LOGIN“I was just a pawn in your game!” Tears streamed down my face. “No!” He was quick to deny the accusation. “Look me in the eye, Declan, and tell me you didn’t marry me for revenge!” My heart was burning. “It might have started like that, but I swear, everything between us has always been real, Kendra.” It was hard to believe his pleading tone. “This is it, Declan. This is the end of us.” ***** Kendra Hazelwood’s world turns upside down the moment her father announces she must marry Declan Davenport—their sworn enemy. Knowing she has no choice, Kendra finds herself in a marriage built on secrets, lies, and the ashes of an old feud. Declan has waited his whole life for this chance. Marrying a Hazelwood is the perfect cover to finally take his revenge, and he vows to never let his heart get involved. However, everything about Kendra rattles his world, and soon the line between vengeance and desire begins to blur. Everything changes when Kendra uncovers the brutal truth. Feeling heartbroken and betrayed, she walks away, determined to reclaim her life. Declan is determined to win the woman who owns his heart back, but will he succeed? Can love survive betrayal and pain?
View MoreDeclan had always been known for keeping his promises, and today, he was fulfilling the only promise he hadn’t fulfilled yet. Today was our wedding. The wedding he promised to give me before he was diagnosed with the tumor that took so much from us.He told me he’d give me a wedding that the entire world would talk about for months. My husband wasn’t bluffing because he truly meant every word he said. Although I told him I didn’t care about any of that, and having him and Aliana was better than a thousand weddings, he wasn’t having it.He had booked the biggest vineyard in the city since my dream wedding had always been a vineyard wedding. My dress was a dream that came true. It was nothing like the ones I wore at my two previous weddings.This one was customized for me, and there wasn’t another one like it in the entire world. It was so feminine and graceful, and I was in love with every single detail about it. It had an A-line silhouette—exactly how I imagined it. It was fitted at t
“Declan, don’t freak out, okay?” I looked at my wife in confusion, not understanding why she’d tell me something like that. We were about to get into bed, and she had just walked out of the bathroom.“What’s going on?” I tried to maintain a neutral tone.“My water broke.” My eyes widened at her words. We knew this was bound to happen at any given moment since she was already in her thirty-ninth week of pregnancy.“Okay, we’re not going to panic.” I got out of bed and started slowly inhaling and exhaling to calm down. “There’s nothing to panic over, right? This was expected. The doctor told us everything is fine, and she doesn’t believe that you’ll face any complications.” I stopped talking when I felt Kendra grab my hand.When did she approach me? She was just by the bathroom door.“Declan, you’re doing the exact opposite of not panicking. You’re panicking,” she told me, staring at me.She was right. I was panicking. She shouldn’t be the one to comfort me at the time being. She was gi
“You’re not just glowing, you’re radiant, flame,” Declan exclaimed, hugging me from behind, causing me to laugh.The past couple of weeks had been pretty hectic, but thankfully, everything had fallen into place.After Declan showed me the evidence the private investigator collected against Abigail, we headed to the police station to report everything. We didn’t leave any loopholes that Abigail could use against us.She tried so hard to claim that she was innocent, but even her lawyers understood that the odds weren’t in her favor. There was plenty of proof against her.John and Amanda tried to get me to drop the lawsuit, offering to give me whatever I wanted, but they didn’t have anything I wanted. All I wanted was to see the woman who wanted to see me dead in jail.What I truly wanted was to never see any of them ever again, and I could say that I got what I wanted.Abigail had been arrested, and they couldn’t even bail her out. Her trial was in a month, and I wasn’t worried. I had a
I opened the door when the doorbell rang and found the private investigator I hired. He called me an hour ago, asking me if I was home.“Good afternoon,” I said, stepping aside to let him in.“Good afternoon, Mr. Davenport,” he said, walking inside.“I hope you have good news,” I said, guiding him to my home office. Kendra was sitting in the backyard with Joelle and Lana.I had been working from home ever since she was released from the hospital, not wanting to leave her alone. Mom offered to stay with her if I wanted to go to work, but I refused. I knew Mom would take great care of her, but I wanted to be by her side.Just a day after the incident took place, I immediately hired a private investigator to look into the matter. I didn’t want to wait for the police because I was willing to do anything and pay any amount of money to find out who wanted her dead.I was certain that it wasn’t just a random shooting incident and Kendra happened to be at the wrong place and the wrong time.“
I stared at the red mark on my wife’s chest that kept expanding with each passing second. She had just been shot. Everything was perfect! Why did that have to happen?One moment, we were happy and laughing, and the next, she was shot in the middle of the street.“It’s okay,” I stuttered, gently tak
I was close to losing my mind. Kendra had been gone for two days, and she hadn’t spoken to me. Not even once!It wasn’t just that. Even before leaving, she barely talked to me. She was treating me exactly how I used to treat her before the whole hospital thing, and I hated every second of it.Was t
The black dress I had on made me feel beautiful. It was a dress Declan bought me a long time ago, but I never got the chance to wear it. It was one of the gifts he liked to surprise me with out of the blue.I had always thought I’d wear it on a date, but here I was, wearing it at a gallery where I
“I saw two people on a motorcycle. The one at the back shot her. They had helmets on, so I couldn’t see who they were.” I gave my statement to the police.“Is there anything you noticed about the motorcycle?” the cop asked me.“It was a red and white one,” I replied.“Thank you, Mr. Davenport.
