From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Blood We Choose
Chapter 69Valencia’s POVThe medical monitors in Mia’s room provided a rhythmic, artificial heartbeat that was the only thing keeping me grounded. The scent of antiseptic and expensive linen fought for dominance, a sterile reminder of the violence that had brought us back to this white-walled purgatory. Akeem sat at the foot of the bed, his shadow stretched long and distorted across the marble floor by the dim nightlight. The man who had nearly choked the life out of me hours ago was gone, replaced by this hollowed-out shell of grief. He still held my hand, his grip possessive yet trembling, as if I were the only thing keeping him from drifting into the Mediterranean."We grew up in a house built on high-tensile steel and lies," Akeem began, his voice barely a whisper. He didn't look at me; he looked at the bandaged arm of my daughter. "The photo you found... that was the last summer of the lie. Silas was twelve. I was eight. He was my sun, Valencia. He was the one who taught me h

Chapter 67Valencia’s POVThe signal jammer in my pocket felt like a piece of radioactive lead, burning against my thigh as I crossed the threshold into the villa. The air-conditioning hit me like a physical wall, chilled and sterile, stripping away the scent of the Mediterranean and replacing it with... nothing. Just the scent of expensive filtration."Akeem?" I called out, my voice bouncing off the high, white ceilings. Silence.I headed for the study, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. I expected to find him there, seated behind that bleached oak desk, playing the part of the diligent protector. But when I pushed open the glass doors, the room was empty. His laptop was closed, his glass of water half-empty, the lemon slice at the bottom looking shriveled and exhausted.I turned on my heel and headed for the master suite. My pulse was a drumbeat in my ears, a steady thump-thump of rising adrenaline. I needed to see him. I needed to look into those amber eyes and
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Guardian’s Warning
Chapter 66Valencia’s POVThe morning sun in Ibiza didn’t rise; it interrogated. It sliced through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the master suite, reflecting off the polished white marble until the entire room felt like a bleached bone. My head throbbed, a rhythmic pounding behind my eyes that matched the dull ache in my wrists and ankles. I lay still for a long time, staring at the white silk canopy above me. My body felt heavy, used, and strangely hollow. Beside me, the bed was empty, the sheets cold where Akeem had laid. The silence of the villa was absolute, broken only by the distant, mocking whisper of the Mediterranean. Heaven on Earth.I sat up slowly, the silk robe sliding over my skin like a cold caress. The red marks on my wrists were stark against my pale skin, reminders of the maintenance Akeem had performed on my soul last night. I forced myself to stand, my legs trembling slightly. I needed to see Mia. I needed to see something that wasn't white, bright, or perfect.I
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance Heaven Is A White Wall
Chapter 65The descent into Ibiza was a blur of turquoise water and jagged limestone cliffs that looked like teeth rising from the Mediterranean. As the private jet’s wheels kissed the runway, the cabin shook, jarring Mia awake. She clung to my hand, her eyes darting toward the window, looking for the whale."We’re here, Little Star," I whispered, though my own heart felt like a lead weight in my chest. "Look at the sun. It’s real."Akeem was already standing, his linen shirt buttoned up but loose, the poetic lover-boy persona back in full force. He reached down, his fingers brushing my cheek as he helped me up. The touch, which had felt like a lifeline only hours ago, now felt like the brush of a spider’s silk. "Welcome to the beginning of forever, Valencia," he murmured.We were whisked away in a matte-black SUV, winding up narrow, sun-drenched roads until we reached a gate of wrought iron that looked like intertwined vines. Beyond it lay the villa. It was, by every objective meas
From Prison To Power: The Ex-Wife's Vengeance The Whale’s Belly
Chapter 64Valencia’s POVThe question hung in the pressurized air, thick and heavy, like the scent of ozone before a storm. Marry me. Akeem’s eyes were locked onto mine, burning with a frantic, possessive light that felt like both a shield and a cage. I could feel the heat of his skin through the cashmere blanket, the steady thrum of his heart against my chest. This was it, the moment the script was supposed to end and the rest of my life was supposed to begin. A life of lemons, salt air, and safety. A life far away from the Shadow.My lips parted, the word Yes trembling on the edge of my tongue, ready to be delivered like a peace offering.Then, the world shattered.A blood-curdling, high-pitched scream ripped through the silence of the cabin. It wasn't the sound of a startled child; it was the sound of pure, unadulterated terror, the kind of scream that only comes when the nightmares of the mind manifest in the dark."Mia!" The name left my throat in a jagged rasp. The romantic h

Chapter 20Valencia’s POVThe night was a shroud of charcoal and salt. I lay prone on the rusted corrugated roof of a warehouse overlooking Pier 17, the cold metal biting through the fabric of my tactical suit. The Neurolink hummed at the edge of my consciousness, sharpening the world into high-co

Chapter 17Valencia’s POVThe transition from the void back to reality was not a gentle drift; it was a violent, airless ascent. My lungs burned as if I had been submerged in the icy depths of the Blackwood bay, and my heart hammered against my ribs like a frantic prisoner.Thud-thud. Thud-thud.Th
