TANGLED:,Crazy For You
Twenty-one-year-old Hazel has always lived in a safe, comfortable bubble, meticulously guarded by her fiercely protective older brother. Her life is predictable, quiet, and perfectly ordinary. Until he steps into it.
Silas is twenty-four, dangerously captivating, and her brother’s best friend. He brings with him an aura of dark secrets, ink-stained skin, and a predatory gaze that strips away all her carefully built defenses. He is everything she has been taught to avoid, yet living under the same roof makes him impossible to escape.
What starts as a temporary living arrangement quickly spirals into a suffocating web of stolen glances, unspoken desires, and a dangerous obsession. Silas isn't just looking for a place to crash; he's looking at her. And once he pins her in his sights, the thorns of their forbidden attraction will bind them together in ways that could destroy them both.
In a house where walls have ears and her brother is always watching, giving in to the madness is a risk. But Silas is a temptation she might not survive.

Chapter: Chapter fifty seven Octavia pov The man on the other end of the call had the nerve to sound apologetic.Octavia did not want an apology. She had not paid for an apology. She had paid a significant amount of money to a person who had presented himself as someone who could find anyone, anywhere, under any circumstances, and what she had received in return over the past three weeks was a series of updates that amounted to nothing followed by a phone call in which the word *unfortunately* appeared twice.Silas had walked out of his own life and nobody — not his office, not his associates, not the carefully cultivated network of people she had spent two years building access to — could tell her where he had gone.The man said something about tracking methods and limited information and the word *difficult* in a sentence where it had no business being. He had tried, he said. He had genuinely tried.She was on the phone with the tracker now and he was making sounds that were supposed to pass for explanation.

Chapter: Chapter fifty sixHazel povThe moment the front door clicked shut behind us, the air in the entryway shifted, turning thick and heavy with a tension I couldn't name but felt vibrating in my very bones. I didn't even have time to take a step toward the stairs before Silas moved. He was a blur of sudden, predatory motion, his large hands slamming around my waist with a grip that brooked no argument, hauling me flush against the hard planes of his body. The impact knocked the wind out of me, leaving me breathless and staring up into eyes that looked like they wanted to devour me whole. He didn't let go; instead, he tightened his hold, his fingers digging into the soft flesh of my hips, anchoring me to him as he forced me to face him fully."Is that the only thing you remember?" he asked, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that seemed to echo inside my chest.I froze. Every muscle in my body locked up, and my heart began to hammer against my ribs with such violence that I was genuinely afraid it might burs

Chapter: Chapter fifty fiveHazelShe had planned it on the way out of the building.The words, the order of them, the general shape of what she was going to say. She had been turning it over since the bathroom, through the rest of class, through gathering her things, through the walk to the front entrance where his car was already at the kerb. By the time she got in and shut the door she had it reasonably mapped out. A straightforward thing to say to a person who had done something that warranted being acknowledged. Nothing complicated about it. Just words in the right order.Then she sat down and Silas pulled out into the road and the words went nowhere.She looked at her hands. Then the road ahead. Then the window on her side where the afternoon was moving past — a row of shops, a bus pulling away from a stop, two kids arguing over something on the pavement. She watched all of it without taking any of it in and the silence between them stretched and she said nothing.The problem was the awareness. She was not

Chapter: Chapter fifty four HazelShe did not move.She stood in the cubicle with her bag pressed against her side and her hand flat on the door and she listened to every word.Tiffany's voice carried the way it always did — not loud, just precise, the kind of voice that expected to be heard and did not bother adjusting its volume for the room it was in. She was in the middle of something when they came in, and she picked it back up without pausing.Claire was with her. Hazel knew that voice too now. She had spent three weeks hearing it in corridors and classrooms, laughing at the right moments, asking the right questions, sitting at the right lunch table."Didn't I tell you to get closer to her?" Tiffany's tone had an edge to it. Not a raised voice — just the specific flatness that meant someone was not happy with what they were hearing. "Get closer and find out something useful.""I tried." Claire. Quieter. "She was cautious. From the beginning she was careful around me. I couldn't get much.""You were suppos

Chapter: Chapter fifty three HazelSilas pulled up outside the main entrance at five to nine and kept the engine running."If anything feels off," he said, "call me."She had one foot out the door. "I know.""Anything at all.""I know, Silas." She stepped out and turned back before she closed the door. "Wait — are you picking me up?"He looked at her."Don't just drop me off and disappear. Come back at the end of the day." She held the door. "Please."Something shifted slightly in his expression. Not surprise exactly. Just a small adjustment. "I'll be here.""Thank you." She closed the door and went up the steps before she could think about the fact that she had just said please to Silas and then thank you and had also essentially asked him not to leave without checking in first, which was approximately the opposite of every boundary she had been maintaining for two weeks.She did not look back.The morning had started badly enough with the aunt and the locked door and Silas arriving and then leaving again witho

Chapter: Chapter fifty two HazelSilas didn't come back that night.She had stayed on the bed for an hour, then moved to the couch, then went back upstairs, and by ten she had done enough of that and had a shower and gone to sleep. She did not check whether he was home. She did not listen for the front door. She went to sleep and woke up at seven and lay there for a few minutes and then got up.The morning was ordinary. She made tea. She checked her phone — three notifications from a group chat she was barely active in and a meme Maya had sent at midnight. She put bread in the toaster and stood at the counter and scrolled without reading anything and generally existed without incident. She did not open the group chat to see whether anyone had posted the car park video yet. That could wait.At twenty past eight the knock came.She set her mug down.A second knock before she had crossed the hallway. She went to the door and looked through the peephole.Her stomach dropped.Her aunt was standing on the step.She

Chapter: Steps?The days following the incident in the sunroom were a grueling exercise in psychological warfare, as Leo didn't just want Mia's body, he wanted to dismantle the very idea of her obedience to her father. He began to leave small, calculated reminders of their secret everywhere she turned, like a single black silk tie draped over her vanity or a lingering touch on the small of her back while they stood in the same room as their parents, forcing her to maintain a mask of purity while her insides were screaming for him. Mia felt herself slipping, the polished image of the perfect daughter cracking under the weight of a hunger that felt more like an addiction than a desire, and she found herself counting the seconds until she could be alone with him again, even if it meant being broken.The mansion felt smaller than ever, the opulent hallways turning into a labyrinth where every corner held the possibility of a collision, and the air seemed to vibrate with a frequency that only the two of t

Chapter: Steps?The aftermath of the library encounter left a thick, suffocating tension hanging in the air of the mansion, a silent agreement between Leo and Mia that their hatred had finally found a physical outlet that neither of them knew how to stop. Mia spent the following days moving through the corridors like a ghost, her skin still humming with the memory of his rough hands and the way he had claimed her right there on the mahogany desk, while Leo watched her with a smug, knowing look that told her he enjoyed the power he now held over her body. Every time their eyes met across a room, it felt like a physical blow, a reminder that the boundary they had crossed was permanent and that the familial tie they shared was now nothing more than a thin veil covering a raw, carnal obsession. She tried to dress more conservatively, choosing high collars and long skirts to hide the bruises he had left on her hips, but the fabric only served to make her more aware of the heat radiating from her skin when

Chapter: Steps?The morning after their collision in the foyer, the mansion felt smaller, the walls closing in on Mia as she tried to pretend the previous night had been a fever dream. She spent hours in her room, the silk of her robe rubbing against the raw, sensitive skin of her thighs where Leo had gripped her with such bruising force, and every time she closed her eyes, she could still feel the heavy weight of him pinning her to that antique table. The house was unnervingly quiet, but she knew he was there, lurking in the shadows of the hallways or watching her from across the breakfast table with those predatory eyes that seemed to strip her bare without even touching her. When she finally ventured downstairs, she found him in the library, leaning back in a leather chair with a glass of amber liquid in his hand, looking every bit the intruder who had decided to make himself the master of the house.Mia tried to walk past him without making eye contact, her heart hammering against her ribs, but t

Chapter: Steps?The air in the foyer was thick with the smell of old money and stale perfume, but all Mia could smell was the sharp, metallic scent of the rain clinging to Leo as he stepped through the front door. She stood at the top of the grand staircase, her fingers gripping the mahogany railing so hard her knuckles turned white, watching him walk in like he owned the place. He hadn't been home in three years, and in that time, he had grown into something dangerous, his shoulders broader and his gaze colder than she remembered. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at her, his eyes scanning her body with a slow, deliberate intensity that made her skin prickle and her stomach flip in a way she hated."You've grown up, Mia," Leo said, his voice a low, rough vibration that seemed to echo in the empty hallway. "Though you still have that same look on your face, like you want to spit in my eye or scream at me to leave."Mia didn't move, her chest heaving under the thin fabric of her sum

Chapter: His caged little birdThe heavy oak doors of the study slammed shut, the sound echoing through the cold marble halls of the mansion like a gunshot that signaled the end of everything Isolde had ever known. Silas didn't let go of her wrist, his grip tight and bruising as he hauled her toward the center of the room, his eyes burning with a mixture of long-simmering hate and a hunger that had finally consumed his reason. He shoved her back against the massive mahogany desk, the edge of the wood digging into her lower back, and he leaned in so close that she could feel the heat radiating off his skin and the scent of expensive tobacco and cold rain clinging to his clothes."You really thought this was just a game, didn't you, Isolde?" Silas hissed, his voice a low growl that vibrated against her skin as he pinned her shoulders down with his palms. "You thought I actually gave a damn about your fragile little heart while I was tearing your father's empire down from the inside out."Isolde looked up at him, her

Chapter: His caged little birdThe morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of the bedroom in thin, dusty streaks, but the air in the room still felt thick with the scent of their sweat and the lingering heat of the night before. Isolde woke up with Silas’s arm draped across her chest, his weight grounding her in a way that made the rest of the world feel like a distant, fading memory. She stayed still for a long time, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing and feeling the way his skin clung to hers, and she wondered if this peace was just a temporary truce before the storm of his revenge finally tore them both apart. Silas stirred, his grip tightening on her waist as he pulled her back against his chest, and he pressed a rough kiss to the nape of her neck that made her shiver despite the warmth of the blankets.He didn't say anything at first, just held her there while the house remained silent around them, but eventually, he shifted and rolled onto his back, staring up at the dark velvet canopy
