KIER

She mustn’t know what happened last night.

She stared at the smudge like she was trying to understand it—like her mind was racing to place it somewhere safe and failing.

I shouldn’t have come back like this. I should’ve cleaned up. Taken a second to think, to breathe. To be better.

But I wasn’t.

And now, she was staring at me like she didn’t recognize me. Like I was someone else entirely.

She looked like she was breaking.

I reached out to her again. “Genesis…”

Her breath hitched the moment my hand touched her shoulder—and something in me shattered. Not just because she flinched—God, she flinched—but because I saw it in her eyes.

She wasn’t here. Not really.

So I stood. Her eyes followed me, wide and wary, like she was bracing for something. Preparing for impact.

I dragged a hand through my hair, staring down at her. She looked scared… so damn small. I wanted to wrap her in my arms, protect every inch of her.

But first, I needed to take care of this mess.

I made my way to the rest

    “Princess…” Knight began, glancing at Genesis from the corner of his eye. She turned to him with a soft smile, her body trembling slightly with excitement and anticipation.“You do know Amelia was faking it back at the pool,” he continued, watching her carefully. “She’s very manipulative.”Her smile faded. A thoughtful expression crossed her face as she stared at her hands for a moment.Knight was about to say more when she looked back up at him and began to sign.“I don’t think so,” her fingers replied.Knight let out a sigh and turned back to the road, tapping the steering wheel once before slowly pulling the car to a stop on the wide tarmac. The black SUVs trailing behind followed suit, parking neatly behind them in perfect formation.The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden light over the concrete. Ahead, the engines of the private jet whirred steadily, the sleek aircraft gleaming like something out of a dream.Knight stepped out of the driver’s seat without a word, risi

  • The Womanizer's Mute Wife    Not Ugly People

    Amelia had made it her mission, ever since stepping foot in Blackwood Mansion, to come between Genesis and Kieran in everything they did. And she wasn't going to stop now.She took a deep breath, pushed open the pool doors, and stepped outside.Genesis and Daisy were in the pool, splashing each other, laughing freely. They looked like they were having the time of their lives. Of course, Amelia hated that. Every bit of it.Then her eyes drifted to Kieran.He was lounging in one of the pool chairs, shirtless, his skin kissed by sunlight. His lips wore a faint, amused grin as he watched the two women in the water, and his eyes, those intense, ice-blue eyes shimmered with something she had never seen in him before.And just seeing him brought it all back.Amelia shivered, the memory from last night crashing over her like cold water. The press of a gun barrel against her head. Kieran’s face, so close, so calm, looking at her like she was nothing. His blue eyes hadn’t blinked. They hadn’t f

  • The Womanizer's Mute Wife    One Second More

    MidnightWhile everyone slept, Amelia paced her room like a caged tiger. Just hours ago, she hadn’t even been able to walk without wincing, but after Eliana massaged her swollen feet, she felt better. Not that she’d said thank you. Gratitude didn’t live in Amelia’s chest.But that wasn’t what kept her awake.No, this was something else. Something burning deep inside her ribs.The memory made her want to scream. The way they kissed. The way he touched her. It was like a scene from a dream she wasn't invited to.And the worst part? It made her horny. So badly she wanted to pretend otherwise, but she couldn’t. Her skin itched for touch. Her body begged for release. But who would want her like this—with this giant inconvenience of a belly? Her words. Not even the club was an option. Donald was watching her like a hawk. She had to behave, at least until the paternity results confirmed Kieran was the father.“That old fucking bastard,” she hissed, sinking onto the bed. Her legs spread to ac

    Amelia rubbed her face against Knight’s chest, slow and dramatic, and Genesis just stared at her.She didn’t say anything. Not yet.Amelia kept going.“Kieran, my back hurts… and my feet too. Look—” Her eyes shimmered as she pointed down at her swollen ankles.Daisy followed her finger and wrinkled her nose. The girl had a point—Amelia’s feet were swollen like balloons. Genesis glanced down too and saw it for herself.“Please… can you rub them for me?” Amelia whined, tilting her head just enough to look helpless.Knight gently set Daisy down, careful as always. Amelia stepped back, though not without a dramatic eye-roll, like she owned the entire house.As Knight stood, adjusting his sleeves, ready to answer, he felt a gentle tug on his shirt.Genesis.She looked up at him with calm, steady eyes—soft in the middle of the chaos. She began signing, her movements smooth and composed.“I’ll do it. I’ll massage her feet.”Knight blinked.Wait. What?His brows furrowed, body going rigid.“T

  • The Womanizer's Mute Wife    Little Wife, Big Trouble

    “Oh, so I shouldn’t be helping you with your seatbelt or opening the car door for you anymore—is that what my wife is saying?” Knight asked with a teasing smile as he turned toward the car.Genesis stood nearby, hands on her hips and a cheeky smile lighting up her face. She nodded just as Knight slipped his arm around her waist.“Well, that’s not happening, little wife,” he added as they headed for the door. “That’s my duty, and I’m not stopping. Ever.”Genesis turned toward him and began signing. When she finished, he burst out laughing. She watched him, mesmerized by the way his eyes crinkled and his whole face lit up. Her heart fluttered. She bit her lip. It was useless trying to deny it any longer—she was totally and irreversibly in love with this man. Even with all his shortcomings.“You want to know why I call you ‘little one’?” he asked, still chuckling. She nodded.Then he stopped walking, eyes locking with hers. His laughter faded, replaced by a mock-serious look. She halted

  • The Womanizer's Mute Wife    Power in Her Hands

    As soon as Genesis stepped into the car and the door closed with a heavy thud, she broke.Her body folded in on itself, head tucked between her knees as silent sobs shook her frame. The moment she’d dreaded—walking back into that house—was over. But it had taken everything in her.She clutched her throat, her breathing jagged and uneven. The silence in the car was deafening—loud in its own way. Her heart thundered in her chest.She had done it. She had really done it. She took it all back.Genesis raised her tear-filled eyes and looked up through the glass roof at the afternoon sky. Lips trembling, she mouthed the words:“I did it, Father… I did it.”There was no sound, but in her heart, she hoped he heard her.Outside, Knight and Dave stood at the curb, the early sunlight casting long shadows over the driveway.Dave glanced at the car and nodded. “Yes… she’s shaken,” he said softly. “But who wouldn’t be?”Knight stood with arms crossed, jaw tight. His eyes were fixed on the house.
