Se connecterCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENMIREYA'S POVI slowly opened my eyes, my vision blurry at first as the bright white ceiling gradually came into focus. The faint beeping of medical machines echoed through the quiet room, followed by the smell of antiseptic that instantly told me where I was. A hospital. I blinked several times before my vision finally cleared, only to find a group of doctors standing around my bed, all watching me closely as though they had been waiting for this exact moment. Why are there so many of them? I wondered, my brows knitting together in confusion as I carefully pushed myself into a sitting position. Was it really that serious? The movement made my body ache slightly, but it wasn't unbearable. As my gaze slowly swept across the room, it stopped on Knox. He sat beside my bed, his expression unusually tense. His clothes were scorched and torn in several places, the expensive fabric blackened by smoke and fire. Fresh burns and bruises covered parts of his ex
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENKNOX'S POVThe impact came without warning.My car slammed violently into a roadside pole, the force jerking my entire body forward despite the seatbelt. A sharp pain shot through my neck, and for a brief second, my vision blurred. The hood crumpled, steam rising from the damaged engine, but I didn't care. Pain was meaningless right now. Nothing mattered except one person. Gritting my teeth, I ignored the throbbing in my neck, restarted the engine, and forced the battered car back onto the road despite the damage. Every second felt like an eternity. My heart pounded violently against my ribs while Magnus roared restlessly inside me, his anxiety mirroring my own. Nothing must happen to her. That single thought drowned out everything else as I drove recklessly toward the restaurant.After what felt like forever, I finally arrived.The scene before me made my blood run cold.The restaurant was engulfed in flames.Thick black smoke billowed into the sky
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVEMIREYA'S POVThe grand opening had finally arrived.After days of endless persuasion, I had successfully convinced Knox to support my dream. Acquiring the building had been surprisingly easy because the property already belonged to him. The moment I told him I wanted to open a restaurant, he insisted on giving me the building for free as though it was the most natural thing in the world. Of course, I refused immediately. I wanted this restaurant to truly feel like something I had built with my own hands, not something simply handed to me because I was close to him. After a long argument that lasted far longer than it should have, I managed to convince him to let me rent the building instead. He had been unbelievably stubborn about it, insisting that there was no reason for me to pay him a single cent, but eventually he surrendered after realizing that, for once, he couldn't outsmart me. Thinking back on the look of reluctant defeat on his face still br
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN KNOX'S POV “What?” I stared at her in disbelief, my brows knitting together. “That's even more dangerous!”“I know,” she answered stubbornly, meeting my gaze without backing down. “But I really want to do it.”My grip around her waist tightened instinctively.“What if something happens to you?” I asked, my voice lowering with concern. “I can't afford to watch you put yourself in that kind of situation.”She reached for my hand and gently held it between both of hers.“I'll hire experienced people,” she explained patiently. “I won't be doing everything by myself, and I promise I'll be careful. Trust me... it'll be fine.” She paused before looking up at me with hopeful eyes. “This has always been my dream. Please support me... hmm?”I let out a long breath.“Reya...” I mumbled, rubbing my forehead. “You're making this very difficult for me.”The stubborn expression on her face didn't soften in the slightest.Instead, she quietly pulled away from me and t
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TENKNOX'S POVI deliberately focused my hearing on her room as I walked toward my study, intending to leave the mansion for work afterward. Halfway down the hallway, I stopped in my tracks. A soft, breathless sound drifted through the silence, followed by my name rolling off her lips in the sweetest voice imaginable.That girl couldn't possibly be serious.A slow smile tugged at my lips while Magnus let out an amused chuckle inside me, clearly entertained by what he was hearing.Without giving it another thought, I turned around and quietly retraced my steps toward her room. The door hadn't been locked. I pushed it open without making a sound and stepped inside. She had her eyes tightly shut, completely lost in her own thoughts, so absorbed that she didn't even notice my presence. Her head rested against the headboard, tilted back ever so slightly as though she were surrendering herself to the sensations running through her body. The silk top she wore clung
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE MIREYA'S POV “What was that for?” I complained, lightly slapping his shoulder.He only looked pleased with himself.Ignoring my complaint, he leaned in once more, capturing my lips again despite the tiny trace of blood left from the playful bite. Before I realized what he was doing, his strong arms slid beneath me, effortlessly lifting me off the floor. A surprised gasp escaped my lips as I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck. He carried me the short distance to the bed before carefully lowering me onto the soft mattress with surprising gentleness. The contrast between his rough teasing and the care with which he handled me was enough to leave me completely flustered. The moment I settled onto the bed, our lips met again, and this time I found myself kissing him back without another complaint, allowing every lingering worry and confusing thought to slowly fade away in his embrace.I wanted him so badly. His hand slowly slid down from my che
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURMIREYA'S POVWhat was he trying to say? What was he doing? My body froze as I stood so close to him, my perky round breasts pressed against his solid frame while my breathing grew uneven. The warmth radiating from him only made my thoughts more chaotic, and I hated how aware I s
