41. The Tracker
CENRIC     “Where the fuck is my wife?” I yelled at the three of them. They were the best, and I just proudly told Toby, yet a woman who was not capable of escaping managed to sneak out from them in broad daylight. “Are you all just gonna fucking look at me?” “There’s only one thing I think she would do,” Beck replied. “She’s going to meet her brother.” “I can find her if you let me use a computer,” Toby suggested. “No!” we chorused. “Okay.” He cowered into his seat. “Let me find her,” William offered. “No need,” I told him. “I can’t believe my finest men just get played by a woman.” I fished out my phone and tapped on the app. “Your wife is a smart woman. You just underestimated her, sir,” Devin said. I lifted my gaze from the screen to him. “I’m not asking for your compliment and opinion. And, of course, my wife is smart. Why else would I marry a beautiful but lacking intelligence?” I

42. Tensions
SADIE   The trip home was the most excruciating and awkward I had. No one had tried to break the silence. I kept my mouth shut as well. I didn’t want to cause more anger to Cenric than I already had. I could also feel that he was about to erupt like a dormant volcano. What kept me thinking was how to deal if he would do what I felt I deserved. Even if he would cut my internet privilege again, I would gladly accept his retribution. But I did what I thought would help us, and I had no regrets. The silence was killing me. I could even hear my own heartbeat. Cenric’s eyes were on his phone, and he was typing the entire time, but I didn’t miss the way his jaw tensed.               Beck and Devin noticed the tension, but they didn’t say anything. Beck turned on the Podcast instead—the topic was about the kids who were the casualties in a war. I managed to divert my tension as I listened with him.

43. Dirty Little Secrets
CENRIC   After we fucked in the shower, we made love in bed. It was intense and addicting as I watched and gave what made her craze and bend to her desire.  “You’ve been silent.” I look down at her. I was running my fingers against her soft skin while her head was on my hip. Her hand was just on my lower abs, and her arm was literally on my dick.  “Just thinking about what your brother said.” This is not over. “Find something to stop him, even if he will go to jail. It’s better than threatening an innocent guy who works hard to meet his needs.” “It’s hard to lock your brother up. You should know that your father has some connections both in the government and criminal world.” “What do you mean?” she lifted her head, staring at me in shock. She really had no idea about her family, had she? “I’m not gonna let you carry the burden of your family secret.” I shook my head. “You ar

44. The Corbins
SADIE “Oh, my God!” I peeked my head out of the window of a running SUV. I always dreamed of living on a farm full of cattle, horses, sheep and having freshly gathered eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast. “This is awesome! Marry me, Beck!” “You didn’t just say that while you’re beside your husband.” “Wow! This is vast.” I ignored Cenric just spanked my butt. “200 hundred acres,” Beck said proudly. He was sitting on the passenger’s seat while he let Devin drive. It was a fantastic trip. We chatted and played scrabbles, and I never won while my husband was on his laptop the entire trip. Beck was full of surprises. He was kind of chatty and had won all the time when not on the clock. He was smarter than any of us, I guess. “Nice house, bro,” Devin commented as we entered the iron-wrought gate. The two-story ranch-style house with a devoted patio came to view. “Thanks. Been for Corbin for generations.”

45. Sweet Side of Beck
CENRIC I wasn’t expecting to end a pleasant dinner like this. Marriage was not something you took lightly or for fun because there was divorce. I disagreed with how Austin pushed Beck to settle down if he was not ready for it. Maybe, I was still lucky that despite the arrangement I made, my wife was wonderful, and she was not like those women who were after my bank accounts, though sometimes, I wished she enjoyed spending. But Sadie was different. She would rather work hard for the money she earned—that DNA she never got from her father. I followed Beck to the backyard. The silver moon was full, casting a glow above us. I couldn’t remember the last time I appreciated something like this. It was ages ago when I wasn’t running a billion-dollar empire. When I was in the military, I enjoyed the outdoors, camping with Beck, Linden, and Becka’s late husband, one of my brothers, Wade. He was a good man. “Let’s head back, Beck.” He scratched his head in irritation. “I know it would come u

46. Emotions
SADIE I missed that feeling of being free. The word free alone sounded foreign to my ears. When I rode a horse, it always felt like that. And it had been a while. Once I was on the horse, it came back to me naturally. Becka was so great despite losing a husband at a young age. She always found a way to live a life. “I always thought of what Wade would say if I kept crying and blamed somebody for losing him.” We rode along with the expansive ground. I was awed at the herd as I watched from the horse. “You have a great life with him, even just for a short time.” “Yeah. Wade was my first love. We’d been together since high school. You know, at first, your brother hated the guy you dated. That’s what happened to Wade and me, but he’d proven how serious he was about our relationship. He joined and enlisted with Beck later.” I smiled. It was a great love story, even if it ended abruptly. “Do you ever think of going out th

47. Watch and Dance
CENRICSince she came back from the rides with Becka, she seemed different. Carefree? Happy? “Now you’re the one who’s looking at me like that?” “How?” I looked at her. I was driving the old pickup truck of Beck but still ran like brand new. “I don’t know. Like you’re up for something.” Her smile was wicked. “Or you’re up for something, babe.” I held and squeezed her thigh. She was wearing a summer dress with western boots. “You look fantastic.” She laughed out loud. “I might have overdone this out a little.” Her smile was contagious. “You look great anyhow.” “Thanks. So what do I expect in the bar?” “Locals, beers, boys who would gawk at you as if you’re the best meat in town that I might end up getting into trouble tonight.” “Just calm your horses, cowboy. We don’t want us to get into trouble. I wanna have fun without my overprotective husband growling at me all the time. Why didn’t you invite Cas to come with us?” “I don’t growl, wife. He needs to be there in case there’s

48. The New Boss
SADIE I looked up at the Wollf Tower, where I’d be spending five days a week on the fifteenth floor. It was intimidating, and so were the people hired to work with me. Since this company was one of Cenric’s companies, he just became my boss. Jeez, he was already bossy enough. But this was life, and I was beyond grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I entered the premises, there were at least ten shelves, and everyone was already bustling. My heart started beating fast. “Good morning!” They scrammed to stand and chorused to greet me, “Good morning, Mrs. Wolff.” I smiled, drawing some confidence somewhere within. “Oh, please. You made me look like your grandmother. Drop the Mrs. Wollf. Just call me, Sadie.” Somehow, they relaxed. I entered my office. I couldn’t believe I had an office on my own. I wanted to kiss my husband and at the same time punch him. I didn’t have experience in this line of wor

49. Hot and Blown
CENRIC   Our dinner turned into hot sex against the wall. It was long and tense on the road. We barely made it to the penthouse. I was dizzy, and she was panting with needs. I touched her in the car, and she was dripping wet. As soon as the door shut behind us, I fumbled to unbuckle my belt while she was unzipping her dress. I shoved my pants and boxers down my knees, and then I grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hungrily. She moaned against our mouths. My fingers dug dip in her heat while her hand wrapped around my cock, stroking me. In one swift motion, I lifted her and pressed her against the wall, her legs around my waist securely. One thrust, I was inside her. She cried against our mouths, causing me to stop abruptly. “Did I hurt you?” “It hurt a little bit because your big, but I like it. Don’t stop, please?” She was panting. “I won’t unless you stop me, babe.” I got her hot dripping wetness

50. Burden vs. Trust
SADIE   Something is wrong. I can feel it. The tension building in the car was so thick it was choking me. It just reminded me that what I witnessed in the office had something to do with what was going on right now.  “What’s wrong, Beck?” He barely talked to me when he sent me to the office. When Linden and Devin drove Cenric to work, I had my doubts, but I kept my mouth shut. I couldn’t take it anymore. “I will be working with Cenric until Friday.” “What? Why?” I asked, confused. “Did you two get into a fight?” “We’ll talk about this later, Sadie.” “Of course.” I nodded.  I looked for Cenric as soon as I arrived at the Centh HQ. Maeve was already here for the first batch tour to The Travelers zone. “Babe?” He looked surprised. Since we woke up in the morning, I noticed something different about him. He was guarded, and it felt like he was carrying the entire universe over hi
