I look at the clock on the wall and it's officially midnight and no sign of Ace. Since our little conversation I haven't heard anything from him. It's nothing new but I don't like the way we left things.

I tried reaching out to him a dozen times but his phone went straight voicemail.

I just prayed that nothing happened to him, on the other hand I still haven't heard anything from my sister yet. My parents aren't talking to me either but then again I'm the one who chose to cut them off but I could really use my mother right now.

I must have zoned out because when I look at the clock again it was now 2am and still no Ace.

I found myself getting more anxious. That's when I heard the door opening.

I immediately jumped up from the sofa I couldn't really see anything since I have been sitting in the dark. That's when I went over and switched the lights on.

That's when I got a better look at the person and sure enough it

    "Ruth?" I ask but she doesn't reply all she does is smile at me extending her hands towards me."Talk to me please." I plead but still no answer. She smiled so brightly, suddenly her smile faded the once beautiful smile she had put on her face gone. That's when she started to walk away."Ru-""Miss Isabella." I hear my name being called but I try to focus on Ruth but she was gone."Miss Isabella are you there?!" that's when I fluttered my eyes open and I looked around and saw that I was in my room on the floor. I saw that it was bright outside. I then concluded in my head that it was Ruth in my dreams but God it felt so real."Miss Isabella?" I then stood up and went to the door and when I opened it was a face I had never seen before.She didn't even wait for my invitation she just entered and went straight to my bed."Ma'am did you make your bed?" she asks a bit sceptical, and when I looked over it seemed as though no one had slept on it which is true.That's when events of yesterday

    "Fuck I can't deal with this shit anymore." he says running his hand through his head."What are you talking about?""Are you that fucking dump?" I just stared at him."I don't fucking love you goddammit, I can't fucking pretend like I do because God knows I don't." the moment he uttered those words I felt my world crumbling down."What are you... That's not true Ace." I say as I reach my hands to touch his cheek but he just brushed my hand off." Ace you love me." I say tears already threatening to fall down my face I could feel myself shaking it can't be true he loves me."I know you might be going through some stuff right now and I'm here for you but please don't say that you don't love me please." my voice cracking at the end."I don't fucking love you and I can't do this anymore I want my fucking freedom because this is torture." he says while pointing between the two of us."Th-""then why?

    God it felt like I had been hit by a ton of bricks, my body felt so sore. That's when I flattered my eyes open and it took me awhile for them to adjust to the light and when I was finally able to get a better view I looked around and I couldn't recognize where I was. That's when I started to panic.I then without thinking I took the warm sheet and removed it off me I I started getting down from the bed only it was like my legs had a mind of their own.One moment I was on the floor the next thing I felt my legs giving out. I just held my breath and brazed for impact only just before I hit the floor a pair of muscular hands held on to me and when I looked up God I saw the sexist man I had ever laid my eyes on his eyes those eyes are the same eyes I had dreamt of. His jawline I could trace it with my finger and never get tired. His short beard the way his hair fell to his forehead."Where the fuck do you think you are going?" his voice dark and full with demand but yet it was sexy God wh

    To think I actually thought he was handsome, he is just a rude arrogant jerk, who does he think he is. I mean I did cost him his deal but it's not like it was on purpose."Okay just go thank him and leave" I tell myself.I then left the room and went looking for him but it was just endless amounts of rooms and I really had no clue where I was headed. That's when I heard a voice,so I followed the sound in hopes of finding the person.It led me to a room with endless amounts of books, I would assume it was a study of some sort but God I could get lost in those books any day."Can I help you?" I hear a voice behind me in a British accent, I then turned around and standing in front of me was another hot sexy men where do these people come from I think to myself.He looked like Mr arrogant but he was a little shorter, he was nothing compared to the other man but God he was still so hot.I realized I was staring so I cleared my throat."I-um I was looking for someone."

    "Ace please stop." I say with tears rolling down my cheeks."Oh baby you know you want this." I tried to push him off me but that seemed to tick him off and slapped me across the face and he was mad.I just put one hand on to my face looking at him in disbelief he did it again he promised he wouldn't lay his hands on me ever again.He then grabbed on to my hair tight and made me look at him it was like anger filled his eyes. "You will fucking give me what I want and don't fucking act like you don't want this because you were fucking begging me to fuck you just the other day I'm giving you what you fucking wanted."He then ripped my shirt off."Fuck baby these tits look amazing." he then took off my bra and started sucking on my breasts."Please stop.""Fucking shut up or I'll make you regret it."I couldn't just let him do this to me I continued fighting but he ended up slapping me again. It was like he enjoyed seeing me suffer and it seemed to turn him on how messed up was he.He the

    "Miss you have to eat." one of the maids says while staring at me, I'm sure I looked very lifeless."Miss you can't continue doing this to yourself you haven't eaten in days I don't know what's going on between the boss and you but miss this is not healthy." but I just ignore her cries. I just kept on staring at the wall right at the side of my bed.She just sighed and left the meal on my nightstand like she always does.I haven't been able to cope with what happened to me, I've been avoiding him but that didn't stop the pain I was feeling all the love I thought I had for him was gone.I felt tears streaming down my face and I hugged my arms tight.I then stood up and went to the bathroom and I went to my drawer and searched for what I was looking for. When I finally got it I just stared at it with its sharp sides. I just inspected it and I lifted my arm up. I tried to so hard to push myself to cut myself with the razer but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.I looked at the mirror

    As I was heading downstairs I hear voices in Ace's study at first I thought it was one of the girls Ace was cheating on me with but then that thought quickly went away when the door of his study opened and revealed the arrogant jerk. It's a wonder I don't even know his name yet I've been running into him. He was wearing a navy blue suit and it just stuck on him like glue and I'm not going to lie he looked good in it.Before I could look away his eyes met mine and to my surprise he didn't look surprised when he saw me."And who might this be." he asks Ace, that's when Ace finally acknowledged my presence by looking at me."Oh that's my wi-""No let her introduce herself to me."That's when Ace looked at me giving me a dirty look, that's when that man made his way over to me."I'm Logan Blakk." he says extending his arm towards me I just looked at it then I looked at Ace then back to Logan and I extended my hand towards him hesitantly but I shaked it nonetheless.His hand was warm and it

I look at him in disbelief."You can't keep me locked up in here like a fucking dog Ace."That's when he made his way over to me and grabbed my elbow yanking me towards him."you are hurting me!" but he ignores me how classical.He just continues yanking me towards him but I keep on resisting."Ace stop it!""Ace!" tears were swelling in my eyes."The lady told you to fucking let her go." a voice booms and that's when Ace pauses and we both look back to see that it's Logan."Who the fuck let him in?!" Ace yells but everybody just looks down. I was also confused I didn't know where he came from. It's like he appeared from thin air."The lady asked you to let her go." he repeats his voice holding so much authority."Stay out of this, this is between my wife and I." he says narrowing his eyes at Logan."Let her go." he says this time moving closer to us."P-please Mr Blakk he is right it's j

    **Logan's POV**The moment I stepped out of her apartment, the evening air did little to cool the fire in my veins. I needed to shake off the effect she had on me. **Isabella.** She was a distraction—a dangerous one. I hated the way she had gotten under my skin, but there was no denying it. This little game was getting more intense with each passing second. As I drove back to my place, I replayed the events of the evening. Her defiance, the way she looked at me when she thought I couldn’t see her. That damn spark in her eyes that made me want to both crush her and protect her all at once. But I didn’t have time for this now.Danny was waiting when I arrived. My second-in-command was leaning against the wall near the door, a cigarette hanging from his lips. “You’re late, boss,” he muttered, flicking the cigarette away and crushing it under his boot. His eyes darted toward me, reading my mood. "You good?"“Where is he?” I barked, ignoring his question. Danny nodded, understanding the s

    The evening was quiet as Isabella hummed softly, chopping vegetables in her kitchen, the warm smell of lasagna filling the small space. She had been looking forward to a peaceful night alone, just her and her homemade dinner. That’s when a sharp knock echoed through the house, interrupting the quiet.Isabella paused, the knife still in her hand. She glanced at the clock. 5:30 pm. Who would be visiting at this time? Wiping her hands on a dish towel, she moved to the front door. When she opened it, there was no one there—just a large package sitting on her doorstep, wrapped in elegant blue paper and tied with a bow. Her eyes darted up and down the street. Nothing. Not a single person in sight. A slight frown formed on her face as she bent down, hesitating for a moment before picking up the box and bringing it inside. She set it on the kitchen counter, curiosity bubbling inside her.“What the hell is this?” she muttered to herself as she pulled the bow loose and carefully unwrapped the

  • The Unwanted Wife    Logan’s POV

    Logan’s pulse hammered in his ears as he pinned her against the door, his large hands gripping Isabella’s arms tightly enough to hold her in place but not enough to hurt her. His lips crashed onto hers without thinking, the need to possess her overriding every rational thought. It wasn’t supposed to be like this—he wasn’t supposed to lose control. Not with her. But the moment her lips met his, every ounce of cold, calculated restraint shattered. She tasted like trouble and he hated it. Hated the way his body responded to her, hated the fire that ignited between them the second he touched her. He wasn’t the type of man to be moved by women, especially not someone like Isabella. "Get her out of your system," Logan’s mind growled. "This is just sexual frustration. It’s nothing more." But as his hand slipped up her thigh, gripping the soft skin under her dress, he felt her body tremble, not with desire but with fear. Panic. The second his fingers brushed the thin fabric of her underwea

  • The Unwanted Wife    Midnight Realisations

    The stillness of the night enveloped Izzy as she abruptly woke up, her mind hazy and disoriented. The quiet of the house almost seemed oppressive, the ticking of the clock on her nightstand magnifying the deafening silence that wrapped around her. She blinked several times, trying to shake off the grogginess, and slowly the events of earlier that evening came rushing back. Logan’s touch. His lips on hers. The possessive way he held her against the door. The intensity of the kiss that had left her breathless and vulnerable. She sat up in bed, heart racing as she thought about it. Embarrassment flushed her cheeks as she recalled the way she had let herself melt into the moment, how easily she had given in to the heat between them. But then… then she had panicked. The second his hand had started to trail up her dress, her body froze, not in desire but in fear. That old, familiar fear that Ace had burned into her. "Ace," she whispered under her breath, feeling a cold shudder ripple thr

  • The Unwanted Wife    Between danger and trust

    Izzy stood at the bus stop, her eyes scanning the street, lost in thought about her conversation with Ron earlier. She had managed to avoid most of his questions about Logan, but she knew it wasn’t the end. Ron would pry more—it was in his nature. But the truth? She couldn't tell him that. Not about Logan being "D." Not about the threats. Not about what she'd seen Logan do.A sleek black car pulled up in front of her, snapping her back to the present. The tinted window rolled down, and Logan’s sharp, dark eyes locked onto hers from the driver’s seat.“Get in,” he said flatly, his voice leaving no room for argument.Her pulse quickened, and she took a step back, shaking her head. "I’m walking."Logan’s gaze hardened, his fingers tapping the steering wheel with a dangerous kind of patience. “Isabella,” he said slowly,the way he said her name sent shivers down her spine"I’m not asking. If you don’t get in the car, I’ll make you. And I don’t think you want that."Her heart skipped a beat,

    Izzy sat cross-legged on her bed, idly flipping through a magazine while Ron lounged across from her, leaning against a pile of pillows. They had been hanging out for the better part of the afternoon, their usual banter filling the room with lighthearted chatter. But Ron was never one to miss an opportunity to dig into something that intrigued him.He glanced at her, then narrowed his eyes playfully. “Okay, spill it. How exactly do you know Logan? And don’t give me that ‘he just showed up’ nonsense.”Izzy felt her stomach flip, her fingers suddenly tightening on the edges of the magazine. She had been expecting this conversation—Ron was way too curious to just let it slide—but that didn’t make it any easier to navigate. How could she explain any of it without revealing too much?She put the magazine down, trying to maintain a neutral expression. “We just kind of... crossed paths.”Ron sat up straighter, his eyes gleaming with interest. “Crossed paths?

    Izzy entered the college campus with a mix of relief and anxiety. The bright morning sun illuminated the quad where students milled about, their voices a comforting background hum. She spotted her friend—Ron standing with Megan, and Josh—gathered under a large oak tree near the fountain. Ron, always the center of attention with his animated stories, had a crowd of students laughing along with him.As Izzy approached, Ron’s eyes lit up with recognition. “Hey, look who’s finally graced us with her presence! Did you get lost on a secret adventure or something?”Megan and Josh turned their attention to her, their smiles fading into expressions of concern. “Hey, Izzy,” Megan said, her voice gentle. “We were starting to worry. You disappeared pretty quickly the other night.”Izzy forced a smile, trying to push away the shadows of recent events. “Yeah, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. I had to... deal with some stuff.”Josh leaned forward, his curiosity evident. “Deal with what? You’ve got us

    Izzy descended the stairs, her head still throbbing from the events of last night. As she reached the lower level, she found Logan in the foyer, engaged in conversation with a group of well-dressed men. Their gazes fell on her immediately, and she felt a rush of discomfort under their scrutiny. One of the men, a tall figure with slicked-back hair and a designer suit, eyed her with a smirk. “Well, look who’s up,” he said, his tone condescending. “Feeling better, I hope?”Another man, stockier with a grizzled face, looked her up and down with a smirk. “She doesn’t look too great. Seems like she had quite a night.”A third man, with a neatly trimmed beard and a cocky attitude, leaned in and whispered to his companions, “Did you see the way she was dressed last night? Talk about making an impression.”Izzy felt her face flush with embarrassment. She wanted to retreat, but Logan’s presence was a stern reminder that there was nowhere to hide.Logan’s expression darkened as he noticed their

    Izzy woke with a start, her eyes fluttering open to an unfamiliar room bathed in soft morning light. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of where she was. The bed beneath her was large, luxurious, and far too comfortable to be her own. As she attempted to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her temples, forcing her to groan and lay her head back down on the pillow.Her mind was foggy, the events of the previous night a blur. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together what had happened. There had been a party… her friends… dancing… then the guy—her body tensed at the memory of him, his hands on her, pulling her into that room. Tears welled up in her eyes as the details came flooding back, a sickening knot forming in her stomach as she remembered what he had tried to do. And then, Logan. He had come for her. Saved her.Logan.The thought of him made her heart pound in a way she didn’t want to acknowledge. She remembered how safe she had felt in his arms, the way her fear had
