61 | “I… This… You… I…”

He shouldn’t be kissing her. Not so soon, anyway.He had decided to hold back, to let this mess they were in be sorted out first before finally giving in to all those desires he had been holding back for so long. But then she came to where he had asked her to, looking all concerned and frightened for him, and he couldn’t help himself.The voice that had been telling him to back off and leave this girl alone for his brother, whose heart he had already broken once, suddenly drowned in front of a different voice, one he had been suppressing all this time. That voice was louder now, almost booming and echoing, rushing through his veins and itching his hands to hold her and bend her over something hard.Fuck, he couldn’t think of anything more satisfying than to press himself against her and devour her until her sweet taste was branded on every inch of him. He didn’t want to hurt her in any way, but right now, all he could think about was to k

62 | “Not right now."

Carmen shifted in her chair, unable to find a comfortable position. She felt like a kid who had stolen candy from the jar, and now, not only did she have to act oblivious to the obvious theft, but also hide all traces of it from all over her mouth.Shit. She was in so much trouble.Why the hell did she let herself get swept away by that kiss? Why couldn’t she refuse and push him away? This was not what she was looking for, was it? Another fleeting pleasure that would surely end with her heart being broken.No. She was right. What they did was wrong. All wrong. All of it.She shook her head, trying to toss that memory out of her mind.“Carmen?” Grandpa’s concerned voice pierced though her daze, and she couldn’t help but snap her eyes open and find him gazing at her, worry written all over his elderly face. “Are you alright, my dear?”Was she?Not even in the slightest.&ldq

63 | "Could that be true?"

The whole cursed night was spent tossing and turning in bed.Why, you may wonder?That’s because her body had never burned that way in her life, the way it did in those unbearably agonizing hours.She couldn’t really explain it—the kind of horrible torture it was. The kind of torture that felt more and more hazardous as the clock ticked away, constantly providing her with a nourishing dose of reminders that Ronin was just a tiny distance away. The man she had crushed on for such a long time. The man she had hoped would be a better husband. The man she had hoped would stop being a stranger in their unconventional marriage. The man she had spent her nights hoping would turn over a new leaf one day and touch her the way her whole body would writhe under his warmth.Carmen vividly remembered the way her mind would conjure up strange yet beautiful fantasies of them in her dreams. With him being the one who would make her he

64 | “You don’t know?”

During the entire ride to the office, Carmen couldn’t suppress the butterflies bouncing around in her stomach.She tried but failed. She tried again and failed again.But instead of getting frustrated or growing agitated, like she usually would when something didn’t work out despite all her efforts, she realized it was the kind of game she didn’t mind losing. Her heart was at peace for some reason, as if his promise to court her after the storm around them settled down was evidence of his genuine intentions toward her. It was as if this phase was a test, and if he passed, she shouldn’t mind giving him a chance. After all, Ronin wasn’t known for his patience. No, not at all.Ronin had always been the impulsive one, while his brother was the one who could easily be called a saint. No one had ever seen the big Logan brother burst out ever. But Ronin? Ronin couldn’t keep his anger at bay even if he tried. He was like a big grumpy

65 | "A problem named Carmen Price.”

Eric breathed out a heavy sigh, glaring at the man sitting across the table. The man appeared as cool as a cucumber, unfazed by the words Eric had just thrown at him. It frustrated Eric to no end that, despite everything that was happening and felt out of control, the man in front of him remained unruffled.How? Eric silently brooded. And why?“This is getting out of hand,” he said, shaking his head and continuing to pace the room as he had been since he heard about the internal audit. It still annoyed him immensely. Not only because he never expected Carmen to be bold enough to make such a significant decision on her own—she was new after all, what did she know about running a company?—but also because she was the same Carmen he was head over heels for. No matter how many problems she created for them, he couldn’t bring himself to hurt her. Not like they had done in the past, to all those people who threatened

66 | "I was just… curious.”

Carmen stared at the deflated front wheel of the car and sighed heavily.“How long is it going to take?” she asked Joy, the driver, glancing around them and trying not to grow restless.This was her first time facing a predicament like this one. She had never been stuck in the middle of nowhere before. She was supposed to be at her apartment by now, with Grandpa and Molly waiting for her. They needed to discuss what had happened, and Grandpa deserved more than just an explanation over the phone about why she had a sinking feeling that Eric had something to do with everything going awry in the company.She didn’t have much proof for now, true. The auditing team hadn’t shown any signs of anything unusual going on, but she knew there were hundreds of ways the evidence could have been wiped out.Joy stood up after checking the problem, scratching his head. “Not more than fifteen minutes. I’ll change the tire right away.&rdq

67 | "I’m here now."

Carmen wasn’t sure what to do.If it were one or even two men wanting to shove her into a creepy-looking car, she would have fought tooth and nail and run as fast as she could. But there were three of them, and that one extra man changed the whole damn equation. The power of dominance not only shifted in their favor, it practically fell into their laps.Three men against a woman? No, that was not the fight she wanted to know the consequences of. They could easily catch her one way or the other if she made one more attempt at running, and if she tried to be more difficult than they wanted to deal with, she knew they could physically hurt her without thinking twice.With all the news about crimes against women all over the world, she knew her chances to survive this were better if she did her best to not lose her head.“Come on, we don’t have all day,” the leader of the three, the guy with the ponytail, pushed Carmen towards the othe

68 | "I don’t want to hear anything."

“How long is it going to take?” Someone huffed, not sounding happy. “It’s already been three days.”“Give it some time. Her body has gone into shock due to the accident. The way she was brought in, you should be glad she at least survived,” another one replied, tired.“I understand, but I’m sure there must be something more you could do. She can’t lie like that forever—”“Enough with you two,” a new voice chimed in, and then came the touch that settled on her forehead and stroked until Carmen’s half-awakened mind lulled back to sleep. However, not before the same gentle voice whispered into her ear. “Let her rest.”  * * *“Why isn’t she waking up, Aunt Will?” In the darkness of her mind, a soft voice rippled in the distance, too far away to be real. &ldq

69 | “Don’t be so hopeless, son."

Carmen wanted to scream her head off, she really did. But that was one thing she couldn’t do because screaming would require a bit of stamina, and she clearly didn’t have much to spare. She was barely able to stand and breathe on her own.“What happened, sweetheart?” Simon continued, looking amused as hell. He returned in front of her, cocking his head to the side, hands sliding into the pockets of his pants. “Cat got your tongue?”Internally, Carmen groaned, simply cursing her miserable luck, before letting her eyes fall shut and her fingers stroke her temple.It was all still so confusing in her head, especially the night of the crash. She remembered being kidnapped for sure, but what she couldn’t pinpoint were the people who came to her rescue.Of course, Carmen was not as stupid or far gone for a case. She could tell Simon had a hand in this, and so did that woman from earlier. But what made absolutely no sens

70 | “You’re home.”

Carmen watched as the nurse fixed her IV, smiling at her when she was done. “Can you tell me how long before I feel better enough to take care of myself?”The nurse beamed back, checking other vitals on the screen. “Maybe another week or so, but to be honest, it all varies from patient to patient. Some understand the gravity of their health and take very good care of themselves, and then there are some…”Carmen didn’t need to ask in which category the nurse had fitted her. “I never really liked hospitals, they make me anxious.”“Well then, good for you,” the nurse looked around and shrugged. “You’re home.”Hardly, Carmen thought, but didn’t say out loud.  * * *Eric sat in his office, going through some papers on his desk when the door to his cabin was shoved open, and in came his ever-raging younger
