Chapter: Chapter 75: Wild Part Of YouHer smile turned wicked. “Something strong.” “No,” he said immediately. “No?” she echoed. “I don’t think you can handle something strong yet.” Her mouth fell open. “Excuse me?” “I’ll get you fruit juice.” She gasped dramatically. “You’re violating my rights, Mr. Kain. And yes—I am very much a grown woman.” “A reckless one,” he added mildly. “Which is worse.” She stepped closer, hands on her hips. “Stop treating me like I'm a glass that’ll shatter, if I blink too hard.” His gaze dropped briefly to her lips before lifting again. “I’m not underestimating you,” he said quietly. “I’m assessing risk.” “Oh, I’m a risk now?” “You always were.” That shut her up for exactly two seconds. He returned with two glasses. She took hers, inspected it suspiciously, then downed it in one smooth gulp. “There,” she said triumphantly. “Alive.” His eyes widened. “That wasn’t impressive. That was alarming.” She giggled. “Magic trick!” “No more tricks.” “Spin me.” “Absolutely not.” “Kain.

Chapter: Chapter 74: What Do you Like? “I still care about Rob,” she said quietly into the phone. “I’m just with a friend.” Friend. The word stung sweeter than jealousy ever had. She turned and startled when she saw him. “Why are you up? You should be resting.” “I was worried,” he lied easily. “There are kidnappers on the sea.” She blinked. Then sighed. “I’m fine.” Fine. She still liked Rob. Before he could speak, the yacht shifted suddenly. A sharp lurch. Jade lost her balance. Kain caught her without effort, arms closing around her as if that had always been the plan. She landed against his chest, breath caught, eyes wide. “I have something important to tell you,” she said softly. His heart slammed. He didn’t give her time. “Stay,” he murmured, holding her close. “Tonight.” Her brows drew together. “Why?” He pulled her into a tight hug, voice low, reckless, tender. “Because this is our first night as a married couple.” Her eyes widened. “How—” He cut her off, holding her closer as t

Chapter: Chapter 73: Take Your PickThe words pierced Jade somewhere tender. If only you knew, she thought. If only you knew the man you raised. Rob couldn’t even be honest with his own mother about the truth. About the breakup. About the cruelty he wore so easily. Mario’s voice pushed through again, urgent. “Jade. Decide. I’m here.” Her chest collapsed inward. No. The woman tightened her grip, almost panicked now. “Don’t go,” she begged. “Please. Don’t leave Rob.” Rain kept falling. Heavy. Relentless. Jade stood there, soaked through, frozen between two worlds. The past that broke her. The present rushing toward her like a crash she couldn’t outrun. All it would take was one sentence. One choice. Just say it. Tell him you’re not going anywhere. Stay with Rob… or run toward Kain. And whatever she chose— Someone would lose everything. . . . Kain was halfway through a second cookie, crumbs betraying him over the marble counter, when he heard the door. Soft. Rushed. Uneve

Chapter: Chapter 72: Bruised Your EgoRob’s smile widened. “I never loved you. You’re ugly. Too skinny. But at least I tolerated you. You should count yourself lucky I kept you at all.” The words shattered on impact. He watched them hit her. He enjoyed it. “I’ve always loved Scarlett,” he went on lightly. “You were never the one I wanted. I only came to you because she rejected me at first. I mean—look at her. A model. And then there’s you.” He shrugged. “Be realistic.” Jade’s vision blurred. She hated herself for that. “Reality doesn’t bend just because you’re crying,” Rob said coolly. “Face it.” Her heart felt scorched. Hollowed. She clapped once. Soft. Broken. “Wow,” she whispered. “You both deserve awards. Truly. All that effort… just to ruin me.” Her voice trembled but didn’t break. “So you settled for me. Used me. Wasted my time. Because you couldn’t have what you wanted.” “Yes.” His grin widened. “And I sold it beautifully. You believed every second of it.” She staggered back as if struck. “Kudos,” she

Chapter: Chapter 71: Dangerously HopefulWhy did it feel like she was slipping away when she was never really his to begin with? Kain stood at the edge of the yacht, the night stretched open around him, black water breathing softly below. He lifted the small bubble wand to his lips and blew. Fragile spheres floated into the dark, catching light for half a second before vanishing. Beautiful things never stayed. “Why do I feel like I’m slowly losing her?” he asked quietly. Then, softer, almost embarrassed by the confession, “Or am I just delusional because we met once, years ago, at a carnival… and my old stupid heart decided that meant fate?” Mario didn’t answer right away. He watched him, brows drawn, concern etched into his usually easy face. “You were sure about her from the beginning,” Mario finally said. “That hasn’t changed.” Kain laughed. A short, humorless sound. “Sure?” He shook his head. “Mario, I tricked her. I put marriage papers in her hands and told her they were freedom. I did it to save her, y

Chapter: Chapter 33A month ago:As I stand here, silently observing the world as it continues to turn around me, a profound and a somber ache takes root in the depths of my chest. Each passing moment serves as a stark reminder of the stark contrast between their lives and mine. They stride through their days unburdened, pursuing their aspirations with a sense of freedom that eludes me. Meanwhile, I find myself ensnared within the confines of a reality that I never wished for nor chose.“Every day, the yearning within me intensifies, an insatiable hunger for something more. I long to shatter the shackles that my family's expectations have placed upon me. I burn with the desire to chase my passions, to venture into unexplored territories, and to infuse vitality into the dreams that haunt my restless nights. Yet, every step I take seems like a battle, an unending struggle against the oppressive weight of their demands and the chains of tradition that bind me,” I reflect, my thoughts continuing to echo in t

Chapter: Chapter 28In this intricate web of longing and uncertainty, the world had taken on an ephemeral quality, reduced to a backdrop for her yearning. Time flowed with the pulse of notifications, and each ding, each buzz, carried the potential to shift her reality. As the days melded into nights and then back into days, Ava's existence became intertwined with the device that held the key to a door she desperately wished to open.Her phone, once a constant companion and harbinger of anticipation, became a weight in her hand. The persistent staring yielded to a sense of resignation, a realization that the insistent vigilance was claiming too much of her mental real estate. The hope she held onto like a fragile flame was gradually extinguished by the relentless passage of time.It was in the midst of one such early midday, as the sun stretched its rays across the sky, that the familiar ringtone pierced the air. The screen flickered with an unknown number, a digitized beacon in the sea of uncertainty. Un
