Maya’s POV

I blinked my eyes open, breath hitching in my throat.

“Are you intentionally ignoring me?” My father’s voice sliced through the haze. Cold. Authoritative. Familiar in the worst kind of way.

I blinked, vision adjusting to the dim room, and stared at him like he’d grown a second head.

How the hell did I get here?

My knees ached. I looked down and realized I was kneeling on the plush rug of the family living room, no less. Every face turned toward me like a jury, stone-cold and hungry for blood. Elena was curled in her mother’s arms on the settee, sobbing like she’d lost everything.

“She seduced himband forced him to sleep with her!” she shrieked, rage contorting her features. “She knew I loved him. We were supposed to get married this weekend!”

A throw pillow sailed through the air and bounced off my shoulder. A weak shot compared to the blow her words delivered.

Wait… wait a damn minute. I know this scene. I’ve lived this scene.

“How dare you do that to your sister?” her mot

  • Still His Wife. Never Again His Fool   Chapter Eight

    Soren's POVViolent coughs tore through my chests. My eyes snapped open against my will, then immediately clamped shut as merciless fluorescent light drove spikes of agony straight into my skull. The brightness was like torture, each photon a needle piercing through to my brain.Then I heard it. That voice.That gravelly, unmistakable rumble that made my stomach plummet into a free fall. Mr. Jake Smith's throaty voice cut through the fog clouding my mind, and despite the searing pain, I forced my burning eyes open."Are you finally awake?""Is this heaven?" The words escaped before I could cage them. I'd never been religious, never swallowed the Christian fairy tales about pearly gates and eternal bliss. But if Mr. Smith was standing there. Breathing. Talking. Alive. Then maybe the afterlife is real. But that logic crumbled instantly. How could someone like me end up in paradise? I'd always assumed I'd wake up screaming in flames ten times hotter than the fire that killed me, my voice

    Soren’s POVTraffic was its usual mess today. I glanced at my wristwatch. We have barely thirty minutes to get to the company before the meeting starts.I’ve always pointed to my workers that punctuality is the key and have taken it upon myself to show them an example.“Frank, can’t we go any faster?” Frank glanced at me through the rearview mirror as I readjusted my tie. “I’m sorry, I am already driving at over hundred and twenty miles per hour. Driving any further will be breaking a traffic rule. I groaned knowing that he would never break a traffic rule.I glanced at my watch again. Twenty-eight minutes more and I'm getting anxious. This deal could make my company hit the billion dollar line and I can't afford to be late and miss it because of “traffic”.I was about to let Frank know that I wasn't paying him for his principles when something caught my eye. It was an accident. It was obvious that the car had been knocked off by a hit and run driver.“Stop the car.” Frank stepped o

    Aiden's POV“I'm sure our engagement announcement is going to top the charts for months. Everyone is talking about how good we look together. I don't know why we waited for so long to do this.” Elena kept talking. My head was banging hard and I wished she would keep quiet for a second.“That's because you were angry.”“Ah! That's right and I'm glad I forgave you.” She said and moved to kiss me. I don't know why but it suddenly felt weird to me and I turned my face slightly making the kiss land on my cheeks. The smile on her face faltered.“James will drive you home.” I told her as we approached my car.“But you said…”“I'm sorry. Today's been a rough day. We will see tomorrow. I’ll ask my secretary to deliver the new necklace I bought for you tomorrow.” I placed a kiss on her forehead and gave instructions to James, my personal chauffeur.Maybe, if I drive faster I might meet her before she leaves even though it was in my best interest not to. I don't know why but I felt like I hurt h

    Maya’s POVWhen I opened them, Elena was standing at my bedside with a lighter in her hand. “What… What the hell is going on?” My voice cracked. The metal cuffs bit into my wrists as I thrashed, chained like an animal. “Elena? What are you doing here?”She didn’t answer. Not right away. They just exchanged a look. And then, she started laughing. Soft at first. Then full, throat-deep cackles.“One thing I’ve always loved and absolutely hated about you,” Elena said, circling the bed slowly like a predator playing with her food, “is how incredibly easy you are to manipulate.”She stopped at my side, tilted her head, and leaned in with mock sympathy. “Oh my God, you look so pretty today,” she crooned, placing her jaw in her hands like a child admiring a doll. “You work so hard. And honestly? It’s Mr. Kensington’s fault for not seeing your value. You’re the soul of this company. Irreplaceable.” tears streamed from my eyes as I remembered those exact words that were spoken to me by the int

  • Still His Wife. Never Again His Fool   Chapter Three

    Maya's POV As I slowly opened my eyes, the bright fluorescent lights above my bed pierced through my brain like a thousand knives. I winced and raised a hand to shield my face. But as I did, a sharp pain shot through my head, making me gasp.Where am I? The last thing I remembered was...was...nothing. My memories seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember anything. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back onto the pillow. I groaned.A hospital bed. I was in a hospital bed. But why? I looked around the room, taking in the beeping machines, the sterile smell, and the faint sound of murmured conversations outside her door.A faint memory stirred in the back of my mind. A car accident? Was I in a car accident? I tried to recall more, but my memories remained frustratingly out of reach.Just then, a gentle voice spoke from beside my bed. "Hey, welcome back. My name is Nurse Thompson. Can you tell me your name?”I
