fingers around the edges.“ I know everything now… there's no need to try to deceive me anymore.” “ I'm not deceiving you…I never did.”He attempted to stand but winced and sat back down.“ Whatever thing Nero has been feeding you with, I swear it's not true.” I chuckled.“ So you've been aware this whole time that I was with him?” “ Raven….” I yelled, my anger slipping out

  • Craved By My Husband's Brother    051. Betrayal In White Coat

    Raven I'm waiting at the laboratory, tapping my fingers on the receptionist desk as the clerk goes through my hospital files. Nero had dropped me off at St. Nova Hospital a few minutes ago. I'm angry, I'm angry because I trusted Killian. Even up till now, he still hadn't found a way to contact me; he probably didn't know I've been bailed out. He just abandoned me….he's probably in his house or somewhere in this hospital chilling around with Scarlett. After all the promises he made to me…after all the words he sputtered from his mouth about helping me. He lied to me, then abandoned me in prison. He didn't even come to check up on me,not even once. If Nero hadn't stepped in, I would still be behind bars to this day. Killian would have left me there to rot while he fucks around with Scarlett. They're better off together anyway. I bite down on my lips , the mere image of them together sent bitterness down my throat. It's more infuriating because I thought we were connecting. We
