Chapter Sixty-One: Kendra

“I’ll call you!” Stephan hollered from his car, and I let out a small laugh as I waved him goodbye. He had just dropped me off at my place after we had breakfast together in the hotel room he booked last night.Speaking of last night, I wouldn’t call it perfect, but it was well spent. It had been so long since I last had sex, and while Stephan was good in bed, the stupid part of me who refused to forget about Declan prevented me from being satisfied because I kept comparing Stephan to Declan.I knew that was a terrible move, but I didn’t do it by choice. I didn’t want to do it, but no matter how hard I tried to stop my mind from comparing them together, I couldn’t. Stephan was gentle with me, and he made sure to make me feel beautiful and loved all night, but that wasn’t enough.He wasn’t Declan. I walked into my house, eager to change into something comfortable. I loved my designer dress, but that didn’t mean I wanted to wear it two days in a row. And I also wanted to get out of my

Chapter Sixty-Two: Declan

“I knew she’d come,” Mom said. I felt bad about doubting Kendra. I allowed myself to think that she’d choose to stand aside and not help us out when we needed her, but she proved me wrong.“She told me to call her if we needed anything.” I was glad that I had her number again, but I was aware that just because she gave me her number, that didn’t mean that I had a free pass to contact her whenever I wanted.She had only given me her number for emergencies, and if I abused that privilege, she was probably going to block me.“I have a feeling she didn’t want to leave,” Lana spoke.“It didn’t make sense for her to stay. It’s better for her to go home and rest after donating blood,” I told her. Kendra had probably not slept properly after partying last night.When I arrived at the hospital and learned that Ares had lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion, she was the first one who came to my mind. When Kendra and I decided to give our marriage a chance, we started asking one ano

Chapter Sixty-Three: Kendra

I had been in my studio, working on a new painting for the past three hours. I was about to leave soon because I had a date with Stephan tonight. I decided to give us a chance because after seeing Declan at the hospital, I became certain that I needed to do everything in my power to get Declan out of my system.I heard about people sleeping together to get each other out of their systems; however, I found the idea utterly ridiculous. I knew that if I slept with Declan, I’d end up giving in to him. I wouldn’t be getting him out of my system; I’d be stabilizing his presence in my life.I hated how much I enjoyed our conversation in the cafeteria. It was like nothing was wrong between us—like catching up with someone you used to be so close to.When I got home, I tried to find anything I could hate about our encounter, but I failed miserably. Despite the terrible circumstances, I never felt I was at ease the way I felt that day.Just as I was about to let my brush touch the canvas, the d

Chapter Sixty-four: Kendra

I wasn’t used to my phone ringing at one in the morning, but when I saw Declan’s name on my screen, my heart started to pound because that seemed pretty unusual.“Hello.” My voice was a bit groggy.“Hey, beautiful.” The way he slurred his words told me how drunk he was. “Didn’t think you’d pick up.”“Declan, are you all right?” I asked him, sitting up in bed. It had been almost a month since we last spoke. We hadn’t been in contact since the day at the hospital.“I don’t think so.” I could barely make out the words that left his mouth.“Where are you, Declan?” Worry instantly filled my heart because I could hear some noises in the background.“A bar,” he mumbled, and I sighed heavily. I expected that answer. “I miss you so much, flame.” My heart fluttered when he called me by the nickname I still loved with all my heart.“Are you alone?” I asked.“Yeah… Elijah left an hour ago. Bryce didn’t come because his son is sick.” He sighed heavily. “Why am I giving you details you didn’t ask f

Chapter Sixty-Five: Declan

It felt like someone kept hitting my head with a sledgehammer. Every time I tried to lift my head, I groaned in pain.Did I drink that much last night?I had been awake in bed for a while, and I could remember bits and pieces of what happened, like calling Kendra; however, I didn’t know what exactly happened afterwards. All I knew was that I was in a room that wasn’t mine. I just couldn’t keep my eyes open for long enough to determine where I was.Was I at Kendra’s place? The idea brought hope to my heart, which gave me an incentive to open my eyes despite how painful it was.I forced myself to sit up and slowly looked around. The hope I once had in my heart soon turned into disappointment because I knew exactly where I was. I was at Lana’s house.The question was, how on earth did I get here? Did I call an Uber? Did I call Lana to pick me up after getting too drunk to even remember the events of last night?I groaned loudly and got out of bed. Perhaps a hot shower could put me in a be

Chapter Sixty-Six: Kendra

“Kendra, I need your help,” Stephan said with a look of distress I had never seen on his face.“What is it?” I frowned, taking a seat on the armrest of the couch at his place.Stephan and I had been dating for a month. When he asked me to be his girlfriend, different feelings took over my heart. I knew that I didn’t love him, and I couldn’t decide whether I liked him enough to be in a relationship or not, but I knew that after my relationship with Declan, I had never been the same.So, I decided to give us a chance. After my divorce, I had a firm conviction that I would never love anyone the way I loved Declan. He had ruined me for other men, and I tried so hard to make peace with that idea.The kind of love I had given Declan was one of a kind, and I didn’t think I had any of it left in me. However, I didn’t want to be alone. I wanted to be with someone, and Stephan was nice. It felt right to give him a chance.“I’m in debt, and I need to pay it before things get worse than they alre

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Kendra

I didn’t know what I was doing at her place, but I hoped she’d be able to help me out with this mess. Joelle was my only hope to find a solution for this before I was forced to pay my hard-earned money to buy that bastard’s silence.I knocked on her door, knowing she was inside since her car was parked in her driveway. I hadn’t stopped crying since I left Stephan’s apartment, and I didn’t think I’d be able to stop anytime soon.Joelle opened the door for me, but once her eyes fell on me, her face fell.“Joelle, I need your help. I don’t know what to do,” I cried, walking inside. “Stephan filmed us when we had sex together, and now he’s blackmailing me. I either pay him twenty million dollars or he’s going to post the video online. He also told me he has other things on me, but I don’t know what else he might have. I only invited him once to my place, but what if he had installed cameras?” Joelle placed her hand on my arm, and I stopped talking. I was aware that I was rambling, but was

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Declan

When Elijah texted me about the predicament Kendra found herself in, I didn’t waste time, got in my car and drove off to Joelle’s place.I knew there was a high chance she might refuse my help, but I wasn’t going to stand aside while somebody was trying to use her. Kendra had worked so hard to build a name for herself, and I wasn’t going to let anyone destroy her hard work. Even if she wasn’t mine, I was going to protect her with my life until my very last breath.I stepped out of the car when she did, and I hesitantly walked toward her, unable to predict her reaction. There was a good chance she might tell me to walk away, but part of me hoped for a different reaction. I wanted her to let me in and allow me to help her.“Hi,” I nervously said, staring at her. In the dark, I couldn’t get a clear look at her face, but Elijah told me she showed up at Joelle’s place crying her eyes out, so I knew her face was probably stained with tears. That Stephan was going to pay for making her cry.“

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Declan

I received a call from my men twenty minutes ago telling me they had brought Stephan to the location I told them about, so I was driving there to settle everything once and for all.“I never got to thank you last night for telling me,” I told Elijah. He was with me in the car because when I received the call, he was with me and insisted on accompanying me. He believed that I might do something foolish if I didn’t have someone to keep me under control in case I lost my temper.There was a high chance I might lose it. “I did the right thing. I knew you’d want to know if she was in trouble, and I was certain no one would be better than you to help her out,” he said.My best friend was right. If he hadn’t told me and I found out on my own later on that she was in this kind of trouble, I would have wreaked havoc.We arrived at the warehouse, and I walked inside with Elijah by my side.Stephan was sitting on a metal chair surrounded by six of my men. They didn’t need to tie him up, and he

Chapter Seventy: Kendra

Declan told me not to worry, and he would handle everything. While I knew I could trust him, and he would do everything in his power to put an end to this disaster I found myself in, I was still scared.“Here you go,” Tia said, handing me a bowl of popcorn. Even though it wasn’t the weekend, the girls decided that we needed a girls’ night. I knew the main reason behind it was to make me feel better, and for that, I was grateful.“So, I want to tell you something,” Joelle told us.“What is it?” Tia asked.Joelle looked between the two of us, then took a deep breath. I knew she was going to talk to us about Elijah. I hadn’t asked her about him last night, not wanting to force her to talk about something she didn’t want to talk about. However, she told me she was going to tell Tia and me everything the next day.“Elijah and I have been seeing each other,” she said nervously. Her eyes studied the two of us, waiting for our reaction.“Elijah, as in Elijah Stanford? As in Declan’s best frie
