Chapter: Chapter 434The possibility of getting to cook again filled me with strength. “Let’s make a stop at a grocery shop,” I said to Ashley. “Of course. We’d also pick up something for you to eat as well. You haven’t..” “No!” I said more sharply than intended. “Please. I’ll eat when I’m done cooking,” I maintained

Chapter: Chapter 433(ARIELLE’S POV.) It felt like stepping out of a dream. A long one. The world was a blur around me, full of bright colors swirling into each other in a dizzying dance in the corners of my eyes.

Chapter: Chapter 431“Okay, how about… the bartender from that rooftop dinner we went to?” “Arielle!” Ashley exclaimed, feigning offense. “Seriously? A random bartender?” I shrugged. “Hey, you never know. Besides, you said it yourself that he was your type.” She rolled her eyes and didn't say a word. I continued the

Chapter: Chapter 430(ARIELLE’S POV) I halted, my mind going blank. Pregnant? Ashley? It felt unbelievable. The Ashley I know would never let a man knock her up without marriage, she was that uptight. My eyes darted from her beaming face to the hand she was now placing on her stomach. “Pregnant?” The word escaped my l

Chapter: Chapter 429(ARIELLE'S POV) “Surprise!” She exclaimed, her face beaming with smiles as she stepped fully into the room, pulling a small suitcase behind her.

Chapter: Chapter 24(LUCAS'S POV)The whistle blew, cutting through the intense practice going on the field. My lungs were burning, but the familiar thrill of incoming victory kept me going. The intercollege tournament was coming up fast, and the energy on the field was at its peak. Cheers came from the sidelines, a blend of excited teammates and fans. I even spotted Miranda in the crowd, her eyes glued to me, trying to appear supportive but with that possessive vibe she always had.We had a tie, a tight 2–1, the sophomores putting up a tough fight. Just as I was about to return to the game having recovered my breath, the cheers suddenly died down. Everyone was dispersing and gathering in groups as they fixated on their phones, a weird, silent focus taking over. They were all staring at their screens, looking engrossed and murmuring. It was like something big was happening in their phones.“What's up?” I asked Ben, our midfielder, as he fumbled the ball, his eyes shifting towards the crowd, looking cu

Chapter: Chapter 23(ANNALISE'S POV)The drive back to campus felt bittersweet. Leaving Landon had felt like a needle pricking my chest, especially at his disappointed expression. But beneath the sadness was a sense of relief. Back in the familiar and less luxurious confines of my dorm room, surrounded by my textbooks and notes, made me feel better.I quickly unpacked, and laid out my study materials on my small desk, the weight of the upcoming tests already beginning to make me feel tense.Hours flew by as I completely immersed myself in my studies. I re-read lecture notes, highlighted key points, and worked through past questions. My initial anxiety began to subside, replaced by a growing feeling of confidence. And just as I was gathering momentum, a sudden commotion erupted outside my door. Loud voices, followed by sharp laughters. Curiosity and anger gripped me as I couldn't understand why anyone would be making that much noise in the dormitory. But before I could even approach the door, it swung

Chapter: Chapter 22(ANNALISE'S POV)The next day, I woke up to find Landon still asleep, his arms wrapped securely around me. A soft smile played on my lips as I watched his handsome features, the morning light that was beginning to stream in from the gaps in the window, casting gentle shadows across his face. He looked so peaceful in his sleep, a stark contrast to the tense and jealous man from the night before. Carefully, I unwrapped his hand from my waist, mindful not to disturb him, And slipped out of bed. The need to empty my bladder was pressing, so I quietly made my way to the ensuite bathroom.Relief flooded my system as I finished, and I lingered a little, splashing cold water on my face to fully wake myself. Back in the bedroom, Landon was still sound asleep, his chest rising and falling in a pattern. I walked to the table and grabbed my phone, the urge to check for updates tugging at me. I wanted to know if there was any news from the hospital about my mother, and also to see if anything wa

Chapter: Chapter 21(ANNALISE'S POV)A few seconds passed between us, the silence thick with unspoken accusations. I finally mustered the courage to approach Landon, who stood rigid, his face a blanket of cold indifference. “Landon,” I began, my voice soft, “you need to stop this. Stop being jealous.”He scoffed, turning away slightly. “Jealous? Don't be ridiculous. I'm not Jealous.”“Yes, you are,” I insisted, stepping closer. “You're acting like I'm choosing Lucas over you.”He turned back now, his eyes flashing like I had struck a chord. “And didn't you? He kissed you, and you just let him. He insulted me, but I'm the one who got yelled at while you comforted him.”I couldn't help it, a burst of laughter escaping my throat as the tension was momentarily broken. “You're so obvious,” I teased, reaching out to playfully tug at his arm. “You're absolutely green with envy.”He tried to maintain his stern facade, but a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. “I am not,” he grumbled, though the

Chapter: Chapter 20(ANNALISE'S POV)Landon strode towards Lucas, his steps swift and deliberate. The energy around him reeked of rage. “What do you want here, Lucas?” he asked, his voice strained and menacing. “Why do you insist on being a thorn in my flesh?”Lucas met his gaze, his green eyes gleaming with defiance. “A thorn? I'd say you're the one who's stolen what's rightfully ours,” he retorted, his gaze straying to me for a brief, unsettling moment. “Our mate.”Landon’s jaw tightened. “Don't spew nonsense. Go find Miranda. She's waiting for you.”“Keep Miranda out of this,” Lucas hissed, his voice sharp. “This is between you, me Logan, and Annalise.” His eyes returned to me, roaming over my exposed legs as I was still clad in Landon's oversized shirt. I shifted uncomfortably on one foot, feeling heart rising to my cheeks. Lucas' gaze then wandered to Landon's bare chest, and a smirk twisted his lips. "So, you've already taken her to bed, haven't you? Stolen her away so you could have your way and

Chapter: Chapter 19(ANNALISE'S POV)An hour later, we were done with dinner and everywhere had grown dark. Landon used the button under the table to summon the chef, and as she cleared the table, he gave an instruction.“We’re retiring for the night, but I have an order arriving soon. Have it picked up when it arrives,” he said to the chef as she dutifully packed up the silverwares.And then he turned to me and flashed a smile. “Let's go.” I obeyed and accepted his outstretched arm as we exited the dining room On arriving in his room, although I had been there earlier during the tour, I still couldn't get over its sheer beauty. The walk-in closest alone that I was sure housed all his luxurious fashion accessories, took up a major part of the space, but still the room was still spacious.“Your space is breathtaking,” I gasped.“Thank you,” he smiled. And then he took off his shirt.“Huh?” I asked, my eyes narrowing. “What are you doing?”“Taking off my shirt,” he responded, looking at me like I had ask
