Taking careful steps, a lady ascended the grand staircase of her lavish mansion with poise and grace, her billowing gown elegantly trailing behind her.Her blue dress was a masterpiece in itself, featuring intricate lace detailing and a flattering fit that accentuated her curves. She wore a matching clutch and sparkling diamond jewellery that sparkled in the dimly lit hallway.Irrespective of all the affluence around her, her eyes, once vibrant and full of life, now held a shadow of sorrow with wrinkles around them.Coming to the top of the stairs, she stood with a sad face, her features etched with an unmistakable melancholy.She had just returned from an event hosted by her company and signed two great business deals.As exhausted as she was, she was more concerned about her sick husband and returned home on time to tend to him.As she drew closer to the door of her matrimonial room, her heart raced with anticipation for what lay ahead.However, her steps faltered when she heard muf

Standing in front of the calendar picture frame of her and Nicholas on their wedding day on her make-up desk, Kiera’s eyes settled on the year—2021.It was hard to believe that she stood here, reborn after the tragic event that happened. But as much as she wished to doubt it, the pain that coursed through her body was too big of a reminder for her to forget.It was 2023 when the incident happened and looking at the date now, the mishap that occurred in her past life certainly hadn’t happened now.Kiera sat in front of her desk in her new apartment (after moving out of Nicholas’ mansion the previous day), her heart pounding with a mix of determination and anxiety as she read the content of the mail on her laptop screen.She made up her mind to break free from the nightmare that her marriage to Nicholas had become.Taking in a deep breath, she pressed the send button, sealing the fate of their relationship. The express mail containing the divorce papers was on its way to Nicholas’ offic

Kiera stood at the car park corner, her gaze fixed on the sleek black limousine. Nicholas loomed beside it, a brooding figure that sent a shiver down her spine.Her heart felt heavy, burdened by the weight of her decision.She had made up her mind—tomorrow, she would meet Nicholas to finalize their divorce and put an end to their tumultuous marriage.She wanted to avoid him now, to gather her thoughts and find the strength to face him one last time.The second she got close enough, he stepped forward, his face a mask of anger and confusion."Kiera! Where do you think you're going? We need to talk!" he demanded, his voice sharp and commanding.Kiera recoiled, her eyes narrowing. She did not intend on evading him but the menacing glare in those eyes of his sent a shiver down her spine.The past memories of his abuse flashed through her mind, igniting a fierce determination within her.She had never dared to resist him before, always yielding to his wishes, but not anymore.She had learn

The tension in the room crackled like electricity as Nicholas’ face contorted with anger, staring at the stranger in his path. His eyes burned with a mixture of fury and fear.Behind him, Kiera’s heart raced, unable to tear her gaze away from the man, Jace, who had been her defender.At the same time, Jace turned his head to the side, his gaze holding her as though asking a silent question.What she had seen wasn’t what she had expected. To her surprise, he looked more striking than Nicholas.The thought alone made her heart skip a beat as she stared at Jace.She had never seen anyone so captivating before. And despite her fear of Nicholas, her eyes remained drawn to Jace like a moth to a flame.He stood tall, his broad shoulders adorned with a fiery-maroon suit that hugged his muscular frame perfectly.His jet-black hair was styled impeccably, framing his chiselled jawline and prominent cheekbones.Amidst all of that, it was his mesmerizing blue eyes, shining with a mixture of intens

I opened my eyes, the room spinning around me, as the throbbing ache in my head intensified."Arrgh… Bloody hell! What did I do…?" I groaned out.Confusion washed over me as I tried to piece together the events of the previous night.My memory was a hazy canvas, fragmented and scattered.The last thing I remembered was drinking with Jace, a man whose presence brought both comfort and mystery and my very saviour.As the memories slowly trickled back, I was struck by a wave of shock and embarrassment.Hell, I was a mess yesterday.I recalled my frenzied behavior, my desperate plea for him to sleep with me, and even attempting to undress him.The way I kissed him, the need, how I stroked his hard on through his trousers.Gosh! Shame and regret coursed through my veins. I feel my cheeks become hot and flushed crimson from embarrassment as I realized the extent of my actions.I cover my face with both palms as the memory replayed in my head all over again.With every second, the more I fel
