All Chapters of Unapologetically Mine: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kyda POVA few weeks later, I received news I had been dreading for a while. My father had a cardiac arrest last night, and Dr. Stan was able to revive him.“Miss Woods, you should be ready. Next attack, we might not be able to do anything.” Dr. Stan informed me and looked at me sympathetically.I have been sitting in my father’s hospital suite for two days, hoping for a miracle. Two days later, my father had two back-to-back cardiac arrests. The doctor was not able to save him.My father's death hit me like a ton of bricks. I went into a deep depression that lasted months. I had watched this once proud man suffer for nearly five years, fighting for every breath and tormented by pain. The intense pain and loss that I was still feeling, even though I knew this day would come sooner rather than later.As the priest continued speaking about what a great man my father was, I prayed for peace and comfort. I asked the universe to bring my father back to life, restore his health, and erase t

Kyda POV"Liam, please," I begged one more time, my voice hoarse. Please don’t do this. I pushed him with all my might and ran, but he tackled me to the floor. I felt intense pain in the stomach on impact. Stars danced in my vision, and I blacked out with pain. I heard a shout and felt someone pick me up.I woke up with pain. Lynn rushed toward me, helping me sit up. I sipped from the glass of water she handed me as Rebecca entered the room.“I am sorry, Kyda. We could not save your baby.” She said, her eyes misting up. Every word was like fuel added to the simmering pit in my gut.I cried silently, holding my abdomen. Lynn held me as I wept for my baby. I heard the door close. Rebecca left the room without saying a single word.Anita whispered, "You were supposed to have twins; one of the babies was somehow hiding so we could not see him in your sonography, and another twin was protecting his sibling. He took the full impact of the fall.”“I know it’s not everything, but it is still

Tristan POVIt was another long week, filled with work and sleepless nights. I felt exhausted at the thought of another sleepless night. I don’t remember the last time I had peaceful sleep with Marco's people acting up; sleep has become a lesser and lesser priority. Life had become a monotonous cycle of work and more work, with little room for fun or sleep. If only my father allowed me to put a bullet in Marco’s head.“You are in deep thought. Looks like Marco is still annoying you.” Zach asked, handing me whiskey.We are having a meeting at Aiden’s penthouse. If only I could call it an even meeting. Aiden thought it would be a great idea to invite all the strippers from his club.“Whose idea was it to allow Aiden to host this year's meeting?” Zaden grumbled, downing his whiskey in one go.“It was Jeremy’s idea to let him have his way.” Kaden sighed, glaring at Jeremy.“I didn’t think he would go all out,” Jer replied.Really? Zach deadpanned.“Fine, I did know he would act, but not

I need to talk to Dad about this change in plans, and I know Mom will be overjoyed at the prospect of me getting married. I slip the ring onto her finger after kissing her knuckles.Bending down, I fasten Kyda's seatbelt. Knowing she’ll soon be mine, I can’t help but kiss her forehead.“Take care of yourself and our son, little star. Call me if you need anything, anytime,” I emphasize.“I haven’t said yes yet,” she replies stubbornly.I chuckle and kiss her neck; she shudders. I smirk at her reaction. “You will,” I say as I fasten my jacket.Harper drives me home. When I walk in, Mom is watching TV and Dad’s rubbing her feet.“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Dad, you look like a lovesick teenager. Who would believe you used to rule the Alliance?” I tease, trying to get a rise out of him.Dad might be a dangerous killer, but he’s putty when it comes to Mom.“Tristan!” Mom perks up at my voice and rushes to hug me tightly.“You’ve lost weight,” she says, eyeing me up and down.“It’s just been a week sin

I called Tristan, and to my surprise, he answered on the very first ring.“That was quick. Were you waiting for my call?” I asked, trying to keep the edge out of my voice.“Hello to you, too, little star,” he replied, amusement dripping from every word, clearly enjoying my irritation.“If I get the divorce agreement signed, how are you going to get the judge to approve it without Atlas noticing?” My voice was low but unwavering.“I knew you’d agree,” Tristan gloated, a triumphant smile almost audible.“Tristan,” I growled through clenched teeth, irritated by his arrogance.“Once Atlas signs the agreement, hand it to Mark. I’ll handle everything else. And little star, you should start packing—we’re getting married immediately.” His tone dropped, serious and commanding.“Okay, I’ll let you know,” I replied, masking the whirlwind of anxiety inside me.“I knew you couldn’t stay away from me. I’m impossible to resist,” he teased, that infuriating charm slipping back into his voice.“You’ve
