The air in the parking lot suddenly felt thick, charged with static electricity that made the fine hairs on my arms stand up. I felt a dizzying cocktail of emotions—the jagged spike of panic, the warm flush of relief, and a dark, primitive thrum of excitement. Isaac felt the shift in me. His grip on my elbow tightened, his eyes narrowing as he followed my gaze.

"Who the hell—" Isaac began, but the sentence died in his throat.

Jaden wasn't walking; he was hunting. He

  • His Return, My Ruin   Chapter 123

    "Because of me, you haven't gotten any sleep for a week." I roll out my dress and look at Jaden, who is sitting on the bed. His hair is tousled, and the muscles in his shoulders are beautifully tense. "You don't have to walk me home.""You have no reason to feel guilty, Tasha. I always get up at five in the morning. Although, I must admit, in your absence, I have much more time to sleep."He smiles, so I narrow my eyes ironically."Then maybe you should stop inviting me over?"Jaden shakes his head a few times, stands up, and walks toward me. My eyes slide over his bare stomach and linger on his cock. My mouth goes dry. Not only does my soul and heart come alive around Jaden, but my libido awakens too. I think about sex every time he touches me. Isaac was wrong to call me an ice queen and accuse me of being frigid—he simply never knew how to arouse me.Jayden moves in close, bringing our hips into contact and resting his palm on my buttock. I

    "I take it you haven't changed your mind about the divorce? Tyra called me today and said that Isaac received the notice."I think I made it clear that I don't want my parents interfering in my personal life because my mom doesn't seem like she wants to change my mind. Despite her obvious displeasure with the news, she's almost tactful."Of course I haven't changed my mind.I could never have imagined this happening to my daughter.""Lots of people get divorced, Mom. I don't see the point in making a tragedy out of it.""So what will it be like now? Dinners with Tyra and Clark, weekends with your families, and your job at the company? You're not twenty anymore, Tasha. Aren't you afraid of being alone?""Our divorce won't affect your relationship with Fury. Even if it does, I'm not going to take the blame for it." I calmly hold my mother's gaze. And no, I'm not afraid of being alone because I have Sam. I'm only twenty-eight, and I'm just star

  • His Return, My Ruin   Chapter 121

    When will you learn to take responsibility for your decisions, Isaac? I was honest with you about the affair, and you decided to stay together, just as you decided to propose. I offered you a divorce during the first year of our marriage, and many times after that. Your answer was always "no." So what are you trying to accuse me of now? Making bad decisions and overestimating my abilities? You knew perfectly well who you were marrying. I never tried to make myself look better in your eyes, and that didn't turn you off. What's your complaint? Did you make the decisions and blame me for the consequences? Even the broken nose? You got what you deserved, and you know it; otherwise, you'd be at the police station filing an assault report. It's convenient for you to shift the blame onto me. And you're asking me to put up with this?Isaac listens to my accusatory monologue, but, as always, he doesn't let it affect him. Like my mother, he will defend his comfort until his last breath

    He lets me order, then turns to the waiter and starts jabbing at the menu, flipping through the pages. My soul rejoices. Jaden has remained true to himself. There's not a hint of pomposity or desire to flaunt his status as a big businessman in his demeanor. His movements and facial expressions are confident and natural. His gaze lacks the bored superiority I've witnessed so many times among high society members. Like Jordan Cornwell, Jaden is one of those rare people who knows their worth and doesn't try to seem better than they are.The waiter leaves, leaving us alone. I decide to start a conversation. One step toward me inspires me to take a hundred."How was your day today?""Same as usual," Jaden says, his fingers finding a napkin and slowly twirling it. "I came straight from the office.""You must be hungry.""Not really. The receptionist regularly orders food for my office."I can't help but smile. Everly knows her stuff."I see

  • His Return, My Ruin   Chapter 119

    Jaden hasn't been in touch for three days, ever since was arrested in his room. I never tried to visit him in prison the day after I visited Isaac in the hospital because I had no right, how could I show up? His lover, his childhood friend..... I left the lawyers to do their job and hoped that my threats to Isaac had had an effect.I tell myself it's normal and that he needs time, but my brain and heart are at different ends of the spectrum. I can't stop thinking about what he's doing. I can't stop replaying his gaze in my mind or the feel of his lips against my skin. His scent makes my lower abdomen and the left side of my chest ache. With each passing day, my longing for him grows stronger. All I can do is cling to my faith in us and repeat his words: "Always you, wherever I go." My self-control is strongest before bed when I picture closed curtains, a half-empty bottle of whiskey, and Jaden sitting in the dark. He shouldn't be alone again, but he needs to learn that on his

  • His Return, My Ruin   Chapter 118

    After leaving the police station, a strange sense of lightness settled over me. I drove to the elementary school, my mind still replaying Detective Paulsen’s sharp advice and the cold, calculated threats I had delivered to Isaac in the hospital. When I saw my son, Sam, running toward the car with his backpack bouncing against his shoulders, I felt a fierce, protective surge of love. He was the only part of my life that remained untainted by the corporate wars and the violence of the past few days."Hey, honey! How about we skip the usual routine and head to the park for some ice cream?" I asked, ruffling his hair as he climbed into the back seat."Really? Even though it’s a school night?" Sam’s eyes widened with pure childhood excitement."Especially because it’s a school night, and because I would like to make up for lost time while I was away." I smiled, though my heart was still a tangled mess of nerves.At the park, the late af

    "I wouldn't be surprised if I saw you on TV running for president in five years, Tasha." Too bad you're not old enough yet. Trump is about to be impeached."Ruby gives me a loud smack on the cheek, probably smearing my blush. I poke her in the side in response.“How many times have I asked you not

    On Monday, as I pulled into my usual parking spot, I sensed an intuitive change in the air. This was evident from the curious glances and whispers of passersby. Something was different today. Thirty seconds later, I realized what it was when the black trunk of an old-fashioned sedan with chrome acc

    "You got what you wanted, huh?""I always get what I want," I say, holding his gaze. "It's good that you understand that."Jaden says nothing, opens the driver's door, and gets into his car. Before driving away, I notice the interior is immaculate—no empty cups or trash, not a speck of dust on the

    "If you weren't a girl, I'd beat the shit out of you, Tasha. Now turn around and get the hell out of here.""Of course I'll leave," I say, squinting contemptuously into his eyes. "And I'll send you the bill for the tires." When I have proof that you did it, I'll report you to the police. I no longe
