Thane's pov As I pulled into the driveway, Melissa's enraged voice echoed from the entrance of my mansion. The fucking entrance! God, she's loud.For a moment, I briefly considered going back to me car, putting my car in reverse to get the fuck away from her. " Chill, man, you just postponed your wedding; any woman would be upset. You just have to calm her down " I remind myself as I walk in.Most of the staff's scurry in and out of my room, exchanging hushed whispers and nervous glances. When I walk in, I find Melissa frantically packing clothes, makeup, and other belongings. Some were scattered haphazardly on the floor, I even nearly stepped on her hair dryer. The bedside mirror had a large crack in the middle , with some pieces of shattered glass on the floor. I would have to avoid stepping on those too. I wonder what she must have thrown at it, hopefully not any of my stuff.She came to a standstill when she saw me walk in, her face beet-red with rage." You had no right to post

Andera's pov. " The curse was broken and the beast transformed into a handsome prince. The prince and beauty got married in a grand ceremony, people gathered from far and wide to join their celebration, and they lived happily ever after the end." I closed the bedtime storybook with a soft thud, watching a small smile spread on Tiffany's lips. Her eyelids dropped, and she snuggled closer to me, her small body relaxing into mine." This is my favorite bedtime story, mommy. " She mumbled. " It's a great story," I whisper back. Timmy, my little caretaker, took the book from me, climbed down from the bed, and carefully placed it on the book rack. My heart swelled with pride as I watched him climb back onto the bed, his little face beaming with a sense of accomplishment. Timmy, my little man."Mommy, when daddy comes back, you'll get to live happily too, just like Beauty, and then Timmy and I can make new drawings of the four of us in our own happily ever after. " Her voice slurs.I clo

Andera's pov. It's been a week since that sneering text from Thane. He hadn't replied to me back, and since then, our communication has been between our P.As, but today, we're having a meeting, and my blood simmers at the thought of seeing him.The meeting is scheduled at Thane's company, and while that pisses me off, it is only customary that we have our meetings at his, I'm the one who asked for coloboration, after all.Since today's details would be concise, I'm only accompanied by my COO, Rosa.“ Ready to go slay your ex-husband?" Rosa questions with a smirk while she drove." As ready as one can be. " is my witty response.“ Great, and when we're done, we could go pick up my two munchkins from preschool. " Her onyx eyes glint with happiness." You mean the kids who are super excited they'll meet their daddy soon? Sure, we would go pick them up.“ A tense silence falls on us, my words may had come out harsher than I intended because she takes a glance at me, apology written all o

Andera's pov I walk slowly into the building, ignoring the trepidation crawling in my stomach. The talk with Rosa left me somewhat drained emotionally, it was like reopening an old wound.The meeting is going to be quick and short,that's a relief. I don't know how I would have made it an hour or two alone with Thane without loosing my wits.A sigh leaves my lips."Breathe in Andera. You can't flare up, you can not mess this up. you would get what you want soon enough. " I muttered.Stepping into the meeting room, I'm greeted by the scent of Thane's signature cologne. My eyes shut close impulsively as I drink in that all too familiar scent. The scent of sandalwood, of Thane.Memories start rushing into my mind, and my face heats up, memories I had long buried. I forced the unwanted thoughts away.When I open my eyes, Thane is watching me intently, his brooding gray eyes scanning over me, slowly, from my legs up to my face.I shudder involuntarily. When his gaze meets mine, he inhales

Melissa's pov.I flopped down on the plush couch, kicking my shoes off while letting out a satisfied sigh. It's been another day of my shopping spree and I feel like the queen that I am. I mean, who needs a man when you've got his black card with unlimited spending power? And let's be real, Thane's card was the perfect way to stick it to him after he so callously postponed our wedding without even bothering to tell me. Ten days had passed since I'd left Thane, and he hadn't even bothered to come back. But that is okay because I am doing just fine without him. In fact, I'm thriving.I pulled out my phone and dialed my flight attendant, instructing her to book me a first-class ticket to London. I wasn't bluffing when I said I have options, many of them would take me in a heartbeat. After all, I'm Melissa. I'm a catch. I'm gorgeous and intelligent, and I've got a closet full of designer clothes. I don't need Thane and his confusion in my life. Sebastian- one of Thane's competitors, has

Thanes pov. Andera's sudden reappearance has sent my life in disarray. My relationship with Melissa is strained, threatening to fall apart, and our wedding is on hold. Yet, despite all this commotion right now, my mind remains fixated on one person: Andera.I know I shouldn't, but I find myself staring at her pictures more often than I care to admit. I pick up my phone, and for the umpteenth time today, I'm going through Andera's photos, the ones I had managed to save before she blocked me. I have scrutinized them so much that I can tell every detail of it, from the brightness of her hazel eyes to the soft swell of her breasts. Feeling her slamming into me nearly made me lose my control. I can still feel that delicious softness coming in contact with me, that wasn't my intention, but I'm not sorry it happened; I was just too angry that she was walking out on me.God. This is madness!Everything with Andrea has me going ruckus. First, I want to make up for not taking proper care of h

Andera's pov.The chauffeur drives me to the kid's preschool. Rosa is still held up at the company with the health inspectors and while I want to join her there, I have to pick up Timmy and Tiffany.I'm already running late, and my kids would be waiting; I would have made it earlier on time if it hadn't been for Thane. My mind drifts back to minutes ago when he slammed me into his chest and also pinned me against the wall; my blood boils at the thought, and I want nothing more than to kick him in the balls.What is the next step to my revenge again? I check my notepad. Identify weak points. Right. I would have achieved that today if our meeting had played out right.God, Thane is such a piece of work.I step out of the car, and into the school; children run around, playing and laughing as I search for mine." Mommy! " I would recognize that voice anywhere. Timmy, my little man. He runs towards me, almost tripping in the process, and I bring my hand to my mouth in relief. I catch him

Thanes pov.I know she's back the moment my eyes land on her parked car. My first response is to groan out loud; I didn't expect her so soon, actually, I wasn't hoping to see Melissa at all, and if I were to be honest with myself, I am fine with that.Walking into my mansion, I could feel the tension in the air; the staff exchanged hushed whispers and glances between themselves, stopping to greet me when they realized my presence. I climb the stairs and towards my room; the ten days Melissa had been away have been peaceful and quiet, a stark contrast to the unsettling atmosphere that she emanates. I find her in our bedroom, unpacking her bags and humming to a song. The urge to be anywhere else but here wrapped around me tightly, sinking deep into my skin, but I forced myself to stay just so I could know what Melissa was up to when she made it clear she had other 'options'" What are you doing? " I asked, poker-faced.Okay, I know what she's doing; what I want to ask her is, what the

Andera's pov"Father." I gasped. Before I could blink twice and process his sudden arrival, he swept me into a tight, crushing hug."Andera, my child. " He whispered as he squeezed me closer to himself."I cannot wrap my head around why you chose to keep this from me." His voice was laden with a mix of relief and reprimand. "You don't know how worried I was when Officer Jerkins told me about the situation. I had my pilot fly me here the moment I hung up my phone" " Father. " I whispered again, Clinging to him tightly as tears prickled at the corner of my eyes. This feeling of being loved and cared for. I don't think there was any getting used to it. My father had shown me so much unwavering devotion."I didn't want to bother you." My voice cracked as I explained. "I know how demanding your schedule is and I didn't want to add to your worries."He let out a bitter laugh." Worries?". He repeated. "My child. You mean the world to me." He pulled back, resting his hands on my shoulders

Andera's povNumber 47. I should hate Thane for how he stood back and watched as Melissa made me hand wash her clothes.Number 48. I should hate Thane because of how he stood me up when I asked him to lunch on our first marriage anniversary Number 49. ... I dropped my pen on the desk. My mind had suddenly gone blank. That was strange, the last time I did this; writing all the reasons why I should hate Thane. I could have sworn I had written nearly five hundred reasons. Now I'm stuck at forty-eight. My alarm goes off. It's already nine o'clock. Time to meet with the officer who had caught those men. A cold shiver ran down my spine.When I returned in the early hours of the morning, I had filled in Rosa on all that happened, though I left out what transpired between me and Thane.Rosa wept for me as I narrated everything; I cried, too, quietly so as not to wake the kids. She was there to support me emotionally, Rosa had stayed up till I drifted to sleep. She had mentioned something a

Thane's pov.Three empty bottles of whiskey lay beside me. I groaned, wincing as I tried to open my eyes, but the sunlight that seeped in through the open window assaulted my senses. I raised a hand to my face to shield myself from the harsh rays.It took a minute for me to realize what room I had passed out in.My living room, where all the staff's could have seen me wasted. After seeing Andera leave with only one bodyguard, I was still apprehensive, but knowing that her kidnappers were in police custody, my tension eased a bit. I could vaguely remember anything that happened when I returned home in the early hours of this morning, save for Melissa's incessant yelling and me drinking whiskey, formulating my plan to get Andera back.I must have drank too much.The station, our statement. Fuck I was supposed to be there with Andera. I glanced at the grand pendulum clock; it was already eleven in the morning. I was supposed to be at the police station two hours ago.I cursed my luck

Andera's povI hated Thane. I have never had so much hatred for one person. I hated him for what he did to me seven years ago, for believing I would stoop so low and steal from him, my husband. Nothing could quench that angerBut yet, here we are, lips crashing into one another's. Just like on our first night.They say there is a thin line between love and hate. If that's true, then I am balancing precariously on that line. I know I will never love Thane, not like I used to, but tonight, just for tonight, I'll risk it. I will put one foot on the other side of that line.I parted my lips for him, allowing Thane to deepen the kiss. We could have tonight, this frenzied moment of reckless abandon, not caring if were divorced, business partners or not.Come morning, I will go back to hating Thane, to orchestrating his ruin. Tonight, I break my rules.Thane groaned, pulling my head closer. Using his tongue to tease me, making me crave more of him.I knew any of the nurses could walk in an

Thanes pov.The jeep hurtled towards me. Closer, faster. I shut my eyes closed as the Jeep's blinding headlights pierced through my windshield.I braced myself for what was to come, only it didn't come. When I opened my eyes. The jeep had stopped mere inches away from my car. Like a miracle.I couldn't bring myself to sigh in relief yet, not when Andera was still inside that car with God knows who. Despite the cool night air, sweat tricked from my forehead down to my chin. I could hear my heavy breathing in my car. A tense minute of stillness passes.I fight back the urge to confront the Abductor. Confronting him might not be the best option, especially since I didn't know if he was armed. It was all I could think about to stop me from storming out of my car. The cops should be here anytime soon now. I can't see through the front tinted glass on the jeep but I know that Andera is in there.In a flash, the back door to the jeep opens, and Andera falls to the hard ground with a lou

Thane's pov There are so many things I want to do to her and with her. At this point, it would be useless to deny it. I want Andera, scratch that, I need her, or I might just explode. I don't know how much longer till my frayed restraint completely washes away. Andera just left me and Grace with our mouths open in awe, and dammit, she made me breathless.Again, I ask myself, how is this even possible? This is the same woman I spent my life ignoring, both when she was under my family's care and when she became my wife.They say change is constant, and yes, Andera has changed, but is it usually this drastic and overwhelming? " Are you listening, Thane? " The blonde lady says to me. She has been talking non-stop of things I don't want to hear. I didn't even know why, and when she approached me, I was too focused, gawking at Andera as she took small sips of her drink. I should pay close attention to Andera; being drunk at a party like this, in a sea of men, would do more harm than good

Andera's pov.I swallowed hard, my heart skipping a bit while Thane held my second wrist.I knew Thane well enough to recognize that menacing look in his eyes, and a shiver ran down my spine. " She isn't going anywhere, we came together, we will leave together. Perish any thoughts you're conjuring Grace. It won't work. " He maintained. If it were any other person on the receiving end of Thane's subtle threatening statement, they would have fled, but this is Grace. She was there since his childhood. The woman is like a big aunty to him.Grace clicked her teeth, frowning in disapproval."I will not let this beautiful woman here-" she gestured at me "- to waste a fine evening as this. " Challenge flickered in her jade eyes, she tugged me closer again."Grace, let her go. " Thane answered calmly, too calmly to be anything but frightening.He tugged me closer, and Grace pulled me towards herself. That was how I found myself sandwiched in between their bickering. Thane's eyes narrowed w

Andera's pov.Thane's hand rested on the back of my neck, and a jolt of electricity ran through my veins. I wondered if he felt me stiffen under his touch. I can't believe my own body is betraying me like this.I wanted to hate him, but yet I relished the feel of his fingers on my skin, yearning for his touch. Perhaps it was because Thane was the only man my boys has ever known. He was familiar with my body, knowing exactly how to weaken my knees, to make me moan with maddening ecstasy, leaving me on the brink of exhaustion with pleasure.There are things...feelings a woman cannot forget.I was ashamed to admit it to myself, but I had been having some..cravings, I wanted to be touched and by someone who knew how. Despite the pain Thane caused me five years ago, I was still a woman with needs and desires that refused to be silenced, regardless of how much I helped myself.With his thumb, Thane drew lazy circles at the back of my neck. Sending tingles down to my core, his thumb wasn't

Thanes pov. It's today.The Scale-up soiree. The day I defy Andera's rejection and show up at her doorstep.You could say I'm losing my mind.I slip into one of my finest Ralph Lauren suits, gray colored, a lighter shade than my eyes. My hair is brushed back in a sleek way, and a confident smirk stretches on my face as I look at myself in the mirror. Tonight, I'm not just dressing to impress – I'm on a mission to capture the attention of one woman. I spray on my signature sandalwood cologne, the same scent Andera has always loved. Tonight, I was determined to make a statement, and I know whom I want to impress.Now, with my look perfected, I've got one final move. The trick up my sleeve.A luxurious limousine awaits, ready to collect the woman who has no idea she's going to be mine for the night.I know Andera said she would not be going to this business conference with me, and I'm also aware that I may be overstepping boundaries here, but yet, my stubbornness refuses. Andera is m
