LOGIN“Take off your dress, Meadow.” “Why?” “Because your ex is watching,” he said, leaning back into his seat. “And I want him to see what he lost.” ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger’s offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition—he can’t feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience… revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn’t share what’s his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
View MoreAlaric’s POV: I’d thought meeting Meadow for the first time was the most beautiful moment I’d experienced.I was wrong.Watching her walk down the aisle to me was a moment that would play on a loop in my memory, long after my heart stopped beating.It would replay in my head every single time I needed to remember what it felt like to be chosen, to be loved unconditionally.I was so in love with her, and I was going to protect her and treat her the way she deserved for the rest of our lives.Meadow wanted Mel to walk her down the aisle, and she did. Nova and Cami were her bridesmaids, and Nolan was my best man.My mother was part of the congregation, and whenever our eyes met, she would smile at me like she was proud of me.I knew she was. Most of all, I knew she was excited to invite a few relatives from Germany—something that she pressed me about after she found out that I’d gotten married without letting her know.As for her and Meadow’s relationship… it was still on the rocks.

Meadow’s POV:(Two Months Later) “Tell me, doe…” His voice was deep and raw, laced with arousal. “How badly do you want my tongue?”A shiver racked through my entire body, not just because of how turned on I was, but also because there was a glass of ice cubes on my abdomen. Alaric hovered over me, running his hand along the side of my body while the other was by my head. “I… mhmmm,” I trailed off with a moan of satisfaction as he closed his mouth over my hard nipple, sucking gently. I could feel his erection against my stomach, hard, heavy and ready. The only clothing between us were my bikini bottoms and his shorts.“You what, baby? Can’t speak?” he murmured, trailing his lips higher and higher until they were just above mine.“You make it a little hard to focus, you know that.”He let out a soft chuckle. “Just a little?” he teased. “I’m not doing a great job then. How about we fix that?”I bit down on my bottom lip, looking at him through hooded eyes. “There’s nothing to fix. Thi
hi everyone, thank you so much for sticking with me, even despite my absence. I assure you, that wasn't intentional. I've been dealing with some personal stuff. To be honest, I'm not proud of this either, especially since I planned on bringing this book to a close before the end of 2025. There are so few chapters left to write, but sometimes, life just hits hard, you know? But anyway, the last few chapters will be uploaded before the end of the week. I'm working overtime to make sure of that. god, I don't even know if y'all still remember the storyline, and I'm sure a lot of people got tired of waiting and just gave up. That is no one else's fault but mine, and I apologize again.happy new year, by the way❤️❤️❤️
Alaric’s POV: “Where is she?” Nova panted, her eyes wide, hair frayed as she ran up to me. “Is she okay?” I nodded to my car, where Meadow sat hunched in the passenger seat. She was still shaken, probably not even aware of what was going on anymore.“Meadow,” she gasped, rushing over to her. But not before she gave Nolan a look that had his shoulders tensing up.She was upset with him. Not that it was any of my concern.“How’s she feeling?” Nolan asked me. “Did she get hurt?”“Not so much physically,” I answered simply. Whenever I thought about the handprints I saw around her neck and the bruises on her hands and feet, it made me want to bring Tyler back to life and kill him again, and it pissed me off more that I wasn’t the one who’d taken his life.However, the real damage to Meadow was not physical.“Everything alright with you two?” I asked in a bid to change the subject.Nolan rolled his lips. “Yeah,” he murmured. “Just the move, you know?”I knew.Nolan was leaving in a few mo
Meadow’s POV: “MEADOW!” I could hear the raw panic in his voice. “MEADOW, ANSWER ME—”My heart slammed back hard into my chest. The phone was on the floor, right beside Tyler’s body. “Fuck! Fuck, say something. Talk to me, baby. Please—”I realized then that he must’ve thought I was the one who ha
Meadow’s POV: My jaw clenched and I scowled at him deeply.“Don’t look so bum,” he drawled, waving the phone in his hand at me. “Your rescue team is coming. Though it is going to take some time.”“Let me go, you fucking asshole,” I seethed. “Alaric is going to kill you!”My gaze narrowed, and I fo
Meadow’s POV: Once when we were younger, Juniper wanted to beat me up about something—I couldn’t remember what. But I stood up to her. The moment I did, Juniper went crying to our mother and went on to concoct a story of something that had never happened. I didn’t even try to defend myself or say
Meadow’s POV: I hated this. Hated feeling unsure about something. And of course, I could’ve told Alaric about this, but he was going to assure me.And I trusted him, but I didn’t want to be assured.Not by him, anyway.My gaze shifted to my phone on the table, and I thought of a million reasons wh
