It felt as though his breathing had stopped the moment Aidan saw Malikha get shot right before his eyes.After swiftly dealing with Jason and making him pay for what he had done, Aidan immediately rushed to Malikha's side. While she remained frozen in shock, he quickly did everything he could to stop the bleeding.Malikha grimaced in pain as blood continued flowing from the wound where the bullet had grazed her shoulder.“Breathe... I'm here, sweetheart,” Aidan said gently, trying to calm her as the pain began to overwhelm her.Blood had already soaked through her clothes. He stripped off his suit jacket and pressed it firmly against her shoulder to slow the bleeding.“Just a little longer. You're going to be okay, Babydoll,” he whispered.Pulling her carefully into his arms, Aidan held her against his chest while keeping pressure on the wound from behind. His own breathing was ragged, almost frantic, as he fought to keep her conscious. Not once did he loosen his hold on her.The sigh

Malikha could still hear Aidan’s voice outside for a while after she shut the door, but she refused to open it. To her, Aidan was nothing more than a liar. Clenching her fists tightly, she remembered the cruel words he had spoken to her in the wine storage cellar. He had locked her inside simply so she could experience the same pain and terror of being trapped in a dark room.The memory alone made a cold sweat break out across her skin. Every time she thought about it, her stress intensified, and sometimes she even struggled to breathe. It felt as though no air could reach her lungs whenever she recalled the image of Aidan lying on the cemetery ground, grinning at her with that sinister smile.Malikha immediately covered both ears with her hands. She tried to steady her breathing and calm herself down.“Go away,” she whispered to the haunting image that continued to fill her with fear.She had hidden it well all this time. Aidan probably had no idea how deeply his actions had hurt her

The afternoon was bright and beautiful, but Malikha chose to spend it in her room after Aidan’s visit earlier that day. Whatever desire she had to go outside and enjoy the arrival of spring had completely vanished.Flowers were blooming everywhere, and the trees were finally beginning to turn green again. The fresh, crisp air was a welcome change after the long winter months. It was the kind of weather that tempted people to go for walks, sit in parks, and soak up the sunshine.Yet Malikha had no interest in any of it. She preferred to stay curled up on her bed. One day of disturbance wasn't enough. Almost every day after that, Aidan continued to bother her relentlessly.Whenever knocks echoed from the front door of her apartment, Malikha would immediately grab a pillow and bury her face beneath it in frustration. She didn't even need to check who it was anymore.It had to be Aidan. Her soon-to-be ex-husband refused to give up. He would do anything

For the members of The Seven Wolves, Aidan, Mars, and Bryan were practically triplets. They looked alike, behaved alike, and often covered for one another whenever one of them made a mistake. Among the group, everyone knew that if one of them got into trouble, the other two would never be far behind.Aidan finally rose from the stool beside James and moved toward the couch where Mars had once again immersed himself in defeating Bryan in their game of Uno Stack.He sat down lazily beside them, stretching his legs onto the coffee table that had become their battlefield. With a bottle of beer in his hand, he watched the two men who remained completely absorbed in pulling and stacking the colorful blocks.Bryan glanced at him and immediately frowned.“What’s with your face? You look like you just lost all your money gambling.”“Nothing.”“Don’t bother him,” Mars said with a grin. “He’s lovesick.”Aidan clicked his tongue.“Just wait until you have problems with Vanylla. Don’t come looking

Aidan continued to press soft kisses against Malikha's face as she stirred gently within his embrace. The morning sunlight had already begun filtering through the curtains, yet neither of them seemed willing to acknowledge the passing hours. Aidan was already dressed neatly in his dark suit, his tie perfectly arranged, but he could not bring himself to leave. He did not mind if his clothes became slightly wrinkled from constantly leaning over to kiss the woman sleeping in his arms.To him, Malikha looked like a beautiful doll he could never stop admiring.“I have to go...” Malikha murmured, her eyes still closed as a faint sigh escaped her lips.“Where?” Aidan whispered against her cheek, his lips continuing to brush her soft skin.“I have... court today,” she mumbled again, her voice becoming softer and softer as sleep continued to pull her back.Aidan smiled. He gently rubbed the tip of his nose against her cheek, enjoying the warmth of her skin.“Then let me go instead. You should
