Chapter: Chapter 78Amara pursed her lips, frowning at Aiden as she crossed her arms."I'm not doing that," she stated, her voice firm."You will." His tone left no room for argument, his sharp gaze making it clear he wasn't interested in excuses."This isn't part of my job!""I'm the boss, Amara. I decide what your job includes," he countered, his expression unwavering. "And I want you there. 10 AM. No exceptions.""I never agreed to this.""Too bad." His voice was final. "I pay you to follow my instructions, and this is part of your work conditions."That was yesterday.Today, on Sunday, her only day off from both college and work, Amara found herself standing outside a therapist's office, staring at the door like it was some kind of trap. Not because she had chosen to be here. Not because she thought she needed help.But because Aiden ordered her to.Apparently, since she worked for him, that somehow made her mental health his responsibility. As if she were a problem that needed fixing. As if he had t

Chapter: Chapter 76What are the chances of a cold, emotionless man becoming the most devoted and protective father imaginable?Surprisingly high.Fatherhood reshapes a man, for better or worse, it either makes him whole or shatters him completely. And in Killian’s case, his daughter's existence didn’t just change his life, it redefined him. It was something rare, profoundly beautiful, and so deeply connected that even the devil himself would crave a touch of it.Then who was Killian to deny the birth of something so beautiful in his life? He was no one, not in the face of the innocent love that consumed him so effortlessly. He had surrendered himself to his daughter completely, an unbreakable bond that neither time nor fate could sever. It was evening, and Killian had decided to take his daughter out for some fresh air. So here they were, in the garden, with Kiara nestled in her baby stroller, the soft rustle of the evening breeze around them. He walked until they reached a quiet, secluded spot, his st

Chapter: Chapter 75Amara's face drained of color as she saw him standing there, Killian, after so many days. His mere presence seemed to pull her back into the darkness she had tried to escape. One glance at him, and all the strength she had gathered vanished, leaving her vulnerable, helpless, as if his very existence had the power to steal her will to fight.“Killian!” Aiden's sharp voice cut through the thick air. She watched as Killian turned to face him, his presence looming like a storm cloud.“What are you doing here?” Aiden demanded, taking a step closer towards him. Amara couldn’t see Killian’s expression, but the tightness in his body was unmistakable, like a coiled spring ready to snap.“Aiden,” Killian's voice was low, filled with something she couldn’t quite place. “I saw her, Amara. Just now—”Amara didn’t catch the rest of his words, her attention immediately drawn to Aiden, who locked eyes with her, sending a silent command through the sharpness of his gaze. She frowned when he sent a su

Chapter: Chapter 74Amara’s first day at Aiden’s office felt like stepping into an entirely different world. The building was a towering masterpiece, its sleek design and endless floors commanding attention even from a distance. Inside, the sheer number of employees moving with purpose, the hum of activity, and the opulence of the space left her momentarily speechless. She had known Aiden was rich but this went far beyond her expectations. It wasn’t just wealth; it was power and influence on a scale she hadn’t imagined, the kind that belonged to billionaires.And she didn't expect Aiden to be a billionaire. It had been a week since Aiden had offered her the job and asked her to start today. Now, here she was, standing at the reception, utterly clueless about where to go next.Her fingers tightened around the fabric of her dress as embarrassment crept in. The other employees looked like they had stepped straight off a runway, their outfits exuding elegance and likely costing more than anything she had ev

Chapter: Chapter 73Amara had moved on in her life, so easily, so boldly, so fiercely. She didn’t let the scars of her past hurt her, didn’t let the painful memories hold her back, and didn’t let the trauma stop her from moving toward her future. It was easy, wasn’t it?At least, that’s what she let the world believe.She wore her facade like a second skin, carrying it with grace and brilliance. The smile on her lips never faltered, masking the storm brewing behind her eyes. It was her armor, her way of keeping prying eyes from wandering too close, from seeing the cracks she so desperately tried to hide. To everyone watching, she seemed unshaken and strong. But the truth was far different, far more painful.It wasn’t easy. It never had been. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, not now and not ever. Because if it truly were, the scars wouldn’t still pierce through her soul, their sharp edges reminding her of every wound she had endured. The memories wouldn’t linger like ghosts, whispering in her ears and draggi

Chapter: Chapter 72Killian punched the bag with deadly force, each strike harder than the last. His fists slammed into the leather, knuckles turning raw and bloody, each blow fueled by a rage that seemed endless. His breaths came in ragged bursts, his chest heaving as the darkness in his mind swallowed him whole. The more he hit, the fiercer the storm inside him raged. With each punch, he sought an escape, but the darkness never left. It only grew more intense.He punched the bag again, his jaw clenching as her memory surged in his mind once more. He remembered her with every breath, every passing moment, as if she had carved herself into the very core of his being. She wasn’t just a part of his life; she had become his entire life. And how could he ever live when the very life he knew had been taken away from him?One week.One week had passed since Amara walked away from his life, and not once did she look back. It was as if he was nothing more than a chapter in a book, one she was forced to endure be
