Gerald left the room quietly and the three of them heard his footsteps moving down the hall and then the sound of the front door opening and closing and then nothing but the morning settling around the house.

Their father looked at the empty doorway for a moment. Then he turned to Lorenzo.

He reached out and put his hand on Lorenzo's shoulder. Not a firm grip. Just a gentle weight. The kind that said I see you without needing words to carry it.

Lorenzo looked at the hand on his shoulder and the

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN: Pushing Blame

    Selene kept murmuring the same sentence over and over again, like a broken recorder.She was just standing there in the middle of the funeral ground with her mouth moving slightly and the question kept cycling through her head on repeat because she couldn't get past it no matter how hard she tried.How…How did Carlos find out?She had been so careful. The apartment she always used was registered under a name that didn't connect to her in any obvious way and she had never taken her phone there. She had always arrived and left separately and she had even taken care of Hassan when she realized how badly the pregnancy situation was going to complicate things. She had tied every loose end she could find and was completely certain that there was nothing left to find.Hassan must have set something up before she got to him.“Could he have suspected me and betrayed me?” Selene murmured to herself.The thought moved through her slowly and then faster as the pieces connected and the full pictu

    Carlos's words caused another wave of gasps and murmuring.“Are my ears playing tricks on me?”“She is framing Don Retroferd?”The guests were murmuring in shock and Carlos's words were even more shocking than Selene's pregnancy announcement.After the initial shock and exclamations, the place fell into silence again. It was a very uncomfortable silence as everyone was doing rapid calculations in their heads and arriving at the same conclusion. Everyone looked at Selene and the collective thought moving through that crowd was almost visible.She tried to frame Don Maxton Retroferd with a pregnancy… which is simply suicidal.The boldness of it was so mind blowing and the expressions on the faces around reflected that stunned and disbelieving expressions.Selene felt every single one of those eyes on her and her mind worked with lightning speed as she quickly adjusted her emotions.She pulled herself up from the ground and adjusted her dress and when she turned to face Carlos her expre

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE: But She Was Wrong

    Those five words that Selene said at the end, hit the whole funeral ground like a physical blow to the chest.“I am pregnant with your child.”The entire world seemed to tilt on its axis. For a few heart-stopping seconds, everything just… stopped. Nobody moved or made a sound. The wind continued to dance through the white lilies on the coffin, blissfully unaware of the cruelty that had just been unleashed, but the people were like frozen statues. It took a full three seconds, which seems like an eternity in a moment like that, before the collective shock began to shatter. Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wildfire catching a fresh breeze, starting from the front rows and sweeping all the way to the back.Every single pair of eyes snapped toward Michael.It wasn't even a subtle reaction. People were openly, hungrily staring at him, waiting to see how a father would handle the news that his daughter’s husband had just been accused of a humiliating betrayal at his own wife’s mother

    Maxton felt her hand tighten in his, the second Selene's heels started clicking across the ground toward them and he squeezed back before she could do anything with the anger he could already feel building in her body beside him."I didn't know she was coming," he said quietly, low enough that only Raina could hear him. "I will take care of it…Don't worry."Raina didn't say anything and she didn't need to because her jaw was doing all the talking for her."I'll handle it," he said.He turned to move toward Selene and had only taken two steps when Selene arrived rushed to him first and made handling the situation more complicated because Selene had never in her life made a single thing easy for anyone.She appeared at Maxton's side like she belonged there and leaned into him with a soft smile. Her hand found his arm and she looked up at him with that expression she had been using her whole life to get exactly what she wanted from people. Extremely coquettish and slightly shy for every

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE: Life Is So Unfair

    Raina woke up before her alarm even had the chance to go off.The room was still dark and she lay there for a moment just staring at the ceiling, not really thinking about anything specific, just existing in the quiet before the day had a chance to become what it was going to become. Her eyes felt heavy and slightly swollen from all the crying she had done the night before and her chest still ached in that deep hollow way that had nothing to do with the fight and everything to do with the hole that had been punched through her life in the past two days.But underneath all of that heaviness there was something she hadn't expected to find when she woke up.She felt lighter.Not okay. She was nowhere close to okay and she knew that. But lighter in the specific way that happened when you stopped fighting your grief and just let it move through you properly instead of holding it at arm's length and managing it like something that needed to be controlled. Last night she had cried without m

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: Letting It All Out

    When they came downstairs, Michael didn't try to stop them.He simply watched Raina walk down the stairs with Maxton trailing closely behind her. His eyes moved over her face with the quiet emotions of a father who had been given a second chance at a life he thought he’d lost. It was like he was memorizing every detail, trying to reconcile the daughter he had once known with the woman standing before him now."Rest well," he said softly.Raina stopped at the bottom of the stairs, looking at him in his wheelchair. A complicated and heavy feeling settled in her chest all of a sudden. She was still learning how to be his daughter again, still struggling to hold the reality that he wasn't the one who made her miserable all these years.But he still had the same face as Maxwell and every time she looks at him, she sees the person she hated so much."Keep an eye on Lorenzo," she said, her voice was steady, even though her eyes were slightly wet. "He's not doing okay.. And please don't allo
