[Elena]Nine years later....."Why do I feel like you locked yourself in that washroom, just to shy away from..." Asher growled, his eyes dropping pointedly toward his cock.I licked my lower lip slowly, my gaze locked on him without flinching."I didn't, I needed to take a bath and why would I shy away from this huge man down there?" I swallowed, as I wrapped my hand around his clothed cock.A low, rough growl tore out of him as his head fell back slightly, his grip tightening instantly as he pulled me flat against his chest like he couldnāt stand the distance for even a second.It's been fifteen years.Fifteen whole years married to this man standing right in front of me.And still⦠he looks at me the same way he did that day at the altar.And that huge man down there⦠hasnāt gotten tired. Not once. Not for a single second. If anything, it feels like the years only made him worse⦠more intense⦠more hungry for me.A soft breath slipped out of me.I would never have done this life an
[Elena]Six years later....."How does this look?" I turned in front of the mirror for what had to be the umpteenth time, already knowing Aurora was tired of me but still unable to stop myself.My fingers smoothed over the fabric again, my eyes dragging slowly over my reflection.The gown hugged me just right.A deep red short dress, soft against my skin, clinging to my curves like it was made with me in mind. The fabric had this subtle glow to it, catching the light every time I moved, not too loud but just enough to make a statement. It dipped perfectly at the neckline, teasing without revealing too much, while the waist cinched in tight before falling smoothly over my hips, stopping mid-thigh and leaving my legs bare in a way that made me feel⦠seen."Miss Elena, you look..." I turned sharply and Aurora clamped her mouth shut immediately."Aurora... please, you no longer work for me, you're my sister-in-law for crying out loud."She nodded even though I knew it would slip again.H
[Asher]My hand tightened around my phone as I paced my office like a madman, each step heavier than the last, my thoughts running wild, refusing to settle.She wasnāt sounding good.Something was definitely wrong.Did something happen?Did I do something wrong?Was she coming over to...Fuckā¦what the hell am I even thinking?"Asher, fucking think. What the hell did you do without even knowing?" I growled under my breath, slamming my palm hard against my desk, frustration clawing at my chest as I raked through every single memory, every word, every moment⦠but nothing came up.Nothing.I made sure we had the best honeymoon, went to every country she wanted, and gave her everything she asked for without hesitation. I was there⦠fully there.I listened to her.I stayed awake when she forced me to.I did everything right⦠Didnāt I?Or maybe I didnāt.Maybe I fucked up and I donāt even know it.Fuck.I couldnāt even move an inch. That was the worst part of it all. Her voice had been firm
[Elena]Three months later...My hand curled tightly around the other as I paced the hospital room like I couldn't sit for a second, my steps uneven, restless, like standing still would somehow make everything worse.My eyes stayed glued to my phone screen⦠to Asher's message.Heād texted me asking how I was feeling, since I told him earlier Iād been a bit down before he left for work.I tried to brush it off, tried to convince myself I was fine⦠that I was just overthinking it like I always do, but the moment I dropped my favorite cereal this morning and rushed to the bathroom to vomit, I knew.Something wasnāt right.I felt it⦠deep in my gut.Not just fear⦠something else.Something I couldnāt quite name.I swallowed hard, my gaze flickering to my wristwatch.Itās been over an hour since they took my blood sample.An hour of pacing.An hour of thinking.An hour of my heart refusing to stay calm.I told the doctor everything⦠the dizziness, the nausea that wouldnāt let up, the way i
[Elena]My brows knitted even more, my eyes widening as I stared back, as if I could still see them standing there, before slowly turning my gaze to Asher. "You mean my brother and...""Aurora has been seeing him for weeks now...and yes, I met her leaving his office a few days back when I went to visit him.""What?" I gasped, my lips parting in disbelief. "That girl...and she hid it from me?""What would you have her tell you?""At least...I mean... she could have..." My words trailed off, frustration mixing with surprise."She might have wanted to tell you at the right time." Asher leaned closer, placing a soft kiss on my lips like he was trying to calm whatever was rising inside me.My lips still curved into a small smile despite myself as I glanced back again, as if I could still catch them if I looked hard enough.I mean, Iāve noticed the way Aurora acts around him... the little glances, the way her voice shifts, the way she lingers but I didnāt think they were already this deep i
[Asher]Bang.Everything on my body stilled as I stared at the scene right in front of me.Not because I didnāt hear the shot.Not because I didnāt understand what it meant.But for a second, my brain refused to accept it.The sound was still ringing in my ears when my body reacted before my though
[Clara Draven]My blood boiled, yet every part of my body felt cold as I stared at my phone over and over again. Three days. Three fucking days, and nothing had changed.No calls. No information. I have no freaking idea where those bastards had taken my daughter to.I'd been calling her as usual, a
[Elena]"Oh my God, Elena... I had no idea... You mean... goodness." Cassie gasped over the phone as I explained every single detail to her.I knew she must have felt I was intentionally avoiding her, especially since I hadnāt been answering her calls and her wedding was just three days away."It's
[Vienna]My whole body ached.Not the dull kind of ache that fades if you breathe through it, but the deep, burning kind that crawls into bones and settles there.My heart clenched violently as I tried to take a deep breath, but it felt impossible, like something heavy was sitting on my chest, crus
