Dhalia POV

Justin waves at me and I walk through, he closes the door and smiles at me. Shit.

"Justin, this can't continue," I say quickly. "It won't work. Me and you together won't work anymore." I hate that he waited for me, but I need to break this off now not later.

He stares at me, and nods. "Whatever, Keeley has your work," he turns to look away from me and I feel awful. I want to talk about it but I doubt he's willing to.

Walking through, I see Keeley, she rushes over and hugs me. "I'm so glad you're back working here. This is what Justin needs you to do." She holds out the files and I take them, glancing at them briefly.

"Is what we were working on before done?" It's been years so likely.

"No, there's some more things needed, but he figured he would start you on something else, I've replaced you working on that other thing." She smiles sweetly and walks away.

I'm fine with that, sitting down at a desk I begin working. I look through the case details and highlight the important

    Dhalia POVWhen we get back to the house, I smile sweetly at Chase and Blake, feeling a warmth that’s hard to describe.Blake pouts at me, his expression playful but tinged with a bit of hurt. “You called me an asshole!” he says, looking almost like a wounded puppy.I can’t help but laugh softly as I wrap my arms around his neck, leaning in to kiss his cheek before whispering in his ear, “That was for Chase, not you.” I follow it up with a gentle kiss on his neck before leaning back, smiling at the way his eyes soften.“Right, drinks!” Keeley suddenly announces, pushing between Blake and me. With a dramatic sigh, Blake turns on his heel and walks away without a second thought.“Hey!” I call after him, annoyed at how Keeley treated him at that moment, but Blake is already walking off, and I’m left feeling a bit frustrated.“He’s fine, don’t worry,” Keeley says, waving off my concern as she turns back to me with a knowing smile. “Besides, I need to give you an update.”Before I can resp

    Dhalia POVAs I watch her go, a thought suddenly strikes me, and panic flares in my chest. She never left on those weekends—she basically lived with me and Carl from Friday until Sunday, sometimes even until Monday morning. How didn’t she know what Carl was doing while I was asleep?“Princess?” Chase’s voice breaks through my thoughts, and I look up at him, forcing a smile. “Don’t smile,” he says softly, concern lacing his words. “What was that look?”He lifts me effortlessly, carrying me down the hallway as I struggle to push the thoughts away. “Nothing,” I whisper. “I was just explaining that I’m considering staying here after things are fixed, that’s all.”I don’t want to say anything more—I don’t even know if Carl had drugged her too. It’s possible, especially since I passed out every weekend. The guilt gnaws at me, the idea that she might have been victimised too, without either of us realising it.“And what are you thinking? Will you be staying here?” Chase asks, looking down at

    Chase POVI wanted us to run through the plan for the hunting game before it happens, but my mind keeps drifting. I can’t shake the uneasy feeling that Dhalia might panic and freak out when the time comes. But it’s too late to backtrack now. The week has flown by, and she’s settled into a routine, spending her days working and her nights with us. She’s become a part of our family, and the bond between all of us has only grown stronger. Still, there’s this lingering uncertainty—she hasn’t told us if she plans to stay or leave. Her decision remains a mystery, and I can’t help but wonder if she already knows but isn’t telling us.“Chase!” Blake’s voice snaps me out of my thoughts, louder than usual, and I realise I’ve been zoning out, lost in my worries. I wasn’t paying attention to whatever conversation was happening, but right now, all I care about is finding out whether Dhalia is staying or going. We only have a couple of days left until we deal with Carl, and the uncertainty is eatin

    Chase POVI’m left alone, feeling like my control over the situation is slipping through my fingers. But I know Blake’s right—I can’t change things now. I have no choice but to agree and hope that the night doesn’t push Dhalia away from us forever.Jax still hasn’t fully opened up to Dhalia. She hasn’t seen the side of him that emerges after he takes a life—not the cold, calculating killer, but the playful, unpredictable man who comes alive afterward. He’s tested the waters with her, played around a bit, but nothing full-on, nothing major. Part of me wants to shield her from that side of him, but I know it’s not possible, not forever.As I walk out and get into the car, the tension in the air is palpable. We’re all quiet, each of us lost in our thoughts. I take out my phone and start sending messages. I want someone tracking both Justin and Dhalia, looking into this whole situation. I already have someone tracking Carl—if he’s involved, we’ll find out soon enough.It’s possible Carl h

    Dhalia POV TW: Please note, this Chapter has some serious blood/period scenes/play. So many may just want to skip to the last few paragraphs. Jax drops me onto the bed, his body towering over mine, and I shake my head. I'm not comfortable with this, no matter how much people say it's normal and helps. "What's your fear, Sweetness?" Jax asks as he nibbles against my ear before licking along my neck. "It's blood, Jax!" What more reason is there? "If blood fears you, how will you cope in a couple of nights?" His head raises, and he looks at me. "That's different; it's not period blood; it's normal blood." How can he not understand that? He throws his head back and laughs loudly. I don't think that it's funny at all. His fingers grip the top of my leggings before he yanks them down forcefully and off me entirely. I open my mouth to protest, but his mouth slams onto mine, and his tongue glides into my mouth. It's too easy to give in to him when he's kissing me. His fingers stroke

    Dhalia POV We stay still for some time before he leans up and unfastens my arms from the bed. Instantly, I feel the rush of blood going back to them. I glance up and see the rope burns around my wrists. "I'll run the bath, Sweetness," he kisses my neck and walks out. I don't move; my body stays melted into the mattress, unwilling to come back to reality right now. I'm still utterly grossed out that he went down on me when I was on, but there's no way for me to complain now. Not that I want to after that. The sound of footsteps makes me smile, and I feel him lift me into his arms. My eyes fall on the bed and widen. Okay, that's bad. "Jax, the bed," I whisper, knowing there's no way those white sheets will come clean. "All for a worthy cause, Sweetness, don't worry." He sits in the bath, keeping me against him as his hands wash across my body. "Now, how bad was it really?" His words are light, and I laugh. "Jax," I sigh, and his hand covers my mouth.

    Blake POV We follow Chase into the room, and I’m pretty sure I already know what this conversation is going to be about. I sit down, waiting for them to do the same, bracing myself for what’s coming. Chase looks at Jax with a furrowed brow. “How freaked out was she?” Wait. That’s why he wanted to talk? I can see the worry in his eyes, the fear that whatever Jax did might have pushed Dhalia away. It’s a stark contrast to the way he used to be. Back then, when we brought other women in, he didn’t care if they freaked out over Jax’s behaviour. They were nothing more than temporary playthings, which I have come to realise. He only cared about ensuring they knew that talking about what happened violated the agreements they signed. But this time, it’s different. Dhalia is different. Jax looks at Chase, clearly offended. “She’s still here, isn’t she?” I thought Dhalia being here was a good thing, but it seems like every time we turn around, there’s another argument brewing, and it’s al

Howeasy is it to get around?” I ask and wait. “That depends, and there's no one answer fits all, Blake. Send me the serial number, operating system, and as much about it as you can. I'll send you instructions, or I can come and do it for you?” While he would be able to do it far quicker, I would rather not have someone elseinvolved. “Just send me instructions, and I’ll get the pictures now for you. There’s no rush. I’m busy for two days,so I can't do it straight away.” As much as I want to check tonight, I can't. I've got other things to consider. I need to do it with Jax and Chase sat there so they can't argue that I hid anything. “Okay, send me the pictures, and I’ll be in touch.” The phone cuts out, and I walk to her laptop, taking pictures of the things I think he will need before sending themto him.

  • Accidentally Kidnapping The Don   Life

    Dhalia POV After shopping today, I felt a sense of relief I hadn’t experienced in what felt like forever. It wasn’t just about the shopping itself, though I did need some new clothes—my body has changed so much in the past year. No, it was more about finally getting out of the house, about reclaiming a little bit of the freedom I’d been missing. The walls of our home, which once felt like a sanctuary, had started to close in on me. Chase and Jax, in their well-meaning but intense desire to protect me and ensure I had time to heal, ended up suffocating me without even realising it. Don’t get me wrong—I love them for how much they care, but I didn’t need to be housebound for months, or placed on bed rest for weeks after giving birth. I know some women would relish the idea of doing nothing but resting and being pampered, but it drove me crazy. That’s why, when Chase casually mentioned going shopping, I jumped at the opportunity. I was out the door and in the car before he could even t

  • Accidentally Kidnapping The Don   Family

    Chase POVI watched Dhalia as she moved through the store, her steps light and full of purpose, and it hit me—I might have gone too far. In our well-intentioned but overzealous efforts to protect her and Jacob, Jax and I had smothered her. When I casually mentioned the idea of going shopping, I expected a discussion, maybe some hesitation. But instead, she practically bolted for the door, grabbing her coat and leaving without a word. That was proof enough. We had suffocated her under the guise of safety and care.Seeing her so happy to be out, to be free to do something as simple as shopping, was a wake-up call. We had reduced her life to the confines of our home, restricting her to the roles of mother and partner, leaving little room for her to just be herself. That’s why I suggested she could return to work if she wanted to. Jax may not like the idea—he’s still riding the wave of his overprotectiveness—but after more than six months of keeping her tethered, it’s time we give her bac

  • Accidentally Kidnapping The Don   Happiness

    Blake POV The last few months have been a whirlwind, a mental and emotional gauntlet that none of us expected. It wasn’t the physical demands that took their toll on me—it was the psychological strain, the constant push and pull of trying to navigate our lives while Chase and Jax became increasingly overprotective of Dhalia. My attempts to ground them in reality often felt futile, like trying to anchor a ship in the middle of a storm. Dhalia, poor Dhalia, bore the brunt of their overzealous protection. At five months pregnant, they decided it was too dangerous for her to continue working. Mind you, her job was sitting in a cozy little bookstore, reading and managing sales. There wasn’t anything remotely strenuous about it, but they convinced themselves—and her—that it was unsafe. It seemed harmless enough at first, just a precaution. But by the time she hit seven months, their obsession to shield her and the baby from every possible harm became all-consuming. They wouldn’t let her

    Jax POVAs I sit on the couch, the book resting on my lap, I find myself absorbed not so much in the story itself but in the little marks I’ve made throughout its pages. These marks have become something of an obsession for me. They’re the places where I’ve seen Dhalia react—whether it’s a quiet gasp, a tear rolling down her cheek, or that subtle squirm of excitement that she can’t quite hide. Whenever she reads with me in the room, and I catch one of those reactions, I make sure to mark the page number. Later, when she’s done, I go back and read those specific sections, trying to decode what it is about these words that stirs something inside her.It all started small. At first, I only marked the pages that elicited a blush or a quiet moan—scenes of sex that clearly struck a chord. It didn’t take long to realise that it wasn’t just those moments that mattered to her. She would also react to the tender, the heartbreaking, and the unexpectedly sweet moments with an equal, if not more p

    Dhalia’s POVMy eyes are glued to the door. In front of me are three small boxes, one for each of them. They are late, though. They promised to be back by four, and now it’s a quarter past. I’m trying to be patient, but it’s harder than I’d like to admit.Two months ago, I opened my bookstore, and it’s been incredible. Twice a week, we host book clubs, and I’ve made it a point to bring one of the guys with me to each session. It’s hilarious watching their faces as we dive into the discussions. The women seem to enjoy it too—something about discussing steamy romance scenes with a bit of eye candy in the room.The door finally creaks open, and I sit up straighter as they walk in.“You’re late,” I say, trying to keep a straight face.“By fifteen minutes, Angel. Cut us some slack.” Blake winks, leaning down to kiss me. His hand reaches for one of the boxes, but I slap it away.“Don’t touch.”He chuckles, rolling his eyes.“Why do I get the feeling we’re in trouble, Sweetness?” Jax asks as

    Chase POVI stay stood in this room, shocked by what she's done. She went above and beyond, I was expecting a small, shop, nothing big. This though, is huge. We made sure that everyone knew not to mention anything to us about it.They weren't allowed to mention the location, the colour of the store, nothing. We wanted her to be in control and do it all alone without our input and she has."I've got something to show you," she grips my hand and guides me back through to the book store part, walking through she stops by some books, and hands me one.There, on the cover is a pink fucking unicorn. She found one? I stare at her and she laughs."Pink unicorn," she smiles up at me."You're fucking crazy, you read it?" I stare in amazement as she nods."I did and I'll admit I didn't enjoy it a single bit, but I had to get it, read it because that's the next book you're reading."My head tilts. "Please say you're joking?" She has to be. Her head shakes, and she places the book back."No, you m

    Jax POVI watch as she walks towards us, the dress is stunning, long and golden. She stops in front of me and smiles."If they don't hurry, we will be late," she glares towards the door."Leave them alone Sweetness, they were having some fun before getting ready." We both laugh and I wrap my arms around her. A lot has changed in the past three months, a lot of her stepdads businesses are now fully hers. Although we take care of a lot of them.She wasn't comfortable taking over the strip clubs, bars, and such. So we sort a lot of it out for her. She straightens my tie and I chuckle. Her arms wrap around my neck and she reaches on her toes to kiss my lips."I love you Sweetness," I whisper as I wrap my arms around her and pull her closer. My mind goes back, and I begin to wonder if we would ever have found her had Carl not set her up? It's scary to consider that, to consider where she would have been.Justin's plan was to do what Carl had once she returned to him, so would she still be

    Dhalia POV His words float around in my mind. He should have told Jax and Blake, then maybe they would understand the whole issue he has. Something tells me after he does something with them, it brings back what happened with his father. I fight to figure out what to say to him, other than he should tell Jax and Blake. “Do they know any truth in what happened?” I stroke along the scar. “No, I thought them believing it sent me over the edge would stop them from doing anything. It did, but part of me still craved them. Which of course Jax noticed, and made it happen.” “You need to tell Jax the truth.” After everything, he still believes that Chase runs because he’s repulsed. “Jax can’t know. He will blame himself for what my father did.” He’s not wrong, Jax will blame himself to some degree. “What happens if he finds out the truth, Chase? Then how will he feel? Knowing that you kept on lying to him?” “He can’t find out, only we know.” I laugh. “So every man there that day is dea

    Dhalia POV After eating, I found myself with more energy than before. Which sucks as I was ready to go to bed. Jax and Blake are currently messing around. I say, messing around, but Blake is more taunting him to get a punishment. It’s nice to see, and it reminds me of at the start. “I’m going to finish my book,” I jump up and walk off. I could have fallen asleep earlier, now though? I’ve got too much energy. Grabbing the book I sit down and begin reading it. About ten minutes later, the movement of the door has me turning to it. Chase walks in with a smile. “So, I found a book.” Really? “You found a smut book that involves a frickin unicorn?” He nods. “I did very well, thank you.” Wait, no! “Pink unicorn, it has to be a pink unicorn.” I watch as he sighs and sits beside me. “Pink is impossible! I have searched and I can’t find it!” His outburst has me laughing. “How about a human-unicorn that’s pink? I found one of them.” “No, it’s a pink unicorn, not half and half Chase. So y
