ALEXA

Killian was silently fuming in the car beside me. He'd been suppressing his rage since we left the boutique several hours ago. I hoped he choked on it or suffered a heart attack from holding it all in. Wait, maybe a brain aneurysm might be better.

"This is your last warning, Alexa. My patience is already wearing thin. Don't throw another stunt at the gala," he finally said, and I adjusted my red dress with a sweet smile.

I had made sure to wear a dress with the highest slit paired with a plunging neckline. Perfect for this event.

"Or what?" I taunted him. If he was going to hit me like Vincent used to, it wouldn't matter. I was pretty much used to that. But this time. I wasn't planning to just stay still and do nothing.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, and Roman shook his head, exasperated.

"You'll regret making a spectacle of yourself, Tesora. And when you do, I won't be nearly as charming as I was today," Killian said, and I faked a shudder.

"You're terrifying," I sai

  • His Bride By Force   19: Losing Control

    KILLIAN I still remember the first time she danced in the rain. She had been wearing a hoodie three sizes too big, her bare feet slapping the marble of my mother's garden courtyard, spinning as though the storm was hers to command.I was standing at the window, my phone pressed to my ear, giving an order to have a man buried so deep no one would even remember his name.And then... I saw her.Laughing and spinning with her arms wide. Her head was tilted back, her face turned towards the sky.Thunder cracked overhead, but she didn't flinch.She never flinched.That was the thing about Seraphina back then. The real one. The one before this fog of memory loss and bloody history between us. She wasn't afraid of lightning. Or me. Or the ruin she was inevitably walking into when she let me pull her closer.I'd stepped outside, still on the call, when she caught me watching."Don't act like you don't want to join me," she'd said, grinning at me like the devil herself."You'll catch a col

  • His Bride By Force   18: A Stranger In My Own Skin

    ALEXA When Rayne pulled up to the house, my stomach was churning with nerves."This is a bad idea," I muttered under my breath.Rayne didn't even blink. "You've said that six times since we left the gym.""Because it is."Because I'm rattled. And possibly about to be emotionally chewed out by the mother of the man I apparently married while forgetting I once shot him.God, I need a drink. Or a lobotomy. Either works."She's not going to kill you," Rayne said, her voice laced with amusement. "Probably."I turned slowly. "What the hell does 'probably' mean?""She's a Cross. They don't murder people in the sitting room. It's bad for the rugs."Fantastic.I barely had time to pretend I was emotionally stable before the front door opened.And there she stood.Sonia Cross.Elegant and Regal.Her icy blue eyes swept over me as if I was gum stuck to her Louboutins. If looks could kill, I'd be six feet under."Seraphina," she said.I cleared my throat and gave her the world's most awkward

  • His Bride By Force   17: Training session, my ass

    ALEXA I knew something was wrong the second Killian told me to "wear something comfortable."That was never a good sign. Especially coming from a man who once wore a three-piece to a fucking club. 'Comfort' was not in his vocabulary.So, naturally, I wore leggings and a black tank top, mostly because I suspected we were going somewhere that might involve murder. Or cardio. Either way, I wanted to be prepared.What I wasn't prepared for?A literal underground training facility straight out of a dystopian action movie."What the hell is this?" I asked as I stepped into the massive space. Polished concrete floors. Fluorescent lights. A shooting range on the far end. And in the center? An elevated ring with ropes, mats, and padded floors. Oh, and weapons. So many goddamn weapons.Killian, the smug bastard that he was, tilted his head."Our private training gym," he simply said."Our?"He nodded.I blinked at him. "You're insane.""Thank you for noticing."He walked ahead of me like

  • His Bride By Force   16: Emotional Support Vixen

    KILLIAN I was too exhausted to think straight, but I knew one thing. I wouldn't sleep unless I was near her.For once, I wanted to shut my mind off for hours without being interrupted by my nightmares. Fuck, I'd had a shitty day. The last thing I wanted to deal with right now was my insomnia.The moment I curled up beside her, something broke inside of me. I didn't mean to. I swear I didn't even realize that I was crying until she spoke."Are you...okay?"Fucking hell, I wasn't okay.I closed my eyes, feeling the tears running down my cheeks. I should've felt embarrassed. But I was too tired to even feel that. All I could feel right then was a relief so immense that it took my breath away. Getting to lie like this with her was something that only happened in my dreams. And surprisingly, she stayed still, letting me hold her.Roman had to be wrong. That woman who'd come to see me couldn't be Seraphina. There was no other woman who could make me feel so at peace with myself. No o

  • His Bride By Force   15: Let Me Hold You

    ALEXA I was straddling him. His palms cradled my hips, his lips tracing every inch of my skin like he was starving and I was the last thing he would ever taste. There was no roughness in his touch, just tenderness and care."Seraphina," he whispered breathlessly.Stars above, his voice was nothing like the usual cold steel. It was soft and raw.I should've felt powerful and in control. But I…I didn't.I felt... devastated.Because I could feel his love like it was etched into my goddamn bones.My fingers tangled in his hair as I rolled my hips against him. The thick press of him beneath me made my whole body ache. He didn't thrust up. He didn't take over. He just let me take what I needed while he watched me with those heavy-lidded glacial blue eyes that were glassy with lust and passion."You're mine," he moaned, his cock growing harder.And I leaned forward, my mouth brushing against his lips as I breathed."Yours, Saint."His breath caught, and his eyes snapped shut. His hands

  • His Bride By Force   14: Bite Me Again

    KILLIAN I still remembered the satisfying sound that left Matteo's mouth when I'd chopped off his arm. I should've taken his tongue too. That man had no business breathing close to her, much less touching her. He'd been getting on my nerves lately, but touching Alexa was the final straw. Maybe killing him would've been better. No, it was best if he lived and never forgot this lesson. I stood in my study, the lights dim. One hand swirled the amber liquid in my glass, the other hovered over the biometric scanner beside the fireplace. A soft click echoed, and the bookshelf groaned open, revealing the steel door of my private vault. No one knew it existed. Not even her. Especially not her. I unlocked it. Inside it sat a single black ledger. It contained coded intel, names, dates, blood money and syndicate transactions. There were blackmails so lethal it could turn politicians into ghosts and emperors into pawns. I picked it up, flipping it open slowly. My fingers skimmed over
