EMMA'S POV~The sound of my phone vibrating stirred me from my sleep. My eyes snapped open and then widened. I jumped out of bed hurriedly and instantly went to retrieve my phone from the sofa where I had left it.There were already 22 missed calls, which made my heart skip a beat. Unlocking it, I saw an unknown number, which made my teeth clench.A new message popped up, and when I clicked it open, it read: "We're ready, send her in."My heart skipped a beat, and I found myself rushing around the room to wash my face and brush my teeth. As soon as I was done, I made my way to Keagan's room and softly knocked.The door clicked open after just two knocks, surprising me that he was awake. "Good morning, Darling," I said, putting on my fake meek expression.He grunted in response before leaving the door open—a cue for me to enter his room.My eyes darted around the room, and I nervously bit my lip before gathering the courage to speak. "Babe, I need a favor." My voice came out in a soft,
JESSICA'S POV ~"Don't you think she looks irresistible? I'd like to see how she tastes. Can I touch her just a little?" I heard one of my kidnappers ask, which turned my heart cold with dread.No! I could feel my body shaking as I lay on the cold tiles, the pain and fear gripping my soul as I pretended to sleep. It had been two hours since they had hit and tortured me at Emma's command. They had left me with a broken right foot and busied themselves playing chess.My stomach curled in disgust at the thought of these horrible men touching me. I tried to stay still, despite the whimper that nearly escaped my lips.The one who appeared to be their boss growled, "Just shut the fuck up! I've told you I need that money to flee this country. We're following her orders, and you asshole better not ruin my plan."The entire place fell silent the next second as we all heard the sound of footsteps and a buzzing noise. Many thoughts began to swirl in my head.Was it Keagan? Had he realized I was
(Jessica’s P.O.V)The next challenge was figuring out how to open this door without alerting the men.Desperately searching for something to pry the door open, I found the area to be meticulously clean, with nothing useful on the ground. The dust irritated my nostrils, causing me to sneeze. I attempted to stifle another sneeze when I saw the little boy approach the door and open it with ease.Ah!He gestured towards the open door, signaling for me to escape. I nodded in gratitude.My feet began pounding against the cement floor before my brain even gave the signal., Slowing a bit, I glanced back at the boy, to see if i could convince him with a pleading look. But to my surprise, he was following me. I grinned at him and gestured for him to quicken his steps. He did.Seeing as I was so close to the big gates possibly heading out of the hellhole, my grinned widened and tears of joy stung my eyes. Finally, I would go to Keagan and tell him everything that had happened.However, the smile
EMMA'S POV~Eight months had passed, and I still found myself struggling to reconnect with Keagan and his family. He often stayed away from home, and I couldn't help but panic, terrified that he might find another woman who was willing to bear his children.I felt my life unraveling out of my control, and many days, I feared I couldn't hold on any longer. In the months following Jessica's abduction, I had worked diligently to tarnish her reputation. I faked an attack, and Keagan, believing my lies, had taken me to the hospital. I told him that Jessica had found me and beaten me up with the help of some men, and that I had been lucky enough to dial his number before managing to escape.Since that day, I had watched Keagan call Jessica incessantly, oblivious to the fact that I was the one who had abducted her. I observed her suffering with glee, just as she deserved. After all, I should be the Luna – not her, a lowly omega!That night, I eavesdropped on Sofia and learned that Keagan had
JESSICA'S POV ~ "What do you mean they're twins?" I heard Emma ask. My eyes, which I'd squeezed shut in hopes of blocking out the blinding pain, instantly snapped open and widened. I blinked and blinked again, yet it was so real that my heart cinched tight in terror. I had been pregnant with two babies! Two babies! My lips quivered as I tried to speak, to beg Emma to let my babies live, but no words but a broken whimper left my throat. My eyes burned hotly as the realization of my situation dawned on me. I couldn't lift a single fucking finger. The world began spinning around me in a dizzying blur, and darkness threatened to consume me. I was so numb from the pain that my limbs weren't listening to the pleading from my brain. I needed to get up and fight. But my lips kept mouthing silent words, unheard and lost in the chaos around me. My spirit crumbled, and salty rivulets carved a path down my face as if my soul itself was weeping. 'Help me.' Anyone. Please. Help Me. Through my b
JESSICA'S POV ~An eerie silence seemed to spread through the air as if even the wind itself feared disturbing the dreadful stillness. The only sound audible was the steady ticking of a clock, each tick causing my ears to twitch. No matter how hard I tried to move my body, I felt as heavy as lead and struggled to awaken. My eyes refused to flutter open, so I resigned myself to lying on the bed, counting to ten before attempting again.A chill slowly ran down my spine when I started to hear voices, making me realize I wasn't alone. My breath slowed as I focused on the sounds around me.Someone was sobbing nearby. I couldn't immediately turn to see who it was because my body ached and was pretty much lifeless. But goddess, I was utterly curious about what was happening.I tightened my eyes and listened in again. It was a woman's voice, and she sounded utterly anguished."I'm dying, Patrick," she cried. "I can't do this anymore. How can I live without our daughter? We had so many plans
JESSICA'S POV ~"I. Said. I'm. Not. Sylvia!" I repeated through gritted teeth. The couple stared at me as if I were insane.Maybe I was indeed losing my mind! As I struggled to piece everything together, a vivid memory suddenly resurfaced.I gasped, recalling the babies that had been stolen from me. My hands flew to my middle and a scream ripped out of my lips. Pain. So much pain. It felt like the surgical blades were slicing through my underbelly once again.Shivering, I begged my brain to pull me out of the past. When the pain eased, I blinked my eyes back up.Where are they? Despite the pain shooting through my body, I leaped from the bed. The couple quickly surrounded me, their expressions shocked, preventing me from reaching the door."Oh my goodness! Child, have you lost your mind? Where are you going?" Lydia asked, reaching for my arm. I quickly pushed her hand away."Where are my babies?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, hardly recognizing the shrill, loud, and cold voice a
Five years later.JESSICA'S POV ~Gazing through the tinted windows of the black SUV, I observed the passing scenery through the dark shades and a hoodie that concealed my features. FIVE good long years had gone by, since I discovered that I had transmigrated into the body of a young girl who had committed suicide.Her parents had briefed me on the cause of her death, explaining how her sex tapes had been leaked. Unable to bear the blow and criticism from the internet, she had ended her life. Sylvia had been a famous A-list model, known by everyone in the country. I still couldn't believe I was now in her body.I felt a mix of emotions—weird, uncomfortable, yet somehow at peace. Why? Because I was going to kill two birds with one stone. Sylvia came from a strong wealthy background, providing me with the resources I needed to seek my revenge.What more could I ask for?"Miss, should we park here or continue?" my driver asked, interrupting my thoughts. I turned to face him, then glance
Hi guys! I'm so sorry! I was checking the book file on G****e doc and realized I skipped a chapter between chapter ninety seven and ninety eight! ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽ Because of how crazy the deletion would be, I decided to upload the missing chapter in this note (I.e for free.) It would mean the world if you could go back to read chapter ninety seven for a quick refresh and then read the original chapter ninety eight in this note so the progression of events won't be confusing. I'm so sorry!ಥ_ಥ MISSED CHAPTER Jessica’s P.O.V –I am leaving Rosario for a week. Sry for making you wait last night. I read that text for what seemed to be hundredth time, the familiar knot in my stomach tightening. That same one that had been there since he stood me up at dinner three nights ago. It made zero sense. How he just up and left. Ryder hadn’t even shown up for his shoots, according to his manager. But in the grand scheme of things, I probably shouldn’t be worried. Ryder was fine or he wou
Keagan’s P.O.VA mistake but a necessary one. I gave you want in return for you to find Ryder. So you will find him for me…The words would be stuck in my head for days and I really wasn’t concerned about it. What bugged me was how they coiled tight around my heart, choking me of my next breath until it hurt to take in oxygen. Of course, she thought I was a mistake. It was expected. I’ve only caused her hurt. I knew all of this yet those words rattled in my chest like poison. Fuck, today just like the night of my children’s party was one of the times I should have kept my mouth shut. But when she fucking taunted me like that…saying that I wasn’t a nice guy…and I never did anything nice for anyone except it benefitted me. She wasn’t wrong…nor was she fucking right. It’s just…I hated that tone…and it fed the dark monster in me until I gave in to that hunger that had been clawing under my skin since she parked in front of my gate. Besides, she’d smelt of that fucker. His fucking scent
Jessica’s P.O.VI whimpered at the implications of his words. “No,” I said, but my hands were pulling Keagan closer, tighter against my neck. He’d just asked to fuck me and then seal it with a mating mark. Even if we no longer had a bond… sex that ended with a mating mark was just as potent.The world was spinning, and my mind, and my inhibitions were quickly draining away. No. no. no. my body shivered with pleasure. Fuck, Keagan’s stubble felt heavenly against my neck.The alpha sucked hard on the mark on my neck, soaking me deep in his own scent so that not even a single whiff of Ryder was left on me. “Push me away.” Keagan gritted against me. “Push me away, damn you Jess. I want to be a better man. I promised. I wanna fucking stay away from you!”But I didn’t….couldn’t. My hands moved down to fumble with Keagan’s zipper and the next thing I knew, I had hard, hot flesh in my hand. Keagan’s cock. My husband’s cock. Fuck. a voice in my head screamed at me to stop, but I couldn’t.I st
Jessica’s P.O.VI stepped into the dark study, my eyes struggling to adjust to the odd dim light. I wanted to ask why it was so black in here but I was a stranger in Keagan’s space. After everything that had happened between us, I’d best not push it.As my vision adjusted to the darkness, I finally saw Keagan. He was sprawled in his chair behind the massive mahogany desk, a cigarette dangling from his lips as his eyes closed in concentration. Keagan looked absolutely delicious in his black shirt and tailored pants, his tanned throat bobbing sexily as he inhaled. But I couldn’t shake the feeling of irritation that he didn’t even stir when I entered the room. I knew he fucking knew I was here. After the way he’d shamelessly chased after me, well I didn’t expect to be on the receiving end of his icy attitude.I stopped in front of him and the asshole didn’t even move. He only continued smoking, his thick honey-blonde lashes slowly lifting and fixing stunning obsidian eyes on me. They we
Jessica’s P.O.VThere was only one explanation but I refused to believe it, to even consider it for a moment. Yet as another day went by with a few posts from Ryder, his signature mystery mask worn in a luxurious room, location undecipherable, I started to consider it.Ryder stole. Ryder was a thief. He absconded with the money from Elsa and her boyfriend John, whom I met this morning. John was…very plain-looking and pretty unremarkable. He had a face I could come across on a run and never remember. Not that it was bad…it was just my observation. Usually, I wouldn’t have given him a second glance, but for one, he was my boyfriend’s agent. Secondly, Elsa really seemed to love him. She kept clinging to him and bursting into tears until he left her alone with me in my hotel suite, saying he had a few errands to run.I felt awful and incredibly sorry for her. She didn’t deserve this.‘And neither do you.’ a voice whispered in my head, making me shiver. It was crazy how disconnected I felt
Jessica’s P.O.V I woke up to the warm rays of sunlight peeking through the curtains, stretching my arms above my head. A soft yawn escaped my lips as I arched my back, biting back a smile when I felt a slight soreness between my legs. Wow. I did it. I allowed Sylvia to consummate her mating bond with Ryder. It was like their bodies were made for each other…and last night I had felt like a third party, having an out-of-body experience as I watched Sylvia sleep with her mate. I really feel like I did the right thing so what is this odd feeling of wrongness that won’t stop clinging to me? As I sat up, the sheets slid off, and I felt a gentle breeze caress my bare skin. I shivered instantly, pulling the sheets back up. Where did I put my clothes? I wondered. Then realized that the space next to me was empty. Where was Ryder? Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I planted my feet firmly on the ground. Could he be in the kitchen? Well, there was only one way to find out. I stood
Keagan’s P.O.VMy blood ran cold and I gripped the steering wheel so tightly, my knuckles turning white. Shit. oh fuck. I almost swerved off the road, the car fishtailing dangerously as I fought to regain control.“Is…is she okay?” I demanded as my voice grew strained, cold sweat appearing on my brows.“She’s being treated by the school’s nurse, but we think she might need stitches. The bleeding just won’t stop. We’ve already called an ambulance and it’s best if you meet us at the hospital.”Then she hung up.I slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching against the pavement. My heart pounded in my ears as I turned the car around, ignoring the swears and curses from the drivers I almost collided head-on into. I had to get to her now. Jessica, my half-assed plan —all of it faded into insignificance, Mina was my fucking priority now.When I arrived at the hospital, I was met by Mina’s class teacher. She looked pale and fearful, making the knots in my stomach tighten even harder. I grabb
Keagan’s P.O.VThe sun cast long, dancing shadows across the manicured lawn as my children chased each other, their laughter echoing through the air. A pang of hurt shot through me, that familiar ache in my chest that I’d grown accustomed to over. I yearned to join my children, rebond with them after I’d abruptly yelled at them over dinner last night. But they might request me to shift so I could play chase with them where the beast in my wolf form would chase them around. They were very attached to my wolf and whilst most men shook in fear at its sight, Mina always giggled and poked at his fur, saying he looked like a big puppy. That was the only reason Mina and Liam didn’t ask for a pet while growing up. I, in my wolf form, was their pet.A sad smile curled my lips downward as I continued to watch them. This was all my fault.My gaze soon drifted to the sprawling gardens and the sparkling pool at the back that was currently covered with an automatic pool lid to make it kid-safe. I d
Jessica’s P.O.VThe knock on the door shattered the cozy atmosphere, making me pause my show with my brows pulling into a slight knot. Glancing up at the door, I tossed the remote in my hand away and called out, “Ryder, did you order something?”Ryder’s voice floated from the bathroom. “No, I didn’t?”A sigh rose to my lips and I stood up, wrapping myself in a robe to cover my thin nightgown. As I approached the door, the knock sounded again, more insistent this time. I peered through the keyhole, but the fish-eye lens revealed only an empty hallway. What the…?I turned to leave but the knock echoed again.My irritation grew and I yanked the door open, ready to rip into the pesky room service person.But it wasn’t a uniformed hotel attendant by my door.Keagan stood in the doorway, his ruggedly handsome face scowling at me, like it had since morning. I swallowed hard, my heart skipping a beat when our eyes locked.“What are you doing here?” I forced out through suddenly dried lips. I
