All Chapters of After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

She typed a reply. Deleted it. Typed another. Erased it. Anxiety twisted in her stomach like cold, cruel fingers. She called once. Twice. Again. No answer. Panic coiled tighter. She didn’t think. She waved down a cab without registering the motion. Inside, she gripped her purse, knuckles white, watching the city streak by. Red lights dragged on, seconds stretching painfully. Every heartbeat was a drumbeat in her skull. The cab stopped. She bolted out before the driver could finish speaking. The door to her parents’ house hung slightly ajar. Her stomach dropped. “Mom?” Her voice cracked as she stepped inside. Dark. Too dark. She flipped the light switch. Nothing. Another. Weak flickers, pale shadows dancing over familiar furniture. “Dad?” Her voice broke. Silence answered. Fear rose in her chest, cold and sharp. She moved room to room, heart hammering. The house, usually a sanctuary, felt alien—empty, silent, waiting. Her breath came short and shallow. In the kitc

Jade’s feet moved without permission. Cold metal snapped around her wrists. Click. “You’re under arrest.” Scarlett lunged, screaming, face twisted with triumph and fury. “She’ll pay! I’ll make sure she pays!” Officers restrained her. Jade didn’t look at Scarlett again. She looked at Kain. Their eyes locked. His were dark. Furious. Promising. This wasn’t the end. Not even close. ** A WEEK LATER** KAIN WOLF’S PENTHOUSE ~ Scarlett kept her spine straight while the stylist worked, shoulders loose, chin tilted just enough to signal confidence without trying too hard. The chair beneath her was plush and imported. The room smelled like citrus disinfectant and money. Blow dryers hummed in obedient harmony. Brushes whispered through hair like secrets. Everything was controlled. She watched herself in the mirror. Mint-green silk slid over her body, the robe catching light every time she moved. Her legs were long, toned, crossed with elegant precision. The clay mask co

My fiancée. The rest is fiction.” The journalist turned to Scarlett. “Your response?” Scarlett didn’t hesitate. “I am not my sister,” she said calmly, each word precise. “We are not close. I don’t know her.” She lifted her chin. “And I won’t be compared to her.” Kain’s hand brushed hers—brief, almost accidental. “Scarlett is my bride,” he added. “I am a man of my word.” Cameras clicked

Her thoughts scrambled, desperate and panicked. How did it get there? Who touched my things? She felt eyes on her—burning, heavy. Kain. She didn’t look at him, but she felt him anyway. Like gravity. Like home she wasn’t allowed to reach. “Objection!” her lawyer snapped. “This is circumstantial. There is no proof my client placed that weapon there.” The gavel struck, but the murmurs didn’t stop. Jade forced herself to lift her head and meet the jury’s eyes. I didn’t do this. Someone is destroying me. Her hands shook, but she didn’t cry. Not here. Not like this. Then— A chair scraped. Kain stood. The sound of it echoed louder than the gavel. Jade’s heart slammed into her ribs. “Your Honor,” he said, voice low and unyielding, “I can provide an alibi for Miss Jade Miller.” The room exploded in gasps. Scarlett turned sharply, disbelief flashing across her face. “I was with her that night,” Kain continued. “She couldn’t have been involved.” Jade’s breath left her in a bro

Her face pressed into his chest, tears soaking through his shirt, hot and unstoppable. “I’m here,” he said quietly, steady even as something burned in his chest. “I’ve got you. You’re not alone.” She clung to him like he was the only solid thing left. And for once, he didn’t push her away. ~LATER Kain walked the lawyer into the corridor. Hospital lights buzzed overhead. The air smelled like disinfectant and waiting. “Thank you,” Kain said. “For everything.” “There’s one thing left,” the lawyer replied. “Her clearance forms.” “I’ll have them signed.” The lawyer shook his head. “That won’t be possible, Mr. Wolf. Only a family member can.” Kain’s jaw tightened. “They’ve already been sent,” the lawyer continued. “To her sister. And her aunt.” . . “No response,” the lawyer said, his voice flat. “She has no one else,” Kain replied, low and steady. “Her sister won’t sign. There’s… tension.” “There’s no other option,” the lawyer said softly, then hesitated. “Unless… you’re fa
