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,

    “Eric?” she said in surprise. “What are you doing here?”Her mind flashed back to a few days ago in the study, when he had cornered her. She remembered the feeling of his body pressed against hers, the heat that had radiated off him.“Can I come inside?” he asked, snapping her out of those not-so-appropriate thoughts about her ex-husband.“I asked you a question. What do you want?” She stepped in front of him, blocking his path. “This is my home, Eric. I’m not letting you pass.”His eyes narrowed slightly before he took a deep breath to steady himself.“If you had read my text messages instead of ignoring me, you would have known why I’m here.” He adjusted the heavy wool coat draped over his left shoulder.Autumn finally took in his full appearance. He wasn’t alone. A small figure was carefully held against his chest, wrapped securely under the coat, and a bag hung from his other hand.“Oh…” was all she could manage when

    The only sound that could be heard was the soft tapping of keys coming from the living room. Autumn had spent the last couple of days cooped up at home, going through the compensation documents as well as the formal demand letter.The sky outside had already darkened, signalling the arrival of an approaching rain.Her eyes drifted from the computer screen to the window, taking in the view. Her mind wandered to that stormy night from two months ago.“It was a night like this when I lost her,” she murmured.Her hand moved to her flat stomach and stayed there. She stared at the darkening sky, watching the first few drops hit the glass.“She would have been eight months by now…”A lump formed in her throat. “I would have been expecting her any day now.”Her eyes watered, but she didn’t move her hand away. She just kept looking at the rain, letting the weight of it sit for a moment longer.Then she exhaled slowly.

    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 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’s POVWe had finally arrived in Edinburgh. After the flight and the long drive from the private airfield, I was physically exhausted. The city was beautiful even in the dark, with its old stone streets and the looming castle in the distance, but I was too tired to truly appreciate

    "Are you alright?"I heard Eric’s voice, low and rumbling, but it sounded like it was coming from underwater. My mind was somewhere else, replaying the look of pure hatred on Chloe’s face. The slamming door echoed in my ears, louder than any thunder.How could I lose the one most important person i

    I asked a passing maid where Eric was, and she directed me toward the sunroom. I walked off, giving my thanks before she could even finish speaking. How dare he treat me in such a manner? I am not a child he can simply restrict from going out; I am a grown woman, and my son’s life is currently at r
