His Bride By Force 73: Ten Steps Ahead
KILLIAN The moment Sera's gaze met mine, I knew bad news awaited me. A lump lodged in my throat as I forced myself to breathe through the dizzying rage tainting my insides. Trembling, I moved over to her side, and she handed her phone over to me. And there she was. My baby girl. My lungs constricted, straining for air as all of the worst-case scenarios flooded my mind. I took a step away from her, my lips parted as fury detonated in my chest. I didn't need any confirmation. Matteo had taken my daughter. But why? Why would he drag my little princess into our feud? Why would he do this to me? She was just a baby. Matteo wasn't the petty type. How had he stooped so low?My worst fears were beginning to come true, and now, I was losing myself. I could feel it. I could feel myself drowning in my rage and despair. Words were tumbling from my lips, but I couldn't hear them. Was this some sort of blackout?Sera was speaking to me, but all I could hear was the pulse roaring in my ears as
His Bride By Force 72: Negative Space
SERA I hated hospitals. The sterile air, the too-bright lights, and the mechanical beeping that never stopped. It all set my nerves on edge. But right now, none of it mattered. The only thing I could focus on was the tiny body lying motionless behind that glass.Rue.She looked so small. Her sparkly pink dress had been replaced with a hospital gown two sizes too big, her curls flattened against the pillow. Her cheeks were pale.I stood outside her room, my arms crossed tight over my chest. Killian stood next to me, as stiff as stone, his jaw clenched hard. No one had said anything in ten minutes. Not since they rushed her in. "Ms. Cross?"I turned quickly. Dr. Mendez was back. The look in her eyes told me this wasn't just a fainting spell."Rue's stable now," she said gently. "We've completed the first round of tests."I didn't realize I'd been holding my breath until I felt my lungs burn."She has aplastic anemia," the doctor continued. "It's a rare disorder where the bone marr
His Bride By Force 71: Aunt Sera, Are You Sad?
SERA He ducked just as a bullet cracked through the air, ripping past where his head had been less than a second ago. Screams erupted in the room. Juliet hit the ground, shrieking like a banshee.Killian was already moving, stumbling back inside, dazed and sluggish but alive.And I ran toward him."Stay down!" I shouted, throwing myself at him as another shot fired and glass exploded behind us.Killian hit the ground hard, and I landed on top of him, shielding his body with mine."What the hell is happening?" He gasped, disoriented."Sniper," I hissed. "You were tagged. And if I hadn't shown up when I did, your brains would be all over the marble like modern art."His eyes locked on mine. "You saw it?""Yeah. Lucky me. It's almost like I have PTSD X-ray vision now."Another crack echoed. Security was already pouring out from every direction.Killian reached for me, pulling me close, panting hard. "Did you see where the shot came from?""Rooftop across the street," I said. "North
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
