All Chapters of Bonded For Blood, Not Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

When I woke up, I ignored the stabbing pain in my body and immediately asked for a pen and paper. I wrote a bond severance letter and had it delivered to Lesley Dixon.More than two weeks later, the man who had been so busy transplanting plants for Judy Savage finally showed up at the secluded villa.He didn't even see me, and immediately exploded in the courtyard."The Dixons are a reputable family! You can't just throw tantrums when you feel like it! You said you lost the baby? That's obviously a lie you made up just to compete with Judy for attention."I'm the head of the family. How could I ever accept a bond severance from my own mate? I tolerated you again and again because the child in your womb could save my father's life. But you've gone too far with this madness!"Judy had chest tightness today. The doctor said planting greenery would help her recover. She finally stopped taking medication. Are you trying to make her sick again? If you want out, fine. After the baby is b

"I helped Judy move a few plants, and you start throwing a fit about severing our bond? How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are?" Eddie continued. "If you really want out, fine! I'll send you the severance papers soon enough. But once I do, the baby belongs to the Dixons."Gloria struggled to her feet, ready to chase after him and slap him across the face.But that heartless man didn't want to waste even one more second here.By the time Gloria staggered outside, all she saw was his back. She yanked off her shoe and hurled it at him."Eddie! I told you the baby is gone! You're the reason he's dead! You won't save your father, and you'll regret this!"The night air was cold, and she had just miscarried. I hurriedly told the staff to help her back inside.Gloria and I had grown up like real sisters. My father had treated her as his own daughter. Everyone in the Binders' respected her as the second young lady of the house.Yet in Eddie's mouth, she became some girl my schem

If the Dixon brothers had just turned around and taken one look, they would've seen it.They would've seen that the round swell of my stomach and Gloria's was gone. They would've known our babies were dead, and they would've known every word we said was the truth.We could've finally torn Judy's lies apart.But they only stiffened for a second.Just as they were about to turn, Judy let out a soft, pained sound. She pressed a hand to her chest and swayed."My chest feels tight."They panicked instantly.Lesley scooped her up and sprinted down the mountain without hesitation. His arms were strong and steady. Even on the rocky path, she didn't jolt once.Yet, he had forced me to walk those same roads for a full day and night while I was heavily pregnant.Eddie didn't even look back. "Those two cruel women must've upset Judy. That's what triggered her condition. Take her back now. I'll go get a doctor."Judy won again.Gloria and I were left standing there alone.We didn't belo

Eddie hadn't even finished speaking when Gloria walked in with my father."What kind of fantasy are you living in?" Gloria snapped. "Did you forget I sent you a bond severance letter, too?"Eddie stared at her, eyes blown wide. "Where's your baby? You weren't even here that day."Gloria had never been as patient as I was. She immediately exploded."If I hadn't been here, Margot would've been beaten to death! You two heartless men! We sent servants to look for you over and over. And what were you doing? Helping someone move freaking plants!"Lesley and Eddie clenched their jaws, their expressions twisting."So it was real," Lesley said stiffly. "Someone actually dared to touch the Dixons."Eddie slowly let go of Judy. Lesley stopped looking at her altogether and finally turned his eyes on me.It was the first time in all these days that they ignored the "weak" Judy.My father's face was dark as he opened his medical kit. He gently spread ointment across my swollen cheek."When

Gloria paced the room a few times, unable to sit still.Finally, she said, "If Judy didn't find what she was looking for, she'll make another move. Soon."I knew she was right.I ordered the servants to haul the bodies from the courtyard and take them down the mountain before dawn.When the sky first lightened, the Dixon state was still eerily quiet. The bloodstained corpses were laid out in the yard.Gloria and I stood off to the side, calmly watching the two men who had once been our husbands.Lesley's expression darkened."What's this supposed to mean?" he demanded. "You think I sent people to kill you?"Judy had already heard the commotion. She stood not far away, watching closely.I met her gaze. "Of course not. But the people who tried to kill me are definitely connected to the Dixons."I motioned to the servants, who pulled open the attackers' collars. Near their hearts, each of them bore a scar. It looked like a mark left by a specialized instrument.It had been trea
