All Chapters of His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride•: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Author's POV The room was thick with tension. Their lips were still locked together as Xavier pushed the door open and they stumbled inside, kissing each other as though it would be their last. The lingering heat from their passionate moments in the car still clung to them, leaving Iris breathless.The fire between them still burned fiercely. Ever since the doctor had told them not to be intimate, staying away from each other had become almost impossible. Even in that heated moment, Xavier carefully guided Iris to sit on the bed, making sure not to put any pressure on her. He reluctantly pulled away from the kiss before he completely lost himself to the consuming desire. Resting his forehead against hers, he took a slow, unsteady breath."You are a fucking goddess... Iru," he whispered, trying to steady his breathing.Iris slowly opened her eyes."Why are you like this, Xavier?" she asked softly, never breaking eye contact.The man standing before her wore the most innocent expressio

Author's POV Alexander hurried out, trying to catch up with Elle."Elle, stop!" he called, but she didn't stop or even look back.Alexander looked far from giving up. "Elle, I said stop! We can solve this!" he shouted.Elle ignored him and kept walking. She was only a few steps away from the main door, but before she could reach it, the door slammed shut in front of her, forcing her to stop.She didn't turn around immediately. Her eyes remained fixed on the closed door. Then she spun around sharply, raising her hand with a gun pointed toward Alexander."Alexander, tell them to open the door," she threatened.Alexander's gaze fell on the gun pointed at him, but he didn't stop. Instead, he took another step toward Elle."Stop!" she screamed, her grip tightening around the weapon. "I'm really going to shoot!"He didn't even flinch."Why are you doing this?" he asked quietly, closing the distance between them.Tears welled in Elle's eyes as she shook her head. "Can't you see?" she cried.

Author's POV "What made you think you and this little dirt could escape from here?"The man's cold voice echoed through the room as he stepped inside.A thick cloud of smoke curled around him as he took one last drag from his cigarette before flicking it onto the floor and crushing it beneath his shoe.Two men forced Elle to her knees, pinning her arms behind her back.He crouched in front of her, gripping her chin so hard it hurt."Bitch," he hissed through clenched teeth. "Didn't I tell you to finish her?"Elle glared at him without an ounce of fear."I did everything you asked," she said, her voice steady despite the blood running down the side of her face. "You promised you'd let my sister go. Instead, you used both of us."She jerked her face out of his grip."I'm done taking orders from you." Her eyes burned with hatred as she stared straight into his."And listen to me carefully," she warned. "You chose the wrong target this time. If anything happens to Iris, Xavier will erase

Author's POV "It's a boy!"The announcement echoed through the hall.Chairs scraped against the floor as everyone jumped to their feet, cheering and clapping. Xavier stood beside Iris, his arm immediately tightening around her as the celebration erupted around them.A series of celebratory gunshots rang through the air, making Iris flinch slightly. Xavier instinctively pulled her closer, shielding her with his body, laughter, cheers, and applause filled the hall as everyone celebrated the news.After the gender reveal ceremony, Xavier and Iris finally stepped outside for some fresh air.They walked slowly along the green garden, away from the noise and excitement.Iris suddenly looked up at him."Are you happy?" she asked softly."Yes. More than anything," he answered, his fingers gently intertwining with hers.Then he looked at her."Are you?""I don't know," Iris admitted.Xavier's steps slowed."Everything is happening so fast..." she continued, her voice soft. "Our past holds so

Iris’s POVLife had given me so many wounds that I didn't even know where to begin counting them. It had brought me to my knees more times than I could remember. And every time I thought I had finally found something worth holding on to, life found a way to take it from me, I had lost so much… slowly… painfully.Until there was almost nothing left."Iris..." A faint voice pulled me from my thoughts.My fingers tightened around the rough hand in mine as I felt it slowly slipping away from me."Please, rest for a little while. You need it."I turned toward Xavier, He had been sitting beside me the entire time, never leaving my side."No." My voice trembled. "I can't."

I could feel myself losing control, the fear, pain, and exhaustion crashing over me
