SEXSarah pov“You assured me of intimacy, so prepare yourself and get in the right mindset. I can overlook your earlier reference to Lana, but the commitment to intimacy remains non-negotiable.” I noted this as I allowed my towel to drop effortlessly. “Please refrain from this behavior! I am exhausted and require some rest. There will be no intimacy tonight; it was an error to have made such a promise.” Donovan's remarks elicited an unexpected fit of laughter and applause, reminiscent of mindless gossip. “What did you just say?” I inquired, looking at him with a blank expression.I observed him as he wrapped himself in the duvet, enveloping his entire body from head to toe. It struck me as rather immature for him to believe he could prevent me from engaging in intimacy with him. "Let us take a shower, Donovan, before we proceed with whatever we are about to do," I suggested, but he merely laughed. “We share nothing in common interests.”In a fit of anger, I gestured towards the wa
TERMINATED CONTRACT WITH LAWSUITLANA POVAs I gazed at the documents being filed under my company, I couldn't help but remind all my employees about the importance of not accepting unauthorized files. Gathering the entire staff in the hall, I was too preoccupied with the turmoil caused by Sarah throughout the week to address them myself. "Mr. Jan, please take the lead," I said calmly, absentmindedly running my hand through my hair and keeping a serene smile on my lips. "Of course, Mrs. Lana," he replied. I observed as he straightened his tie and cleared his throat before confidently discussing the issue of accepting files.“Mrs. Lana, the file belonging to Mr. Donovan has also been included among the documents presented.” Mr. Jan remarked, indicating the file toward me. A wave of anger washed over me as memories began to resurface. A single file had been the catalyst for my divorce from Donovan, and now he seeks to engage in a business arrangement with my company. It is foolish of
Lana povHow could she possibly label me as weak? This thought consumed my mind as I directed a fierce glare at Caroline, who appeared completely unaware of the implications of her words. “Did you just refer to me as a weak woman?” I finally voiced my concern, yet she paid me no mind, engrossed in her chocolate bar. I couldn't help but wonder where she had acquired such a treat while seated here, dismissing me as a weak individual.She leaped out without a moment's pause and faced me directly. “I was not joking, Lana; you tend to take everything lightly, which is why Clara feels compelled to impose her foolishness upon you.” Her voice dripped with malice as she spoke. I cannot afford to be lighthearted when conveying the truth. She persisted, yet I could sense the weight of her sincerity regarding the matters at hand. I understood that she was attempting to transform me into a ruthless and unfeeling individual, but I was not prepared to embrace that change.Can we skip speaking of
Court case Lana povI initiated legal proceedings regarding the matters that have perplexed me for several days. Although it was Caroline's suggestion to take action against Sarah, I am now eager to engage in this pursuit. The situation has become more intriguing since I secured a distinguished and attentive attorney who is diligently handling the case.I dressed in my tailored trousers and a fitted suit jacket, presenting a professional appearance. As I stood before the mirror, I reflected on the transformation I have undergone over the past few years; I had once been engulfed in despair, but now exuded confidence. With a deep sigh, I adjusted my outfit, acknowledging my stunning appearance as I twirled around, my heart racing with anticipation. I slipped into my heels and fastened my necklace, ensuring everything was in place.“It is time to commence the festivities, Lana; I am not to be underestimated.” I reminded myself, but my moment of self-admiration was abruptly interrupted b
ACCOUNT RESISTING Sarah pov“I would like to inquire about the reason for the blocking of my account transaction, Donovan.”“At this moment, Sarah, I feel you are not entitled to anything from me.”“Your intention seems to be to tarnish my reputation and character; however, I assure you that I will convey this to the appropriate parties.” He appeared despondent, his legs crossed as I reflected on Donovan's words.“Do you believe that restricting my account will bring you the peace you seek? Come now, Donovan, you spoke out against me in court without any sense of remorse, and do you truly expect me to entertain your nonsensical claims?”“I anticipated that you would address the legal matters,” he exclaimed, reaching for the coffee cup positioned on the table. I swiftly removed it from his grasp. “That belongs to me, Mr. You should get your own,” I retorted, my frustration intensifying. “That is the sole privilege you possess, madam,” he mocked.My anger surged in response to his sar
Stay with me Lana povThe driver executed a rapid turn into an unfamiliar main road. Frankly, I was unaware of the street we were entering. "Where are you taking me?" I inquired of Jenkin, who merely responded with a smile. "Ma'am Lana, this is an alternative route to the office, as the main road is currently under reconstruction," he explained, his attention primarily directed at the rearview mirror.Suddenly, he faltered as I heard a loud crash followed by a scream from the front. "What on earth just happened?" I shouted, my eyes wide with disbelief, but he remained silent. "Ma'am, I believe we may have struck someone," he said, his voice low and trembling. In an instant, I opened the car door and rushed outside. The vacant stares of the onlookers sent a chill down my spine. "You nearly killed him!" an elderly woman shouted, her voice resonating through the air, leaving me at a loss for words, stumbling over my thoughts.Upon exiting the vehicle, I surveyed the surroundings. I
Missing child Lana povI settled onto the couch alongside the young boy, who was engrossed in playing video games with me. The emotions I experienced in his presence were difficult to articulate, especially considering the disparity between our feelings. "No, Lana, you've ruined it!" he exclaimed, his expression contorting in dismay as I inadvertently pressed a green button on the phone. "You shouldn't have," he murmured. I sensed the frustration that arises when one's efforts are thwarted by another. "I apologize, Bryan; I was merely attempting to assist," I responded, my voice barely rising above a whisper as I nibbled on a bowl of popcorn. "My mother always talks about getting me more toys, but she never actually does," he remarked. I rolled my eyes upward, his words striking a painful chord and evoking memories of my own child. I realized I needed to locate the orphanage and reclaim my child.As I sat in contemplation, attempting to navigate my emotions, Bryan unexpectedly t
He is acting strange Donovan pov.A knock resonated through the door, causing my heart to race as I anxiously peered outside, hoping to see our child. It was nearly 9 PM, and there had been no updates from the police or any reliable source regarding our son's whereabouts. "What is wrong with you, Sarah? Stop crying and answer the door," I growled, pacing back and forth in the living room, the weight of our son's disappearance pressing heavily upon me. Before I could even take a deep breath, I heard the door swing open. She could hardly contain her anticipation for her son's return. I muttered to myself as I sluggishly approached the door to witness the moment for myself. My heart raced at the sight of my son standing on the doorstep. "Bryan!" Sarah exclaimed, her voice echoing through the room as I opened the door, allowing her to enter with Bryan. It was surprising that we did not see who had brought him home. "Bryan, sweetheart, where have you been? Mummy has missed you so much
The Truth Unfolds Lana’s POV I sat in the living room, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a heavy blanket. My mind spun with all the revelations from the past few days—Leo’s betrayal, Sarah’s twisted games, and the danger we were all in. It felt like the walls were closing in on me, and I had no idea who to trust anymore. Donovan stood by the window, his face unreadable as he stared out into the night. The silence between us was thick, and I knew there was more he hadn’t told me yet. I could feel it in the air, a tension that seemed to tighten with every passing second. Finally, he spoke, his voice low and strained. "Lana, there’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you a long time ago." I looked up at him, my heart pounding. "What is it, Donovan? I don’t think I can handle any more surprises." He turned to face me, his eyes filled with a mix of guilt and determination. "Remember when we thought I couldn’t have children? When we believed I w
Truth Lana’s POV My hands shook as I stood over the knife, my heart pounding. The air felt thick with tension, and I could hardly breathe. Leo was still wrestling with the stranger on the floor, and I knew I had to act fast. “Get off him!” I shouted, hoping to break through the chaos. Leo glanced up, his face smeared with sweat and determination. “Lana, I can handle this! Just—” But before he could finish, the stranger threw him to the side. Leo hit the wall with a loud thud, and I winced at the sound. “Now, where were we?” the man said, grinning menacingly. I tightened my grip on the knife, trying to steady my racing thoughts. Who was this guy? Why had he come here? “Get away from him!” I yelled, stepping forward, ready to protect Leo at all costs. The man turned his gaze toward me, his smile widening. “You think you can stop me? You don’t even know what’s happening here.” “What are you talking about?” I snapped. He straightened up, brushing off his clothes like he
The Storm Lana’s POV My heart raced as I looked from Donovan to Leo, who was blocking our only way out. The air was thick with tension, and the darkness felt like it was closing in on me. I had never been so terrified in my life. “Lana, listen to me!” Donovan said urgently, his eyes fixed on me. “We can’t let him get to you. We need to stick together.” “Together?” Leo sneered, stepping forward. “Do you think that will save you? You’re both just pawns in my game.” “What game?” I shot back, trying to keep my voice steady. “What do you want?” Leo grinned, but there was no warmth in it. “I want everything. You, Lana. Your trust. Your love. I want to destroy Donovan, and you’re the key to making that happen.” I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. How had I misjudged him so completely? I had thought Leo was my ally, someone I could trust, but now he was showing a dark side I had never seen before. “Lana, don’t listen to him!” Donovan shouted, stepping protectively in front of me. “
All Lies Lana’s POV The night was thick with tension, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched. Sarah and I sat in the dim light of the cabin, huddled together as we planned our next move against Donovan. I tried to focus, but my mind kept drifting back to the shadow I had seen outside. “Lana, are you even listening?” Sarah’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Sorry, I just…” I hesitated, trying to find the right words. “I keep thinking about Donovan. What if he is coming for us?” Sarah rolled her eyes, irritation flashing across her face. “Donovan is a monster. He will do anything to get to you. We need to stay focused.” As she spoke, I felt a knot tightening in my stomach. Something didn’t feel right. The more I thought about it, the more I began to question Sarah’s intentions. Was she really on my side, or was she just trying to protect herself? Suddenly, the front door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside. My heart raced as I turned, ready to confront
Unexpected Lana’s POV The days following Donovan’s death—if it was even that—were a blur. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare, each moment dragging on as I tried to process everything that had happened. Leo was gone. The thought crushed me. I could still hear his voice, his laughter, and his promises echoing in my mind. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall, my heart heavy with grief. Leo had fought for me. He had given everything to protect me, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had failed him. I should have been there. I should have done something more. “Lana, are you okay?” Caroline’s voice broke through my thoughts. She stood in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I forced a smile, but it felt hollow. “Yeah, just thinking.” “Thinking about Leo?” she asked gently, stepping closer. I nodded, tears welling in my eyes. “I can’t believe he’s gone. He didn’t deserve this.” “I know,” Caroline said, sitting beside me. “He loved you, Lana. And you loved
The Truth UnveiledLana’s POVThe chaos in the cabin was overwhelming. I felt my heart racing as Donovan’s men stormed in, and I barely had time to process what was happening. The air was thick with tension, and I could hear the sound of fists hitting flesh, shouts of anger, and the shattering of furniture. I had to focus. I had to protect Sarah.“Sarah!” I yelled, scanning the room for her. She was pressed against the wall, eyes wide with fear. “Lana, get out!” she shouted, her voice trembling. “They’re going to hurt you!”I pushed through the crowd, trying to reach her. But just then, Leo stepped in front of me, brandishing an axe with fierce determination. “Stay back!” he warned, ready to defend us. Suddenly, I heard Donovan’s laugh cut through the chaos. “You think you can save her, Leo?” His voice dripped with mockery. “You’re out of your league!”Without warning, a loud crash reverberated through the cabin as the front door burst open. Donovan stood there, a twisted smile on
BetrayedLana’s POVRunning through the thick trees, I could hear the sounds of footsteps pounding behind us. Panic surged in my chest. We had to get away before they caught up. “Where do we go?” Caroline shouted, glancing over her shoulder. I didn’t have a plan. “Just keep moving!” I yelled back, adrenaline coursing through my veins. My mind raced as I tried to think of a way out. Leo and Jax were close behind, their faces set with determination. “We need to find shelter,” Jax suggested, his voice steady despite the chaos. “There’s a cabin nearby. If we can reach it, we might be safe.”“Let’s go!” I replied, pushing through the branches that scratched my arms. My breath came in quick gasps, but I focused on putting one foot in front of the other. As we ran, I felt a twinge of guilt for Sarah. I couldn’t deny the pain she had caused, but there was a part of me that wondered how she had ended up this way. Did she ever have a choice? “Here!” Jax pointed ahead, and I saw the outline
ReckoningLana’s POVThe sound of gunfire still echoed in my ears as I rushed toward Sarah, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I had never imagined my life would lead to this moment—facing the woman who had caused me so much pain. Jax was right beside me, his expression fierce and focused. “Watch out!” he yelled as Sarah fired again. I ducked just in time, feeling the heat of the bullet whiz past my shoulder. “We need to flank her!” I shouted, trying to think clearly in the chaos. I signaled to Leo and Caroline, who were hiding behind the trees. They nodded, understanding the plan. “On three!” Jax said, his voice steady despite the chaos. “One, two, three!”We all moved at once, rushing toward Sarah from different angles. She looked frantic, scanning for us, her gun shaking in her hands. “Get back!” she screamed, her voice breaking. But we didn’t back down. I felt a surge of courage. This was my moment to take control. I could see the fear in her eyes as she faced us, her brava
The Calm Before the Storm Lana’s POV I felt a wave of anxiety was right over me. A hidden island? What if it was a trap? But there was no other choice; we couldn’t go back to the city. As we approached the island, I noticed that the trees loomed like dark shadows against the night sky. “What’s on this island?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. “A safe spot. I used to come here for quiet when things got crazy,” Jax replied, his eyes focused on the shoreline. We pulled up to a small, rocky beach. Jax quickly shut off the engine, and a heavy silence settled around us. I felt the weight of uncertainty pressing down. We climbed out of the boat and onto the shore, and I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. The air was thick with the scent of salt and damp earth. “Let’s find some cover,” Jax said, leading us into the trees. “We can’t stay exposed here.” As we walked deeper into the island, I felt a chill run down my spine. The shadows felt alive, shifting with every
