Iris opened her bleary eyes to see herself in a dull white hospital room, all alone. After the mishap, she hadn’t expected to be alive. But miraculously, Stacey had shoved her out of the path of the killer car. She had faced a similar accident in front of Escapades when Nicholas Garrett had saved her.After coming here, she had expected these mishaps to stop, but it seemed someone really wanted her dead. She had no other enemy than Lucille Hartley. But why would she be after her life when she got what she wanted - a life with Maddox?A sigh escaped her lips, and she closed her eyes again. She had lost Maddox forever. When she had left Escapades that fateful night, she had hoped to see Maddox one day. She had hoped he would call her. But neither Maddox nor Gavin called her. Apart from her siblings and Roselyn, no one else cared about her.Then she met Stacey at her college. A year senior, Stacey moved into her building, and ever since, they had been inseparable.“Sleeping?” Stacey’s v

A shiver ran through his body as he pulled her head down and brushed his lips over hers. She closed her eyes, relaxing into the pleasure. The way his fingers tunnelled into her hair, she knew he wanted her. “I missed you so much, sweetheart...” His breathy whisper sent her heart pounding. It was like a dream come true for her. She hadn’t expected to unite with the love of her life ever. She thought she had lost him forever. “Trust me, you’re the only one for me. Since the day I met you, I haven’t thought of anyone else but you.” Before his confession could sink into her mind and soul, he claimed her lips gently. It was slow and sensual at first, but soon it turned wild. Iris pulled him closer and kissed him back with a hunger that doubled his. She couldn’t recognize this wild side of her nature anymore. Maybe it was the pregnant hormones reacting to him. She moaned when his other hand moved to her butt to lift her up. With their mouths still fused, he wrapped her legs around his to

“Gary Laurier is just a pawn, Mr. Laurier. The actual mastermind is your mother, Evangeline Laurier. I’m sorry, but I have to arrest all three of them.”Maddox froze at the most shocking news. The woman who had brought them up was a murderer? How could she kill Lennox when she showed her affection for him openly? Ever since his death, she had been blaming him for negligence and murder. Was it all an act to manipulate his father?“Are you sure, officer? I still can’t believe it. Maybe Scott is lying...” He trailed off, unable to continue further. Was Scott under threat?“I doubt it. We’ve used a lie detector on him, Mr. Laurier. Do you want to be present at our next session?”Maddox felt disturbed by the news. But he wanted to confront Scott. “Yes, please. That would be very helpful.”“Good. You can come over to the police station around noon. We’ll interrogate Lucille Hartley as well and find out her involvement in the case.”“I’ll be there, officer. Thank you.”Maddox rose to freshen

Maddox had very little time on hand. He called Declan for help. He had no idea how to make wedding arrangements. Although he had agreed to marry Lucille, he knew what he would do. “Hey, bro! What’s up?” Declan’s voice brought him out of his thoughts. “Can you get a marriage license issued by tomorrow morning, dude?” His sly brain had devised a foolproof plan already. He would get a marriage license issued in Iris’s name.Declan groaned at his desperation. “Why so soon? She won’t pop the baby out tomorrow morning. You have nine months to get married, right?” He chuckled heartily at his joke. Maddox smiled half-heartedly. If only it had been so simple. “It’s complicated, bro. Lucille has kidnapped Iris and kept her imprisoned somewhere. She’ll set Iris free only if I marry her tomorrow morning. I have only twelve hours to plan this and save Iris’s life.”Declan gasped with horror. “Shit, man! Will you really marry Lucille?” Maddox wanted to tear his hair out of frustration. This tim

Maddox rested his tired head on the desk in front of him in the wee hours of the morning. He had spent the night at the police station, waiting for an update on Iris. Officer Shelby had to leave on an important case, handing the job over to the team.They had been waiting for the women to calm down before raiding the place. Even at 2 am, Lucille and her friends hadn’t settled down. What was going on?“They’re escaping without Ms. Hansley.” A team member informed. “We’re closing in.”Officer Stewart rushed out to his car with Officer Dallas. “Something is wrong, Dallas. These women are escaping without their prisoner. Either they’ve killed her, or she’s in a serious condition. We must rescue her.”Maddox rushed after them. “I’ll follow you, Officer Stewart. I can’t stay here and wait for an update.”Officer Stewart agreed, and they reached the house in seven minutes. Officer Stewart coordinated with his team, who were ransacking the house. “The four women left ten minutes ago in their
