What lies underneath that sheet is so terrible that my mind protects me from seeing it at first, not letting me make sense of what is right in front of me. But the longer I look, the more the image comes together and I feel the blood drain from my face as I forget how to breathe.

The shape and form of the body is so similar it makes my heart ache.

"No," I shake my head as I take a step back at the horror in front of me.

But the longer I look, the more I can see my beloved. The hair, with its dark, loose waves. His broad chest and shoulders. covered with the tattoos that marked his uniquely difficult life. There is nothing here to tell me it is anyone other than Hunter, and so many clues to say that it is that my legs give way. My fingers slip and I almost fall.

Mr. Carter steps forward and takes my arms, supporting me. Ms Smith's face drops, her eyes sad as she reaches forward as well.

"Let's get you some air," Ms. Smith reaches forward, and pulls me along with her, Reggie

Any body have any ideas? Next chapter will be posted in about an hour. :) I'm currently working to post three chapters a day through the end of the month! I'll be out of the country from August 1-14th on a business trip as a representative teacher from my community in California, visiting Chiayi and Changhua in Taiwan. As soon as I return, I will be back to my usual publishing schedule. Until then, I'll try to get you as many new chapters as I can to keep you entertained. If you are enjoying the story, consider leaving a gem or two in appreciation. Thank you for your support :)

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 171

    [Evelyn]How did I ever love and admire this man? The bastard has no shame. When he invited me to this gala, I assumed it was to be his date. Debrassy prefers to have a beautiful woman on his arm at all times. So when I arrived, I was expecting to find a gown lying waiting for me. But instead of something bejeweled and covered in gold cloth, I arrived to find a plain black gown edged in wife. "For tonight's gala," Desmond announces as I am escorted to his study "I want you to attend as my housekeeper. I need someone to direct my men and Miss Bluejay is busy tonight and you are the only other person I trust to make sure this is handled to my expectations." Miss Bluejay, again. She's the one who has been going out on missions with Adam. He claimed that in my "delicate condition" I was no longer able to handle "the rigors of the chase."Now he tries to make this little "assignment" sound like an honor when we both know what it is--the bastard is finding a way to replace me in every

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 170

    [Vanessa] The handsome man brushes a long auburn strand of hair from his hazel eyes and laughs, “I’m your date, Addison, remember? Is it the mask?”The young gentleman blinks down at me, his hazel eyes framed by an elegant, golden mask. The gold looks perfect on him, matching his white jacket edged in gold. For this event he chose to not wear a shirt, and his beautifully chiselled model’s body is painted in gold, his large dragon tattoo ornamented with body jewels, including a large red ruby in the dragon’s claw, and amber decorating the dragon’s eyes. “I’m sorry, you just startled me,” I smile, moving my eyes away from his very exposed nipple which is peeking at me from around his lapel. The diamond studded bar piercing his nipple is startling as rainbows dance from its surface. As I look up from his surprisingly decorated chest, his dancing eyes glow with laughter as our gazes match. I was so lost thinking about Hunter that for a moment I had forgotten that Adam was my date for to

    [Vanessa]“Me?” My face feels stiff as it twists in surprise, “How?”I didn't hurt him, not his body anyway. Maybe his pride a bit with some of the cruel jabs I hurled at him in my anger and frustration, but he's a big boy, he can handle an insult or two. He's just using this as an excuse because he doesn't want to face me tonight. Fine. Then he'll have to deal with the consequences of his actions. I won't cheat on him--I'm far too loyal for that. Even when Michael cheated on me, I didn't move on to Hunter until after our divorce was final, even though the attraction between me and my new employer was strong. It's not in my nature. When I give my heart, I give everything. But that doesn't mean I can't torture my big bully jerk fiance for thinking it was okay to decieve me. He wants to be sneaky, well I can be sneaky too. “He said he needed a bit of time to heal from a workout injury.” She smirks, trying to hide it behind a fake cough. "Something about a sparring exercise." I’d li

    [Vanessa]I want to tell Livy everything, to finally give her the truth. I feel bad keeping her out of this little secret. But the walls have ears, two of which are attached to Jessica’s head. She’s looking down at me, her mouth opened slightly in surprise as her mind jumps to exactly the correct suspicion. There’s something about her that I don’t trust, that I’ve never trusted. And as her eyes widen with realization, her lips puckering as she prepares to announce the truth, I scramble to say the first thing that comes to mind."Oh, I’m wearing a protective vest under my dress," I lie smoothly. "There are some really bad people who want to hurt us. I have to try and keep safe at all times.” Livy seems to like this idea a little too much and I feel extra guilty that it isn’t true. Maybe, considering my condition, I should wear a vest to conceal and protect my growing bump. But how do I ask for something like that without drawing suspicion? Hopefully after tonight that won’t be an issu

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 167

    [Vanessa]How could I say no without looking like a monster? As I look between her big, wide, innocent hazel eyes, I can’t blame my little girl for wanting to keep something she’s wanted for so long. Looking up at Jessica’s barely concealed smirk, I realize that she’s enjoying this far too much. She wants to look like the benevolent big sister. She’s never liked me much, and now it seems like she’s trying to put a wedge between me and Livy.“Please Mama,” Livy squeezes the doll a little tighter. “I want Jessica to stay. She’s fun. And maybe she can play the mushroom game with us,” she blinks between Jessica and Sylvie.” Sylvie nods, while doing her best to keep her smile in place even though she looks like a very uncomfortable third wheel as she reaches down for Livy’s free hand. “Come along, Miss Livy. Your Mama wanted to make sure you had a nutritious dinner,” she frowns at the basket of candy. “You should eat your veggies first.” Livy pouts, looking over at all of her favorite tr

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 166

    [Vanessa]Before my workout, I had been depressed about the idea of going out on a date, pretending to like someone else as part of a cover act while knowing my fiancé is out there somewhere watching me from afar. But now, as I place a strand of blue pearls around my neck, knowing they are a gift from Hunter, it feels like I am dressing up for him. And I guess, in some ways, that's exactly what I am doing.The seamstress was discreetly silent as she let out my dress, promising me that the sheer overlayer with its empire cut would be enough to hide the alterations. "Nobody will know," she whispered with a small half smile. "I keep my clients' secrets." "Thank you," I had squeezed her hand in true gratitude. I need to remember to give her a generous bonus for her discretion. There are so many people who would take the opportunity to spill a secret like that to the wrong ears. If Debrassy knew the truth, that I'm carrying Hunter's heir, he'd use it against him, as a way to draw him out
