Chapter: Chapter 22: His PossessionMask begins to make delicate strokes with his tongue, as he makes good on his promise to taste me. “No, please. Don’t—”My objection shatters in my throat as his tongue sweeps over sensitive nerves with a relentless accuracy that makes my back arch off the damp soil. Despite my begging him to stop, my body seems to be doing the complete opposite of what someone who wants him to stop would do.I sob, feeling helpless. My mind screams at me to fight, to tear my legs away, but my body is pinned under the weight of his control. I start to writhe around him—not to get away—but to fight the swelling sensation his mouth inflicts upon me. “Ohhhh, fuck.. Mmhh,” a moan slips from my throat like a shameless wanton.Every stroke of his mouth is an intended claim, an intimate violation that draws unabashed gasps from my chest despite the horror twisting in my gut.I am Elena Beaumont. I am Elena. I am…“Ohhh, fuck… yeah, hmmm.”I can't help it. I’m embarrassed to admit how good it feels. My squi

Chapter: Chapter 21: The Darkest NightI hear his voice. It’s low, almost gentle. “You shouldn’t have let him stay.”I think I’m dreaming.No.This isn't a dream. It’s a nightmare. And Mask is the monster. I can't believe I dreamed that he got into my room. How did he even find out where I live? Scratch that. Why the fuck is he still on my mind?I try to turn my head. Try to force my eyes open, desperate to escape the nightmare and stop seeing Mask. Suddenly, cold water crashes over my face. I jerk awake with a strangled gasp. My lungs burn as I cough, blinking furiously against the water dripping from my eyelashes. I’m shivering from intense cold.For several seconds, I have no idea where I am. Then I see the trees. Tall trunks surround me, their branches twisting overhead and blocking most of the moonlight. The ground beneath me is damp and cold. Leaves cling to my nightgown. What the fuck? This isn't my bedroom. Panic surges through me. I try to sit up. Pain shoots through my wrists. I feel the tightness of a cord ar

Chapter: Chapter 20: He’s in My Room Again “You shouldn't be here. If my mother sees you—” “I just came from downstairs. Your mother is in the garden fucking her husband. I didn't plan on seeing that.” My breath catches. I don't know why anger floods my veins. My grip tightens on the door. I don't care anymore. I yank it open, walking back into the room with hot rage stirring in my chest. Lex enters the room in unhurried grace, closing the door behind him. “Why are you doing this?” My voice trembles, though I fight with everything I have to keep it steady. “Playing the protective boyfriend in front of my family... putting your hands on me... talking down to Nathan. I thought about it. Yesterday, you didn't care about me. You rejected my proposal. You looked at me like I was a major inconvenience. And today, you looked at me like I was the light of your life. I can't seem to wrap my head around it. What is your game? What do you want from me?” Lex stops right in front of me. He towers over my frame. For a second, his pres

Chapter: Chapter 19: Ten Feet AwayBy afternoon, the mansion looks nothing like it did in the morning. People are practically everywhere. Florists carry enormous arrangements through the entrance. Workers climb ladders to hang decorations. Someone is arguing about table arrangements in the dining room. Music plays softly somewhere upstairs while staff move furniture around. The entire house smells like fresh flowers. The wedding after-party will be held here. The wedding itself isn't even until Saturday. This is just Tuesday. But since it’s Claire’s wedding celebration, everything has to be perfect before the big day. I sit on one of the couches in the sitting room, watching everything unfold. Lex is across from me. He’s been there for hours, talking to Nathan. Nathan looks nervous. Every time I look up, Lex is already looking at me. I quickly look away.I still haven’t told him about the bathroom. Or the vomiting. Or the fact that sitting beside him this morning triggered memories I’d rather bury. He hasn’t asked. M

Chapter: Chapter 18: Too Good For YouMy mouth falls open. For a second, my brain refuses to process the word. It sounds funny but why the fuck am I unable to laugh?My mother’s eyes don’t leave mine. I shake my head, but the movement feels more like denial than an answer. She doesn't look convinced. “When was your last period?” “I don’t know,” I reply bluntly.“You don’t know?”Honestly, I haven’t been keeping track. I haven’t been keeping track of anything lately. Between the stalking, the nightmares, the fear, the messages, the strange appearances in my bedroom, and now Lex suddenly inserting himself into my life, I’ve barely had time to think about my own body in that way.“Elena?”“I’m fine.”“When was the last time you had sex?”What the fuck? I can’t answer that ridiculous question. And it's not because I can't. It’s because I know exactly who I’m thinking about.“So you're pregnant for that man, Lex? How long have you been fucking him? How long have you even known him?”My hand instinctively moves over my abdome

Chapter: Chapter 17: A Complicated DesireI force myself to take another bite of food, but I barely taste the flavour. My mind is everywhere except at the dining table.Why is Lex touching me like this? Why does he seem so comfortable playing this role? And why the hell does my body react to him like he isn’t a stranger?The questions scream in my head. He appeared out of nowhere on the plane. He rejected me more than once. And now he’s sitting in my home, claiming me in front of the people who have spent my entire life breaking me down—and making them cringe in fear.Why is he doing this? There has to be a catch. He wants something. But what could he possibly want from me? My body? He didn't seem interested yesterday. But now he acts like he can't keep his hands off me. Or is this his way of getting revenge because I accidentally touched his dick on the plane?My stomach twists with an ache between my legs—a deep, bruised soreness that flares as his fingers press into my inner thigh. My mind flashes back to last night. The h

Chapter: Chapter 135: The CatalystJADE“You found the files?” Mr. Bennett says warmly.“Yes, I did.”Victoria lets out a depressed sigh as she sees me. She isn't aware that seeing her and her father together makes me feel sorry for myself, and jealous of her. I hand the files to Mr. Bennett. Suddenly my phone vibrates in my coat pocket. I slip it out, my eyes narrowing at the glowing screen. An anonymous number.‘Hey, Jade. Long time no see. I don't like being tasered.’‘Have you asked Zayn about how you first met? Have you asked him about the room where he keeps his secret obsession? Meet me at your place if you want to find out the truth. In Zayn’s room. Don’t tell grandma or Zayn about it when you get here. I’m waiting.’My stomach drops. Damon. Is he in our home? It can't be possible. Zayn is in Dr. Declan’s private lab in the Adirondacks. That’s about four hours away from home. Damon mentioned Amanda. That means he’s at the estate with Amanda.The thought of Damon in Zayn’s room makes my skin crawl. He is inside

Chapter: Chapter 134: The Secret Room~~DAMON~~“Damon, dear, are you absolutely certain this is a good idea?” Grandmother asks quietly as the Bentley glides to a stop in the driveway. She sits beside me with her hands folded neatly in her lap, her elegant features etched with concern. Ever since the incident at the shooting range, she has been unusually withdrawn. I lower my eyes, forcing shame into my expression. “I have to try, Grandmother.”Her gaze softens. “What you did was cruel,” she says gently as if she's scared to hurt my feelings. Old age has made her softer. “You know how deeply Zayn was affected by what happened years ago. Pointing a gun at him…” She sighs heavily. “I still cannot understand why you would do such a thing again. I’ve warned you several times to never do that to you brother.”I look away.I wanted to kill him, Grandmother.That was the truth. I wanted to kill him and his silly little wife. If they're gone, maybe my problems would be obliterated with their demise. I understand exactly why I

Chapter: Chapter 133: JealousJADE The call disconnects, and the pieces of my fractured life slam together with the force of a freight train. I wasn't sick. I had my womb taken out. I was killed. The thought echoes in my skull as I weep bitterly in the bathroom. Barbara and Daniel didn't just hate me. They used me and when I was no longer useful, they experimented on me. Just like Jenna is experimenting on Mr. Bennett. I rinse my face with cool water from the faucet. I stare at my reflection in the mirror. The tears are gone, replaced by a burning resolve. I swallow the lump of grief in my throat, force my posture straight, and step back out into the master bedroom. Mr. Bennett is practically glowing. He has tossed his newspaper aside and is currently trying to do light stretches by the window, hum-singing an old jazz tune under his breath. The frail, dying old man from last week is completely gone. In his place is a man reclaiming his vitality. “Ah, Jade! There you are,” he booms, turning around with a wide

Chapter: Chapter 132: The False Diagnosis“Jade!” she pants, her hand flying to her chest as she tries to regain her composure. “You… you frightened me.”“Clearly,” I say, crossing my arms as I look from her pale face down to the scattered placebos. “You look like you've just seen a ghost, Jenna. Why are you handling Mr. Bennett's medication? I thought Lucy was in charge of that now.”Jenna’s shock disappears. She straightens her posture, trying to look imposing. “I am his wife, Jade. I have every right to check on his treatments. In fact, I was just noticing how unusually well Henry is doing lately.”“Unusually well?” I take a step closer, forcing her to look up at me. “Most people call that a recovery, Jenna. You sound disappointed.”“Don't be absurd. I’m his wife. I care about his health more than anyone in this house. I was just checking to make sure the dosage was correct.”“The dosage is perfect. He hasn't vomited blood in a week. His hands have stopped shaking. It's almost as if whatever was making him sick has suddenl

Chapter: Chapter 131: Poison in Plain Sight“I’m so sorry,” I apologize, my voice dripping with pretentious innocence as I look down at the disaster on the floor. I turn to Mr. Bennett with a bright smile. “I guess we'll have to eat out after all.”Mr. Bennett’s face lights up. He grins like a schoolboy on a snow day and stands up from the bed so fast, probably scared I would change my mind. Jenna’s glare is hot enough to pierce through a solid brick wall. She forces a sweet smile onto her face. “Don't be ridiculous, Jade. Accidents happen. I’ll just have the kitchen make another tray.”“That’ll take too much time,” I retort. “And Mr. Bennett is starving.”“The maids will get it ready in no time,” she replies.Meanwhile, Henry is already moving. He throws on his jacket, a baseball cap, and a pair of dark sunglasses—his usual disguise whenever he sneaks out of the estate. Watching him move with such desperate eagerness brings sadness to my heart. He is a billionaire, yet he is acting like a prisoner escaping a cage.“We’re eati

Chapter: Chapter 130: Something Isn't RightThe next morning, Zayn and I needed to see Amanda. We drive to his family’s estate because she asked to have breakfast with us. She’s happy to see us together. At the dining table, the whole family is present. Mr. Hemsworth, his wife… and Damon. It’s the first time I’m seeing him since the night at the company party.After breakfast, Amanda and I decided to chat about anything. Mrs. Hemsworth leaves shortly after, clearly irritated throughout our conversations. I know she doesn't like me. She can't even pretend to. Mr. Hemsworth and Zayn are outside. And so is Damon.I don't like the fact that he’s here, but I can't stop him from coming to see his family. It’s his home after all. If they don't mind that he’s here, then who am I to question their judgment? Suddenly, Amanda’s expression changes the moment she hears the unmistakable sound of a gunshot. I flinch in my seat.“What’s that?” I quiver.Zayn is outside. I stand quickly without thinking and running outside the mansion. Far out
