Chapter: CHAPTER 61ElenaMy heart was beating so fast as I stared at the doctor in shock. I was just hoping that he would later say that he was joking. Please, please, say you're joking. I couldn't even look at Edward. How am I pregnant? Fuck, what am I going to do?How could I get pregnant with an engaged man? A dangerous mafia man at that. My plans to escape are now ruined, what if he asks me to stay and be his mistress because of the kid?How can I be with a man I've betrayed? Oh fuck, I'm doomed. What am I going to do? I don't want to abort the child either.“Thanks, Doctor, you can leave. You know the drill, if I find out that this news is circulating, I'm coming for you and your family.” He threatened the doctor. “No need to worry, sir.” The doctor said as he packed his stuff and left. I was still shocked and glued to my bed. I couldn't think straight. I felt the bed sink beside me, so I turned and saw Edward sitting down beside me.I shifted away from him. “I won't abort my baby,” I said defe

Chapter: CHAPTER 60ElenaI was in the living room with Sena as she cleaned. Sena has literally become like my best friend here, so I just talk to her anytime I'm bored, and she's very sweet. “I think the Master is really warming up to you.”“That's just what you think; Edward is just using me to kill time,” I said while sighing and lying on the sofa.“Wait, what did you say?” She turned with a shocked expression. I shot her a confused look. “I said that I think he's just using me.”“No, you mentioned a name before that.”“Edward?” Her hand shot to her mouth before looking around and rushing to my side. “What is it?” I asked with a puzzled expression. “Did he tell you to call him that?” I chuckled lightly at her statement. “Why do you look so surprised? I mean, it's his name. Of course, people are going to call him that.”“No,” she sighed inwardly. “You don't get it; no one dares call him by his name; the only person who calls him that is the mafia leader and his best friend. He doesn't let anyone ca

Chapter: CHAPTER 59ArcherI crouched to meet the height of the little girl who was standing in front of me. "We're here to get you out," I said, keeping my voice calm but firm. "You don’t have to be afraid." They all looked terrified, I don't know how to comfort kids, how the fuck did Elena do it so easily?I wish she was here though. Maybe she could've helped. No one moved. Ric stepped forward. "Listen, we don’t have time for this. We’re the good guys." The kids looked at each other's faces, hesitation evident in their movements. “Elena asked us to help you guys.”Their eyes lit up. “Miss Elena?” The little girl asked with so much anticipation. “Yes, she asked me to help you guys.”“Is she here with you?”“No, but she'll see you guys soon.”"Where are you taking us?" "Somewhere safe," I said. "A real orphanage. One that you'll all be cared for and safe.”She swallowed hard, then nodded. "Okay. Come on, guys,” she told the other kids, and they all stood on their feet.That was all we needed. Th

Chapter: CHAPTER 58Archer 1 WEEK LATERI sat in my chair with my whisky in my hand as I stared at Savien. He stood there quietly with his hands behind him. I'm in my penthouse right now. I normally come here to take care of matters more privately. Savien had received enough treatment, and now he had recovered. I refrained from questioning him while he was unwell because I just didn't want to. “So, Savien.” I began, my tone smooth and calm as I shifted in my seat“Mind telling me what actually happened?” I asked while leaning into my chair. “Miss Elena had escorted the kids to the eatery and decided to go to the restroom; she told me to wait for her outside, so I did what she asked me to. I waited for over 3 minutes, and she wasn't coming out, so I panicked. I banged on the door and asked her if she was fine, but she didn't respond. I had no choice but to barge inside. Upon barging in, I saw a man holding her at gunpoint. I needed to save her, so I tried fighting him off, and that was when he shot

Chapter: CHAPTER 57Archer My forefinger tapped on my thigh as I drove to Don's house. I haven't really gotten the time to speak to him ever since the annual ball. I didn't want to cause a scene.How could he make such a big decision without consulting me first? That is crazy. Does he think I'm some pushover?I arrived inside the mansion and headed straight to his office. I stormed into Don’s office without knocking. I stood there with my hands in my pockets as I stared at him blankly. He sat there quietly, unfazed by my intrusion and just swirled his glass of whiskey. "Edward," he said smoothly without even glancing up. "What brings you here in such a mood?" He said, acting clueless. I scoffed loudly, getting pissed about his behaviour. I slammed my hands on his desk, making the whiskey tremble in its glass. "You announced my engagement to Crystal without telling me first. Why did you do that? I already told you before that I didn't want to marry her.” Don raised an eyebrow as if I’d just complain

Chapter: CHAPTER 56ElenaMy heart beat so fast as we hugged. Archer was immersed in the hug and didn't even want to let me go. He finally broke the hug, staring deeply into my eyes with so much emotion. His once icy grey eyes seemed to have melted. His thumb brushed on my cheeks, sending electric sparks throughout my body. My eyes were also fixed on his. I started studying his facial features.From his bushy eyebrows to his crooked nose to his plumb lips and his high-defined cheekbones. Archer is just a very handsome man. We didn't say anything to each other, but our eyes said a lot. I blinked slowly as I looked at him. His face came closer to mine. I wanted to move away so badly, but I felt glued to the spot. He pressed his lips lightly on mine, making my tummy twist and turn. He pulled back and stared at my lips while licking his. I suddenly felt his erection poking my stomach. We hadn't even done anything yet, and he was aroused. His breathing became heavier as he stared at me. I wish I could rea

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
