The next day, Amara woke up later than usual, panic setting in the moment she glanced at the time. She rushed through her morning routine and bolted out of the house, barely managing to reach college just before the professor arrived. As she stepped into the classroom, her steps faltered.

Zander was already seated.

On her desk.

Zander looked up, as if sensing her presence.

Her body tensed, breath catching as her eyes locked with his for a brief moment. He sat there like he owned the space, back straight, one arm resting lazily over the desk. His eyes were on her, dark, calm and unreadable.

She immediately dropped her gaze, her throat tightening as the memory of his threats from yesterday twisted in her gut like a warning. Without thinking, she turned to find another seat. But just as she took a step away, the Professor's voice halted her.

“Amara,” The Professor called her out. “Go sit down. You’re already late, don’t waste more time.”

She hesitated, frozen in place as every pair o

    "I-I..." she stammered, shrinking back into the wall as if trying to melt into it. Her throat tightened, and the words died before they could escape, swallowed by the fear that gripped her entirely. Every inch of her screamed to vanish, to be anywhere but here.A muscle in Zayden's jaw ticked, his forehead taut with restrained fury, the air between them thick with tension."Why the fuck are you always around me?" Zander hissed, his voice low, strained, like a thread pulled too tight, ready to snap. His hands were still braced on either side of her against the wall, caging her in, but it wasn’t just the physical space he had cornered her into, it was emotional too, suffocating for her.She trembled, her back flat against the wall. Her wide eyes darted up to meet his, but she wished they hadn't, because what stared back at her wasn’t just anger. It was something darker and unstable.“I-I didn’t mean—” she whispered, voice barely audible.“Don’t.” He snapped before she could finish. “Don

    Amara gently stirred the vegetables simmering in the pan, her breakfast now, and inevitably her lunch later. Mornings were the only time she had to cook as once she got back from college, there was barely a moment to spare before heading to her part-time job at Aiden’s office. It was just past seven, and with most of her morning chores already done, she finally had a quiet moment to eat and gather herself before the long day ahead.Just as Amara closed the lid of the pan, her phone rang. She frowned, wondering who would be calling this early in the morning.Wiping her hands on the towel, she walked over to the couch and picked up her phone, only to see the name of the orphanage flashing on the screen. Her heart skipped a beat as she answered it immediately."Hello—""Amara!" Lucas's loud voice burst through the speaker, making her flinch. Her face tensed in alarm, heart racing with fear that something had happened."Lucas? What happened? Are you oka—""I’m so happy, Amara! The gifts y

  • Revenge, Regret And Redemption: Bound In Contract Marriage   Chapter 79

    Men are foolishly brave creatures.They confuse silence with surrender. Mistake absence for weakness. And when the devil disappears for a while, they start to believe he's no longer a threat. That he's turned soft. Distracted by fatherhood. Changed by marriage.But the devil doesn't change.Killian had only taken a pause from the mafia world, for Kiara, for his daughter who had become the center of his universe.He hadn't touched a gun or spilled blood in months. Hadn't reminded the world of the name that once made grown men piss their pants in boardrooms and alleyways alike. And that was all it took for the rats to crawl out of the cracks. They thought his silence meant submission. They mistook his distance for defeat. And in their arrogance, they dared to mess with him.They fucking dared to betray him.A shipment worth ten million was intercepted, diverted from its original path, and handed over to his rival. Rafael Martinez.An open declaration of war from that bastard. And Killia

    Life is unpredictable, it rarely unfolds the way we envision. If it did, Amara would be enjoying her college life right now, laughing between lectures, chasing deadlines, building a future she once dreamed of. Getting into this college had been everything to her. But now, it felt like nothing more than a burden. Somewhere along the way, her dreams had changed. Education no longer topped her list of priorities. Now, all she cared about was money. She needed it, desperately. Not for herself, but for Lucas. To adopt him, to secure his future, to give him the kind of life she once longed for. In him, she saw herself. The same spark. The same innocence. A bubbly little boy who still looked at the world with wide, hopeful eyes. For a moment, a small smile touched her lips just thinking about him. But it vanished just as quickly as it came. Because behind that smile was a truth she could never escape, Lucas had suffered because of her. And no matter how much she tried to make it rig

    Amara pursed her lips, frowning at Aiden as she crossed her arms. "I'm not doing that," she stated, her voice firm. "You will." His tone left no room for argument, his sharp gaze making it clear he wasn't interested in excuses. "This isn't part of my job!" "I'm the boss, Amara. I decide what your job includes," he countered, his expression unwavering. "And I want you there. 10 AM. No exceptions." "I never agreed to this." "Too bad." His voice was final. "I pay you to follow my instructions, and this is part of your work conditions." That was yesterday. Today, on Sunday, her only day off from both college and work, Amara found herself standing outside a therapist's office, staring at the door like it was some kind of trap. Not because she had chosen to be here. Not because she thought she needed help. But because Aiden ordered her to. Apparently, since she worked for him, that somehow made her mental health his responsibility. As if she were a problem that needed fix
