He kept dragging me along the road. People pointed and stared, whispering behind their hands, but he didn’t care. My head stayed low, shame crawling over my skin like a rash. My limbs felt heavy, my soul even heavier. I was already weak—both inside and out.

We stopped in front of a wide glass building. I only looked up when I heard him shout, “Captain! Captain! Captain!”

That’s when I saw the signage: a gym. Everyone inside stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes on us. Their judgment hit me harder than the sun scorching above.

“I want you to train this hippo body,” Lucian spat coldly, shoving me forward. I staggered, almost falling, until a tall, muscular man stepped forward to catch me.

The man blinked in surprise. “Sir, she’s a woman. Women should be treated with gentleness.”

Lucian cut him off with a harsh glare. “I’m paying you. Don’t tell me how to rule my world. Just do what I asked.” He turned and stormed off, leaving silence and tension in his wake.

    LYRA’S POVToday makes it eight months since I came back home. Sometimes I forget I was ever in that house of pain. Life isn’t perfect now, but it’s peaceful—and that’s a luxury I no longer take for granted.Zane and I have grown closer. He's become the person I didn’t know I needed. He enrolled me back into high school, paid all my fees, even arranged for me to live in the hostel so I wouldn’t feel suffocated. He handled everything like it was nothing, and I couldn't stop myself from falling.Somehow, we started dating. Slowly. Gently. With no pressure—just warmth. And yet, what surprises me more than Zane’s patience is Lucian.Lucian has been coming around. Begging. Pleading. Apologizing.For what? For dragging me by the neck in public? For violating my body and pride? For the humiliation, the pain, the trauma?He wants me back.

    NYX'S POVLillian cried so much, her little arms clinging to my leg like chains forged in love and innocence. For a moment, I thought maybe I should stay… just a little longer. But no. I can’t.Not anymore.Zane didn’t say anything after that. He only turned away and gave instructions to one of the drivers. Then he handed me his card.“Call me when you get there,” he said, voice soft, eyes unreadable.I nodded, fingers closing around the card like it was my last anchor.The car ride was silent. My heart, though, was anything but. It beat erratically, caught between freedom and fear. As we neared the hospital, I stared at the entrance, expecting to see them—Mom’s fragile form wrapped in warmth, Dad’s guarded stare.I rushed to Room 104, the one etched in my memory like it was carved with a blade.Empty.No sheets. No flowers. No machines humming with quiet dread.A nurse walked past and I called out, “Excuse me—my mother, she was here—Miriam William's?”“Oh… yes. She and your father we

    Zane stared at Lucian, his eyes sharp, unreadable, slowly scanning him from head to toe like he was seeing something pitiful. Then, without a word, he stood, slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked out with measured steps.The door clicked shut behind him.Lucian's jaw clenched. His nostrils flared.Then, without warning, he grabbed Lyra by the wrist—his grip vice-like—and yanked her with him down the hallway. She stumbled behind him, heart hammering, unsure what was coming next but already knowing it wouldn't be good."Lucian, let go of me!" she cried, trying to free herself. But he said nothing.He threw open the door to his room and shoved her inside before slamming the door hard enough to rattle the frame."You let another man touch what belongs to me?" His voice was low, dangerous.Before she could even catch her breath, his hand wrapped around her throat—not tight enough to choke her, but firm enough to make her freeze. His gaze bore into hers, wild and possessive."How dare

    “Send your bank account number, let me send the money so you can pay him,” Zane said, tapping on his phone screen.“I don't have bank account”He looked up at me, gaze calm but steady. “Okay, then give me your phone number.”“I... I don’t have a phone,” I murmured.He stilled. Then he dropped his hand, and covered his face. “Oh my God. Everything you don’t have.” A pause. “I’m heading back tomorrow for an important meeting. I mean no harm.”My heart slammed against my ribs. Tomorrow?If he left now… if he left me alone in this house, I wouldn’t survive Lucian. I wouldn’t survive myself.“When I return, I’ll open an account for you,” he said, almost dismissively.“O... okay,” I forced out, a lump tightening in my throat.As he walked toward the door, he muttered, “I wonder how someone your age doesn’t even have a bank account.”The door closed behind him, and just like that… the warmth left the room. My mood sank with it.If Zane left, if he was gone for even a day, I didn’t know how t

  • The CEO'S Chubby Contract Wife   13: The bond

    His lips crashed into mine before I could even think, let alone speak. The kiss was hungry, demanding, and I felt my resistance crumble instantly. His hand gripped my ass, squeezing hard enough to make me gasp into his mouth. I could feel the heat of his palm through the fabric of my jeans, and it sent a jolt straight to my core. My body betrayed me, arching into him as his tongue pushed past my lips, claiming me in a way that left no room for hesitation.I barely registered his other hand sliding under my shirt, his fingers skimming up my stomach until they found the edge of my bra. He paused for a moment, his lips still locked on mine, and then he pulled back just enough to look down. His fingers brushed against something unexpected—the phone I put there, tucked haphazardly into my bra. He pulled it out, holding it up between us with a smirk.“What’s this?” he asked, his voice low and teasing. His eyes flicked from the phone to me, and I could see the amusement dancing in them. “is
