“Ja…cob, what's the problem? what are you doing?” I stammered. his strong breath tickling my nerves. He was standing close to me, much closer than how friends were supposed to be.
“The problem is today is the last day of our stay in this hell hole, and probably the last we see of each other,” he said, his voice dark.
“I…we can call, or maybe visit…” I was saying when his lips crashed on mine, sealing my heart.

Chapter: Chapter 124: the endAlex’s POV The morning light streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. The soft sound of the distant waters gives the scene a peaceful and otherworldly atmosphere. I stirred from my sleep. My muscles screamed as I stretched myself. my body was aching in places I never knew could ache. My whole body was sore, and my back felt like it had been through a battle. but the warmth pressed against me made it all worth it. Andrian’s strong arms were wrapped around my waist possessively, as if he couldn’t bear to let me go at all. his chest continued to rise and fall gently, behind me. I turned slightly, careful not to wake him, and watched his peaceful face. He looked so different like this, no arrogance, no fierce possessiveness, no weight pulling him down, just a man completely at ease. A lazy smile spread across my lips. Last night had been…well it was a rough night. The way he touched me, the way he held me, as if I was the only thing that mattered in th

Chapter: Chapter 123: I love you sexual content ahead ‼️‼️Alex pov “You are mine” andrian growled like an animal. I couldn’t help the ecstacy that ran through my body from his deep, possessive words. I have never thought of someone owing me before. Hell no, I don't even have such fetish, but hearing andrian say it. It brought out a lot of things in me. My heart shook, almost answering to his statement. “Yes, I am yours” I said back, matching his tempo. One time, I was standing on the beach, and the next andrian lifted me up like I weighed nothing. His hands rested on my bottom as he painfully squeezed. I gasp, the pleasure running inside me was too much to comprehend. I clung to him for dear life, as I let andrian abuse my mouth. I was completely at his mercy. A whimper escaped my lips as he trailed traces of kiss from my jaw down to my neck. My toes tingle, and everything suddenly becomes blurry to me. The stars, the genlt waves lapping against the shore, the breeze, everything stilled. As I stared at

Chapter: Chapter 122: He is aliveAndrian pov “Alex!” He was whole. Alive. I wasn’t dreaming. His blue eyes met mine, and for the first time in over a year, I felt the ground would open and swallow me. His face held no atome of expression. I wanted to gauge from that, but I found nothing. only his blue eyes was fixated on me, staring at mèso intensely. It suddenly felt like the world, my surroundings, everything had disappeared, only Alex was in my world. For the past twenty minutes, neither of us had moved, neither of us had spoken. We just stood there, staring at each other like if we so much as blinked, the other would disappear. “Alex…” I repeated. Unable to form concurrent thoughts. His name was a whisper in my mind, a ghost I had never truly let go of. All this time, I had tried to delude myself, and I had moved on. But seeing him standing in front of me. All those feelings I had desperately locked off came rushing out like a dam. He was, real, standing right in front of me, looking both f

Chapter: Chapter 121: life on the islandAndrian pov Today was another bright day. The sun was already getting ready to shower the island with its blissful light. It was a day of work. Another day of burying myself in work. The world had long since moved on. And so had I. Or at least, that’s what I kept trying to let myself believe. It had been over a year since I left the hospital, since I turned my back on everything, the empire, the fortune, the past. My father’s reign had crumbled into dust, his empire swallowed by scavengers. It should have mattered to me. It should have made me feel something. But it didn’t. The one thing that mattered to me most has been taken away from me by the same man who calls himself my father. Without hesitation, I came and testified in the court. That was all it took to send him to life imprisonment , for attempted murder, and involvement in drug dealing and human trafficking. Well, I was also surprised when all the evidence was dug up. I know that my father was a fraudster and a w

Chapter: chapter 120: Waking upALEX’S POV Six Months Later Darkness. That was all I had known. I have lost even a sense of time. I didn’t know how long I had been here ,but I only knew that it's been a long time. Time didn’t move here. There was no past, no present, no future. Just an endless abyss where memories flickered like broken film reels, playing over and over again. I was awake, and at the same time, I was not awake. I could hear voices that sounded like the voices of the nurses and doctors coming in every day. They would whisper in hushed tones before leaving immediately. And every time, I would scream and shout at them. I tried to ask them what was wrong, but each time, I was met with nothing. At times, my mother would stay with me for days. Talking about sweet things when our family was whole again. I was playing in the snow, or my father took the little me to the children's park. I could feel her sadness coming out in waves, but I can't do anything about it. I could only.lie down, to li

Chapter: Chapter 119: moving onAndrian POV Six Months LaterThe world had moved on.People carried on with their lives, the city bustled like it always did, and Rufus' empire together with all the assets had long since been divided among greedy hands, swallowed by vultures disguised as loyal friends and business partners.Well, ever since the arrest.I sighed for what felt like a hundred times this morning. I looked through the window, envious of the way people went about their normal daily lives. Moving on with their lives.Unaware of the lonely and broken heart, that was still stuck in the past.For me, time had stopped six months ago, on that blood-stained floor, with Alex's limp body in my arms, his breath shallow , as his life continued to seep out. That was the day my own world shattered into nothingness.I stood by the large window of my penthouse, staring blankly at the city below. The skyline of Manchester stretched endlessly, lights flickering like stars against the night, but it all felt so... empty, so

Chapter: Chapter 10: signingCaroline pov “I would sign the contract” I repeated, slightly hesitating. I could almost hear the smirk forming on his lips. “Good,” he replied. “I’ll send a car.” The line went dead. And just like that, the choice was made. For my mother. Not for him. Never for him. But as I slid Xavier’s card back into the wallet, one thing was clear: I might have just walked into the lion’s den. The car arrived less than 30 minutes later. It was a sleek, black limousine. The latest model that glittered in the sun. Everything about it smelled like wealth. It was the kind of car that turned heads in traffic and made people stare, wondering who the hell was inside. I sat stiffly in the back seat, clutching my handbag like it was my life ticket out of this mess I found myself into. The golden wallet, xaviers wallet, was hidden deep inside, along with the damn divorce documents from Nathan. Yes, I have been carrying it about, but anytime I bring myself to sign it, I would back out at the la

Chapter: chapter 9: I will do itCaroline POVThe night air in Abuja had never felt colder.It had been two days since Jenna helped me escape, and each hour since then had been a nightmare, unraveling in slow motion.I stayed at a cheap rundown motel far from the city center, barely able to afford it with the little money I had left. I hadn’t eaten more than crackers and water. My phone was constantly buzzing, not with support, but torment.Everywhere I turned, Nathan’s influence had already poisoned the air.My name was trending for all the wrong reasons. News, blogs had picked up the embezzlement story. Pictures of me were plastered online with bold headlines like “Former Employee involved in company funds embezzlement, Husband Breaks Silence”. My bank account was frozen. My social media accounts were hacked. Even the few friends I had turned cold, ignoring my calls or worse, answering with hostility.I was branded.Alone.Ruined.I sat in the back of the cab, my fingers gripping the edge of the crumpled hundred-do

Chapter: chapter 8: perfect planXavier’s POVI was angry.No. Furious.The kind of fury that didn’t explode, but it was there, boiling slowly and deadly like lava bubbling, waiting to erupt.I clenched my jaw so hard, I feared it might actually crack from the pressure, but that was the least of my concerns. I continued to walk back and forth, staring blankly at the pristine and beautiful view of Abuja city. A view most men would kill for. A view I didn't even see right now.Why the hell was I this mad?I asked myself again, mentally going through my list of bad days.Was it the idiot at the board meeting? Or the fact that there was a spy that has been tracing me for a while now, even spiking my drink on top. Or the three open embezzlement cases that were still waiting for my attention, but as I try to get close to the answer. I find myself in a dead end. The proprietor was so smart and clever. No.It was her.Caroline.The woman who, for the first time in my life, had the nerve to insult me to my face, and not jus

Chapter: chapter 7: The contract Caroline’s POVI blinked.Once.Twice.Maybe three times, because my brain simply refused to process what I had just heard.“You… want me to be your what?”“Wife,” Xavier repeated, smooth as ever, like he was ordering a simple cup of coffee. “Sign the contract.”I stared at the folder like it had grown fangs, finally losing it. “Are you crazy?! I choked, backing away. “You just saw what happened. My whole life is falling apart, and you think now’s the time to throw a marriage contract at me?”He didn’t respond.Of course he didn’t.Instead, he moved closer. Slow, calculated steps that made the air feel hum with tension, and my throat even tighter.“You think this is a joke?” I asked, my voice rising with disbelief. “Is this some kind of twisted revenge fantasy or…”“It’s a business arrangement,” he cut in coolly. “I don't have to engage myself in pitiful revenge drama. I need a wife for one day. You need a clean slate and your dignity back. It's a mutual benefit. win win..”I flinche

Chapter: chapter 6: Sign this!Caroline povNathan!!My heart stopped. Literally stopped. Standing before me panting like someone who just ran a marathon was my now ex-husband. Nathan.He looked… rattled. His tie was loosened a bit, maybe to allow air to his burned out lungs. His nicely coiled hair momemt ago was scattered, like he never touched it this morning. And clutched in his slightly shaking hands were a bunch of green office files. his brows furrowed in confusion, like he hadn’t expected to walk into this. Me.His cold eyes locked on me, and then slowly shifted to the man behind the desk.Silence fell again, this time heavier, suffocating.“What the hell is she doing here?” Nathan growled, his voice tight with barely restrained furry, like I was his nemesis.My instincts screamed at me to run. But I stood frozen, stuck between my ex-husband’s fury and the silent, looming presence of the hot stranger behind the desk. the same man I had a passionate encounter with just last night.Nathan stepped forward,

Chapter: Chapter 5: Meeting himCarlines pov Divorce papers. A hollow laugh bubbled up in my chest. “You’ve been waiting for this moment, haven’t you?” I spat, glaring at Amelda. “all the fake laughs and concern. Our friendship was just so that you could ruin my life and take everything from me.” Amelda stepped closer, lowering her voice to a whisper only I could hear. “You were already ruined, sweetheart. I just finished the job.” My hands trembled with rage. I wanted to retaliate, to scream, and most especially, I wanted to wipe that smug grin off her very painted face. If only I had known. I could not have thought or believed that my best friend would turn her back against me. And not just that, even helping to shove a divorce paper to my own face. “Ohh, well, just for you to know, I am already pregnant” Emelda snuggled even closer to Nathan. “What!” I could not help but scream out in shock, despite myself. “Take a look, you barren bitch” she flung a medical report to my face. And there was wri
