Semua Bab HIS TO CONQUER : Bab 101 - Bab 110

The prickling sensation on the back of my neck intensified as I slowly turned around, the silence stretching out like a drawn bowstring, with the arrow about to be released. But before I could complete the rotation, before I could confirm the presence of whatever was lurking behind me, the blare of a car horn startled the hell out of me. I was practically jumping on my heels at the sound.I whipped my head around, my heart hammering against my ribs, but then relief flooded through me. It was Gavin's car, its headlights cutting through the dim light. I let out a shaky breath and quickly walked over, my footsteps echoing with my hurried steps.I opened the car door and slid inside carefully.Gavin gave me a searching look, his brow furrowed with concern. "You okay?" he asked, "You looked terrified when I honked. Did something happen?" He shifted closer.I forced a laugh, trying to brush off the lingering fear. "Yeah I'm fine. I’m just a bit jumpy, being alone in the parking lot was...yo

I stuttered. “My… shares?” I was genuinely surprised that he had it with him. Was he taking more shares again? It can’t be. “I don’t… I don’t understand.” I said completely confused.Gavin simply offered a small, almost hesitant smile and extended the document further. I took it, my fingers brushing against his. I unfolded it, my eyes scanning the content. My breath hitched as I read the whole content of the first page. I blinked, once, twice, trying to make sense of it. “Gavin,” I began, my voice thick with disbelief, “are you… are you serious about this? About giving me all my shares back?”He nodded, his gaze steady and sincere. “Turn the page Logan.”My fingers trembled slightly as I flipped the document. The next page detailed the transfer of ownership, not just of the shares, but of the entirety of my inheritance, the properties, the assets, every damn thing that Pierce owned. My jaw dropped. It was a complete and unconditional handover. It was… everything.Words failed me. A

~ Peter’s POV ~My grin was practically splitting my face as I listened to Logan. “I’m so happy for you really.” I said with pure joy.Then, a shuffling sound came through the speaker, followed by a possessive voice that could only belong to Gavin. “Peter,” he said, “You’ve had your moment. Now you are not to disturb us for the rest of the night. Understood?” And just like that, the line went dead.I chuckled, shaking my head. Oh, I knew exactly what Gavin was planning. The man had been practically vibrating with suppressed romantic energy ever since he had bought those rings, which I helped him pick by the way. He was about to buy a gigantic diamond stone instead. Ugh! Such a clueless brute. A slow smile spread across my face as I placed my phone on the counter and turned my attention back to the set table.Alexander would be here any minute for dinner. I had kept dinner light, knowing Alex wasn’t a fan of anything too heavy after a long day at work. The aroma of my food filled the

“We can finally live the life we deserve Peter.” Her voice pricked at my ear drums.Her touch felt like a violent burn, as if I had grasped hot metal. I recoiled instantly, yanking my hand away with an irritated expression. I could feel my skin crawl and itch all at the same time. My heart was the worst. It was like it wanted to combust. “Peter?” she said surprised. “Are you alright?” She reached out again, her brow furrowed, but instinct took over as I slapped her hand away, the force of it surprising even myself. “Don’t touch me,” I choked out, the words laced with a fear I didn’t understand.Alex, who had been a silent all this while, reacted instantly as his hands settled lightly on my shoulders, to reassure me that he was here and I at least still had an ally.Her breath hitched, it came out ragged and uneven. “Peter, why are you… why are you reacting like this?” Her eyes, the same shade of warm brown I remembered, now held shock and hurt.My jaw clenched so tight it ached and

“Hello brother,” he drawled, the last word dripping with a mocking sarcasm that made my blood run cold. Before I could even process the shock, my back was slammed against the car with force.“Jaxon! What the hell are you doing here?” I gasped, my eyes wide with disbelief and a dawning sense of danger. I shouldn’t be here alone with him. He grinned, as his eyes were bloodshot. “I have been trying to reach my dear little brother for weeks now. But your precious Peter has been quite the effective gatekeeper, hasn’t he?”My gaze flickered downwards, no wonder I haven’t been getting those weird text. Peter was keeping him away without me knowing. I could already guess that it was Jaxon sending those messages. Only two people has called me disgusting gay. Stephen Cove and Jaxon. And Jaxon was my biggest guess. Jaxon’s smile widened, “So Logan. How have you been? Enjoying the fruits of your… newfound happiness?”“I’m fine Jaxon.” I attempted to straighten up, but he continued to block my m
