SOPHIA 

I woke before dawn and slipped out of the room. My first stop was the kitchen so I could make coffee and breakfast before anyone was up. But Adrian was already there. 

His hair was damp from his shower, and his tie wasn’t yet knotted. He stared into his mug like it held answers. Was he trying to leave for work before any of us woke up?

Even if you don't, still check it out..*. .*. .*. .*.(The Alpha's Unexpected Luna) C1: Ugly cowSOMA A slap lands hard across my cheek the moment I enter my cousin’s room, stealing the breath right out of my lungs. I step back to protect myself, but the second slap cracks across my other cheek, snapping my head to the side. “Where were you, you ugly cow?” Maeve, my cousin demands. She takes one step forward, and I flinch, using my hair to shield my face. “Wait, are you trying to run?” “N-no,” I stutter. I force myself to stay put, my hands shaking at my sides. “Of course not. I came as soon as you called.” Someone laughs from the bed. Sheila, her elder sister. Maeve takes one look at

  • His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire   Bonus (II)

    ADRIANA sharp, sudden, unapologetic cry tore through the night. I jolted awake before my brain fully caught up, already sitting upright and reaching for the space beside me, where my wife usually lay. But I found it empty.“Sophia?” My voice came out lower than intended, rough with sleep and something else.“I’ve got her,” she called softly from across the room.Her.Elena.That word still did something to me. I turned toward the sound, my eyes adjusting just enough to make out the shape of her in the dim light.My wife stood near the bassinet, gently lifting our daughter into her arms with a care that felt instinctive,

  • His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire   Bonus (I)

    ADRIANI woke up before the sun, but for once, it wasn’t tension that dragged me out of sleep. It was the peace and quiet. For the next few seconds, I stayed still, staring at the ceiling and letting it all settle.Today.The word didn’t come with panic. No strategy followed it. No contingency plans lined up behind it like soldiers waiting for orders.Just… today.I turned my head slightly, and a smile curved my lips. Sophia was still asleep beside me, her face turned toward my shoulder, her breathing slow and even. One hand rested loosely over my chest, like she’d fallen asleep making sure I was still there.My hand moved before I could think, covering hers. My thumb brushed lightly over her knuckles, and something in my chest tightened, like that internal hole was finally full.A few months ago, I would’ve ruined this peace. I would’ve overthought it, tried to control it, and even questioned it until it lost whatever softness it had. Now, I just held it carefully because it mattered

  • His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire   Epilogue

    SOPHIAThe house was quieter than I remembered it ever being. It wasn’t empty or lonely, just peaceful.Sunlight streamed in through the curtains in soft golden streaks, settling over the living room as if it belonged here now. Like it always should have.I stood by the doorway for a moment, one hand resting instinctively over my stomach, as I took it all in. It still surprised me sometimes. How calm things could feel after so much chaos. How something that once felt fragile could become steady.“Mom!”Ollie’s voice broke through my thoughts, followed by the rapid patter of his feet across the floor. He skidded to a stop in front of me, slightly out of breath, while holding up a piece of paper like i

  • His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire   115: Take care of her

    SOPHIAThe office felt different lately. Lighter, somehow.Sunlight poured through the tall windows behind my desk, catching on fabric swatches pinned to the board and the fresh arrangement Floral had insisted on placing near the door. White lilies and pale pink roses.“For new beginnings,” she’d said with a wink.Floral herself was perched on the edge of the chair across from me now, legs crossed, her eyes sparkling in a way that told me she had been waiting to interrogate me properly.“You’re glowing,” she announced for the third time.“I am not.” I rolled my eyes, even though a smile tugged at my lips.

  • His Rejected Wife, the Billionaire’s New Desire   114: Structure

    SOPHIAI woke up to the sound of whispering. It was softer than usual, low and deliberate, like someone was sharing secrets. I kept my eyes closed for a moment, listening.“…and you don’t chew on electrical cords,” Adrian was saying, his voice serious.A quiet giggle followed. I cracked one eye open and saw Adrian sitting cross-legged on the floor beside the bed. Ollie was tucked under his arm like a partner in crime.Both of them were facing my stomach with serious expressions. I almost laughed. Were they seriously talking to our baby?“Are you giving the baby rules already?” I mumbled.“Yes.” Adrian looked up, completely unapologetic.

    SOPHIAThe word hung in the air until Olivia broke the silence. She was dressed like a model, in a fitted blouse tucked into a pencil skirt, with her lips stained red. She walked in like she owned the place and wasn’t a staff.
