Red Satin Lana's Pov Dressed in a red satin short gown, I spun, checking myself out in the mirror. My curled hair cascaded below my shoulders accentuating my look. My cheekbones were highlighted with the little brown blush I added to my cheeks and my lips were a moderate nude pink mixed with a bit of brown color. I felt beautiful, gorgeous, and confident, and I didn't think anything could beat the feeling. I walked towards my bed before taking a champagne stiletto heels with its glimmering strings. My well-manicured hands enhanced the look of my nude-colored nails, and when I stood again, an inch taller this time, I was proud of who I was looking at in the mirror. "Damnnnn." My head instinctively turned towards the origin of the voice. It was of course it was Caroline. A smile made its way to my lips. I couldn't help it. "You're about to steal the attention of every man the moment you walk into that restaurant." "Don't start," I said, giving her a playful glare. "I'm not st

Desperate Measures Donovan's Pov No, it wasn't just me. It wasn't the fact that I was clenching and unclenching my fist when I realized how these men kept ogling her while she was completely unaware, digging her fork into the vegetable on her plate. I shouldn't be feeling this way, but every moment I set my eyes on her it was like I was getting to know her all over again. She had sides to her that I just didn't know existed when we were still together. Married. Sighing, I dug my fork into my plate. I shouldn't be recalling the past. But sometimes, I wondered if she cared about it anymore. I hurt her, badly, and I hated myself for it, for letting the best thing that had happened to me go. "So Lana. How's work?" Bryan asked, breaking the silence as he tried to stir up a conversation. Lana looked up from her plate, gaze flipping between both me and my son before she looked back at her plate once again, nodding. "I guess. It's okay." She said, chewing on her vegetables. "Dad tol

Search Lana's Pov The thought of that night crossed my mind once more. Seeing Sarah with another man made it very clear to me that Donovan wasn't happy in his marriage. All he did with Sarah was tolerate her, probably for Bryan. The night she had hit me on the cheeks all because of Donovan didn't leave my mind. I guess Caroline was right, in some ways, but in this way, it was Sarah's story. The same way you got them could be the same way you lose them. Sarah was never faithful when she knew that Donovan had a wife, she went as far as hitting me in the face while Donovan stood there and did nothing. I chuckled to myself. Karma was indeed a bitch. I glanced up at Donovan whose eyes were on his wife who was occupied with the man she was speaking with, her eyes twinkling with wonder, a little smile playing on her lips. I sipped my juice through the straw. As a woman, I knew that look anywhere. She wasn't just noting everything he was saying, she was interested in that man. I ticked my

Make me Donovan's Pov I released Sarah's hand roughly, causing her to stumble before she quickly regained her balance. I felt disturbed by how stubborn she could be. Bryan was already in his room, sleeping. I couldn't let him overhear our conversation. "You never, listen," I growled menacingly. I'd had enough of her lies. "What is this Donovan? Why would you just drag me out of that restaurant in front of him?!" She yelled, her eyes widening with anger. "You said you had nothing to do with him! Why did you freaking lie to me?" "That's none of your business." She yelled while I chuckled. "None of my business? That's a lot of nerve coming from you. I'm so sick and tired of everything you stand for. You're an unfaithful bitch that just wants to be picked. I can't believe I didn't see all these traits before I got married to you." I said, my tone rising with every single word. "You're comparing me to that bitch aren't you?" She questioned. "Yes! The hell I am!" I was so glad to

On a date night Lana's Pov I can't believe she made me do this. I looked at myself in the mirror, all glammed up. "You didn't have to this extreme though," I said as she fixed my makeup referring to the cuff she had used to stick me to the chair. "We both know you needed it, if you didn't, I wouldn't have had this chance." She said. "It's just a date." I gritted out. "It's not just any date. It's a date with one of the richest men out there. I mean he's ready to settle down too and he already picked interest in you, especially when he realized you're single." She emphasized, and all I could do was sigh. I didn't want to go on this date. But with how she was so insistent on it I guess I just had to go for it. I just hope he will turn out nice. Once she was done with the touching up of my makeup, she stepped back to admire her work. I cocked a brow at my reflection. I looked gorgeous but still felt like a beautiful prisoner in designed clothes. The cuff on my wrist looked

A Night to Remember Standing on my doorstep, Leo's eyes met mine as the city lights shimmered in the background. I sensed a slowdown in the world, feeling a palpable connection between us. "Do you want to do this again? Leo asked, speaking softly with a hint of optimism. I felt a flutter in my heart. I didn't expect to have as much fun as I did that evening. "I would be delighted to," I responded, with a sincere smile. Leo's face brightened with a friendly grin. "I'll make sure it happens again soon." With that assurance, he moved closer, his lips lightly touching my cheek in a tender kiss. The feeling sent chills down my back. "Sleep well, Lana," he murmured, his breath brushing against my ear. "Goodnight, Leo'," in response. As he prepared to go, I observed him with amazement. Who was he, and what was it about him that attracted me so much? Caroline's voice broke into my daydream. "How did it go? Have I mentioned that he's the ideal match for you?" I smiled while rolling

Torn Between Two Worlds Lana POV On my way back home, my phone buzzed...it was Donovan. "Lana, I know I shouldn't be messaging you, but I need to see you again. Can we meet tomorrow?" I paused, feeling uncertain about the next step to take. Then I got a text, glancing at my phone I realized it was Leo. "Hello, gorgeous. Do you want to go out for dinner this evening? I feel we have lots to discuss about." I sensed a fluttering feeling in my chest. Why did I feel like I was torn between two worlds? I decided to ask for Caroline's advice. She had consistently been candid and truthful with me. I reached the kitchen with Caroline trying to get something to eat from the refrigerator. She glanced back upon hearing my footsteps before giving me a friendly smile, but it quickly changed when she noticed the look on my face. "Lana, what's wrong? You seem a bit distressed." I filled her in on the latest news - Donovan's sudden return and Leo's increasing curiosity, after taking a deep

Not TonightLana POVOn the drive over to the restaurant, I was still pondering about what Donovan said to me. The weight of his words stayed on me but I dismissed it as I looked around the room. Leo was already there at a corner table completely composed. He looked happy when he noticed me and for a little while everything that was bothering me disappeared.'Hi, Lana,' greeted Leo standing up to meet me. He then pulled out a chair and slid it under me, I sat down, feeling his warmth. Leo was comforting. He didn’t have the baggage or the drama Donovan did. He was... steady."Leo," I said, trying to match his calm. I didn’t want him to know the crazy emotions that were running through me.The menus were brought over, by the waiter, and I barely looked at mine. Mind was meandering, moving backward and forwards, past and present. I took a deep breath and remembered that I was here with Leo, I had to be in this moment."So, how was your day?" Leo asked his tone light but curious.I smiled

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
