“I'm so nervous…” Amara confessed while bouncing on her toes and bringing her fresh manicure to her teeth. I carried her hands gently to my lips for a kiss of calming as it seemed to work long enough for her to chastize me with a look alone.“You've worked hard for this and you've earned it. Pretty soon you'll have all of Massachusetts wearing “Lena”.” Her eyes swelled at the idea. Not because of her pride but because of how it honored her mother. Each model was set to exit with a shawl of her mother's favorite style which was an Easter egg of sorts to those who knew the detail. Like me. Like Leon.

Last Updated : 2024-04-01Avowed Chapter One- An Ulterior Fate
Amara's POVI should have known this day would come. Where most women imagined their trek down the aisle, I imagined just how I would be taken. It was inevitable considering my father's reputation and the enemies he made along the way. If this wasn't reason enough then what came with the promise weighing heavy in the form of a three carat diamond in my left hand had. I was left wondering how it would happen. Would it be swift and silent or boisterous and a spectacle? Would they ask for a ransom or kill me before I could understand my situation? I learned the answers to my speculations would be given the night of my rehearsal dinner. They must have spent thousands of dollars on this dinner alone. It was a thought that made my stomach twist with the uncertainty of what the actual wedding would amount to. The details were ones I entrusted with my fiance's family and those he hired to execute the sham of an event as I simply wanted it over. I didn't even h
Last Updated : 2024-04-02Avowed Chapter Two- Captive and the Captivated
Amara's POVI spent the entire uncomfortable ride feeling around the back of the trunk for anything useful, only to feel a reminder of my circumstances. Only rope and a recently used shovel left me to swallow hard at the idea of my body being forced in the ground while still breathing. It wasn't uncommon for a brutal death to be found by a Brady, so I ensured the second I could, I would fight like hell. When light finally made its way inside, I began to claw and kick. I managed to surprise them enough to strike a shin and scratch a few lines into skin but was ultimately lifted to my feet beyond my efforts. "Behave and maybe we won't make this hard for you..." Before I could recoil in a bitter response, I was caught off guard by my surroundings. If stories of my ancestors or my father's enemies and their demise were anything to go off of, I should have been looking at a warehouse or yacht of some kind. Instead, I was looking at an office building that ascended
Last Updated : 2024-04-03Avowed Chapter Three- The Tragedy of Jackson Maldori
Amara's POVFifteen Years Ago"Maree!" The sweet cadence of my best friend came over my shoulder as I was quick to turn. "Jackson..." He ignored the full use I made of his name before pressing the reason for his excitement flat against my chest. "Is this...""First edition. Just make sure you have it back to me by Friday..." I studied the hardcover book that was far too valuable to be in my adolescent fingers. But where some girls treasured shoes and makeup, I did this with books. Even if they were mostly borrowed, I held them like lifelong friends in my memory. And Jackson fed that obsession by stealing from his family's archival library whenever his parents were too busy to notice. "Are you kidding? I'll have it back to you by lunch!" I teased, already carefully pulling apart the cover from that initial title to begin the descent into another world. One where ink and paper had power our families held now. Or at least mine did..."You
Last Updated : 2024-04-04Avowed Chapter Four- Reasons
Jackson's POVFifteen years and sitting across from her made my heart palpitate the same way it had done as a goddamn teenager. Although her deep brown eyes and plush lips remained the same in our time apart, everything else seemed different in an unfair beauty. Her hair was longer and her skin looked softer. A few more beauty marks that came into view from what I could remember. But it was that look she gave me as we sat in silence that was almost my undoing. It was the way I always wanted her to look at me. I could easily become addicted to it. “What do you want to know first?” “You died…”“Is that a question?” “What happened?” I refrained from telling her why I was attacked to begin with as she'd only feel guilty. I glazed over that and let out a sigh and focused on what brought me here now. “I did die, Maree.” The shortened version of her name was a bittersweet relief on my tongue. I was fearful the day would never come in which I co
Last Updated : 2024-04-05Avowed Chapter Five- Contracts and Conditions
Amara's POVFor as long as I could remember the idea of marriage had been business. The public would see a union of smiles and the entire parade of glamour one would expect from any wedding. It was for that very reason that I couldn't even fathom the idea of marrying Jackson. It was too…personal.“I…I can't marry you.” He expressed a sigh before taking one of my hands, lifting it to view to showcase my ring between us both. Before I could speak, he collected the heavy stone and left my hand naked. “What are you-”“I know you don't love him and I also know that you're doing this because you had no other option…” He leaned slightly closer so only I could hear him among his brigade of black suede soldiers. “Let me be that other option.”“How would it even work? You're…” His brow cocked in intrigue. The reason our friendship was frowned upon as kids were why a marriage would be disastrous now. The Brady family was resilient and dangerous, all
Last Updated : 2024-04-06Avowed Chapter Six- Sticks and Stones
Jackson's POVShe was silent from the second we left the courthouse. What I wouldn't give to know the thoughts in her mind.Did she resent me for forcing her into a similar situation her father threatened against her the entirety of her life? Did she find it secretly thrilling at the idea of being together as I did? Did she hate me? Did she want me? Dammit, I didn't think this through when it came to how obsessive I would become to the “what-ifs”. Everything else, though, was thought through to plan a to z.“I'll make sure you have a phone and computer tomorrow, but for right now, we both have to stay under the radar.”“Alone?” She was quick to ask, a twinge of fear in her question contorted my heart.“Your father is going to have everyone and their right-hand men looking for you. It will only be a matter of time until he learns what we did-&rdqu
Last Updated : 2024-04-07Avowed Chapter Seven- Home Unsweet Home
Amara's POVThe house itself was definitely beyond what only two people would need. It left me to wonder if we would be housing staff of any kind and how trustworthy they may be. As it seemed I was a captive, I had to find a way to survive from one gilded cage to another. In hindsight, I knew I was cruel to Jackson when all he had done was try and protect me, but I was too angry at him to see anything beyond my rage. Maybe if he would have come back into my life before now things could have been different. Maybe this night wouldn't be forced…maybe it wouldn't be fake. The mudroom opened to a small entryway directly across from a staircase set on a far wall and archways leading to different sections of the house. To the right was the kitchen, silver and cobalt details that looked untouched and pristine. Wrapping around to this had been a dining room with enough room for approximately eight guests and a small candelabra at the center. Beyond this was a study decorated i

Avowed Chapter Forty Seven- Five Minutes
Amara's POVOne. Silence. Two.Movement from the ground that settled a few seconds later. Three. Paranoia to every passing second that felt like an eternity for what was an encompassment of sixty seconds. Four. An eerie stillness that made every small sound from my restless body shifting in the car send my heart to pump overtime. Five. Not a second later and my feet were on the pavement towards the rear entrance he had taken. Just as my hand wrapped around the cold metal of the handle, I was pulled back by a brutal hand. “You're not going in there.” A familiar face from Jackson's brigade attempted to obey his boss's demands. “Try and stop me.” I tried for the door again. This time, he used both arms with a bruising force that gave me the motivation I needed to convince him to release me. “And how would Mister Maldori feel looking at my skin tonight and finding bruises because of you.” He clenched b
Avowed Chapter Forty Six- Bet On It
Amara’s POVI don't think I can ever get used to Jax Maldori. He is the alter ego of the man I held in my arms not even an hour ago. Jackson was shed and molded into this man dripping with confidence and commandments. His entire persona was demanding enough that not even security dared to check him for the weapons I saw him put beneath his sable clothes. And the women, they were openly ogling him. He scoffed to see me glare at one in particular that fixed her bust to appear more full for him and his response was to kiss my cheek and tug me tighter against him. “Focus, baby.” I fixed my own confidence as we came to a table layered with cigar smoke thick enough to choke on. I glared through the heaviness also affecting my eyes before he took a seat in the chair, guiding me onto his lap. “You know the rules, Maldori. No bitches while we play.” I went to speak but he pressed a firm hand on my open thigh under the table. “I'm not getting rid of my lucky cha
Avowed Chapter Forty Five- Relentless
Jackson's POVIs it a problem that I prefer to stay awake long after she's fallen asleep just so I can admire her? The issue is that I can't decide if sleep is worth the lack of contact because my dreams are nothing compared to the reality of her. The scent of her hair and the memory of it wrapped around my wrist as I take her from behind. The satin skin in its perfect curvaceousness and the way she wears my marks so proudly. The trembling thighs and how they wrap around my waist or my face when my body begs to please her. The way her voice climbs to a crescendo in passion and defensiveness. I am enraptured. I am hopeless. I am truly a deviant for all this Amara Maldori. My cock is painful, tempted to slide between her legs in the middle of the night. If I hadn't already made her mine three times I would take her again. But her body was still recovering from how relentless we were to one another. I decided I was going to my office to ge
Avowed Chapter Forty Four- A Time to Heal
Amara’s POVIs it technically considered cabin fever if your walls of imprisonment consist of a six bedroom house on twelve acres? Because even if the sun came through the bay window of the reading nook I occupied more often than not or the food was prepared to the degree of award-winning, I was restless. The crutches were finally recycled last week and I was left with a heavy boot that made me limp from even the most basic of movements, and I was under intensive care of watchful eyes. None more precise than Jackson himself as he made it his mission to keep his focus on me throughout the day. “Baby!” He scolded as I was already halfway down the steps before he rushed to my arm. “I'm not glass…” I reminded but he didn't respond. We had already argued frequently about me being babied. He wouldn't even give me more than a peck on my cheek and that was with repetitive begging. In fact, this grip was the most intimate we had been for the last few months. “Y
Avowed Chapter Forty Three- The Harder They Fall
Jackson’s POVThe problem with being obsessed with someone is that when they need to stand alone, you become disassembled from reality. You can't help but look at the time and its grueling pace, willing it faster until you can see them again. Even as the evidence of the time spent with her was still on my skin and in the sheets, I was itching to get her back here again. It wasn't going to be long, and it was necessary for her, but it still left me pacing since I pulled myself away from the sheets wearing her scent. One minute late wasn't a reason for concern. Thirty had me already dressed and moving towards my car in the private garage as Cutter's phone had gone unanswered along with hers. We allotted about an hour for the meeting which meant that she was already away from me for almost two. I tried to rationalize the silence as me overreacting, waiting for them to come through the door blaming traffic. But after fifteen minutes and my lack of patience, I was
Avowed Chapter Forty Two- The Higher the Pedestal
Amara’s POVThree months later.I fiddled nervously with my recent manicure. Esmeralda insisted it would give me more respect but it had only become a nuisance since it dried yesterday.Everything felt out of place and everyone seemed to source me with a mutual sense of understanding- I did not belong here. Even if my maiden name was etched into the building towering over most in Boston, I was never meant to be at its helm. But with my father’s ‘disappearance’, I was the next of kin. This meant not only was I left to deal with the assets of his house, but also the business he left without a word. Until last week there had been a second-in-command. But since his death was announced in the paper, they were looking for someone to fill his rol
Avowed Chapter Forty One- Adrenaline
Jackson's POVHow did I manage from mauling her in the car? Your guess is as good as mine. If I wasn't already head over heels twice over for my wife, the way she was so brazen and jealous in front of Danielle was the solidifying property. Even now as she sat at my side in silence after I ignored her first question of where we were going, I had to touch her. My hand was set in possession on her thigh as if to keep her on the seat. All the while, I was fighting from making her paint my passenger seat with her cum for being a good little wife. But for the ways she defied both Cutter and me, she needed to learn there were consequences so she got silence and sexual postponement. There were three places I desperately wanted to take her. The first was too far away that I think my cock would actually burst if I had to wait that long. The second was close enough but was a bit too public for the depraved lesson she needed to learn. The third was going to be per
Avowed Chapter Forty- Karma
Amara’s POVMy feet couldn't move fast enough as I made my way into the lobby of the apartment complex. Still, it was fast enough to access the elevator without being stopped by the receptionist. The doors came closed in the final second and I began to transcend. Without a weapon. Or a plan. When the doors did come open, I found the apartment in a short disarray and the sight of motionless feet around the first corner. The same kinds of shoes all men in Jackson's line of work seemed to wear in their reflective sheen. I moved carefully around the corner before finding ironed pants stained with blood that came to an open torso riddled with even more crimson. Higher still was a face turned aside. As I lowered to verify who it was, a sudden force took me against them. A hand to my mouth and a thick corded arm around my torso, I was pulled to a familiar chest. It was made of the same stone that gave a contradicting comfort of a raging heart and a protective
