Chapter 41

Chapter 41. Nadia’s POV. The weight of Ronan’s words hung in the quiet space between us. I sat completely frozen, my eyes locked onto his. Usually, when our conversations became too heavy or hit too close to my raw emotions, my immediate instinct was to pull away, constructing a polite wall of excuses. But looking at the steady, honest gaze of the man across from me, I didn't move. I stayed right there in the booth. "I didn't think you felt that way," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I took a slow breath, forcing myself to step into the vulnerability I had spent so long avoiding. "If I am being completely honest, Ronan, I have felt the exact same spark. I’ve felt it for a while now. But I was just too terrified to trust it after everything Damian put me through." I looked down at the table, the old familiar weight of regret also pressing on my chest. "And it isn't just that," I added, my voice cracking slightly. "I still carry so much embarrassment and guilt for the way

Chapter 42

Nadia’s POV. I grabbed Ronan’s forearm just before our feet touched the pavement outside the restaurant. The glass doors were right in front of us, but my heart was beating too fast for me to move forward. "Ronan, wait," I whispered, pulling him back, and he turned to look at me, his brow furrowing instantly as he noticed the tension in my face. "What is it? What’s wrong?" "I just noticed someone watching us," I said, keeping my voice low as I glanced back out toward the street. "There was a man standing by a luxury car across the road. He was covered up in a cap and a mask, and he was staring straight at the restaurant doors. The exact second he realized I saw him, he turned around and jumped into the car." I swallowed hard, the cold dread from moments before tightening around my throat. "I don't know for sure if he was monitoring us, but the way he fled as soon as I caught him looking makes me incredibly uneasy." Ronan looked out through the glass, his eyes scanning the da

Nadia's POV. Lily ran into the room, her small face filled with deep worry. The moment our eyes met, her expression lit up with relief. She sprinted across the floor toward the bed, climbing up to sit right next to me."Nadia! You're awake!" Lily cried, wrapping her small arms around my waist. "Are you okay?"I hugged her back gently, but my mind was spinning with a hundred different questions. I was completely confused about how I had even ended up in this house, what I was doing here, and how we had escaped those criminals. Before I could ask Lily anything, the door opened again and Ronan stepped into the room."Lily, you shouldn't bother—" He stopped short in the middle of his sentence, his eyes widening when he noticed that I was already sitting up and awake. Lily was already looking at him, and he seemed to get the complete confusion written all over my face.Ronan walked fully into the room, his movements quick and tense with lingering worry. He sat down on the edge of the mat

Chapter 44

Damian's POV. The heavy iron gates of the estate opened slowly, but I barely noticed as I pulled the car into the long driveway. I killed the engine and sat in the quiet dark for a moment, my hands gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. My head was pounding. I had just spent the last hour almost turning two, sitting in a cold, dim room at the police station, answering endless questions from the two detectives.I couldn't understand why I was the one being asked if I paid off reporters to ruin Nadia's name. But then again, the investigation had led to me given my account used to pay the blog, and then the calls leading to my own address and the other detective stuff. Gosh, I was the one taking the heat here, when, I already have my own worries to focus on. Gosh, the financial records they'd thrown at me across the table, questioning strange money transfers from company accounts that I had never authorized. Every single question made my stomach turn. I had not

Chapter 39. Damian's POV. I stood frozen against the wall, my shoulder pressed hard against the wood frame. The sound of Simone’s voice lingered in the quiet air of the foyer, replaying over and over in my ears.My hand stayed flat against the cold surface of the wall. For a split second, my fingers twitched toward the handle, a heavy urge slamming into my chest to push the door open and confront her right there in the dark. But I stopped. I drew in a quiet breath, stepped backward, and walked away from the kitchen before she could turn around and notice me standing there.I didn't sleep at all that night.I sat in the leather chair in my study, staring at the dark window pane as the hours ticked by. My mind raced through everything that had happened over the past few months. I sat in the quiet, recalling every single time Simone had sat at the dinner table, subtly speaking badly about Nadia to the children. I remembered my mother, also nodding along, encouraging Lucas and Isabell

Chapter 46

Nadia's POV. We finally pulled away from each other, our breathing ragged and warm against the crisp night air circulating around the open terrace.Ronan stared down at me, his hands still gripping the stone railing behind him, looking completely stunned by the desperation of the kiss I had just forced on his lips. But within a second, his eyes darkened with an intense and heavy hunger that made my knees feel entirely weak. He slowly lifted his hand, cupping my cheek with a tenderness that nearly made me sob, his thumb gently brushing over the faint, aching bruise near my temple. I knew exactly what I had just done by crossing that line, but right now, my mind refused to build any walls or think about the consequences. The lingering terror of almost losing my life in the car chase earlier completely melted away into a deep, overwhelming need for comfort and connection. Ronan was just that person who could make me feel safe, and right now, he was making me feel hot too."Nadia, I...

Chapter 47

Ronan's POV. Nadia’s legs were resting over my broad shoulders, her eyes wide and fixed entirely on my face as I knelt between her thighs on the edge of the mattress. The warm glow of the bedside lamp threw long shadows of both of us across the room, catching the flush on her skin and the rise and fall of her chest. My own breath hitched in my throat, the heat slamming straight into my chest as the sheer moment settled over me. For years now, I had kept my mind disciplined, like locked-down vault, and going completely celibate as I rather focused entirely on running my company and raising Lily. But right now, looking down at the raw and unfiltered vulnerability in her gaze, every ounce of that restraint completely disintegrated.I leaned forward, my hands sliding down from her knees to grip her hips, my fingers digging firmly into her soft skin. She let out a shaky gasp, vibrating straight through my palms and the sound alone sent a violent rush of blood, making my member throb wi

Chapter 48.

Nadia's POV. Sunlight crept through the blinds, warm stripes falling across the bed. I blinked awake slowly, my body sore in places than usually expected, my head still fuzzy with sleep. But then I felt it. An arm draped heavy across my waist, his body close to mine.My eyes flew open.Ronan lay beside me, his face relaxed in sleep, his bare chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. The blanket had slipped down to his hips. I looked down at myself and my her dropped. I was naked too.Oh no. Oh no, no, no.Every single detail of the night before came rushing back at once. The terrace, the kiss I had started, the way I had made him to bring me to his room. My cheeks burned so hot I thought I might actually catch fire right there in his bed.I sat up too fast, and the room spun for a second, my hand flying to my mouth to keep from making a sound.The blogs. The article. The photo of us holding hands with Lily, and the headline calling me a woman who abandoned her family to chase afte

Chapter 49

Simone's POVThe suite overlooked the city skyline, all glass and soft lighting, the kind of place that never showed up on anyone's credit card statement if you knew how to book it right. I swirled the wine in my glass and let it catch the light before taking a slow sip, my bare feet tucked beneath me on the velvet chaise by the window.Miles away from that suffocating mansion, and I could finally breathe.I set the glass down on the side table and let my head fall back against the cushion, closing my eyes for a moment. The plan had worked exactly the way I needed it to, every single piece.Everything along with the detectives had been getting too close for comfort. I'd felt it in the way that Damian had started watching me with something sharper than suspicion in his eyes, and the very moment the police showed up at my door. I knew I'd be next in line for questioning, especially with that blog owner, Barry as he immediately ratted out our connection as former classmates. I knew he wo

Chapter 50

Nadia's POV. The car pulled through the gates of the estate, and I barely had time to gather myself before I saw them standing on the front steps. My brothers stood together, and beside them were two men I didn't recognize, both dressed in dark suits, their stance rigid and alert. I stepped out of the car, still trying to smooth down my hair from the rushed morning, and Kane was the first to reach me, pulling me into a tight hug."You're finally home," he said, pulling back to study my face. "You look exhausted.""I'm fine," I said quickly, glancing at the two men standing a few steps back. "Who are they?""Your personal security," Seth answered, crossing his arms. "Dad and the police agreed you need protection until this thing is sorted out. They'll be with you everywhere from now on."I opened my mouth to argue, but Eli cut me off gently. "Don't fight us on this one, sis. Not after what happened yesterday."I sighed and nodded, too tired to push back. "Fine.""The detectives are w
