Apollo My body moved before my mind could even begin to understand what had happened. I caught her as she fell. The sound of people shouting, of my mother-in-law crying, of officers grabbing Sarah again, everything became distant noise, like echoes underwater. None of it reached me. The only thing that existed was the weight of Grace collapsing into my arms. Her body felt colder than it should have. “Grace,” I breathed, but my voice did not sound like mine. I lowered us both to the ground carefully, cradling her against my chest as if I could shield her from the damage that had already been done. Her breathing, which had been steady moments ago, was slowing beneath my hand that was still on her stomach. I pressed my palm there instinctively, shaking my head as if denial alone could reverse reality. “No… no…” I had always been a man who never struggled to distinguish dreams from reality, even when my life had been full of nightmares disguised as truth, but in this moment I wis

Apollo Laughter echoed through the hallway. “Daddy! Daddy! You’re back!” A small figure came running toward me at full speed. I looked down just in time to see my daughter, her black hair bouncing wildly and her gray eyes shining with excitement, as she threw herself straight into my legs. I could not stop the smile that appeared on my face as I bent down and lifted her into my arms. I was about to say something when another voice came from behind her. “Hannah! How many times have I told you not to run like that? You’re six years old now. If you fall and hurt yourself, what then?” I looked up. Grace was walking toward us, one hand supporting her very round stomach, the other pressed lightly against her lower back as she tried to catch her breath. Even heavily pregnant, she still moved with that elegance that had always drawn my eyes to her. When she reached us, she blinked and raised an eyebrow. “Apollo, you’re back earlier than I expected.” I adjusted Hannah in my

GraceI stood in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection quietly, tilting my head slightly as my gaze traveled over the dress Eleanor had eventually forced me to wear.The gown was an elegant deep red that hugged my body perfectly, the off-shoulder design revealing my collarbones while delicate floral sleeve details wrapped softly around my arms, making the entire dress look both graceful and dramatic at the same time. The bodice was fitted tightly around my waist before flowing down into a smooth satin skirt that brushed against the floor with every movement, and the high slit at the front revealed one of my legs whenever I shifted my weight, giving the entire outfit a far more glamorous look than anything I would normally wear for something as simple as a family gathering.My hair had been curled into soft waves that cascaded all the way down to my waist, and Eleanor had insisted on doing my makeup herself, keeping it natural but refined enough to highlight my features.I st

Grace The first thing I saw when I walked down the aisle was a pair of beautiful hazel eyes. They locked onto me immediately, so intensely that it felt as if the entire world around us had disappeared, leaving only the two of us standing there.My heart skipped a beat.Apollo Reed was staring at me as if I was the only thing that existed in his universe.For a moment, I almost forgot how to breathe. It was finally happening.I was getting married, and not just to anyone. I was getting married to the man who could change the course of an entire country with a single word. The man whose name alone could make powerful people tremble. The man that the world respected and feared in equal measure.Apollo Reed.The man I had once thought was colder than ice. The man I now could no longer imagine living without.My fingers tightened around the bouquet in my hands, and only then did I realize that my palms were sweating. My heart was pounding so loudly inside my chest that I was certain every

Grace I opened the door and stepped inside, and my breath caught instantly. My eyes went wide as I looked around. From the outside, it looked small and simple, but the inside was warm, and beautiful. Cozy in a way that made me happy. My lips curved into a smile. I couldn’t wait to spend our honeymoon here.I turned, about to ask, “What do you want to do first—”But before I could finish, he was on me. Apollo’s lips slammed against mine, and I gasped, completely taken aback. My hands flew up, wrapping around his neck, clutching at him as he pressed me flush against his chest. His hands slid around my waist, pulling me close. The warmth of him made my knees weaken, and I felt myself melting into him instantly.I moaned into the kiss, letting him take the lead, my fingers threading into his hair, tugging lightly. His hands slid down my back, over my hips, and then to my thighs. I felt that familiar spark, and signal of what he wanted, and I didn’t hesitate. I jumped, instinctively, an
