**TITLE: Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**
N felt a wave of nausea crash over her, an overwhelming tide that made her heart race and her stomach twist. In a frantic motion, she unsped the ne from around her neck, the weight of it suddenly unbearable. Without a second thought, she hurled it into the bedroom trash can, the diamonds clinking against the cold metal, a sound that echoed her turmoil.
She darted into the guest bathroom, her mind racing as she turned on the shower. The scalding water hit her skin like fire, but the pain was a wee distraction from the chaos swirling in her mind. She needed to cleanse herself, to wash away every trace of rk, every lingering memory of his touch that felt tainted now.
Grabbing the shower gel, she squeezed out a generous amount and began to scrub her neck and body with frantic urgency. Each stroke felt like a battle against the remnants of their intimacy, and as her skin turned a furious red from the harsh scrubbing, the feeling of filth clung to her like a second skin. The thought of that ne adorning another woman’s neck made her stomach churn violently.
She couldn’t shake the image from her mind—of the ne swaying as that woman moved beneath rk, a grotesque vision that made her insides twist.
Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open, and there stood rk, framed in the doorway, his eyes locked onto her through the ss shower door. His gaze traveled hungrily over her wet hair, down her shoulders, and followed the droplets of water that traced her curves, igniting a fire within him.
“N, you’re so beautiful,” he breathed, his voice thick with desire, each word dripping with a longing that made her skin crawl.
She heard him, and instinctively, she wrapped herself in a towel, stepping out of the shower, but the thought that he might have looked at that other woman with the same lust made her feel sick to her core.
“Don’te near me,” she warned, taking several steps back, her heart pounding in her chest, but rk was already closing the distance between them.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” He reached out to touch her cheek, but she recoiled, dodging his hand as if it were a venomous snake.
Unfazed, rk stepped closer, pulling her into his arms with a force that made her heart race for all the wrong reasons. His hands began to roam, caressing her back through the towel, and then they ventured lower, igniting a conflict within her.
“N, I want you,” he whispered in her ear, his breath warm against her damp skin, sending shivers down her spine.
Her body tensed, rigid with resistance. She tried to pull away, but he was stronger, his hand moving to her breast, thumb brushing over the sensitive skin, while his other hand slid dangerously close to her inner thigh.
“Let’s have a baby, okay?” His voice was filled with a yearning that made her heart ache. “We could have a beautiful child. A little girl with your eyes.”
Ice water coursed through her veins at his words. She thought of the photo that woman had sent, the same hands that were now touching her had roamed another woman’s body just hours ago. The anger and disgust bubbled up inside her like a volcano ready to erupt.
“Get away from me!” N shouted, summoning every ounce of strength to push him away. “rk, I’m tired! I don’t want to do this right now!”
He stumbled backward, taken aback by the ferocity of her outburst, confusion clouding his features as he stared at her.
“Honey, I’m sorry,” he said, his voice thick with guilt. “I shouldn’t have pushed you. I just want you so badly. I love you so much.”
He paused, searching her face for understanding. “If you don’t want a child right now, we can wait.”
As she watched rk’s apologetic expression, a whirlwind of emotions churned in her stomach. This man had been her rock for three years, gentle and caring, yet she couldn’t reconcile this version of him with the one who had betrayed her trust just the night before.
But the evidence was undeniable. The photos. The messages. The ne lying discarded in the trash.
That night, Ny wide awake, staring at the ceiling, the weight of her thoughts pressing down on her. rk’s breathing was even beside her, a stark contrast to the storm raging in her mind. The painful images reyed over and over, taunting her until dawn broke, and sleep eluded her.
The next morning, N woke with dark circles under her eyes, her reflection in the mirror revealing a hollow, tired visage that felt foreign to her.
“Honey, are you feeling okay?” rk asked, concern etched on his face. “You look exhausted. Maybe you should rest today.”
N shook her head, determination surging within her. “I’m fine. We need to get ready for your grandfather’s birthday party.”
As they drove through the grand gates of the Summer family estate, a sleek ck Rolls-Royce suddenly roared past them,ing to an abrupt stop right in front of the main entrance. The license te read “DAMON-1,” a sight that sent a chill down N’s spine.
rk’s hands tightened around the steering wheel, his face darkening with a storm of emotions. “Uncle Damon,” he muttered under his breath, a mix of irritation and dread.
Damon Summer, rk’s uncle and Richard’s youngest son, had always been a figure of intimidation in rk’s life, despite being only six years older. He had chosen to forge his own path, refusing to join the family business, and now hispany was worth five times more than Summer Group.
Known for his brilliance, ruthlessness, and vindictiveness, Damon had a reputation that preceded him. Last year, he had overheard rk making disparaging remarks about him during a business dinner, and as punishment, he had denied a lucrative partnership that could have brought the Summer Group hundreds of millions.
rk parked behind the Rolls-Royce, and as N stepped out of the car, her high heel caught in the gravel driveway. She wobbled, her heart racing as she felt herself tipping backward.
In that moment, a pair of strong hands caught her waist, steadying her against a solid chest.
N looked up into a pair of deep, dark eyes that seemed to hold a world of secrets. The man was tall and imposing, probably around twenty-nine, with sharp features that were perfectly sculpted—high cheekbones, a straight nose, and a strong jawline. He wore a tailored dark gray suit that entuated his broad shoulders and lean physique.
This was Damon Summer.
“Careful,” he said, his voice deep and maic,ced with a hint of genuine concern that made her heart skip a beat.
For a brief moment, she found herself ensnared in his gaze, lost in the depths of those dark eyes.
rk appeared beside them, his face flushed with jealousy, and he roughly grabbed N’s hand, pulling her away from Damon as if she were a prized possession.
“Thank you, Uncle,” rk said tersely, the tightness in his voice betraying his barely concealed anger.
He dragged N toward the manor entrance, and after they had walked a few steps, he leaned close to her ear, his breath hot against her skin.
“N, you know I don’t like you getting too close to other men,” he whispered harshly. “Not even my uncle.”
N almostughed at the bitter irony. Here was rk, who had been with another woman just the night before, now acting possessively over her interaction with his uncle.
“So you’d rather have your wife fall t on her face in front of the Summer family estate?” she shot back coldly, her toneced with sarcasm.
rk immediately backed down, his expression shifting. “Honey, that’s not what I meant. I just don’t want people to get the wrong idea.”
Ignoring him, N continued walking toward the entrance, her heart heavy with the weight of their unspoken conflict.
The Summer family manor loomed before them, impressive with its grand foyer and sparkling crystal chandeliers. But for N, there was no joy in being here, only a sense of dread.
Inside the living room, rk’s grandmother Marie immediately called out, her face lighting up with a beaming smile. “N, rk, you’re here! Come sit down!”
N took a deep breath, forcing a polite smile onto her face. Despite her feelings about rk, she still held a deep respect for his grandparents. Richard had always treated her with kindness, and she didn’t want to tarnish that.
“Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandma,” she greeted them warmly, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside.
Marie’s eyes sparkled as she watched rk and N approach, a glimmer of hope in her gaze. She had been trying to convince Damon to settle down for years, and perhaps she saw a glimmer of possibility in N and rk’s union.
“Come, sit here next to me,” Marie patted the sofa beside her, her smile infectious.
As they settled in, Damon entered the living room, and Marie’s expression shifted to one of disapproval, her eyes narrowing slightly.
“Look at rk,” she said pointedly to Damon. “He’s got hispany running smoothly, and his wife is absolutely beautiful. They might be giving us a great-grandchild soon.”
Her voice grew stern, her tone leaving no room for argument. “And you? You’re almost thirty and still single. If you don’t bring a girlfriend to the next family gathering, don’t bothering at all!”
Damon’s gaze flicked to rk, then settled on N, a half-smile curving his lips, as if he found amusement in the situation.
“Yes,” he said quietly, his voice smooth. “Really beautiful.”Conclusion
