I could drop dead any second. All I cared about was my dad's broken ring. I scooped up the black shards and tucked them into a velvet box. Didn't matter how I tried to fix it—some things just don't go back. *** Three months into treatment, Lorenzo still found me. Guess Elisa caved. Lorenzo looked wrecked—scruffy, red-eyed, all that cold mafia polish worn down to something raw. "Chiara..." he croaked from the doorway. I stayed leaning on the headboard, voice barely there. "The engagement's off. We're just history now. What do you want?"

The piece tumbled onto the floor, landing silently on the ruge. William smiled again, and this time, his eyes burned. “But a fourth day will dawn. And when it does... the game will begin anew.”

He goes through plenty in one night. "You think you're special? The gifts he gives you are just the ones I didn't want. Now that I have his child and his love, becoming his new Luna is only a matter of time. Why don't you just make it easy on yourself and leave? Give me your place already." Message after message appeared in the chat, each one cutting a little deeper. Nora was right. I was just an Omega and no longer in my prime. But she was young, a Beta, and capable of giving him a child.

I muttered under my breath, surprised by the sudden transformation of the place. I stood up from the stool I was sitting on and turned to Alpha Nate but he was focused on the maids. “Bring the meals immediately,” he said after they were done spraying the flowers. The maids bowed in response and turned go leave. “Sorry, but Alpha Nate it seems as though there are two chairs here. Who is the other one for if you don't mind answering?” “Of course it's for you, do you see any other person here?” The Alpha asked causing me to calm my nerves down. If that was the desire of the Alpha, how could I overturn it? I couldn't. I could only bare with whatever this was.

Thirty days. One month. A single, heartbeat-stopping wager. Benjamin Parker was the sun. A golden-haired scholarship recruit with flour on his hands and a heart that he wore—vulnerable and beating—on his sleeve. He spent weeks chasing the school’s "Ice Prince," offering handmade tarts and a smile that could melt the coldest winter. He thought his persistence finally paid off when Jonathan Hayes—the obsidian-eyed, terrifyingly beautiful heir to a tech empire—pinned him against the school gates and claimed him in front of everyone. But the "Golden Romance" was a lie from the very first kiss. Jonathan didn't choose Benjamin because of his heart; he chose him because he was a convenient t

There, standing upright on the table in front of me, were three dice. Six, six, one—13! One of the dice had been split clean through the middle, forcibly exposing a fresh surface and revealing an extra pip. When Hillary heard the gasps, she leaned over in disbelief. The second she got a clear look at the three dice, all the color drained from her face. "That's impossible… How do you know that trick…" she murmured in stunned shock. I calmly sat back down in my seat, as if the frenzied person from a moment ago wasn't me.

As I signed the divorce papers for the third time, I moved through the familiar steps with practiced ease. I could have done it in my sleep, having been through the drill three times already. Henry Johnson clutched the divorce certificate, his eyes darting to his watch, his brow creased with impatience. "Go on ahead, I'll catch a cab back," I offered before he could say a word. A flicker of surprise crossed Henry's face, but it was quickly replaced by a look of regret as he spoke, "Sorry, Melanie just landed, I..."

A tremor runs from my hand up my arm and directly to my dick. Wow. “This one,” she says, looking up at me through inky lashes. I shift in my seat, trying to bring my body under control, and turn up my palm. It’s the gray pawn. “Black.” I turn the board so that the gray chess pieces are in front of her. “Okay. I’ll start.” Four moves in and I’m dragging my hands through my hair. “As usual, you’ve been holding out on me, haven’t you?” My tone is wry.

They stood there, the future tightening around them. Across the city, Serena watched the confirmation spread, satisfied. Because the next move wouldn’t be about control. It would be about exposure.

And Chapter 31 closed not with resolution But with the unmistakable sense that the next fracture would be irreversible.
