The sound of the doorbell woke me up. I groaned and turned my face into the pillow, hoping that whoever it was would just give up and go away.

The doorbell rang again.

“God…” I muttered, my voice hoarse.

Who would be at my door this early?

I forced myself to sit upright, and the moment I did, everything tilted violently.

It felt like something inside my head was swelling and pressing against my skull, making me squeeze my eyes shut and clutch my temple.

Hangover.

Of course.

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Weight of Respect

    AaronI stared at them.They stood barely a few meters away, gathered in their small circle like kings in some ancient court, their deep and careless laughter echoing through the grand hall.My fingers tightened around the stem of my champagne glass.Fake laughs.Without thinking, I tilted the glass back and finished the champagne in one gulp. The sharp burn slid down my throat, but it did nothing to cool the anger and irritation I was feeling.Old, foolish men.What the hell was even wrong with them?I had been attending the Gotham Global Summit since the very first day, sitting through endless conferences, tolerating meaningless conversations, enduring forced pleasantries—all for one purpose.To establish myself.To build alliances.To form connections.To secure contracts that would cement my authority within Reynolds Group beyond question.And yet…Every single time I approached one of them, I could see it.That look.That subtle shift in their eyes.That quiet, unspoken judgment.

    AxelThe instant the car rolled to a stop in front of the hospital entrance, I pushed the door open and walked inside.Jasmine’s voice from earlier still echoed in my mind. She had sounded so fragile and broken, unlike anything I had ever heard from her before.She had sounded so… terrified.And that alone had been enough to make me drop everything and come here immediately.My gaze swept across the reception area until it landed on the front desk, where two nurses stood reviewing patient files.I approached them directly.One of them looked up as I stopped in front of the counter. Her name badge read, ‘Nurse Evelyn Carter.’“Yes, sir. How may I help you?” she asked politely.“Carl Pierce,” I said immediately, my voice calm but firm. “Which ward is he in?”The moment the name left my mouth, both nurses exchanged a quick glance.Nurse Carter turned back to her computer and typed quickly.“Yes. He was admitted earlier tonight,” she said. “Critical condition.”My jaw tightened. She finis

    Jasmine Carl’s breathing grew heavier. I watched as something dark gathered behind his battered eyes. Enraged, he stood up abruptly.“You ungrateful girl!” he barked loudly “So you'd rather just stand there and watch me suffer like this?!”I flinched slightly, instinctively taking a small step back.He pointed at me, his hand trembling with anger.“Now listen to me. You will settle those loan sharks,” he said, his voice dropping into a low, dangerous tone that sent a chill down my spine. “Every single cent.”My heart began to pound harder.“And not just that,” he continued, his lips curling bitterly. “You will find me another twenty million dollars for my medical treatment and for the pain I endured tonight. For everything they did to me.”His cold gaze locked onto mine, sharp and filled with darkness that made my blood run cold.“Unless… unless you want me to expose the truth.”My breath caught.“I’ll tell everyone. I’ll let the entire world know who you really are. I’ll tell Axel,

    Jasmine“Drive faster.”My voice came out sharper than I intended. The driver glanced at me briefly through the rearview mirror, before nodding.“Yes, ma’am.”The car accelerated.Still, it wasn’t enough.It wasn’t fast enough to outrun the panic clawing at my chest.I pressed my trembling fingers tightly together on my lap, trying to steady them.Why?Why couldn’t this man never give me a single moment of peace?Why couldn’t he just live quietly like everyone else?Why was there always trouble?Always chaos?Always something dragging me back down just when I thought I could finally breathe?If not for the undeniable fact that he was my biological father… I would have abandoned him long ago.I would have erased him from my life completely.Pretended he never existed. Pretended I had been born without one.But I just couldn't do that. No matter what, he still remained my father, even though he had chosen to become a burden in my life.The car turned sharply into the familiar street whe

    OliviaI smiled as the car door opened for me.The cool evening air brushed gently against my skin as I stepped out. For a moment, I simply stood there, taking in the elegance of the restaurant before my gaze shifted to him.Liam.He stood beside the open door, one hand resting over his chest as he bowed dramatically in a way that made him look both ridiculous and irresistibly charming at the same time.I laughed softly.“Thank you.”He straightened, his lips curving into that familiar boyish grin.“Only for my queen,” he said smoothly.Heat rushed faintly to my cheeks as I slipped my hand through his extended arm and together, we walked inside.The moment we stepped in, an attendant approached us almost immediately.“Good evening, sir. Good evening, ma’am,” he greeted politely.Liam nodded.“We’ve been expecting you,” the attendant added with a small smile before gesturing politely toward the elevator. “This way, please.”I blinked in confusion.The elevator?I glanced at Liam, raisi

    JasmineCollette let out a small, embarrassed laugh.“Jane, you really shouldn’t…”But I didn’t let her finish.I couldn’t.Because that forced, apologetic, submissive laugh was the sound of a woman trying to make herself smaller to accommodate cruelty she did not deserve.And I refused to allow it.My voice cut through the air before Collette could utter another word.“And since when,” I began loudly, “has it become a rite or law that when a woman’s husband betrays her, she must lock herself away in shame and never lift her head in society again?”The room stilled. Even the air seemed to pause.From the corner of my eye, I saw Collette turn toward me sharply.There was surprise on her face. Real surprise.Her lips parted slightly, her eyes searching mine as though she were trying to understand what I was doing.But I didn’t look at her.Not yet. Because right now, my focus was on Jane.Jane, who stood there, lifted her chin even higher with arrogance and shrugged her shoulders lazily
