AdonisI lay in my king-size bed, surrounded by a pile of pillows, watching Natalia worry herself to death. She opened the heavy drapes to let in the natural light and turned on the flat-screen television."I know what you need," she said, her feet bouncing out. "Purified air to flush out the poison that witch Sophia injected into you. I'll be right back."She ran outside and returned moments later, thrusting a small green bottle under my nose. "This will get all of the poison out of your lungs. I’ll make you some soup to make you feel better. Your doctor is downstairs. Would you like me to fetch him?’I shook my head, shifting uncomfortably, wondering why Natalia was being nice to me.Given that I forced her to marry me, she should hate me and be unconcerned about my well-being. I was not worthy of her concern, especially after depriving her of freedom.Yet here she was, nursing me back to health and even defending me against Sophia's lame attempt at seduction the day before.I felt so

Dad lay motionless on the bed. Uncle Axton sat next to him. He held my dad's hand, looking devastated."Don't give up, Marcus. Please. We have to tell him.”“Tell who what?” I asked him as I walked into the room. Uncle Axton's body stiffened visibly. Dad opened his eyes and let out a sick groan."Ah, Donnie, you are here," Uncle Axton said, unsure of himself and smiling faintly.A nurse in scrubs walked in to check my dad's temperature. The silence was oppressive, and when a doctor entered, he acknowledged my presence and whispered to the nurse while they performed their duties.

IrisI smiled, jumped to my feet, and rushed over to Natalia. We hugged tightly, enjoying the warmth of each other's company."Oh, Natalia, you are like a breath of fresh air. Having you visit me is always therapeutic."She smiled, reached into her bag and pulled out a stylish new phone."I got this for you. You need to stay in touch in case Adonis prevents me from coming here. We also need to start planning your escape."My hand paused midway, and the thought of leaving made my heart ache. As stupid as it sounded, I couldn't bear the thought of staying away from Adonis.Was I crazy? Maybe. Despite the pain and confinement, a part of me knew I couldn't live without Adonis' touch, kisses, and even the degrading sex he exposed me to. He could have killed me, but instead he kept me alive and cared for me in his own twisted way. Was there even a real reason for me to leave? I loved him, no matter how toxic it sounded. Stockholm syndrome was kicking in. Leaving meant abandoning the hope

Her friend Rachel snapped at her while they sat in Helena's front yard. "How do you expect us to rush up to an innocent woman and inform her that the child she has raised for 21 years is not hers?"Helena sighed. Her sorrow was a massive, painful knot within her.“If Iris had not grown on me and I hadn't developed such strong feelings for her, if I didn't want her to be free forever, I'd keep my mouth shut. But Adonis believes she is Alexander's daughter. The innocent girl is wasting away in his cell."Rachel held up her hands. "I don't want to be involved in this. We are both retired now, and I rely solely on the govern

Freddy's jaw dropped, and Sophia, the devil's daughter, flushed with embarrassment and looked confused.The silence was so thick that Natalia felt like strangling Sophia and suffocating her. More importantly, she wondered why Adonis didn't get angry. She sat on the sofa, feeling numb.He must be completely uninterested in her. But she wasn't complaining."Thank the goddess he didn't overreact," Fred said, his voice hardening as he confronted Sophia. "You always seem to lack empathy and act so insensitively. You do this all the time without remorse.""What are you talking about?" she asked, concealing her face behind her hair."You know exactly what he means, whore!" Natalia lashed out.
