LOGINChandria’s POVIt had been such a long time since I last saw his face.“Dad... I can’t believe that you’re actually here,” he murmured under his breath.Standing right in front of us was Daniel’s father. I wasn’t sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me, but he looked so much older than I remembered.His hair had thinned out, and deep lines were carved into his face. Maybe my broken memory was making time jump around again, or maybe the hard years had just caught up to him.I tried to shake the confusing thoughts out of my head and took a slow step forward to greet him.He hadn’t come alone. He was surrounded by a massive team of armed guards, personal drivers, and his head butler. Walking right beside him was his wife, Daniel’s mother.Agatha Collins.My heart beat nervously against my ribs. From what I could recall from my scattered memories, Daniel’s parents had never accepted me, nor had they taken the time to get to know who I was.Daniel stepped past me to meet his parents. He
Chandria’s POVI hugged myself tightly as my head started pounding so hard it felt like it would explode. A sharp, white-hot pain throbbed directly behind my eyes, making me wince.Who is this guy? Why do I keep remembering his face? Why do I keep shouting his name?That name felt so familiar, yet so out of reach.Aiden. The letters bounced around the empty spaces of my mind, but they didn’t attach to anything real.Even though I felt like I didn’t know him at all, my soul seemed to recognize him.It was a terrifying feeling.What really happened to me before I woke up in that hospital bed?Suddenly, the mattress shifted.Daniel slowly crawled across the bed toward me. He didn’t look angry anymore; instead, his face was filled with worry. He wrapped his strong arms around my shivering shoulders and pulled me against his bare chest, trying to calm me down.“Hey, shh, shh,” he whispered softly, rubbing my back in small circles. “Are you okay?”“No,” I told him, my voice cracking as a s
Chandria’s POV“Ohhh!”I was totally lost in the feeling of what he was doing to me. The heat from his mouth was so hot against my nipple, and it was making me incredibly wet down there.I couldn’t help it.My hands moved on their own, and I grabbed a handful of his hair, pulling him closer as I arched my back up off the bed. A loud moan broke out of my chest, and I screamed his name into the room.“Daniel, please…”My voice sounded thick, slurry, and full of a passion I couldn’t control. While he was sucking on one side, his other hand was tightly massaging my other breast. The feeling was completely crazy. It was making me go wild, making me lose my mind.I looked down through my blurry vision and saw his eyes. He never looked away from me. Even while he was slurping, lapping, and licking the tip of my nipple until it went completely hard, his gaze stayed locked right on my face.“Fuck. I love this,” he whispered against my wet skin.His voice was so deep and sexy. You could easily
Chandria’s POVI stared at Daniel, completely caught off guard by the sudden intensity in his voice.“Daniel... I don’t know about this,” I stammered, pulling back slightly. “This is all too much. I mean, you know I want to marry you, and I absolutely want to build a family with you eventually, but isn’t this a little bit too fast?”“Chandria, honey.” He stepped closer, cutting off the space between us, and gently caressed the side of my face with his thumb. His palm felt warm against my skin, but it didn’t ease the sudden knot tightening in my stomach.“No one is around us,” he murmured, his voice dropping to a low, persuasive hum. “Your family is completely inside the mansion. And the guards... I specifically told them to stop patrolling this sector of the grounds because I wanted us to have uninterrupted time together here. If you’re comfortable, we can just do it right here. It will be quick. But if you’re not, we can go inside to a room and make love there.”He leaned down, his f
Chandria’s POVThey all stared at me as if I had suddenly grown five heads.They looked at me like they couldn’t possibly believe what had just slipped from my own mouth—especially Daniel.I blinked in surprise, shifting uncomfortably against the pillows. “Why are you all looking at me like that?” I asked, my voice sounding small and raspy in the quiet room.None of them answered right away. I pulled my knees slightly closer to my chest, my mind drifting back to the fragmented dream that had woken me up. The memory of it was still incredibly vivid. I could still see the man’s face, though his features were blurred around the edges. He had been looking at me, smiling with a warmth that felt like a physical blanket.I remembered his voice perfectly. It was a promise, heavy and deep.“I will protect you, Chandria. Even if it’s the last thing I can do. Even if it’s my last breath.”I could still feel the sheer conviction in his tone, the absolute genuineness of his words. It felt like he
Aiden’s POVVince and I squared off in the crumbling hallway, both of us drawing in ragged, desperate gasps of smoke-choked air.I could see the determination written across his face. There was no negotiation left to be had. No terms to be made. Neither of us was walking away from this unless the other was dead.“You will pay for everything!” Vince screamed, his voice cracking under the strain of his fury.He lunged forward, abandoning all caution as he leveled his firearm straight at my chest.I forced my weight onto my good leg, trying to dodge out of his line of fire, but my broken ankle buckled violently beneath me. My body was screaming in agony.“Shit!”A split second later, a deafening crack shattered the air. Vince pulled the trigger.A white-hot streak of pain tore across my shoulder as the bullet grazed my skin. Fuck!The impact nearly sent me crashing to the floor, but I caught my balance at the last second, bracing my hand against the trembling wall. Ignoring the blood soa
Aiden’s POVA short time ago…“What will you do with her, Lord Serpent?” my butler asked carefully.He stood in front of me, hands behind his back, eyes lowered in respect.I didn’t answer right away.Instead, I looked at him, then out the window of my office, trying to think.Chandria…our unexpect
Daniel’s POV“Daniel, honey! Wait up!”Her voice followed me as I walked down the hallway, my steps heavy against the marble floor.“In my study room,” I muttered without looking back.“Please, come on, talk to me. Don’t tell me you’re still affected by her—by what you saw. We all know it’s fake. Sh
Chandria’s POV“Cancel my business preparations! I’ll stay here, but I want regular status reports. We were attacked.” Aiden ordered firmly.We had just landed back at his mansion. This time, we used his helicopter. He said it was too dangerous to travel by car; there was a chance those men would c
Aiden’s POVThe moment I saw who was calling, something inside me twisted.As much as I wanted to ignore it, I knew I couldn’t. Not this one.I wasn’t going to take that call in front of Chandria.“Excuse me,” I muttered, forcing my tone to stay calm.I turned my back on them and walked out of the
