KILLIAN

My Angel still doesn't understand. She thinks she's playing a game. But the truth is, she was always a piece on my board. So I let her think she was in control.

I played along and let her drug me.

She doesn't realize... I've been ten steps ahead since the day I found out what the Phoenix wanted.

And when I walked into that ballroom behind her in disguise and got her to hand over the exchange item, that was a confirmation.

She chose them. Over me. Again.

Now, all I needed to do was make her understand exactly how it feels when the devil holds you tenderly, right before he breaks you.

Alexa didn't even flinch when I mentioned punishing her. Her fingers ghosted towards the knife strapped to her thigh as if it could save her from me.

"Don't," I warned. But she didn't stop.

She should know better by now.

I moved faster than she could, one hand wrapped around her wrist, twisting it just enough to make her freeze. And with my other hand, I pulled my gun from the back of my wa

  • His Bride By Force   39: Stupidly Turned On

    KILLIAN The pain in my ribs was a bitch, but it was nothing compared to the way my mind was slowly descending into chaos. Matteo was alive. Matteo tried to kill me. Matteo was associated with the phoenix. How did things get so out of hand? I felt physically sick while I sat there letting Alexa button up my white shirt.She knelt in front of me, her brows furrowed, biting the corner of her lip."I swear this shirt was custom tailored to torture people with fractured ribs," she muttered under her breath."Should've gone with the hoodie.""You, should’ve stayed in the hospital bed, but you're allergic to common sense, so here we are."The urge to smile tugged at my mouth before I could stop it.God, I hated how easily she got to me now and how fast it had happened.Every wall I'd spent the last few years fortifying around her was just...gone.Leveled in a heartbeat. Or maybe in the seconds after the blast, when I'd felt her body under mine and realized I'd rather die than lose her ag

  • His Bride By Force   38: Testosterone Is A Disease

    ALEXA Okay. So here's the thing about head injuries. Apparently, they're serious.And apparently, when your mafia husband has both a fractured rib and a concussion, you're not supposed to let him fall asleep, even if he looks like a war-weary Greek god who could keel over at any second."Killian," I snapped, slapping his thigh gently but firmly. "Hey! Eyes up here, husband!"He blinked slowly. As if someone had dialed his brain speed to buffering.Then his head lolled a little to the side. Again.Dear God. Not today, Satan. Not today."I swear, if you close your eyes again, I'm going to—""What? Kiss me back to life?" he rasped, finally turning his head.I blinked."...No. I was going to stick you with a fork."He snorted.It was the smallest victory of my day, and I accepted it like a Nobel Peace Prize.However, that victory didn't last long because in the next few minutes, I had to constantly poke him."Killian." I poked his arm for the fifth time. "Open your eyes."He stayed u

    ALEXA The thunderous sound of the explosion had my ears ringing. And before I could hit the ground, I felt him move.Killian's body twisted in midair as I slammed into him, only for him to catch me, turn, and shield me as the shockwave hit.We landed hard. His weight almost crushed me, his arms locked around my head as the ground convulsed beneath us. Black spots swam at the edges of my vision. I heard the sound of something shattering. A little distance away, someone screamed. They all sounded far away though.And nothing was clearer than the sound of my own heartbeat thundering like a war drum in my ears and the groan that rumbled from his chest.The smell of smoke, dust, and blood assaulted my nostrils, making me cough."Killian," I gasped, still pinned beneath him. "Killian—"He didn't move for a second.Then, slowly, he pushed himself up, just enough for his weight to ease off my ribs. His face hovered inches above mine, a thin line of blood trailing from his temple to h

    ALEXA "Wait..." I blinked at him, bewildered. "You're allergic to cats?!"Killian who was six-foot-something of tattooed intimidation stood there looking as if he'd just been caught in a crime scene he'd orchestrated.He sniffled once. "Apparently still am."I stared at him, bewildered."Oh my God," I muttered, bringing a hand to my mouth. "You brought me to a place full of cats to impress me...even though you're allergic?"He tried to play it cool, but the slight red tinge creeping up his neck betrayed him."I didn't realize they had cats here," he said flatly. It was a dumb lie."Really?" I tilted my head. "So what? You thought this was an alpaca-only petting zoo?"He ignored me, rubbing his temple. I crouched again to stroke the kitten's fur, deliberately glancing up at him."You're turning red.""No, I'm not.""You are. You're blotchy."Another sneeze exploded from him. The tabby kitten looked personally offended.I let out a laugh.He pulled a pristine handkerchief from his

    KILLIAN I yanked her back. She slammed into my chest, and I swear, my knees nearly buckled from the sheer terror that had gripped me."No," I growled into her ear. "No, Alexa. Don't you dare."My voice cracked.It never cracked.But it did just now.My grip tightened around her middle. I could feel her ribs beneath my hands. I could feel her heart racing just like mine.And fuck, I hated her.I hated that she made me feel this much.I despised the fact she could still crush me with a single step.But I also...God help me, I loved her.Even with the past choking me like tendrils of smoke that I couldn't escape from.And seeing her broken didn't bring me satisfaction.It gutted me.She didn't fight me. That scared me more than anything. She just... went limp, collapsing against my chest. My fingers curled tighter around her.She was smaller than I remembered. Or maybe just... hollow. And that hurt worse than the goddamn bullet.....The cursor blinked at me, taunting me as if it

  • His Bride By Force   34: Don’t You Dare

    ALEXA The comments blurred together the longer I stared at them. I tipped the half-empty whiskey glass to my lips again, my eyes stinging as laughter bubbled up from somewhere hollow inside me. It wasn't funny, none of it was. But I laughed anyway."'Gold-digging widow poisons husband and seduces her way into a billionaire's bed.'" I read aloud, my voice wobbling with every word. "Wow. They really pulled out the literary knives for that one."I let the glass dangle from my fingers, swirling what was left in the bottom.Another comment popped up on the screen."I heard she laughed at Vincent's funeral. How much did she make off his death?"My lips curled as I tapped at the screen, my heart hammering beneath my ribs. "Bitch, mind your fucking business."I took another drink. The burn was nothing compared to the ache screaming in my chest.Laughter bubbled up again. It cracked halfway through and turned into a sob.God. I was losing it.I stumbled to my feet, knocking the empty bot
