Killian's POV

The car pulled through the iron gates of my estate, and I watched Elara's face carefully. The moment she saw my mansion, her eyes went wide. Her mouth opened slightly, and I could see the shock and amazement she was trying to hide.

Perfect.

"Impressive, isn't it?" I said, leaning back in my seat.

She quickly closed her mouth and looked away. "It's... adequate."

I almost laughed. She was using my own words against me.

"You know," I said casually, "I would have suggested doing our honeymoon at a luxury resort somewhere tropical. But my mansion has everything you need, so we're already on our honeymoon."

She turned to glare at me. "In your dreams."

"Is that an invitation?"

"No!" Her face flushed red. "This is a business marriage, Killian. In marriages like this, we get different bedrooms and no touching. How dare you talk about intimacy!"

I moved closer to her face, close enough that I could smell her perfume again. "First of all," I said quietly, "no wife of mine will slee

    Elara's POVI slammed my bedroom door behind me so hard the walls shook. My heart was still racing from everything that had happened, and I could feel the frustration bubbling up inside my chest like a volcano ready to explode.I threw my bag onto the bed with more force than necessary, watching it bounce and fall to the floor. My hands were still trembling from the adrenaline."Why should I feel frustrated?" I said out loud to my empty room, my voice cracking with emotion. "That bastard Adrian not only deceived me, now he's pushed me to a corner and Killian is pressing my buttons the way he likes. This is so annoying!"I started pacing back and forth across my room, my heels clicking against the hardwood floor. Every step felt heavy with anger and confusion. My chest felt tight, like I couldn't get enough air into my lungs.The way Killian had held me after the car incident kept flashing through my mind. The warmth of his body against mine, the protective way his arms had wrapped aro

    Killian's POVMy heart was still hammering against my ribs as I sat there, gripping the steering wheel so tight my knuckles had gone white. The metallic taste of adrenaline filled my mouth. That was way too close. Way too fucking close.I could hear Elara's ragged breathing beside me, and when I turned to look at her, her face had drained of all color. Her hands were shaking in her lap, and I could see the shock written all over her features.But this wasn't an accident. Every instinct I had was screaming that someone had set this up. The way the car had lurched, the way we'd lost control so suddenly - it was too convenient, too targeted.I reached for my phone and hit speed dial. "Get here now," I barked into it the second Marcus picked up. "Someone just tried to fucking kill us.""Boss, what…""Now, Marcus. Bring backup." I ended the call and immediately stepped out of the car, my eyes scanning the area around us. Every shadow, every movement caught my attention. My hand instinctive

    Elara's POVMy mouth dropped open as I stared at him in complete disbelief. The audacity of this man never ceased to amaze me."Are you for real?" I asked, my voice rising with incredulity. My hands were shaking with a mixture of anger and shock.Killian just stared at me with that infuriating calm expression, like he hadn't just made the most outrageous demand in the middle of my crisis. His lips curved into a slight smirk that made my blood boil."You know, your ability to switch up so fast needs to be studied," he said casually, like we were discussing the weather.My chest heaved as fury coursed through my veins. "I'm in such a dilemma and you deem it to be a joke?" My voice cracked with emotion. "I'm frustrated! That guy will turn up with my private pictures and paste them everywhere and hurt my loved ones."Hot tears of anger burned behind my eyes as I glared at him. "I am this frustrated and you are here treating it as a joke!"Killian's expression shifted, becoming more seriou

    Killian's POVThe word hung in the air between us like a challenge. I watched as Elara's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing a deep pink that made something primal stir in my chest. Her lips parted slightly, and I could see the rapid rise and fall of her breathing.For a moment, I thought she might slap me. Or maybe run away like she always did when things got too intense between us. But she just stared at me, her eyes searching my face like she was trying to figure out if I was serious.I leaned back slightly, letting my words sink in. Her hands were trembling in her lap, and I could see the pulse hammering at her throat. She opened her mouth, then closed it again, like she couldn't find the right words."Well," I said, my voice steady and matter-of-fact, "we've been going back and forth, and I figured it really isn't necessary."Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and she tilted her head slightly. I could practically see the wheels turning in her mind."It might be a contracted marria

    Elara's POVI couldn't hold the tears in anymore. They came pouring out like a dam had burst inside me, and I pressed my hands to my face, trying to muffle the sobs that were tearing through my chest.I didn't mean to cry. I'd been holding everything together for so long, building walls around my heart to protect myself. But when someone stares at you with those caring eyes, when someone offers you a listening ear, especially someone you weren't expecting to, it felt so comforting that all my defenses crumbled.My shoulders shook as the tears kept coming, hot and unstoppable. I felt pathetic, sitting there falling apart in front of Killian, but I couldn't stop it anymore.The bed dipped beside me, and I felt his warmth as he moved closer. My heart skipped when his hands gently took mine, his fingers warm and steady against my trembling ones.I looked up through my tears and found him staring at me with an expression I'd never seen before. His dark eyes were soft, concerned, and comple

  • FROM SCUMBAG EX TO SCUMBAG HUSBAND   Ch-41

    Killian's POVI watched Elara rush out of the room like her life depended on it, and my gut clenched with worry. Something was wrong. Very wrong.The way she'd gone pale while looking at her phone, the tremor in her voice when she lied about some celebrity couple - I wasn't buying any of it. Elara might be good at hiding things, but I'd learned to read the subtle signs. The way her shoulders tensed. How her breathing changed. The slight shake in her hands before she clenched them into fists.I stared at the door she'd disappeared through, my jaw tightening. What was she hiding this time?My fingers found my phone, and I dialed Marcus without thinking twice."Sir?" His voice was crisp and alert."Has anyone been lurking around my wife recently?" I asked, my voice low and serious. "Any suspicious activity? Strange cars? People following her?""No, sir. My men are on high alert. We've had eyes on her since you gave the order. Nothing out of the ordinary, except for the hospital visit aft
