RACHELMy head felt heavy and hazy as I slowly stirred awake.I wasn’t fully conscious yet, but something inside me didn’t want to wake up at all.Maybe I was too terrified to. Or maybe it was just the pounding headache from whatever knocked me out yester—Wait.Oh my God.My eyes snapped open.I had definitely been hit with something yesterday. Something heavy.I didn’t even know how it happened.The last thing I remembered was fixing my bra and staring at myself in the huge bathroom mirror. Then the next thing I saw was a man in a red suit appeared behind me.I never even got to see his face when something slammed hard into my head before I could turn around.My gaze dropped to the bed beneath me. Definitely not my bed.I’d be crazy to think it was Thane’s… although a stupid part of me wished he had somehow saved me.A sharp pain shot through my forehead and down my back when I pressed my palms into the mattress to sit up.The moment I tried lifting my weight and swinging my legs of

THANEI ran for my car just as Joe’s car burst out of the lot. The tyres screeched so violently that it scared the hell out of me.All I could think about was Rachel.If she was in that car, the speed alone might make her sick. That was if he hadn’t already tied her up… or worse, gagged her with something.I knew Joe. He could do worse.I jumped into my car and slammed the ignition the second the engine came alive.The moment it started, I stepped on the gas.As soon as I hit the road, I realised it was pouring heavily outside. The asphalt gleamed under the streetlights.It was damn too dangerous to drive this fast ‘cause the road could easily turn slippery.But I couldn’t risk losing Joe. I had to match his speed.So I pushed harder. The steering wheel vibrated under my hands as the tyres sliced through the wet asphalt.I hit 160. Km/h161. Km/hAlmost 180. Km/hNo one needed to tell me it was insane. But I could go way higher if I weren’t fearing the rain.My phone started ringing i

THANEMy shoes echoed against the tiles as I marched through the parking lot. The whole place was packed with cars, making it difficult to spot anywhere someone could be hiding.Just as I moved further in, my phone rang again. My hand shoved into my pocket instantly to grab it.I didn’t even bother checking the screen before answering.“Where the hell are you?” I demanded, my tone dropping rougher than before.“Is that what’s been keeping you?” Pops’ voice came through the line, low and controlled. “You’ve been waiting for someone?”I inhaled slowly, trying to steady myself. “Pops, this isn’t a good time. I’ll call you back.”“Don’t give me that nonsense, Thane.” His tone hardened, though it still sounded controlled, like he was trying not to draw attention around his guests. “You missed the entire event, and now you’re still nowhere to be found. Where the hell are you?”“Somewhere,” I replied calmly, moving toward a suspicious-looking jeep.“You made your sister cover for you and tha

THANEThe second I parked the car, I dug for my phone and dialled Rachel’s number again while using my other hand to adjust my bow tie.Finally, someone picked up.“Rachel isn’t here.”That was the first thing I heard. I didn’t even need to ask who it was. I recognised the voice immediately.But I didn’t give a damn why he sounded so entitled. What I cared about was why the hell he had Rachel’s phone.“Where the hell are you, J?” I demanded, already heading inside.I dodged a few guests and went straight upstairs to where J said he was waiting before hanging up the call.The moment my eyes met his, a million things I thought I’d buried years ago came rushing back.And deep down, I knew I wanted to kill him right there.I’d always wanted to. If it weren’t for months of therapy and self-control, I probably would have done it already. Maybe over and over again until I was satisfied.My chest pounded harder with every step I took toward him. Rage clouded my mind, and I could swear my fist

RACHEL“Uhm…” I stammered. Any dump person can see that this surface-level invitation has something deeper to it, and I'm honestly not ready to be in the middle of whatever games he's playing at.“I think that’s enough, Dad.” Jae finally cut in, lightly grabbing my shoulders as if steadying me. “Can you adults excuse us now?”His father frowned slightly. “Alright. I get it. We’ll let you two be.” He turned to me. “Please think about my offer, Rachel. I’d be happy if you do.”I forced a smile and nodded before Jae guided me toward the hallway. The moment we settled on an empty chair we found, he shifted to face me. Heat crawled on my skin slowly. The way his brown eyes looked at me almost made me wonder if he had done this a million times before.“Look, I’m really sorry about what happened back there. My father…” He lifted a brow. “Well, he’s not always like that. I can only say he probably likes you, which is kind of rare.”I rolled my eyes. “No comment. I guess I was too shocked to

RACHELAfter a minute, I pulled out my phone and called Thane for the third time. He still didn’t pick up.“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath as I headed back downstairs.I was making my way toward the exit when Jae stepped in front of me.“Hey.”I paused, biting my lip. “Hey,” I replied quietly.He frowned. “What’s wrong?”I forced a smile. “Nothing. I’m fine. Can you… excuse me?”His expression tightened slightly. “I don’t want to assume you’re avoiding me. Did I do something? If I did, just tell me.”Should I ask him? Is it wrong to? I hesitated, biting my lower lip again.“Go ahead, Rachel,” he said softly. “You kind of look cute when you do that.”I blinked and straightened immediately. “Uhm… Jae.” I exhaled. “Do you mind telling me about—”“Thane?” he cut in before I finished.I nodded. “Yeah.”He smiled faintly, glancing down for a moment before meeting my eyes again.“What do you want to know? I’ll tell you whatever I can.”I licked my lips nervously. “I heard he hates you. I

VINCENZO CASTILLO“Are you expecting anyone?” Camilla asked, her voice still low, cautious, before I turned my gaze back to her.“No… I’m not.” My eyes cut back to the door, narrowing.“It’s probably room service. I’ll go check.”That was when it hit me... I hadn’t even considered that possibility. To me, a knock was never just a knock. Room service or not, I couldn’t ignore the thought that the old sneaky man might have switched his plan, maybe sent skilled men this time to drag me out. I’d been played once; I wasn’t about to let it happen again.“I’ll go,” I said firmly, already sliding off the bed.Crossing the room, I turned the handle with controlled ease and cracked the door open.A young guy stood there, his grin stretching wide across his face, flashing teeth like a kid who’d just been handed the keys to a Lamborghini.“Good morning, sir,” he greeted first, bright and rehearsed.I took in the details—the hotel’s standard outfit, black cotton shirt tucked into matching trousers

VINCENZO LORENZOI stood there in silence, watching her, waiting for her first reaction.“Who was that?” she asked, still mopping her damp hair with the towel clutched in her right hand.“She’s a friend. No one really important.”My voice was calm, unbothered, as I walked deeper into the room. I knew that answer wouldn’t settle with her... Damn, I could already see the way her eyes narrowed, the doubt flickering behind them. So while my lips curved faintly, my mind was already rehearsing the next response.“I’ve never seen you with a friend, Vin. And even if you did have one, it’s strange it’s a woman. You don’t keep females around.”I raised a brow, tilting my head slightly. “Is that jealousy I’m hearing?”She rolled her eyes, sharp, and dismissive.“As if… I’m just surprised, that’s all.”“You sure about that?” I let the words drag, my tone low, testing her. “Because you can tell me now. I’ll break it off. With just one word from you.”She gave a short, mocking laugh, the sound curl

VINCENZO CASTILLOThe rest of it was no longer soft moans, it was screaming, raw and desperate, tearing out of her with every thrust.Slowly, I pulled her off me, holding her still for a second. Our eyes locked, hers glazed with heat, mine burning straight through her.“Can I take you from the back?” I asked, my voice lower, softer than I’d ever heard myself sound in this lifetime.She didn’t answer with words. She just gave a small nod.Her fingers found the edge of the tub, pushing herself up. Water clung to her body, dripping down every curve as she stepped out, her skin glowing under the steam. I followed, my c*ck still thick, unrelenting, pointing at her as if it had its own will.Guiding her beneath the shower, I leaned over and turned the handle. A rush of water spilled down over us, streaming down her back, over the swell of her *ss, catching the light like liquid fire. She braced herself against the marble wall, arching her back, offering herself without hesitation.I slid a

VINCENZO CASTILLO“If you want something, just ask. You don’t have to sneak around me, pulling stunts like this,”I managed, even though the words came out rough. Hard to think straight when her breasts were pressed against my back, soft heat searing through me.“Are you sure you’ll do as I ask?” she whispered against my ear, her breath warm, laced with challenge.“You know I won’t agree to anything if it puts you in danger,” I muttered, my mind flashing back to our argument, already suspecting this was her way of dragging me back into it.She slipped away from behind me, water droplets gliding down her skin as she moved across the steam-filled room. Then she stepped into the tub, slowly, deliberately, her gaze never leaving mine.And I saw her. All of her. The way the water licked up her thighs, parting around the full, perfect curve of her cl*t, until my eyes dragged higher, locking with hers again. She knew what I saw. She wanted me to see it, actually.“It’s not something that wil

VINCENZO CASTILLOI had a feeling it would come to this, just not expecting it this soon.Stopping her would only make it seem like I agreed with whatever she had wanted to comply with. And maybe I wanted it so badly too, but I couldn’t afford to give her that. Not now.She has no idea of the danger that lurks around her. Every second I spend here with her feels like walking on a wire above fire. But the truth is, I’d have lost my mind if I stayed away any longer.She’d be safer with Lorenzo; I know that. But she’s too stubborn to see it, too stubborn to understand. And the thought of her back turned to me now, curled up on that couch, doesn’t make things any easier. The duvet had slipped down, baring more of her than I could ignore. Did she really think I could sleep with that taunting me?I swung my feet to the floor and moved to her side. I wasn’t about to let her spend the night in that chair. She deserved better, even if she hated me for it.Sliding one arm beneath her legs and t

CAMILLA RYDERI shifted on his lap, sliding until I was pressed right against the hard length of him. His breath hitched, the sound rough and unsteady, as if he wasn’t used to feeling someone like this. Slowly, I lowered myself, and his soft groan broke through the silence.His hand shot to my waist, gripping me too tight at first, then loosening like he was learning how to guide me. His hips moved, tentative at first, then harder, deeper, as if instinct was taking over where experience couldn’t. I clung to his shoulders, my body trembling, gasps slipping from my lips.“You like it?” I teased, my br*asts brushing against his face as they swayed with every motion.“Oh… f*ck… I love everything about you,” he rasped, voice low, before his mouth claimed me hungrily.His grip was rough, almost desperate, one hand pinning my hips down on his c*ck, the other cupping my chest as if he couldn’t bear to let me slip away.“F-f*ck, Vin…” I cried, twisting under his touch. He suck*d harder, not pa
