Zia Hidalgo knew she was asking for too much. Her husband, Damien‘s heart came with a hefty price. A price that could never be paid, even if she slaved for him for years and abandoned her dreams just to remain by his side, supporting him from the shadows for three years. But what happens when in just one day, all that Zia has ever wanted is dangled in front of her and snatched away by the same family and man that she had sacrificed her soul for in the most cruel way? Zia decides the best way to get her pound of flesh back is by destroying the one thing that Damien loves more than anything in his life. His pride and career. …and what better way to do it than to steal the heart and attention of Ethan Hawkins, the Nation’s most wanted husband and her ex-husband’s Boss. Ethan Hawkins is the man who would go to hell and back for the woman he loves, even if she’s clearly a manipulative daredevil. At least she was HIS. His Little Daredevil.
View MoreVictor, the guard at the gate of the Martinelli’s residence had a terrifying nightmare, just before his morning shift.He had woken up in sweat, and slowly forgot all about that silly dream as he went about his day.However, the sight before him at this moment had him covered in goosebumps and absolute fear.A pale ghost was approaching him in the form of a woman!Her steps were irregular, almost limping. She was in a hospital-like gown with streaks of blood on her hand!As she got closer, Victor’s jaw dropped. His eyes suddenly went wide with surprise.“Mrs Martinelli?!Zia’s eyes held no life in them as she motioned for the stunned guard to open the gate. Her fingers tightened around the document and the phone in her trembling hand. They were the only things she could grab while leaving the hospital. Her body was in a terrible state, but her mind was even more muddled up. She had called her husband’s line all the way but the line kept getting disrupted midway.In the early hours of
“Hurry! We are losing her!”“We have to stop the bleeding first!!”“Fuck! She’s pregnant!”“…and the baby?”Zia’s mind and body were numb. Her eyelids felt too heavy. Despite the noise around her and the voices that kept shouting that she should keep her eyes open, her entire strength was gone.“Baby…” she mumbled, but they couldn’t hear her.Her chest was rising and falling rapidly. Her fingers moved slowly as she tried to get their attention, but her strength was barely hanging on, and they were too weak to draw attention. “My.. b..aby..”Zia’s eyelids finally gave in and her hands fell to the side.~It was a busy day at work for the emergency unit of the hospital, yet the doctors and nurses on duty looked at the still unconscious patient on bed number five with extreme pity.This woman had been involved in a life-threatening accident but her family was nowhere to be found. They had called three emergency lines on her phone. The first and second were ultimately unreachable and the
There were lively decorations everywhere and a little crowd of maids and servants stood with smiles on their faces as she approached.“Happy birthday, Mrs. Martinelli!” They exclaimed in unison as confetti exploded in the air.Zia was confused for a moment.What the hell was going on?Was there another Mrs. Martinelli in the house?Wait. Right. Her mother-in-law, Madam Charlotte was also Mrs. Martinelli….Zia’s thoughts immediately halted when Damien emerged from behind the household staff. He was dressed in an office suit and smiling brightly at her. But what caught Zia’s attention was the single red rose in his hand, which he handed over to her.“Happy Birthday, Wifey.”“Damien!”It was her! Zia had woken up nauseous in the morning and had been occupied with the test, so she didn't even notice it was her birthday.However, this setting was strange to her.She had counted two birthdays in this home before today and neither of them had been anything special. One time, Damien had left

Twenty-one, when I chose to spend the rest of my life with him, and exactly Twenty-three, when I found out…I was pregnant.Like every naive, young girl, in love, I fell hopelessly in love with Damien at first sight. I’d bumped into him at a coffee shop, which coincidentally nestled at a corner between the brick walls of my academy’s building and Damien’s top entertainment company where he worked as a branch manager.He was a walking Greek god, handsome, with brown amorous eyes, a freaking hot smile, and regrettably, a man with a long line of female admirers.After a month of stalking his social media handles, and loving him in secret, I finally struck gold when my best friend and confidant, Kate invited a friend of his to a party and Damien tagged along, unaware.“Zia.”He had called my n
