บททั้งหมดของ HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance): บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

Meadow’s POV: Once, while we were still teenagers, Juniper had tried to get me in trouble. I was sick and had to miss school, but I found out that Juniper had gone to school dressed at me and caused a hell of a ruckus at school that day.Made out with a boy who had a crush on me and made sure they were caught, and after she was sent to the principal’s office, she instead went to the bathroom to smoke.Long story short, if Nova hadn’t been there at school that day, I would’ve gotten suspended for things that I didn’t do. But thankfully, she was. And she called Juniper out and claimed my innocence. My sister ended up being the one suspended.Yeah… that was one of the major reasons Juniper hated Nova so much—though not as much as she hated me. Nova had always been there for me, defending me against my sister, being there for me during hard fucking times and somehow still managing to keep her own mental health in tact. I loved Nova so much, and it’s why I refused to pick up the phone wh

Meadow’s POV: I’d been here a few times before, when I was still in a relationship with Tyler and he used to make me come meet him here or wait for him.It felt different now, though.Maybe because I was going as the CEO’s wife, and not an employee’s little girlfriend or fiance.I didn’t text Alaric to let him know I was on my way, and as I stepped out of the car, I wished I had. But I was already here. And I needed to speak to my husband.I turned to face Trip, and then paused. He hadn’t gotten out of the car.“What?” I breathed. “You’re not coming in with me?”Trip smirked. “Not my territory. The moment you step through those doors, you’re the boss’s problem, not mine.”I shot him a glare, rolling my eyes so far back into my head. “Great. The one moment I need you to be clingy and that’s when you decide to pull back,” I muttered, turning to stare up at the building.It looked as tall and magnificent as it was the first time I came here.A shiver ran down my spine. I was anxious, n

Alaric’s POV: This wasn’t how I wanted Tyler to find out that I was married to Meadow—the woman he mistreated.But fucking hell, this was way better than I thought it would be.Perfect.The expression on Cross’s face as he froze, his hand in the air—the same hand that was about to hit my wife, the way his jaw dropped open… it was all worth it. Every single thing we had been doing up to this moment.Fucking worth it.“Sir…” he breathed, brows pulling together in confusion. “This is—”“My wife. And like I just said—if you so much as lay a finger on her, I’ll do a whole lot more than just caressing your little finger with an empty bottle of bourbon.” Just for impact, I let my gaze drop to the bandage wrapped around his pinkie finger—the one I nearly broke the other day.Tyler swallowed, a look of bewilderment on his face as he retracted his hand. If he was bewildered by just this, then he had no fucking idea what was coming.He put his hands on her.“I don’t… I don’t understand what’s g

Alaric’s POV: I wasn’t sure what I was expecting Meadow to say to me. But anything would’ve been less surprising than this.Anything.“What?” I pulled back to look at her properly—at the wild look in her eyes, the tears that had gathered but refused to fall. “What do you mean you killed your mother? Why would you say that?”“I…” Meadow’s bottom lip quivered. “I can’t… I didn’t know how to tell you so I just—” Her breathing turned shallow, and with the way she was trying not to cry, I could tell that she was about to have a panic attack.My chest tightened. “Hey, hey, look at me, baby,” I rasped, gently gripping her chin so she was looking at me. “I’m here, alright? There’s nothing you need to be scared of. You can tell me anything. You know that.”Meadow nodded fiercely as tears slowly slid down her cheeks. “I know, I just—”“Want me to take you home so we can talk about it?” I asked, pushing her hair away from her delicate face. I wasn’t sure of a lot of things, but one thing I was

Meadow’s POV: “Your ex-boyfriend here doesn’t realize exactly how screwed he is, baby,” Alaric murmured, pushing his foot down harder against Tyler’s chest. “You tried to assault my wife right after you played in her face, you called her on the phone and threatened her… if only you knew how close to death you were that night, Cross. You can ask Meadow. I bent her over my desk and she asked me to punish her instead.”I froze. He was referring to the night he whipped me with his belt. Alaric didn’t glance at me before he continued, something dark lacing his tone. “And I did. I punished her in place of you. And I’m not saying I didn’t fucking enjoy it, but the fact that she took a punishment for your undeserving ass made me want to end you even more.”My throat thickened and I rose to my feet. Alaric looked at me then, something dark and lustful in his gaze as he scraped it over my body before refocusing on Tyler.“But you treating Meadow like shit wasn’t the only reason I wanted to des
