Chapter Twenty-One

Jasmine’s POVI stirred slowly, blinking against the morning light. When my eyes fully opened, Adonis was already awake, lying on his side and watching me. His hand moved in slow, gentle circles over my stomach.“Have you been watching me this whole time?” I asked, trying to sit up.“Yes. You look so beautiful and peaceful when you sleep. I couldn’t look away.”“You just noticed that today?” I teased him lightly.He chuckled and ran his tongue over his lower lip. “No. Today just feels different. After last night.” He cupped my face with both hands. “Thank you for letting me in. I love you so much, Jasmine.”I leaned forward and hugged him. The words I love you stayed stuck in my throat. I was glad he didn’t push for them. For now, the hug was enough.A few minutes later he pulled back. “I need to get ready.” He kissed my forehead and walked toward the bathroom. I watched him go, my eyes tracing the tattoos that covered his back and arms. They made him look dangerous in a way that stil

Chapter Twenty-Two

Adonis POV “Adonis, can I come in?” Louis asked, peeking into my study and tapping lightly on the door. “Yes. What do you want, Louis?” He walked in and stopped in front of my desk. “I want to talk to you. I’m worried about my niece. She looked really down when I saw her yesterday. Maybe she’s under the weather.” I leaned back in my chair. “Maybe I shouldn’t have let her stay in this house. She should have stayed with you instead.” “No, Adonis. Of course not. If you push her out of your life, Maya will die of a broken heart.” “Really? I didn’t know you worried about her this much.” “How could I not? My brother is gone. We’re all alone now. Maya is all I have left.” I studied him for a moment. “Is her living here hurting her? She still doesn’t seem to understand that I’m a married man. She needs to respect my wife.” Louis lowered his head slightly. “Adonis, the thing is… Maya is worried about you. She can see you’re not happy. Lately she’s gotten a strange idea stuck i

Chapter Twenty-Three

Adonis POV“You’re here, Mr. Albert,” I said as he walked further into the living room.“I’ve been busy with the schools and the dispensary. I came to report something urgent in person, but seeing you like this makes me sad.” He looked at me carefully. “Why are you kicking Dominga out of the ranch?”“She’s helping Jasmine one way or another. My instincts are never wrong. She has to leave today.”Mr. Albert’s expression hardened. “What’s wrong with you? What kind of demon gets into your head? Have I not told you to control your anger? You’re slowly becoming a tyrant, Adonis. Anything sets you off.”“What do you mean exactly?”“You can’t just throw Dominga out. Where do you expect her to go? Your heart is so full of rage that you take it out on anyone near you. You know Dominga is completely trustworthy. I answer for her myself.”“She’s trustworthy, yes. But she has my wife’s trust, not mine.”“You’re just upset, my boy.” His voice softened a little, though the concern stayed. “Those fe

Chapter Twenty-Four

Jasmine POV(Two weeks later)“Matteo, tell the gardener to water these lilies every single day. Even if he cannot do it himself, he must make sure someone else takes care of them. They are my favorite flowers, and I do not want to watch them die.”Matteo stood a few steps away and nodded. “Alright, ma’am. I will pass the message to him.”“You can leave now.”He walked out of the garden without another word. I stayed where I was for a moment, looking at the pale flowers. The garden had become one of the few places on the ranch where I could breathe without feeling watched every second. I moved slowly between the beds, checking the other plants, when a familiar voice spoke behind me.“You’ve been avoiding me for weeks, Jasmine.”I did not turn around. My shoulders tensed. “I have nothing left to say to you, Seb.”He stepped closer. “I never left the kitchen that day. I heard everything. I heard how you gave yourself to Adonis just to force me to leave. Do you have any idea how hard it

Chapter Twenty-Five

Jasmine’s POV“Please take him upstairs. The doctor will be here in a few minutes.”Mr. Albert’s voice cut through the noise and pulled me out of the frozen state I had been stuck in. Sebastian moved past me quickly with Adonis still on his back. Everyone else rushed after them. I forced my legs to move and followed them up the stairs, my heart hammering so hard it hurt.Inside the bedroom, the guards carefully lifted Adonis from Sebastian’s back and laid him on the bed.“Careful,” Dave said. “Slowly. Don’t hurt him.”“Alexi, tell Dominga to bring bandages, cool water, and whatever first aid we have to stop the bleeding until the doctor arrives,” I ordered.Alexi hesitated. “Ma’am… Dominga is not here.”Of course she wasn’t here. The realization hit me a second too late. I had almost forgotten.Mr. Albert stepped closer and pulled me into a brief hug. “It’s alright, my dear. The wound on his head looks worse than it is. It’s only a scratch.”“But he was shot in the arm and the leg,” I

Chapter Twenty-Six

Adonis POVI stood up from the bed slower than I wanted, the ache in my side pulling at me the second I moved. My eyes squinted against the light as a knock sounded on the bedroom door.“Come in,” I called.Antonio stepped inside. He looked around the room once, then sat on the couch across from me.“Good evening, Adonis. How are you feeling now?”“Good evening, Antonio. Better. Thank you. Did you find out anything?”“No. Nothing. I spoke with the workers in charge of the paddocks. They said they didn’t see a thing. The guards are still searching, but the footage is gone. Deleted.”I let out a short breath. “That’s crazy.”“Yeah. Something’s going on at this ranch that doesn’t sit right with me.”I looked at him. “You think the men who shot us are from here?”“Maybe. There have been robberies before. And Louis is the only ranch worker, aside from the guards, who owns a gun. That alone feels off.”I nodded slowly. “I left him in charge of a lot. Including the key to the warehouse where

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Jasmine’s POVThe late afternoon sun stretched across the lawn, long and gold. I stood facing Dave near the edge of the grass, far enough from the main house that the workers wouldn’t hear us. My arms were crossed tight against my chest.“Dave, I know exactly what you’re capable of. That’s why I’m begging you. Do not tell Mom that Sebastian is at my husband’s ranch,” I said.He smiled. The same easy smile he always wore when he had the upper hand. His eyes stayed on me, steady and unreadable.“What do you take me for? I won’t tell her.”“What’s that look on your face?” I rolled my eyes.“I saw Uncle Lorenzo leaving yesterday. He knows Sebastian well. You’re lucky they didn’t cross paths. Your secret would have been finished.” His smile widened.“Just stop laughing like a fool.” I ignored the rest of what he said. “Dave, I don’t trust your word. You’re the same person who lied about me to my husband. You stood there and let him throw that innocent woman out of this house.”His smile fa

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Adonis’s POVI pulled Uncle Mason into a hard hug the moment I reached him. His shoulders felt solid under my arms, familiar in a way nothing else on this ranch had felt in a long time.“You didn’t tell me you were coming back to Texas,” I said against his shoulder. “I’m glad to see you. I missed you.”He held on a second longer before we stepped apart. His eyes dropped to the bandage on my hand.“And you didn’t tell me you got hurt, boy. Thank goodness I came when I did.”“It’s fine. I’m getting better.”“When did you get back?”“Three days ago.” His gaze shifted past me toward Jasmine for a brief moment. “I swore I wouldn’t set foot on this ranch again after the way your father treated me long ago. But when I heard what happened to you, I changed my mind.”“Thanks, Uncle.” I turned slightly so he could see her clearly. “This is my wife, Jasmine. You already know about her.”Jasmine stepped forward.“Jasmine, this is Uncle Mason. My mother’s younger brother. He’s been living in Germa

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Jasmine’s POV“Jasmine, I didn’t know you were in here. I came to drop this report for Adonis.”Sebastian’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts the moment he opened the study door and found me sitting on the couch. I stood up at once.“Why are you still here? I asked you to leave repeatedly.” My voice came out sharper than I intended.“Calm down,” he said, closing the door behind him. “After nearly running into Ralph Lorenzo the other day, I wanted to leave, but your brother threatened to tell Adonis everything if I did.”I stared at him. “What? Dave did that?”Sebastian nodded. “He thinks that if I leave, you won’t give him the bribe money. That’s why he wants me to stay. To keep pushing you.”I ran a hand through my hair, feeling the weight of it settle in my chest. Of course Dave would do something like this. I had always known my brother was selfish, but this went beyond anything I expected. The most vile, calculating person in my life, and he shared my blood.“Jasmine, we have to

Chapter Thirty

Jasmine’s POVI opened my eyes slowly and took in my surroundings. I was lying on the grassy floor of an abandoned stable. My legs and wrists were tied tightly. The sky outside was already pitch dark, with only the moonlight filtering in through the gaps.My head ached badly from the earlier blow. I groaned as I pushed myself up, wincing at the sharp pain that shot through my skull.“Where am I?” I whispered, confused and disoriented. This was a part of the ranch I had never seen before. I was certain the cameras and guards never came near this side.“Hello? Who’s there? Somebody help me!” I shouted as loudly as I could until my voice cracked.I let out a deep sigh, my heart pounding hard in my chest. Footsteps approached a few seconds later. I peeked through the iron bars of the stable door as the sound grew closer. I could make out two silhouettes in the darkness, but only one pair of boots stopped in front of me. I looked up.My breath caught in my throat. Even in the darkness I k
