Vivienne's POV

The house learned my grief faster than I did. I told myself that I was probably overthinking and reading too much meaning into it, but the more time I spent in the house, the more the realization settled into the pit of my stomach like a heavy weight that refused to budge.

The house creaked less, it breathed quieter, and even the light coming through the windows felt muted, like it was afraid of waking something fragile inside me. Two days home from the hospital, and everyth

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 107

    Vivienne's POV I knew he would come back. Slimy people like Grant didn't just appear not to show up again. If anything, they made sure to keep lurking, just so they could strike when you least expected it. Those were the words I told myself, but I just didn’t think it would be so soon.The bell above the door chimed at six forty-three in the evening. I remember the time because I had just checked the clock, counting down the minutes until closing like that would somehow speed them up.I didn’t look up right away. I didn't need to, because I felt him first. The air shifted and thinned, like it was introducing one of the villains from my nightmares. I was still trying to convince myself that I was overthinking it, when his voice reached my ears. “Evening, sweetheart.” My hand stilled over the receipt book. Slowly, and against my better judgement, I lifted my eyes.Grant stood just inside the doorway, his coat immaculate, and his expression relaxed, like he’d merely stopped by to

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 106

    Ronan's POV The air in my office was thick with the scent of stale whiskey, cold tobacco, and the suffocating vibration of my own failure. I hadn’t slept in seventy-two hours and more, I was sure. My skin felt like it was buzzing, a low voltage current of pure, unadulterated rage that made every muscle in my body twitch.I paced the length of the rug, my boots heavy against the floorboards. I caught my reflection in the darkened window, and even though I wasn't one to care too much about my appearance, I was actually disappointed in myself right now. I looked haggard with my bloodshot eyes, and a thick, dark stubble that felt like sandpaper against my palms. I looked like a man losing his mind, because I was.Every lead was a dead end. Every contact I’d squeezed had come up dry. I’d spent the last few days tearing through my own men like a hurricane, handing out punishments for the slightest hesitation,and demanding a level of perfection that was impossible to meet because Vivienn

    Grant didn’t move, and that was the worst part. He didn’t lunge, didn’t shout and he didn't even slam his fist against the counter like a man who’d just cornered his prey.He just stood there, the perfect picture of calm and composure. His eyes were fixed on me, watching my every movement, like he’d known exactly where I would land.“You look thinner,” he said mildly, eyes dragging over me in a way that made my skin prickle. “Life hasn’t been kind I presume. I wouldn't say I'm surprised though.”“Why, why are you here?” My fingers tightened around the edge of the register. “What are you doing here?”A faint smile tugged at his mouth, but it wasn't warm. Never warm.“You really thought running away could protect you?” The words landed soft, but they hit hard.“I didn’t run from you,” I said, though my voice lacked the conviction I wanted it to have.“Didn’t you?” He tilted his head slightly. “You always did that. The moment things got hard, you vanished.”“I left because I wanted to

    Vivienne's POV By the time the sun came up, my legs barely felt like they belonged to me anymore.I’d been walking for hours, and believe me when I said that was the biggest understatement of the century. I didn’t even remember when I stopped knowing where I was going. I just kept moving, one foot in front of the other, past streets I didn’t recognize, and past people who didn’t look twice at me.The air turned colder as night settled in, and I found myself under a bridge with nothing but the sound of distant traffic and my own breathing to keep me company. I told myself I wasn't scared, but even the tiniest rustle had me jumping in my skin. I wrapped my arms around myself and curled into the concrete like it might swallow me whole, but the hoodie swallowed me instead.His hoodie.I told myself I only grabbed it because it was close to the door when I left,because it was cold, because it didn’t mean anything.But that was a lie, and I knew it. It still smelled faintly like him,

    Ronan's POV She’d come back..That’s what I told myself the first night. A part of me didn't fully believe it, but I told myself I had to. If I didn't truly believe that what I'd done was the best thing, then what had been the point in the first place? I sat on the edge of the bed, the ring still glinting on the nightstand like it was mocking me.She’d cool off, I told myself. She’d think, and then she’d realize she overreacted. She had to. With the amount of time I'd spent with her, I knew Vivienne wasn’t the type to just walk away. She loved too hard for that, and she stayed, even when she shouldn’t. Maybe this was coming from a place of pride, but I knew this time wouldn't be an exception. “She’ll come back,” I muttered, dragging a hand down my face.The house was too quiet. I didn’t sleep in the bed. Instead, I stayed sitting there until morning bled through the curtains, staring at the empty doorway like she might appear in it.She didn’t.The second day, I called..It rang

    Ronan's POV Good.That was the first thing I told myself after she walked out. Good. She saw it, and now, she knew where I stood. Only a fool would have witnessed what she did and decide to stick to the fact that things were okay between us. It was probably petty, but if I couldn't be happy, then she couldn't as well. I shook the thought out of my head as the club noise slowly came back into focus around me. The music, laughter, glasses clinking and what not echoed, but it all sounded distant, like it was happening in another room.Lana was still in front of me, her fingers curled into my shirt where she’d grabbed me after the kiss.“You surprised me,” she murmured, eyes gleaming. “Didn’t think you still had it in you.”I took another swallow of whiskey I'd snagged the minute we walked in here, letting it burn. “Don’t read into it.”She smirked. “Oh, I’m reading into it.”I didn’t look toward the door. I didn’t let myself. If I looked, I might see her, and if I saw her, I might…

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 101

    Vivienne's POV I didn’t know what I expected when I walked into the club. Maybe anger, maybe another wall of silence, maybe a fight that would finally force all the words stuck between us out into the open.But I didn’t expect this. Hell, if it hadn't happened before me, then best believe that

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 100

    Ronan's POV I didn't believe in having a shitty life. Yes, you had a couple of bad days, but that was it. I never allowed myself to dwell in them either. I always wrapped it up by being nonchalant about it, no matter what the fuck went wrong, and while that had always worked for me, it wasn't t

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 98

    Ronan's POV I spoke to the doctor again because silence was eating at me. I initially wanted to talk myself out of it, I wanted to convince myself that it wasn't necessary, but the more I tried, the harder it got, and before I could yell out Maverick's name, I was already on my way to find a do

  • The Biker King's Bride    Chapter 97

    Vivienne's POV I woke up to voices, and for the life of me, I couldn't bring myself to really come to terms with how I felt about that. At first, I thought I was still dreaming, because everything felt thick and distant, like I was submerged underwater. My body was heavy, and it was aching i
