Philip

This wasn’t possible! I must be stuck in a nightmare because I pulled down each and every crate like a madman, and each of them broke, shattering into sand! SAND?!

The cold air in the warehouse suddenly felt suffocating, like it was closing in on me. My hands trembled, coated with dust, as disbelief tightened around my chest like a vice.

This wasn’t happening. Not again!

I fell to the ground, right on the pile of fake Rhodium. The grainy texture scratched against my palms as I leaned forward, breath ragged. The taste of failure—bitter and heavy—choked me from the inside out.

I wasn’t sure how this had happened. I had planned out everything.

My chest ached. My head spun and the urge to kill was tightening my throat.

The silence was so loud it screamed.

Kaylee stood there, face frozen in shock, and stared at me without saying a word.

No one knew about this. It was only between me, my uncle, and…Kaylee. So how did we get played? Were the Davenports bringing in fake Rhodium? No, th

  • Dear Husband, My Turn To Love You    Chapter 114

    Olivia The flashing lights were still seared behind my eyelids.Even after the car door slammed shut, and the tinted windows cut off the noise of the screaming paparazzi, I could still feel the flashes—like little explosions inside my skull. Their voices echoed in my ears. Too many cameras, too many questions, too many people pretending to care. I couldn’t breathe.My stomach was churning the entire ride back. Every bump in the road made it worse. I clenched my fists in my lap, trying to focus on anything except the rising bile clawing up my throat.By the time we pulled into the mansion’s driveway, I was barely holding it together.I kicked off my heels before I even got past the front door and tore the damn mask off my face. My skin felt like it was suffocating beneath the makeup and sweat. The dress still clung to me like a second skin—heavy, tight, and suffocating.I didn’t say a word to anyone. I just ran.Straight up the stairs. Past the quiet halls. Into our bedroom.Sebastian

    Sebastian"Seb?... Sebastian!"Her voice cut through my thoughts like a sharp bell. I blinked and turned toward Lena, barely masking the weight that'd settled on my chest."What?" I said, shaking off the fog. "Sorry, I zoned out. What were you saying?"Lena lit up. "I said Olivia and I made up. We worked things out."I forced a smile, one that barely curled my lips. "Yeah... she told me."I tried hard to make it sound like good news. Like I wasn’t suffocating from the tension I couldn't shake off. Like every muscle in my body wasn’t knotted tight with dread.Lena's eyes narrowed just a touch. She was always too quick for her own good. "You okay? You've been acting strange lately. Is something going on? Please don’t lie to me, Sebastian."I gave her my best mask, smooth and practiced. "Nothing's wrong. It's just work stress. Nothing serious."She nodded slowly, lips tugging into a tight line. She didn’t believe a damn word of it, but she let it go. Just then, my mother stepped in. Len

    Olivia“Olivia, please. Just stop for a second and hear me out.”I didn’t even look at her. My legs carried me straight to my bag, snatching it up with a sharp yank before storming toward the front door.“Liv, please, look, I’m sorry, okay? Can we just talk?”I spun around, fire crawling up my throat.“Whatever conversation you think you need to have, keep it to yourself, Lena.”I turned back and reached for the handle, but it didn’t budge. My fingers jiggled the knob, harder this time.“What the—?” My breath hitched.Behind me, from the other end of the room, her voice rang out too calmly. “You won’t be able to leave.”I blinked and stared at the door again, gripping the handle tighter. “What the hell do you mean I won’t be able to leave?”“Well I, uh...I activated the emergency lockdown. Once it’s on, no one goes in or out for twelve hours.”I froze, slowly pivoting toward her. “You did what?”“It was the only way to get you to stay and listen.”“Oh, hell no.” I narrowed my eyes. “Y

    Philip Damn. The place looked like royalty had pissed gold on every surface. Gold-trimmed walls, imported paintings, soft jazz humming low in the background like a rich man's lullaby. Everything reeked of power and indulgence. I barely stepped through the door before he made his entrance. "Mr. Morris," Sebastian’s father called out from the bar, his voice sharp and unimpressed, like he’d been expecting me two days ago. Because he had. He walked toward me in slow, deliberate steps, a drink in hand and eyes that could slice through bone. "I asked you here two days ago. You decided to show up now?" I kept my stance casual, even though every instinct in me told me to watch my back. "I needed time to think," I said flatly, letting my gaze wander over the room like I wasn’t about to sign a deal with the devil. "Didn’t want to jump into bed with a Lancaster without checking for knives under the sheets." He chuckled low, settling into an armchair with the grace of someone who owned th

  • Dear Husband, My Turn To Love You    Chapter 110

    SebastianI had her wrapped in my arms, her head tucked beneath my chin “Thank you,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper.She tilted her head up, blinking sleepily with a smile that curled at the edges of her lips. “For what?”“For this. For making all the noise in my head go quiet.”Her smile deepened, and I felt something inside me loosen. Like I’d been holding my breath for days and she’d just let me exhale.Her eyes fluttered shut again, lashes brushing against her cheeks like feathers. I watched as her breathing evened out, slow and peaceful in my arms. But I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, the dream came clawing back.It was just a dream. That’s what I kept telling myself. But even in the calm of the room, with Olivia curled into me like I was her anchor, my thoughts were anything but settled.I turned slightly, studying her face. How the hell was I supposed to leave her? The Echelon Society expected me to let her go like she was disposable. Like she didn’t

    Olivia“It’s been a whole damn month, Nathan. And now you remember to call me?” I snapped, pacing restlessly as I pressed the phone harder to my ear.His voice was tight. Nervous. “I know, Ma’am. I’m sorry. But I need you to be careful. Phillip’s planning something, something unexpected. I’m not sure what it is yet, but I’ll let you know the second I find out.”“Nathan,” I said, lowering my voice, “You need to be careful too, okay? If they even suspect you’re tracking them—”“I’ll stay sharp,” he cut in. “Thanks for worrying.”And just like that, the line went dead. Four weeks of silence, and now he finally calls just to leave me dangling with more questions. No answers. No time. No damn clue what Phillip was up to. Just a cryptic warning, and poof he was gone again.I let out a shaky breath, tucking my phone into my back pocket as I made my way toward the dojo. Even from a distance, I could hear it, the raw, brutal sound of fists slamming into leather. One after another. Relentless.
