MAYA.
I didn’t think I’d feel overwhelmed, but I did. When he pushed the door open, his massive frame cast a long shadow across the floor. Seeing his face again, even after fourteen years, reignited the hatred that had blossomed the day he destroyed my life. “Don’t talk, open your legs,” he ordered, his voice soft yet commanding, as he fumbled with his belt. I stood up and removed the robe. “If you carry my child, it will only be about the baby,” he continued, his tone flat, detached. “You’ll have your own chamber. Don’t expect anything from me except being well cared for. You’ll only be my breeder.” His breathe, stale, consumed the entire room. I hummed, trying to suppress the surge of anger rising within me. “Let me help you with that.” By now, I was completely naked, and his gaze met my body with nothing—no lust, no interest. Nothing. I closed the distance between us and dropped to my knees in front of him. “What…” He started, but I didn’t give him the chance to finish. Without hesitation, I shoved my hand into his jeans and yanked out his dick. I’d never seen one so big. My lips brushed against his skin, and his trousers fell to the floor with a soft rustle. Slowly, I ran my lips along his length, unable to fit it fully in my palm. I used both hands to grip him, but still, there was no reaction from him. Without wasting a moment, I took him in my mouth, my throat constricting as I gagged. He didn’t even flinch. I pushed deeper, trying to elicit some kind of reaction from him, but there was nothing. No moan, no groan—just silence. I squeezed his balls, hoping for some kind of sound, but nothing came. Bastard. My ego stung, but I didn’t care. I was here to fuck him. That was all. “Stop,” he ordered, his hand sliding to my throat, not squeezing, just resting there. He used it to guide me to my feet, then without another word, he led me to the bed. He turned me toward the silk sheets, then pushed me onto the frame. His heat pressed into my back, his breath hot and suffocating. “You’re going to have all my babies,” he whispered, his breath against my skin making it hard to breathe. “That’s all.” I hated being turned over, hated giving up control. I always liked to be on top, to dominate. But now, I was on my knees, bent over, as he took control of my body. It felt like a cruel reminder of my past—how I was treated, how I was always the one beneath. His hands gripped my waist, and without hesitation, he thrust inside me. I grunted, my fingers digging into the bed sheets as he buried himself deep. It wasn’t gentle—he didn’t care about my comfort. He shoved his way in with one long, brutal stroke. I cried out, the sting mixing with the familiar feeling of being used. He grabbed my hair, pulling my head back as he thrust harder, faster, no mercy. No breaks. His movements were relentless, and it was the first time in years that anyone had fucked me like this. I had always been the one in control, always the one who made them beg. But now, it was him doing the taking. I tried to hold back my cries, but it was impossible. He filled every inch of me, his cock moving inside me with brutal force. The only sounds in the room were the slaps of skin and my gasps for air. He didn’t make a sound. Not a single grunt or groan. He just kept going, like I was nothing. Each stroke felt like a slap to my ego, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Finally, he came inside me. No grunt, no cry of pleasure. Just the warmth of his release, spreading within me, cold and indifferent. It was nothing compared to the satisfaction I felt at having completed what I came here to do. It was torture, but the end… the end was worth it. I collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, while he muttered from behind me, “Nothing but sex will be between us. The maids will take care of you. You’ll have the title of Luna once you conceive. Nothing more, nothing less.” With that, he turned and walked away. My body felt sore, my legs trembling as I slowly sat on the edge of the bed. Despite the pain, a smile spread across my face. I had done it. I had come here for one thing, and I had achieved it. Luna? I scoffed. I didn’t need that title. What I wanted was for him to sob, for him to feel the emptiness of not having an heir. That would be my revenge—watching him fail. Watching him crumble because of me. And my son? He would grow to hate his father. He would be the one to kill him. That would be my real triumph. I cleaned myself up, groaning as I made my way to the bathroom. His dick had been huge, and he rammed into me without mercy. Heartless man. When I finished in the bathroom, I went to the closet the maid had mentioned. I skimmed through the clothes, looking for something to wear. I had to leave soon—before the real woman arrived. It would take longer for Jerald to explain why the portion was missing. He wouldn’t survive the explanation, not with Leonardo’s merciless ways. I dressed quickly, grabbing some of the gold from the drawer. I’d need it to survive once I left this place. Carefully, I made my way out of the room. There were guards posted outside, which meant escaping wouldn’t be easy. But I had to try. I swallowed, calculating my options. The window was a possible escape route, but the pack house was four stories tall. Jumping down would be risky, but I’d make it work. I hadn’t thought this through, but I had to move fast. Suddenly, the guards started to fall—one by one which made me gasp. That wasn’t all. A figure dressed in black appeared in front of me, their face covered. “Come on, I’ll help you out!” Their voice sounded neutral making it hard to recognise if it was a man or woman. Before I could protest or demand an explanation, they grapped my arm and began to run with me, guiding me through an underground exit. What the hell?! Who was this person, and why were they helping me?MAYAI knew her.The vision, it was so familiar, it ran through my body like ice.I did this to her.I was the one who hurt her.Why… why was I seeing this?Tears streamed down both sides of my face.I opened my eyes and saw her staring at me, confused, surprised by my reaction.I took a step back.She kept looking at me, those ombre eyes locked on mine, still stunned.“Are you okay?” she asked.I turned away, wiping my tears.This was all my fault. The vision… it had been so real. I did that to her.I… I slept with her husband.The confession in my head felt like acid—burning through every part of me.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, the tears refusing to stop.“I’m really, really sorry.” I looked her in the eyes, and she raised her brows, trying to understand what I meant.How could I tell her that her husband had paid me—for years—to sleep with him?That I was the reason their bond had been damaged?At that moment, the children started crying.I rushed to them and found Jenna’s violet ey
LEONARDO.I found her.The slut.The one who ran with my baby.It was her.A part of me knew it wasn’t the time for her to bear the children but she had them. She had some explaining to do.I hardly saw her face, but I noticed the resemblance. I saw the side of her face. That was why the picture was so damn familiar. She was going to come with me today and I was going to have my children with me. All of this would happen today! I just needed her to explain to me why she was trying to find another father for my kids! I called Jethro through the mindlink instantly.“Where are you?” I asked, my voice hard and impatient.“Out. Why?” he replied.“I need you right now. I found the slut.” Some sort of excitement, twisted and burning, filled me up.Now I was ready to meet her.As I spoke to Jethro through the mindlink, I was typing her the location where we would meet.‘What time do you think is okay?’ I asked her.“How did you find her?” Jethro asked.I couldn’t tell him I had been on a da
MAYAStella had taken over my phone while I focused on cooking. She was always better with words—at least the charming ones that kept men glued. She flirted, laughed, and passed the phone back to me when it was time to get serious. It was part of our process.That was how I met Ardo.He was almost a regular man.He always had the right words to say. The kind that didn’t just catch your attention but held it like a gentle embrace. Words that made me feel seen, appreciated. He was calm, patient—almost too perfect. Every conversation left me smiling, even when I didn’t mean to.But I wasn’t ready to fall in love. That part of me had died the day Alpha Leonardo ruined my life. Love had no place in my world anymore. Only vengeance.Still, Ardo’s role was clear. I needed a man—someone the world would believe was the father of my children. It was part of my plan. When the time came for me to step into Leonardo’s place and work for him, I couldn’t let him suspect the truth. The children could
LEONARDOI couldn’t take it.That lady blocking me—I couldn’t take it.Shall I call it pride or ego? I wasn’t sure, but I couldn’t let it slide. I had to pay her back. I had to snatch my power back from her.She didn’t know it was me, yet it didn’t make a difference.I tried to shake it off my mind several times, but I just couldn’t help it. I walked back to my room and grabbed the laptop.I opened another account and used a different name.This time, I was going to use artificial intelligence to help me with the right words since I was good at it.It was the only way I could get her.Yes, I was going to message the Maya that blocked me.I would be the perfect gentleman—and then I would ghost her after some days. That way, I could take back my power.I didn’t know why, but I felt a rush of energy.The kind a little child feels when they are given a new toy.Yes, I felt that. Which was weird.It was so weird, I shrugged.A knock came on the door, taking my attention for a few seconds.
LEONARDO “Perhaps you could adopt a child. I mean why not?” Nina’s voice sounded in my head again. I couldn’t take her little voice out of my mind. She had said those words so casually the last time I visited the orphanage. It stuck. And then I saw this ad. It said I could connect with anyone I wanted—even single mothers. It didn’t sit right with me. Hell, I hated it. But I had no choice. I needed an heir to take over the way I had from my father. It was tradition. Legacy. Eventually, after searching endlessly, I found a woman who had a newborn. Actually—twins. A boy and a girl. It made sense to choose a woman with newborns. Her reward? Becoming Luna. Her child—children—would have a father. I would get an heir. A win-win. But when I saw the picture of her kids… I froze. They looked familiar. Too familiar. I knew I was hallucinating. I had to be. Still, the resemblance nagged at my mind like a loose thread. I shook the thought off. I couldn’t afford distractions.
MAYA“I am sorry, Maya,” Giana said gently, cradling Jayden in her arms, “but I doubt this child would ever be able to speak.”Her words stabbed through me like a thousand knives. Jayden’s little hand twitched, but it wasn’t the reflex we hoped for. It was weak. Almost lifeless. His MRI had shown abnormalities that none of us had expected. After their sudden and magical birth, we took both babies for an MRI. We had to know. And what we found… broke me.Jenna, his twin sister, had a unique trait—two different eye colors. One was a deep blue, the other a vivid purple. But her MRI had revealed something else entirely.“One of her eyes… it doesn’t respond to light the way it should,” Giana had said, still staring at the screen hours ago.“And Jenna might be blind?” I asked now, my voice cracking as I looked over at my daughter.Giana gently nodded, a softness in her eyes that made me want to scream and cry all at once. “It is only one eye,” she said, “and it might not be as bad as we fear
