INICIAR SESIÓNJess stared at the thing in-front of her wondering if her eyes were playing some sick joke on her. It couldn’t be, how had this happen? When had it happen? Enlightenment dawned on her as the color drained from her face, was life not cruel enough for her, now this, this sick joke that she was thrown into. Did it even make sense for her to notify the father? “Damnit”she cursed as a twisted laugh left her lips wasn’t it already enough that she would die soon. But now because the bitch called life wanted to toy with her some more she made her pregnant. And for whom?? Her laugh quickly turned into a sob. She was now pregnant for a slave no less.
Ver másLate afternoon sunlight spilled across Dragon estate, turning the gardens gold and softening the sharp edges of the world beyond its gates. Inside, laughter echoed. Real laughter, the kind that hadn’t visited these halls often enough lately. Phoe darted across the sitting room, socked feet sliding against polished floors as Amir chased after him at a pace that suggested he could catch the boy easily… but chose not to. “You cheated!” Phoe squealed. “I absolutely did not,” Amir replied smoothly. “You took longer steps!” “That is the advantage of adulthood.” Apollo watched from his chair, one ankle resting over his knee, a quiet smile tugging at his mouth. Jess leaned into his side, her head resting comfortably against his shoulder. This. This was what safety looked like. Not silence. Not perfection. Just people learning how to breathe together again. Phoe finally collapsed onto the rug dramatically. “I’m tired.” Amir dropped beside him without hesitation.
The phone lay on the floor like a loaded weapon. I couldn’t bring myself to touch it. My breath came in shallow, broken gasps, my chest aching as if something heavy was sitting directly on my lungs. My vision blurred, the edges of the room warping as panic tightened its grip around my throat. No. No no no no no no. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be. I hadn’t seen him in years. Hadn’t heard that name whispered since the day I fled that country with nothing but dirty money and terror in my veins. Dragma. My hands began to shake violently. How had he found me? Why was he even looking for me my contract with him would end in two months. I only had two fucking months to go. I hadn’t told anyone where I went after I left. I had burned phones, erased accounts, begged lawyers and criminals alike to bury my past so deeply even I wouldn’t be able to find it again. Jackal had even helped me, I had left as soon as I had given birth to Phoe. I didn’t want my baby getting tie
The unease started before the nightmare. She woke with her heart racing, sheets tangled around her legs, breath shallow as if she’d been running in her sleep. The sweat cooling on her skin, her hair clinging to her nape and around her face. For a moment, she didn’t know where she was. Then the room came back into focus. Her bed. Her apartment. Her life she was carefully trying to rebuild. Still… something felt wrong. Not fear. Expectation. She had been keeping to herself, doing mundane things. Chilling with friends who kept low profiles. She rose quietly, padding barefoot to the window. The street below looked normal. It seemed almost fake. Her phone vibrated on the bedside table. She froze staring at it as if it would move towards her. The screen lit up. UNKNOWN NUMBER Her stomach dropped. She didn’t move an inch still stuck in her spot. The phone vibrated again. Then a message appeared, gingerly she took up the phone and opened the message. *It has been a v
The gates to the estate slid open just as the sun dipped lower in the sky, bathing the long driveway in gold. Frank slowed the car instinctively, already scanning the front of the house. And then, “There he is!” Phoe came barreling down the front steps like a small hurricane, sneakers flashing, laughter ringing through the air. “Daddy! Mommy!” Jess barely had time to unbuckle before the door flew open and Phoe launched himself straight into her arms. “I missed you!” he declared loudly, wrapping himself around her neck. She laughed breathlessly, kissing his cheek. “You were only gone a little while.” “But it felt like forever,” he insisted. Apollo stepped out behind them, crouching as Phoe turned and tackled him next. “There’s my boy,” Apollo said warmly, lifting him with ease. “Did you survive this whole time without us?” “Nope,” Phoe said cheerfully. “But I had so much fun.” “That sounds suspicious,” Apollo replied. Phoe’s eyes lit up instantly. A fit of g
