Riley’s POVThe ride to the mansion was a quiet one filled with tension. I should have known he’d find me; what was I expecting?As we drove into the house, he didn’t waste time in sliding out of the car, walking away when usually he opens the other side of the door for me, and we walked hand in hand into the house.My heart squeezed knowing I’d piss him off.“You shouldn’t have run out like that. Mr. King is very strict when it comes to security, especially you… The same thing that had happened to him when he got shot could have happened to you; your life revolves around him now, and you’re the only bait to get to him,” Ryder informs, snapping me out of my train of thoughts.“I—“ I stuttered, unable to form any coherent words.“I’ll see you tomorrow, Mrs. King.” He shortens the conversation, to which I nod, forcing a tight-lipped smile.I got out of the car and walked into the house just in time; Mr. King walked out of the kitchen holding a bottle of water.He barely gave me a five-s

Nicolas’s POVNoah and I were in the office discussing work-related important stuff when Ryder walked in.My brows furrowed knowing I didn’t call for him, which must mean an emergency; he may have found something.“What is it, Ryder?” I asked.“It’s Giovanni,” he responds instantly.“What did the motherfucker do now?” Noah growls.He cleared his throat. "We've received intel that he's been working closely with your father, Mr. King."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on."He proceeds, his expression getting darker. "It seems that your father has been secretly building a case against you, Mr. King. They're working together to take away your property and business interests. With your grandfather gone, your father believes he is the sole heir to the King’s Enterprises."My jawline hardened at the audacity of my father. For all these years he turned his back on us, and now he's suddenly back, trying to take away the company?I’d be damned to let him do that."I see," I said, my voice ev

Riley’s POVI ran out of Mr. King's office, my heart racing with hurt and anger. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Mr King and Monica, kissing in his office. I felt like I had been punched in the gut.After having a long day like usual, I’d slip out from my office to his office to clear my head, but I should have seen his betrayal coming.I could hear him yelling my name, but I ignored it, rushing to my office, shutting the door behind me, and making sure to lock it with a kiss.I leaned against the door, trying to catch my breath, and the tears started flowing. I broke into sobs, feeling like my heart was shattering into a million pieces.Why had I trusted him? Why had I thought he was different? They were all the same, men who only cared about themselves and their desires.I felt so stupid, so naive.He used me for his own game. I should have listened to Giovanni; I shouldn’t have let Mr. King Ma’s deceptive ways get to me.After all, I wasn’t in his league; it was always Mo

Riley’s POVAfter I registered what was happening, I pulled back, trying so hard to compose myself and not give in to his comfort.I needed to leave, or else I wouldn’t be able to control myself or my emotions. I didn’t want him to know how much effect it had on me seeing him kissing Monica.I tried to walk past Mr. King, who was still standing in front of my office door, his arms crossed over his chest. But he didn't budge."Excuse me," I said, trying to sound calm, but my voice trembled.My eyes were stinging with tears; I bit on my bottom lip, trying so hard not to break down, but he was making it impossible.He didn’t want to move out of my way, and that annoyed me.His gaze was blocked, more intense, and filled with so much guilt. "We should talk, Riley. What you saw wasn’t as it is, c’mon Riley, you—“I shook my head. "There's nothing to talk about. You should go back to Monica. After all, you two were enjoying each other’s company, and don’t worry about me. I think who you shou

Riley’s POVIt's hard to believe it's been two months since I got divorced and remarried to Mr. King. It feels like just yesterday I was at the hospital ready for an abortion and then Mr King walked to me soaked with blood.Time has flown by, and our relationship has only continued to blossom. Mr. Kikg has been nothing but a sweetheart, and now I can say I have fallen in love completely with Mr. King.And although I still haven’t said the words to him as he does with me, my gestures were too obvious to hide the truth.As I stand in front of the mirror, I look at my reflection, admiring the elegantly beautiful dress and king had gotten for me. I rubbed slightly on my bump, a smile spreading on my lips.I couldn’t wait to birth the bundle of joy; I can imagine how much happiness it would bring to our lives.The woman staring back at me is nothing compared to the woman I was after getting my heart broken by Asher. I’ve struggled to put my past with Asher behind me, and I’m glad I did.I

Riley’s POVMr. King excused himself to talk to a business acquaintance. After today’s confession, I’ve been unreasonably clingy, almost like he wasn’t real and would disappear if I let him go.I let him go, allowing him to enjoy his night and celebrate his achievement, he deserved as much, and I used that as an opportunity to slip away unnoticed.The room was crowded and noisy, and I felt a sudden need for some fresh air, feeling a little bit too much suffocated.I made sure Mr. King didn’t have his attention on me, or he wouldn’t let me leave; that I was so sure of.I finally reached the French doors leading out to the poolside and slipped outside, closing the doors behind me.I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding as the cold night air brushed on my skin.I walked to the garden, relishing the sensation.I hear hush tunes as I approach the garden.I noticed two figures standing in the shadows, near the pool house. They were arguing in hushed tones, but I could tell it was a

Riley’s POV The ride home was filled with tension both of us on the edge in dying need of one another but to avoid risking both our lives we chewed on patience. Mr King drove fast as though we were in a tracker race. I wanted to tell him to slow down but somehow the thought about having him inside of me filled my head making me crave for him more. As we we pulled up the mansion, he didn’t waste time in getting out and walked to to my side helping me out. My eyes bored into his as he took my hands the electric shock running down my spine. "Thank you," I said, smiling up at him. He smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. As we marched into the house taking in the greetings of his worker his grip on me became much more firm. I gulped on lump as finally reached the parlor. "I've been waiting all night to do this," he said, his voice low and husky. Before I could respond, he took me in his arms, claiming my lips in a passionate kiss. I was cut off guard but it didn’t tak

Nicolas’s POVI woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.I growled moving Riley a little bit to the side to avoid waking her up. It was Ryder.I grabbed it fast, my heart beating hard. "Boss, we found them," Ryder said. His voice was serious. "We know who attacked you that night at the hospital." I sat up straight, my body tense. "Who are they?" "The same people who are after Riley now," Ryder said. My blood ran cold. Riley. They wanted her too. The thought made my hands shake.I couldn’t let anything happen to her. I stole a glance at her sleeping figure letting out breath before clutching on my phone and getting up.“Listen to me Ryder, arrange the best guards. I want her monitored 24/7 and she must not know she’s been watched… nothing just go wrong, not a strand of her hair should be harmed” I warned "Yes master, she’ll be safe” I let out a slow breath. Good. But it wasn’t enough. I needed to send this war, the sooner I do that the better. I can’t afford to be l

Riley’s POV I sat at my desk, staring at the papers in front of me. Words blurred together. Numbers made no sense. My hands shook as I tried to focus, but my mind wouldn’t stay still. It had been five days. Five days since Nicolas left. Five days with no calls, no texts, nothing. I bit my lip hard, trying to stop the tears before they came. But it was no use. My chest hurt. My throat burned. Where was he? Was he okay? Did he just… leave me? I dropped the pen in my hand and covered my face. The office was quiet too quiet. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. A sob ripped out of me, loud and ugly. Tears spilled down my cheeks, hot and fast. I cried like my heart was being torn in half. Because it was. The last time I saw Nicolas, he had kissed me like he never wanted to let go. His hands were everywhere, his voice rough in my ear, whispering things that made me melt. We spent the whole night tangled together, breathless, desperate. And then… he was gone.

Riley’s POVAs Asher walked out I rushed to get the tv remote switching it on with a heavy heart hoping what he said was a lie cause I couldn’t bring myself to belive that Nicolas would do this to me.I stopped on a news channel. My heart dropped. My whole body froze. There it was a picture of Nicolas holding hands with a beautiful woman. The headline screamed: "BILLIONAIRE NICOLAS KING TO MARRY THAILAND PRESIDENT’S DAUGHTER, PRINCESS AMARA."My hands shook. My vision blurred. No. No, this couldn’t be real. But it was. There he was, smiling at her like she was his whole world. The same smile he used to give me. The same eyes that looked into mine and said, "I love you, Riley." I fell to my knees. My chest hurt so bad I couldn’t breathe. Tears poured down my face, hot and fast. No wonder he wasn’t picking up my calls.No wonder he stopped replying to my messages.He was with her.He was marrying her. All this time, I thought he was busy. I trusted him. I believed h
