All Chapters of Till Death, I Love You: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Bang!The hotel suite door was kicked open.Summer flinched beneath the thin blanket, but kept her eyes closed, her head resting against the shoulder of the man beside her, who was also pretending to be asleep.As the footsteps approached, she slowly opened her eyes.She propped herself up on one elbow and looked toward the door, pretending she'd just woken up.It was Ian Jensen.Tall and long-legged, he wore a crisp white dress shirt tucked into tailored pants, the fitted fabric outlining his muscular build. His dark eyes had always had a way of drawing her in, making it impossible to look away.She'd loved him for four years.If not for what she'd been forced to do today, their engagement party would have been tomorrow.But that wasn't going to happen anymore.“Ian? What are you doing here?”Summer tried to keep her voice from trembling.“What am I doing here? You've got some nerve asking me that!”Ian crossed the room in a few strides, grabbed her arm, and yanked her ou

Moira raised her hand to slap Summer again, but Ian caught her wrist.“Don't dirty your hands.”Summer parted her lips, but no words came out.From where she stood, she caught the brief flash of satisfaction on Moira's face.She lowered her head and sighed.Then, suddenly, she looked up and slapped herself.Slap!The sharp sound echoed through the hallway.“Ian's right. Hitting me would only dirty your hands. That slap was for Ian. If it wasn't enough, I can give myself another. And another.”“Enough! Just get out! Get the hell out!”Ian stared at her swollen cheeks, a cold, unreadable expression flickering across his face.Summer lowered her head, hiding the tears filling her eyes.Only when she'd managed to hold them back did she look up again.“Goodbye.”She walked away, forcing herself to appear calm and leaving him with the impression that she didn't care.She took the elevator down to the underground parking garage, got into her car, and shut the door.Then she cu

Summer parted her lips, but Moira's vicious threat left her speechless.“You don't have to agree. But you'd better think carefully. Your mother killed your... to save you.”“I'll do it.”Summer cut her off before she could finish, her voice cold.“Good. Now get lost.”Moira smiled triumphantly and dismissed her.Summer stood there, her clenched fists trembling.In the end, she left.Battered and miserable, she drove back to her apartment and shut herself away from the world.When Ian finally woke up, it was already the next morning.His head felt like it was going to explode from the hangover.Out of habit, he reached for the person beside him, intending to pull her close and kiss her forehead good morning.But when he opened his eyes, he found Moira lying next to him, looking as though she'd just woken up.“Ian.”“Why are you here?”Ian frowned, his eyes narrowing dangerously.He immediately pulled his arm away from her back.As the last of his grogginess faded, he re

The man leaned close, trailing a hand over the strap of Summer’s camisole. "The client said we need to make this look real. You’re being so stiff, miss. You’re making my job hard."Summer glared at him, her eyes cold. "Get your hands off me.""Damn, you smell good."Instead of pulling away, his hand rubbed against her shoulder. His hot, heavy breath brushed against her skin as he moved in closer.Nauseated, Summer shoved him hard, but he flipped over and pinned her beneath him."What are you doing? Get off me!""Oh, stop playing innocent. You drank the water. In a minute, you’ll be begging me to touch you."He tried to force himself on her. Furious, Summer grabbed his greasy hands, squirming desperately to dodge his mouth as he kept lunging for her face.Moira, that vile woman, had actually had this man drug her.The drug hit the man fast. His eyes flushed red, his breathing turned ragged, and his grip tightened as he completely lost control.Summer felt her strength slipping

Before the doctor could even finish his sentence, a single, frost-bitten word cut him off."Get out.""What?" The doctor blinked, thoroughly confused."I said get the hell out!""Right—yes, sir!" Wiping a cold sweat from his forehead, the doctor hurriedly retreated and pulled the door shut behind him.As Summer’s breathing slowly evened out, her hands moved instinctively to rest over her stomach. 'Pregnant?'Before the despair in her eyes could fully fade, a surge of overwhelming emotion flooded over her—the sudden, terrifying joy of becoming a mother mixed with raw panic.'Snap!'A sharp blow landed full force across her face. Unprepared, Summer collapsed sideways onto the mattress. Out of the corner of her eye, she met Ian’s cold, lethal glare."Pregnant?" Ian stepped closer, his shadow looming over her. He seized her by the hair and dragged her off the bed without a shred of mercy, flinging her down onto the floor.Whatever tiny sliver of rationality he had left vanished c
