âShe is not your mother.ââI have planned something, Don't spoil it.ââWhy do always you book my ticket for DavidoââYou belong to the Royal family,ââPetrov Empireâ âThank you all for coming. To the black to bid your price for today's auction,â The announcement broke thoughts of Liam. He was in the club in his black devil attire, only his blue ocean eyes were visible on his face. âWe have only two options today for bid and the first option here is for you all,â the host announced. This illegal club was owned by Mr. Black.The big LED TV showed the details of the girls. The first picture is of her face and her body after her name and details. The look wise. She was beautiful and had brown hair and brown eyes. The features of her showing she must be in her teenage.Name: Liana CruzCountry: SingaporeAge: 19 yearsStatus: Virgin.âThis girl just imported today, and we are expecting a good bid on her,â the host said and her picture-like slide show featured on the screen and the bid s
Amber POVâWhere are we going,â I asked, placing my hand in his palm. He was helping me to come inside the yacht.âSomewhere,â He pecked my lips and said," Where you can wear all the bikinis you have brought with youâ âReallyâ My eyes widen with a big smile.âYes,â He smiled.We settled in the yacht and there was already placed breakfast at the dinette. We seated at the dinette looking beautiful view. It was early morning, a cold breeze caressing our bodies. The thin cloth I had worn was not helping much.âYou will catch a cold baby,â He said, covering me with his jacket.âI thought we were going to the beach,â I said, taking bowl of pasta from the table and he nodded. He had long hair waving in hair with air, and he was looking like the most handsome man in the world. âWhat are looking at baby,â He asked, catching me staring at him.âNothing" My cheek heated with embarrassment, and he chuckled, looking at me.âHmmm, This is tasty,â I said, eating mushroom source pasta.âYeah, your f
âBaby, close your eyes,â Liam replied, caressing Amber's hair. She was covered in sweat. âNo âŚâ she whimpered, hugging him.âRelax, you know you are safe,â Liam argued, but his tone was gentle.âWhenever I close my eyes⌠Everything is roaming in the back of my mind, Their voice yelling everything,â she responded, hiding her face in his chest.âHave water firstâ Liam broke the hug and made her drink water. âNow close your eyes,â He said, taking her on his lap, and caressing her smooth back, soon she had fallen asleep and Liam laid her on the bed.He kissed her forehead and sighed. She woke up three times in a row. Whatever she faces today was a trauma for her, and it was to become one of her nightmares. Liam's eyes stuck on the empty glass placed on the nightstands. He spiked her water so she could relax. The paltry amount of sleeping pills will help her shut her mind and take a rest. He was already stressed after what happened in the club that bid part and her information on the di
Amber POVâEuphoricâ I was feeling. My life could not be more heavenly than this. Every day I feel wanted, desired, and respected. The last fifteen days were the best day of my life. He was always around me, making love to me, listening to my all plans for our future, and the most favorite part was deciding our baby's name.I was not pregnant, but we were discussing what could be our baby names for a girl. He already selectedâ Veronika Petrovâ and for our baby boy I have chosenâ Leon Petrovâ âWhat are you staring atâ I was startled, he again caught me staring at me.âLooking at my handsome husband,â I replied, kissing his cheek.âThis can't be my morning kiss,â He answered, caging me in his arms while I was giggling.âYou know, I just love whenever you laugh,â He spoke, kissing my jaws and his hand roaming on my bare abdomen. âUmmmâŚâ I moaned in his mouth.âI have planned a surprise for you,â He whispered on my rims, trailing his wet kisses to my chin, neck, cleavage, and finally on
âLiam, please don'tâ Amber argued, scooting the other side of bed. âWhy,â Liam asked catching her ankle and pulling her to the edge of the bed. The past week was like something they never thought of in their life. The tension is always thick between them. Amber turned silent, and today she decided to run away from this scary place.âLiamâŚâ She struggled to give a reason, but Liam sealed her mouth with his fierce kiss. She avoided talking to him the last week. The incident broke something inside her. She quit talking, eating, and even getting up alone in bed scared her. The palace was giving her a bad vibe. She couldn't feel safe anymore here even in Liam's presence. She even attempted to run away from this place, but Liam caught her again and his disappointment turned into anger. âI do not control today,â Liam said, tearing the shirt she had worn. Her eyes widened the button flew in the air before landing on the floor. She was naked, only covered in a shirt that didn't have any butto
David POVâWhere are you going,â I asked my little sub who was squirming to go out of my embrace.âUhhhh, I am thirstyâ She whispered, nuzzling her nose in my chest.âHmm,â I sat on the bed taking a water glass from the nightstand.âN⌠No, I want warm waterâ I arched my brow, looking at her with a questioning gaze. âI am feeling coldâ She pouts, leaving the bed âWhere do you think going out without a braâ My voice was stern, and she was startled but her bitchy mode was on the way her body tens because of my restrictions.âWho do you think? Dare to see me?â She asked, curling her hand around her arms and showing her perfect cleavage.âNo oneâ I snapped, but added with furious eyesâ I fucking don't want you to go out without wearing inner clothââSometimes I don't know what to do with youâ She muttered under her breath before removing her silk gown from her soft skin and taking her bra from the couch. Our cloth already shattered on the floor.âDo you want waterâ I questioned.âYesâŚâ S
Past The sun ray coming through the clerestory window showered on the couple who were falling asleep in each other arms. The icy wind with the warm sun glimmer broke Liam's sleep, and he opened his eyes to find Amber sleeping, hugging him. Something somehow annoyed him last midnight he again fucked her in fury. Nowadays, whenever he gets frustrated and angry, he fucks her until his mind gets cleared. He didn't mean to hurt her, but something she said she did always triggered him, and he ended up hurting her like he did last midnight.He already stopped consuming medicines, but his temper issued getting worse.âWake up,â He said, caressing Amber's cheek.âHmmmmâ she hummed, leaving him turning to the other surface of the bed.âWhere do you think you are goingâ Liam demanded, tugging her to his chest before she turned to another side.âPlease, let me sleep, my body is paining,â Amber whispered in closed eyes.âTell me one thing, whenever I fuck you cry, but you always get fell asleep af
Ivan POVâHow did it happen,â I asked Nick with easy composure. The girl seated opposite me looked at me with concern. The shipment of a new European project was hacked. It didn't reach the place where it should be, and someone delivered them somewhere. âBoss, we are investigating it. It must be insider,â Nick replied.âOnly then, It could be possible,â I said before cutting the call.âWhat happenedâ Her baby blue eyes met with mine.âNothing, just a slight work,â I smiled despite that, she was looking at me with doubtful eyes.âI am not lying,â I chuckled. The way she was glaring at me was like I was a little boy eating and cooking without her permission.âHmmmm, but you always lieâ She pouted.âWhy do you think I consistently lie to you?â I asked, placing my palms on the table.âYou don't share your problems with me. Always say everything is good, nothing to worry about, I can handle it,â She was complaining and looking so cute.âHmmmm, I have only one concern in my life,â I said,
The hospital room felt suffocating. The walls were so white they almost hurt to look at, and the sterile smell of antiseptic hung heavy in the air. The only sound was the soft, rhythmic beep of the heart monitor. A constant reminder that Amber was still hanging on by a thread, but no one knew for how long.Amber lay motionless on the bed. Her face was pale, her features almost lifeless beneath the harsh lights. Her body was still, except for the slow rise and fall of her chest. It was the only sign that she was still with them. The curve of her belly, round with the baby, was the only thing that seemed to keep her grounded to this world.Liam stood by the glass door, his hand pressed against it, his fingers tracing the outline of her shape. His face was a mask of anguish, eyes hollow with disbelief. How had this happened? How had a bullet meant for him found Amber instead? How was he supposed to stand here, helpless, while the woman he loved, their unborn childâhis childâfought for li
Ivan POVThe soft laughter from the other room was the sound of a world I was trying to protect. Selenaâs easy-going presence had brought a warmth to the house that I hadnât realized was missing, but it wasnât just the laughter. It was Amber. Watching her laugh like she hadnât a care in the world, like she hadnât spent months trapped in a fog of her own mind, brought an odd sense of peace â but also an unsettling tension that I could never quite shake.I leaned against the doorway, watching Amber and Selena share some ridiculous story. They were completely at ease with each other. That was something I hadnât expected. I thought Amber would always be a little distant, like a piece of her was still lost in the maze of her memories. But now, after a month of her being here, I could see the real Amber emerging again, the one I had married â the one who smiled so effortlessly, who laughed with a sparkle in her eyes, who didnât second-guess herself every time she opened her mouth.But there
âWe wonât let anything happen to our baby sister,â Liam said firmly. His calm voice was filled with urgency, leaving Salina and David stunned and speechless.âLiamâŚâ David started, his voice shaky with uncertainty. The air was thick with unasked questions and concern.âBaby sister?â Salina asked, looking between David and Liam, confused. Liam took off his mask and said, âWeâre twins, Salina.ââTwins?â Salinaâs eyes widened in shock as she stared at Liam, trying to process the revelation. She touched Liamâs hair gently, as if trying to confirm he was real.âYouâŚâ she whispered, staring at him in disbelief. Liam chuckled softly, noticing how much Salina looked like his biological mother. It suddenly made sense why she seemed so familiar.âWe are twins, Salina,â Liam repeated, guiding her to a chair and ruffling her hair with a mix of joy and disbelief at finding his sister.âHow⌠How did you know? Whatâs going on, David?â Salina asked, her hands nervously smoothing her hair as she looke
âLet's meet her,â Ivan said, taking my hand in his warm grasp and giving it a gentle squeeze. I smiled, though I was nervous about meeting someone from his family for the first time since regaining my consciousness. I wasnât sure if weâd met before when I had my memory.A girl with dirty blond hair was eating a forkful of pasta, her eyes closing in satisfaction. A helper stood behind her, and the table was filled with food. Sensing our presence, she opened her eyes, her cheeks flushing red. âSorry, I started before you both joined, but I was starving,â she said, sounding like a child.Ivan chuckled and added, âIâm happy youâre enjoying the food. Thatâs a rare side of you.ââIâm not that choosy,â she pouted, her eyes meeting mine.âAmber,â she said with a smile, revealing a small dimple on her right cheek, a small button nose, and glowing fair skin. Her eyes were brown, unlike the blue eyes often seen in Russians. I felt someone nudge my elbow and looked up to see Ivanâs concerned eyes
Past....Liam sat outside the ICU in the dead of night, his eyes tightly shut. Ten agonizing hours had passed since the doctors disappeared behind those doors, and the constant hustle of nurses carrying blood bags and medical gear only heightened his sense of helplessness. Normally unfazed by blood, Liam's demeanor tonight betrayed a deep-seated fearâthe prospect of losing his only family, Amber and their unborn child.Nick, observing his idol, sensed the impending storm beneath Liam's usually calm exterior. He had already deduced who was responsible for the attack.Liam's eyes snapped open as the ICU door creaked open, and Dr. Williston emerged, his sigh of relief audible as he removed his cap. âDavid, she's stable,â the doctor announced, trying to reassure Liam.âWhat about the baby?â Liam's voice trembled with anxiety, his heart pounding at the thought of losing another loved one.âThe baby is fine,â Dr. Williston confirmed, though the worry etched on his face betrayed the severity
Present âBaby, why are there so many marks?â He questioned me while tracing my arms that was covered with red marks. I took a deep breath before closing my eyes. I could feel his gaze fixed on me. I did not want to meet his inquisitive gaze. What would I tell him, About the betrayal I had committed in the past, which I had completely forgotten? âBabyâŚ" His voice was gentle as a feather, and he cupped my face, but I lacked the courage to look into his eyes. My eyes were closed, and tears flowed. I felt him kiss my tears before pressing his lips against mine. I allowed him to do whatever he wanted. He was savoring the moment and taking his time kissing me; we both needed one another. I could not stop myself from kissing him back and stroking his silk hair. He picked me up, and I wrapped my leg around his torso as we sucked on each other's mouths. I could feel him adjusting me to the cabinet as his hand began massaging my boobs. I inhaled deeply as I moaned into his mouth, his index f
Past..âAmberâŚâ Liam gasped, catching her collapsing body in his arms. His fingers brushed against something wet on her backâblood.âShitâŚâ he cursed, rolling them both toward the wall. The gunshot echoed in his mind. Someone had fired at them, and Amber was hit.âAhhhâŚâ Amber's cry pierced through the chaos, her agony raw and unfiltered.âDon't close your eyes,â Liam urged, his voice trembling with desperation. He helped her to sit on the floor, his eyes darting to the open window, knowing another shot could come at any moment. He needed his phone and laptop to call Nick, to get them to the hospital.âJust stay here,â he whispered, his heart pounding as he began to crawl toward the table. As he reached for his phone, another gunshot rang out, forcing him to dodge. The bullet whizzed past, embedding itself in the wall.âFucker, how did anyone find our location?â he spat, fear and anger coursing through him.âLiamâŚâ Amber's breathing was rapid and shallow. Blood continued to pour from
âWhat exactly are you doing here?â I inquired, my expression serious as I stared at Salina's broad smile.âStop with the death glares,â she said, tucking her hair behind her ears and striding into my study, her heels clicking against the floor.âWho told you I was here?â I asked, closing the file I had been reading.âI didn't come here to see you,â Salina replied, taking a seat and placing her handbag on the table.âThen who?â I probed, fixing my gaze on her. During her time in Russia, she often spent time with us, occasionally meeting with David and me. She was the only person in the world who knew about our existence.âAmberâŚâ she smirked. âMy sister-in-law.ââDon't get involved,â I cautioned. It wasn't that she posed a threat, but Salina's bubbly personality could be overwhelming.âDon't be possessive,â Salina shot back, her tone sharp. âI was the one who donated plasma when she was pregnant with your child and lying in the hospital bed.ââSorry,â I murmured softly. I knew I could
PastâŚâHave you seen my book?â Amber inquired of Liam while searching for her novel in bed.âNightstand, right side drawer,â Liam responded, working on his laptop.âWhen did I keep here?â she muttered as she opened the drawer that held her book and chocolates.âOh, god, half of the book is yet to be read,â she said, sitting on the bed and biting into her chocolate.Liam cast a questioning look at her, and she noticed his gaze. Amber inquired, âWhat?â Amber inquired, prompting Liam to pause his typing.âYou were on the final chapter last night, and I told you to sleep and read tomorrow,â he replied.âIt must be another book, Liam.â âI have good memory power, but this book is still incomplete,â she said, ignoring Liam and reading her novel.âDo not you remember the female lead? What was her name? Amber asked Liam, âHazel,â as he struggled to remember her name. âYes,â Liam answered, adding, âShe was fleeing the golden cage.ââHow come Ethan will not let her?â Amber argued.âWhat is the
