My heart pounded violently against my chest, each beat echoing in my ears like a warning. My legs gave out beneath me, and slowly, I crumbled onto the cold floor. My gaze locked with his, and for a moment, the world faded. It was just us—me and Jaxon—two souls tangled in a mess of love, pain, and the memories of the past.Tears glistened in his eyes, and when he finally spoke, his voice was raw, trembling."Myla... why did you leave?" His voice sliced through me, each word laced with a sense of grief so deep it made my chest ache.I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. My body refused to obey me, paralyzed by the weight of the emotions crashing over me. But Jaxon… Jaxon never looked away. His gaze was relentless, demanding answers I wasn’t ready to give.He swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his grip on my hands tightening as though he was afraid I would slip away again."That night, Myla… that one night we had together," he whispered, his voice so broken it made my chest ache. "Di

As I stepped off the plane in Georgia, the familiar sights and sounds wrapped around me like a suffocating blanket, reminding me of the day I fled with Cynthia. Memories of our desperate escape came flooding back.I turned to Cynthia, and our eyes met in a moment. " I can't believe we're really doing this. We're really back." Cynthia muttered as we exchanged a glance.Six years had passed since we'd fled this place, leaving behind the drama and the pain. And now, here we were, back in the city that held so many good and bad memories.Cynthia and I shared a laugh, a nervous, excited sound. "We made it. Finally, We're here." I mumbled under my breath as I took in the beauty of the airport. Liam looked at us, a hint of confusion on his face. "What's so funny?" he asked, a smile playing on his lips."It's just...everything," I said, shaking my head. "Being back here, it's like no time has passed at all. And yet, everything is different."Cynthia nodded in agreement. "We're different," sh

As the elevator doors slid open, she stepped out, her eyes flashing with anger. "Shall we?" she said, her voice dripping with hostility.I followed her into the luxurious space, my eyes scanning the hallway. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel Sophia's gaze on me, watching me, and I knew I had to be careful.I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was walking into a trap, that this woman was hiding something behind her beautiful facade. And what did Jaxon have to do with it all? The question swirled in my mind, leaving me breathless and eager for answers."Welcome to Jaxon Brooks' domain," she purred, her voice dripping with malice. "I'm sure you'll find it...enlightening."I ignored her taunt and my eyes were fixed on the door at the far end of the hallway. Jaxon's office. My heart was racing, and my palms were slick with sweat. I could feel her eyes on me. As we approached the door, it swung open, and Jaxon stood before us, his eyes locked on mine. The silence between u

"What the hell—are you insane? No, scratch that. You’re completely crazy!”I spat the words out, my anger boiling over as I stared at Sophia in disbelief. My chest heaved with each breath, and my fists clenched at each sides. I wanted to rip her apart, but before I could react, she lunged herself at me, slamming me to the ground. Her weight kept me pinned as she pressed her hands down on my arms, trapping them, while her knees dug into my legs, preventing any movement.I gasped as my back hit the hard surface, the shock rattling through me. Her hot breath brushed against my skin as she hovered above me, a twisted smirk curling on her lips."You think you can talk to me like that and walk away untouched?" she whispered, her eyes blazing with anger."You’re a crazy bitch," I muttered, still struggling to free myself from her grip."Oh my! I love the sound of that," she purred.Before I knew it, her hands trailed down my chest, slow and deliberate. I stiffened as she unbuttoned my shirt

There was silence; it was thick, heavy, and suffocating. And my curiosity got the best of me. Without thinking, I found myself moving toward the window of Jaxon’s office, quietly peeping through the glass.Jaxon's jaw tightened, his fingers curling into fists on the desk, as his entire body trembled with rage. I held my breath as my heart pounded so hard I could hear it.Damien leaned in, his voice dropping to a cold whisper. “You may hate it, but without your marriage to Sophia, you’re nothing. And neither is the Brooks empire.”Jaxon’s chair scraped against the floor as he shot to his feet, “Get. Out. Now!”Damien let out a low chuckle, stepping back slightly, “You think this is over? Think again, brother. And don’t say I didn’t warn you.” “Leave now, Damien. I know why you’re doing this. It’s because of her, isn’t it?”Damien smirked, tilting his head. “And you still don’t see it, do you? You’re throwing away everything for a woman who doesn’t deserve it. Have you forgotten who So
