Chapter 111: A Shadow After “We Do”

Thorne’s POV

The days after Garrett and I decided to get married felt unreal. For once, there was no gunfire, no betrayal, no masks hiding the truth. Just us. Two men planning a future.

We spent mornings arguing about the kind of wedding we should have. Garrett wanted something quiet, simple. I… well, I didn’t know what I wanted. I only knew I wanted him.

“Black tux,” Garrett said one morning as he lounged on the couch, sipping coffee. “Classic. Elegant.”

I snorted. “You mean boring.”

“Boring?” He raised an eyebrow. “And what do you suggest?”

I leaned against the table, grinning. “Red tux. You’d look hot.”

Garrett choked on his coffee, glaring at me. “Red? Do I look like a magician to you?”

I laughed so hard I nearly dropped the newspaper. “Fine, fine. Black. But maybe with red lining inside. Just to keep things fiery.”

He shook his head but smiled. “You’re impossible.”

Moments like this… they healed me more than any hospital bed or medicine ever co

  • Under The Mask Of My Enemy   The Wedding Plans

    Chapter 111 – The Wedding Plans Thorne’s POV The kitchen table looked like a war zone. There was coffee, paper, a pen that didn’t even work half the time, and Garrett sitting across from me with that smug smile he always wore when he thought he was smarter than me. At the top of the page, in my messy handwriting, I had written: Wedding. “First thing’s first,” Garrett said, leaning back in his chair like some kind of boss. “Do we want this wedding small or big?” I sighed. “If we make it big, your entire mafia family will come. And that will turn into a business meeting, not a wedding.” He grinned. “So… small then?” “Small,” I confirmed. “Very small. Like… maybe just us, the priest, and two witnesses.” Garrett pretended to look offended. “Two witnesses? Who? The neighbor’s cat and the mailman?” I rolled my eyes. “Don’t tempt me.” He chuckled. “Fine. Close friends. People we trust.” I stared at him for a moment. “That’s like… what? Three people?” “Four,” he corrected. “If you

    Chapter One hundred and Nine : We DoThorne's POVThe hospital smelled of antiseptic and medication, something I'd gotten way too accustomed to in the last few days. But today didn't count. Today was special.Because today, I was taking Garrett home.I gripped the pen firmly in my hand as I signed the discharge papers. My hands trembled slightly, not from fear, but from something deeper—something that had been building inside of me since Garrett woke up.Relief.Sense of finality.New beginning.The nurse checked the papers from me, looking up with a warm smile. "All set. He can go home."I nodded, barely able to get the words out.I turned to confront the room, my heart pounding as I yanked open the door. Garrett sat on the edge of the bed, dressed already, his dark eyes fixed on me uncertainly."Sure you're ready to do this?" he asked, still a little raspy.I laughed a half-breathless laugh. "I signed the stupid documents, didn't I?"Garrett smiled. "Guess I shouldn't complain about

  • Under The Mask Of My Enemy   Hope

    Chapter One hundred and eight : Hope Thorne's POVThe hospital room was quiet save for the constant beeping of the heart monitor. The dim light from the window gave a soft illumination to the bed, on Garrett's face—the face I had glared at for hours on end, full of anger, frustration, confusion. But now, I wasn't glaring at him with any of those emotions.Now, I was only full of hope.I had been sitting there for hours, my hands resting on the railing of the bed, my fingers occasionally brushing against his. He was warm, he was breathing, but he hadn't moved.Not yet.I breathed a shuddering breath and swept the hair out of my face, my muscles cramped from being in the same position for so long. I hadn't moved. Not even when the nurses told me I had to rest. Not even when my own exhaustion screamed at me to shut my eyes.Because what if I died, and he came around when I was gone?No. I wasn't going anywhere.My gaze wandered to his face—his hard face relaxed by sleep, his dark lashes

    Chapter 107 : Desperate For A Chance Thorne's POVThe corridor of the hospital felt chillier than usual. Or maybe it was me—my body heavy, my heart heavier.Gavin stood before me with his face expressionless. There was no anger, no disappointment, just a calm resignation, as if he had already heard my response even before he asked me the question.I should have talked—talked to soften the rejection, to dissipate the tension. I had nothing.Gavin released a gentle breath, rubbing the nape of his neck. "I see," he said. "You don't have to tell me any more."I opened my mouth, hesitated, then closed it.But just as he turned to leave, he hesitated. His fist curled loosely at his side before he spoke once more finally."There's something you should know, though."His tone was level, but there was something in his eyes—a glint of something black, something that twisted my stomach into a knot of anticipation."Which?" I hedged.Gavin's eyes met mine. "The night I saved you… Garrett called

    Chapter 106: By His SideThorne's POVI didn't leave Garrett alone. Ever.The hospital room was cold, too white, too clean. The machines beeped softly in the quiet, a reminder he was still here, still breathing. But he wasn't awake. He hadn't moved since the operation, and that terrified me more than anything.I sat beside his bed, watching. His face was pale, lips dry. Bandages on his chest protruded from the hospital gown, harsh reminder that the bullet meant for me found home in him.I grasped his hand, hesitating before encircling it with my own. Cold to the touch, his skin seemed, and yet there was a warmth beneath, a testament that he clung on.You'd better wake up soon," I growled, my throat rough. "You can't just leave me like this."I pinned his hand down firmly, but he didn't react.The guilt was crushing.I had spent so much time hating him, blaming him, repelling him. And now that I should have protected myself, Garrett had stepped in front of that bullet.It ought to have
