“I’ll consider it,” I said, leaning back in my chair, my fingers tapping against the wood. “But we’ll discuss my conditions later.”The president studied me for a moment before nodding. “Understood. I’ll wait for your decision.”With that, the meeting was over.I stood up and made my way toward my car. I thought of her. Bella.She seemed tense when I dropped her off.As I slid into the driver’s seat, my phone buzzed with a new notification.I expected a message from her. Instead it was from an unknown number.It was a video and beneath it, a single caption:"She’ll always be my slut."I pressed play anyway.I recognized the space almost instantly—a hotel room.And then—Bella.My Bella was with him.Julius had his hands on her waist, his body too close, his lips moving over hers like he had every fucking right.At first, she seemed to resist. Her hands came up against his chest, like she was trying to push him off. But then—She stopped.She let it happen.Just for a second. Just lo

I didn’t let go.Instead, I kissed her.Hard.Bella gasped against my lips, but I didn’t give her a chance to protest. My hands gripped her waist, pushing her back onto the bed.She was already flushed from what she’d been doing earlier, her skin warm beneath my fingertips, her breath uneven.I should have stopped.I should have listened to her.But I couldn’t. No, I didn’t want to."Jesse, don’t," she whispered, trying to push against my chest.I didn’t budge. My weight kept her pinned beneath me, my hands caging her in."Why?" I murmured darkly. "Would you prefer him touching you instead?"Her eyes widened. "What?! No—""Then why, Bella?" I leaned in, my lips brushing over the tip of her ear. "Why did you let him kiss you?"She shivered beneath me. "It wasn’t like that—""Do you think I wasn’t hurt?" My voice dropped lower, more dangerous. "You think it didn’t kill me seeing you kiss another man?"Her lips parted, but I didn’t let her speak."Aren’t you supposed to belong to me and

Bella’s povI was trembling with rage as I drove to Julius’s office, the humiliation burning deep within me. Jesse didn’t even care to hear me out. He just did whatever he wanted and told me to leave. I felt so much pain. Whatever Julius wanted to achieve, he had gotten it. As I pulled into the parking lot of his office building, I felt the knot in my stomach tighten. I didn’t even know if he’d be there, but that didn’t matter. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind. It felt like the only thing I could do right now that would help me retain my sanity. I stormed into the building with one thing in mind: Julius. I didn’t need to ask for directions; I knew exactly where his office was located. I had spent so many hours there during our marriage, waiting for him to acknowledge me, to care for me in the way that I needed, that I could almost walk to it with my eyes closed. The walk down the sleek, glass-lined corridor seemed to stretch endlessly, but I didn’t care. No one stopped m

All of a sudden athena fell to the floor, letting out a sharp gasp. For a moment, I stood confused, staring down at her wide, tear-filled eyes. "What did you just do, Bella?"Julius’s voice came from behind me, sharp and accusing. I turned and saw him striding toward us, his face twisted in irritation."Bella, why did you push her?"I let out a laugh, shaking my head. "Oh, here we go again. A perfect little performance.”His jaw clenched. "Answer me.""Answer you?" I scoffed, gesturing to Athena, who was now holding her leg as if it had been broken in three places. "Just like before, Julius. You don’t even hesitate. You believe her without hearing a single word from me."Athena let out a small whimper, her face contorted in pain. "Julius, please," she murmured weakly, reaching for him like a helpless child. "Help me…"And he did.He rushed to her side, his strong hands gently supporting her as he helped her sit up. The sight of it sent a fresh wave of rage rolling through me, not ju

Julius pov I carried Athena to the office and laid her on the couch after Bella had stormed out. Athena sat on the couch, still holding her leg, though I noticed she wasn’t crying or complaining about pain anymore. The moment Bella was gone, she told me it didn’t hurt so much and it’ll only take a few more minutes for it to feel better. Bella’s words kept on echoing in my head.You believe her. Again.Without hearing what I have to say. Those words kept on reminding me of what had happened three years ago It shouldn’t have bothered me.And yet… it did.Why?"Athena," I said slowly.She looked up at me, eyes wide and filled with innocence."You’re a hundred percent sure that she pushed you right?" Her lips parted slightly as if she were shocked I even asked. "Julius… are you doubting me?"I didn’t answer immediately.Instead, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed a number."Get me the security footage from outside my office," I ordered.Athena stiffened."Julius," she said

I didn’t know how long I cried for. I wasn’t even sure if I was crying out of frustration, sadness, or just sheer exhaustion. All I knew was that Jesse held me close, his arms wrapped protectively around me and I needed that much. I didn’t know how long we stayed like that. Minutes? Hours? Eventually, Jesse carefully lifted me into his arms. I felt weightless, exhausted, and too drained to protest."Come on," he murmured, his voice softer than I had ever heard it. "Let’s get you home."I didn’t respond, just buried my face against his chest as he carried me out of the building. The cool air brushed against my skin. I was too lost in my own thoughts, too numb to care about anything else.He reached his car, and instead of placing me in the passenger seat, he slid into the back with me still in his arms. "Drive us home, then you john, take her car home." he instructed one of his men, who nodded without question before getting into the car.By the time we arrived at his house, Jesse d

Soon, there was a knock at the door.“Come in,” Jesse ordered without taking his eyes off me.The door opened and two of his men walked in, each carrying a tray loaded with food. I sat up slightly on the bed as they approached, blinking in surprise when I realized they weren’t just carrying one tray, but two.I raised a brow. “Wait… two trays?”Jesse leaned back in the chair beside the bed, looking far too pleased with himself.I blinked again, then laughed. “Jesse! Just how much do you think I’m going to eat?”He shrugged, utterly unapologetic. “I want you to eat as much as possible. You haven’t been taking care of yourself lately.”“Hmph,” I muttered playfully, folding my arms.I knew I was being a little dramatic, a little childish, but I didn’t care. Around him, I felt like I could let go—no need for walls or composure. I felt light. Safe. Free.After setting the trays on the table, his men gave Jesse a respectful nod and quickly left the room, shutting the door behind them with a

Athena clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she stormed out of Julius’s office. Her face burned with humiliation, but the anger rising inside her burned hotter.“How dare he speak to me like that?” she hissed under her breath, heels clicking furiously against the marble floors. “Why is he investigating it now?”She reached the end of the corridor, then turned sharply, pacing like a caged animal. Her mind raced.Bella… That bitch.Athena’s lips curled into a sneer. “She did it on purpose. I know it.”She hadn’t expected Julius to double back and check the surveillance. Not this late. Not when things had seemed so… quiet.“I didn’t even get a chance to erase the damn footage,” she muttered, running her hands through her hair in frustration. He’s getting suspicious. That little stunt she pulled—getting him to look into things—she’s smarter than I gave her credit for.But Athena wasn’t going to lose.Her eyes narrowed coldly as she stopped pacing, her mind working rapid

Jesse didn’t wait.He didn’t have time.He stood tall, voice cutting through the confusion like a sword:"You were lied to," he said..""Anna drugged me. Stole my memories. Tried to turn me into a pawn."Gasps.Shouts."But I remember now," Jesse said, voice rising."I remember everything."He looked at each of them in turn, letting them see it."Bella saved me," he said.Jesse swallowed hard.Emotion strangled him for a moment.But there was no time for sentiment now.He pointed toward the battlefield beyond the walls."Anna’s forces are tearing Dominion apart," he barked."We have to join the battle and subdue Anna"A roar answered him."To the gates!" Jesse bellowed.And they moved—like a storm unleashed.The eastern gate flew open.Jesse led his forces through it, armor gleaming under the sun, sword blazing in his hand.Dominion's soldiers—nearly overwhelmed—saw him charge into the fray and rallied like men rising from the dead.Bella—fighting atop the crumbling battlements—turned

Bella drew her own sword then—long, silver-edged, a gift from her late father.It gleamed in her hand like a promise.She turned to Kael."Stay at the walls," she said. "Command from here."Kael frowned, catching the dangerous light in her eyes."My lady—""I'm going down there."She didn’t give him a chance to argue.She descended the inner stairs two at a time, the battle raging louder with every step, until she burst into the courtyard where fresh soldiers were rushing to reinforce the lines.They parted instinctively as she passed—eyes wide, faces awed.Bella didn’t stop.She charged through the outer gate just as another battering ram crashed uselessly against the thick stone, and then she was in the heart of it.Sword raised.The first enemy soldier lunged toward her.Bella sidestepped easily, driving her blade into his ribs with clean precision.Another swung a heavy axe at her head.She ducked low, slicing across his knee, sending him crumpling to the dirt.Her training kick

She met Marcus’s hard gaze head-on."Stand aside when Anna attacks. Protect Jesse if he’s targeted. That’s all.""And what about Anna?" someone called from the back.Bella’s smile was cold and sharp."I’ll handle her."Marcus was silent for a long moment.The entire clearing seemed to hold its breath.Finally—he nodded once.Hard."If Jesse fights for you," he said,"Then so will we."Bella's breath caught.Not relief.Not yet.There would be no real relief until Jesse stood beside her, whole again.But it was something."Swear it," she said quietly.Marcus drew his sword.Pointed it to the sky."I swear it," he said.One by one, the soldiers behind him echoed the oath—hands raised, fists pounding against chests.Bella closed her eyes for half a second. Dominion would not fall today.Kael stepped closer."My lady," he said urgently,"we must return. Anna's forces will reach the outer walls within the hour."Bella nodded.She gave Marcus one last hard look."Stay true," she said."Or

She glanced to her left where Rovan rode beside her, his horse’s breath steaming in the frozen air."The eastern watchposts have fallen?" she asked calmly.Rovan nodded."Yes, my lady. Minimal casualties. Dominion forces are stretched thin defending the outlying trade routes, just as you predicted."Anna smiled faintly.Bella thought she was clever—moving silently, rebuilding her little empire in the shadows.But she had grown soft.Love. Loyalty. Sentiment.All the weaknesses Anna had carved out of herself years ago.Bella had them in abundance.And Anna would use every one of them to crush her.The estate was visible now in the distance.Even from here, its silver towers and iron gates gleamed under the pale moonlight like a fortress carved from a dream.Anna narrowed her eyes.Soon, it would be hers.She raised her hand, signaling a halt.The army stopped instantly—trained, disciplined.She turned in the saddle to face them, her voice cutting through the cold air like a blade."Ton

And soon—she would pay for it with everything she loved.Anna stood above the valley cliffs, her black-gloved hands gripping the stone railing as she watched her forces disappear into the misty hills.Her smile was razor-sharp now.Because the truth was—This was never about Jesse alone.No.This was about Dominion.About power.About taking everything Bella had rebuilt after her fall — and grinding it beneath Anna’s heel.She wanted Dominion for herself.The empire.The resources.The power it held over every shadowed trade route and underworld contract on the continent.Jesse had just been the bait.The excuse.And Bella, foolish in her sentimentality, had handed her the perfect justification by kidnapping him.Anna turned to Rovan, her second-in-command."We won’t just retrieve Jesse," she said, her voice smooth and deadly."We’ll seize Dominion itself."Rovan’s brows furrowed slightly. "But my lady, Dominion’s forces—""Will be fractured," Anna interrupted coolly. "Once the borde

Small at first.Barely noticeable.Then it grew worse.His entire body tensed, muscles locking, breaths becoming shallow and fast like he was fighting something.His hands gripped the blanket tightly, knuckles white.I sat up immediately."Jesse," I whispered, reaching out to touch his arm.He flinched violently at the contact, a sharp cry tearing from his throat—a sound so broken, so full of fear, it shattered something inside me.He wasn’t awake.Not fully.He was trapped somewhere deep inside himself."Jesse," I said again, firmer this time. "It's me. Bella. You're safe."He thrashed once, fists clenching like he was trying to fight invisible enemies.Sweat beaded on his forehead.I caught his wrists carefully, not restraining him, just anchoring him to something real."Shh..." I whispered, leaning closer. "You're safe. No one’s hurting you. I'm here."Slowly, his breathing hitched—sharp, jagged gasps breaking through the fog.His eyes snapped open, wild, unfocused.He looked right

I brought him his tea, just like every other morning since he returned.But this time, when I placed it in his hands, he didn’t immediately drink it.He just... stared at me.Longer than usual.Long enough that the hairs on my arms prickled.Like he was trying to see something inside me.Something he couldn't quite remember.I sat beside him, keeping a careful distance.“How are you feeling?” I asked gently.He tilted his head slightly, confusion flickering across his face.“I feel like... I should know you,” he said finally, his voice rough from sleep and something deeper.My throat tightened.“You do,” I whispered. “You will.”He frowned, as if struggling inside his own mind.“I keep seeing... flashes. A hand reaching for mine. Laughter. A... necklace?”He pressed his fingers to his temple, frustrated.“It’s all broken. Like... like pieces of glass.”I reached out slowly, letting my hand rest lightly over his.“You're remembering,” I said, voice trembling with hope. “Even if it’s sm

His eyes locked on mine.No memories.But something shone there.He stepped closer, holding the tiny flower out to me.“You’re beautiful,” he said softly. “Just like this.”My throat tightened painfully.Tears pricked the corners of my eyes.I took the flower carefully, cradling it between my fingers like it was the most precious thing I’d ever been given.“Thank you, Jesse,” I whispered.He smiled.Really smiled.For the first time since I brought him back.Jesse’s smile.The one I’d fallen in love with once before.The one I was falling for all over again.We spent the rest of the afternoon in the gardens.I told him small, harmless things—stories about the flowers, about the diffMarcust statues scattered around the estate.He listened closely, his attention sharp whenever I spoke.At one point, he reached out and brushed a leaf from my hair, his fingers lingering near my cheek longer than necessary.He didn’t understand why he wanted to touch me.Didn’t remember.But he still did.

Down the maintenance shaft.Through the hidden door.Into the cold breath of the night.We made it to the transport just as the first alarm howled through the estate.I shoved Jesse inside, climbed in after him, and Kael slammed the door shut.The vehicle peeled into the tunnels like a bullet, shields cloaking us from heat sensors.Behind us, the estate lit up with searchlights and shouting guards.Too late.I held Jesse close against me as we sped away.His breathing was shallow.His body stiff.But he was here.Alive.Mine again.I looked down at him—this man who had fought so many battles for me without ever asking for anything back.And I whispered the words I should have said a long time ago.“I’m never letting you go again.”We made it back to Dominion just before sunrise.The sky was still dark, bleeding into deep violet as we pulled through the hidden tunnels beneath the estate.Kael handled the security re-entry codes.Justin coordinated the sweeps to make sure no foreign tra
