All Chapters of Her dangerous desires: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 42: BlackmailLIAMI sat in my car, gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. My mind raced as I replayed the message I’d received a few weeks ago. The video clip they sent was only a few seconds long, but it was enough. Enough to ruin everything. Me, in that cheap hotel room, with someone who wasn’t Mia. I closed my eyes, shame washing over me. It had been a stupid mistake, one night, one bad decision. I had no feelings for the woman, I was drunk. But now, someone had the proof, and they were using it against me. The text that followed was clear: “Pay five hundred thousand dollars or we send this to your girlfriend and the media.”I couldn’t let Mia find out. She was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I knew I’d lose her if this got out. And worse my father would kill me his political aspirations would end. I can't let this get to the media.Whoever these people were, they weren’t just after me. They are after my family and I think my fathe

Chapter 44: JacobMIAIt’d been days since I last went to Sophie's place and called the police to check up on her. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with Sophie, every call and text I sent went unanswered. She was my best friend, my gossip partner and the silence was deafening. I knew something wasn’t right, and I couldn’t sit around doing nothing anymore.I decided to head to Sophie’s apartment. Maybe she needed space, I told myself, but deep down, I knew it was more than that. Jacob had wormed his way back into her life, and I couldn’t forgive myself for letting her slip away without a fight.When I arrived at her building, everything seemed normal—too normal. The curtains were drawn, the lights were off, and there was no sign of life. I walked around the block a few times, hoping to catch a glimpse of her or any clue as to what was going on. Nothing.I made my way up to her apartment and stood by her door, listening for any sound. The silence was deafening. My h

Chapter 46: Awaking from the nightmare SOPHIE When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the sharp smell of disinfectant and the low sound of hospital machines. My body ached all over, and it felt like I’d been run over by a truck. My head hammered, my ribs screamed with every shallow breath I took, and my arms felt too heavy to move. It took a moment for me to piece it all together. The last thing I remembered was Jacob beating me up, his fist connecting with my stomach, the blinding pain, and seeing darkness. I blinked against the harsh lights, my vision slowly focusing on the pale green walls of the hospital room. I was alive. Somehow, against all odds, I was still here. The tears came before I could stop them, rolling silently down my cheeks as relief and fear tangled in my chest. I had been so sure I wasn’t going to make it this time. I had been so sure Jacob was finally going to kill me. My thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice outside the door—a voice I hadn

Chapter 48: I didn't sleep with himSOPHIEI couldn't believe that any of this was real, Mia always did this—betray my trust. This particular betrayal hit me harder than I expected. After everything I had been through—Jacob, the hospital, fighting to rebuild my life. All the while I was trying to protect my “bestfriend” from Jacob, she was busy screwing Ethan, the man I loved. The same man we swore to stay away from.I sat on my couch, my mug of cold coffee in my hand as my thoughts wandered. My chest ached from the weight of it all. How could Mia, my best friend, the one person I thought I could count on, go behind my back like this? We had agreed. Ethan was manipulative, toxic, the kind of man who broke people and left them to pick up the pieces. I’d warned her. I’d told her how he’d used me, discarded me like I was nothing. And yet, she had still gone there. The memory of her face at the restaurant was etched into my mind. The way she’d looked so guilty as that woman exposed he

Chapter 50: I just want MiaETHANMia had been consuming too much of my thoughts lately. Not because I loved her—no, that wasn’t it. I didn’t believe in love, not really. But there was something about her. Maybe it was the challenge, the way she resisted me even though I knew she felt the pull. All I knew was that I needed to get her on my bed to get rid of these emotions.I picked up my phone and dialed her number. She answered after the third ring, her voice clipped. “What do you want, Ethan?” “Straight to the point, as always. I’m taking you somewhere. Get dressed.” “Not happening,” she shot back. I smirked, leaning back in my chair. “You don’t even know where yet.” “I don’t care where. The answer is no,” she snapped.“Do you even realize what you’ve done? A woman humiliated me at brunch because of you. Sophie’s mad at me because of you. My life is falling apart, and you’re the cause. I’m done, Ethan.” she responded, her voice shaky.Her words should’ve stung, but they did
