Nicholas’ POV

A sharp beeping sound pierced through my mind and my head throbbed as I tried to open my eyes. “Kiara…” I murmured. The name slipped out before I could stop it as my voice was way below a whisper.

“It's Hollis,” A familiar voice replied softly. I coughed, eyes fully open now as I took in my surroundings. I was in a hospital.

Hollis sat by my bedside, her perfectly styled blonde hair falling over her shoulders. Her light blue eyes, filled with worry, met mine.

I shifted slightly, wincing at the sharp pain that shot through my ribs. “What happened?”

“You were in a car accident,” She explained. “You've been unconscious for hours. The doctors said you were lucky.”

I stared at the ceiling, the memory of Kiara in Damon's arms replaying painfully in my head. “Lucky?” I muttered bitterly.

Hollis hesitated, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. “Nicholas, you're going to drive yourself to ruin if you keep this up. Chasing after someone who-”

    Kiara's POV Back at the office, I tried to focus on the pile of work waiting for me after taking a day off. Rose, my assistant, had a stack of files on my desk, which I needed to review urgently. “Thank you, Rose,” I said, glancing at the files. “You're welcome, ma'am. How was your trip to the States?” she asked with a warm smile. “Interesting, Rose. It went well.” I replied, smiling briefly before turning to my laptop. “Okay, ma'am. I'll take my leave now,” she said, nodding slightly before walking out. Moments later, a knock sounded on the door. “Come in,” I called out. The door creaked open, and Damon stepped in, his presence filling the room. A smile played on his lips as he walked toward me, leaning down to place a quick kiss on my cheek. “Missing me already?” he teased. I blushed. “Maybe,” I said, pulling him closer to kiss him on the lips. Then he settled into the chair across from my desk. “Or maybe I'm just surprised to see you here during work hours,” I said, sm

    Kiara's POV “Kiara! Help me! Please.” Nicholas screamed, his body slowly drifting into the swamp. Damon's voice followed, “Kiara! I'm the one you should help, not him!” I stood right in front of them, I had to save just one person within seconds. It was hard to choose. I panicked, looking at Nicholas's pitiful eyes as the swamp's icy grip clutched at his chest, dragging him down while Damon's desperate voice echoed like a haunting wind.The air reeked of damp earth and decay, suffocating my breath as I struggled to move. Just as I moved closer to them, I heard a loud thump, and my eyes flashed open.My forehead was sweating as my palm met my forehead. I just had a bad nightmare. I hugged my pillow, tossed the bed, and soon slept off again after ruminating on what the nightmare meant. ———As I descended the stairs, my step-mother's voice startled me but I quickly regained my composure so that she didn't notice. “Did you get the text?” She bantered coldly, folding her arms. “What t

    Nicholas' POV “Were you able to trace the sender?” I asked Luca, stepping out of my car. “No, sir. At least, not yet.” He replied, following me.I knew Kiara was in danger and I needed to protect her. But she wouldn't even let me into her life anymore. I wanted to see her again, to tell her how sorry I was, and convince her to trust me just once again.“Prepare a flight to London, Luca,” I said to him before entering my office. He nodded and I shut the door behind me. Damn it! I slammed my foot against the wall, breathing hard. Then I heard a knock on my door. “Leave my door, I have no meetings today,” I spoke without knowing who was there.“It's Hollis.” A soft voice came off. Hollis? What was she doing here? She wouldn't stay out of my life, would she?I reluctantly opened the door and she came in, looking tall and gorgeous as usual. She dropped her bag on the table and folded her arms. “I'll help your company.” She spoke words that sounded unbelievable to my ears.How had she ch

    Kiara's POVRose had been usually persistent about me joining her for a meeting with a potential business partner at the Dorchester Hotel. I wasn't interested at first, but she kept insisting the client needed reassurance from someone in a senior position. Reluctantly, I agreed, thinking it was just another regular business deal. I wondered why the person couldn't just come to my office instead of demanding a private meeting, but I trusted Rose. She has never lied to me. As our car cruised through the busy London streets, I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in my chest. Something about this meeting felt…strange. I adjusted my blazer and tried to focus on Rose's chatter, but my mind kept wandering back to Damon. I let out a small smile, thinking of him made me feel safe despite the mystery surrounding my job right now. He is dependable, and supportive, and made me feel safe—a stability I desperately needed after everything that happened with Nicholas. When we arrived at the Dorche

I didn't even have to say a word, and there he was—no warning, no call...I had never told him where I was going. So, how the hell did he find me?My heart pounded in my chest. I felt a rush of confusion, fear, and something I wasn't ready to face. How could he be here? How did he even know where to look for me?Then, I saw Nicholas smirk. He wasn't even bothered. “Looks like someone has a tracker on his… woman,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.I wasn't sure whether I wanted to scream or just walk out of the room. Instead, I just stood there, frozen. What the hell was happening?Damon didn't waste any time. He walked up to me, smiling without saying another word, he pulled me into his arms. I was still in shock, but a small part of me felt safer with him holding me. But then his voice cut through the silence. “I came just in time. I won't let anyone touch my woman.

    Damon's POV20 Years AgoI was only five years old, but the sound of my mother's sobs still haunts me. I sat on the cold, wooden floor of our small house, watching her pack her clothes into a tattered suitcase. Her hands shook as she tried to close the latch, tears streaming down her bruised face.“Mom,” I cried, crawling closer to her. “Don't leave me. Please, don't leave me.” She knelt in front of me, her trembling hands cupping my face. Her eyes were red, swollen, and filled with pain I couldn't understand at the time.“I love you, Damon,” she whispered. “But I can't stay here anymore.”“Then take me with you!” I begged, grabbing onto her dress. Before she could answer, the door slammed open, and my father stormed in. His face was twisted in anger, his fists clenched. “You think you can leave me?” he roared. “Stop it, Fred!” My mom screamed, standing in front of me as if she could shield me from his rage. But my father didn't stop. His fist collided with her face, and she fel

Meet me at our spot.” Our spot? She got to be kidding me right now. I clenched my fist, about to speak until she hung up on me. I sent Sofia a text saying I'd be out for a while, and then I kick-started the car and drove off to FAYS.That was where I met her a few years ago. She was just a blonde with a pretty boldface and had a tiny dove tattoo on her neck.

    Kiara's POV“Open your legs, Kiara.” He ordered but in a gentle growl. His eyes were desperate, looking down my thighs as I obediently spread my legs. I was naked. Comfortably naked. He grabbed my thighs, slowly burying his head in between them. I felt the air through his nostrils, his tongue slowly licking my core. I grabbed his hair with one hand, as I moaned at the overwhelming pleasure coursing through me. I bit my lower lip, closing my eyes to behold the stars. The way he fondled my core was out of this world. Suddenly, he stopped. “Come back to me, Kiara.” He whispered, raising his head. I looked at him closely and gestured for him to stand up. “You hurt me badly, Nicholas. I moved on, yeah? And I have someone in my life right now. How hard is it to understand?” I said sharply, getting off the bed to get dressed. “You don't love Damon. I see it in your eyes.” He blurted. I laughed, rolling my eyes. “I do love him. You know nothing about me, Nicholas Chavez.” “Then why are

    Nicholas’ POVThe shrill ringing of my phone pulled me out of sleep, cutting through the quiet morning. I groaned, rubbing my eyes as I reached for it on my nightstand. Luca's name flashed on the screen. I answered, my voice still hoarse from sleep. “What is it, Luca?” “Sir,” Luca's voice held excitement. “We got in. Kiara's company accepted your application.” I sat up abruptly, the drowsiness vanishing instantly. “What?”Kiara had accepted my application? Unbelievable. I hadn't expected it at all. “Yes, sir,” Luca confirmed. “We got the official email this morning.”For a moment, I didn't know how to react. My fingers tightened around the phone as emotions flooded through me. My eyes widened in happiness as I emerged from my bed. I had sent out applications to several companies, expecting rejections or complicated negotiations, but never in my wildest imagination did I think Kiara would approve me. A part of me wanted to believe it was her way of making peace, but I wasn't that

    Kiara's POV“Welcome back to work, Miss Kiara.” Rose greeted me with a smile on her face. I was happy to be back too, after a week of bed rest. My step-siblings were in jail, and I had ignored Ava's countless calls. I didn't even do anything to them. The police had caught them red-handed, and I didn't know how. Damon had sorted everything as he explained. “Collen!” I screamed in excitement as the old man walked up to hug me. Collen had been my biggest support ever since my dad passed away. He never stopped working with me despite the huge change in the company. Although I had given him enough funds and time to spend with his family and friends, he continued working. Collen had saved my life. And I was forever grateful to him and to God who had used him to change my story.“Good to have you back, Kiara.” He said with a big smile on his face. The rest of my staff greeted me happily as I proceeded to the meeting with my board members. “In your absence, ma'am, Mr. Collen has invited th

My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white as I glanced at Hollis, who was still waiting from a distance, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me. "Funny how you actually thought Kiara was calling you." His voice dripped with mockery, followed by another laugh that made my blood boil. I clenched my jaw so hard it ached.“Why the fuck did you call me?” I asked, growling. “To say thanks. For, um, saving my woman. And yes I took the credit, she would hate it if she found out that it was her cheating ex-husband who had saved her.” Damon explained. I bit my lip, all I wanted to do right now was punch him in the face. I never wanted the credit. I never wanted Kiara to know. But how on earth had Damon found out enough to pretend that he saved her?A sharp ting of frustration shot through me as I ended the

    Nicholas' POV“Sir, the FMF company's shareholders are planning to terminate the contract unless you comply with their demands.” Allen, the director of my board, said in a warning tone. That was it. Hollis had orchestrated this. Forcing me into marriage just to save my company. I growled under my breath, feeling my board members’ eyes on me as I stared at the file on the table.I barely heard the rest of the discussion. The contract lay before me, the words blurring together. “We've had other investors show interest,” Martha chimed in. “but none are willing to commit to the one-year deal.” I nodded absently, my mind elsewhere. Sarah Cameron had already dragged my company through hell, and now, just as I was rebuilding, Hollis was ready to take her chance. She had agreed to help without asking for marriage. What the hell was she on about? I pushed back my chair abruptly. “That'll be all for today. We'll meet again tomorrow.” Without another word, I strode out, heading straight fo

My head throbbed, my limbs felt weak, and I struggled to move. “Kiara…” The familiar voice broke through my haze, filled with so much emotion that it tugged at something deep inside me. Blinking a few times, my vision cleared, and I saw Jamie sitting beside me, her eyes glossy with unshed tears. “Oh, thank God!” she choked, covering her mouth with one hand. “You scared the hell out of me.” I tried to speak, but my throat felt too dry. She quickly reached for the cup of water on the bedside table, helping me sit up slightly so I could take a few small sips. The cool liquid soothed my throat, but my body still felt unbearably weak. “How… How long have I been here?” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper. “Since last night,” Jamie said, sniffling. “You were unconscious, Kiara.”I swallowed hard, memories o

Mandy has been at her boyfriend's since yesterday.” James scoffed. Damn it! He was getting on my nerves as usual. Only if he knew the mess Mandy was into right now. “Listen to me. I don't even care. Okay? I'm only driving off because the picture was sent to me in view once,” I swallowed. “I was asked to come alone, but I can't endanger my life either. I'll text the location to you, stay around.” I said, forwarding the location to him immediately. “Are you for real? Okay, I'll meet you there.” Goodness gracious. I exhaled, approaching the location. It was a deserted building, and I could feel my heart leaping out of my chest. I couldn't involve the police. It would only make matters worse. As I parked my car, my phone buzzed with James’ text saying he was around the building. I didn't trust James, but his
