I fell silent. In that moment of hesitation, a warm hand covered the back of my hand. Ryan appeared next to me. I hadn't noticed him at first. "How much more shameless can you get, Justin Swanson?" he asked in a loud, clear voice that dripped with undisguised contempt.

I saw the blade arc toward his back before he did. I didn't think. I threw myself between them and took the strike. A human body against a weapon designed to kill immortals. The blade carved a wound from my shoulder to my hip. The healers said I was lucky to survive. But afterward, Damien couldn't stand to look at the scar. "Cover it up," he would snap. "I don't want to see that thing." The scar that proved I would die for him disgusted him. Could he recognize me through it now?

He earned enough to get by, and his workload was lighter. Yara's health never fully recovered after giving birth to her daughter, so she couldn't work at all. As a result, Zachary became the sole breadwinner in their family. Hence, money was always tight. Rumor had it they argued constantly—about bills, about the child, about every trivial thing imaginable. His mother had a stroke last year and became paraplegic. Zachary brought her to live with them, which only made the tension at home worse.

“Okay, you are right. We didn't tell anyone either. “ Olivia approaches us and I tense. Here it is. She’s been acting too nice recently, I knew it wouldn't last. “Good evening Violet, “ she smiles, “Dominic. “ My husband comes to stand closer to me protectively, and Olivia turns to me. “Violet, I would like to take a minute of your time, if possible. “ Dominic and I exchange a look and I pass him the juice glass I am holding. “I will be right back. “ We go outside and I prepare for an argument. It doesn’t follow. “I wanted to tell you that I am sorry about the way I’ve been acting since we met. “ she says and my jaw drops. “I never approved of you marrying Conor for the money. I also never t

Grey had watched Scarlett grow into the strong, capable woman she was today, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and affection. The memory of the health orientation program that Scarlett had organized for the pack resurfaced in Dr. Grey's mind. It had been a remarkable initiative, showcasing Scarlett's dedication to the well-being of others. She remembered how Scarlett had taken charge of the event, sharing valuable information with the pack members about health and wellness. The way Scarlett had interacted with everyone, her confidence and passion shining through, had left an indelible mark on everyone present.

Rios and the others helped their cousin. “Dominic...” Scarlett’s fist slowly clenched as tears fell. “My husband had nothing to do with them! He... he’s a businessman! They should’ve killed me instead! And not my husband! How... how can they do that?” Scarlett held her head, and the whole Knight family panicked. Jacques turned off the television because he was worried about his aunt. Carrie and Tara were stunned when they heard their father was deliberately killed. Tara just clung to her fiancé and sobbed.

the man insisted, as if there was something I should know, something my wife could possibly be hiding from me. "He's my ex, a stalker, a psychopath who is drunk at the moment, who also almost slit my throat," Serena explained. My wife was outstandingly attractive, and men ogled at her. It was understandable. She was once his, but it gave him no right over her. "That's all I need to know," I simply said.

Maybe they already have.” Her fingers twitched on the table, and I knew I was getting to her. “Imagine that,” I added, leaning in a bit. “Your old pals, possibly turning on you, just like Antoine did.”

"How dare you do this to me? How dare you?!" "Blame yourself for being a desperate, gullible fool," Adrian spat, his gaze burning with icy hatred. "I never loved you. I only married you because of the inheritance your parents left behind after they died. Vivian is my true soulmate." He pulled her tightly against his side. "She is the only woman worthy of bearing my children." "What do you mean she's the only one fit to bear your children?" I sobbed, the memory of my endless failed pregnancies flashing before my eyes.

“But I’m not going to discuss Skay’s personal life. If you want to know something about her, ask her directly. After all, the two of you are getting married, aren’t you?” The way he said that left me nearly certain that man was jealous of Skay, that the two of them were far more than just friends, whatever they claimed. I didn’t even notice my breathing had gone shallow, uneven, my thoughts spiraling into confusion and turmoil. “You want to know what happened to Skay.” He kept talking, leaning in closer, glancing around, worried someone might overhear our conversation. “Scarlet nearly got hit by a car, I saved her just in time.
