✦༺⚜︎☠︎⚜︎༻✦

The shower was already running, steam filling the massive bathroom as I stood there in my borrowed sleep shirt, suddenly very aware that I’d just agreed to get naked with a man who’d admitted to killing someone an hour ago.

“What’s going on in your head?” Kegan asked, his back to me as he stepped under the spray.

“You just told me you killed someone.”

“And you said you were worried about my bruises.” He turned to face me, water running down his chest, over the dark marks on his ribs. “So either you meant it, or you’re having second thoughts.”

I pulled the shirt over my head before I could lose my nerve.

His eyes darkened as he watched me undress, tracking every movement like he was memorizing it. When I was finally standing there in nothing, he gestured for me to join him.

The water was hot—almost too hot—but Kegan pulled me under the spray with him, his hands immediately going to my waist.

“Turn around,” he said quietly.

I did, and felt his han

I wrote the previous chapter with sleepy eyes, lol. I’ll take my time to edit it later. Question of the day: Do you like the pacing so far? 🤔 Xoxo.💋

I think the pacing is good. Your not rushing though it, but your also not dragging it out. I think it feels authentic.

  • Oops! I Mistakenly Kidnapped The Mafia Don’s Heir   Chapter 98~ Errand Boy

    Chapter 98Estelle✦༺⚜︎☠︎⚜︎༻✦Just as Reid reached the door, Kegan chuckled. “There goes the errand boy.”Reid stopped, turned with a furious glare and walked back to Kegan. “That’s it. I think you should leave now.”“Is that the only word in your vocabulary?” Kegan shook his head, unimpressed. “You should listen to your boss and leave.” “How dare you.” Reid’s voice shook. “How dare you walk in here—”“There he goes repeating the same thing again.” Kegan rolled his eyes. “I guess I’ll have to stoop to your level and remind you what I said earlier. Her boyfriend is back.”Something inside me snapped.“Her boyfriend?” I stepped away from both of them, my voice rising. “Her BOYFRIEND? Are you out of your goddamn mind?”Every eye turned toward us.I didn’t care.“You disappeared from my life for two months, Kegan. Two. Months.” My voice broke. “You walked away, left me—” I was so mad I was literally shaking. “Oh, now you have the audacity to walk in here like some kind of conquering hero

    Chapter 97Estelle✦༺⚜︎☠︎⚜︎༻✦Reid’s hand tightened on my back. “I think you should leave.”“I don’t think I will.” Kegan took a sip of champagne, his eyes glittering with something dangerous and amused. “You see, I have a vested interest in this establishment. And as someone who helped make it possible, I think I’m entitled to stay and enjoy the celebration.” “How dare you.” Reid exploded. “How dare you walk in here…”“Shhh,” Kegan pressed two lips over Reid’s mouth like he was shushing an annoying kid. “You don’t want to do that with me.” He looked Reid over like he was a piece of death stuck under his shoe, “I belong with her. You, on the other hand, are the outcast here. You should leave now. Her boyfriend is back.”I was well aware that the crowd was watching, some even recording. “Kegan, stop this madness. You gave me a gift I never asked for,” I said, my voice shaking with anger and near tears. “You never asked for it back. You never—”“A gift,” he interrupted. “Yes, that’s ex

    Chapter 96Estelle✦༺⚜︎☠︎⚜︎༻✦We’d sold out of three designs in the first week. The Vogue feature had gone live yesterday, and my Instagram had gained fifteen thousand followers overnight. Emma had called me “London’s most exciting new voice in sustainable luxury,” which felt both incredible and terrifying in equal measure.Tonight was the official celebration—an evening event for investors, press, influencers, and a handful of people, thanks to Reid’s endless connections and recommendations.“You need to stop touching your hair,” Millie said, slapping my hand away from my head for the third time in ten minutes. “Or you’ll ruin my handwork. Now breathe before you pass out and ruin your very expensive dress.”I groaned, then rolled my eyes in exasperation. The dress was expensive—one of my own designs, a deep beige silk that hugged every curve and made me feel like the woman I’d been pretending to be for the past two months. Confident. Successful. Absolutely not dying inside over a m

    Chapter 95Estelle✦༺⚜︎☠︎⚜︎༻✦Melissa was stunning as always. That was my first thought when I walked into the café and saw her sitting by the window. Gorgeous as usual, from the auburn hair, pretty face, designer clothes worn with effortless grace, to that sexy figure that never ceased to faze me.I swallowed the sting of jealousy that rose from my throat. “Estelle!” She stood, smiling warmly. “It’s so lovely to see you.”I smiled awkwardly, half expecting a gun in my face.We ordered coffee and settled into what should have been an awkward meeting between enemies but somehow… wasn’t.We talked for two hours. Mostly about my branding and designs and how she’d like a couple of pieces from the boutique. Not once did she mention Sicily or her family or anything that would connect her to Kegan.It was almost unsettling how normal it felt.“I have to ask,” I finally said, unable to help myself. “Why are you really here? We don't like each other very much. This is incredibly generous

    Chapter 94Estelle✦༺⚜︎☠︎⚜︎༻✦The boutique opening was officially in three days, and I was absolutely losing my mind.Not in the excited, butterflies-in-stomach way I’d imagined. More in the I-haven’t-slept-in-forty-eight-hours-and-I’m-pretty-sure-I-just-put-my-keys-in-the-refrigerator way.“You need to eat something,” Reid said, appearing with a sandwich I hadn’t asked for.“I need to finish the window display.”“You finished it an hour ago. Then you took it apart and started over. Twice.” He set the sandwich on the counter. “Estelle, you’re over stressing.”“God forbid a girl wants perfection on her big day.”“You’re having a breakdown.” He said it gently, without judgment. “Which is completely understandable given the circumstances, but you still need to eat.”Reid had been a godsend these past weeks. Patient when I was impossible, helpful when I was drowning, present without being pushy. He’d connected me with more investors, smoothed over issues with suppliers, even helped me wal
