‘’Take care of your body, for the sake of the baby,’’ he told me as he walked back to his chair and sat down.His words stung, and I wouldn’t lie if I said they didn’t bring tears to my eyes, but I held them in.Why should I care about a man who only wanted me just for his child? I knew that he woul
~Axel~The kiss was unexpected.I couldn’t care less that she had kissed me, but she quickly pulled away from it like it never happened. I was not satisfied with what had happened because I wanted more.‘’Leonara,’’ I cleared my throat as I speak up. ‘’care to excuse us for a moment.’’Leonara stood
She nodded in response and turned on the page of the paper.’’Are you even reading that?’’ I questioned out of curiosity.‘’yes, your…’’ I frowned at her, and she quickly corrected herself. ‘’I mean Axel.’’Axel Hearing her call me by my name brought back memories, and even though I didn’t like comp
‘’Your Highness!’’ she shouted, dropping the paper on the table. She didn’t bother correcting herself this time, and when she stood up, I saw the veins popping on her neck as she began to speak. ‘’I don’t know why you are doing this, but if this will work, you need to know I will work. I can’t live
~Tamara~“I don’t need any other woman since I already have you!” Axel’s words echoed in my head for the hundredth time that week. It had been a week since we met to sign the contract, a week since I’d last seen him, and yet, the only words I could remember were his assurance that there was no one e
“You’re zoning out again,” the doctor said. I forced a chuckle, pretending everything was fine. “Go home and rest,” she instructed. As I was about to respond, my phone rang from my bag.“One second,” I muttered, pulling out my phone.The number was unfamiliar; for a moment, I thought it might be a d
~Tamara~I stood frozen, my eyes locked on the familiar figure before me.Mark. My ex.I couldn't believe it. What was he doing here, and how was he here?" You," he pointed towards me. His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger, and I could sense the tension radiating from him even though we were
"I don't need your apology," Axel spat, his voice dripping with disdain. "You should be apologizing to Tamara."Mark's eyes flickered at me, and momentarily, I saw a glimmer of remorse. But I knew that he was like that because of Axel and would never apologize if that wasn’t the case.‘’And what are
~Tamara~ "The dream is a dangerous place!" Emma’s warning echoed in my mind as I stood in front of my brother’s room. She had told me that stepping into Axel’s dream would be painful—that I might not return as the same person. If I failed, I might not return at all.The first person I thought of af
Emma stood up, her eyes blazing with anger. “Leonara, that’s enough!”I stepped forward, stopping Emma from intervening. “I’ll handle this myself.”She sighed, palming her forehead. “Whatever you want, but if she says anything else, I’ll make sure she gets a black eye.” She sat back down on the bed,
~Tamara~As I fluttered my eyes open, I gasped. My first instinct was to touch my chest, and when I felt the fullness of my breasts, I knew I was back in my body. My mind immediately went to Axel, who Ian had stabbed. I didn’t remember what had happened after he fainted in my arms, as I had also los
“You…” Tamara tried to say something else, but I grabbed her hand and shook my head at her. I knew what Ian was capable of doing, and he wasn’t bluffing when he said he would snap her neck.“Don't say another word. I will handle this,” I told her. She frowned at me but didn't say anything and angri
“I know you are somewhere around here, so show your stupid face, you coward!”My eyes roamed around for any sign of him, but there was none. I moved away from where I was and searched every corner of the room, including the curtains and outside the window. ''stop hiding if you want to fight me.'' By
~Axel~The park date was the best thing that had happened to me in years since Lyra's death. I never thought being in a park would bring me happiness. I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss Tamara and I shared on our way home. Each time I thought about it, I glanced at her, my head filled with thou
~Tamara~ I missed the first shot and got water sprayed on my face. Axel got it, and I also got water on my face. It went on for six rounds until I got lucky and hit one of the balloons. "Yes!" I shouted excitedly as the water got sprayed on Axel's face. He scoffed but said nothing as he threw his
It was my turn to frown because I never expected that it would be all about me, and I couldn’t let him win. He got on my nerves as much as I did with him. “Axel! To hell with your stupid rules!” I screamed. “You think because you are the alpha king, you can control me? Hell no! I do whatever I want
~Tamara~ “The park? You brought me to an amusement park?” Axel sounded as if I had passed terrible judgment on him. He sounded like he didn’t want to be there, but it was the only place I could think of to relieve his stress. Luckily for us, Leonara had the whole place booked for us. “I thought th
