His Bride By Force 70: Not Today, Satan
SERA I'd been shot, stabbed, electrocuted, betrayed, and once held in a tank of freezing water for nearly two days straight. But nothing, absolutely nothing, was more uncomfortable than walking into a ballroom full of people who either wanted you dead... or desperately wanted to sleep with your husband. Tonight, most of them probably qualified as both.Killian's hand was warm on the small of my back, guiding me through the grand entrance of the Cross Estate's ballroom like we were royalty. Or maybe prey on display. It was hard to tell with this family.The chandeliers above us were stupidly massive, one earthquake away from mass homicide. Music hummed from the string quartet in the corner. And at the far end of the room, on a glittering throne-like chair surrounded by gift baskets, roses, and flatterers, sat Sonia Cross, the queen herself. Killian's mother. Birthday girl. Professional ice sculpture in heels.Her gaze landed on me.I gave her my most charming smile. She didn't s
His Bride By Force 69: The Deadly Ghost With A Charming Smile
KILLIANHOURS AGO, She’d looked at me strangely. She was different, not like the woman I once married for revenge... only to fall harder than I ever intended.No, this version of her?This was before it all. Before the betrayal and way before my revenge plan. And it made my heart hurt.One of the Cross empire’s doctor stood a few feet away, his shoulders tense. "Her brain has undergone severe psychological trauma," he explained, flipping through the clipboard without quite meeting my gaze. "The combination of the hypnosis, the memory wipe, and the physical torture... it's remarkable she's alive. Her amnesia is partial. She remembers everything before the mission. But nothing after."My jaw tightened. "So she doesn't remember her identity as Alexa?""No. Not even Sofia, not the years she has spent rebuilding a life. She's back to being Sera, the assassin. But with gaps. Her subconscious might still be holding pieces hostage.""And the hypnosis?""Unclear. But if the trigger still
His Bride By Force 68: Let Me Guess
SERA My lashes fluttered open slowly. Everything was too bright and too sterile, and the pillow beneath my head smelled faintly like bleach and antiseptics.Wait.This wasn't my apartment.I bolted upright, gasping. "Shit! My pasta's gonna burn!"The sound of a chair scraping made me jolt. I turned my head and blinked at the man sitting beside me.Killian.He was... just sitting right there, frozen. His stormy blue eyes were filled with so much worry and…confusion? Did I perhaps drool in my sleep? Tension rolled off him in slow waves. But I didn't let myself linger on any of that.What I noticed was that his hair was a little longer than I remembered. He had faint stubble, like he hadn't shaved in days. His beautiful blue eyes looked... tired, and there were dark circles under his eyes. But gosh, has he always been this sexy?"You," I murmured, smiling as I reached out to brush his cheek with my fingers. "You look exhausted. And unfairly handsome. What's new?"He didn't move or e
His Bride By Force 67: Because I Don’t Remember
SERA The mansion had never felt this quiet. Killian sat in the living room, the sleeves of his shirt rolled to his elbows, blood still drying at the edge of his cuff. His phone was lying face-down on the coffee table between us. He hadn't said a word since we got back. He just ... walked in, sat down, and stared at nothing.I stood in the middle of the room, Rue asleep on my back, her breath warm against my neck, her arms curled around me.Arabella appeared from the hallway, her heels tapping against the marble. She wore white, of course she did. Her hair was pulled back, and her lipstick was perfect. She looked at me, then at Killian, and smirked as if she knew a secret we didn't know."Come, darling," she said softly, extending her arms to Rue. "Let's get you home."Rue stirred, mumbling against my shoulder, but I helped her down carefully. She blinked up at me with hazy eyes. "Can I come another day, Aunt Sera?"I nodded, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Always."Arabella took
His Bride By Force 66: Maldito Seas por Hacerme Sentir
ETHAN The fluorescent lights in the hallway buzzed overhead, annoyingly loud against the pounding in my head. Rainwater dripped from the ends of my sleeves, soaking through the cuffs of my shirt. My coat was ruined. My patience? Nonexistent. I'd been pacing outside Rafael's hospital room for exactly twenty-two minutes. It wasn’t because I was waiting for permission. But because if I walked in looking the way I felt, I'd scare him. My jaw was clenched so tightly I was certain that my molars would crack. My hands itched to curl into fists again, even though the last time had left blood spattered across tile and Luke screaming for mercy through broken teeth. Not enough. It was still not enough. He'd laid his hands on Rafael. And I'd seen red. I'd nearly made a fatal mistake tonight. I was supposed to be the rational one. The consigliere. The brain, the fixer, the man with clean hands and an insane amount of control. But that control had snapped the moment I saw Rafael's blo
His Bride By Force 65: The Bitter Taste Of Irony
RAFAEL Rue was giggling against my chest, her small hands fisting the collar of my shirt. I adjusted her slightly, pretending to wince. "Ugh. Remind me again why I agreed to carry you all the way in? I'm too pretty for spinal damage.""You said you were strong," she chirped, kicking her legs playfully."I lied, obviously." I nudged her nose with mine. "These muscles are for decoration, not labor."She giggled again, and that sound made the whole shitty day worth it. I reached the front door, humming something softly under my breath. But then I paused.The lock.It was... off.I stared at it for a second. I never leave it unlocked. Ever. And I'd locked it myself earlier before we left. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up.My smile didn't drop because Rue was still watching, but my whole body had tensed. I opened the door slowly and stepped in without a sound. There was no one in the sitting room."Alright, sunshine. We're playing a game now," I whispered. "Hide and seek, oka
