Chapter: CHAPTER 39Elena It's another boring day in my life in this empty house. Archer has agreed to let me work at the orphanage, but he said he needs to do a little check before he would allow me to go there.I'm not sure why, but I don't really care; at least I've been able to convince him. That is the only thing I am proud of. Archer and Ric left the house early in the morning for god knows what. That means I'm home alone with my crush. I smiled sheepishly to myself. He's so hot. I stepped outside of my room and decided to take a walk in the garden since it was the only place I was allowed to go in the house. Savien was stationed in front of the door.He stood there, all mighty and handsome with his hand clasped behind him. His eyes scanned the surroundings like a hawk. His posture was straight and formal. “Hi,” I said with a small smile. His eyes met mine, and he gave me a bow. “Hello, Miss.” Oh my god, what is up with him and all these formalities? Can't he see that I'm trying to pursue him

Chapter: CHAPTER 38ElenaI opened my eyes slowly to an unfamiliar room. My face creased as I looked around. I tried sitting up, but I couldn't; that was when I realised. Fuck. Archer, I slept in Archer’s room. How the fuck did that even happen? Why is he cuddling me? What even happened last night? My head rang, and I winced softly as I clutched my forehead. What happened last night started to piece in. Archer saved me from drowning. Then he brought me home and slept beside me. I tried moving his hand away, but he tightened it even more. I let out a sigh of defeat as I lay there. Archer finally moved, and I immediately pretended to be asleep. He took his hand off me and got down from the bed. I heard the door close, and I opened one to look. “Phew, he left.” I murmured to myself as I sat up. Should I just go to my room? Or should I just be here? The door opened, and I didn't have time to pretend to fall asleep, so I just froze in place while looking at him.“You're up.” He walked closer while holdi

Chapter: CHAPTER 37Archer Ric, Savien, and I stood in the garden as we talked about the brazil shipment. Although I felt uneasy with the way Elena stared at Savien, I decided to play it cool. “We're still trying to salvage the situation. The Russians seem to be getting very close to us.” Ric added, his voice clipped but steady. “I want you guys to dig deeper into this case even though Don didn't put me in charge. I need to get to the bottom of this.”Savien replied with a firm nod. “We will, boss.” Ric said in a low tone. “Also, make sure that the new guards are—”“Mr Archer, Mr Archer.” One of the guards rushed towards me. His voice was filled with panic, and he was out of breath. We all looked at him with keen eyes. Waiting for him to say something. My brows furrowed as I looked at him. “What is it?” I asked impatiently in a cold voice. “Miss–Miss Elena. She fell in the pool. She's not coming up.” For a split second, I felt like my heart stopped beating. Then, without another word, I broke in

Chapter: CHAPTER 36 Elena We arrived in front of a heavy metal gate. After a few seconds, the doors opened to let us in. After driving for a few minutes, we finally got to the venue. It was glistening with lights and balloons. There was a huge pool with people surrounding it. My eyes darted around like a little kid. This place looked so good. The ballroom was huge, with beautiful chandeliers and beautiful paintings. “I thought you wouldn’t come.” We both turned our heads to the source of the voice. I believe his name is Hugo. I don't even know if they're friends or enemies. “Don gave me a special invitation, I'm not ready to pick up a fight with him.” He said as he slipped his hands into his pockets. He was wearing a cyan coloured top and some long pants. He looked good, though. “Wow, the almighty Archer is now following rules.” He scoffed, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. “Shut up.” There was a long pause as Hugo turned to me. “I have such bad manners, welcome. I can't touch y

Chapter: CHAPTER 35Elena I can't believe that I'm getting ready to go to that skank's birthday party. I don't know why Archer insists on going with me. She hates me; she wouldn't want to see me at her birthday party, so why is he taking me along?Archer is so unpredictable sometimes. I can never predict his next move. I still remember the night he stayed with me when I had a nightmare. I still can't comprehend. Why did he stay? I smoothed my hand over my beige dress as I turned to get a better look at myself in the mirror. How does Archer find such good clothes that fit my taste? I mean, I would have always worn clothes like this if I wasn't poor. It's almost like he's making me live my rich girl dream. The little girl in me must be giggling right now. I've always wanted to have expensive outfits, and now I'm getting them for free. The only thing I hate about this is that I'm attending events I don't want to go to. The dress was so beautiful, accentuating my curves nicely. I don't know how to do m

Chapter: CHAPTER 34Archer I tapped my forefinger on the table quietly as Don talked. Our shipments in Brazil were delayed, so we needed a plan to amend that. That was a total dick move if the Brazilians have a hand in this. They're playing with fire. It's like they sometimes forget who they're dealing with. The New York Mafia is the most powerful gang. Playing with us is like playing with fire. “I need answers, gentlemen. How did this happen?” Hugo looked tense. Well, he has to be because it was his mission.Although I believe it's not entirely his fault. Hugo is a perfectionist, so I know that he tried his best. “There was an ambush at the port, sir.” The veins on his forehead looked like they were going to pop. “The Brazilians didn't hold the end of their bargain. They bailed on us when the Russians showed up.” The room became noisy with murmurs. Of course, Russians again. These fuckers never give us a break. They're tailing us everywhere. I'm so sick of them and their stupid little games. Somet

His Possession
I kept on running with Kay as we manoeuvred our way through the messy crowd. Kay pulled me through and we finally got out of the club. We couldn't take the main entrance because Yoshim's men were there.
We were running through the dark alley, panting and gasping for air. Relief washed over me when I realised that I finally left that hell hole.
We kept on running when I heard a gunshot. I immediately halted and felt a warm liquid trickling down my arm.
I looked around and saw no wound, I glanced at Kay and my eyes widened. I immediately brought my hand to my mouth trying to suppress the scream that wanted to come out.
Kay held his arm as he bled profusely, he groaned in pain and fell on his knees. “Oh my God, Kay are you alright? Ugh, what am I going to do.” I said while hyperventilating.
I heard footsteps and looked up only to be met by those same devilish eyes. He wore a grin on his face. And to his left was Gail who clung to him like a barnacle.
How did he even know I escaped? “Haha, I overheard your little conversation with the guard, so I told Yoshim.” She smiled while talking.
“Gail, what the is wrong with you?” I said with anger and tears in my eyes. She shrugged her shoulders and her mouth curved into a smile.
I pressed my hand on Kay's wound to stop the bleeding, he groaned in pain and I couldn't stop my tears.
“I should've gotten rid of you a long time ago.” Yoshim said while pointing a gun to my head. I closed my eyes and waited for him to pull the trigger.

Chapter: CHAPTER 111Things had quieted down after my father's funeral. Hillary didn't want to leave Dahlia's side for even a second. I'm very proud of her for what she did with Kay. She's not the scared little girl I met in the club anymore. She's now a woman who would kill for her child. “Freckles,” she turned to look at me. “I want to take you out on a date,” I said to her while walking closer. She smiled widely and pulled me in for a hug. “Where are we going?” She asked while giggling like a little girl. “That's not for you to think about; just look pretty and let me spend the money.” Her face turned red with my statement, and she bowed her head to hide her flushed face. It's so funny how she still behaves like a little girl around me. I handed her a brand-new dress. It was a red dress that fitted her perfectly, showcasing her curves. She got a little belly fat after Dahlia, and I love it. I mostly grab it because it feels so squishy. She said she hated it, but I loved it. The dress was d

Chapter: CHAPTER 110Rodrigo Pov My phone rang. I pulled it out, and it was an unknown number. I looked at Fabio and then back to Hillary. I accepted the call and put it on speaker. “Rodrigo.” A male voice called; I recognised this voice.“Kay!” Hillary yelled. “Kay, if you have my baby, I swear to God that I'll kill you.” She threatened him.He only let out a throaty laugh. “Shouldn't you be watching that tone if you know that I have your baby?” “Kilian, you better count your fucking days.”“Shut up, Rodrigo; I want to talk to only Hillary. Listen, baby, we can still be together, just ditch this piece of trash, and we'll be together.”“Leave my baby out of this. She has nothing to do with this.”“I'll leave her on one condition.” “What is it?” She asked while breathing heavily. “Return to me. Once you do that, I'll let her go, but if not, I'll bring back your baby's dead body.” She gasped in disbelief. “I'll do it.” “Hillary,” I said angrily. “Just promise me that you'll give her back to me.” I s

Chapter: CHAPTER 109I nodded and made my way downstairs. I knew this day would come but didn't know when. How did she even find me?Why is she even here? We severed ties a long time ago when she decided to choose a man over me. Not just any man, my tormenter, the man who brought great misery and pain to my life.The man who scarred me so badly that I still haven't gotten over it. She betrayed me for him, and now she's here, and for what?I reached the hall, and my heart leapt when I saw the state she was in. She did a horrible thing to me, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten that she's my sister, I grew up with her, she's my blood, and I can't change that.She looks so lean and malnourished that she has dark circles under her eyes. She has scars all over her hands and feet. She also cut her long hair into a bob.Her eyes travelled to mine and immediately started tearing. “Hillary, oh my God, I'm so glad I found you.” She said as she hurried to my side. Just before she could touch me, I moved backwards,

Chapter: CHAPTER 108Hillary povDahlia kept on giggling as I swung her toys around her. The toys made a jiggling noise, and it made her laugh as she kicked her hands and her feet in the air. I'm happy to have her. She has healed a part of me that refused to heal. She made me forget that I had an ugly past. All I want to do is to protect her and to love her unconditionally. Rodrigo loves her so much. I thought he would've been angry or would've pushed me away for lying to him, but he wasn't.He tries his best to help me with Hillary, but he sucks at it. He's also very afraid to hold her, but whenever he does, he doesn't want to let her go.Where is he, though? He left in the morning, and it's almost 8 pm; why isn't he back yet? Did something happen at home? Or is he in a meeting?My thoughts were distorted when I heard his car come in. Dahlia was even falling asleep, the nerve of this girl. She sleeps anytime she wants and wakes up any time, crying like we're abusing her.Her bed is small, and beside ou

Chapter: CHAPTER 107Rodrigo Pov Hillary suddenly broke the kiss and stared into the thin air.“Is everything alright?” I asked with a puzzled expression. “Dahlia is crying.” She said while shoving me off her. I looked at her with disbelief as she scooted off the bed. I scoffed and sat up. A smile crept to my lips, and I got dressed. “Guess I'm not getting laid tonight. Sleep down hard-on.” I looked at my growing erection and went on to dress up. Having Hillary by my side felt surreal. Was it a dream or my imagination? Even if it is, I pray I never wake up. Her presence filled me with some type of energy I thought I never needed. She did bring colour to my black and white life, something I thought wasn't possible. Before I met her, I thought I'd never use the statement ‘I love you’ but here I am, always wanting to express my love to her in a million ways.She has now increased my joy by bearing my child, something I never dreamt of in the past. I despised children, I didn't want to have any because

Chapter: CHAPTER 106Rodrigo Pov “You… you're alive.” Hillary said with tears brimming in her eyes. She brought her hand closer to my face and I leaned into it.“Yes, I'm alive.” I said with a smile on my face. She held my hand and caressed it softly. “Were you hurt? Is everything alright with you?” She asked with concern all over her face.She looked a bit scared, like I'd disappear if she blinked. She kept on observing me. “Yes I'm fine, just a few scrapes, but I'll be fine.” She wrapped her hands around my neck and engulfed me in a warm hug. I froze for a split second, I was shocked that she just hugged me. Mainly because the last time I remember she hated me and pushed me away.I wrapped my hands around her, deepening the hug. I missed it, and I needed it so bad. I buried my face in the nook of her neck, inhaling her sweet aroma that I missed so much.Being like this wasn't even enough for me, I wanted her closer, I needed her, I wanted her and I miss her. My life felt empty and useless when I lost
