The grip Eric had on my waist was bruising. He didn't lead me out of the bistro; he practically hauled me. I could feel the eyes of every single person in the diner on my back, their whispers following us like a funeral procession.

"Eric, stop! You’re hurting me," I hissed, trying to pry his fingers off my skin.

He didn't say a word. His jaw was set so tight I thought his teeth might crack. He threw open the door of the black SUV and practically shoved me inside. Before I could even scoot over,

    The sound of the air conditioning humming was the only noise in the tight, enclosed space of the car.Sophia tapped rhythmically on the steering wheel, her thoughts a jumbled mess. The current predicament was her main issue: Eric still shut her out, even going as far as blocking her number.William, on the other hand, had been persistent — calling her every single day without rest. She was very close to telling him off, but decided to ignore him for now. She would pay him back in her own way.Her mind drifted to the conversation she had with Eleanor a few days prior.“I have no business with that woman,” Eleanor had said, crossing her arms over her chest. “She’s no longer a Kingston, and from what I’m hearing, she no longer owns the properties my father gave her.”“And what if I tell you there’s a possibility of her becoming your sister-in-law again?” Sophia had asked.“Then I would say you’re not doing your job properly,” Elean

    "What do you mean Sebastian Thorne is one of the receivers of the royalties?” Autumn stopped eating. She couldn’t understand how Sebastian could be a beneficiary of the Blackwood fortune.“I did some digging into the beneficiaries,” Gus continued. “Clear as day, an offshore account is listed there. It’s the same offshore account in the Cayman Islands — the one that buys products from that pharmaceutical company.”“But still… how?” She still couldn’t fathom how Sebastian had managed to slither his way into something like this.“Aren’t the Blackwoods’ fortune supposed to be non-existent?” she asked, recalling the documents she had read in the attic while they were living in Edinburgh. “They were merged with the Kingstons. Elijah Kingston himself absorbed them to save Kingston Group when it was dying.”“What are you talking about?” Gus asked, puzzled.“It’s nothing,” she waved her hand dismissively, trying to change the subject. Then she rem

    "Why always this family?” she mused, letting out a breath of annoyance at the new finding. “After I almost died multiple times because of them?” She was more angry than anything else.The emotions came rushing back as she remembered the hell she had gone through just because of her own determination to find the truth.The truth about that cursed family.“They’re hunting me at this point,” she tapped her fingers in thought. “This cannot be a coincidence. They really are hunting me.” She let out a huff. “Every time I try to forget about this family, I get pulled back in for one reason or another.”“Miranda, I’m no longer married to your son. I have nothing to do with your family. Why do you keep bothering me?” she sighed in final resignation.“You know what…” She sat up straighter. “Fine. I’ll look into it.” She raised her hands dramatically in surrender as she planned her next course of action.“Is Eric even aware of this?” she thought out loud, reaching for her phone to call him.She

    “God, I should have just run with the urn,” she chastised herself as the taxi pulled away.“I would have taken it with me.” She crossed her arms, annoyed at her own mistake. “I’m so stupid.” She slapped a palm against her forehead.But then again, what was she supposed to do? How was she going to stop herself from falling deeper into his pit? He had her right where he wanted her.She had been just a breath away from his lips. Their mouths had been so close to touching, and she knew she would have let him.“God, I’m so weak,” she groaned, remembering the feeling. There was no way she wouldn’t have slept with him if things had gone further.*Why couldn’t he just still hate me?* she thought, smacking her hand against her forehead again. *Why? Why?? Why???**He should continue hating me. It makes it easier to avoid him.* She groaned loudly, drawing the driver’s attention.“I wonder if he won’t let me get close to Fin because of this?” She finally digested the gravity of the situation. Her

    “I said give me back my child.” He moved to take the box from her, but she ducked under his free arm and pressed it tightly against her chest.“You’ve been refusing to let me see her for weeks,” Autumn said, holding the box closer. “You even cremated her before I could see her body.”“Do you deserve the right to see her?” he asked, walking toward her.“I do,” she yelled. All the resentment and anger that had built up from those nights spent clutching her pillows came tumbling out.“I carried her for six months before she was ripped out of me.” She held the box tighter. “Don’t I deserve that much?”“No, you don’t,” he replied. “You’re the one who stubbornly moved out of the house just because of a little temper tantrum.”“You call me finding out you cheated a temper tantrum?” she scoffed.“I did not cheat on you. I never cheated on you,” he yelled.“Sure. I believe you.” Her voice was thick with sarcasm. “That’s why you’re so eager to flaunt your new relationships.”“That’s your own bu

    “I asked you a question. What are you doing here?” he said as he walked inside, taking in her tear-streaked face.His heart ached at the sight of her standing up to face him, her eyes filled with defiance even as she stepped sideways to cover the box.His gaze flickered to the table. The edge of the box was still slightly visible. The concern on his face shifted into something colder — anger.“What are you doing with that?” he roared, walking closer.Autumn instinctively moved to shield the box from his sight, as if that would change anything.“Nothing,” she answered automatically, trying to clear herself of anything incriminating.“Nothing?” Eric mocked, letting out a sarcastic sneer. “You broke into my office, went through my belongings, and you’re telling me it’s nothing?”“I did not break into your things,” she shot back defensively. “You invited me over.”He clicked his tongue at her reply. “I invited you over to see our son, not to rummage through my belongings—”Chloe stepped i

    I had spent the last few days trying to settle into the new house in Edinburgh. On the outside, everything looked perfect. The stone walls were strong, the air was fresh, and we were far away from the chaos of London. But inside the house, a different kind of war was starting.I had tried to get to

    Autumn POVI sat down on the sofa, staring at the TV. A broadcast of an interview was playing on the screen, the bright lights of the television reflecting in my eyes. The words being said echoed in the vast, space of the living room. It felt like the house was too big now, especially with the

    We had finally returned home after spending three grueling days at the hospital. The sterile smell of antiseptic seemed to have seeped into my skin, and the constant beep of monitors still echoed in my ears. Finn was much better, his laughter returning as we walked through the front doors of the es
