Elena ~I couldn't resist you any longer, Elena, Adrian said as he picked me up in his arms, holding me so tightly while moving toward the desk, his words still echoing hot in my ears even as his hands slid to the hem of my dress.He settled me on the desk and gave one sharp tug the fabric tore away like it had no right to exist between us anymore.I gasped, clutching at his shoulders, but his eyes burned with merciless hunger.“You starved me of your voice, your touch, your fucking presence,” he growled, ripping off another piece until my skin lay bare under his grip.“Now I’ll starve you of everything except me."His mouth claimed my collarbone, teeth scraping hard enough to bruise while shredded silk pooled at my feet.The last shred of fabric fell away, leaving me trembling naked under his burning gaze as his palm slid down my stomach, stopping just before the heat of my thighs."You look so beautiful, Elena, so beautiful tonight you’ll learn that every inch of you is mine to ruin

Elena ~“Talking about me, love?”Adrian’s voice rolled smooth and teasing through the hallway as he stepped right up behind me his arm slid protectively around my waist, that simple touch sending warmth rushing down my spine while my heart slammed hard against my ribs, freezing me in place even as everything inside me wanted to bolt.He turned that effortless smile on the group staring at us, eyes locking with mine first before he murmured low, “You’re looking breathtaking tonight, my love.”That word love echoed heavy in the air, punching straight through me my eyes went wide because he’d just called me his love right there in front of everyone, my mind spinning wild wondering how the hell he’d even shown up here, saying things that made my knees weak when I was still trying to piece myself together after Alex.Still half in shock, I tried stepping back for some space to breathe through the chaos exploding in my head, but Adrian just tightened his grip slightly his breath brushed ho

Elena~One week later~It had been seven quiet days since everything shattered, and somehow I'd decided to go to this reunion I'd avoided for years maybe because Lila was coming with me, maybe because for once I wanted to walk in and be seen, not hidden in the shadows like before.The black dress traced every curve of me fierce and deliberate, my hair twisted into a perfect bun with just a few loose strands framing my face, red lipstick burning on my lips like it dared anyone to look away, silver earrings catching the light like tiny weapons.Tonight I wanted to look better than anyone, especially her that cunning bitch Nina who'd spent years humiliating me back in school, making me feel small and worthless.I stared into the mirror at this sharp, unfamiliar reflection and almost smirked I wasn't that scared Elena anymore, not after Alex's betrayal had burned away every weak piece of me.He'd been calling nonstop, his messages dripping with pathetic guilt: "I'm sorry, Elena. Please fo

Elena ~Our lips met, and for one impossible heartbeat the world stopped I didn't breathe, didn't think, just felt the heat, the shock, the wrongness of it crashing through me until reality hit like ice water.What the hell was I doing?I just kissed my ex's brother yes, ex, because after what Alex did I couldn't call him my boyfriend anymore, I was ending it right here in my head.I pulled back fast, my chest heaving."I… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"But Adrian's gaze held mine, dark and unreadable, searching deepuntil some man ran up shouting, "Boss! He ran away!"Adrian's whole expression shifted cold in an instant."You're in danger," he said flatly. "Go home. Now."I wanted to ask why but his tone shut down everything. He ordered one of his men to follow me, make sure I got home safe, then gave me one last look that burned with warning and something else I couldn't name.The drive home blurred into lights and noise and silence, all churning into a storm inside me, my heart tang

Elena ~My heart was pounding so loud it almost drowned out my breathing the car had stopped just inches from something, and I blinked hard through tears, my chest heaving like I'd run for miles. For a second I thought it was a person, my whole body freezing up until the streetlamp's faint light hit and I saw it a small cat trembling right in front of my car. I let out a shaky breath, pressing my hand over my heart."God… it's just a cat."My fingers trembled as I unbuckled and stepped out into the cold, biting night air that felt too real against my skin. My knees still weak, I crouched slowly so I wouldn't scare it."Hey… it's okay," I whispered, my voice breaking between the words.The cat stared back wide-eyed and frightened for a moment, then darted across the road and that's when I saw headlights blinding mer, a truck's horn screaming through the night racing straight for it.I couldn't move, my mind blank, body numb in that frozen second until a strong arm grabbed my waist and

Elena ~I still remember how stupidly happy I was that evening the kind of happiness that makes your chest ache because it feels too good to be real. I stood in front of the mirror, smiling at my reflection like an idiot in love, the maroon dress hugging me in all the right places while my curls brushed softly against my shoulders just the way he liked. I couldn't stop thinking about him, about tonight, about how after weeks of canceled plans and distant texts, he finally wanted to see me he'd messaged that morning, "Tonight's special. Be ready at 8," just six words that kept me floating the whole day."Where are you going, Elena?"My mother's voice snapped me back to reality. I blinked, forcing a calm smile. "Out with Lila. She's had a rough week."A lie one I'd gotten too good at telling, because if my parents ever found out I was dating someone, they'd lose their minds. In their world, love was something that came after marriage, only if it was approved, arranged, and practical not
