Genesis Caldwell thought escaping her abusive home meant salvation—but her arranged marriage to billionaire Kieran Blackwood might be its own kind of prison. He’s possessive, controlling, dangerous. Yet in his own broken way… he’s gentle with her. To Kieran, Genesis isn’t just a wife. She’s everything. And he’ll protect what’s his. Even if it means destroying everything else.

My heart was slamming so hard I thought it would crack my ribs. My eyes were blurry from the tears rushing down my cheeks in hot, endless streams. All I could think was: **this cannot be happening*. Not after everything. Not fter the the pain I’d clawed through to finally have peace. The happiness I’d bled for. The family. The twins. Kieran. The universe couldn’t be that cruel. It couldn’t take him from me now.“I’m on my way to the hospital,” Mom said, “but I need you to tell me, did the doctor say his reaction was to your presence? Because that’s completely ridiculous if I’m to say.”“Yes, it was ridiculous,” I choked out, wiping my face with my sleeve. “But I can’t deny the pattern. It’s right there. Every time I walk in… he crashes. Every time I leave… he stabilizes. They’re going to test it. With me in the room. Wit
GENESIS POV“I assure you, Mrs. Blackwood,” the doctor said, flipping through the chart one last time before closing it with a soft snap, “this is nothing more than the flu that’s been going around. His vitals are stable, no signs of pneumonia or secondary infection. The vomiting was most likely from the high fever and dehydration—he’s not keeping anything down, so his stomach is rebelling. We’ve given him fluids here, and as long as he stays hydrated at home, he should turn the corner in a few days.”I stared at him, arms crossed tight over my chest like I could physically hold myself together.“Are you sure that's all, he was shaking pretty bad?” I pressed.The doctor sighed exasperated, but not unkind. He leaned back against the counter in the small exam room.“High fevers in adults can cause rigors, shaking chills. It’s the body’s way of trying to raise its temperature even higher to kill the virus. The vomiting is common with sudden spikes. He’s not eating, not drinking enough, s
GENESISThe day Kieran fell ill was the worst week of my life. I was sure I was losing my mind. The first day I thought it was just a cold.“Baby please eat something,” I said, bringing the spoonful of soup to his lips.He was propped up against the headboard, skin pale and clammy, eyes half-lidded like even keeping them open took effort. He managed a weak smile, the kind that usually made my knees weak, but today it just broke my heart.“I’m fine, princess,” he rasped, voice rough and low. “You can go to work. I’ll sleep it off.”I stared at him.Go to work?Leave him like this, burning up, barely able to sit up without swaying?“How can I go to work and leave you?” My voice cracked before I could stop it. “Kieran, look at you. You can barely hold your head up.”He tried to laugh, it turned into a cough that rattled his chest.“I’ve had worse. It’s just a bug.”I shook my head, tears already stinging.“Please. Just… eat a little. For me.”I brought the spoon back to his lips again, g
GENESIS“Yeah, go ahead,” Zarina said, wiping her hands on her apron with a grin. “We’ll close up. Go get your little monsters.”I looked between them, Cady already stacking the last trays, Zarina double-checking the register and shook my head, throat suddenly tight.“What am I going to do without you guys?” I said softly.Cady rolled her eyes, but her smile was warm. “You’ll survive. You’ve survived worse than us closing shop by ourselves.”Zarina walked over and pulled me into a one handed hug. “You’re not abandoning us. You’re just being a mom. We’ve got this.”I hugged her back, then reached for Cady. She squeezed me tight before letting go.“See you tomorrow,” “Come early this timd,” Zarina called after me. “Or we’re eating your share of tomorrow’s test batch.”I laughed, waved once more, and stepped out into the late-afternoon sun.I slid into the car, started the engine, and the radio came on mid-song ,Vanessa Carlton, that old, nostalgic one.I turned it up.The windows were
GENESIS I was in the kitchen, zipping up the last lunch box, three identical ones lined up on the counter like little soldiers when Izzy’s voice hit decibel levels that should be illegal before 8 a.m.“MOMMMMMM, DASH IS YANKING ON MY PONYTAIL!”I winced, fingers freezing on the zipper.“Sweetheart
Genesis’s heart pounded so hard she could barely breathe. The echo of the stretcher wheels faded down the hall until there was nothing left, just the sterile hum of the hospital lights and the sound of her own racing pulse.Her back hit the cold wall, and she slid down slowly, her hands trembling.
Genesis stood on her tiptoes as Knight bent down, their foreheads meeting while she closed her eyes, her hand encircling his head."I'm not suggesting you should part ways with Knight, never! He is a part of you, and we need him. However, your father requires Kieran, and I believe you should expres
GENESISSOne month later“Mwahhhhh,” Isabella’s cries pierced the nursery like a siren.“No, not again,” Kieran groaned from the rocking chair, head tipped back against the wall, eyes squeezed shut in pure exhaustion.I smiled despite the fatigue tugging at every muscle in my body and hurried over
