Belonging to You
“Someone will hear,” I whispered, the words breaking into a tremor.
His family and the entire Castillo group were gathered just down the hall.
Smack.
My gasp tangled in my throat.
“No, they won’t.” His palm landed again, sharp and claiming. Smack. “Do you want to know why?”
All I could manage was a desperate, breathless sound.
“Because you’ll stay quiet.” His voice dropped, low and dangerous. “Won’t you, Abigail?”
He rubbed the spot where he’d struck, the heat of his touch spreading like fire under my skin. Pins and needles rushed through me, making my breath hitch. I bit down hard on my lip, fighting the sound clawing its way up my throat.
“Good girl.” His praise slid over me like sin, a command and a reward all at once.
*****
Abigail swore off love the night she caught her boyfriend tangled up with the neighbor’s daughter. Relationships were nothing but heartbreak—until he came along.
One touch from her new employer’s grandson, Christian Castillo, awakens a hunger she thought she’d buried forever. She knows it’s forbidden. She knows it can’t last. But desire has a way of burning through reason, and with Christian, surrender feels inevitable.
Then her world shatters. Her employer is murdered, and the blame lands squarely on her shoulders. With prison looming and her only lifeline being a man who refuses to forgive her, Abigail is trapped between ruin and a marriage she never chose.
But she won’t go down quietly. Someone is pulling the strings, and she’s determined to expose the truth—even if it costs her freedom, her heart, and the man she can’t stop craving.
A story of love, betrayal, and the courage to fight for forgiveness—and for the truth.

Chapter: 029Abigail’s POV “You’re staring.”Christian’s voice cut gently through the storm in my head.Heat rushed to my face so fast it was embarrassing. I snapped my gaze away, suddenly very interested in the night sky. “I wasn’t.”He huffed a laugh, the sound low and pleasant. “You absolutely were.”I crossed my arms, mostly to stop my hands from doing anything stupid. “You were laughing. It was… distracting.”“That’s a first,” he said. “Most people are distracted by my brooding.”I risked a glance. He was still wearing that infuriating grin, one corner of his mouth tipped up like he knew exactly what he was doing to me. And worse, he wasn’t pushing. He didn’t step closer or tease me again. He just leaned back against the railing beside me, shoulder almost brushing mine.Almost.The night breeze rolled in from the ocean, cool and salty. Palm leaves whispered somewhere below. Cancun hummed softly, alive even at this hour.And I was painfully aware of him. Of the warmth radiating from his body.

Chapter: 028Abigail’s POV Dinner was nothing like I expected.The table alone could have fed a small country. White stone, polished wood, flickering candlelight, servers moving in and out with practiced ease. The ocean breathed somewhere beyond the glass walls, waves rolling in like they had nothing better to do than exist beautifully.I sat among billionaires, holding my fork like it might betray me.Christian sat across from me.I told myself not to look at him. I told myself that whatever existed between us had already crossed enough lines. But my body ignored every single instruction. Awareness buzzed through me like lightning skittering through my veins, hot and uninvited.Every time he shifted in his chair, every time his fingers curled around his glass, slow and deliberate, I felt it like a pull under my skin.He hadn’t said a word since we’d taken our seats. Not to me. Not to anyone.Lola leaned over to me, completely oblivious. “You should’ve seen Crew’s face when he realized there’s a

Chapter: 027Christian’s POV The jet touched down, and the cabin erupted the way it always did when my family traveled. Too loud. Too chaotic.Crew bounced in his seat. “We’re here! We’re here!”Lola cheered right along with him, clapping like she was six instead of the adult in the room.Across the aisle, Abigail still had her eyes shut. Xavier still had his hand wrapped around hers.It took every ounce of restraint not to rush across the aisle and rip his hand away.“Look at you,” Xavier teased lightly. “A seasoned traveler now.”“Do not,” she warned, her voice tight.He chuckled. “I mean—”“Stop bothering her, Xavier,” I cut in.He glanced at me with a lazy smirk. “I’m talking, hermano. Not murdering.”“Feels like the same thing,” I muttered.He shrugged, entirely unbothered, his hand still resting over her clenched fist like it belonged there. Like she belonged there.She lifted her gaze then. For a brief second, her eyes met mine.And then she looked away, turning toward the window like the

Chapter: 026Abigail’s POV In the days that followed, the Castillo house went from its usual quiet efficiency to full-blown, pre-vacation chaos. Staff moving luggage, decorators setting aside birthday props for Crew’s celebration, designers delivering last-minute outfits, chefs finalizing menus—everyone seemed to be preparing for something. Or everything.Meanwhile, I’d been away from the estate, packing and repacking in my tiny apartment like I was being sent to a foreign planet instead of Cancun for summer break. It didn’t matter how many times Alberto said, “Pack light, hija. You won’t need much,” because billionaires saying light was still three wardrobes more than anything I owned.When one of the Castillo drivers pulled up outside my building to take me to the airport, I almost laughed at how absurd the contrast was—my fraying suitcase, his immaculate car, and me in the middle trying not to sweat through my shirt.By the time we reached the private airport, it fully hit me again—the Castil

Chapter: 025Christian’s POVThe door clicked shut behind her before I could form another word.For a moment, I just stood there in the dim light, breathing like I’d run ten rounds without gloves. My back hit the wall as I dragged a hand over my mouth, still tasting her there. My pulse was out of control, hammering in places it had no business hammering.She had looked at me like I was dangerous… and then like she cared.That combination did something to me I couldn’t quite name.I stared at the door she disappeared through.“Damn it,” I whispered into the empty room.I hadn’t meant to grab her like that. I had just seen her walking by, head down, bag in hand, and something inside me had snapped the second I realized she was about to leave the estate without me seeing her once today.Irrational. Pathetic. I know.But when I touched her, when she gasped, when she melted into the kiss like she’d been starving for it too… I lost every shred of control I thought I had.And then she broke away, cheeks

Chapter: 024The sun was high by the time I reached the Castillo estate, and the house was already humming with its usual rhythm. Chefs clattered pans in the kitchen. Gardeners trimmed hedges with crisp, clean snips. Staff glided through hallways with the sort of effortless coordination that only came from years of practice.Normally, I would have run into Christian somewhere by now—him grabbing a coffee, heading out for a morning workout, or scowling at his phone like it personally offended him.Today, nothing.No glimpse. No passing scent of his cologne. No infuriating, magnetic presence.Relief should have come first. Especially after the pool incident. Instead, an irritating tug of disappointment tightened in my chest.Not that I admitted that to myself. No. I shoved the feeling down, buried it somewhere under professionalism and common sense, and focused on work.By the time I finished Alberto’s morning care—vitals, medication check, confirming his schedule—my head felt clearer. I stepped int
