Amy Stone – Mrs. Woods

Kael’s hand stays firmly at the small of my back as he guides me into his home, his touch steady, grounding, protective.

The house takes my breath away.

It’s all sharp edges and bold design—dark marble floors, floor-to-ceiling windows with the city lights blazing below. Everything screams power and control. Him.

But then my eyes land on a photo sitting on the mantel.

A beautiful woman, smiling so radiantly it almost hurts to look at her.

My chest tightens. I don’t have to ask who she is. Kael’s late wife.

I drag my gaze away, wrapping his robe tighter around me as if that will hold my heart together.

“This is your home now too,” Kael says softly, his thumb brushing my arm. For a man feared by many, his voice is unexpectedly gentle with me. “I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere.”

I nod quickly, unable to trust my voice.

The moment he disappears down the hall, a different kind of heat fills the room.

Clide.

He leans casually against the doorframe, hands in his po

    Amy StoneI wake up from my slumber, Kael's arm draped on my tummy. I gaze at his beautiful features—oh gosh, he's more handsome when he's sleeping. For a second, I forget this marriage is nothing but a mission.I slide from the bed, making sure I don't wake him up. I wear my robe and head to the kitchen, butterflies flapping in my tummy.Amy, this is a bad idea. Breakfast for him? This is so unlike you…I scold myself for a second before I slip into the kitchen, the wide kitchen island staring right at me.The house help, whose name I read on the tag—"Genevieve"—bows lightly. “Your highness…” she says, and I silence her. This whole royalty title spreads like wildfire."I'll make Mr. Woods' breakfast today. You can have some rest." I pick a clean pan and put it on the stove.She hesitates and tries to stop me. “No, the master wouldn't allow me.”“I insist,” I smile, and she simply gives up and nods.As she steps out.My body shivers when my mind trails back to last night. My core is

    Amy Stone – Mrs. WoodsKael’s hands are on me before I can even think,Clide scoffs as Kael leads me to the bedroom .He is pulling me flush against him. His hold is hard and claiming at the same time. "Kael," I stammer, my body trembling at his touch.His lips brush mine in a teasing, in a demanding kiss, with his teeth grazing lightly, and I gasp.My fingers tangling in his hair as my core tightens beneath the thin fabric of my panties. The heat between us is instant, electric, a current that sparks through every nerve.I don't even take time to register how fast he has moved my body against his.“You’re shaking,” he murmurs against my lips, voice low and rough. “Relax. You’re mine.”A shiver runs through me. My fingers slide over the hard swell of his chest, and I feel him respond immediately, his body taut beneath my touch. The tension between us coils tight, thick, dangerous, and I can’t look away.Kael leans down, lips grazing my jaw, teeth teasing the skin. “God, you smell li

    Amy Stone – Mrs. WoodsThe knock at the door is sharp, loud, almost impatient.Kael’s head snaps up from the counter where he’s plating food, his entire body going still.“Stay here,” he says, his voice clipped, dangerous.My stomach twists. “Kael, who would—”Another knock, harder this time.Kael strides to the door, yanking it open with a single motion. My breath catches in my throat when I see him.Stupid Chad.He’s dressed in his usual smug arrogance—tailored suit, silk tie, perfectly styled hair. But there’s something different tonight. His eyes gleam with false concern, and his lips curl into a mockery of a sympathetic smile.“Amy. Dad." His voice drips with fake warmth. “I heard about the… unfortunate incident at the wedding. Explosives, was it? I rushed over the moment I got the news. I was so… worried.”I tighten my grip on the robe around me, taking a small step back. My pulse pounds in my ears. Worried?He caused the explosion, and now he’s standing here acting like a sav

    Amy Stone (Mrs Woods)My chest burns as smoke fills my lungs. I cough and gasp, clinging to Kael’s shirt as he charges through the wreckage. His grip on me is unbreakable, his body like a shield against falling debris.“Hold on to me, Amy,” he says, his voice rough but steady.I nod, burying my face in his neck as the sound of panicked guests and crackling flames fills the air. My ears still ring from the explosions, but I focus on his heartbeat.He pushes past a group of crying women and shoves open the large double doors with his shoulder. The cool night air rushes over me and I take a deep, shaky breath.Outside, guests scatter across the lawn. Some are screaming, others are on their knees, crying or calling loved ones.Kael doesn’t stop moving until we reach a safe distance. He sets me down gently but keeps an arm around me, his eyes scanning me up and down for injuries.“Are you hurt?” he asks, cupping my face.I shake my head quickly, though my whole body trembles. “No… just sha

    “Oh my God, she seems to be an heiress, but actually she is a thief,” a blonde girl says, lifting her glass of wine with a smug little smirk, her words loud enough for half the hall to hear. There’s a look of distaste on her face as though simply being in the same room as me offends her.A few gasps ripple through the crowd and the whispers begin spreading like wildfire. My stomach twists but I straighten my shoulders and keep my head high.“Kael, I would never steal,” I murmur under my breath, clutching his hand lightly.Before I can fully prepare myself for his reaction, Kael wraps his much larger hand firmly over mine. The warmth of his grip sends a strange wave of calm through me, my heart leaping just a little. Chad would never have done this for me, not in front of so many people. He always avoided conflict, always found a way to make me feel small. But Kael, his father, doesn’t hesitate for even a second to stand beside me.The chaos grows louder as Mrs Vermont’s sharp voice cu
