꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂It took a second.Just a second for what she said to actually sink in, and when it did, it didn’t feel real at first. My mind tried to brush it off, tried to twist it into something less serious, something that didn’t sound like what it actually meant, but it didn’t work. The way she said it, the look on her face, the calm in her voice, it all made it clear that she meant exactly what she said.“Guess I just became a widow instead of a divorcee.”I gasped at the realization of what she had meant.My chest tightened instantly, my thoughts snapping into place in the worst way possible, and before I could even think about what I was doing, I had already moved. I crossed the distance between us in quick steps, stopping right in front of her, my eyes locked on hers, searching for something, anything that would tell me I had misunderstood her.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, my voice low but strained, like I was forcing control into it.Laura didn’t look like she was joking

꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂Peter was still talking.His voice coming through the car speakers as I drove, steady but layered with frustration he wasn’t even trying to hide anymore. He had been repeating himself for the past few minutes, asking the same question in different ways like he was hoping I would suddenly change my mind if he kept pushing hard enough.“Are you sure this is a good idea?”“Yes.”That was all I said, simple and flat, my eyes fixed on the road ahead like nothing about this was worth reconsidering. There was a pause on his end, the kind that carried more than silence, like he was weighing whether to keep arguing or just give up on trying to make sense of me.“You’ve gone crazy,” he finally said, his tone dropping, more serious now, less patient. “You really think you can storm into Kagemoto Kazama’s estate, rescue your wife, and walk out of there unharmed?”I didn’t hesitate.“Yes.”Another pause, a bit longer this time, and I could almost picture the look on his face, the

꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂Kagemoto Kazama laughed.Clearly amused with what I had said earlier, like he had just heard something entertaining and not something that should have annoyed him. His eyes stayed on me the entire time, sharp, calculating, like he was studying me and enjoying what he was seeing.Then he lifted his hand slightly and just like that his bodyguards backed off, guns lowering almost immediately before they stepped away from us like they were never needed in the first place.Something that I couldn't quite name pressed against my chest, I could feel my heart beat getting louder by each passing minute but I forced myself to stay calm.“Bravo,” he said, his voice calm, almost approving, like he was giving me a compliment. “Very brave.”I didn’t respond.I didn’t move either, just stood there and held his gaze, refusing to give him anything more than that. I could already tell what kind of man he was, the type that feeds off reactions, the type that enjoys breaking people slowly, an

꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂The door opened and my eyes moved there immediately. When I saw Frank, my chest tightened and for a second I wanted to move, to go to him, to close the distance between us like nothing else in this room mattered, but I stopped myself. I stayed where I was and just watched him, because this wasn’t just about me and him, not with Kagemoto Kazama standing there watching everything like he already knew how this would play out. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me run to Frank like a frightened kitten, so I stayed still, even though everything in me was telling me to move.Kagemoto Kazama smiled when he saw Frank, like he had been expecting him all along, like this was exactly how he wanted things to go. He didn’t look surprised, not even a little.“I’ve been waiting for you,” he said calmly, like he was greeting someone he invited. “I hope you have an answer.”Frank didn’t answer him. He didn’t even look at him at first. His eyes came straight to me, li

꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂Frank’s grip on my hand tightened slightly after I didn’t answer immediately, like he already knew what was going on in my head and was waiting for me to catch up to it. His eyes stayed on mine, steady, calm, like nothing around us mattered, not Kagemoto Kazama, not Laura, not the men standing around waiting for something to happen. Just me.Then he spoke. “Go to Eric.”The words came out simple, direct, like there was no need to explain anything more.I didn’t move.For a second, I thought I didn’t hear him well, but I did.He let go of my hand slowly, not abruptly, not like he was pushing me away, just enough to make space between us, and that alone made something in my chest tighten again.“I’ll take care of things here,” he added, his tone still calm, like he was talking about something small, something not worth his time or mine, even though we both knew it did.I stared at him.He didn’t look away, he didn’t hesitate like he had already made up his mind when he told

꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂“Oh, so now I’m your husband, Timmy dear.”I said it with a grin, not even trying to hide it, my tone light and teasing like we weren’t standing in the middle of something serious. I was still looking at him, still thinking about what he just did, the way he pulled me in without hesitation, the kiss, and then those words like he just dropped them there and expected me to act normal after. Tim rolled his eyes immediately.“Shut up,” he said, his tone flat but I could hear the edge in it. “Or I’ll take it back.”That only made the grin on my face widen because there was no way I was letting that slide.“Take it back?” I repeated like I was actually considering it, then I shook my head slightly and clicked my tongue. “No, I don’t think so. You said it, I heard it, that’s all I need.”He shot me a look, clearly not in the mood.I let out a small laugh under my breath, because this wasn’t something I expected, not from him, not in a situation like this. I had already pre

꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂Kagemoto Kazama didn’t waste time, his expression turning cold as he immediately ordered his men to go out and deal with whatever was happening outside, his voice firm like he was still in control of everything. The guards responded without hesitation, moving quickly toward the door like they had done this countless times before, like this was just another disturbance they would handle and return from.One of them reached the door first.He barely had time to touch the handle. A gunshot rang out again, louder this time, closer, and the next second a bullet went straight through his head. His body jerked before dropping to the ground right at the entrance, blood spreading fast, and just like that the room fell into an uncertain silence.For a brief moment, no one moved.Not even the guards, like if we made one move another gunshot will ring out .At the same time, Frank’s phone rang.The sound cut through the tension sharply, almost out of place with everything going on, b

Her hands were shaking as she tried to h

꧁♡ 𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨 ♡꧂“Hey,” I said, my voice low, steady, trying to pull him back. “Look at me.”He did, I could tell he had been avoiding my eyes before that.“You’re okay,” I added, because he needed to hear it.He didn’t answer immediately. His hands were still gripping my shirt like he needed something to hold onto. I could feel it, the tension still sitting in his body, the way he was trying to stay calm but failing at it. I brought him to my hotel room instead of his apartment, it wasn't safe until I knew what Kagemoto Kazama next move will be that is, if he even makes it out of the hospital alive“I shot him,” he said.“I know,” I replied.“He was going to shoot you,” he added, like he was trying to justify it, like he needed me to agree.I didn’t argue.I just raised my hand and touched his face, my fingers brushing his jaw slowly before settling there. “You stopped him,” I said. He let out a breath, his shoulders dropping just a little, but he was still not fully there. I could

꧁♡ 𝓣𝓲𝓶♡꧂A week had passed after everything that happened at Kagemoto Kazama’s estate, and even though things had calmed down on the outside, I still felt it sometimes that Kagemoto Kazama will pop out of nowhere and whisk me away just like the old fucker always does. Frank didn’t talk about it much, but he stayed close, closer than before, like he didn’t want to give me space to drift too far into my thoughts, and I didn’t mind it, not really, because it made things easier without me having to say anything.He didn’t let me go back to my apartment either, said it wasn’t safe yet, and I didn’t argue because I didn’t feel like going back there anyway, so I stayed with him at the hotel, slowly getting used to the space, the routine, the way things felt with him around all the time.And sex was a bonus for sure.That was why tonight didn’t feel strange to me, it just felt like something normal, something we were doing to get out for a bit instead of staying in the same place again.
