Unbound Grace

I confronted him in a heated argument, but he accused me of being unreasonable. "I thought your injuries were so serious, but look—you didn’t even die! Besides, your money is my money. I’ll spend it however I want!"

I was feeding my seven-year-old daughter, Lucy Langer, when Robert Langer crashed through the front door, reeking of alcohol. His shirt collar hung askew, and red marks blazed across his neck. "Audrey," he said hoarsely, "someone spiked my drink at the charity gala. But don't worry. I've already had my lawyer handle it." I nodded. After so many years of marriage, I knew he only had eyes for me and our daughter. He never strayed. Or so I believed… until eight months later. While Robert was away on a business trip, his cruise ship caught fire. The news dominated every channel. Clutching a sobbing Lucy, I rushed to the hospital, only to find him swathed in bandages, standing outside the maternity ward. "Becca is pregnant," he murmured. "It was that night at the gala… I didn't think it would happen from just once…" He gulped. "When the fire spread, she saved me. But she… got trapped herself." A newborn's wail pierced the corridor as the delivery room doors opened. Becca White was wheeled out, looking pale and exhausted. She clutched my sleeve and pleaded desperately, "Audrey… my babies can't grow up without a father…"

"You should rest." I said, my voice embarrassingly breathless. "Probably." he agreed, but made no move to put distance between us. "You're trembling." "I'm tired. It's been a long night." I lied, my voice lacking conviction. "Liar." His free hand came up, brushing a strand of hair from my face. The gesture was surprisingly gentle, at odds with the raw intensity in his eyes.

Mein Mann, der Mafiaboss, verlor seine erste Liebe durch Selbstmord. Celeste Reyes konnte nicht ertragen, dass er mich heiratete. Seitdem trauerte Darius Sterling jeden Tag öffentlich um sie, und wir wurden zu einem Paar, das einander mehr verabscheute als jeden anderen Menschen. Als die Familie Moretti aus Eastbourne jedoch Auftragsmörder auf mich ansetzte, warf sich Darius vor mich und fing die Kugel ab, die für mich bestimmt war. Die Kugel war vergiftet. Als er kraftlos in meinen Armen lag, flüsterte er: „Ich habe dir das Leben gerettet. Meine Schuld gegenüber deiner Mutter ist beglichen. In unserem nächsten Leben sollten wir uns besser nicht mehr begegnen. Ich will dich nicht länger hassen. Ich wünsche mir nur, dass du immer das Mädchen von nebenan bleibst. Jetzt ist es Zeit für mich, bei Celeste zu sein.“ Und so starb er in meinen Armen. Ich weinte mir die Seele aus dem Leib, doch Darius sah mich nie wieder an. Erst da begriff ich, wie töricht und kindisch unser jahrelanger Hass gewesen war. Später, nachdem ich die Morettis ausgelöscht hatte, nahm ich mir seinetwegen das Leben.

Ich lehnte den Plan meines Vaters für eine arrangierte Ehe ab und entschied mich, nach New Verden zu gehen, um das Familienunternehmen zu führen. Diesmal würde ich mich von Darius fernhalten und ihm und Celeste meinen Segen geben.

"First time?" he asks, lowering his hand to my abdomen, his body tensing. I bite my lip, seeing his eyes flash with something dark. He pushes deeper inside me, and I wince. Pain shoots through me, but pleasure quickly follows, numbing me to the world. The sparks and tingles distract me from the discomfort. "So tight," he murmurs as he pulls out. "Please," I moan recklessly, knowing I should stop him but It feels so good. "Eager to feel my c**k," he growls as he thrusts back inside me, his voice makes me forget the pain.
