DANY LOUIS ✿Bang!The sharp bang of a gunshot tore through the air, jolting me from my unconsciousness. My body lurched, my heart slamming against my ribs. The last thing I remembered was darkness swallowing me whole, the darkness caused by Jade Laurent's ruthless possession.Now all of a sudden, I was here, stark naked and gasping on the floor, men in suits, a woman with a gun, and Jade Laurent staring at me with those cold, unfeeling eyes.And the man Jade Laurent had called Henri also had fallen with me; his grip loosened just enough for me to scramble away. I was stark naked and quickly covered my nakedness with the blanket.And seeing the situation, my brain quickly registered that this woman, dressed richly in designer clothes, was trying to shoot me down. My limbs felt heavy, weak, but survival was a force greater than pain.I saw how her lips curled into a smirk as she cocked the gun again, her gaze settling on me like I was nothing more than an animal."I thought she was dea
DANY LOUIS ✿The morning light streamed through the massive windows, casting golden hues over the grand room. My eyes fluttered open, my body tensed before my mind could even register where I was. Then it hit me.I wasn't home with my lovely sextuplets. I wasn't safe. I was still in Jade Laurent’s world.The previous night replayed in my mind—the ruthless sexual ordeal with Jade Laurent, Jade’s suffocating grip around my throat. My fingers instinctively brushed against my skin, where his hold had left an invisible mark. A sickening chill crept up my spine.It was a whole lot just a day before, and it was all bad. I'm tied with this dangerous family now, and it's only a matter of time before Jade gets bored of me and has me killed. I'm just a thing to him? The thought of it alone scared the crap out of me.With a deep breath, I sat up, the silk sheets slipping from my shoulders. My clothes—if I could call them that—were laid out on a chair nearby. A pristine cream blouse and a fitted b
DANY LOUIS ✿Alary, the President’s ex-PR officer.She studied me with piercing eyes, her lips curving as if she enjoyed watching me squirm. “Dany Louis,” she said, my name rolling off her tongue with an unsettling ease. “I must say, you’re quite the... surprise.”I forced myself to hold her gaze, but my hands clenched at my sides. “I—uhm—thank you?”She let out a soft chuckle, the sound dripping with amusement. “Oh, no need to thank me. It’s not every day someone with your.. background gets placed in such a prestigious role.” Her head tilted slightly. “You must be quite talented, or incredibly lucky.”I felt the weight of every stare in the room. The tension in my chest tightened.Alary took a step closer, her voice low yet pointed. “You know, managing the President’s image isn’t a game, Dany. It requires skill, experience, and most of all—” she leaned in just enough for only me to hear, “—the right kind of persuasion.”I frowned, my breath catching in my throat.She smirked, eyes g
DANY LOUIS ✿The bathroom door burst open, the handle rattling violently against the wall. I barely had time to straighten before Alary stormed in, her heels clicking against the tile like a war drum.“Dany, what the actual fuck are you doing in here?” she hissed, her breath coming fast as if she’d sprinted the entire way. “The media is outside! Right now. Microphones, cameras, the whole goddamn circus.”I blinked, still gripping the edge of the sink. My pulse hammered in my throat. “What?”She exhaled sharply, like she couldn’t believe my stupidity. “You need to get out there and do damage control. Now. The President’s company is under fire, and they’re demanding a statement.”The cold dread settled in my stomach before she even said the words.“The activist thing?” I asked, voice hollow.Alary scoffed. “No, Dany, the Easter bunny. Of course the activist thing. Half the country thinks Jade Laurent had those eco-freaks killed, and they want blood.” She ran a hand through her sleek ha
DANY LOUIS ✿I took a deep, steadying breath, forcing the tremor out of my hands as I gripped the podium. The press was still roaring, flashes of cameras cutting through the tension like lightning. My skin prickled under their scrutinizing gazes, but I squared my shoulders and lifted my chin."First and foremost," I began, my voice clear and unwavering despite the fire raging inside me, "I want to address the dangerous and irresponsible rumors that have been circulating regarding President Jade Laurent and the missing activists."The room fell into a hushed murmur, anticipation thick in the air."These baseless accusations are not only defamatory but also a blatant attempt to tarnish the reputation of a man who has dedicated himself to economic progress. There is absolutely no evidence to support these wild claims, and I urge the media to remember the importance of integrity in reporting."I exhaled, my pulse hammering beneath my skin."Moreover, I find it highly concerning that peop
DANY LOUIS ✿As I struggled to breathe, so clueless my vision blurred as Jade’s grip tightened around my throat, forcing me up on my toes. The heat of his palm seared into my skin, and i clawed at his wrist instinctively, gasping for breath.What have I done this time? Why does he detests me so much? Why is he this Cold and ruthless? “You like attention, don’t you?” His voice was low, edged with menace. “Standing there on live, showing all the bruises out in the open like a desperate little wench, Knowing fully well the press take the littlest signal, I know that's what you want to do.” He leaned in, his breath warm against my trembling lips. “You wouldn't tell me who sent you yet? I'd break you bit my bit till you tell me”I choked, shaking my head as tears slipped down my cheeks. “No one,” I gasped, my voice was barely above a whisper. “I swear—”Jade’s free hand slid down, fingers curling around the curve of my hip before roughly pulling my flush against him, my heart thudded fa
DANY LOUIS ✿The moment I saw her, my knees buckled, and I immediately hit the marble floor on my knees, trembling. My breath came in short, Nara Mormont who shot a gun at me just yesterday!She sat on the desk, legs crossed, a sleek black shotgun balanced effortlessly in her hands as if it weighed nothing. Her manicured fingers traced the gun absentmindedly, but her eyes—sharp, assessing, deadly—were locked onto me.I wasn’t leaving this room unscathed. Maybe not alive at all.“Look at you,” Nara murmured, tilting her head as she studied me like a pathetic little insect caught in her web. “are you scared?”My hands clenched into fists against the floor, my throat closing up. “P-Please, I—”“What do you want with my fiancé Jade Laurent?” Her voice was low, but the danger in it sent ice flooding through my veins, I swallowed hard, shaking my head. “Nothing. I swear, I have nothing to do with him.”Her lips curled in a smirk that didn’t reach her eyes. “Nothing?”“I—I only ever met
DANY LOUIS ✿What did she mean? What company? I owned nothing—I had nothing. The company I inherited from my father had been stripped from me, stolen by the man I once called my husband. And now, Nara was spewing this insanity before everyone, as if I were the villain.Confusion spread like wildfire around the grand banquet table.Jade’s fingers tightened around his glass, his knuckles turning white. His unreadable eyes locked onto me, calculating, assessing. It was like him hearing a new thing about me.When he had asked me multiple times who I was I kept saying I was nobody and I only met him severally in a coincidence, and now he is hearing that I own a company? And stalking him to bring him down?The Laurent family, the guests, even the servants—all their gazes bore into my skin, dissecting me like a specimen laid out for display.I was in the den of this dangerous family, “I—I don’t understand,” I managed to whisper, my voice cracking under the pressure. “What are you talking
The heels of Alary’s designer stilettos clicked against the cold marble floor as she stormed down the dimly lit corridor. Her heart pounded—not with fear, but with triumph.Everything had gone exactly as planned.The city was ablaze with outrage, the protests growing louder by the hour. The media had painted Dany as a monster, a heartless child-killer. And Jade Laurent—cold, ruthless, and territorial—wouldn’t let his empire crumble because of some disposable woman.Dany was finished.Alary smirked as she pushed open the heavy oak doors of Nara Mormont’s private office.Inside, the scent of aged bourbon and fresh lilies lingered in the air. The glow of the television cast flickering shadows across the luxurious space, illuminating the woman who stood at its center—Nara Mormont.Tall. Elegant. Lethal.Draped in a silk robe the color of blood, she swirled the amber liquid in her crystal glass, her sharp eyes never leaving the screen as the news anchors replayed the footage of Dany stuffi
Dany’s world collapsed in seconds.Hands clawed at her like talons, yanking, shoving—her body jerked forward, the force of the mob sending her to her knees. Screams battered her from every side, a deafening, relentless storm. Someone grabbed her by the collar, hauling her upright only to shove her back down. Her head snapped forward, hair tangled in her face, mouth filling with the bitter taste of blood from where her lip had split."You sick witch!" a voice shrieked from the crowd."She killed a baby!" another howled."You Buried it alive!"Dany gasped as something hard smashed against her shoulder—a folder, a handbag, a shoe? She didn’t know. The pain barely registered over the sheer terror that gripped her lungs like a vice.They were animals as they threw her out of the Company rallying her out to the press waiting at ten company premises,"She should be locked up!""She should be buried the way she buried that baby!"A cup of cold coffee splashed against her cheek, dripping down
The office buzzed with an unusual energy that Dany couldn't place. As soon as she entered the building the next morning, she was greeted by the sharp, tense faces of her coworkers. They whispered in low voices, glancing at her as if they knew something she didn’t. The usual hum of keyboards and clicking mice was absent, replaced by an eerie stillness that made Dany’s skin crawl.She dropped her bag at her desk, still haunted by the events of the previous night. Alary... giving birth out of nowhere. The baby. The van. The secrecy. Dany couldn't shake the image of the newborn in her arms, the fragile, helpless life that she had handed away to those shadowed figures. It haunted her in the quiet moments, in the space between thoughts, a reminder that she had just made a decision that could ruin her life.Dany rubbed her temples, willing the exhaustion from her body. She hadn't slept well, her mind replaying the chaos over and over, but there was no escaping it. Not now. Not here.The shar
The office was eerily silent. The last of the employees had left hours ago, their chatter and hurried footsteps fading into the night. Dany sat at her desk, her body aching from exhaustion, her mind clouded with fatigue. The city lights outside flickered against the tinted glass windows, mocking her with their freedom.Jade Laurent had made it clear—she wasn’t leaving until the extra work was done.She sighed, rubbing her temples before deciding she needed a break. Standing on shaky legs, she made her way to the restroom, the empty hallways amplifying the sound of her heels clicking against the floor.As soon as she stepped into the bathroom, she froze.Alary was on the ground, curled up in pain. Sweat beaded her forehead, her hands clutching at her stomach as she let out a muffled whimper."Alary?" Dany's voice wavered in confusion and alarm. "What's happening? Are you hurt?"Alary gasped, her nails digging into the tiles. "I… I don’t know… I didn’t—" She clenched her teeth, another
DANY LOUIS ✿The morning air was crisp, but I barely felt it. My heart pounded in a frantic rhythm as I checked the time on my wristwatch.One hour left.Jade Laurent had given me fifteen, and now only one remained. My throat tightened as I turned back toward the house, drinking in the sight of my babies—my six little stars, still lost in sleep. I bent down, pressing a gentle kiss to each of their foreheads, letting my lips linger just a moment longer than necessary.If I don’t come back—No. I swallowed hard. I couldn’t afford those thoughts now.Alyssane stood by the door, arms crossed, her expression hard with concern. "Are you sure about this?""I don’t have a choice," I whispered. "You said it yourself. We’re at his mercy."She exhaled sharply, then reached out and squeezed my hand. "Then go. Before it’s too late."I nodded, turning on my heel and rushing to my car. My hands trembled as I gripped the steering wheel, and I forced deep, measured breaths to keep myself steady. The
Henri stepped out of the grand entrance of Jade Laurent’s mansion, his boots crunching against the gravel. The air was thick with the scent of night-blooming jasmine, but the moment he yanked open the limousine door, all traces of tranquility shattered.She was gone.His pulse spiked as his eyes darted around the interior. The lingering warmth on the seat told him she had been here not long ago. His breath hitched. Impossible. The guards were stationed at every entrance. The gates were locked. How the hell had she slipped through?He whirled around, fury igniting like a wildfire beneath his skin. His earpiece crackled to life as he barked into it, "She’s gone! Lock down the estate! I want every goddamn man out there hunting her down! NOW!"A flurry of movement erupted across the grounds. Security guards sprinted toward the perimeter, their radios buzzing with frantic commands. Spotlights sliced through the darkness, illuminating the winding road leading away from the mansion.Henri pa
DANY LOUIS ✿"Grandpa.. I'm in ten middle of this lot of crisis, I am a man and I'd Inform you when I'm ready for the marriage..." Jade Laurent stood up, and bowed slightly to Pa. Laurent.Leaving me shocked, could Jade Laurent could ever bow to anyone, he bowed to his grandpa, then he started moving as I quickly followed behind and Jaime and Henri and his other men in black suits.We reached the cars, The limousine doors shut with a soft click, sealing me inside with him. My pulse pounded in my ears, drowning out the hum of the engine as we pulled away from the Laurent estate.The air was suffocating. Thick with so many things that hasn't been spoken the gun still in Jade's hand his eyes fixed on me. Like he was expecting me to fall down my knees and start to confess, or he'd have the bullet in my face that moment, The silence stretched tight between us, an electric charge that crackled in the dim interior. Henri and Jaime sat up front with the driver, but they wouldn't interfer
