Pascal drove like the road owed him something and his grip on the steering wheel was extremely tight as he kept looking at the back through the rearview mirror every few minutes.

Every red light and slow car in front of them made Raina's chest tighten another notch. She sat in the back with Maxton's head still in her lap, one hand pressed flat against his chest, counting his breaths like each one was a small gift she was terrified of losing.

"Almost there," Pascal said from the front, more to h

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE: She Will Not Live To See Tomorrow

    Raina's hands started shaking the moment her mind processed those two words.She read them again and again. Like maybe she had misread the first time, or maybe her brain was playing tricks on her because of everything she had been through in the last twelve hours.But the bold words, ‘DIVORCE AGREEMENT’ still stood majestically at the top of the page, making it impossible for her not to believe what she was seeing.Her legs suddenly became unsteady under her and she stumbled backward. Lorenzo instantly rushed to her side and his hands caught her before she could go all the way down, steadying her with both arms while his own eyes stayed locked on the papers.He couldn't see what was written on it clearly but from how Raina was reacting to it, he knew it can't be anything good.Raina grabbed the papers with shaky hands, tears already rapidly rolling down her face before she had even made a conscious decision to cry. She read through the whole thing, line by line, her eyes scanning fran

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT: A Slight Hesitation

    It had been a few hours since Carlos and Pascal walked out of the hospital building, and nobody had heard a single word from either of them.The clean up team arrived at the hospital after taking care of everything in the woods. They were all in the waiting area on the first floor, awaiting news of how Maxton was doing.Bailey sat in the waiting area with her injured hand resting on her knee, and her eyes flicking to the entrance every few minutes. Marcus sat beside her, with his head leaning back against the wall. The other men who had come with them were scattered around the room, some dozing, some staring at their phones, all of them wearing the same heavy, drained look of people who had been through a lot in one night.When Carlos and Pascal finally walked through the entrance, Bailey sat up straight immediately and she couldn't wait to ask them how Maxton was doing.Carlos looked like he had aged in just a few hours. His face was slightly pale and his jaw was set in a tight line,

    Almost half an hour later, the emergency room door finally opened again and Carlos walked out with a complicated expression.His expression was a clear indication that something was terribly wrong and Raina saw it immediately. The way he was walking too fast, eyes down and not looking at anyone. She pushed off the wall and went straight towards him with an anxious expression."Carlos." She grabbed his arm while staring at his face. "How is he? What did he say to you?"Carlos stopped and looked at her hand on his arm, then looked away. "He is stable." He replied stiffly."That's not what I asked." Raina said angrily."Raina…." Carlos began."Why did he ask for you?" Raina didn't let him speak, as she immediately interrupted him. Her voice was already breaking as her emotions were heightened. "Why you and not me? I'm his wife, Carlos. What is going on?"Carlos didn't answer her question, he just quietly took her hand off his arm and started walking away without a word.Just like that,

    Pascal drove like the road owed him something and his grip on the steering wheel was extremely tight as he kept looking at the back through the rearview mirror every few minutes.Every red light and slow car in front of them made Raina's chest tighten another notch. She sat in the back with Maxton's head still in her lap, one hand pressed flat against his chest, counting his breaths like each one was a small gift she was terrified of losing."Almost there," Pascal said from the front, more to himself than anyone else.Carlos said nothing, he just watched Maxton's face the whole ride, his own jaw tight, his hands resting on his knees with a stillness that only people who had seen the worst kind of things could manage.When the hospital finally came into view, Raina let out a breath she felt like she had been holding since the warehouse.There were already doctors and nurses waiting outside with a stretcher, which meant Carlos had made calls during the drive without her even noticing.

    “You bitch!” After finally recovering from the shock of the slap, Bailey yelled angrily at Raina.“That's enough, Bailey!” Carlos angrily reprimanded her with a deep frown.Raina just acted like she didn't hear what Bailey said and just looked ahead without a word.Carlos could only sigh and start the car. The drive to the woods felt like the longest hour of Raina's life.She sat in the back seat with her hands clasped tightly on her lap, her knee bouncing and her eyes fixed on the road ahead like staring hard enough would somehow make the car go faster. She didn't talk and nobody else did either. The only sounds were the engine, the tires on the road, and the occasional crackle of someone's radio up front.She kept replaying Maxton's voice in her head. The way he said her name and how calm he sounded, too calm, like he was working very hard to keep it that way. She didn't know whether to be relieved or terrified, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.When the cars finally rolled to

    “Carlos, please meet the doctor and handle all the necessary papers” Raina said with a hoarse voice while still holding Angelo in her arms.Carlos nodded and walked with the Doctor to the other end of the hallway.“Do you think he understands?” Lisa suddenly asked from the side while looking at the sleeping Angelo.“Probably not…toddlers are dumb as fuck, so he probably doesn't understand” Bailey rolled her eyes and said without any emotion.Marcus angrily glared at her and she frowned with a confused expression. “What? Why are you giving me that look?” She asked him and this time, it was her friend Lisa that glared at her.Raina was pissed off but she wasn't in the mood to deal with Bailey's insensitive actions.“ That little boy just lost his father and he is now an orphan, that's something I expect you to know how painful it is” Pascal said from the side and his voice was cold.“You expect me to know? Why don't you just call me an orphan directly!” Bailey suddenly raised her voice

    The black car roared through the gates of the Retroferd estate. Maxton didn't wait for the guards to open his door, he quickly stepped out with Raina still cradled in his arms. She looked like a broken doll, but the way she held her head showed she was far from finished. Maxton’s face was dark and
