~Harper~

I’m in the kitchen pouring coffee when I hear the yelling.

Not loud yelling. Elias doesn’t do loud. He does that quiet, deadly voice that makes everyone freeze.

I walk toward his office slowly, coffee forgotten, and see Sofia standing in front of his desk. Head down. Hands twisted together.

“You’ve been warned twice,” he’s saying, voice flat. “You don’t get a third.”

“Sir, I only wanted to… ”

“Out. Pack your things. Viktor will escort you.”

Sofia’s shoulders shake. She nods once and tu

  • The Tyrant's captive bride    Chapter 41

    Harper He's nodding at the class, "Hey, everyone, glad to be back in the States, looking forward to diving in," voice smooth with that light accent, and as he walks down the aisle to his seat I blink because wait, is he coming this way? My row? My back straightens before I even think about it, heart already pounding like crazy, because of course he would notice me, right? It's been years but still. Yuto and I were not strangers back then. We sat together at lunch sometimes. We walked home a few times. We shared stupid middle school secrets that felt huge at the time. He knew things about me no one else did.So obviously he will see me.Obviously he will stop.Maybe laugh in surprise. Maybe say my name like he cannot believe it."Harper? No way!"Maybe we hug awkwardly in the aisle while everyone stares.Maybe we joke about how weird it is we ended up in the same law program.My brain runs through the scene so fast it almost feels real already.He gets closer.Closer.My chest is tigh

    HarperElias is all over me this morning, hovering like a damn helicopter while I try to shove some cereal down my throat without puking it back up, and he's going on and on about how today is the big day, like I don't know, like I haven't been counting down the seconds since that hospital visit confirmed the stupid pregnancy. "Harper, baby, you ready? We're gonna get you enrolled, make it official, lawyer mom in the making," he says, grinning ear to ear as he grabs my bag and slings it over his shoulder like he's my personal butler or something, and I just roll my eyes because yeah, sure, let's pretend this is all sunshine and rainbows when I can feel that light spotting in my underwear again, warm and sticky, but screw it, I'm not letting that ruin this, not today, I finally get to step into that school and claim my spot, so I wipe it away in the bathroom quick and tell myself it's nothing, probably just stress or whatever, focus on the win, Harper, focus.Elias keeps pacing around

    Harper Elias explodes. “How dare you suggest killing my child? That’s my son or daughter in there!” He’s yelling so loud the walls shake. The doctor tries to explain but Elias is in his face, “You’re not touching her or the baby, I’ll sue this whole hospital!” I’m pissed now, stepping between them, voice cracking but sharp. “Are you that selfish, Elias? Ready to let me die for this thing? You’d rather have a dead wife and no baby than lose your precious seed?” He spins on me, eyes wild and confused, screaming, “You promised me a family! You promised!” His hands are around my throat, squeezing, and I’m gasping, clawing at his wrists, and everything goes black…. I wake up choking on air, sitting bolt upright in bed, sweat pouring down my back. Elias is already shaking me, “Harper, hey, hey, you were having a nightmare, breathe.” I shove him off hard, still gasping, heart hammering. “Yeah, no shit, genius. You were choking me in it.” He looks hurt for a second but then he pulls me aga

    Harper I’m hunched over the toilet again, puking my guts out for the fourth morning straight, and Elias is right there in the doorway with this stupid grin splitting his face like he just won the damn lottery. “Harper, you’re pregnant,” he says, all proud and loud like he’s announcing it to the whole neighborhood. I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand and glare up at him. “Shut the fuck up, Elias, it’s probably that nasty takeout you brought home last night. Stop looking at me like I’m some prize cow.”He doesn’t listen, of course he doesn’t, he just laughs that deep laugh and disappears for twenty minutes, comes back slamming the front door with a plastic bag swinging from his hand. “Bought every test they had, three brands, the expensive ones too. Pee on all of them right now.” I snatch the bag from him and mutter, “You’re ridiculous, you know that? Acting like you’re about to be father of the year when I feel like death.” But I do it anyway because my period is two weeks late a

    Harper He props up on an elbow, still smiling. “Already called the admissions office. We’re going in an hour. Get cleaned up.”I drag myself to the shower. My legs feel like jelly. I scrub my skin hard. I try to wash him off me completely. It does not work. Nothing ever works.We drive to the university building. My whole body buzzes. Nerves mix with hope and anger. Everything feels tangled together. Elias parks the car. He grabs my hand like we are a normal happy couple. We walk inside. The administrator is a middle-aged woman. She wears glasses. She looks at both of us and gives a polite smile.“Good morning. How can I help you today?”I step forward fast before Elias can open his mouth. “I am here to enroll. Full-time. I want to start the program.”She blinks. She looks at Elias then back at me. “And you are…?”“His wife,” I say in a flat voice.Elias chuckles softly. “She is my wife. Harper. Please put that on record.”The woman’s eyebrows go up high. “Oh. I… I am sorry. You look

    ~Harper~Sofia's in the living room folding laundry when I corner her, and she looks up quick with that nervous glance she always has now like she's expecting Elias to jump out from behind the couch or something, and she whispers that she managed to copy a few files onto this tiny thumb drive when

    ~Harper~Twenty-four hours feels like a week.No food. No water except what I can cup from the bathroom faucet. Throat raw from screaming at first, then just hoarse whispers begging through the door. He never answers. Not once.I’m curled on the floor by the bed, head pounding, lips cracked, when t

    ~Harper~I’m digging through the dresser for my favorite hoodie, the one I took from him when my hand hits something lacy and weird.I pull it out.Black lingerie. Tiny. Expensive-looking. Tags still on, but the kind of set that screams “I’m here to ruin your life.”Not mine. Definitely not mine. I
