INICIAR SESIĂNI'm very sorry for the infrequent chapter updates!
As a student, studies have been so critical and plus...exams!!đđ Well I am very grateful for the constant reading and comments! Exams are done and dusted, and I am back with full energy, a lighter spirit and of course....my museđ Get ready for the upcoming scenesđ„, spicy 𫊠chapters, and yh....lots of interesting conflicts!đż I also want to use this opportunity to thank you all for your support and to say I LOVE YOU đ„čđ° Amy's POV°The woods grew darker as I ran deeper inside, the cool damp air was gentle against my skin but irritated my nose and made it hard to breathe. Maybe it was the fear I felt that wanted to choke me to deathâŠ.or the agony that tore its way through my heart.Why now?Why?!My life was starting to get better, or maybe that was what I thought. I had lived my past few years loving and hating one man, being betrayed like I didn't matter, and lost familyâŠ. I was cursed, and I didn't deserve to live, now I saw why my life had been hell all through.The Moon goddess hadn't spared me from the beginning, this was my fate and she had already decided it, and every time I tried escaping that fate, she'd lure me backâŠ.like a parent so desperate to dispose a child who had been a failure.Eli was quiet, his slow but steady breaths rested calmly against my chest, and I guessed he had probably dozed off.Maybe he too was scared to face whatever was here or whatever was about to come.My grip a
°Jeremy's POV°Amy got off the car, lifting Eli into her arms like she had already known this would happen.I tried not to think about it the way it sounded in my head.But how can you lie to your own eyes about what they're seeing? And to your ears about what they are hearing?My eyes rested on Marcus for a while, the grin on his face was so wide that the ends of his lips almost touched his ears.âIt's quite sad that you didn't notice a thing, Jeremy. I must say, despite your ruthlessness and careless attitude towards things and people , you are so empty in the head.â He stated, walking away from the car as he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket.âYou dare betray me?â I said to him, with a trace of disbelief in my voice.âOh I did more than that, brother. While you were so busy with the drama of life I had already started to map out your destruction, which is at this moment taking place.ââWhat are you talking about?â I moved closer to him .âI simply did what you couldn't do.
° Jeremy's POV°All I did was to grit my teeth in rage as I had witnessed Claire humiliate the woman I love.And the worst feeling was the fact that I did nothing to protect her or whatever.Funny enough how family and loved ones can make a man so weak and sacrificial.I hated her. I hated Claire more than anything in the world, and I had plenty of time to show that hatred.I wiped my lips with the back of my hand before lifting Amy into my arms, I gently placed her in the back seat while Eli looked with worry etched in his eyes.I signaled Marcus to get in quickly as I shut the door behind Amy.I walked up to Claire who still refused to get rid of the smile on her face.âYou're going to pay for this,â I swore.âIn bed, don't you think?â She giggled, as I shook my head in disbelief.âYou're a cheap slut who'd throw herself on any man.â I told her.âLook who's talking.â She laughed, âIf you learned how to keep your dick in check, maybe you wouldn't have met me and promised me love. Unl
°Amy's POV° "Ten minutes to give me what I want" She continued. "And what is that?" Jeremy asked. "I want you to marry me," she said. For a moment, I honestly thought I'd heard her wrong. The morning breeze moved gently through the trees around the driveway, but none of us seemed to notice it. Jeremy stared at Claire, his brows drawn together as though he was waiting for her to laugh and admit that she'd been joking. She didn't. Instead, Claire smiled. "This is insane," Jeremy scoffed. "No, Jeremy. Insane would be thinking I came here without knowing exactly what I wanted." She chuckled and shook her head. "Oh myâŠ" Her eyes moved briefly to me before returning to him. "You marry me, and I keep quiet. You walk away from this deal, and I tell the council everything I know." She glanced at Marcus, then back at me. "Everything." Jeremy's jaw tightened. His gaze shifted toward the car. Eli was sitting inside, completely unaware of what was happening. He had hi
°Amyâs POV°Jeremy was the first to get off the car, and I followed suit, Eli still remained intact with his seatbelt.The woman stepped out of the car, and the moment I saw her face, my stomach dropped.Claire?I had not seen her since before my marriage to Jeremy, but I knew that face too well. I looked at Jeremy, and the way he had gone still told me he was thinking the same thing I was thinking.Claire shut her car door and glanced at the luggage beside Marcus's Mercedes. Her eyes moved to the back seat where Eli was waiting, then slowly returned to Jeremy.A smirk tugged at her one corner of her lips."On the run?" She asked as Jeremy stepped away from me to face her."You don't have to do this." he told her.Claire walked toward us, sliding her hands into the pockets of her white furry coat."I told you I was going to come back for you. You're going to pay dearly for choosing that whore over me.â She scoffed, âOh, you thought my father let it slide after you broke the alliance
°Amyâs POV°The noise woke me up before the sun had properly risen.At first, I thought one of the maids had come into the room by mistake. I kept my eyes closed, listening to the soft sounds around meâthe opening and closing of drawers, the rustle of clothes, the occasional dull thump against the marble tiled floor. It took me a few seconds to realize that the sounds were coming from our bedroom.I turned under the covers and opened my eyes.Jeremy stood beside the wardrobe as I faced his back, he was still dressed in yesterday's clothes. One of my dresses hung over his arm while he leaned into the wardrobe, searching through the clothes as though he had done it a hundred times before as an opened suitcase sat on the bed, already half-filled.I watched him for a moment, trying to understand what I was seeing."What are you doing?" I asked.He turned at the sound of my voice, and for a second there was something almost guilty in his expression. It disappeared quickly, replaced by the
°Amyâs POV °The words dropped into the room like someone had turned off gravity.They didnât echo and they didnât need to. They just sat there, heavy and undeniable, while everyone tried to figure out where to put their faces.Claire blinked first.Once.Twice.Like maybe sheâd misheard him, like
Amy's POV.I smirked.Not because I was winning or because I felt powerful or any of that nonsense people like to attach meaning to. I smirked because Claire looked like sheâd rehearsed this moment in her head all night⊠and it still wasnât going the way she wanted.She stood there at the bottom of
°Amyâs POV°For a second, I couldnât move.Everything around me blurred â the cars, the chatter, the orange-pink sky. All I could think was, this canât be happening right here.Then another contraction came, not too sharp but strong enough to make my knees tremble. That snapped me out of it.âMiaâŠâ
°Jeremyâs POV°The drive home felt longer than usual. Maybe it was because my thoughts wouldnât shut up, or maybe because every turn reminded me of something I didnât want to think about.By the time I pulled into the driveway, the sky was dark. The house was glowing from inside â that warm, soft l
