NOTE: My sincere apologies, due to time limit I will be doing the editing later, thank you from chapter 41

The extraction team arrived in under ten minutes.

Silent. Armed. Efficient.

Black SUVs cut through the trees like phantoms, their lights dimmed, their presence announced only by the synchronized movement of shadows. George kept Luna close, one arm firmly around her, as the team flanked the forest in tactical formation. No shots fired. No confrontation.

But when they reached the road, Sebastian was already gone.

All that remained was the dented car, glass scattered across the asphalt like fallen stars, and the echo of something unspoken hanging in the air.

George’s security captain, a tall woman with piercing dark eyes named Adira, approached him as Luna was led into the lead vehicle.

“We searched the perimeter. Whoever was out here, they knew what they were doing. Military precision. No prints. No tracks.”

George didn’t respond immediately.

His face was unreadable, but his jaw cl

    Luna moved past George, her heart pounding, but she refused to let it show. She could feel his gaze on her back, a weight that pressed down heavily. The echo of her heels against the wooden floor filled the silence, and she quickened her pace, needing to escape the tension that swirled around them.As she rounded the corner into the kitchen, the scent of coffee lingered, juxtaposing the turmoil inside her. She poured herself a cup, willing the warmth to seep into her bones, to chase away the chill that settled in after last night. The bustling sounds of the house felt alien, too cheerful for the shadows lurking in her mind.“ Ma Luna!” Ava’s voice broke through her thoughts. The maid entered the kitchen, a bright smile plastered on her face as she arranged fresh flowers on the table. “You’re up early! How was your night?”Luna forced a smile, though it felt brittle on her lips. “Just fine, Ava. Thank you.”Ava’s gaze flickered with concern, but she busied herself with the flowers, giv

    The walls of the mansion were too thick.They held secrets like breath.Tight. Stale. Waiting to be exhaled.Luna sat on the edge of her bed, her hands pressed flat against the mattress as if grounding herself to something real. The silence wasn’t peace anymore, it was surveillance. Every creak of the old wood, every distant footstep down the polished hallways, felt like a question she wasn’t ready to answer.She had felt him outside her door hours ago.The pause in his breath.The weight of him George, just standing there like he was gathering pieces of himself.But he never knocked.He never asked.And somehow, that hurt more.Luna wouldn't deny the fact that having George around made her feel safe. And quietly, dangerously she was beginning to expect that safety. To need it.---The mansion was beautiful and modern in design, but built with the kind of quiet grandeur that didn’t beg for attention. Clean architectural lines, vast glass walls, and carefully curated elegance flowed th

  • My contracted wife   Chapter 52

    Absolutely. Here's your new chapter, carrying over the emotional weight, secrecy, and growing psychological tension between George and Luna. The tone is slow-burning, layered, and reflective of the unraveling façade.---Chapter Sixteen: The Quiet BetrayalThe garden was unusually still.Moonlight poured in long silver strokes across the stone pathway, cutting sharp lines between light and shadow. The air was scented with lavender and clipped roses, but beneath that sweetness, something darker lingered—unspoken truths, buried intentions.George stood just beyond the hedges, cloaked in shadows, and for the first time in a very long while, he didn’t know what to do.He wasn’t a man easily shaken. Not by market crashes, political scandals, or the vicious games of media warfare. But this—Luna, her voice, those words—had left a crack in his armor. A slow, splintering fault line he couldn’t ignore.> “This will be my last job.”That phrase wouldn’t stop echoing.And worse… she hadn’t sounde

    Chapter Six: Whispers of the ChosenThe night was quiet in the outer territories.The winds carried the scent of pine and dew, but beneath it lingered something else. Something ancient. Watching. Listening.Inside a modest, weathered home nestled deep within the woods, a low fire crackled in the hearth. Its glow cast flickering shadows across stone walls and worn furniture. Upstairs, the world slept. Or so it seemed.Downstairs, in the dimly lit kitchen, Freya’s adoptive parents stood facing each other, the silence between them thick with secrets.“She’s changing,” Amara whispered, wringing her hands, her gaze flickering toward the staircase. “Every night I see it in her eyes, the flashes of pain, the confusion. The bond is stirring. She knows something is wrong, even if she can’t name it.”Adrian, once known as Elias in his past life before they went into hiding stood at the window, his jaw clenched as he stared into the forest. “She can’t know yet,” he said at last. “The binding spe

    Chapter Sixteen: The Quiet Betrayal (Extended Version)George left the office after dusk, his presence still looming in the air long after he had shut the door. Nathan had offered to drive, but George refused with a clipped, “Not tonight.” The tone brooked no argument.He needed silence.Control.Space.The call from his father had rattled something in him not in the way fear did, but like an old scar suddenly aching again. “Control is an illusion, George. You’ve let it slip. First Emily. Now this Luna.”No name, no warmth, no curiosity. Just a cold accusation. A statement that felt more like a verdict.It wasn’t just the media disaster with Emily that bothered his father. It was the undercurrent something his father, with all his experience in manipulation, had sensed in Luna too.And that’s what disturbed George.Because deep down, he had started sensing it too.---The drive home was mechanical. Smooth roads. Quiet hum of the engine. George’s thoughts, however, were anything but c
