All Chapters of HIS TO CONQUER : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"How the hell do you know he has a tattoo on in his hip crease?"He froze, and when he regained himself, he’s a stammering mess. "Uh..I ..I just... rubbish Logan. I’m just spewing rubbish.” He looks away from me.I scoffed, "Rubbish? You think I'm an idiot don’t you? It isn’t rubbish Peter, because as a matter of fact Alexander does have a tattoo there. A broken chain link like you just accurately said. You couldn't have just pulled that out of thin air." My eyes narrowed, focusing on the bead of sweat trickling down his temple. I have to corner him so he’d confess everything.He waved his hands in the air, a desperate attempt to brush me off. "Look, I got work to do. I’m heading back to my desk." He wanted to scurry off again to avoid confrontation."You take one step out of that door and you're fired," I snarled, my voice measured. I did that to scare him and I hope it worked. I need the tea and he must give it to me. He sucked in a harsh breath, "Stop asking Logan." He forced out.

TRIGGER WARNING!!!The first thing I noticed was a loud beeping sound that was ringing in my head. Then the faint scent of antiseptic. I tried to open my eyes, but it was very hard to even breath as I kept feeling an excruciating pain in my abdomen level. I could hear weak sobbing and when my eyes finally opened, I saw my grandmother by my side with her head down, she was sobbing uncontrollably."Grandma?" My voice was a croak whisper.She gasped as she raised her head "Peter my baby, you're awake." Her voice broke, and fresh tears streamed down her face.I tried to sit up, but a sharp, searing pain ripped through my side. I hissed, falling back against the pillows. "What happened?""Hush, child, hush." She gently pressed me back down. "You were hurt, very badly. But you're safe now. The doctor stitched you up nicely dear." she smiled sadly.My hand instinctively went to my side. Beneath the bandages, I could feel the tight, prickly sensation of stitches. I looked around the room but

I couldn’t put into words how excited I was right now. We had just closed the Miller deal, after snagging a quarter of their profit. Even Mr Miller himself, that crusty old man, had actually cracked a smile. I did see it. It was for a faint second before his terrible frown returned again. Logan was happy too, but there was this dark cloud hovering over him and I knew the cause. His one and only Gavin had done something stupid again and they were fighting and making me suffer in between. It was exhausting for real. So I suggested we go to Ignito to celebrate our recent victory with Miller. "We need to blow off some steam." I said to Logan who was busy acting like a princess in need of saving.But Logan was not buying the idea as he gave that his ‘I'm too important for fun’ look. But me being me, I persisted, knowing that a night of loud music and questionable drinks was the only way to get him to loosen up. After a bit of my relentless nagging, he finally gave in.But, I also had a s

My entire body ached. Not in a bad way exactly, but like I had been run through a particularly delightful marathon. A heavy arm rested across my waist possessively, and the lingering scent of his skin..smelt so damn good. An involuntary smile tugged at my lips as I snuggled closer, burying my face in the crook of his neck, and he responded in kind, pulling me tighter into him.He was muttering something in his sleep, I opened my eyes, trying to hear the words he was saying. He was still deeply asleep, his face relaxed, but his brows were furrowed like he wasn’t having a not so pleasant dream. I strained to hear, but only got one syllable, "Gan," repeated over and over. What was he mumbling about? Gently, I reached out and touched his shoulder, trying to ease him.His eyes snapped open, and for a fleeting moment, I saw shock register on his face. Then, just as quickly, it morphed into something cold and hard, a look of pure irritation. Then he shove me hard instantly, sending me sprawl

I felt extremely restless as sleep suddenly felt like a luxury. I tossed and turned on the bed, the sheets tangling around me. What the hell was I even doing? That damned Alexandra had only recently entered my life, and already, he was throwing it into disarray. The night before, and tonight... it shouldn't have happened. I knew Alexander didn't have any genuine affection for me. I was sure I felt the same way too. But yet, there was an ache, a strange mix of hurt, jealousy, and possessiveness, warring inside me. I couldn't understand my emotions myself.~~~~~~~It was barely dawn and I hadn't slept a wink at all. I was tired but just couldn’t sleep. I dragged myself out of bed, and decided to shower and get ready for work. At least I’d be early this time. As I dressed up, my eyes caught a glimpse of a crimson mark on my neck in the mirror. I touched the spot carefully, the spot Alex had marked last night. I frowned immediately as I quickly buttoned my shirt, concealing the mark benea
