All Chapters of Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Sarah I had never really been the type to play games. Well, at least not until everything changed. Not until I had to fight tooth and nail to keep Daniel safe. He was all I had left, and I would do anything for him… even if that meant getting my hands a little dirty.Jacob was a problem. He wasn’t just some clueless guy caught up in our mess… or with Daniel.He wasn’t someone who stumbled into a situation that wasn't his doing. Jacob knew too much. He had access to secrets from our past that could ruin my family… secrets about my father’s wrongdoings, about the loss of our older brother, who meant everything to us. And the worst part was, he didn’t even realize the power that knowledge gave him.He thought he was stuck in the middle, but he represented so much more. He was a weapon. If he ever decided to talk, if he ever spilled the truth, everything we’d worked so hard to build for Daniel and everything our family had fought to keep hidden would come crashing down.I couldn’t l

RichardSarah used me. She always had. From the moment she realized I had feelings for Jacob, she knew exactly how to manipulate me. It was too easy. I was a total pushover. Honestly, it was kind of pathetic. She’d flash that charming smile, make promises she had no intention of keeping, and dangle something just out of reach… always teasing me enough to think I could grab it…and I took the bait every time.I can still picture that night she invited me over. Her perfume lingered in the hallway… sharp, with a floral yet dangerous edge. All I wanted was to feel needed, to feel like I mattered. And she gave me that, but just enough to reel me back in deeper.She knew how much I still wanted Jacob. Even after all these years and despite everything I’d done, all the hurt I caused him, she could tell I hadn’t moved on. Late at night, I’d replay her words in my head. “I need you.” Those two little words were everything I’d been waiting for. I jumped at the chance right away, my heart rac

Jacob Daniel's words lingered long after he left. “I love you, Jacob.” So simple yet so powerful. Like thunder rattling in my chest.I sat on the edge of my bed for what felt like hours. The door was slightly ajar, letting in the sounds and breezes from outside, but inside, my world felt quiet. Numb.His voice carried significance… like a promise. A warning.I just wasn't prepared to hear it.Not like that.Not now.I thought about Nathan. I had once told him I loved him, and I meant it. I thought I still did. But honestly, I couldn't even recognize what love looked like anymore. Maybe it was just familiarity. Maybe it was loyalty. Or perhaps it was confusion… fire, like the kind Daniel ignited wherever he went.Could I really trust him?That was the question spinning in my mind. Could I trust Daniel, the man who had hurt me, lied to me, and shattered me into pieces I was still struggling to put back together?Could I actually forgive him?He claimed he had changed. Better. That he

Jacob I didn’t knock. I couldn’t. My hands were trembling too much. So, I leaned against the doorframe of Daniel’s apartment and waited. I must’ve looked a sight… puffy eyes, cracked lips, and the reflection of heartbreak etched on my face.When he opened the door, his expression switched from surprise to concern so fast it nearly shattered me. He didn’t ask any questions. He just pulled me right inside.Once the door shut, I crumpled against him.I didn’t intend to cry. I never thought I would. But the tears hit me suddenly, flowing down my cheeks like a punishment. And Daniel…he didn’t say a word. He just held me.His arms wrapped around me, as if he was trying to piece together every broken fragment of me. His hand glided up and down my back slowly, comforting and steady. For the first time in days, I allowed myself to completely fall apart.I buried my face in his chest, inhaling a scent I knew all too well. It was something dark yet soft all at once. It took me back to nigh

Kenny It’d been months now since I last saw him. My cousin, Jake’s boyfriend.Nathan.I truly never thought I would see him again. I thought last time in the back alley of our favorite bar, was the last time we would ever get to see each other.He wanting to always run back to Jake. And I always letting him, even though it was the last thing I wanted.But days came and he kept showing up. It wasn’t like he ever told me he loved me because he didn’t. But the way he looked at me, and how his fingers grazed mine when no one else was watching… it felt like he was trying to say something without using words. He didn’t need to say them. Because I understood.Still, there was a nagging feeling that I was playing a game I shouldn’t be in. It was almost like I was stealing something from my cousin, Jacob, every time Nathan came to me. Jacob had no clue. He wouldn’t have suspected it. And that was the whole idea. I never planned on falling for Nathan in the process. Not even a little.
