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.

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.“
“Pretty unprofessional of you to ghost us,” I said, causing Claire to look at me with wide eyes. “I have to say, I was rather confused. You claim to be carrying Declan’s child, yet you decided to disappear.”She stared at me with wide eyes as I stood in front of her. She was sitting at a table in t
It had been such a long day at the studio. I couldn’t wait to take off my clothes and throw myself on the bed. However, when I made it back home, I frowned when I saw someone sitting on my front porch. Who was that?I parked my car and got out of the car. If he was a serial killer, he wouldn’t be s
As much as I loved staying at Declan’s place, I needed to leave. There was no point in staying here any longer. My neighborhood was declared safe yesterday, which meant that I could leave.Last night, I packed my things, but I didn’t tell Declan I was leaving. I wasn’t planning on leaving without t
“Would you like to drink something?” Meryl asked me as I took a seat on her couch. It had been so long since I last came here. Everything was almost the same. There were just minor differences in decorations.“No, thank you.” I smiled at her. I was curious as to why she wanted to meet me. I couldn’
