All Chapters of Awakened For Sin: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Blake's POVThe silence in the car was starting to get to me. Cassie wasn't saying anything; she just sat beside me, her hands folded in her lap, staring out the window at the city sliding past. She looked calm, composed, like she hadn't just spoken fluent Japanese like it was a second language. She was acting like she hadn't just saved my business from ruin. I could have been okay without Takeshi's backing, but I would need nothing to go wrong. In my line of work things go wrong and projects get delayed. No one could control the weather.If Richard Jones was behind it, and I was one hundred percent sure that was the case, then he would have found a way to hurt production of the projects in some way. Maybe the supply chain. I could think of hundreds of ways to affect any given project. I think it was time I started looking into Richard Jones's businesses. I'd heard things in the past, but I hadn't involved myself. That was about to change. I had my own contacts there."What other lang

Blake's POVI closed the laptop and rubbed my eyes. Fawn Jones's face was burned into my retinas now, soft features, genuine smile, eyes that looked like they'd seen too much pain but chose kindness anyway.Nothing like Cassie.And yet... the kindness and care for others were a match for the woman Cassie was now.I checked my watch. Seven forty-five. I had a meeting at eight thirty that I couldn't miss, and I still needed to get moving if I was going to make it on time.Standing, I grabbed my briefcase and headed toward the kitchen, where Ana was already setting out coffee and what looked like a fresh fruit platter."You off to work then, Mr. Huntington?" she asked with her warm smile.I set my briefcase on the benchtop. "Just about to leave, Ana." I looked toward the stairs. "Mrs. Huntington still isn't down?""No, sir. I still haven't seen her."I nodded. She was either still sleeping or avoiding me. I was going to guess avoiding me."When she comes down, let her know I'll be home b

Richard's POVI ended the call with Melissa and set my phone down on the desk, staring at it with growing irritation.The stupid fucking bitch was panicking. I could hear it in her voice, in the way she'd demanded reassurance, in how quickly she'd called me the moment Blake did anything even remotely suspicious.Panicked people were dangerous. Panicked people made mistakes, and mistakes left trails.I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming against the armrest as I thought through the situation. Melissa had been useful, extremely useful. She'd given me access to Blake's business dealings, his vulnerabilities. She'd made it possible to set up the Nakamura situation in the first place.But useful didn't mean irreplaceable.And it certainly didn't mean trustworthy.She actually believed I was going to give her some cushy executive position when this was all over. That I'd honor whatever vague promises I'd made to keep her motivated.Delusional. She had betrayed her boss as if I would h

Fawn's POV The elevator doors opened onto the executive floor, and I stepped out, balancing the coffee carrier and bag of food. I turned left and saw a set of double doors, the only set I could see, and headed in that direction. One door was open, so I just walked straight in. She sat at a large desk just inside the room. Another set of double doors sat on her right. They had to lead to Blake's office. She was typing away on her computer with perfectly manicured nails. She looked up as I approached, and I watched her expression shift from professional politeness to thinly veiled hostility in the space of a heartbeat. Interesting. So that's how we're playing this. Oh, goodie, this was going to be so much fun. I had forgotten about her. "Mrs. Huntington," she said, her smile not reaching her eyes. "I wasn't aware you had an appointment." "I don't need an appointment to see my husband," I said pleasantly, setting the coffee carrier down on the edge of her desk. "Is he available?" Me

Fawn's POVThat stung. I knew I shouldn't let it, but it did. I didn't look up at him, just undid the button, then the next one. "I can't explain what happened to me in that coma, Blake. I can't tell you why I'm different or how I'm different or if it's permanent. All I can tell you is that right now, in this moment, I want you. And I think you want me too. Can't we just live in the moment? Life has no guarantees. Either of us could die tomorrow. If I turn back into the evil witch you hate so much, you can divorce me."His other hand moved to my hip, his grip firm. "This is a mistake.""Probably." I finished unbuttoning his shirt, pushing it open to reveal the hard planes of his chest. "But we're going to make it anyway. I need you."Blake's eyes darkened, that careful control starting to slip. "You're playing with fire.""Then burn me. Just make it good," I whispered. I could feel my nipples as they beaded in my bra, already so sensitive, begging for his touch.He made a sound low in
