I prided myself on being able to sway people with little effort. But Amira was different. She was a challenge I hadn’t expected, a puzzle that seemed to shift just when I thought I had figured it out. And it was that very challenge that intrigued me, drove me to try even harder.

Today, I decided to step into her world. I visited her hospital under the guise of a casual check-in, though we both knew it was anything but. I made sure my schedule was clear, every detail of the visit planned meticulously. I wanted to impress her, to show her that I was willing to go to any lengths to get her attention—even if she pretended not to care.

When I arrived at the hospital, I noticed how the staff seemed both surprised and a little intimidated by my presence. I was used to that. My reputation preceded me, and it was rare for me to enter a room without commanding immediate attention. But as I walked down the brightly lit corridors, my thoughts were entirely focused on Amira.

    *Amira POV*Aiden’s gaze was intense, as if he were trying to figure out something hidden beneath the surface. Aiden was different from anyone I’d ever met—intense, brooding, with a darkness that seemed to cling to him. But beneath all that, I could sense a vulnerability, a softness he didn’t want anyone to see. It intrigued me, though I would never admit it.He was always trying to impress me, in his own way, and it almost made me want to laugh. There was something almost endearing about it, like he wasn’t used to having to work so hard for someone’s attention. But I wasn’t someone who could be easily swayed by a charming smile or a few sweet words. I’d seen too much, been through too much, to fall for that. And I could tell that my resistance frustrated him.When our eyes met, I kept my expression calm, unreadable. I wouldn’t let him see that he affected me, that there was something about him that stirred emotions I wasn’t ready to confront. But when he wasn’t looking, when he could

    Amira pov My fingers hovered over the keyboard, my mind a tangled web of emotions and thoughts I couldn’t quite grasp. The engagement party had been a whirlwind of celebration, laughter, and love, but now that I was alone in my bed, the quiet of the night pressed down on me, leaving space for all the thoughts I had pushed aside.My friends had filled the group chat with congratulations, heart emojis, and virtual confetti. Everyone seemed genuinely thrilled for me, everyone except Ryan. As the messages poured in, I kept glancing at the chat, waiting for his name to pop up. But it never did. He was the one friend I expected to hear from the most, yet his absence weighed heavily on my heart.I tried to brush it off, telling myself that he must be busy. Ryan had a demanding job, and it wasn’t unusual for him to miss messages when he was caught up in work. But still, it nagged at me.My phone buzzed again, pulling me out of my thoughts. This time, it wasn’t from the group chat. My heart s

    After a sleepless night, I dragged myself to the hospital, my mind still reeling from the events of the previous evening. I couldn’t shake the memory of Aiden’s words, the way they had affected me so deeply. It was foolish, I knew, to let him get under my skin like that, but the damage was already done. I was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and it showed in the dark circles under my eyes.As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I headed straight to Emera’s room. Emera was a little girl with no one in the world but me. She had been found fainted on the road, and when I saw her in the emergency department that night, the staff had been debating whether to admit her. They were concerned about costs, about whether she could afford the treatment. But the moment I saw her, something inside me snapped. I wasn’t usually the type to throw my weight around, but seeing her so vulnerable, knowing she had no one else, ignited a fire in me. I had ordered the staff to admit her without hesita

    Aiden, My parents, Antoni and Isabelle Wolfe, had taken charge, turning the affair into something far grander than I had ever planned or wanted. If it were up to me, it would be simple—just me and Amira. But they insisted, calling it a “union of two great families,” as if this was about anything more than just me wanting her. I was fine with the show, as long as it didn’t interfere with my business. After glancing at the clock, I grabbed my phone and headed out. I was greeted by the sight of Michael near my car, he was about to go somewhere I think. I grabbed the stack of invitations from Michael’s hands, stopping him just as he was about to get into his car. He looked at me, confused, as I stood there with a raised eyebrow. “Going somewhere?” I asked casually, flipping through the invitations as if I were inspecting them. “Yeah, your parents wanted me to take these to Amira’s family. They’re supposed to check them over,” Michael said, watching me carefully. I chuckled, s

    The hospital was buzzing with activity, a hum of energy that never seemed to die down. It felt like I’d been living within these walls for weeks, barely catching my breath between patients and new cases. The flu season had hit hard, and with an influx of rising cases, my workload had doubled. Every corner of the hospital was packed, every nurse and doctor running on fumes, and I wasn’t spared from the chaos. Between managing my regular pediatric patients and assisting in emergency cases, I found myself constantly running between rooms, barely pausing for a break. On top of that, my emotions were stretched thin. I’d been missing Aiden more than I thought I would, and with him being away in Italy, it felt like there was an emptiness gnawing at me. It had been a week since he left, and the distance was starting to get to me. Though, knowing him, he found ways to make his presence felt even from afar. In rare moments of quiet, I would sneak off to Emera’s room. She was one of the few

    I had just finished my rounds, feeling a mixture of exhaustion and excitement as the wedding day drew closer. I could hardly believe I would be marrying Aiden a day after tomorrow. As I stepped into my small office to grab a quick bite, my heart skipped a beat. Standing there, leaning casually against my desk, was Aiden. I felt a rush of excitement flood through me, but I did my best to maintain my composure. “Hey princess !” he said, his smile lighting up the room. “When did you get back from Italy?” I exclaimed, a grin spreading across my face. He shrugged, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “Just now. How about grabbing a lunch.” I felt my pulse quicken at the thought of spending time alone with him. “Sounds perfect!” I grabbed my bag, and we headed out together. We drove to a quaint Italian restaurant nearby, and as we entered, the warm ambiance immediately enveloped me. The rustic decor and soft music created the perfect setting for our lunch. We found a cozy corner table, a

    Aiden pov,As the sun rose on what was to become one of the biggest wedding days in our family’s history, excitement coursed through my veins. My father had gone all out, constructing a breathtaking venue that was not only grand but also intimate enough to make the occasion feel special. The lavish decorations sparkled under the morning light, and the scent of fresh flowers filled the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly complemented the joy I felt. Today was the day I was finally marrying Amira—the woman I had come to adore more than I ever thought possible.As I stood at the altar, adorned in my tailored suit that fit me perfectly, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and nervous energy. The crowd was a blur, their chatter fading into the background as my thoughts focused solely on Amira. I had been waiting for this moment for what felt like an eternity, longing to see her walk down the aisle and officially become my wife. The weight of the day was palpable, a

    The reception was in full swing. The air buzzed with the excitement of friends, family, and well-wishers who surrounded Amira and me, handing over gifts and offering congratulations. I watched as Amira was embraced by all her close friends, their words of support and love echoing in the large venue that had been so meticulously decorated. Her smile was radiant, lighting up the room, but I could see the subtle shift in her mood when Mia, one of her closest friends, mentioned that Ryan couldn’t make it to the wedding.She tried to hide it, but I knew her well enough to see the hint of sadness in her eyes. Her lips still curved in a smile as she nodded and listened to her friends, but the brief shadow that passed over her expression was unmistakable. A flare of frustration shot through me. Why did she care so much that Ryan wasn’t here? It gnawed at me more than I wanted to admit. I tried to push it away, focusing on the joy of the day, but the irritation lingered in the back of my mind.

  • RAGING FLAME   The end

    The morning was filled with anticipation as Aiden sat in the hospital’s waiting room, his hands resting gently on the small shoulders of his three-year-old son. The little boy, with his curly hair and deep brown skin, played with a small toy car, unaware of the monumental moment that was about to change their lives forever. Aiden couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the boy—a child Amira had insisted on adopting despite the prejudices of others.Amira had met the boy during one of her visits to the orphanage. She had been furious to see him excluded and got hurt by the other children because of his skin color, and her fierce heart wouldn’t let it go. She had scolded those children and, without hesitation, decided to bring him into their family. The boy was now the light of their lives, and today, he was about to become a big brother.“Daddy, when is Mommy coming out?” the boy asked, his innocent eyes looking up at Aiden.“Soon, buddy. Your little sister will be here any minute now,

    Aiden covered her completely with bed sheets.Crawling under the covers, Aiden wrapped his arms around Amira's trembling body and guided her knees towards her chest. She instinctively clutched the fabric to her breasts, a barrier of modesty. "Shhh, it's okay," he murmured, pressing soothing kisses along her inner thighs. "I've got you."His lips trailed higher, skimming over soft, sensitive skin. Amira's breath hitched as his mouth neared her most intimate place. Would he truly...? Anticipation mingled with nervousness, a potent mix.Aiden nuzzled in close, inhaling her womanly musk. He licked a slow stripe through glistening folds. A strangled moan escaped her throat.He chuckled against her flesh. "You taste like heaven, Amira. Let me pleasure you." Parting her with his thumbs, he delved in for a deeper sample, laving her sweet nectar. His tongue circled her pearl, coaxing it to stiffness. Amira bucked into the different sensation, hands fisting in the sheets. Nothing had ever

    Aiden arrived at the office minutes before the meeting, his stride confident but unhurried. Michele, already seated at the conference table, looked up in surprise, his eyes widening.“Well, well, well,” Michele said, leaning back in his chair with a smirk. “I didn’t think you’d actually show up after that call earlier. Thought you’d be… otherwise occupied.”Aiden chuckled, adjusting his tie as he took a seat. “I keep my priorities straight, Michele. Besides, someone has to make sure you don’t screw this up.”Michele laughed, shaking his head. “You’re something else, man. But hey, can’t blame you. If I had what you have waiting at home, I’d probably skip every meeting too.”Aiden gave him a knowing grin but said nothing, his thoughts already drifting to Amira.The day passed in a blur of presentations and negotiations, but Aiden’s mind kept wandering back to the promise Amira had made that morning. By the time the meeting ended, he could barely contain his excitement.As he pulled into

    The early morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow on the room. Aiden lay on his back, his arms wrapped tightly around Amira as she nestled against his chest. Their bodies were tangled together under the sheets, a peaceful silence enveloping them.Aiden’s phone buzzed on the bedside table, breaking the calm. He groaned, reaching out to grab it, but before he could, Amira snatched it from his hand with a sleepy but determined motion.“Hello?” she said groggily, her voice low and raspy from sleep.On the other end, Michele’s voice sounded serious. “Aiden, there’s an important meeting this morning. You need to—”Amira cut him off mid-sentence. “He’s not coming anywhere,” she said, her words slow and deliberate. “Handle it yourself.”There was a moment of stunned silence from Michele.Aiden, unable to hold back his amusement, chuckled softly, burying his face in her hair. “You’re something else, you know that?” he murmured, kissing her cheek.Michele, still on

    The cold metal of the gun pressed against Amira’s back sent a shiver down her spine, but her jaw clenched in defiance. The man behind her tightened his grip on her hair, yanking her head back as he sneered.“Put the gun down,” he ordered, his voice rough and taunting. “You’ve got no chance, sweetheart. You’re just a girl.”Amira’s teeth ground together, her blood boiling at his condescension. Her fingers twitched, itching to grab the gun, but his hold on her hair kept her restrained.From the shadows, a soft, deliberate noise echoed—a click of the tongue, dripping with mock disappointment.The man holding Amira froze, his head snapping toward the sound. Amira turned her eyes in the same direction, and from the darkness, a figure stepped into the dim light, his silhouette instantly recognizable.Aiden.He stood casually, a gun resting lazily in his hand, his other hand scratching his head as if he were mildly bored. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned, his sleeves rolled up, but his expr

    The clock on the bedside table read 2:37 a.m. when Amira’s phone buzzed silently. She stirred, blinking in the dim light as she reached for it. The name Denis flashed across the screen. Her pulse quickened. She glanced at Aiden, whose arm was draped over her waist, his steady breathing indicating he was deep asleep.She hesitated for a second before answering, whispering, “Hello?”“Amira,” Denis’s voice was sharp, urgent. “I’m in trouble. I need you. Now.”“What’s going on?” she asked, keeping her voice low.“They’ve found me. I’m sending my location. Please, hurry,” he said before the line went dead.Amira exhaled slowly, her mind racing. She turned to Aiden, carefully lifting his arm and sliding out of bed. He stirred briefly, but his breathing soon returned to its rhythmic cadence.She moved quietly through the apartment, grabbing her jacket and the loaded gun she kept in a drawer. As she reached the living room, Leo, lifted his head, his sharp eyes following her.“Shh, Leo,” she w

    Aiden signalled one of his men to clean up the mess and made other one to drive the car.The air in the car was heavy with the remnants of the chaos they had just left behind, but in the backseat, the tension between Aiden and Amira had shifted to something softer, something far more intimate. The city lights flickered through the tinted windows, casting a warm glow over their faces as the car rolled down the quiet streets.Amira leaned against Aiden, her head resting lightly on his shoulder. She let out a long, tired sigh and turned her face slightly toward him. “Thanks for the… valuable gift,” she murmured, her voice laced with a mix of gratitude and lingering exhaustion.Aiden smirked, tilting his head to look at her. “Valuable gift? That’s one way to put it,” he teased, his tone playful. “You emptied bullets into him.shouldn’t I deserve more than thanks”Amira shot him a faint smile, her eyes glimmering under the soft light.She shifted slightly, looking up at him more directly. “

    The gun felt like it weighed a thousand pounds in Amira’s trembling hands, but her resolve was steady. Memories crashed over her like waves—moments of fear, anguish, and betrayal all tied to the man in front of her. He had been the architect of her nightmares, the shadow that loomed over her every step, and now, he sat bound, powerless, and at her mercy.Her breath came in short, sharp bursts as she took a step closer, her eyes dark with rage. She raised the gun and pointed it at his groin, her finger hovering over the trigger. “Stephen”she called out his name with a sinister smile with an head tilt..The man’s sneer vanished instantly, replaced by wide-eyed terror.“No! Wait! Please!” he shouted, struggling against the restraints. “Don’t do this! I’ll do anything you want—just don’t shoot!”Amira’s lips twisted into a bitter smile. “Anything I want?” she repeated, her voice cold and venomous. “How generous of you, can you give my child’s life back.”“I—I was wrong,” he stammered, hi

    The night air was thick with finality as I packed my things and left the mansion behind—along with the memories, the pain, and the darkness it harbored. Every step I took away from that place felt like shedding a weight off my chest, but the further I went, the more I realized how deeply my father’s betrayal had wounded me. Even leaving Aiden behind, with all the history we shared, felt like a necessary step in a journey that no longer had any clear destination.The city lights grew dim as I sped away, and by the time I reached Mia’s house, the moon was hanging low in the sky, casting long shadows over her quiet neighborhood. I knocked softly at first, hesitant to disturb her, but the need for someone—anyone—was stronger than my hesitance. My second knock was firmer, and after a few moments, the door opened to Mia’s familiar face, her warm smile faltering when she saw the state I was in.“Amira?” Her voice was full of surprise, then concern as she took in my tear-streaked face, the ha
