All Chapters of Biker's Forbidden Desire: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

AXEL POV Before I could answer and bury myself further in the lie, the clinic doors opened. Marcus emerged into the cool morning air, walking alongside an older woman with tired, sharp eyes and a white medical coat. They spoke in low, urgent tones for a moment before she took a scrap of paper from her pocket, wrote something down, and handed it to him.Marcus gave her a respectful nod, turned on his heel, and walked straight back to the car."She cracked," Marcus said, sliding into the front seat and handing me the paper. "Dmitri is hiding out in an ancient monastery deep in the mountains outside the city limits. She said he has been there, trying to heal and pray."We drove up the winding mountain roads, finding the monastery just as dawn fully broke over the peaks. It was a massive structure of ancient gray stone, surrounded by peaceful, beautifully manicured gardens. It was the absolute polar opposition of the violent, blood-soaked world we had left behi

EMILIA POVFrom the shadows of a nearby warehouse, two more of Nikolai’s hidden men appeared, dragging a battered figure between them.My breath hitched. It was Ricci. He was bloodied, his face heavily bruised and beaten, but his chest was rising and falling. He was alive."You were supposed to control the safe houses in New York," Axel hissed, his eyes widening in shock at the sight of the old family captain."He had... inside help, Axel," Ricci gasped out, spitting blood onto the concrete. "Someone I—""Doesn't matter," Nikolai interrupted loudly, cutting Ricci off before he could name the traitor. "Because now, little cousin, you have a choice. Stand down. Give me Dmitri. And Ricci lives to see New York again."Dmitri didn't hesitate. He took a decisive step forward, his eyes burning with the lethal authority of a seasoned leader. "I'm here, Nikolai. Take me. Let the rest of them go.""No," Axel barked, his voice raw. "We're not sacr

Emilia POV I looked at him, really looked at the man I had once shared a life with, and a wave of pure nausea washed over me. "You were going to use me as a hostage?""Yes," David admitted flatly. "That was the contract. But I couldn't do it, Emilia. The closer I got to you, the more I realized who you were... I couldn't be the monster they paid me to be. When I realized the scale of what Reyes was planning, I walked away. I threw the dirty money back in their faces and I vanished. Because I loved you. And I couldn't be the reason your life was destroyed.""But you knew," I choked out, a hot tear spilling over my cheek. "You knew they were targeting my father and you said absolutely nothing to me.""I tried to warn him," David pleaded, his voice rising in desperation. "I sent indirect m

Axel POVWhen I entered our bedroom, Em was sitting on the edge of the mattress, staring blankly at the scattered documents. She looked hollow, like a shell of the woman I loved."He admitted it," I said quietly, closing the door behind me.She didn't move. She didn't even blink."He didn't know who the target was at the time," I offered, trying desperately to find some shred of mitigation where none existed. "He didn't know it was your father. He was operating through Nikolai Volkov's middlemen.""But he did it anyway," Em said, her voice terrifyingly flat. "He executed the contract without asking a single question. Because that's what your family does.""Yes.""So I am married to a man whose own brother murdered my father," she whispered, finally turning her tear-streaked face to look at me."Em—""And you didn't know," she said, her eyes boring holes straight through my soul. "You honestly expect me to believe you didn't know you

Emilia POV"Now I am offering you the exact same choice I wish I had made back then," David said, his voice hesitant as he looked up. "The chance to get out, Emilia. The chance to leave the Moretti violence behind you permanently."I stood up from the stone bench, walking away from him toward the edge of the terrace where the distant, twinkling lights of the Czech capital lay in the valley below."If I actually leave Axel... where would I go, David? What would I even do?"David stepped up beside me, trying to regain his footing, keeping a cautious presence at my side. "You could come with me. I have secure parameters set up. We could go somewhere safe. Somewhere quiet, far away from New York and the Bratva. You could be a mother to Marco without the
