All Chapters of The Bet That Broke Us: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

MiaWhen I woke up, he wasn’t beside me. The faint scent of him lingered on the sheets, and the oversized shirt covering my body told me everything, he had cleaned me up and dressed me after I’d fallen asleep, too exhausted to move after what we did.Realization hit me hard. I wasn’t a virgin anymore. I had given myself to the same man who loved someone else, and even had a child.I threw the covers off and tried to get out of bed, but I winced at the sharp pain that shot through me. I felt sore… my body still trembling at the memory of how raw and consuming it had been. The way he’d claimed me, the way he’d held me after…I needed to get a pill the moment I got out of here. I couldn’t risk getting pregnant for him. What happened between us….I wouldn’t call it a mistake, because I had willingly given myself to him.I looked around the room. He was nowhere to be found, and there were no sounds from the bathroom either.He couldn’t have just left… not after finally having me. Or maybe

Rolex The entire building was burning. Screams echoed everywhere, and there were bodies littered on the ground.I looked for her through the smoke and fire, my heart hammering against my ribs. I didn’t even know why….only that I couldn’t lose her. Just like the night I’d found her in that alley.Then I saw her. She was being held by a man, struggling to break free, her piercing cries cutting through the noise.I attacked from behind, slamming him to the ground. The man wasn’t wearing a mask, but the tattoo on his neck. The same one I’d seen on that bastard at the bar….confirmed what I already knew.The old man’s doing…no doubt. But why target this place?I slashed at him with my dagger….the one I kept hidden on my bike. I knew I’d need it, along with my gun. He was strong, but I was stronger. I swore I’d make him pay for that night at the bar, but I didn’t have time to enjoy it. Mia had been drugged. I needed to get her out.Within minutes, it was over. His blade cut me once across t

“Arggg!”The scream was a satisfying sound in my ears as I plunged the dagger into his other leg and twisted. Blood soaked the floor where he'd crawled away, clutching at his wound.“Are you planning to let him go?” Kay demanded, appearing at my side. He’d gone to drop Mia off… then come back, but I’d already finished them before he returned.“No,” I said flatly. “He can survive long enough for him to report it. Then he dies.” There was no hint of remorse in my voice. I wiped the blade on a dry patch of my pants, stood, then faced Kay. He looked at me, genuinely worried about the cut on my side.“You’re hurt. Let’s get you home. I can get you treated,” he said.I gave him a quick, forced smile. This was nothing. Something in the back of my head clicked… the text Kay had sent earlier about the girl I’d been looking for. “The girl?” I asked.Kay hesitated, then said, “There’s a possibility the girl you’re looking for is Mia.”It didn’t surprise me. why? I’d already suspected it when t

MiaI tried to pull my leg away from him, but he held it still, carefully removing the pieces of broken glass that had pierced my foot. The sting made me flinch. Never in my life had I met a man whose mood changed as fast as his….one second gentle, the next terrifying. He was like a chameleon, shifting without warning.A man who could shoot his own brother without blinking… was he even human?I winced again as he dabbed disinfectant on the wound. Each time I made a sound, his eyes flicked up to mine, worried and calm in a way that made me uneasy.How could someone be this caring and this cruel at the same time? I didn’t understand him. And what was this strange obsession he had with saving me?Then my eyes caught the dark stain spreading across his shirt, blood. I forgot, for a moment, every reason I had to hate him. Instinct took over. I reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt, lifting it slightly before I could stop myself. A deep, raw wound slashed across his side, still ooz

Mia “I can’t control it,” he said before his lips crashed onto mine, his hands already tugging at my pajamas. Before I knew it, I was left in nothing but my panties, my bare chest rising and falling against him. I tried to match his pace, fumbling with his belt until it finally came loose. A soft whimper escaped me when his lips left mine, trailing lower to my neck. He bit gently..enough to make me gasp, but not enough to draw blood, before sucking hard on that spot. I knew it would leave a mark. I finally managed to get rid of his pants, leaving him in just his underwear. He continued kissing down my neck until he reached my hardened buds, his mouth closing around one while his fingers teased the other. A moan slipped from me as I arched into him, my hand tangling in his hair to pull him closer. He gave the same attention to the other before releasing it with a wet pop. His lips trailed lower, down my stomach, to my thighs…slow and unbearably teasing. My body trembled, already s
