Chapter 111

Josh stood among the tombstones and stared at his wife’s name engraved on a white, shiny plaque.Shelly Matthews.The dates of her birth and death were printed below her name.Such a short life she had lived. She was only 27 when…He swallowed, unable to finish the thought and looked away, as if to distract himself, as if to collect himself, as if to force the weakness out of his system and do what he was there to do.When he felt his eyes wouldn’t betray him and he wouldn’t choke on the sorrow tightening around his chest, he shifted his gaze back to her, making a point to take a deep breath.He opened his mouth to say something, but only air came out.Why? He wasn’t sure. Maybe he had nothing important to say. Or maybe words would never be enough to tell her what he really wanted her to know.But what difference would it make even if he poured his heart out?Nothing. Nothing at all.For a moment, he imagined himself lying next to her, holding her hands, and tracing the lines of her pa

"HELLO THERE"

Hey there, fabulous readers!Exciting news – I'm penning my inaugural "Author's Note" for this book. Why now? Well, because I just stumbled upon this sneaky little button in the corner, inviting me to add more notes. I swear, I've been as blind as a bat!But can you really blame me? I'm more like a copy-paste person.But enough about my technological misadventures, let's talk about you guys.Firstly, I owe you a big, bold APOLOGY (yes, all caps!) for my lack of replies to your comments. Blame it on my trashy phone and its trashier touch. Typing on that thing is like wrestling an octopus. But fear not, I do catch glimpses of your lovely comments whenever I can, and they make me grin like a Cheshire cat.Thank you, thank you, thank you for diving into my work with such gusto. Your presence here means the world to me. I've got mad respect for each and every one of you.Secondly, I would like to mention that, yes, I know I have messed up a few details in the book. For example, the color of

Chapter 112

“Caleb, be careful!” Elena warned, her heart in her throat as she watched the little boy run ahead. The sea of other shoppers conveniently parted as he made his way to the toy store.Caleb slowed down just enough to glance back at Elena, a mischievous grin on his face. “Auntie Elena, you’re so slow. Are you getting old?”Elena chuckled, trying to keep up with his boundless energy, doing her best not to think about how Simon had done a thorough job of making a mess out of her, making her ache in places she didn’t even know it was possible to feel pain.Her back hurt from being pushed against the hard shower wall, and her legs still shook from the intensity of her multiple orgasms. But, it was the delicious, satisfying feeling of him being inside of her, and the warmth of him spilling himself into her that made everything worth it.A huge part of her knew she wasn’t being rational, that she was doing exactly what she had vowed not to do—fall for his charm. But dear God, how could someone

Chapter 113

Betty Adams sat in the front seat of the car and tried her best to keep her gaze on the road. She couldn’t believe her heart was still beating so fast and loud underneath her chest. Why? Because every second spent in the company of Josh Matthews was like standing in front of the burning sun.A part of her was terrified of getting burned, while the other part remained in shock, unable to believe this was actually happening. It wasn’t exactly her fault, though.For almost two long years, she had seen the man play hide and seek with death. If not for the steady beat of his heart, a passerby could easily have declared him dead. The man hardly moved over the span of several months and gave hardly any signs of waking up soon. And now, seeing him not only awake but also walking and talking and brooding in silence, she felt mad anxiety pool deep in her stomach.Even now, as the three of them (including the driver) sat in silence, her shoulders remained stiff and her eyes sharper than ever. It

Chapter 114

Elena returned from the mall, lost in her thoughts, while Caleb raced through the living room and hopped around the maids, who looked happy to see him.Elena was still thinking about what that woman named Mary had said about Simon and the island, about the island being the haven for those betrayed by the ones they trusted the most. Elena wondered if that could be the reason Simon brought her to the island in the first place.After Danika did what she did, he might have thought…Thought what? That she needed to be rescued? That she needed his protection or she would die of depression? What the hell did he think in that big ass head of his?Gosh, this man was so confusing. Why the hell was he like this? Why did he think he was some kind of savior who was born to save the world?The truth was, she didn’t even know if she wanted to be mad at him, to adore him, or just look at him, confused, and ask: what the hell are you? Why are you the way you are? Why do you do what you do? What makes

Chapter 115

Josh sat on the bed and watched as the servants of the Matthews residence pulled apart his sister’s room. If the circumstances were any different, he wouldn’t have even stepped into her room, not wanting to disturb her privacy. But this was not a normal circumstance.This was different. Very different.She had something that belonged to him, something that had the power to bring even the most powerful man in the world to his knees, something that he needed to even the scores with those who ordered the attack on him and ended up killing his wife.They needed to pay for what they did to him, and the only way to do that was to possess the key. If not, attacks would resume as soon as the news of his waking up spread worldwide, regardless of whether he had the key.“Nothing,” one of the servants said, standing up and wiping the sweat off his forehead. “There’s no key here.”But Josh had always been hard to satisfy. He stood up, not even sparing the tired man a glance. “Keep looking.” Then h

Chapter 116

Simon sat in his office and watched Elena pacing across the room.She threw her hands in the air and glared hard. “You know, this is what your problem is,” she said to him, stopping and leaning on the table. “This. All this secrecy. I hate it.”And so did he. But what choice did he have? If he told her the truth—any truth at all—there was a huge chance she would walk out on him. And as far as Simon was concerned, that couldn’t happen. He would never allow her to walk out on him, not in this lifetime.She continued, “Why can’t you just be honest with me? Why can’t you trust—?”“I trust you enough,” he said, cutting her short and earning another hard glare from those beautiful, bright eyes of hers. Right now, she looked at him as if she didn’t believe a word he was saying. And maybe she was right to think like that. He hadn’t exactly been a model husband—or lover for that matter. He would be the first to admit that he had been… complicated.She propped her hand on her waist, shaking her

Chapter 117

[Flashback]“You’re making a huge mistake,” Simon said calmly, his steely gaze fixed on the dark-haired man across the expanse of the long table. “I’m not someone you would want to make an enemy of, Mr. Matthews. I suggest you think again.”Josh Matthews scoffed, a self-assured smirk playing on his lips. “My apologies, Mr. Walsh, but once I make up my mind about something, it’s set in stone. I’m a man of my word, you see. Once I give my word to someone, even I can’t retract it.”Simon had never hated anyone so deeply. Not only had this man in front of him threatened his business, but also his reputation. And that, in Simon Walsh’s world, was an affront of the highest order.His eyes flashed with seething annoyance. “Fine. If that’s how you want to play this.” With that terse remark, he surged to his feet and stormed out of the conference room, his assistant trailing dutifully behind.As he settled into his car and closed the door, Simon finally allowed his emotions to surface. He retri

Chapter 118

“What do you mean I don’t know my brother?” Elena couldn’t help but snap, feeling her veins tighten around her face, her fingers curling into fists.It was happening again, wasn’t it?She asked him to tell him every truth he had been hiding from her and he was going to start with how little she knew of her brother. The same old song Derek had sung not too long ago. Upon asking how close he was to her sister-in-law, he had tossed the same bitter words at her, telling her how much of an asshole her brother was, how he was nothing as she had always assumed him to be.Before she could help it, her brows were furrowing and she was scooting to the edge of her seat, wanting to leave as soon as he started to say trash about her brother.Just because Josh wasn’t there to defend himself, didn’t mean everyone would speak poison behind his back. No. She wouldn’t let this happen. She wouldn’t be the witness of this idiocy.To her dismay, however, Simon seemed unfazed by her snap and continued to st

Chapter 119

Josh stood outside on the lawn, a steaming cup of coffee waiting for him at the table set outside.“We are ready, sir,” Hudson said as he sat on the table, laptop in front of him.Josh nodded and turned around. “Elena is wearing a neckpiece with a GPS, while my son is wearing a digital watch. Should that be enough?”“Yes, absolutely, sir.” The man continued typing something on the screen, his fingers deftly working over the keyboard.After a few seconds, he lifted his head again. “It’s all yours, sir. The moment you feed in the password and your fingerprints; the system will unlock for 59 seconds. That’s all the time we have before it shuts down again.”Josh sighed, feeling anxious. Do you think it’s enough time?”“It’s hard to say, sir. Depends on how far they are and how quickly our satellites can find them. It might take a few seconds or minutes depending on the location of the GPS devices. But the moment it finds them, we will get the exact coordinates in seconds. It will appear o
