Alaric’s POV:

‘I love you, Alaric.’

Meadow loved me. The moment she said those words to me, I realized two things at once:

One—that I loved her too.

And two—that while our fingers were linked together on top of my desk, I could feel it.

I felt the desk; the hard, smooth mahogany that it was made of. I’d been feeling it for a while but I didn’t realize it until she said those words to me.

I didn’t understand it, didn’t understand why and how…

Or maybe I did understand, but I just didn’t want to believe it. I didn’t want to believe some random bullshit a fucking therapist had told me just because she was getting paid to do so.

So much happened in so little time after she told me she loved me. It was like my brain couldn’t comprehend shit and I…

Fuck.

I hurt her.

I’d hurt her before, but now I did it in the worst fucking way. She’d bared her heart to me and I’d ripped it out and sent her away.

Yes, I was fucking aware of what I did.

After I’d pulled out of her and got dressed, she was

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0158

    Meadow’s POV: My throat felt dry all of a sudden and I couldn’t even swallow. Nova’s eyes widened, and I didn’t have to look at Camilla to know that she had a similar expression on her face. “My husband?” I choked out.“Y-yes, ma’am,” Tom stuttered. My pulse spiked and the room suddenly felt hot despite the air conditioning. I pressed the button to turn the intercom off, immediately running my fingers through my hair and stepping back.“Um, what are you doing?” Nova asked. “That is obviously Alaric—”“I know,” I breathed as something twisted in my chest. “I know it’s him, I just wasn’t… I didn’t expect him to show up here. I was supposed to see him at the party, I…” I was rambling, but I couldn’t stop.“Hey, hey,” Nova murmured, walking over to me. “Breathe, okay? I need you to breathe. It’s just Alaric.”I nodded, biting down on my bottom lip.Just Alaric—whom I hadn’t seen in a whole month. She sighed. “Well, do you want to see him?” she asked. “If you don’t, I can go down and ju

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0157

    Meadow’s POV: “Cami, can I ask you a question?” I was seated in a chair in front of the mirror while she worked on my hair. Tonight was Clarissa’s opening party, and yes—I was still going.Mainly because I hoped that HE would be there. Alaric.My heart still ached whenever I thought about him, and a simple fix would be to simply stop thinking about him… but I couldn’t. He was connected to everything. My thoughts literally revolved around him.Just like right now.Camilla met my eyes in the mirror briefly, giving me a small smile before she went back to curling my hair. “Sure, what’s up?”My lips parted and then closed back. I didn’t know how to word my question without seeming nosy or like I was prying into business that wasn’t mine.And then I swallowed, and decided to ask anyway. “Your mother told me once that you were upset about Alaric wanting to open up a salon for you and taking your business to the next level…” I trailed off when she met my eyes in the mirror again.However,

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0156

    Alaric’s POV: “My father died, and you continued to live your life of lies with your family. Your wife, your daughters. Fuck, I fell for your sister-in-law, not even knowing she was related to you.”Finding out that he was related to Clarissa—the only person I could feel—was the last fucking straw. I was twenty years old when I made the decision to frame Clint Russell. If I didn’t frame him, I was going to kill him.And so, I found the gun I shot my father with, wiped every single bit of my left-over prints off of it, and then I planted it in his home. That was a risky mission on its own. I was nearly caught, but I managed to escape. And I didn’t look back.Well, I did look back. Putting him in prison wasn’t enough, I was going to ruin his daughters, Juniper and Meadow. That was how hateful I was, how hateful I felt. But among the twins, only one of them caught my attention.Meadow.I had hoped she was a terrible human being. Fuck, I had really hoped that. But all I got from the men

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0155

    Alaric’s POV: My body went completely still. Clint’s words hung in the air like a dark and heavy cloud. His gaze remained on mine, and I didn’t look away either. Didn’t move, didn’t say a fucking word.I didn’t try to deny it. Hell, I didn’t even want to. It’s why I was here.To accept the fact that I killed my own father.“Nothing to say, huh?” he asked, gaze narrowing. “You won’t try to deny it?”With every second that passed, the expression on Clint’s face soured even more. He was in disbelief. Almost like he wasn’t sure I did it at first, and was only guessing when he tried to accuse me just now.And me not denying his accusations only confirmed it.Yes, I killed my father.I was thirteen years old and completely fed up. My father had done too much, consistently beating up my mother, and even though I tried so hard to defend her, it was never enough. He still locked her up in psychiatric facilities and made her look crazy, releasing her whenever he wanted and putting her back whe

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0154

    Alaric’s POV: The last thing I thought I would ever do—asides go to therapy—was to come here.This was a bad fucking idea. I knew it from the moment I got in the jet. Knew it from the very second I landed in Louisiana and throughout the entire drive to my destination.But there was nothing else I could do except this. I needed some kind of closure, and where else was I going to get it except here, in the Louisiana State Penitentiary?Fuck, yes. I was here to see Meadow’s father—the man who was in prison for killing my father.My fists curled on the surface in front of me and I stared down at it. I hadn’t seen this man in many years. And even before then, I never saw him enough. But I knew. I knew everything he did.I couldn’t tell Meadow that I loved her when I didn't have a clear conscience, and I would never have a clear conscience if I didn’t speak to Clint Russell.A loud buzz signified his entrance, and I slowly raised my gaze, watching as two prison guards hauled Clint Russell

  • HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance)   CHAPTER 0153

    Meadow’s POV: The back of my eyelids started to burn with unshed tears. Hell no, this wasn’t how this was supposed to go. I wasn’t supposed to cry in front of this woman.I looked away from her, blinking rapidly. “You’re right,” I whispered. “He does need me. But I can’t be the person he needs me to be, Ingrid. I can’t just be some kind of… thing that keeps him grounded to reality. Alaric needs me, but he doesn’t love me. And I’m sorry, but that will never be enough for me.” I rose to my feet. “I know you love your son, and I have no idea how much he told you about us and I…” I ran a frustrated hand through my hair. “Is that what you came here for? To ask me to go back to him?”Cami was right. Alaric was in a very bad state, and his mother was only here because she thought I could fix it for some reason. I didn’t believe that Ingrid would come here on her own accord just to apologize to me. She wanted something, and she had just told me what she wanted.She rose to her feet as well.
