Winston's POV

If my dreams could come to life, then I wouldn't be out of bed this morning.

The morning was a disaster.

I stared at the reports spread across my desk, the words blurring together into a meaningless mess.

Nothing made sense.

My assistant had come in twice to remind me about my schedule for the day, but I barely acknowledged her. My mind was elsewhere.

She haunted me.

Miss Stranger.

The woman with the sad eyes.

The taste of her skin still lingered on my tongue, the scent of her perfume clinging to my memory like a brand I couldn't shake.

A week had passed since she slipped out of my life without a word, without a name, without a trace. I had told myself it was for the best. No strings, no expectations. But here I was, restless, distracted, tormented by the ghost of a woman I had no way of finding.

“Shit!" I mumbled helplessly and swiveled on the chair.

I wasn't a weak man. No. I had women fall at my feet. But she was different. She haunted my night.

I couldn't sleep.

  • My Father-In-Law's Craziest Obsession   Chapter 05: Living Funeral

    Sansa's POVI wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole.I couldn't speak, I stayed dumb throughout the meeting, barely hearing or comprehending anything.Mr. Mysterious was to be my new business partner?Was this some sick joke?Somehow, I managed to get through the meeting, promising to get back to his company and see if we could work together.But I'd be damned if I agreed.There was no way I was getting entangled with him in business, nig after having the hottest sex of my life with the same man.I sat in the plush leather chair of Ellen Whitmore’s office, my fingers lightly tapping against the armrest.A plan. That's what I needed. I needed a plan to get rid of him and act like nothing ever happened between us.“You should really start socializing more, Sansa,” Ellen said, closing the file on her desk. “It’s been weeks since everything happened. Hiding away isn’t going to help you move forward.” I exhaled sharply, crossing my legs. “I told you, I’m not ready.” “And I

  • My Father-In-Law's Craziest Obsession   Chapter 6: The Sexy Ghost 

    Winston’s POV“Who is causing a scene at my daughter-in-law’s funeral?” I barked as I stepped forward. This was Richard Gaines' fault. I should never have listened to that lawyer. He was too polite! Now I had to play daddy to a boy who didn't give two shits about me. A boy who was a mess. “Sir, she is causing quite the show," one of the guards beside me replied. I wasn't expecting another drama here. It was bad enough that Killian was burying a woman that was probably not dead. “Don't tell me one of his toys has showed me here during such an important event!" I hissed, disappointed as ever in my son. But the moment I saw her, I froze. Her eyes whipped toward me and goodness, they were still that same fierce shade of stormcloud gray. She was beautiful. She was everything like I recalled on that hotel bed. “Sir?" One of the guards called out, shaking me out of my dazed state. I clenched my jaw and looked at Killian. I had to play cold. I couldn't act like I knew her. What we

    Sansa’s POV “What we had was nothing," the words rang in my head. And he was right. A night tucked away in some five star hotel in Italy was nothing. We were strangers lost in each other. It didn't matter that we didn't know each other's names. I'd begged him to stay with me. He'd wanted me badly as I did him. We made love. The best sex I'd ever had. Killian was the only other man I'd ever been with. And Winston was a much better lover. He'd worshipped my body. He'd made sure I cried out in pleasure until my throat became sore. And then I'd left before he could wake up. The shame was overwhelming. I couldn't face it. But now, watching him say those words and walk away, watching him defend his monstrous son, I was happy I left. Winston was a scum. Just like his son. “I should have known," I couldn't help the tears that rolled down my eyes as I hurried from the exit. The cameras were running wild. Everyone wanted a glimpse of the supposedly dead heiress. They wanted a gli

  • My Father-In-Law's Craziest Obsession   Chapter 8: The Gift of Wolves

    Sansa’s POVThe walls were still too white.Sterile. Bare. The kind of white that reminded me of a hospital room or a prison cell, depending on how dark my thoughts ran that morning.And today, they ran pitch black.I sat at the lone desk in the center of the room and tried to breathe. “Starting over is a nightmare," I mused. But this was mine now. My company.Or at least, a start of one. A new start. That’s what Eleanor had called it when she all but forced me to sign the lease. “Killian took your name, your company, your future, it's time for you to take something back,” she’d said. And it wasn't a lie. I had a reason to start over. With the right connections, I could get back my father's hidden inheritance. What was left of what Killian couldn't steal from me. I was supposed to be powerful again. Sansa Vale, the rebirth. But all I could feel was fragile. Scared. Pathetic.I hadn’t stopped shaking since the funeral.Since Winston.There was a bitter taste in my mouth just think

    Sansa’s POVThe Devil in a Suit“Bankruptcy?" I couldn't breathe. My shares. Everything that Killian had taken from me. My inheritance. My family's wealth. It all now belonged to the Wolfe family. If they fell, I would fall with them. My heart pounded in my ears. What were they saying out there? Did they blame me for the fall in the stock value? Did they know everything? Had someone seen us? Had someone seen me and Winston? It was an abomination. The Wolfe and Vale family would be ruined beyond repair. I felt sick. Oh God. If the press found out, if Killian found out I had slept with his father, I’d be ruined.My family was once one of the most respected in the city. My father had built empires, held so much power. But now? He was gone. Buried. Along with my dignity and the last shreds of reputation.I had trusted Killian. Loved him. Given up my shares, my legacy, my inheritance, to stand beside him as his wife. And he had taken everything in our three years together. And Win

  • My Father-In-Law's Craziest Obsession   Chapter 10: Raging Passion

    Sansa’s POVI would recognize that voice anywhere.It was a rumbling baritone that did wonders to my body. Low. Dark. Sexy. I hissed at the feelings it evoked within me. The voice alone broke through every wall I had spent days trying to rebuild. My body reacted before my brain caught up, jolting up from my chair like I’d been shocked.I turned to him with anger. “What the hell are you doing here?” I hissed. “Get out of my office. Now.”Winston Wolfe didn’t move.He just stood there in the doorway like he owned the place, like he owned me. One hand was in the pocket of his immaculate suit and he wore that look again, the one that said he knew more than he should. The one that had seduced me, haunted me, and now, threatened to destroy me.“I asked you to leave!” I snapped.His lips curved. “Did you like my gift?”I went cold.So it was him. The diamond earring. The little velvet box. The ‘W.’I felt like the floor shifted beneath my feet. My life was becoming a Bollywood show. “

    Sansa's POVI sat at the large dining table, staring at the untouched trays before me.It was the perfect night, there were scented candle lights, plates of lobster, steak, and roasted vegetables and these were all of Killian’s favorites.Everything was perfect except for the empty chair across me. I sighed heavily as I stared at the antique clock.“Where is he," I mumbled uneasily and tightened my grip around my fork.At this same time, a soft shuffle of footsteps broke my thoughts and I looked up eagerly.But it wasn't him.Madeline, the head maid, was coming with another plate of steaming bacon and our anniversary cake.“The cake has arrived, ma'am," she smiled at me.I nodded, looking at the four tier cake with a smile. It was chocolate and sweet cream, Killian's favorite."Madeline, is master Killian back?" I asked hopefully. Her eyes lowered and she shook her head. "No, ma’am. There’s been no sign of him." The hope deflated but I swallowed, forcing a small smile. “Alright."“

    Sansa's POVI stood frozen in the doorway, my heart hammering so loudly it drowned out every other sound in the room. My hands were shaking, my feet could barely hold me up.I couldn't breathe.Astrid. My best friend. Her unmistakable golden hair was splayed out around her, her eyes rolled back in the back of her head as she gripped his biceps like her life depended on it.My stomach turned and a strangled gasp escaped my lips before I could stop it.Killian's head snapped toward me at the sound and that's when he pulled away from her. Slowly.Then he looked at me with an expression of pure irritation. Annoyance. Like he was mad that I was disrupting his fun.Astrid, who was struggling to pull down her dress, simply smirked. “Oh, look,” she purred, sitting up lazily on the mahogany desk. “The dutiful little housewife has arrived.” My breath came in ragged gasps and the room spun around me. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real. This had to be a nightmare.I took a shaky step for

    Sansa's POVI sat curled in my first-class seat on the airplane, my body trembling as I stared out the window, watching the city lights vanishing into the vast darkness of the night. Tears kept slipping down my cheeks. No matter how many times I wiped them away, it wouldn't stop.The two people that made my world. My husband and my best friend.“They've never loved me, both of them,” I mumbled dejectedly.Who could I blame? Astrid for sleeping with my man or Killian for betraying me with my best friend after three years together?I clutched my arms around myself, trying to hold myself together, but it was useless. I felt like I was falling apart in front of a cabin full of strangers on the airplane.Somehow, I wished this flight would never land.“Miss?” I flinched at the voice, startled from my miserable thoughts.“Huh?" I replied, lost.He was older, possibly in his early or mid forties.Tall, broad-shouldered, and elegant in a way that screamed power and class.He had brown hair
