FAITH

I stared at the contract in Blaze’s hand, my pulse pounding in my ears.

Ten million dollars.

The number blurred before my eyes, sharp and suffocating, pressing against my chest like a weight I couldn’t lift.

I had no idea.

I had signed this contract, bound myself to this agreement, but I hadn’t even read it properly. I hadn’t read it. I had been so desperate—so completely shattered—that the details had barely registered. The moment I saw a way out, I took it without thinking, without questioning, without knowing what I was really giving away.

My throat went dry, my fingers curling into fists at my sides.

Blaze tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes watching me like a predator that had cornered its prey. Then, slowly, that signature smirk crept onto his lips.

"Oh?" he mused, his tone mocking. "Now you’re quiet?"

I swallowed hard, trying to ignore the suffocating heat radiating from his gaze.

"Can’t afford the penalty, can you?"

His voice was silk and steel, wrapping around me li

    BLAZEThe room was silent, save for the low hum of the city lights flickering outside my window. I sat in the dim glow of my study lamp, staring at the crystal glass in my hand.The bourbon inside barely moved, but my fingers clenched around it like it was the only thing keeping me tethered.The memory of Faith and him kept replaying in my head like a cursed reel of film, one I couldn't stop no matter how hard I tried. Austin.The way she had looked at him. The way she had been with him.I had no right to feel the way I did.I had no right to be this angry.And yet, the fire inside m

    BLAZEThe hallway was quiet—too quiet.I stood in front of her door, staring at it like it held all the answers to the questions I didn’t want to ask.It was locked.And on the floor, untouched, was a tray of food.I frowned.I turned to the nearest maid, who was nervously wringing her hands. “How long has it been there?”“A few hours, sir,” she said carefully. “She hasn’t opened the door since she went in. We knocked, but she… she said she doesn’t want to eat.”I felt something twist inside me.She wasn’t eating.She was pregnant and she wasn’t eating.Because of me.I clenched my jaw, my hands tightening into fists as I willed myself to knock, to say something, to fix this.But I didn’t.I just stood there, staring at that damn door like a coward.Because what would I even say?Would I apologize? Would I admit that my anger, my possessiveness, had spiraled into something ugly? That my jealousy had driven me to hurt her in a way that no contract, no deal, could ever undo?I swallowed

    FAITHThe clinking of cutlery against porcelain was the only sound filling the air.No words.No glances.Just silence.The dining hall, usually bustling with quiet conversation, felt like a battlefield this morning—one where neither of us dared to fire the first shot.Blaze sat at the head of the table, his movements slow and calculated as he cut into his meal. He didn’t look at me. Not once.Not that I expected him to.My appetite had been non-existent when I first sat down, but I forced myself to eat, my hands stiff as I lifted the fork to my

If anything, it was getting worse.Just as I was about to shove the papers aside, the door to my office swung open without warning.Jared.I didn’t even bother looking up. “You knock, you know.”Jared ignored me. “What are you up to?” He strolled in

    BLAZEMy heart thundered in my chest, my breaths ragged as I stormed through the university infirmary doors.I had driven here like a madman, ignoring red lights, barely stopping for traffic.And now, as I burst into the small white-walled room, my pulse only pounded harder.There she was.Faith.Lying still on the hospital bed, her skin pale, her lips slightly parted as she breathed shallowly.I swallowed hard, my stomach twisting in a way I didn’t recognize, a way I didn’t like.I rushed to her side, gripping the cold metal railing of the bed, my knuckles turning white.“Faith,” I breathed, my voice low, rough—desperate.She didn’t stir.My chest tightened, my grip on the railing tightening as well.She looked so… fragile.Faith was never fragile. She was the most stubborn, fiery, frustratingly strong woman I had ever met.And now?Now, she looked like she would break if I touched her.A soft voice broke through my spiraling thoughts.“Sir?”I turned sharply to see a nurse standing

The bright white walls, the steady beeping of a monitor, the IV in my arm—hospital.Panic gripped me instantly.I jerked upright, my hands immediately flying to my stomach. My heart pounded.Oh my god. Is my baby okay?I pressed my palm against my belly, holding my breath, waiting—praying—for something, anything.A movement from the corner of the room caught my attention.I turned my head and saw Blaze sitting on the couch, his tall frame slightly hunched over, his elbows on his knees. His eyes were closed, h

    FAITHI watched as Blaze left the room, his steps purposeful, his shoulders tense. He was going to talk to the doctor, probably to get my reports. I let out a slow breath, leaning back against the pillows. The whole situation still felt surreal.Before I could dwell on it too much, the door creaked open again.I turned my head, expecting Blaze, but instead, Austin stepped in.He looked hesitant at first, his eyes scanning me carefully before they softened. “Hey,” he said gently, closing the door behind him.A small smile tugged at my lips. “Hey.”Austin sighed, stepping closer to the bed. “You scared me, you know.”I let out a weak chuckle. “I scared myself too.”His gaze flickered to my hand resting on my stomach. “Is everything… okay? The baby?”I nodded. “Yeah. Blaze said the baby is fine.”Relief visibly washed over him. He pulled the chair closer and sat down, his expression warm, his presence comforting in a way I hadn’t expected. “That’s good. I was really worried when you fain

    FAITHI stared at him, my mind still struggling to process what he had just said.You, Faith Adelaide.My heart pounded in my chest. His words lingered in the air, thick, heavy, and impossible to ignore.I swallowed hard, my voice barely above a whisper. “What do you mean by that?”Blaze held my gaze for a long second before he exhaled and turned his head slightly toward the driver.“This isn’t the right place to talk about it,” he said, his tone calm but firm. “Let’s go inside.”I bit my lip, my fingers curling around the car seat. I knew better than to argue when he was like this—collected but intense, as if he had already made up his mind.With a slow breath, I reached for the door handle, ready to step out myself. But before I could, Blaze moved.Effortlessly, as if I weighed nothing, he lifted me up again, his arms steady, his grip unshakable.“Blaze—” I started, my voice flustered.“Shh,” he murmured, his tone softer now, almost gentle. “Stay quiet. Let me take care of you.”My

The tension in my body hadn't eased, and every step I took only fueled the frustration simmering in my chest.But right now, none of that mattered.I needed to see Faith.I stopped in front of her room, my fingers curling into a fist as I knocked against the wooden door. “Faith?” My voice was firm but not demanding.Silence.I frowned, waiting a few more seconds before knocking again, this time a little louder. “Faith, are you awake?”

    BLAZEThe drive home was long, and my mind never settled. My fingers tapped against my thigh, my thoughts shifting between the past hour and what lay ahead.Faith.I needed to see her. To check on her. To remind myself that she was okay, that she was safe.But as soon as I stepped inside the house, a servant approached me, bowing his head slightly before speaking. “Sir, your grandfather has requested to see you.”I exhaled slowly, my jaw tightening.Of course.I wanted to go to Faith first. I wanted to see her face, to hear her voice, to know that she was doin

Slowly, I turned to look at Jared, my frown deepening.“Of course, it was him,” I said, my voice clipped, cold. “Who else would it be?”Jared raised an eyebrow, tilting his head slightly. “Well… you have a long list of enemies, so you never know. It could be anyone.”I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. He wasn’t wrong. Over the years, I had built up a solid list of people who would love nothing more than to see me suffer. Competitors in business, people I

    BLAZEThe hallway was dark, the dim glow of the overhead lights barely casting enough illumination to cut through the shadows.My footsteps echoed against the cold, tiled floor, steady and unhurried. The air was thick, heavy, humming with tension, each step pulling me deeper into the darkness.I didn’t rush.I wanted to savor this moment.Jared was already waiting for me at the end of the corridor, his expression blank, his stance rigid. His hands were clasped behind his back, his jaw set, but I knew him well enough to catch the slight stiffness in his shoulders—the barely perceptible sign that he was on edge.Good.He should

Her usual pristine elegance was overshadowed by anger, her piercing gaze burning into me.I barely had time to process her words before she continued, her tone sharp, cutting.“You put yourself in danger—worse, you put the baby in danger! What kind of reckless, thoughtless behavior is that?” she snapped, her eyes blazing.I blinked, still dizzy, my mind struggling to keep up. “I… I didn’t—”“And for what?” she cut me off. “To go to some unknown restaurant? Without security? Without even

    FAITHI woke up to the steady beeping of a monitor and the feeling of something cool pressed against my face. My body felt heavy, my limbs weak, my head pounding as though a thousand hammers were striking against it.I blinked against the harsh fluorescent light, my vision blurry, my throat raw and burning.Where was I?I tried to move, but something was strapped to my face—an oxygen mask. Panic stirred in my chest as I took a shallow, raspy breath, the memory of thick smoke and unbearable heat flashing in my mind.The fire.I inhaled too fast, coughing violently, my ribs aching with each sharp motion. A sharp pain shot through my chest, making me wince.A soft, familiar voice broke through the haze.“Take it easy, Miss. You’re in the hospital.”I turned my head slightly to see a doctor standing beside my bed, his expression calm but serious. He was flipping through a chart, his glasses slightly askew.Hospital.I was alive.I tried to speak, but my throat was too dry, too raw.The do

What’s wrong?”I didn’t answer. I was already moving.Jared cursed under his breath and followed. “Damn it, what’s going on?”I stormed out of the office, my mind spinning, panic clawing up my throat. “Faith—she’s in danger. Someone tricked her into going to La Vigna.”Jared’s face paled. &l

The buzz of employees surrounded me—keyboards clacking, hushed conversations, phones ringing.Everything was running as it should be. Efficient. Smooth. Controlled. Just the way I liked it.I nodded in acknowledgment as I passed by different departments, checking in on progress reports, offering a few words of encouragement where needed. It was a routine I had done countless times before, yet today, my mind was elsewhere.Faith.I had plans for tonight. Something simple, nothing extravagant—just something to make her happy. She had been through too much, and if I could bring he

My chest felt warm, my heart fluttering, my lips still tingling from his kiss.Blaze.Just the thought of his name sent my pulse racing, my cheeks heating up. I closed my eyes, my fingers curling around the mug, the memory of his touch, his lips, his voice echoing in my mind. I could still feel his warmth, his strength, his presence…“Good morning!”I jolted, nearly spilling my tea as Kristen’s voice echoed through the kitchen. I looked up, my heart pounding, my face flushing as I met her curious gaze.
