Back to the day Astrid presented her divorce papers.Rowan rumbled nonstop, causing under his breath as he stared at the signed divorce papers his wife had given to him.His stomped his left foot in agitation, glaring back and forth at the papers and the lawyer she had submitted it to for finalization in court."Mr. Wade...""Burn it all." He growled, terrifying the poor lawyer to death."but I have already sent the document to the magistrate court...""Do you not like your job anymore? How dare you send those documents without informing me? If you don't want to face my wrath, you better find a means to withdraw the grant," he coldly said before walking out of the lawyer's office.He was extremely furious that Astrid had taken matters into her hands without confronting him properly. The fact that she went through his company's lawyer and faced the biggest betrayal from him made him go crazy.There was no way he was going to let her go. Especially when her birthday is tomorrow. He to
It has been a week since Astrid encountered Rowan. After their nerve-wrecking argument, Rowan steered out of her way. There was no sign of him in the mansion he had locked her in. Astrid felt dejected and depressed from everything he was doing to her.She even went ahead to go on a hunger strike. If he wasn't going to show up and take responsibility for what he has done, then she would do the unforgivable."Young Miss, please let us in. Mr. Wade will kick us out if he finds out that you starved yourself for a week," A maid complained, banging at Astrid's door.Rowan had left her and some other maids in charge of Astrid's welfare until he came back. But none of them were finding it easy to carry out their jobs. Astrid decided to be a thorn to them just to get back at Rowan.She knows he would panic if he found out that she starved for a week. And she plans to put the blame on him. However, her little protest was not an easy one. She could barely lift her finger let alone stand up an
The cold silence of the night added to the intense atmosphere created by Rowan and Astrid. They were both seated, facing each other across a large s-shaped dining table.Neither of them wanted to talk, but their eyes held so many questions that needed to be answered.After a short while, when Astrid got up to leave, He decided to break the silence between them. "Please, sit down.""Please? That does not sound like you." "Will you like it if I had asked harshly?""That will depend on how you say it."Rowan narrowed his eyes straight at her as they darkened. "Sit down, Astrid." He commanded with a cold voice."That's better." Astrid sat back on her chair and looked straight at him.He got up from where he sat, walked over to the side she was sitting, pulled out a chair beside her and sat down. She stared at him confused, questioning his behavior with her gaze."Don't just look at me, say something if you want to. I won't bite you if you do," Rowan said, then abruptly pulled her chair
"WHAT! No, I don't want to share a bed with you." Astrid protested but he ignored her tantrums and embraced her, covering the sheets on her bed over their body."I promise I won't touch you or do anything inappropriate as you say," he muttered trying to convince her to agree to his idea."You already DID! How am I supposed to trust you the second time? Get out of my bed!" She raised her voice at him adamant about her choice.Rowan slightly rolled his eyes and sighed. He wished Astrid wouldn't be so stubborn. All he wanted was to lay beside her and embrace the emotions that had been erupting within him."Be quiet, Astrid." He declared with a cold voice."Now you are getting mad at me? Wow..." Astrid said in surprise but her remaining words were swallowed when he kissed her."I thought you said you won't do anything inappropriate to me.""Yes, I did. But each time you complain, I will kiss you.""You, pathological liar..." He kissed."Butter head." Another kiss."Tyrant." He trailed kis
After hearing those words from Astrid's lips, Rowan threw all caution out of the window and kissed her like it was his last.She matched his pace, hurriedly working her hands on the button of his shirt. He let her undress him, kiss and bite every part of his body she wanted to leave a mark on. Once they were out of their clothes, Astrid wrapped her hands around his neck pulling him down to her body until their chests were merged.She let out a breathy gasp as Rowan entered inside her, filling her with his largeness and length."You are so big," she moaned, digging her nails into the flesh of his back as he moved in deeper."I know. And you have the right hole for me." he muttered inside her mouth.Astrid has always known that he was large but didn't think it was this huge. The first time they had sex, Rowan didn't try much or even have interest in her then, because he didn't fill her just the way he was doing now.When he began to thrust his hips in and out of her, Astrid felt like h
Two weeks went by without the two love birds noticing. Rowan took her on dates within the remote area he captured her in. They had great times with each other and also had sex at intervals. They grew so attached to each other to the extent that they found it hard to be apart.Even now that they were spending time on the deck by the lake in the backyard of the remote cabin, Rowan just couldn't get his hands off her."At this rate, I might end up getting pregnant if you keep touching me like this," Astrid said rolling her head back as he fondled her breasts."Isn't it obvious that I want you to have my babies. I would die to have you birth little replicas of you," he teased and she chuckled, giving him a light kiss."How did you find, here?" she asked, switching their positions, where she is on top of him while he serves as her body mattress."This place has always been my quiet place. I come here to think most of the time and remember my parents.""So it was like a get away from me?"
Even in the midst of happiness and bliss, there were still some people who couldn't find a bit of sunshine.Victoria was hit across her face so hard that she spat out blood from her mouth."You had only one job, Victoria. One fucking job. Make that bastard fall in love with you and make Astrid leave him. Why do I have to fucking do things around here myself!" Her boss roared, pointing a gun at her head. The man she worked so hard for and loved couldn't even show her a sheer of peace."I promise, I will get things done properly. Just don't dispose of me yet," she begged him, holding on to him as her heart ached and cheeks burned.His expression softened up a bit after he heard her words and he extended his hand and caressed the cheek he had smacked."This is the reason why I like you. So persistent and diligent. You better not fucking fail my expectations again," he said, roughly pulling her head until their lips were inches apart. "As long as you are a good girl, I will reward you in
"Cherry on top," Astrid muttered softly as she whipped some cream together.Rowan kissed her lightly on the lips and rested his head on her shoulder while his hands wrapped around her waist.He keenly watched her make their breakfast. "So when are you going to let me leave our little bird nest?" she asked. Not that she was getting bored of being locked up in a particular place with just the two of them.She needed to get back to work. Nelson would probably be preparing to eat her alive for abandoning him with so much responsibility on his shoulders."Why?""Don't ask me why. You know I was abducted by you. My parents will probably be raking through the city looking for me, I left my company without a trace and Rose will think that I abandoned her. I need to go back and you too. Noah needs you," she said, trying to convince him."It's going to be us. When we return, it's going to be the three of us and no one else." he said with a strong possessive tone.Astrid chuckled loving how ser
The next morning, Astrid woke up designed with hickeys and bite marks. She felt so sore from last night's escapade. Rowan made a promise to trap her in bed and he fulfilled it just in a of dark pleasure.He was lying by her side, his right hand cupping her butt cheek as he was asleep. Astrid took her time admiring his godlike features and couldn't help the flutter that bloomed in her chest. He was gorgeous.Her skin flushed red from the naughty thoughts she recaped in her her from last night. Rowan had taken her rough and raw, making come countless times.She loved him, always did and doubted she would stop heart from exploding for this man that made her insides turn out.Subconsciously, she began to trace his facial features. First, she lined his brows, when down to his pointy straight nose and finally traced the lips that made her see a whole different universe in one night.He groaned from the effect of her fingers on his lips and sucked them into his mouth, shocking her in the p
It has been two days since the breaking incident. Rowan seemed to have gotten things under control but not in a very friendly manner.On Astrid's tablet, she watched the news about a group of thugs who were burned in a fire, after being brutally beaten. Their death was a tragic one since they were the same gang of thugs that had burned down the factory a week ago.She turned off her tablet, knitting her brows into a frown. She was displeased, not because she pitied them, but because their death was rather unsatisfying.Rowan came out of the bathroom just in time as she was about to leave the room."Where are you going?" he asked, trying his wet hair with a towel."I need to get some fresh air." she muttered, turning her back on him. He took three large steps, covering the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her waist, trapping her against his freshly showered body."What are you doing? Dry yourself up or you will catch a cold." she mumbled out of concern as he buried hi

He scanned the room for Astrid and found her at the balcony, holding her bleeding arm. His eyes dilated with fear as he rushed over to her."What happened?" he held onto her arm, putting pressure on her wound to stop the bleed.She looked at him, afraid of what she was about to tell him. Gerald who was behind them sensed that she wanted him to leave, and stepped out of the room giving them their space. He had followed Rowan up out of panic because he thought that something bad might have happened.Once Astrid was comfortable enough, she decided to explain what happened."I slipped and fell," she muttered nonchalantly and Rowan could tell she wasn't saying the truth.The way she was trying not to shake, avoiding his gaze while in shock was all he needed to know that she was lying to him.

And when he stumbled upon her in the kitchen, faced with his foolish cousin —That's how he likes to address him."My favorite cousin in the world!" Gerald dashed over to him, trying to hug him but Rowan murderously glared at him
Noah slept in between his parents just for safety reasons. The little boy was not dumb and he did see his father clearly but pretended not to just to save his Mom from embarrassment.This was one of the reasons Rowan didn't want them to come down to the city. Not that he didn't care about he son, but wanted Astrid only to himself. This was the extent of his selfishness.Along the line, Noah fell asleep and this time, Rowan made sure he was in a deep slumber before he snuck Astrid out, replacing Noah's sides with pillows.He carried Astrid who was sleeping into another room, making sure to lock it before placing her on the soft bed.Rowan's movement stirred her awake and she groaned softly, rubbing her sleepy eyes."What time is it?" she yawned."Midnight.""And why are you still up? Get some sleep. Come here." She opened her arms gesturing for him to come over.He gladly fell into her embrace, laying his head on her soft breasts and using them as a pillow.To him, this was divine. A c

They had dropped Rose and Nelson off after they were done having lunch together, particularly because Rowan wanted them gone.Their arrival caught the attention of Grandma Wade and Noah who were outside gardening.When Astrid got out of the car, the little pumpkin's eyes lit up with delight."Mom!" he yelled, dashing down to her."Oh, my. Be careful while running. You might hurt yourself." Astrid ran over to him and embraced him like he was her real son."I missed you so much Mom," he mumbled with an adorable voice that struck Astrid's heart.The way the embraced and kissed each other made it impossible for anyone to believe that they were not related.Astrid loved him so much because he looked exactly like her current obsession. The man that caged her heart and tossed the

I don't know why my author's note is not showing at the end of the chapter. Happy reading.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••After getting Rowan to agree on her terms, they finally left for the city leaving their cozy love nest behind.They left first thing in the morning and by the time it was mid-day, they were in Los Angeles.Astrid was amazed that Rowan drove to such length just to get her out of the city. He literally, crossed the border of another town within its remote area just to hide her from the others.Once they arrived at her house where Rose and Nelson were already impatiently waiting, Astrid was snatched away from her possessive kidnapper."I am fucking going to call the cops!" Rose scowled, doing a quick recheck on Astrid's body to see if she was whole."Don't be silly.
The next day, on the east side facing the coast of the city, some men were brutally beaten up. The thugs Victoria had hired were energetically looking for their target.But what they didn't know was that their targets were not easy people to find. And when they failed to track even the easiest Intel about them, they took it out on innocent people."I will ask you one last time." the Big Boss leading the gang grumbled with a threatening voice, squatting down to look at the men his thugs had battered."Do you know this people?" he asked coldly.The tied up men trembled in fear for their life and had no other choice but to tell them what they knew."Yes...the woman by the left with a blonde hair is our boss and the man in the other picture is her ex-husband. I don't know anything about the kid, I swear." One of them revealed out of fear."I knew you were reliable." the boss grinned then signaled his men to take care of the rest.The factory men were roughly dragged back into the building
Astrid squeezed her left eye shut as she received a full scolding from Rose. Rowan finally let her make contact with the world by returning her phone."Do you know how many times I called you?!!!!!!!! Nelson has been doing your work for weeks! Your parents have been on a high train thinking you were kidnapped!" Rose nagged her.‘I was actually kidnapped.' Astrid muttered in her mind, throwing Rowan a side glance."So when are you coming back?! And why does it have to be him again? I don't like that ex-husband of yours. How can he steal you away from me for weeks?! Does he even know how important you are to me, to us. When you return, I am going to call the police and report him for abduction." Rose rumbled furiously and Astrid couldn't help but put her on a loud speaker just for Rowan to hear."I don't like your friend, Love. And if she thinks she can share you with me then I am going to keep you here," He grumbled, getting pissed off by Rose's words of possession."Did he just say th
