Her dangerous desires Moving on
Chapter 87: Moving onJOHN EVANSI sat on the edge of my bed, my hands clasped together, we had left Ethan's place for our place after the whole drama with Marvin.Marvin. My only son. I failed him. I left him in that godforsaken mental institution, thinking it was for the best. That he’d get better. That someone else would do the work I wasn’t strong enough to do myself. But seeing him today broken, lost, drowning in his own mind, I knew I had made the worst mistake of my life.He needed his family, he needed help, and this time, I wasn’t going to run away. I grabbed my phone and started making calls. First, I contacted the best therapist in New York. I didn’t care how much it cost or how many clients they had lined up. “I don’t want an appointment in a month. I need one now.” I responded as they started to give me excuses about being fully booked.The woman at the other end tried to respond, “Sir…” But I cut her off, making it clear that money wasn’t an issue. My son neede

Chapter 88: I feel uselessGREG EVANS“What's he doing here?” Marvin asked as he got into the house with Mia and John.“I'll explain later, son. Take him to his room Mia.” John said to Mia as he moved to his room and she thankfully obeyed.I know I haven't been a good person, I thought as I sat on the couch, staring at the empty glass in front of me. I hadn’t touched the whiskey in it, which was unusual for me. But lately, even alcohol couldn’t drown out the guilt that clawed at me. Marvin. Thinking about what I did to him, the role I played in what he has been going through made me weak in the knee. I had a hand in his downfall, whether I wanted to admit it or not. I gave him the first taste of the poison that ruined him. I didn’t force him into addiction, no—but I sure as hell didn’t stop it either. And when things got bad, I turned my back like everyone else. Now look where we are. I let out a deep sigh and ran a hand over my face. I needed to talk to John. I found him in

Chapter 89: Not divorcedETHANAfter everything that happened with John’s family, I needed a break. I hadn’t seen Aunt Margaret in a while, and if there was anyone who could take my mind off things, it was her. The drive to her house was peaceful. My childhood home sat on the outskirts of town, surrounded by a garden she took too much pride in. As soon as I stepped out of the car, I spotted her—kneeling beside a row of tomato plants, hands covered in dirt. She looked up and grinned. “Well, if it isn’t my favorite nephew.” “I’m your only nephew,” I reminded her, walking over. “And yet, still my favorite,” she teased, wiping her hands on her apron. “You came at the right time. These weeds aren’t going to pull themselves.” “You do know I’m wearing a suit, right?” I said, sighing dramatically.“And whose fault is that? Get down here.” She scoffed, unbothered.After an hour of getting my hands dirty, she finally let me off the hook and invited me inside. She poured us both a glas

Chapter 90: I can’t be with youSOPHIEI can't believe that Liam actually threw me out. I thought as I stood outside his house, blinking at the closed door, my pride hanging by a thread. I turned on my heel and walked away, my fists clenched. I wouldn’t cry. Not for him. Not for this. By the time I got home, my phone started ringing. Dad. Great. Just what I needed. I hesitated before answering. “Hey dad.” “Sophie. Come to the house. Now.” His voice was firm.I let out a slow breath. “But It’s late.” “I don’t care. Come home now. We need to talk.” He said and the line went dead. I groaned, tossing my phone onto the couch. Of course, he wouldn’t take no for an answer. Ten minutes later, I was back in my car, driving toward my family home, mentally preparing for yet another interrogation. Dad was already seated in the living room when I arrived, his expression unreadable. Mom was beside him, looking at me with her brows knitted together, lips pressing into a thin line as she

Chapter 91: You're miserableLIAMI needed to avoid Sophie. At least until I broke things off with Mia. That was the plan. A simple one. I reached my apartment building and tried my key but my key didn’t fit. I frowned, jiggling it harder, still nothing. My blood ran cold. The locks had been changed. I stepped back, staring at my own damn door like it had betrayed me. There was only one person who could’ve done this. My father.Anger bubbled up inside me as I clenched my fists, kicking the door which only caused me pain. I needed to do something and I needed to act fast. I turned on my heel, storming back to my car, and headed straight for the family estate. The moment I stepped into the house, I didn’t wait for pleasantries. I found my father in his study, sipping on his overpriced whiskey like he hadn’t just locked his own son out of his home. “You changed my damn locks?” I growled. Dad barely looked up. “Ah, you’re back.” I slammed my hands onto his desk. “You had

Chapter 92: I won't let him use me againMIAI don't know why but I missed Ethan, I missed the way he looked at me, his touch, the way he cared about me and it hadn't even been up to a week since we last saw each other. Anyways, I decided to go to his house and give him a surprise, I'm sure he'll love it. Immediately, I got dressed and hit the road after telling my dad that I was going to see a friend.I was really thankful for what was going on with my family recently, uncle Greg’s change of character, Marvin and me reconciling, Marvin seeking good professional help. Everything just got me in a really good mood.I stepped into Ethan’s house, my heart light, my mind still replaying our last conversation. He’d promised me that he had changed, that he was done playing games. And I had let myself believe him yet again.But as I walked toward his bedroom, I heard the sound of water running in the shower. I smiled knowing he was taking his bath, I decided to check in on him when a heard a

Chapter 93: Special guestJOHN EVANSWalking into my office felt different today. Maybe it was the weight of everything that had happened recently—the battles fought, the company reclaimed, the damages done—but as I sat in my chair, I felt calm and peaceful.Then, the door opened, and there she was. Ava. She walked in with a confidence that had always drawn me to her. Her dark hair was pinned neatly, her dress hugging her curves just right, and damn it if she looked all professional, all I could see was the woman I recently started a relationship with, the woman who had reignited something in me I thought had died with Martha. “Good morning, Mr. Evans,” she greeted with a smirk, knowing full well I hated the formality. I leaned back in my chair, eyes locked on her. “Ava.” She placed a stack of documents in front of me. “Your schedule for the day. Also, these need your signature.” I barely glanced at them. Instead, I reached out, letting my fingers trail up her arm. “You lo

Chapter 94: Do betterGREG EVANSI stared at my phone, my fingers tightening around it as I read the anonymous text. Another text came in immediately from the same unknown number.“Meet me at the bar downtown, you owe me a lot.” A scoff left my lips. Who the hell did this person think they were? I didn’t owe anyone anything. I deleted the message and locked my phone. I had better things to focus on—like making up for lost time with my kids. The smell of grilled burgers and fresh fries filled the air as I sat across from Derrick and Amanda at a quiet diner. Neither of them looked excited to be here. Derrick leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. “You’ve never taken us out before.” “I know,” I admitted, rubbing the back of my neck. “I should have, and I regret that.” Amanda raised an eyebrow. “Wait, you regret it?” she repeated, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Am I hearing right?” I exhaled. “I was a terrible father.” Derrick scoffed. “That’s an understatement.” I clen

Chapter 123: Meddling prosecutorSMITH COLEHehe!🫢I sat in my room, my fingers tapping against the desk. Emily stood in front of me, her hands shaking, she looked so pathetic. "Tell me, Emily," I said, my voice low but laced with unmistakable displeasure. "Why do I even bother with you?" She opened her mouth, then closed it, struggling to form an answer. I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly and shook my head."You promised me results," I continued. "You swore you’d keep Ethan distracted, feed me information, and what have you done? Nothing." "I…I tried," she stammered. "But he's always a step ahead. He…" I slammed my hand against the desk, making her flinch. "Excuses bore me, Emily." She swallowed hard. "Please, just give me another chance. I…" "You don't have a choice." I leaned forward, my gaze piercing into hers. "Because I have something you want." I pulled out my phone and tapped the screen. A second later, a picture appeared—Nathan, sitting in a dark room,
Her dangerous desires Erevos
Chapter 122: ErevosJOHN EVANSAs I walked out of Ethan’s office, the word replayed he asked me about in my mind ‘Erevos.’ I told him I didn’t know what it meant, but that was a lie. I didn’t trust him enough to tell the truth. The moment I got into my car, I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my mind racing. Erevos—Martha’s safe word. The code to her safe deposit box. She had told me about it once, in passing, as if she were preparing for the worst. At the time, I brushed it off, believing she was just being cautious. I pulled out of the parking lot and drove straight to the bank. The entire ride there, my chest felt heavy. If Ethan found the word in her documents, that meant she had been gathering something—evidence, secrets, something powerful enough to destroy Smith Cole. The bank manager recognized me immediately and led me to the private vault area. The safe deposit box sat there, untouched for years because I never had enough courage to check it out. I told the manager t

Chapter 121: Innocent until proven guiltyETHANI barely had time to process the evidence I had gathered when my office door slammed open. A man strode in, wearing an expensive suit, his face red with fury. I didn’t bother standing. I simply leaned back in my chair and watched him. "You really think you’re untouchable, don’t you, Ethan?" He hissed, slamming his hands on my desk. I remained calm. "And who the hell are you? Barging into my office like you own the place." "Don’t play games with me," he snapped. "I know you had my late wife’s case reopened." I tilted my head. "Ah, so words travel fast. That’s interesting." His eyes darkened. "You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into." I let out a small chuckle. "That’s where you’re wrong. I know exactly what I’m getting into. The question is…do you?" Smith clenched his jaw. "Drop it, Ethan. I’m warning you." I stood slowly, placing my hands on my desk as I met his gaze. "You don’t get to warn me. You think I don’
Her dangerous desires I'm not a child
Chapter 120: I'm not a childMIAI was curled up on the couch, absentmindedly scrolling through my phone when I heard the front door open. It was Uncle Greg.I sat up looking at him. Judging by the way he looked back at me, I had a feeling my dad had already told him everything. Greg walked into the living room, rubbing his neck, his eyebrows narrowing.“So,” he said, dropping onto the couch across from me, “you and Ethan, huh?” I swallowed. “Dad told you.” He snorted. “Told me? More like ranted for a full hour. I had to remind him to breathe at some point.” I let out a small, humorless laugh. “Sounds about right.” Greg leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “Look, Mia, I get it.” I frowned. “You get it? That's a lie. No one understands me.” He nodded, sighing heavily. “You’re in love with someone older, someone who’s got baggage, someone who isn’t exactly an easy choice.” He paused. “I’ve been there.” I blinked. “Wait…what?” Greg rubbed his jaw, looking lik
Her dangerous desires Anxiety
Chapter 119: AnxietySOPHIEMia was still asleep. I sat on the couch beside her, watching her. She looked exhausted, and I didn’t blame her. With everything happening, she deserved the rest. I tried to focus on her, on making sure she was okay, but my mind kept drifting. To Liam, the baby. To whether or not Liam even wanted this baby. He had reassured me, held me close, and told me we would be okay. But what if he was just saying that because he felt he had to? What if deep down, he was scared, or worse—regretful? He had always wanted to stand on his own, to build a life outside his father’s influence, I mean I even encouraged it but a baby changes everything. Did he see it as a burden? I shook my head at the thought. No. Liam loves me. He wouldn’t see our baby as a burden… right? Mia stirred beside me, stretching before her eyes slowly fluttered open. She blinked up at me sleepily. “You’re still here?” I managed a small smile. “Yeah, but I was just about to head home.”
Her dangerous desires Fury
Chapter 118: FuryJOHN EVANSI dropped Mia off at the house and gave strict instructions to the security not to let her out. My blood was boiling and my fists clenched so tight my knuckles ached. The image of Ethan and Mia together, still fresh in my memory. My own best friend. My daughter. How could they? I needed to forget everything. I zoomed off, gripping the steering wheel, my breaths coming in short. I didn’t trust myself around Mia—not when I was this furious. I needed a drink. I drove aimlessly until I spotted a bar on the corner of an empty street. Without thinking, I pulled in, parked, and headed inside. The smell of alcohol and smoke hit me instantly. It was quiet, only a few people scattered around. Perfect. I walked straight to the counter. “Whiskey. Neat.” The bartender nodded, pourin
Her dangerous desires Mr politician
Chapter 117: Mr politicianLIAMI stood outside my apartment door, gripping my keys so tightly my knuckles turned white. I recalled what my boss told me as I got to the office.“We're sorry, we have to lay you off. We appreciate your time here.” That's how I was fired. Just like that, without any reason.I hadn’t even seen it coming. One moment, I was in a meeting, and the next, I was being pulled aside by my boss who told me that my services were no longer needed. No explanation. No warning.I forced a breath through my nose, trying to push the frustration down. I wasn’t going to tell Sophie. Not yet. She had been dealing with so much at work, and I didn’t want to add to her stress. I unlocked the door and stepped inside. The apartment was quiet. “Sophie?” I called, scanning the living room. No answer. I che
Her dangerous desires Danger to society
Chapter 116: Danger to societyETHANPain was the first thing I felt when I woke up. A deep, throbbing ache that spread through my ribs and face like wildfire. I groaned, my head pounding as I forced my eyes open. My vision was blurry, but I could make out a figure sitting beside me. It was Emily. She was dabbing a cloth against my forehead, her face unreadable. “You’re awake,” she murmured, relief laced in her voice. I tried to sit up, but my body protested. “What the hell are you doing here?” I rasped. “You were beaten unconscious, Ethan,” she said matter-of-factly. “Someone had to take care of you.” I scoffed, wincing at the pain it caused. “I don’t need your help. You're the one who caused all these in the first place.” She frowned, clearly irritated. “You could at least say thank you, I mean, I did all of that for your own good. She doesn't deserve you, she too young for…”I glared. “I didn’t ask for your help. Get out.” She hesitated, her lips pressing into a thin
Her dangerous desires A wreck
Chapter 115: A wreckMIAThe car ride home was unbearable. The silence between dad and I was suffocating and heavy. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, glancing at my father, but his hands remained tight on the steering wheel, his knuckles white. His jaw was clenched, his entire body was stiff with fury. I swallowed hard and finally gathered the courage to speak. “Dad…” My voice was quiet, hesitant. Nothing. “Can we at least talk about this?” I tried again, my fingers twisting in my lap. Still nothing. He didn’t even glance in my direction. I bit my lip, my chest tightening. “I know you’re mad, but…” He let out a sharp breath through his nose, gripping the wheel even tighter. “Mad?” he finally spoke, his voice dangerously low. “Mad doesn’t even begin to cover it. I'm livid, Mia Alexandria Evans.” I flinched, he never calls me by my full name. “Dad, I…” “Don’t! I do not want to do this with you, young woman.” His voice was cold, final. Tears stung my eyes. I hated th
