“He was so attentive. I mean, every single touch, every kiss—it was like he knew exactly what I wanted, exactly where to touch. I swear I lost count of how many times I—” Chloe interrupted with a loud squeal, her hands clapping together in pure excitement. “Oh my God! Yes, yes, yes!” She couldn’t s
Both women stood there, frozen for a moment, the realization settling in. Rachael’s heart thudded loudly in her chest as she stared at the woman in front of her. But it was Evelyn who looked more shocked—her eyes wide, mouth slightly agape, as if the slap hadn’t been the only thing that rattled her
Evelyn’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second, the fear surfacing again. “Scare you?” she scoffed, but there was a slight tremor in her voice. “I don’t need to scare you, Rachael. I’ve already won. I have everything—Victor, the house, the life you wanted. And look at you—alone, bitter, desperate.
Jamal repeated the name softly, rolling it around in his mind. “Do you know her?” Rachael’s jaw tightened. “Yes, I know her. I’ve known her for a long time.” Silence followed her words, but she could sense that Jamal wasn’t done. He had that curious look in his eyes, the one that always meant more
*Damian's Pov* Damian sat at his desk, the usual mountain of paperwork strewn about in front of him, but his mind was far from the contracts and numbers he usually excelled at. His thumb brushed the velvet box resting in the drawer beside him, the one he had opened and closed at least a dozen tim
Damian’s breath caught in his throat, rage bubbling up so fast and so fiercely that it almost choked him. The past came crashing down on him in that moment—the betrayal, the gut-wrenching pain of discovering her in bed with his own brother, the anger that had festered inside him for months. He ha
"You think your precious Rachael is untouchable? That she’ll save you from your past? What’s your plan, hmm? You’re going to play house with her and forget everything we had?” She sneered, her words dripping with scorn. The venom in her voice made Damian’s stomach turn. His brother’s betrayal, her
Evelyn burst into her home like a hurricane, the door slamming so violently behind her that the sound echoed through the walls. Her body shook with fury, her nails digging into her palms as she paced, eyes wild with rage. “I can't believe she did that” she thought, her heart racing. "Who does she
“You really thought you could outrun me, Victor?” Romano’s voice was low, smooth, and filled with a venomous calm that sent chills down the spines of his men flanking him. He took a measured step forward, the sound of his polished shoes striking the pavement echoing like a countdown. “Disappointing.
Trigger Warning: Violence Act The city was a pressure cooker, and Dante could feel it ready to blow. “Where the hell is Victor?” he barked, his voice sharp enough to cut through the stale air in the car. His fingers clenched the steering wheel, knuckles drained of color, veins pulsing angrily. Swea
"You must take me with you!" Victor scoffed, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth as he pulled out his gun, aiming it directly at her forehead. “You’re delusional, Evelyn. Do you really think you’re worth anything to me? Say goodbye, Evelyn.” He cocked the gun, his voice dropping to a chillin
*Trigger Warning: Dark Themes, Violence** “Time to get Victor out of there.” The words rolled off his tongue, low and menacing. A dark-skinned man, his muscles taut beneath a fitted black shirt, adjusted the loaded pistol with practiced ease, slipping it into the waistband of his jeans. He sniff
Is everything alright?” the doctor began, his tone gentle, but the words died in his throat as his gaze landed on the bed. Jamal—who had been motionless, unresponsive for what felt like an eternity—was no longer lying still. He was sitting up, his movements slow and unsteady, but unmistakably alive
They say miracles happen to those who believe, but Rachel had repeated that mantra to herself so many times that the words had lost their weight, becoming hollow whispers in the dark. Nights stretched into weeks, weeks into months, as she sat by Jamal's bedside, her heart heavy with a despair she da
Rachel stood frozen in the doorway of the hospital room, her breath hitching as her eyes locked on the small, fragile figure lying on the bed. The machines around him beeped steadily, their cold, mechanical sounds a stark contrast to the warmth she so desperately wanted to feel in this moment. Her h
Unknown Men POV The room was dim, lit only by the amber glow of a desk lamp and the flickering shadows of the cigar smoke curling through the air. The boss sat reclined in his leather chair, his tailored suit flawless even in the muted light. The thick cigar between his fingers smoldered as he took
Racheal’s lawyer stood with a smirk on her face, the weight of victory hanging in the air. She turned to the courtroom, her gaze sharp as she addressed the defense. “As you have all heard, the truth has come straight from the horse’s mouth. Do you have anything to say in defense of your clients?”
