CONFRONTATION MILES’ POV “ Any luck yet?” Rico’s voice broke the silence as he strode into my office. I dragged my tired eyes up to meet his, the exhaustion clear in my expression, and then returned to the glowing screen of my computer. Rico didn’t need a verbal response. He sighed and dropped i
“Her eyes flared with indignation. “You divorced her, for crying out loud!” she barked, her voice echoing through the office. “Don’t tell me you’re regretting that decision!” When I didn’t reply immediately, she began pacing the room, her emotions clearly spiraling. “How dare you lead me on?” she
UNVEILED MILES’ POV I stood by the door, arms folded, watching Roxy lying on the bed. Her pale face was turned toward the ceiling, her lips pressed into a thin line. Neither of us spoke. Her silence was heavy, but I wasn’t about to break it. She had been stabbed twice, but by some miracle, the bla
NOT AGAIN RHEA’S POV “Are you absolutely sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” Yuri asked, his tone somewhere between concern and exasperation as he turned off the car engine in front of my hostel. I waved off his worry with what I hoped was a convincing smile. “No, I’m fine. Seriously. I
WHEN AN ALPHA CRIES MILES’ POV The rain poured in relentless sheets, pounding against the windshield like it was trying to drown out the chaos in my head. I barely noticed. My grip on the steering wheel was so tight my knuckles had turned bone-white, and my jaw was clenched like a vice. The i

CONFESSIONS ROXY’S POV An hour ago... The nurse entered with a clipboard in hand, her face was calm as she checked my vitals. I smiled politely as she went about her work. Things were finally falling into place. After this hospital stint, Miles would have no choice but to take me into his home. I
‘We will see about that. We’ll see where your victim card takes you this time. You were delusional enough to hire someone to stab you just to get Miles’ attention. How pathetic. I thought he was yours all along, why did you have to hurt yourself just to make him notice you?’ Rhea’s words on the scr
The audacity of this bastard. “I heard you were around,” he added, looking as smug as ever. I didn’t bother with pleasantries. “What the fuck did you do, Zane? We had a fucking deal!” I snapped, fists clenched. Zane had the nerve to lower his head slightly, as if he actually felt guilty. But it
Lies, Deals, and Deception YURI’S POV I paced the length of Zane’s living room, my heart hammering against my ribs. I had been calling Rhea since last night, and she had refused to answer even once. It was driving me insane. Everything about this situation was driving me crazy. Miles. Why the
The Lies That Kept Us Apart RHEA’S POV "Rhea, all of this has been one big misunderstanding," Miles said, stepping closer, his hand reaching out like he wanted to touch me. Instinctively, I stepped back. “It kept us apart for seven whole years.” I shook my head, snapping out of the shock that had
“Don’t fucking play that card on me, Rhea,” he warned, his eyes shining with malice. “Play what card, Mondragon? The truth?!” I shot back. “No, let’s talk. Let’s talk about what you would have done if I had actually terminated the pregnancy like you wanted me to.” Confusion quickly replaced his fi
Closer to the Truth RHEA’S POV I groaned as consciousness began to seep back into me, dragging along a pounding headache that felt like a hammer against my skull. My hand flew to my forehead, trying to massage the ache away, but it did little to help. This was from all that drink I had consumed la
As the music began to play, I kept my eyes on her. She swallowed hard, grabbing her wine glass and downing it like her life depended on it. Her cheeks flushed a deep red, and I could see her trying desperately to keep her composure. I sang, pouring everything I felt into the words. Rhea avoided my g
The Truth in the Bag MILES’ POV Rhea swallowed hard. Her lips pressed into a thin line as if she was forcing herself to remain composed. I held her gaze, silently begging her to see the sincerity in my apology. My heart was racing, thudding so hard I was sure she could hear it. I could feel the ti
I caught myself staring and quickly pulled my gaze away, stopping my thoughts from wandering further. I had checked out his fingers several times and didn’t find a ring. It made me wonder why he never wore one. Back when we were married, even at the height of his disdain for me, he had worn our wedd
Work Dinner 2 RHEA’S POV My smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared, and I froze in place, my blood boiling. Was this some kind of betrayal from my colleagues? What on earth was Miles Mondragon doing here, sitting among medical personnel at our work dinner? I was certain Yuri had mentioned he
