CHAPTER 412. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. What’s it going to beIf it hadn’t been for how heavy the equipment was, and the fact that he couldn’t make a sound, Jhon would have shot himself over the outer wall with a cannon. But instead, Billy took control of the cameras again, and Jhon climbed as quietly as he could.Twenty minutes later, in the most perfect darkness, Jhon slipped through the terrace window and into the room.Chiara was sitting on the couch, legs crossed beneath her, looking expectant. The lights were off, and only a small nearby lamp allowed them to see each other. Jhon approached slowly, as if afraid to startle her.“Hi,” he whispered softly as he sat down across from her and handed her a package, which made her smile.“Chocochips,” Chiara murmured, and he nodded.“I’ve got like fifty packs at home since you said they were one of your cravings,” Jhon replied. “If that’s not true, just let me know, and I’ll let the guys steal them—like they haven’t tried already.”Chiara str

CHAPTER 414. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. One Single MistakeChiara couldn’t leave. She had already made a decision about that; she wasn’t going to escape and live as a fugitive for the rest of her life. However, that wasn’t the only option she had to ensure her child was born somewhere else. She just needed to think of the right strategy. "Don’t worry," she murmured, looking into Jhon’s eyes. "I have to figure out what to do, but for now, it’s fine if you help me with the doctor."She saw him nod, respecting her wishes even though he still seemed worried. She knew he wouldn’t be entirely at ease. Jhon kissed her hands again and looked around at the box on the table. He slid it closer with a smooth motion and smiled. "Do you want to play?" Chiara gave him a weak smile and nodded. He didn’t want to leave, but they couldn’t just sit there in the same room with the tension building, so playing made the most sense. Unfortunately, the first game ended much sooner than Jhon had expected, and h

CHAPTER 416. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. You asked for 'more."I warn you, I won’t resist," he whispered, closing his eyes as he felt Chiara's hands caressing his throbbing member.He said nothing more, just smiled as she freed him from his pants and boxers. He was so magnificent that Chiara stood there, mesmerized for a few seconds."Dammit, I missed this!" she groaned with a sigh before taking him into her mouth as if he were the best lollipop in the world.Her mouth was intense, her throat deep, while her fingers continued exploring the rest of his skin with urgency."I bet you missed this more than you missed me!" he growled, pulling her up to kiss her between restrained gasps.He fell onto Chiara on the bed, lifting one of her legs to wrap it around his hips, and with a decisive movement, he slowly entered her. He felt her arch and moan beneath him, kissing her desperately, as if this were the last moment he could ever have with her.Chiara couldn't stop moaning from the intense sensat

CHAPTER 418. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. Hidden MotivesJhon leaned against the shower glass, waiting for the water to warm up, his mind lost in a flood of memories. Her sweat still clung to his skin, and maybe that’s why he hesitated to step under the stream. He had missed her scent more than anything in the world. He loved her just as much as before, and even though she had blamed the hormones, Jhon couldn’t help but wonder if she still felt the same way about him.Finally, he stepped under the shower, feeling the hot water relax his muscles. He wished he could close his eyes and reopen them to find her standing there. He wished he could have her by his side every day, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon. He couldn’t sneak into the prison every day without risking being caught, so he was fully aware that their encounters would be brief.He wondered what it would be like to be with her always again, to enjoy every moment, to share in their daughter's life, and to savor eve

CHAPTER 420. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. I Won’t Betray YouJhon knelt in front of her, closing his eyes to hold back the tears as he felt his daughter’s movements inside Chiara. The dance of life, the most precious treasure he had ever known. A deep sense of emotion spread through his soul as tears escaped his eyes. He focused on that moment and wondered what his life would be like once that little girl finally came into the world. He knew he would be capable of doing anything for her.Chiara watched him as he rested his forehead on the curve of her belly, unable to stop herself from melting inside at the sight of him like that. She reached out, her fingers slipping into his hair, gently stroking it. She knew the moment was delicate for both of them, sharing something intimate and unrepeatable, and she wished that everything could just be okay again.“Jhon,” she said softly, “what’s going on?”He opened his eyes and looked up at her. He couldn’t deny that she knew him too well. The deep lo
