Jessica's p.o.v

Water dripped down the length of my body as I slowly rose from the tub, breathe held and heart thumping.

What if Keagan returned into the bathroom and saw the odd looking book from the cavity in the wall?

Thankfully, my eyes caught another towel in the cabinet in the faucet and i quickly dried off before tying the towel around me. Then I took the towel i wrapped around the book and pushed it behind me whilst exiting the bathroom.

With my heart in my mouth, I carefully padded down the hall, hoping to the goddess I won’t run into anyone.

Suddenly a loud banging noise echoed through the hallway and i let out a shriek, jumping high in the air

What the heck was that? It sounded like someone or something crashed into a door.

Wait what if that was Keagan? Giving up on sneaking around, I sprinted for the guest room, using my old knowledge from the time we honeymooned here. The doorknob felt slick with cold sweat from my hand as i slammed the door shut. Fingers trembling, I

    JESSICAWhere was the book? I blinked in confusion as I scanned the space where the book should have been. How could it be gone when I had placed it there when I left? My eyes darted around the bedroom to see if anything was out of place but everything was exactly as how I had left it. A cold sweat prickled my skin. Had someone been here? But that was impossible. Keagan was already at the patio before i left my room and besides, no one else should know about that book!Frustration bubbled up in my stomach and I tangled my fingers into my hair. Was I losing my mind? I badly needed an explanation for what was going on. Gritting my teeth, I reached back into the corner of the bed, hoping to find the book again. Maybe I didn't search well for it. But my fingers just scraped uselessly against the wood.I sat on the bed, frustrated. I tried to remember if I had actually placed the book there but I knew there was no way my memories were playing tricks on me. I placed it there! I was slo

    Jessica's P.O.V I froze, my eyes locked on the staircase leading to the master’s bedroom where Keagan supposedly was. Hector’s hand on my arm tightened and he gritted. “Can you be any quieter?”I refrained from giving a retort as we waited, holding our breaths until a few moments passed and we were sure Keagan wouldnt come bursting downstairs.We resumed our careful sneaking, very close to the front door. Finally Hector reached his hand out, slowly turning the handle.The door creaked open and we slid out into the night, our footsteps quiet on the patio.Hector moved to the right and began walking from the villa into the woods. I staggered to a halt, wondering if it was wise to go unarmed with a man i barely knew into the woods, but when he looked back and threw the knife at my feet, i picked it up and followed him, until he came to a stop in front of a wooden structure that seemed like a shed, which i’d never seen all the time we’d come here.As Hector ushered me through the door,

    Jessica's P.O.V My face would be the last thing you see when you’re led away in cuffs. My face would be the last thing you see when you’re led away in cuffs. My face would be the last thing you see when you’re led away in cuffs. “Get out of my head.” I whispered out loud and pressed my forehead against the cool glass of the S.U.V as it peeled along the empty road. Yet it did nothing to dispell the burning ache in my skull. My mind replayed our harsh words and it felt like peeling off the scabs on a barely healed wound. Tears prick at the corners of my eyes, but i forced them back, refusing to let them fall even if I was drowning in a sea of my own emotions. “Why did you try to help me in the beginning?” I asked Keagan's Beta who was driving quietly. I needed to speak so as to drown the voice loud in my skull. “Do you think your Alpha is also crazy for believing Emma over me?” I'd tried to go for a blasé tone but my voice cracked on the last word. Still I smirked as I caught his

    Keagan’s P.O.VI’d never smoked in my office ever in my life, but today, I needed a cigarette. Or a hundred. The damned packet burned a hole inside my pocket, tempting me into grabbing it as I paced back and forth, feeling like a caged animal, trying to deal with my failed attempt at…at fucking what? Keeping Jessica in the villa forever under the ruse of getting her to confess.What the fuck was i even thinking?She got under my skin so much and turned me into a testosterone charged male acting before thinking. Fuck! The most infuriating thing about the entire fucking episode is how blase her tone was as she fucking told me to gather my evidence. How the fuck could she be so arrogant? My face had gone purple with rage and a vein strummed at my temple as i raged within, tampering down on the urge to strangle her long neck. She had spoken to me as one would an annoying kid…looked down on me as if i was a fucking pest.Jessica.Jessica!Jessica!Her name was like a poison in my veins,

    Keagan’s P.O.VI shouldered through the double doors into the pristine lobby, my eyes narrowing right down to the receptionist. Teeth grinding with ill-concealed rage, I stormed towards the steel desk and rammed my knuckles onto it.The receptionist eyes snapped up and when she took me in, her nostrils flared in desire. She deftly adjusted her hair and popped a top button on her shirt before leaning across to grin. “Hello sir, how may I help you?”Her cleavage threatened to spill from her tight-fitting top and yet it did nothing to stir my interest. The rage clouding my vision was like a red haze that consumed me inside out. “Sylvia Reynolds.” I snarled, my lips curled in disgust. “What room does she stay here?”Seeing I wasn’t reciprocating her obviously attempt at flirting, the receptionist’s cheeks burned red and she straightened her spine, the smile slipped from her lips. “Is she expecting you, sir?”“Why does that matter?”“I would ring her room to confirm before sending you up.

    Jessica’s P.O.V My heart slammed right out of my chest as he tugged me over his lap. When his fingers slid up the hem of my robe, exposing my buttocks, I jerked against him. “What are you–?” He pushed me right back down, his warm palm landing right on my butt cheek and I gasped not from the pain but from the wetness that immediately leaked out of me, because well, fuck my life. White-hot pain immediately followed my arousal, exploding over my ass. “You need to be taught a lesson.” His stomach shifted against my shoulders as he rumbled while i wiggled all over his lap, trying to get away. “Throwing that stunt to get my attention, a spanking is what you need.” “Another stabbing in the shoulder is what you need.” I seethed through my teeth as my ass burned. “That mouth, I should probably fuck it once I’m done teaching you a lesson.” My lips parted in a gasp at his words and I wondered how Keagan could make such a statement a clit-throbbing sensation. My gasp turned into ye

The first step in regaining what was mine. The first step in exacting my revenge and getting back my kids. Goddess, I was so excited I could lose consciousness in this moment. Who knew all I needed to get Keagan to dance to my tunes were a few photoshopped images?Men."Jessica?" Keagan, all sneering charm and expensive cologne glared down at me where I sat on the leather console, and I turned to give him a dirty look. "Don't fucking screw this up. Remember the deal. I'll introduce you as my model who will be staying here for a few months. Please act accordingly."I twisted my lips into a derisive smile and sneered right back at him. "Of course, master. I am your slave and must obey your every command, isn't that right? Legs crossed, eyes downcast. Anything to please Your Majesty."Keagan's nostrils flared, and I

    JESSICA'S POV ~The smile on my face faded away in the blink of an eye when I heard tiny stomps of people running down the steps. Like a magnet, my eyes couldn’t help but pull in the direction of the footsteps, and my blood ran cold as I came face to face with... Goddess... My babies.“Dad... Dad! Wilhelmina ate all of the chocolates and left me with these crumbs! It’s so unfair!” a little boy’s voice drifted into my ears, making an invisible hand grip my chest, squeezing the breath out of my lungs. They were so close...yet so far away. There was this invisible bridge keeping us apart. My heart felt like a stone, lodged uncomfortably in my throat and I wanted to cry...bawl my eyes out.“Hmph! You liar! I kept some for you, why are you greedy?” a little girl’s voice rang out, and then she came into view pouted, huffing like an angry bull. Every ounce of oxygen was knocked out of my body, and I froze like a damn statue, staring at the two cute kids right in front of me.Dusty dark blo

    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
