"Ugh, why are you so heavy?" Lina groaned, catching him before he hit his head on the floor, which would only make him dumber than he already was. Milo was one dramatic brother. He had placed a hand on his head and rolled his eyes back for more effect. ?? "Tell me you're joking," Milo wheezed out. He acted like he was on his deathbed and these were his last dying words. "I wish I was," Lina stated, shoving him off of her body. "Now stand up on your two feet like a big boy." Milo rolled his eyes…-

Once the contract was signed and set in stone, Lina went home with a copy of her own. It wasn't a wedding certificate, but it was definitely something better than that. A contract that not even her Uncle could break. Especially with the DeHaven's Young Master's name on it. Lina was honestly surprised. She didn't think Kaden would let her go home so late. Kaden had arranged for his chauffeur to drive her home. ?? Lina walked through the front door, lost in thought. "Where were you, young lady?" A…

Lina stormed down the hallway—a woman on a mission. She wasn't going to turn back. She was grateful that she hadn't signed the contract with him. Or else this was going to be one hell of a marriage she was going to regret. Instead, she kept her head high and her shoulders squared—even if she didn't know how to get home from his fortress of a house. "Lina." ?? Lina quickened her footsteps. It took him little to no time to catch up to her. "Lina, wait." Lina walked faster. She might as well…

"You promised," Anakin barked the second he walked through the door, hair swept back, eyes sharp as a sly fox. He was readjusting his tie again, his long fingers curling around the irritating piece. Anakin paused when he saw her. A woman with eyes and hair the color of the night, peering out the window, with the pale moonlight shining upon her. She was beautiful. But if she was in Kaden's office, she was off limits. ?? "Don't sound like such a scorned lover," Kaden said, a warning to his voice when…

Lina found it difficult to say anything else. The atmosphere was unbearable. She couldn't decide between running from him and running into his arms. He was still pressed close to her. Heat rolled off of his body in thick waves. "Pen." Lina swallowed. "Give me the pen." ?? Lina knew there was no other man in this world who could compete with Everett Leclare, except Kaden DeHaven himself. No other man would be accepted by her family. At least, this marriage with Kaden was a decision she made for…

This man was insane. Lina had come to this conclusion much earlier, but his behavior solidified her decision. She gawked at him, the contract, and then, back at him. He rested his chin upon a propped-up arm, smirking at her confused expression. ?? "No." Lina stood up from her chair, watching his arrogant expression drop. "No?" Kaden sharply repeated. "No." Lina shook her head, taking steps back. "Hell to fuck no." Kaden narrowed his eyes. "Don't be petty." "You rejected me the same…

Once Lina had her fill, Kaden took her to a different part of the house. She followed after him wearing the same clothes as this morning. She felt like a lost pet trailing after it's owner, especially with how quickly he walked for her. Kaden had no intention of slowing down. Lina was tired, but he continued his stride, longer and longer. ?? Finally, Lina snapped. "I'm not as tall as you. Do you have to speed walk?" Lina asked. Kaden quirked a brow, glanced over his shoulder and towards her…

One thing that Lina learned today was that in the one thousand years that had passed, Kaden's cooking had improved. He went from burning fishes caught from the river to serving her a full-course meal. Lina enjoyed every moment of his performance and meal. From the way his long fingers curled around the hilt of the knife to the way he rubbed them together to sprinkle seasoning. Within thirty minutes, he had prepared the perfect meal for her. ?? Lina's mouth watered at the sight of the perfectly seared…

Lina woke up hooked to IV drips. She groaned in confusion, hearing strange shouting in the background. "What the hell do you mean she's malnourished? Are you sure you're not some quack?!" A voice growled, a loud clattering followed afterwards. ?? "Boss!" Sebastian cried out, grabbing his Boss's hand. "He's a civilian, violence isn't the best answer…" Lina opened her eyes to see Kaden had grabbed a doctor by his collar. Her head was pounding and her eyes hurt just to open it. "What the hell?"…

After receiving Isabelle's brother's contact, Lina quickly called the number. She hoped she wasn't interrupting him during a mid-escape or something, and give away his location. No luck. ?? Lina called the number twice, but no one picked up. Holding back a sigh, she began to peer around her surroundings. As much as she was thinking of marrying a stranger, what if they turned out to be a serial killer? "Well, it's not like it's a real marriage," Lina muttered under her breath as she began to text…
