2026-03-16 13:00:21The hospital smelled of antiseptic and artificial stillness. As I approached the High Dependency Unit, the rhythmic hum and beep of medical monitors felt like a mechanical heartbeat echoing through the sterile corridor.
When I reached Room 312, I stopped. Isaac was almost unrecognizable. His face was a landscape of deep purple bruising and surgical tape. His right eye was completely covered by a thick bandage to protect the fractured socket, and a thin oxygen tube traced the contours o

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

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

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

The next day, when I open my eyes, Isaac is gone. The house is quiet, which is not surprising. Ruby and Miley returned in the morning, and Jenna... I don't want to think about her, at least not yet. After washing up, I leave the bungalow and walk along the shore. I enjoy the early hours of solitude

His cheekbones are tense and sharp with fury. His angry gaze feels like it could scorch skin. He moves toward me with a heavy, deliberate gait. Each step echoes against the tiled floor as if he intends to grind me into it. The locker room smells of soap and damp fabric; the air is warm and foggy fr

"I could have run you over, you idiot!" I yell through the closed window. My hands are shaking, and I feel a sharp pain between my shoulder blades. "Are you out of your mind?!"Jaden stares at me silently through the windshield and taps his palm on the hood several times, motioning for me to get ou

Santa Monica Beach is bustling with excitement today: half the university has gathered here. Some came to participate in the annual beach volleyball competition, some to cheer them on, and most are just eager to hang out. Some of the freshmen's bikinis are so small that it would have been easier to
