Chapter: PregnantAria.I didn't feel well.My heart was pounding like a drum in my chest. The toy shop around me seemed to blur, the edges of my vision getting fuzzy.What's happening to me?This can't be happening now. Not here, not with Mila.Think, Aria, think. What's Viktor planning?My mind returned to Anya, her evil smirk, and her cold, deadly eyes.Should I come clean with Axel?No! He'll kill me. Bloody Viktor!He's left me in the dark. I have no idea if Nilo or Zara are alive.Oh God, breathe, just breathe."Look, Aria!" Mila's voice rang through the haze, and I turned to see her eyes shining with excitement. She was pointing at the dollhouses lined up on a shelf, each one more elaborate than the next. "See this one?" she chirped, pulling me closer. "It's got a little garden and a swing. And this one here's got tiny rooms, and you can even see the little dishes in the kitchen!""Yeah, Mila, they're beautiful," I managed to say, my voice sounding distant even to my own ears. I tried to focus o

Chapter: Where's AriaAxel.Emerging from the gym, my muscles hot and my mind still a jumble of fresh release and frustration, I barely noticed Svetlana reprimanding one of the maids. My focus was elsewhere. I needed to find Mila."Svetlana, where's Mila?"The maid scurried away, and Svetlana turned her steely gaze to me. "Miss Yakov is in the garden, sir.""Good. Spasibo." I was already moving, but Svetlana wasn't finished."Mr. Yakov, if I may, the arrangements for the party on Saturday need your attention. There are some decisions that require your approval."I stopped, glancing back at her, irritation flaring. "Can't it wait, Svetlana? I will go over it with you later."She nodded, her face betraying nothing. "Very well, sir. I will have everything ready for your review."I didn't bother with a reply, already striding toward the garden. My mind was filled with Mila, my little sister, all alone out there. The garden was filled with our muscle-bound soldiers, always on guard, but it didn't change the ach

Chapter: Raw, Rough, Reckless?Aria."I came here for Mila," I snapped, though my voice quivered, betraying the lie. "Not to...to..."Fuck you. God knows I was so horny right then.I had no business in Axel's private gym, I knew it, but I couldn't help myself. Word around the house was that he'd been cooped up here for days. Mila had been asking for her big brother, her face going all teary-eyed at night.Or maybe I was just trying to fool myself. Maybe it was me who couldn't stand his absence anymore.Yes, I fucking missed him.The truth was, I wanted him. I wanted all of him.And there he was. Fresh out of the shower, muscles rippling, water dripping down his goddamn perfect body. His

Chapter: Sweat and TemptationAxel.My towel hit the hamper, still heavy with sweat from my workout. My gym was the only place where I could get Aria out of my fucking head. I'd been pounding the punching bag for the last hour. Anything to keep my mind from spiraling.The desire was eating at me, gnawing away like a constant itch I couldn't scratch.Aria.Just the thought of her name made my cock twitch. I'd been avoiding her, burying myself in work, burying myself in anything to distract from the hunger. But it was there, always there, lurking just beneath the surface.Anyone could be a fucking rat for Viktor, even Aria.I scolded myself, my internal voice raw with warning.Shit, I needed to get a grip. But right then, it wasn't my head that was doing the thinking – it was my cock.I told myself I could stay away, that I could resist her. But who was I kidding? The need was too strong, too raw.Dammit, I wanted her. And I knew, deep down, that it was a craving I wouldn't be able to fight much longer.Coming out o

Chapter: Silent InstructionsAria.For a split second, an evil grin flickered across Anya's face, like a glimmer of moonlight on a dark pond. But it was gone as quickly as it came, leaving me wondering if I'd imagined it. Her eyes, though, were a different story – hard, cold, devoid of any semblance of warmth or humanity. It was like staring into the eyes of a shark.In a voice so low, it was practically a breath of wind, she muttered, "Viktor wants you to get ready."The name hit me like a sucker punch, knocking all the air out of me. "Anya... you're..." The rest of the words stuck in my throat as if my vocal cords had gone on strike.My heart skipped a beat. Viktor. She was on his side. Anya, the aloof maid, was also Viktor's spy."Quiet!" Anya hissed, making me snap my mouth shut faster than a mousetrap. That chilling smile she wore moments ago vanished as if it was never there, replaced by the usual wallflower act I'd expected from her.I watched, flabbergasted, as she receded back into the crowd, a chameNilo

Chapter: Not just a Party.Aria.I walked into the maid's quarters – a palace in its own right. It was larger than the house I grew up in, decorated with Russian luxury. Gold accents, ornate fixtures, the works. The room was abuzz with quiet whispers. Svetlana's meeting was about to start.Holy hell. I eyed the horde of maids gathered in the room. Did the Yakovs employ the entire female population of Russia?I kept my gaze low, avoiding the intensity of the curious stares boring into me. It felt like walking onto a stage in the middle of a performance – all spotlights and hushed anticipation. I kept my face blank, trying to exude a calm I didn't feel. My heart thudded in my chest, a wild drumbeat against the quiet whispers around me.I headed toward a corner where the least number of gossipy hens were huddl

Chapter: Dialysis & DeadlinesMayaMy phone rang as I was leaving Thorne Designs' parking garage after the emotionally charged almost-kiss with Alex. Dr. Patel's name on the screen sent immediate dread through me—he never called after hours unless the situation was serious.I pulled over in the garage exit lane, heart pounding. "Hello?""Ms. Russo." His clinical tone barely masked urgency. "I'm sorry to inform you that Lulu's kidney function has deteriorated significantly."My free hand gripped the steering wheel. "How bad?""The standard treatment protocol isn't sufficient anymore. We need to start dialysis immediately and consider specialized medication that unfortunately isn't covered by standard insurance.""What kind of costs

Chapter: Mountain SecretsDanielI swirled eighteen-year-old scotch in my crystal tumbler, watching city lights glitter like jewels beyond my penthouse office windows. Darkness had fallen hours ago, but I hadn't bothered turning on more than a single lamp, preferring the dramatic shadows it cast across my immaculate space. Drama had its uses—created the right atmosphere for intimidation, for wielding power.The panoramic view offered a perfect vantage point over the financial district where Thorne Designs headquarters sat illuminated among other corporate towers. From here, I could almost imagine watching Maya working late with Alex Thorne—a thought that tightened my jaw despite my outward calm. The idea of her with him, looking at him the way she once looked at me, made my fingers clench around the glass.A discrete knock interrupted my contemplation

Chapter: Almost ThereMayaI found myself sharing my determination to maintain creative integrity despite industry pressure; Alex revealed insecurities beneath his confident leadership that few would suspect existed. We'd migrated to sitting side by side reviewing final presentation materials, shoulders occasionally touching as we leaned over the same document. Each casual contact sent sparks across my skin, a ridiculous physical reaction I hadn't experienced since I was a teenager.The logical part of my brain screamed warnings—he's your boss, you're still technically married, your life is a fucking disaster right now—but my body had its own agenda, hyperaware of his proximity, the clean scent of his skin, the heat emanating from him barely inches away.I looked up mid-sentence about production timelines to find Alex watching me with an intensity

Chapter: Small Cut, Big MemoryMaya"Alex?" I asked, confused by his disproportionate response.He didn't seem to hear me, trapped in some internal vision. His breathing grew more labored, hands gripping the table edge with white-knuckle force.I quickly wrapped my finger with a tissue and approached cautiously. "Alex, it's just a small cut. Nothing serious."When I touched his arm, he flinched violently before awareness seemed to return to his eyes. "I'm—I'm sorry," he stammered, visibly fighting for control. "Blood—I can't—" He cut himself off, clearly embarrassed but still trembling.The strong, composed man I'd come to know had vanished, replaced by someone struggling with what appeared to be a serious trauma response. I guided him to sit in another chair,

Chapter: Cutting EdgeMayaThe Thorne Designs conference room glowed with soft lamplight as outside windows reflected city darkness. It was past 10 PM, but the Takeda presentation tomorrow demanded perfection. Discarded takeout containers and empty coffee cups littered the table around spread design prototypes. I'd been working nonstop since returning from Olivia's office, channeling my anxiety into productive refinement of the collection.Alex had joined me around eight, bringing fresh coffee and a quiet, focused energy that actually helped settle my frayed nerves. We worked in comfortable silence punctuated by occasional questions, our collaborative rhythm established over weeks of late nights. The professional focus was exactly what I needed—concrete problems with definable solutions, unlike the chaotic legal and personal issues consuming the rest of my life.

Chapter: Paper TrailMayaI slept with the lights on, the glass bead burning a hole in my clenched fist all night. Every creak and settling sound in the building had me bolt upright, heart hammering against my ribs. By morning, exhaustion had dulled the initial panic to a persistent, low-grade dread.The bead—physical evidence of a connection I was still struggling to comprehend—sat on my bathroom counter as I showered and dressed. Part of me wanted to throw it away, to reject whatever game Daniel was playing. But I couldn't bring myself to discard the only tangible link to fragments of memory that kept surfacing with increasing clarity."Mariposa," I whispered to my reflection, testing the nickname that had appeared in Daniel's note. Little Butterfly. The name stirred something deep and half-forgotten—a woman's voice calling me in from pla

Chapter: ArrivalAva"Mommy! He's here!" Emilia's voice echoed up the stairs, a mixture of alarm and fascination.Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my clutch and headed downstairs. Alex was standing in the foyer, looking unfairly handsome in a perfectly tailored navy suit that highlighted his broad shoulders and trim waist. He was holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a gift bag in the other."Ava," he said, his eyes widening slightly as I descended the stairs. "You look... incredible."Something warm unfurled in my chest at the genuine appreciation in his gaze. I tamped it down quickly, reminding myself that Alex Russo was a master of manipulation. This was all part of the act."Thank you," I said, my voice more breathless than I'd intended. "You clean up pretty

Chapter: Crowning MomentAva."Seriously, Mom? That's what you're wearing?"I glanced down at my outfit—dark jeans paired with a simple blue blouse—then back at my daughter, who was regarding me with the kind of withering judgment only a nine-year-old could deliver."What's wrong with this?" I asked, smoothing the blouse self-consciously.Emilia rolled her eyes dramatically. "It's boring. You look like you're going to work, not dinner with Grandpa." She paused, then added with reluctant honesty, "And that guy.""That guy," I repeated, biting back a smile. "You mean Alex?""Whatever." Emilia flopped onto my bed, watching as I rummaged through my closet. "Grandpa's going to think you don't even care."I sighed, pulling out a burgundy wrap dress I hadn't worn in months. "Better?"Emilia's nose scrunched up as she considered the dress. "I guess. But you should wear the green one. The one Grandpa says makes your eyes look pretty."My heart squeezed at her concern for my father's opinion. Despite her occasional pre

Chapter: BoundriesAlexI turned to my computer, trying to focus on work, but my mind kept drifting. I found myself typing Ava's name into a search engine, scanning recent articles about her. Most focused on our engagement, but some highlighted her business achievements, her journey as a young widow raising a child while running a tech empire.One photo caught my eye—Ava at what appeared to be a school function, crouched down to Emilia's level, both of them laughing. There was such joy in their expressions, such genuine connection. It made something in my chest ache with a longing I couldn't quite identify.I closed the browser quickly, unsettled by my own reaction. This was getting too personal, too complicated. I needed to refocus, to remember why we'd started this charade in the first place.Business.

Chapter: Family InterventionAlexA soft knock at my door interrupted my thoughts. My assistant poked her head in. "Your sister is here to see you."Before I could respond, Claire burst into my office, a whirlwind of energy and expensive perfume."Well, if it isn't the man of the hour," she announced, dropping dramatically into the chair across from me. "Engaged! To Ava Silver, no less. You certainly know how to keep things interesting, big brother."I couldn't help smiling at my sister's theatrical entrance. Four years younger and infinitely more sociable than me, Claire had always been the family charmer."It's not what you think," I started.She held up a perfectly manicured hand. "Save it.

Chapter: Fake Love, Real CrisisAlex.With a sigh, I answered. "Vivian.""Finally," her voice was tight, controlled. "I was beginning to think you'd fallen off the face of the earth.""I've been busy.""Too busy to explain those photos?" The hurt beneath her anger was palpable, even through the phone. "You told me it was just business, Alex. That kiss didn't look like business."I winced, knowing exactly which photos she meant. The balcony. Ava pressed against me, my hands on her body. It had looked real because in that moment, it had been."Vivian—""Don't 'Vivian' me," she cut in. "I believed you when you said this engagement was fake. I agreed to be patient. But what I saw in those photos wasn't acting, Alex.""It was for the cameras," I said, aware of how hollow the excuse sounded. "The media was watching. We had to make it convincing.""That convincing?" Her voice cracked slightly. "Your tongue was down her throat, Alex. Your hands were all over her. You never touch me like that in public."I closed my eyes, sh

Chapter: Conflicted LoyaltiesAlex."So, gentlemen, that concludes our quarterly overview." I closed the presentation with a decisive click, surveying the boardroom. The usual suspects stared back at me – old money in expensive suits, their expressions ranging from boredom to barely concealed curiosity. I knew what they were waiting for, and it wasn't my thoughts on our Asian market expansion."Any questions?" I asked, deliberately casual.Harold Kensington, a relic from my father's era, cleared his throat. "Just one, Alex. This... engagement to Ava Silver. Is it wise?"I kept my expression neutral, though my jaw tightened. "In what way, Harold?""Strategically speaking." He adjusted his glasses, giving him time to choose his words. "Silver Innovations directly competes with us in three key markets. The board is concerned about potential conflicts of interest.""A competitor turned partner," I corrected smoothly.
