59- A HEALTH CLUB REVELATION

LILA I stirred and slowly opened my eyes. The first sight that greeted me was Blaise, his figure emerging from the closet, his muscles subtly defined beneath the snug fit of workout shorts and a t-shirt. Sunlight streamed in through the window, outlining his frame in a soft glow that seemed to pulse with the rhythm of his strides. "Oh, great, you're awake," Blaise chirped, striding up to the bed and taking a seat by the edge, the mattress dipping slightly under his weight. It had been five days since I was discharged from the hospital, and I felt vibrant and ready for anything. However, Blaise wouldn't allow me to leave the bed, let alone the room. He treated me like royalty, but it felt like I was helpless. He brought me breakfast in bed, helped me into the shower, although he left the room while I showered, and even selected my daily attire. The only time he permitted me to venture outside was for our evening garden walks. Despite my protests of feeling fine and strong, I cher

60- SELF DEFENCE LESSON

LILA "The first lesson," Blaise began, his voice steady and firm, "is to remain aware of your surroundings at all times. Always stay vigilant." He glanced at me, emphasising the importance of his words. "Attacks often happen when you least expect them, like when you're engrossed in your phone or trying to enter your car. Do you comprehend this?" "Yeah," I replied, although my mind was still wandering back to last night when Blaise had whispered sweet nothings into my ear. Suddenly, Blaise seized my wrist, expertly twisting my arm behind my back before slamming me against the wall. His body pressed firmly against mine. "What are you doing?" I nearly cursed in pain. "See how simple that was?" he whispered, sending shivers down my spine. "You're not focused." With that, he released me. "I'm releasing you now, but an attacker won't." I rubbed my throbbing wrist, my face crumpling in a frown. "You should have warned me that you were starting." "Because your attacker will surely

61- FIRST NIGHT

LILA The moment Blaise entered the house, his presence was announced by the thunderous slam of the front door that sent a tremor through the walls. His footsteps reverberated with a foreboding echo, as he traversed the living room, paced down the hallway, and assailed the staircase, each step sounding louder, like he was crushing spiders beneath his feet. He muttered commands to someone, though I couldn’t make out the words. It made my heart race; I knew something was terribly wrong.Blaise burst open the bedroom door, startling me, but I pretended to be asleep. His silhouette lingered, framed by the doorway as he exhaled a burdened sigh, an unspoken surrender to the quiet, before moving slowly and quietly toward the side of the bed. My body tensed as I felt the weight of his gaze tracing the contours of my form, but he didn’t speak or touch me. When he didn’t move, I cautiously opened my eyes just enough to see his face. His jaw was clenched, and he stared down at his fingers in

62- A SHOCKING REVELATION

BLAISE When Lila and I finally crawled into bed, I expected to sleep soundly. After the whirlwind of the past few days and the intense sex we had in the shower, exhaustion weighed heavy on my mind and body. Instead of drifting into slumber, I found myself wide awake, gazing at Lila as she peacefully slept beside me. I wanted to etch every perfect detail into my memory—the gentle rise and fall of her chest in repose, the way her curls framed her face, her rosy, inviting lips, and her dark, lush lashes and brows. Each detail was precious, a safeguard against a future when we might be apart. The revelation of an ominous "ghost" lurking around me gnawed at my thoughts. The last thing I desired was for Lila to be harmed in any way. I knew she would be furious, perhaps even contemplate leaving if she discovered my initial motive for marrying her, which had now become secondary. So, I kept my silence, no matter how selfish that might make me, understanding that some truths were best l

63- A TRAITOR AND A NIGHTMARE

AUTHOR'S P.O.V. In the stillness of the night, a massive black wolf prowled gracefully around the slumbering men scattered on the forest floor. His nostrils flared as he meticulously sniffed each of them before dashing across the boundary where another wolf, cloaked in rich brown fur, waited in anticipation. They stood, nose to nose, an unspoken dialogue flowing between them, until the brown wolf yielded, melting back into the embrace of the dark woods. The black wolf hurriedly returned to the sleeping warriors, only to be interrupted by the rustle of leaves and the muted sounds of approaching paws. "Erick," boomed a voice tinged with disbelief and the weight of betrayal. The other wolves, concealed in the shadows of the woods, emerged from their hiding spots. They encircled the big black wolf, teeth bared in a menacing display of hostility. Leo, taking on his human form, stepped out of the darkness, holding a cloak in his hand. "You are the traitor," Leo stated ca

64- PROMISES OF WRATH

BLAISE Erick's cries pierced the air as I approached the winery's entrance. Apathetic to his pain, the guards bowed deeply, granting me passage through the imposing doors. Inside, Erick was a battered shell of a man, restrained to a chair. His body was a canvas of torture, painted with blood and marred by the lashes he had endured. His left eye was swollen shut, and blood seeped from his wounded fingers, staining the floor beneath him. Clad only in his shorts, the scars and welts on his skin told a story of relentless punishment. I observed him coldly before shifting my gaze to Leo, who stood in the shadows, overseeing the warriors as they dealt their harsh punishment. "What has he confessed?" I inquired of Leo. Leo shrugged, a sombre expression on his face. "Nothing. His loyalty to his master runs deeper than we anticipated." A heaviness settled in my chest. Betrayal seemed to haunt me, even when my intentions had always been good. While Erick's betrayal didn't c

65- CONFLICT

LILA I was running mad. I had not set my eyes on Blaise for two days and no one was eager to tell me what was going on. There was no sign of Erick anywhere too, which made it even worse. My nerves were frayed, twitching with the anxiety that gnawed at my insides, but the only thing that had kept me a little insane was that Leo and some of Blaise's inner circle members were not around. Maybe they were on a mission or something, but why didn't he tell me before he left? I couldn't concentrate on anything because my mind had been running wild ever since. I was still grappling with the shocking revelation Erick had disclosed to me, and I was unsure how I would react when I finally laid eyes on Blaise. I tried to convince myself that everything was fine, that the warriors' mysterious behaviour and their vigilant surveillance of me, tracking me as if I might evaporate with a blink were normal, but deep down, a sinking feeling persisted, an unease I couldn't shake. After snapping

66- THE CONFERENCE

BLAISE In the muted light of dawn, I awoke, disoriented, on the cold floor in front of my bedroom door. Memories of the previous night flooded through my mind, each one a sharp reminder of my foolishness. Lila had banished me from our room, a justified measure for my inexcusable action of striking her in a moment of unbridled anger. Despite my relentless apologies since last night, a chasm of guilt and regret yawned within me. I couldn't shake off the remorse for having let my rage overwhelm me. It was her accusations of my infidelity with Amanda, and of slanderous gossip that had ignited my fury, leading to that unforgivable slap. But even as I regretted my actions, a nagging suspicion about her knowledge of Erick's master lingered in my thoughts. I would apologize for striking her, but I wouldn't let that matter rest. Running my fingers through my dishevelled hair, I reached for the door handle, bracing myself for another round of apologies. To my astonishment, the

67- ALPHA LANCELOT

LILA "You should wear a smile on that face, Lila. There are cameras everywhere, and we wouldn't want anyone suspecting that things aren't going well between us. Remember our agreement in the contract?" Blaise whispered in my ear as we took our seats, Amanda having just left our table. Fury simmered within me, but I managed to force a smile and turned to face him. I saw his own smile unfold, but I could see the falseness in his eyes. To any onlooker, we appeared to be a loving couple. "I can certainly pretend everything's fine if you stop behaving like a complete jerk," I hissed, my teeth gritted in suppressed fury. "I'm not as dumb as you seem to think, my dear husband. I do know what the contract stipulates." I reached out and rubbed his arm, underlining the sarcasm in my tone. His smile remained, but there was a fiery intensity in his gaze. I knew he wouldn't dare do anything in front of these people, so I felt emboldened to push his buttons further. " Stop bei

68- A BRUTAL CONFRONTATION

LILA Blaise and I maintained a stony silence for the rest of the conference. The silent tension lingered in the air like a thick fog even as we left the conference. He decided to drive the car himself on our way back, leaving me seething with irritation over his encounter with Amanda. The urge to confront him about their meeting gnawed at me, but his stern countenance and an unwavering grip on the steering wheel held me back. My only recourse was to shoot him venomous glances. "Why are you staring at me? Do you have something you want to tell me?" he finally broke the silence, not sparing me a glance. I couldn't help but release a bitter chuckle. "Oh, it's nothing, Blaise. Just admiring how effortlessly you can mingle with old flames while leaving your loving wife to fend for herself," I quipped, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Amanda must have been thrilled to have you all to herself at the conference." Blaise's jaw clenched even tighter, but he kept his eyes on the r
