“Master X, trust me, I have a way of gaining the Hunt family fortune and the Morgan family fortune, and it would be easy to achieve your goal of destroying the four great families,” Jayden persuaded.

“The easiest way to do that is by giving Aria to me,” Jayden added.

Jayden didn't know that his sudden visit to Master X would make him find such a gold mine.

The man had kidnapped Aria, and Jayden thought he hadn't heard such good news in a while. Besides, Kayden would surely suspect Master X an

    5An hour later... Ethan's study.I stared at the black-and-white text printed on the papers before me, a suffocating coldness spreading through my veins.I lifted my gaze, staring across the heavy mahogany desk at Ethan with utter disbelief."I cheated? I'm an addict who has repeatedly refused rehab?" I whispered, my voice trembling with disgust."You just have to confirm those statements to the press, and I'll wire $100,000 to your account immediately," Ethan replied casually, leaning back in his leather chair. "Don't tell me you don't want to save your mother?""Why on earth would I agree to destroy my own life?" I hissed, clutching the edge of the desk. "Do you take me for a complete fool? After three years of marriage, this is how you repay me? By dragging my name through the mud just to pave a clean path for “her”?""Oh, don't be so dramatic," Ethan scoffed, waving his hand dismissively. "I'm paying you to put on a show for the public. In a few weeks, I'll release another PR dis

    4The ride to Premier Care Hospital passed in a blur. All I could think of was my mother.'Why had she relapsed so suddenly? Was she going to make it? Should I call my father? Would he even care?’My thoughts were in such complete disarray that I didn't even realize we had pulled up to the hospital entrance.I was so consumed by panic that I didn't notice Damian getting out until my side of the door swung open.He leaned into the vehicle, his broad frame blocking out the streetlights as he reached across me to unbuckle my seatbelt."Mr. Sterling—""Damian," he corrected softly, his dark eyes locking onto mine as he unlatched the belt. "Call me Damian."I didn't answer. The moment the buckle released, I stepped out of the car, deliberately avoiding his outstretched hand."Thank you for the ride, Mr. Sterling, but I'll take it from here," I said, stepping back when I realized he intended to walk me inside. "You don't need to come with me.""Arabella—""Thank you. But I'm fine... really.

    3"Why?" Damian whispered, leaning down slightly so his warm breath brushed the side of my neck. "Is that why you try to shrink yourself whenever I'm around?"His gaze lingered on mine. "You weren't this afraid of me a year ago.”My heart plummeted into my stomach.Had he noticed? The lingering glances I thought I'd hidden so carefully? The secret breathlessness I'd always fought whenever he walked into a room?Did he know I'd been noticing every glance, every quiet moment between us since the night he'd saved me from Ethan's enemies a year ago, when my husband had been too busy with Sienna to even realize I was missing?"I… I don't know what you're talking about," I stammered, pulling back as much as the bar behind me would allow.How could I ever admit something like that out loud?Damian took another step forward, eliminating every inch of space between us.Unwanted heat spread through me instantly, my heart hammering against my ribs and my breath hitching in my chest."Then why di

    2 For a moment, I wanted to know what was so urgent that the usually aloof Damian Sterling needed to see me at this hour. Then reality crashed back over me. 'Screw the Sterling family.'I turned on my heel, ignoring the sleek black sedan waiting down the street. I flagged down a passing cab instead. I needed to think. I needed to drown the ache in my chest. I needed to get completely numb.***The club sat on the outer edge of the city—well outside Sterling territory. It was a dim, loud, neutral sanctuary. A place where broken men came to forget and hurting women came to disappear. Perfect. The moment I stepped inside, the bass washed over me. The air smelled of expensive whiskey, heat, and reckless decisions. I slid off my coat, instantly feeling the weight of the room's attention shift toward me. They weren't looking at me as Mrs. Sterling. They were looking at a solitary woman in a mid-thigh red lace dress—an outfit meant for a surprise party with my husband that had turned

  • My Brother-in-law's sinful offer   Author's Note

    AUTHOR’S NOTE ❤️ Dear Lovelies, I want to take a moment to say thank you and sorry. Thank you for reading Cara’s story, for waiting patiently for each update, for leaving comments, sharing your thoughts, and for continuing to support me even when the updates have been slower than usual. Unfortunately, I've been trying to write Cara’s story as a standalone but the platform doesn't think it's good enough. Due to that updates on Cara and Martin’s story will be stopped from now on until the story is revised to meet the required standard. I'm sorry if you're already invested in it. The truth is you're not alone, this is one of my favourite stories that I wanted to share with my readers and it hurts me deeply. That said, I'll be updating an entirely different story from now on, titled: “My Husband's Father wants me.” This is a completely different story that is not related to Aria/Kayden's story. It's a standalone. Your messages, votes, reviews, and kind words would mean

    21Cara and Lucas had barely stepped out of the luxury sedan when a figure stepped into their path near the grand stone pillars of the main entrance.It was Roman—Lucas’s cousin and his fiercest, most ruthless competitor within the Davis empire.For as long as Cara could remember, Roman had been a constant thorn in Lucas’s side, forever plotting to strip him of his standing. He leaned casually against the granite pillar, looking like a gentle scholar with his gold-rimmed glasses perched delicately on his nose, his dark eyes locked onto them. Even though he presented a harmless demeanor in his tailored charcoal suit and amiable smile, Cara knew better than to trust the snake hiding behind those polished manners.Roman’s gaze drifted slowly downward, landing squarely on Cara’s flat stomach with a glint of calculation. “I hear congratulations are in order,” Roman said, his tone dripping with condescension. “You really timed this well, Cousin. Getting your wife pregnant just as Grandfa

The truth is that even though she was practically the

    An hour later, Kayden's mansion… Kayden and Aria descended the stairs to the living room area, and Aria froze seeing the men and women standing in a straight line in the hall. There were about 20 men and only three women. She turned to look at Kayden with a question in her eyes, but he just gave

    About an hour ago, Kayden held his breath in anticipation of Aria's answer. He stared at the screen with intense concentration as if he didn't want to miss a thing. “I'm… Jayden, and I…” Kayden's heart was in turmoil as she began to speak but didn't complete her sentence. He eagerly awaited the r

    “I can explain; it’s…it’s not what it looks like.” Aria stammered only for the door behind her to burst open, revealing Kayden. “You forgot your purse,” he said, handing Aria the purse she didn't even remember carrying. She inwardly winced, wishing to kick Kayden in the head for blowing her cove
