LOGINElena’s POV“Tell me,” Alexander whispers, pressing his forehead against mine. “Tell me that I have one chance. Just one chance. And I will prove to you that I’m worthy. That you can love me. That you can trust me. That all of this would be worth it. Just take a chance on me.”I look him in the eyes and I realize….I will never find a man like this again.I went into this not wanting another relationship. Swearing off men. Wanting to forget everything bad that happened.But I came out of it with him, someone who’s not afraid to claim me and my children as his own. How many men would do the same? He could have any woman he wanted and yet he’s choosing me. He’s always actively choosing me, even though sometimes I don’t do the same.I will never get this lucky again.Slowly, I nod.“I like you,” I whisper. “I really do. I think given some time I really will feel the same for you. Alexander… is that enough?”Alexander breaks into a smile.“More than enough.”With that, he goes around me a
Third Person POVHe wouldn't dream of it. His tempo increased, each thrust pushing them both closer to the edge. The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room, mingling with their shared breaths, gasps, and cries. He felt her convulse around him, her orgasm ripping through her like a tsunami.Her body clenched, a desperate cry tearing from her throat, and he followed, his own climax hitting him like a freight train. He spilled into her womb with a guttural groan, his hips stuttering, entirely at the mercy of the overwhelming pleasure.They lay there, tangled and panting, trying to catch their breath.Slowly, Benjamin pulled out, rolling off her and collapsing onto the bed beside her, his heart thumping like it had just run a marathon.She turned to him, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. She snuggled closer, draping an arm across his chest and nuzzling into the crook of his neck. Benjamin couldn't help but grin, basking in the afterglow of their passionate encounter.But
Third Person POVBenjamin felt another jolt of arousal at her boldness. God, this woman must be a real freak in the sack.And this is what Tristan keeps wasting?He must be more stupid than he thought.He did try his best to control himself around this woman. He tried so hard to prevent his feelings of lust from growing faster when he met her.But then, she came to him with a proposition and that just changed everything.He fucked his wife last night because he was desperate, because he thought he would never get to have Mira.Now she’s here, and he can’t get enough. He won’t stop, not for anything. It excites him to no end that he can tell that what she’s feeling is also real and not just something that would please him.“If you were mine, I would keep you pregnant all the time,” Benjamin whispered. “I don’t know why you can’t just leave Tristan. He’s never been good enough for you.”She said nothing about that. She’s too far up in her own lust that right now, none of his thoughts ma
Third Person POVIt’s time.Mira is panicking now.It’s so bad that she can’t feel her body.After the talk with Tristan last night, she couldn’t sleep. She honestly doesn’t know how she kept it all together. She legitimately already wanted to drown herself in that bathtub when she heard the news that he booked an appointment for her.What the fuck is she going to show the doctor? What the hell is she supposed to say when they find that her belly is empty?It’s just five in the morning. Tristan is still sleeping.She goes out of the house and calls Benjamin.He’s her only hope.“Come on, pick up,” she says under her breath. “Come on, you stupid fucker.”She should be mad at him for what he did. She should be yelling at his face right now for snitching on her parents. But honestly, at least she wasn’t involved in that, right? Not to Tristan’s eyes at least. With all things considered she came out of that unharmed. Maybe Tristan was bound to find out one way or another.“Fucking come on
Elena’s POVIt’s a new day at the office, but it feels like the remnants of yesterday’s events lingered here.Alexander is late. For the first time in his life, everyone is already present before he arrived.He usually says good morning to everyone, with a bottle in his hand that contains some kind of protein shake. But now, he doesn’t speak to anyone as he passes. He has sunglasses on even indoors, and the only thing in his hand is a cup of steaming coffee blacker than his suit.“Good morning, sir,” India greets him, and he just nods.I’m stuck in the office opposite his. I didn’t want to just stay in his office and surprise him with my presence, especially since he made it pretty clear that he didn’t want me to be around yesterday. I just watch him from my window, debating whether or not to approach.But that whole thing is giving me mixed signals.If I approach and he doesn’t want me there, it’s going to be embarrassing. But if I don’t and he turns out to be waiting for me, then it
Tristan’s POVIn the end, I decided not to come home to my apartment and just go home to my house.The lights are already off when I arrive. The maids have all retired to their rooms. The house is quiet. I can heat Ethan snoring in his room when I pass by.The only room left alive is our bedroom.The water is running. The door to the bathroom is open. I can’t help but peek in and check on Mira.She doesn’t look up even as she hears my footsteps. Maybe she doesn’t even hear me. I don’t know. All I know is that she’s sitting at the edge of the tub, filling it with water that filled the walls with a light steam. Her face is still set with makeup, except her eyes. Black streaks of mascara are already smeared on her cheeks. Her nose is blotchy and she keeps wiping her face with the back of her hand.“Make sure she has a safe pregnancy.”Elena’s words echo in my mind.I can’t believe that she still looks out for her sister. After everything that happened, other people just won’t care. They
Elena’s POV“Alexander!”My scream echoes in my ringing ears. Time slows down, almost sputtering to a halt, and as I rush towards Alexander, it feels as though my limbs are traveling through amber. Slugging. Unable to reach him in time.Grace gasps. I know she didn’t mean to do it. She’s out for me
Elena’s POVChaos starts to ensue, erupting around me like a bunch of ripe volcanoes.Liam shoves Tristan. Sophie tries to stop him, yelling, “He didn’t mean it, he didn’t mean it!”But none of that is enough. I can’t get up. Penny is the only one helping me, and Alexander is busy trying to take Li
Elena’s POVIt’s my first day working with Van Asten.Or at least, it’s the only day I can try to convince Alexander to rework the deal and save Grace.The Van Asten office is huge, and they have a royal blue theme going on. Sometimes it’s an accent wall. Sometimes it’s the furniture. Sometimes it’
Tristan’s POVI came to Elena’s house fully prepared to confront her about what she did to our kids, about the two miscarriages she had that she felt the need not to tell me about. I’ve been angry and hurt and distraught. I was ready to fight. I didn’t care about her threat of being able to take me
