Killian couldn’t fathom that one day he would transfer his property to someone else, much less to a girl. This mansion had been a legacy, first in his grandfather’s name, then transferred to Elijah when he became the leader, and finally shifted to Killian on the day he ascended as the next leader of the Suvillians. It was meant to be named after his child, not the woman carrying his child. He had broken their family tradition, but did he have any regrets?No. He could never. How could he regret it when the woman owning his mansion was his wife, his Amara, his mi amor? If she asked, he would transfer all his property to her if it made her feel at home. She had become his home, and how could his home feel homeless? But then she said something that made him feel ashamed to face himself in the mirror.“Remember you called me an orphan?”“Orphans don’t have any home.” Her voice cut through him, and he clenched his jaw. Her words echoed in his mind like a broken tune, the pain in her voic
Amara was stunned, her mind struggling to process his words. For a moment, it felt surreal, as if she were dreaming. This wasn’t the Killian she knew, the monster whose cruelty she had endured. Her face turned emotionless, her eyes devoid of any light. Without a word, she unlocked the door and stepped out of the car.Killian, left waiting for her answer, frowned and quickly followed suit. Amara guided Lucas out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the complex. Killian was right behind them, his footsteps heavy with determination. He reached out, grabbing Amara's hand, and turned her around to face him, her hand landing firmly on his chest. Her eyes widened, and she instinctively tried to free her hand from his unyielding grip. The people around them watched with shock , recognizing Killian instantly. "Let me go," she hissed, her voice strained. "People are watching."He tightened his grip, not enough to hurt but enough to convey that he wasn’t letting go. "You didn’t answer
Killian stepped into the desolate field, where the bodies of countless souls lay buried beneath the earth. He wasn't entirely sure why he had come here, drawn to this place after the events of earlier. After dropping Amara and Lucas at the mansion, his instincts had led him straight to this forsaken graveyard. The evening had passed, and the shadows of darkness were beginning to consume everything in its reach. His feet moved on their own, leading him in a particular direction. Before he knew it, he was standing in front of an old gravestone. He stared at it with empty eyes, his hands buried deep in his pockets. Its surface was covered in soil and grime, obscuring the name inscribed on it. He knelt slowly, his movements deliberate as he reached out and began to brush the soil from the gravestone. The name gradually came into view: Liliana Suvillian. A sigh escaped his lips. "It’s been a long time, Madre." He traced her name with his thumb, the emptiness in his eyes began to fade, re
Killian’s grip tightened around the gun, his knuckles turning white as the urge for bloodshed surged within him.One month.An entire month had passed since Derek slipped through his fingers, and still, there was no sign of him. It made his blood boil. That bastard never should have escaped in the first place, and if he did, he should’ve been caught the second he tried to pull that stunt. It was a disgrace, a defeat stamped onto his very existence, a humiliation that the leader of the Suvillians couldn’t capture him. Derek was out there somewhere, hiding like a coward, probably laughing at the fool he’d made of Killian. He must be fucking proud—assaulting his wife and then slipping away right under his nose. His men should never have let it happen. If they had been vigilant, if they hadn’t been so pathetically negligent, Derek wouldn’t have succeeded. But they failed. And that failure cost Killian more than just his pride. Derek was still out there, unharmed, without a single trace l
The video played, ever so cruelly, ever so painfully, its brutality unfolding in agonising detail. The men’s savagery was laid bare before her eyes, exposing the creatures they truly were. They ravaged her helpless body, feasting on her as if she weren’t human. Amara's lips quivered, unable to form words, unable to process the horrors before her. They were touching her, abusing her flesh with a cruel smile on their faces. Her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, her vision blurring as her trembling hands clutched the camera.And then, she cried.She cried until her eyes burned, until her entire body convulsed with the sheer force of her sobs. She was violated without mercy, even while she was unconscious, with no sense of reality, as they turned her world into a horrifying nightmare. They stripped her of her dignity, again and again, pouncing on her inhumanly. Her chest tightened, the pain so suffocating it stole her breath. A horrible pain seized her heart, and the camera slipped from

The words slammed into him, draining the life from his veins, as if he were being forced to endure an agony that physically hurt him.His heart clenched in pain at the thought of life without Amara. A life without her would hollow him out, leaving him nothing more than a walking corpse, soulless and dead inside. He needed her to be alive so he could breathe and live. How could he possibly let her go when she was the only reason his cold heart was beating? In that moment, it hit him like a storm, deadly and powerful. He loves Amara. Because if being terrified of a life where she wasn’t alive isn't love, then he didn’t know what love was. How had he not seen it before? His heart had been screaming it all along. Amara was everything love could be—soft, caring, pure, a light that had bro
"Amara, you are going to leave tomorrow. Have you packed everything?"The old lady, Marry, asked her. She was the caretaker of the orphanage and had seen Amara growing up from a toddler into a teenager and now soon into an adult. "I have packed everything mother." Amara chripped excitedly. She is an orphan who was left on the doorsteps of this orphanage when she was barely a few months old. It was a rainy night and since then she hates rain and night. The harshness of rain and darkness of night scares her. It makes her feel all alone in the world. Her life has grown inside this orphanage and tomorrow she is going to leave it. She has been selected in one of the reputed and top colleges to pursue her bachelor's degree in Bachelor of Business Administration. All her hard work and efforts have paid off as she got selected for her dream college. "Stop smiling like a fool!" Marry snapped at her. "And don't call me Mother! I am not your goddamned mother." She hissed at her. Amara's smi
Amara had her backpack and a rolling suitcase ready. She is leaving for the train station as she is going from the train to her destination. Marry had managed to book a local ticket for her from her own money and it helped her to save the money for future use. "Amara, you will become a city girl now!" A five year old Lucas said squealing. Amara giggled and picked him in her arms. He has become quite heavy and big now because of his growing age. She remembers the day clearly when he too was left near the orphanage one night when he was one and half years old. Since she has taken care of him and felt an unknown connection to him. "No silly. I will still be this orphanage's girl even when I go to the city." She said and bumped her nose with his playfully. "You promise to bring toys for me when you come back?" He asked, looking at her with wide hopefully eyes. "I promise" She smiled at how his eyes twinkled. "But don't bring toys for others!" He ordered in his childish voice. "And
