Chapter 71 Controlling and overbearing

“I just wanted to leave the city for a while, just to clear my head,” she said, returning the hug.“You could have at least sent a text, I called you over a hundred tunes Elara…I thought something bad had happened to you,” I finally pulled away from the hug so I could see her face.“I'm sorry,” she apologised without hesitation.I should be mad at her for leaving me hanging but I just couldn't bring myself to do that.“Where exactly have you bee…” She interrupted me mid sentence as her hands slipped to the back of my neck, pulling me in for a kiss, but I found myself holding back as I stopped her.But she pushed harder, pulling me close to her with even more strength I had to stand up to evade the kiss.“Elara,” I spoke softly. “What's going on?”Yes, I wanted to kiss her, but I couldn't help but notice something…off.A foreign expression flickered across her face for a split second but long enough for me to catch it before it was quickly replaced with her usual bubbly look.“I just

Chapter 72 I'm not complaining

For a second, it was like I had forgotten how to breathe.It felt like a dream I’d replayed a thousand times in my head was finally bleeding into my reality. Her lips were warm, real, not just a figment of my imagination or a fantasy.My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it almost hurt.This couldn’t be happening, but it was.I’d imagined this moment on nights I felt lonely, longing for her touch, imagining what it would feel like if she ever chose me. If she ever looked at me the way I looked at her.And now here she was kissing me, bringing my long awaited desire to life.My hands moved before my mind could catch up, gripping her waist, pulling her closer like I was scared she would change her mind.The softness of the kiss didn’t last. It couldn’t. Not with the way my body reacted. Not with the way my chest felt like it was going to explode.I kissed her back, hungry, desperate, my restraint undoing all at onceIt felt surreal. Like I was standing inside a dream I didn’t deserv

Chapter 73 The big reveal

*****Axel's POV *****I flipped through the documents Knox gave me, desperately searching for answers, I already knew what was going on…that phone call confirmed it.But I need to know how it happened, how she has stayed under my radar for so long.The door to my office flew open banging against the door stopper and my eyes sped to the door as she walked in.“I sounded good over the phone right? I was starting to forget how good Dorian was in bed,” her voice was low, a mischievous smile forming on her lips as she folded her arms against her chest.But I didn't say a word, she was trying to trigger me, and I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction.She took a couple steps closer, strutting like a peacock. “Not going to say anything? Still trying to process that your brother f*cked your wife and made her c*m over and over agai….”“Oh shut up Azura, cut the f*cking act, it's getting boring,” I cut her off.She stopped for a second, and scoffed, shaking her head slowly.“Well, there g

Chapter 74 This is your fault

Her smile was the last thing I saw before she moved.She climbed onto the window ledge taking a swift glance below, before lifting herself off without a second thought and disappearing into the night completely.My vision blurred, my head spinning as the sound of footsteps rushed in from outside and the door flew open in a bang.Voices filled the room, but none of it registered, none of it mattered, I couldn't focus on anything else but...her...standing right behind Dorian.And just like that…everything else faded.The pain, the noise, the blood soaking through my clothes, all of it disappeared into nothing as my eyes locked on her green eyes which was just like Dorian's, but warmer… Blonde hair.My whole body went numb...I recognised her instantly, it didn't feel like I was staring at a stranger, or like someone I had to figure out, no…this was someone I knew, someone I had always known, and the way she was looking at me told me she felt the same.“Axel…” she whispered softly.And th

Chapter 75 Airhead

She was still smiling at me when I realised my hand was still cupping her face.A quiet chuckle slipped out of me as I slowly dropped my hands, shaking my head a little like I still couldn't believe it. “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to hear those words.”Skye’s smile softened, her fingers still loosely holding onto mine like she couldn't get enough of this moment too.“I’ve been searching for you both for years,” she said, glancing between me and Dorian. “And When I finally found you, I just… I didn’t know how to approach you. I found you both months ago actually, but I kept hanging around from a distance.”My brows pulled together slightly. “Months?”She nodded, a small nervous laugh leaving her. “Yeah. I kept thinking… what if you didn’t want to see me? What if I just showed up and it ruined everything?”I scoffed quietly, leaning back slightly against the bed. “Skye… I’ve been trying to find you for years. There is no way in this world you showing up would have ruine

Chapter 76 Your perfect little life

*****Elara’s POV*****A soft groan slipped out of my lips as my eyes fluttered open.Everything felt heavy, my head, my limbs… even my eyelids.I blinked slowly, trying to adjust, but the same disgusting sight came into view again.The horrid looking room I'd been trapped in since I was taken.Cobwebs clung to the corners of the ceiling, swaying slightly like they had a life of their own. The walls were worse… paint peeling off roughly along the walls, revealing patches of green mold and moss that crawled out of the cracks like fungus.The smell alone was enough to make my stomach turn.I lifted my hands weakly… but they dropped back onto the thin mattress almost immediately.I exhaled slowly, staring up at the ceiling.For days I've been hoping to speak to someone, anyone, just to understand what was going on, but I was completely left alone with my own thoughts.A shaky breath left me as I forced myself up, the bed creaking loudly under my weight.My fingers curled into a fist ins

Chapter 77 I'll cut your hand off

My head snapped to the side as the sting exploded across my cheek.My hand slowly came up to my face, touching the spot as I turned back to look at her, completely consumed in shock.“The next time you try to touch me...” she said coldly as her eyes burned into mine, taking a step closer. “...I’ll cut your hand off.”I swallowed hard, not breaking her gaze.“What… what do you want from me?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Her lips curled slowly.“I'm taking back what you stole from me...what is rightfully mine...your life...I'll get rid of you and I'll become the new Elara Steele.""Think of what you're doi..."“And I’ll bring down anything that stands in my way,”she interrupted me mid sentence. “Even that pathetic husband of yours.”"He has nothing to do with this."“I don’t care how many people I have to kill,” she added, her voice dark and unwavering. “As long as I get what I want."“You’re making a mistake.” I knew there was no point trying to talk her out of it since s

Chapter 78 Part of the plan

Gunshots echoed repeatedly through the night as bodies dropped one after the other, with bullets flying across the property nonstop while I and my men pushed forward aggressively without slowing down.Azura’s men kept pouring out from every corner of the estate, from behind cars, the balconies and even the security posts, but I had come prepared for war.My men fired back, holding their ground firmly as the entire place erupted into chaos.“MOVE!” Knox yelled loudly over the gunfire.The men quickly created an opening, clearing a path toward the mansion for me, Knox, Cyrus and Dorian while the others stayed back, keeping Azura’s men occupied.Bullets whizzed past us as we ran toward the house, but we were somehow able to make it unscathed.The second we got to the entrance, Cyrus kicked the doors open hard and the four of us stormed inside before slamming the doors shut behind us.Immediately, the atmosphere changed.The loud gunshots outside suddenly sounded distant.The inside of th

Chapter 79 Now or never

*****Elara’s POV*****My heart pounded violently against my ribs as I stood in the middle of the room, completely frozen.Gunshots just kept going off outside the house, one after another, loud enough to make the walls tremble slightly around me and every single sound made chills run down my spine.My breathing became uneven as fear slowly crawled up my throat.It was scary not knowing what was happening out there and who was attacking the house.A loud scream echoed faintly from somewhere outside the house, followed by another round of bullets and my stomach twisted painfully.Then suddenly...BANG!!I jolted so hard my entire body shook.That gunshot was loud enough I could tell it came from inside the house.I felt the vibration run through the walls and my chest tightened instantly because something was wrong, very wrong.Before I could even process another thought, the door to the room flew open violently.I stumbled back in shock as Azura stormed inside looking furious, her che

Chapter 80 Finally at peace

I ran through the hallway as fast as my legs could carry me, gripping the gun tightly in my hand while my heart slammed hard against my chest.I had no idea where I was going.I just knew I had to keep moving.Gunshots echoed through the house from different directions, making me flinch every few seconds as fear crawled deeper into my body.Then finally, I saw the staircase going downstairs.Relief almost made my knees give out.I turned sharply toward it and rushed down the stairs, breathing hard, my vision slightly blurry from panic and tears.But the second I got halfway down...I froze.My breath caught instantly.He looked up at the exact same moment and his eyes landed on me.“Elara.”The way he said my name ignited something inside me.“Axel…”I dropped the gun immediately and ran down the remaining stairs.The second I reached him, his arms wrapped around me tightly and I broke down completely.“Oh my God…” I sobbed into his chest. “Oh my God…”His arms tightened around me like
