DUANTE'S POV The urge of killing him was sharp inside me. He could be a random person, eyeing my wife and someone from the troop of my enemies. Speaking to Eve was crossing my mind. I would after seeing him dead. How the f*** dare him to hold the hand of my wife? From the description, my men were telling me, he couldn't be a commoner. I exhaled slowly as I saw them driving inside the house. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out. The need to drown out the unsettling in my head was so agile, I wanted to strut toward her and hold her tight to my chest. I rolled the window down. I would find my enemy around her. They considered her my weakness. Pretty f****** true. They didn't need to know. She's my strength. "Brother, just two minutes. I'm sorry. I got late. I'll expla...." I cut him off. "Two minutes," I hung up on him. He shouldn't take responsibility when he isn't prepared to carry out his obligations. My phon
A shiver laddered along my spine. I had washed my arm more than fifty times. I could still feel his fingers clinching my wrist. I glanced down at the display. It has been more than an hour, indeed four hours. My mother called me in the hall. She and my aunties surprised me. When we returned home. My mother was waiting for me in my room. It was only a five minutes meeting. They didn't want to upset their husbands. I didn't take offense. I'm married and can understand them. A loud knock on the door broke my thoughts. I whirled, feeling a little irked. It faded immediately when I looked at my father. "Dinner is ready, Mrs Duante Rego." He said my name with hatred. I love him. But I can't endure it all the time. I don't know. Why did Daunte decide not to come? He must have planned something. We can do it in a better way like together. "You could have asked anyone to inform me, Sir," I said the last word with taunting. What! I'm his daughter. If he can
I couldn't silence the doubts in my mind. The wedding was going to take place in two days. But It has been a month. Today is the wedding day. I'm not going to attend. They kept me busy pushing work loads on me. Ignoring my questions about my husband. I didn't hear anything from Duante. I hardly see Thomas and Uncle. My heart is continuously screaming at me that something is wrong. Duante would never let a month pass without talking to me. Though, I received messages from him. Only once a week. It brings a smile to my face but it doesn't touch my heart. He should have called me instead of messaging me. It deepened my doubts. The security was tighter than I have ever seen. I tried to run away every day. Thomas is cunning. Assassin and Rocky aren't my bodyguards anymore. There are two bulky men, who never leave me alone. They never follow my orders but don't move until I follow the orders issued by Thomas. There is no window in my room. I'm going to succeed today. They can't stop me. I di
DUANTE'S POV My expression twisted with darkness. I grabbed the keys of my blue Rolls-Royce. There was only anger in my eyes. I slithered my hand in my wet hair. My best friend, more like my brother, Aarav, was getting married. He did not think to invite me. Things seemed to have changed after my memory was lost. I lost my memory in a car accident one month ago. The car was totally damaged. When I woke up in the hospital room. I don't know where Tann is. Thomas said he died in a plane crash. Thomas is married. I remember the last time I was going to act on my plan to kill Ricky. F****** freak bas****! Well! I had killed him. I didn't remember. I clenched the keys in my hands. I had to beat the hell out of Will to get the truth out of his mouth. My face was tight with anger. I'm fu****g married. When the h**k did that happen? Will had promised me to send her picture. I would shoot him if I didn't get it before sitting in my car. I could
EVELEEN'S POV Divorce! I acted brave but I wasn't. Divorce! He was out of his mind. How could he? Divorce! I fisted my hands in aggravation. His one word was echoing in my mind, cutting through my heart. I blew the air out of my lungs. I was seeing him after thirty days. I was relieved to see him. But it lasted only for a few seconds. Why does he want Divorce? Fear clawed at my chest of losing him. It made tears leak from my eyes. What has happened in these last thirty days? I got injured. He doesn't seem bothered about it. He didn't offer me any help. How could he ask his men to haul me? I looked at him. Anger flared through his gaze, his face impassive. His menacing gaze made the blood drain from my face. I was terrified by the odd silence, "Where were you?" I asked, trying to play calm. I wasn't. He asked his man to prepare the Divorce papers. My throat closed up. "Shouldn't I ask you this?" His voice was cold, his fingers
When I opened my eyes after an hour of a dead sleep. Mini was sitting in the chair. My anger flared. I huffed out a breath and turned away from her, "Get out," Two simple words. I was hoping she would understand me and leave the room. "You're not pregnant." She whispered the words so softly that they hardly reached my ears. "I know," I gave the file and began to roam my eyes over the letters. I was pregnant. And the second page was verifying that the baby belonged to him. It infuriated me. I chucked it away from me. "It's my report." Mini said, holding it. I thinned my lips, "Are you here to blackmail me? Go ahead." "No, Evie." She tried to hold my hand. I pushed myself away from her. I stared at her, "I don't care about anything. After three months he'll know the truth. You can tell him now. I have nothing to lose." Her eyes turned glassy, " Evie! You don't understand." "I understand everything. My husband lost his memory. His.
I didn't want to open my eyes and break the dream. If it were. He walked over to the door when someone rapped. I looked at him closely. His face wasn't displaying any expressions. His gaze was guarded too. I wouldn't be surprised if he treated me badly again. My stomach flipped when I stared at the v shape of his back, his skin was toned. I forced my gaze away. I was waiting for him to speak. I had a feeling I shouldn't expect anything pleasant from him. 'He's unpredictable.' He returned holding a tray. The chunk of the tray against the glass table broke my thoughts. He glanced at me. No emotion was on display. His moves were showing his abs and the curves of his muscles when he wore them. "Your breakfast." He spun and grabbed his white shirt. He slid his arms in it. His phone rang. He grabbed it and swiped to answer. He wedged the phone between his shoulder and ear. He didn't utter a word like his old habits. He began to fasten the cuff. I couldn't ho
I finished my breakfast trying not to think about anything. A Cold shiver of dread skated down my back as I heard a loud thud out of the door. I hurried out of the room. The man was on the ground, blood was running from his nose, mouth. When I looked up, I gasped and reared back, hitting the door with my back. "Evie," He advanced his steps toward me. "Assassin!" I squealed in fear. He immediately halted between us, stopping Aarav away from my back. Aarav ran his hands through his dark hair, spinning away. His back was on me. I heard him cursing multiple times. Both hands were shoved in his pockets. I looked around for Rose. Should I be scared of him? Can he harm me? "You don't need to fear?" He said, turning to me. "Why did you marry her?" I was worried about Rose. She wouldn't have been familiar with his cruel side. ''Because I love her, " He spoke softly. "I don't trust you," I took a step back. Duante had recently war
