[Addison]

It’s weird being back home. I bought this house with my own money and yet it doesn’t feel like home anymore.

As we step into the living room which two months ago I had managed to escape on a broken ankle, Jayson rushes off laughing as Livy and I stand in the doorway.

“Hello,” I call out, hoping Evelyn is around. “Anyone home.”

There is no response. The only sound is Jayson’s tablet turning on in the other room, his headphones' volume up loud enough that I can hear which episode of his favorite ninja cartoon is playing.

“Jayson!” I call out, “You haven’t earned tablet time. Turn that off and come downstairs.”

Livy looks hesitantly at the sofa, her face twisted in confusion as she looks at dirty dishes left piled on a cushion. I don't blame her for her confusion. She's probably never seen a place this messy in her life. Her uncle's cleaning staff keeps everything shined and polished.

"Do you need help, Auntie," she blinks up at me with her large hazel eyes. Picking up th

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 140

    [Vanessa] Last week, my world changed forever, again. It’s crazy how many twists and turns we can face in one lifetime. Just a few months ago I was a housewife and part-time paralegal married to a man I thought loved me unconditionally, with a son who was my entire universe. That world ended the day Evelyn Valentine entered my world. My husband’s first love, that homewrecker destroyed a world I never knew was so fragile. I never knew my family existed on borrowed time, living on a thin layer of ice easily shattered by the machinations of one determined woman. As to why she came into our lives in the first place, I still don’t understand. Was it just to steal my wealth, money Michael had been secretly funneling away for years, or was it to take my place as his wife. It doesn’t matter anymore. She’s not a part of my life. Evelyn can have Michael and the crumbs of that old life. I’ve shed it like old skin, emerging as something bigger and stronger than before. “Ma’am,” there’s a knoc

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 139

    [Hunter]Watching her fall apart without me has been a singular type of self-inflicted torture. I made this nightmare for myself when I told everyone to keep me dead, to keep me hidden, all so that we could lure the enemy into a false sense of security.Behind these cameras, I've witnessed every hidden tear, every time she sucks in her breath and takes a moment to steady herself before entering a room. I don't have eyes inside of our suite, but I see how every night she's only moments away from falling apart as she wishes Charley a good evening. I hear her screams of agony in the night when she thinks nobody is listening. Every moment of heartbreak. Every time she whispers my name and places her hand on my heart when she thinks no one is looking.--every bit of it is all my fault. Watching over her is my penance and my duty. It was my decision to go into Code Black and hide my plans from everyone, including my own second in command.I just had no idea how hard it would be to carry t

    [Vanessa]Looking at the offered hand, I hesitate. The blonde, Ms. Smith, exchanges looks with Mr. Carter, and then the professor, as if trying to decide what they should do. Were they expecting me to jump at the chance to join the same shadow organization that probably led to my beloved's death. Yes, serving as an agent of Black Eagle, infiltrating CCRP, and finding a way to bring Debrassy down would be a perfect opportunity to find my revenge against that family-murdering bastard, but it almost feels too perfect--like it's being handed to me.Maybe it's because of everything I had to go through with Michael and all the secrets that were hiding underneath the surface. Maybe it is because Hunter, despite how much he loved me, had a ton of dangerous secrets of his own, secrets that led to his demise.Or maybe, it's my own secrets, the ones that are keeping me stuck between identities.Regardless of the reasons, it feels like this offer is coming out of the blue. How would the head of

    [Addison/Vanessa]Tracy pulls the cold metal disc from my belly with a smile. "Now remember you still need to take it easy. Because of your last pregnancy, you are considered very high risk for another miscarriage, especially with the amount of stress you've been under since..." She doesn't finish her thought but we both know what she's thinking: Since Hunter disappeared. It's been two months since I saw The Briar explode. Two months without any news of what happened to him. The fire burned so bright that there weren't even any bodies to find. Other than the ash and ruin, there was almost no sign that a building was ever there, nevermind any of the people who happened to be inside. "You won't be able to hide the baby much longer either, Addy," Tracy warns. "You're going to need to think of a better, long term solution." I told her about the professor and the offer he made for me to just vanish, to leave all of this behind. Tracy thinks I should, even if it meant never seeing her aga

    [Addison/Vanessa]I've seen her do that before, in the bathroom at the restaurant where she hit me and told me to stay away from Hunter "or else." Her expression had changed just as quickly. She's an excellent actress. But why is she acting now?Why is she only pretending to be sad?Maybe I'm misinterpreting the situation. I'm not exactly in my right mind. Jessica Jackson is an operative of Black Eagle. In many ways it makes sense, since Hunter rescued her, like so many of the others in his organization. She was young, but that means that she's perfect to train. She probably doesn't want to feel at danger any more than I do. As Hunter Grant's ward, she's probably in similar danger, even if people don't realize their relationship for what it is.But her taking amusement at my discomfort in a moment of sorrow--is she being malicious, or just immature? She's only a few years younger than me and yet in many ways, she often seems like such a child.I don’t have enough emotional bandwidth

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 135

    [Vanessa/Addison]I wish I could feel engaged as Reggie shows me around Black Eagle headquarters, but I can’t stop thinking about my love. Watching The Briar explode as we flew away to safety. How could he survive that? How could anyone? The longer he’s gone, the more the likelihood that he’s already dead. No way would he let me feel his loss without reaching out. He would find a way to let me know he wasn’t dead. I’m sure of this. A door slides open behind me and I jump, startled at the sound. Turning around, I come face to face with Jessica, his foster daughter, and my body clenches. The last time I had seen her, she had been making out with my fiance. How is it that she has access to a place I was only told about today? A tinge of jealousy rises along with those moments of unkindness she had shown me when I was first introduced. Was she trying to protect this secret, along with her relationship with Hunter?“Addison, why are you here?” Her bright eyes are wide with confusion as s
