Chapter 90 — Who Is the Real…

Noah BlakeWhat is the meaning of love?That was the question I asked myself every single day. And it had been that way since my childhood. When I was fifteen, I went to a friend’s party from school and saw him with his family — the way his father treated his mother, not caring that we were all there. With affection, attention, always touching her, declaring his love. That same day I came home and asked Marisa:“What do you think love really is?”I had a strong feeling for my brother — care, tenderness, an immense desire to see him well, to make him happy. I felt the same for Marisa. But never for my parents.I remember her looking at me with those pitch-black eyes that sometimes seemed to shine, and answering me with all the patience in the world:“Love is when your heart recognizes home. It doesn’t matter about blood, history, or even time… When you love, you simply know. Because being with that person feels like being home.”Back then, I understood that what I felt for Norton, and

Chapter 91 — What the Fuck is This?

Chapter 91 — What the Fuck is This?Noah BlakeJuliet and the kids have been living with me for a week now. Two nights ago, I had one of my nightmares. I thought they had left me… but I was wrong.The truth is, our minds are deceptive, yet at the same time, brutally honest. They trick us into thinking we can forget the things that scarred us deeply, but remain honest enough to bring to the surface—in the nightmares and the silences—the truths we try to bury.Once again, Juliet, even as scared as she was, had all the patience in the world with me. Deep down, I know what happened. The day I’ve never been able to erase from my memory is approaching. The day I met hell, and then… never truly climbed back out of it.But I can’t let this influence my life anymore. I’m not alone now; I have people who need me. My wife and my children.I talked it over with Ju, and we decided to move the kids to a new school. I’m enrolling them in one of the best in Manhattan; they cover everything from kinde

Chapter 92 — It Never Lasts

Chapter 92 — It Never LastsDeclan ReedThe night seemed perfect; my little one was in my arms after I had taken her twice. Who would have thought an angel like that would be so insatiable? But I learned from a young age that all good things must come to an end. And my "good thing"… it ended far too quickly.My phone rang and the message was there, clearer than crystal water.“He’s in town.”Without giving much of an explanation, I told Jenny we couldn’t spend the night together. I left her apartment, got into my car, and replied to the message.“Location.”As soon as the phone rang again, I saw where the scumbag was.“Stupid old man,” I muttered.I started my car and headed toward him. The bastard was in some fifth-rate nightclub with women who were worth less than the perfume they wore. I feel sorry for his wife, having to live beside a piece of trash like that, who picks up street walkers and lives on a diet of whiskey and dirty money.I met my source at the door. We spoke little;

Chapter 93 — Together or Not

Chapter 93 — Together or NotDeclan ReedI leapt to my feet.“DAMMIT, BLAKE, I TOLD YOU NOT TO BRING HER!” I shouted.“I didn't bring her, she came on her own!” he shot back, and I ran after my woman.She was heading down the hallway, and I caught up to her.“Jenny, love, please. It’s not what you’re thinking.” I pulled her toward my chest.“Shut up, Declan, you don’t even know what I’m thinking,” she said, crying.I turned her toward me, cupped her face in my hands, and began to wipe away her tears with my thumb. I hated seeing her cry, and I hated even more that I was the one causing it.“Then tell me what you’re thinking,” I asked, pleading.“That you’re an asshole.”“Fair enough,” I replied.“And that I hate you for deceiving me, for making a fool out of me.” Her tears came with a vengeance.“Little one, don't hate me. I love you. I’m an idiot, and I hid where I was, but I never deceived you.” I rested my forehead against hers. “Please, let me explain.”“No,” she answered, pulling

Chapter 94 — Despite Everything

Chapter 94 — Despite EverythingJenny CullenI cried, I worried, I tore at my hair. I didn’t sleep a wink all night, and I couldn't even manage to do my work—something I take very seriously. Because of him, thinking of him, fearing for him.And when I arrive at his house, what do I find?Another woman.Of course I’m going to think the worst—that I’ve been deceived, betrayed. And that’s why I’m leaving, because if I stay, I’m just a fool in love who’s going to fall for his act again and let myself be tricked one more time.At least, that was the plan I formed in my head the moment I stepped out of Declan’s bedroom, but nothing went as planned. Seeing him covered in blood, his face hidden by that hood like someone masking their shame, and hearing the “woman in question”—who goes by the name of Taylor—explain what happened, I gave up on leaving. I wanted to hear his side, to know the truth. In short: “Letting myself be tricked one more time.”And I even felt a connection with the girl, a

Chapter 95 — Far from Hell

Chapter 95 — Far from HellTaylor LaurentMy mother had some interesting metaphors. I grew up hearing them and believing that maybe one day, one of them would make sense to me. One was: “Life is a Ferris wheel; one minute we’re down, and the next we’re up.” My wheel of life must have been broken, because I lived at the bottom. But one night—it only took one night for it to suddenly spark to life and place me at the top.It was crazy, I know, but I finally managed to get out of that hell. I’m not at the bottom anymore; I’ve moved up. Or so I thought, until I walked into the living room and saw Declan. My chest tightened; I’ve seen this scene before, I lived it for years. The limit of pain, a scream of despair—this guy can’t take it anymore. He needs to let it out, and that’s exactly what he did.Jenny wanted to intervene, but I stopped her. At times like this, it’s better to just let it happen.He’s going to hit things, scream, hit them again, and scream… until he realizes that none of

Chapter 96 — A Great Misunderstanding

Chapter 96 — A Great MisunderstandingTaylor LaurentI was in my own personal paradise—yes, in the kitchen, eating some of the most expensive chocolate in the world—when suddenly a raspy voice rang out behind me.“Come down carefully, with your hands up.”Shit! I thought life was starting to look up, and when I turned around… I forgot to breathe. There was a jacked angel—I mean, an armed man—standing in front of me.“I said, get down.” His voice came out even raspier, and this time, a little sexy. What the hell is wrong with me?“I don’t know what’s going on here, but I’d appreciate it if you lowered the gun,” I said.“I’ll lower it as soon as you get down.”“Who guarantees that?” I asked.“I do,” he shot back. “Don’t forget that whether you’re up there or down here, I’m the one with the gun.”I looked at his hand; the gun wasn't cocked. He wasn’t going to shoot; he just wanted to scare me. I weighed my options: if I threw the chocolate at him, he’d drop his guard, and I’d jump to the

Chapter 97 — I Just Know...

Chapter 97 — I Just Know...Dominic CostelloAfter a difficult shift, all I wanted was to take a shower, lie down in my bed, and forget the world for a few hours. But as soon as I parked my car and headed for the private elevator, James, the doorman, came up to me and told me about the noise complaints coming from the penthouse.Reed…I used the code he shared with me and Noah and went straight to his apartment. The door opened to a war zone. I followed the noise and soon I saw her. Brown, straight hair, hitting at shoulder length. A short dress that showed off her toned legs, though she didn't have an athletic build, which was intriguing.I aimed my weapon and ordered her to get down. When she turned, I looked straight into her eyes. Intense brown, striking features—the girl was beautiful. But by all appearances, she was a hurricane. And that’s exactly what she was; she ran, she challenged me, and soon enough, she managed to get under my skin—and I’m a calm guy. I don't think I’ve ev

Chapter 98 — Already Tamed

Chapter 98 — Already TamedDeclan ReedI woke up confused, as if for a moment I couldn't remember where I was. But the second I felt the pain in my hands, I found my bearings.“Love…” I heard the sweetest voice in the world, the one I love most.“Hey…” she gave me a kiss, and it felt like a balm—a relief from the pain and the fear I’d had of losing her.“I’m sorry, love…” I said as soon as we pulled apart.“We’re not going to talk about that right now,” she said. “We’ll have time to work things out.”“I don’t want a 'later,' Jenny. There will never be a 'later' between us again.” I sat up carefully beside her. “From now on, all we have is 'now.' Right now I’m angry, now I’m suffering, now it hurts, and I need to deal with it.”“Declan…” she tried, but I didn't let her.“I know, love. I know you’re afraid because once again, I lost control around you.” I held her hand. “I’m not going to promise it’ll never happen again, because unfortunately, I still can’t. But I promise you, Jenny Cul

Chapter 99 — My Richard Gere

Chapter 99 — My Richard GereTaylor LaurentDespite a few cuts, I had to admit I’d never had a sleep as sweet as that one. The bed was soft, the sheets had a pleasant scent, and the room was at the perfect temperature—neither too hot nor too cold. I sat up, still disoriented, stretched, and then I saw him.“What the fuck is this?” I said, startled, but he didn’t move.Dominic was sleeping in the armchair beside my bed. His chest rose so slowly that for a moment I thought he wasn’t even breathing. He was handsome, insufferable, bossy, and a jerk, but handsome. I thought about getting up and going over there to wake him, to find out what he was doing there.Oh, but I had a view of paradise. I just had to decide if he was a jacked angel sent from heaven or Thor coming from the Realm of Asgard. Well, if he’s Thor… I need to find out the power of his hammer. Dammit, Taylor, what the hell is wrong with you?“I can almost hear your thoughts,” he said with a smile.“Enjoy them, then,” I repli
