Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Baby, My Revenge: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Erin's POVIf my parents knew what I was up to, I’m certain they’d arrange my abduction and send me straight to some bible camp to be reformed.I thought I knew what it meant to be turned on, but whatever is happening right now is something straight out of a fantasy novel…. No, this was even a step further than that.And it was my life now. Everything was happening so fast, but I didn’t care to stop it. I’d been the good girl, tucking away my love of dancing to become the image of perfection for Rowan and his family. I’d been the perfect wife to the point that I’d disillusioned myself into believing my marriage was the epitome of perfection. I’d even swallowed down the news that Rowan cheated on me, continuing to parade around as his dutiful wife, no matter how soul-crushing my reality was.I wanted this despite knowing how it ended for their father’s. I wanted this despite how it might look to the outside world.I’ve spent so long being selfless, putting everyone’s needs over my own,

Erin's POV “Erin,” Andrea hisses, and I have to pull the phone away from my ear. “How?!”That was a really great question. How the hell am I supposed to explain my exclusive invitation to Blackwood INC without admitting that I’m sleeping with the CEO and CFO.“I must have caught Mr. Blackwood in a good mood yesterday,” I hoped the tone of my voice didn’t betray me. “He responded to my inquiry almost immediately.”I hated being a good liar. While it served me right now, it still felt incredibly wrong, especially to Andrea.“You do understand how difficult it is to get in touch with the Azure Blackwood, correct?” I imagine her pacing the length of her office with the end of her pen clicking against her teeth. “I know you remember that man causing me a full mental breakdown,” she growled.Only a fraction of a second later did that incessan

Erin's POVFinn escorted us to another room with floor to ceiling windows as well as various monitors showing different areas of the arena.My curiosity got the best of me, and I walked straight up to the large windows, looking down at a massive space designed to look like a forest. Large, fake trees and shrubs were scattered around, as well as rocks, a cave, and a few trenches.“This is an impressive set up, Mr. Gray,” Mr. Nitrile chirped, glancing around the space with curious eyes, “And Mr. Blackwood does all of his own testing?”“Yes,” Finn’s eyes lit up, and it was clear how much pride he felt for Azure and their accomplishments. “Azure has always made it his top priority to be involved in every aspect of this business. His goal is to create groundbreaking products that he personally knows will work in battle.”“Are you suggesting that he will be shot,” Mr. Nitrile’s eyes widened. “While down there?”A pit of anxiety tangled up in my stomach as I stared down at the empty arena. W

Erin's POVThe phone went to voicemail again, but no message was left. Not even two seconds later, the same number called me back, making four calls in a row.“Hello?” I barked; annoyance laced in my tone. I quickly pressed the phone to my ear, stepping just outside of the viewing room. I had been trying to maintain my professionality, but whomever this is, seems to want to throw a wrench in my plans.“Am I speaking to Mrs. Erin Connolley?” a deep, male voice questioned.“Yes, this is she.”“My name is officer Cleric. We’ve been trying to reach you because your husband was involved in an accident this morning and has been taken to Portland General hospital,” the man explained.Rowan was involved in an accident… Here in Portland? He was supposed to be on his business trip for another day…“Is he… okay?” I glanced over my shoulder at the door, wondering how much longer I had before Finn and Mr. Nitrile stepped out here.“Mr. Connolley is being taken into surgery for a lacerated spleen.

Azure's POVHow could she just… hang up on me like that?‘Could it be because you’re not the center of the universe?’ Nero snorted.I should be the center of her universe. I suppose she’s still getting used to the fact that we’re fated to be together, but damn… It’s taking longer than I would have liked.Every thought is consumed with her and our pup. I could barely focus this morning when I picked up her scent as she approached the training facility. If there wasn’t a client standing a few feet away, I would have taken her right there without a damn care in the world.Which reminds me….‘You do realize your dumb ass took SEVEN years to finally “get used” to the fact that she was your mate.. To the point that you….’ ‘ENOUGH,’ I snarled, feeling my heart kick up a notch.My cell phone dropped against the surface of my desk with a thud, and I reached up, my fingers curling around the fabric of my dress shirt just over my heart. The air in my office felt stale and thick… suffocating eve
