All Chapters of HIS DOE, HIS DAMNATION(An Erotic Billionaire Romance): Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Meadow’s POV: My stomach dropped so fast that I thought I might throw up. Juniper was here.Why the hell was she here? How on earth did she even know where Alaric lived?“How…” I trailed off, not knowing what to say. “What the hell is she doing here?”When I looked up at Alaric, his brows were drawn together. “No idea, but…” He trailed off, squinting at something. “Can you see the ring on her finger?”He clicked on something and the camera angle changed so I could see her more clearly as she ran a hand through her hair.With a gasp, I quickly sat up, raising my hand to my face as if I didn’t already have my ring on.“What the…”The ring on Juniper’s ring finger looked exactly like mine. Exactly. Like. Mine. Somehow, Juniper had gone to replicate the ring that Alaric had given me. “Alaric…” I whispered, shaking my head at him.“What is she doing?” He muttered, rising to his feet as the doorbell rang again. My grip tightened around his phone as I noticed everything else about her. J

CHAPTER 0173Meadow’s POV:I didn’t think I’d ever seen my sister look like this.Shocked.To be fair, there was nothing special about it. We were practically mirrors of each other so I already knew what her surprised face looked like. But seeing Juniper like this? It had never happened before.And right now, all I could say was that it was all worth it.It scared me for a bit—the way she was so good at pretending to be me. Anyone who didn’t know me that well would fall for it.“Meadow?” Juniper gasped loudly, the shock of it all forcing her to take a few steps backward. She turned to Alaric, a look of betrayal in her eyes, and all he did was smirk at her.I chewed on the corner of my lip. “You didn’t really think my own husband would fall for your lies now, did you?”She glared at me and a chuckle slipped from my mouth. “I mean, I know I dared you, but I didn’t think you’d actually try to seduce my husband by pretending to be me, and then think he'd be so stupid to fall for it.”Juni

CHAPTER 0175Alaric’s POV: I had no doubt that my girl was going to stand up for herself against her sister. But she completely exceeded my expectations, even though I had no idea what I was expecting.Watching her finally show her sister that she was her own person, independent, powerful… it made my heart swell more than it ever had before. However, seeing her break down in my arms shattered a part of me.I couldn’t imagine losing Nolan the way she had lost Juniper—then again, Nolan wasn’t as psychotic as Juniper was. “You’re okay, baby,” I murmured into her ear as she soaked my shirt with her tears. I wished I could make it stop. I wanted to make it stop, but this was necessary for Meadow. She needed to let it all out.“I hate her,” she choked out. “God, I hate her so much. I wish she would just…”“I know,” I whispered. “I know. Your sister has a lot of problems, Meadow. Standing your ground was all you needed to do to get her to leave since she wasn’t ready to change for the bett

Meadow’s POV: I hated this. Hated feeling unsure about something. And of course, I could’ve told Alaric about this, but he was going to assure me.And I trusted him, but I didn’t want to be assured.Not by him, anyway.My gaze shifted to my phone on the table, and I thought of a million reasons why I shouldn't do what I was about to do.But no matter what I thought of, the solution remained the same.Shoving out one final, anxious breath, I picked up the phone and scrolled through my contacts to click on the name I was looking for.It rang thrice before she answered.“Well, this is a surprise,” Clarissa said in a sickly sweet tone. “I didn’t even think you had my number—”“What’s your game play?” I cut her mid-sentence, as I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.“Game play?” she asked, seeming genuinely confused. “What do you mean by that?”Something twisted in my stomach. “I know you, Aunt Yvonne. You’re not one to give up so easily, and I’m not going to believe that you agreed to back

Alaric’s POV:I gave my mother one last hard stare before I took out my phone and held it against my ear. “Talk,” I muttered, turning my back on her.A few seconds passed while I was waiting for Trip to say something. Static crackled on the other end. “Trip?”The next thing I heard was the sound of his heavy, uneven breathing. It was ragged, like he was in some sort of pain.My grip tightened around the phone. “Sir,” Trip’s voice came out strained, like he was using all of his energy to speak. Everything inside of me suddenly went stone cold.Something was wrong.“What happened?” I demanded. My body felt too tight, every instinct screaming at me to act. But I couldn’t fucking act if Trip didn’t say anything.“I—fuck,” he hissed. “Tyler. Tyler Cross. He fucking shot me.”I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying my damnedest to remain calm. “What the fuck do you mean Tyler shot you? Where are you?”Behind me, my mother gasped, but I didn’t turn around to face her.“Car,” he breathed.
