SLOANE

I groan as my eyes flutter open. My head is pounding like someone is drilling a hole inside my brain.

I swear I’ll never drink again.

My mouth tastes bitter, and my body feels like I danced barefoot on concrete.

Which... I might have.

I sit up slowly, squinting against the too-bright sunlight filtering in through sheer curtains I definitely don’t recognize. It takes a moment for my brain to register where I am.

Our supposed room. I don't know when I'll get used to this.

I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and immediately regret it as the world tilts.

My silver boots are neatly placed back in the closet and my jacket back where it was.

Why would someone put- my thoughts pause as the scent of fabric softner reaches my nose. It's already cleaned?

How long have I been asleep?

With shaky legs that won't cooperate, I walk towards the shower, hoping that will make me feel better.

I don't know how long I take before drying and throwing on the longest pants and long sleeved T

  • DEAR STRANGER, MARRY ME AGAIN   Chapter 42 ~ Merely reminding you

    IAN“Ian Quinn, let go of your brother right this instant!” Dad's voice booms, but I don’t release Arnold as I choke him even more.The little shit gasps for air as I add more pressure.“It was you, wasn't it?” I growl pushing him further into the wall.Arnold’s eyes widen, bulging now, his face turning a sick shade of red. He claws at my wrists, but I don’t budge. “You were the one who told her where to find my wife, didn't you?” “No..I..I didn’t!” he wheezes, his voice barely a rasp.“You did!” I slam him again, a brutal thud echoing through the room. “I took her to my private villa. The road she used that day was a private one so unless Madoxx is a fucking Wizard, it must have been you!”“Ian, enough!” Dad tries to pull me off him, but I shrug him off like he’s nothing. “Stay out of this Dad. This is between brothers.” I growl with detest.“He's your brother! Why would he want to hurt your wife?” I laugh as I release the fucker roughly on the floor. I turn to face my father who

  • DEAR STRANGER, MARRY ME AGAIN   Chapter 41 ~ Enough of you

    SLOANE The moment we step into our bedroom, I watch as Ian removes his bloody shirt, followed by the pants and the boxers. He stands completely naked with a broad back, veiny arms, and a tight ass that makes me drool from how bad I want him.Sometimes, I wonder if he’s human. He's so gorgeous my chest hurts.My eyes drop before I can stop them and drink in the rare sight before me.Eight perfect abs. Cut lines. A body carved that I want pressed against me so bad. Without a word, he walks into the shower, leaving me to swallow down the ache building between my thighs.I stare at the door as I hear the water start running with my fists clenched at my sides and a pulse thundering in my ears.With my bottom lip between my teeth, I begin to undo my shirt one button at a time.The shorts then follow, leaving me naked as the cold air kisses my skin, but it’s not what makes me shiver. It's the anticipation and thrill of what I have in mind.I open the glass door and step into the steam-fille

    SLOANE I'm angry. I'm so angry I can't even go home. How dare he dismiss me like that? Charlotte hums softly as she rocks Nate in her arms, swaying like he’s real. Like he might cry if she stops. I'm so happy she seems to be doing better. I hope one day she will get to accept what happened and start afresh, but I plan on being her friend and staying by her side no matter how long it takes. I lie there on the carpet, my arms folded beneath my head, staring at the ceiling while my chest burns in fury.He hasn't even called me to ask why I'm not home!“I can't believe him,” I mutter. “I risked my life to help him, and instead of saying thank you, he acts like I’m the villain.”Charlotte glances down. “Believe what?”“Ian,” I respond, looking at her. “He told me I was reckless and selfish. That I made him angry. Can you believe it? I pull him out of a fire, and somehow, I’m the problem. Yet when he jumped in danger to save me, I was grateful.”She presses her cheek against Nate’s pla

    IAN“I wasn’t in the mood,” Luca says, polishing his gun with a stupid smirk on his lips, “but this? I can’t say no to.”I roll my eyes. “You’re always in the mood for violence, Luca.”He chuckles. “Touché. I knew you were the smart one, Quinn.”Anderson finally traced the ones who took my wife the day after the wedding. Some lowlife bastard named Madoxx. Apparently, he's a gang leader and has some following. One I intend to burn to the fucking ground.“So,” Luca says, casually cocking the gun, “how far do you want us to go? I’m fine with killing the fuckers for you.”I take a long drag from my cigarette, the smoke coiling around my face. I'm trying to keep my emotions that are about to blow up in check, but ever since Sloane started treating this like a game, my patience has thinned to nothing.“Arresting them is useless,” I mutter. “They’ll bribe their way out and come back stronger. I want them dead. All of them. And when they’re gone burn every building they’ve ever breathed in. Bu

  • DEAR STRANGER, MARRY ME AGAIN   Chapter 38 ~ How you thank me?

    IANA burning sensation that hurts like a motherfucker hits me in every one of my bones as my eyes flutter open. I groan as I sit up and drink in my surroundings. The memory from before I passed out like a little bitch hits me and I grind my teeth so hard my jaw aches. “Sir.” Anderson's voice reaches my ears and my temper shoots through the roof.I really want to slice him up for doing a shitty job lately but something else has my attention. “Where is my wife?” Anderson, who isn't flustered by my glare unlike anyone else who looks at me responds, “She's getting a checkup. The doctor-”I don't get to hear the rest of the words because I'm already out the door. As I walk through the empty VVIP passage, I notice I have a band aid where that son of a bitch shot me with a bullet laced in poison. I was supposed to meet Sloane for lunch and what was meant to be a sweet surprise turned to shit. Just the thought of causing my wife's death makes me want to set things on fire. Anderson, wh

    SLOANE I fumble with my purse, my fingers trembling as I dig out the keycard. It takes me three tries to swipe it properly because the damn thing keeps beeping red like it's mocking me.“Come on, come on…” I hiss.Finally, the light turns green, and I shove the door open.A wall of smoke hits me so hard, I stumble back, coughing violently as my eyes immediately begin to burn.Tears roll down my face faster than I can blink them away, and a thick, acrid stench fills my nostrils.“Ian?” I call.Nothing. Just the relentless blare of the alarm and the suffocating swirl of smoke.“Ian!”I cover my mouth with my hand and push through, blinking rapidly. Talk about a wardrobe malfunction. I should have worn a long sleeved shirt.The whole suite is dark and hazy. I make it past a knocked-over chair, a shattered glass on the floor, when I stumble and fall.What the-Lying on the floor by the bed, with a pale face and a dark stain blooming across the front of his shirt, is my husband.“No,” I
