THE DEVIL'S BRIDE

THE DEVIL'S BRIDE

Evelina Mercer has spent her entire life fighting for survival with nothing but her late father’s motorcycle and a mouth sharp enough to start wars. In a city ruled by wealth, power, and monsters hiding behind beautiful faces, she’s learned one thing the hard way, people like her are disposable. Until one dangerous night at Sin & Silk changes everything. When a group of men corner Evelina at the club where she works, salvation comes in the form of a terrifyingly beautiful stranger with hypnotic green eyes and a reputation dark enough to make grown men tremble. Adrian Nightmere. The Devil. A man whispered about in fear. And the moment his eyes meet hers, something shifts. Desperate to save her sick mother, Evelina accepts a high-paying job as a maid inside Adrian’s isolated mansion, unaware that she’s stepping into a world of ancient secrets, ruthless vampire politics, and deadly obsession. Because Adrian Nightmere is not human. And the closer he gets to Evelina, the more dangerous he becomes. But while Evelina struggles against her growing attraction to the dangerously possessive vampire lord, shadows begin closing in around her. A childhood friend who refuses to let her go. A vampire fiancée willing to spill blood for a crown. And a council that would rather burn the kingdom than allow a human beside their king. Yet the greatest threat to the vampire world may not be Evelina's enemies. It's Evelina herself. Because the truth about her past could destroy everything the vampire world was built upon. In a world where monsters wear beautiful faces and love can become a curse, Evelina is about to discover that being chosen by The Devil may be the most dangerous fate of all.

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEEN
MIRANDAThe moment Adrian left, I stopped pretending to be calm. I stood beside the window of my bedroom, staring out at the gardens below, my hands clenched at my sides.That arrogant, infuriating man.He had walked into my father's residence, questioned me like a criminal, and left without giving me the satisfaction of a proper explanation.Worse, he had looked at me as though he knew I was hiding something. I hated that look.I hated the way his green eyes seemed to see through people, stripping away their carefully constructed lies until nothing remained.And I hated that, for one brief moment, I had wondered whether he knew. Whether he had somehow discovered my involvement.I exhaled slowly. No…Adrian had suspicions, perhaps. But suspicion was not proof, and he had left without accusing me of anything. But that didn't mean I could afford to leave any loose ends.A hurried, chaotic knock rattled my bedroom door before it burst open.Valencia Noire practically stumbled into the ro

Chapter: CHAPTER TWELVE
CALEB'S POVI saw the post about Evelina the moment it started going viral. Her face was everywhere. People were calling her violent. Unstable. Dangerous.I stared at the screen, my jaw tightening with every comment. They didn't know her.They didn't know what had happened before that video was recorded. They didn't know Genevieve had provoked her.I knew. And yet, somehow, I was the one who had failed her. I should have protected her. I should have stopped Genevieve before things went this far.But how could I protect her when I was part of the reason she was suffering?I pulled on my riding gear and headed for the inner garage. My Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter sat where I'd left it. I swung onto it and sped out.I had to find her and fix this.---NippyZippy was the first place I went. I stormed through the entrance, barely acknowledging the receptionist."Did Evelina Mercer report for duty today?"The young woman looked at me nervously. "I'm sorry?""Evelina. Has she been a

Chapter: CHAPTER ELEVEN
EVELINA'S POVSomeone doesn't want me here. Someone obviously wanted me dead. But why? And... who could it be?I thought about the woman from earlier, my fingers tightening around the strands of dark-brown hair I had pulled from her disguise."I'm definitely going to find that woman with the deep blue eyes."The paralysis was definitely strange. Strange wasn't even the right word for it. That was how I would have died, and my poor mother wouldn't even know what happened to me.I swallowed hard. From now on, always be on alert, Evelina. This wasn't some fucking fairy tale, so get your act together. Don't fall for your boss. Stay alive and make money. Simple.I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice Adrian approaching."Eve."I jumped. I spun around and found him standing behind me. "Geez… when did you come back?""Not too long ago. Your door was wide open." He studied me. "I've been calling you for a while, but you seemed lost in thought.""Oh." I looked away. "Sorry."He didn't r

Chapter: CHAPTER TEN
EVELINA'S POVI made up my mind not to waste another tear on them. I knew this was Genevieve's doing. And it was all because of stupid Caleb.I screamed my pain into the wind. "I'm done with all of you!"My voice cracked, but I didn't care. I wiped my tears furiously and started my motorcycle. I drove straight to Nightfall Estate.The same atmosphere of silence welcomed me. As I approached the gate of Adrian's mansion, I pressed the intercom button.A few seconds later, the gate opened. Mojito stood there. Surprisingly, he didn't look nearly as intimidating as he had the last time I saw him. In fact, he looked almost pleasant. I stared at him suspiciously."Did you get enough beauty sleep to give you such a nice attitude today, or is it something else?"Mojito gave a low laugh."See? It's not so bad. You look less like King Kong now.""So you were scared, but you decided to be stubborn anyway." He smirked."I wasn't scared." I said, crossing my arms.He raised an eyebrow. "You're some

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE
GENEVIEVEThe moment Caleb left his room, I looked at the bouquet in my hands. It was cheap nonsense.They weren't ugly, exactly, but they certainly weren't what I expected from someone who was supposed to be my fiancé.I rolled my eyes and threw them into the trash. Caleb had always been too sentimental for his own good. But I had never tolerated Caleb because I was madly in love with him.He had his uses. He was always fucking good in bed. His family had money, so he wasn't dead weight. Not to mention, he was really good-looking.That was why I'd tolerated Caleb and his insufferable mother for this long.I left the room and walked into the lounge, where Bianca was still sitting comfortably on the sofa.I took a sit, and she moved closer to me. She told me that Evelina was the one who had inflicted the injury on Caleb.Evelina had always thought she could get away with anything simply because Caleb cared about her. She was about to learn otherwise.I left the Ryders' mansion and retu

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT
Caleb's POVPain shot through my head as I slowly regained consciousness. For a few seconds, I couldn't remember where I was. Then everything came rushing back in fragments.I remembered the argument with Evelina. Her rejection. Then she hit me with something. I touched the side of my head and winced.She had really hit me. I pushed myself up from the floor and looked around the room. The house was silent. Evelina was gone.My mind felt hazy, and my thoughts were scattered. I didn't want to stay there any longer, so I staggered outside, climbed onto my motorcycle, and drove straight home.The Ryder mansion was still awake when I arrived. I barely made it through the entrance before Dad saw me."Caleb?"I stopped. His eyes immediately went to my head."What happened to you?"I instinctively touched the injury. "I got into an accident."Dad's expression changed. "An accident? Are you all right? You should see a doctor.""It's nothing serious."He stepped closer, examining me with concer

GEKAUFT UND GEBROCHEN

DER RUIN VON CASSY BEAUMONT GEKAUFT UND GEBROCHEN

Sie hat mich einst zerstört. Jetzt gehöre ich ihr. Vor zehn Jahren hat Cassy Beaumont mich vor allen gedemütigt. Sie hat meinen Liebesbrief in der Cafeteria laut vorgelesen und alle über die Tochter der Hausangestellten lachen lassen, die es gewagt hatte zu träumen. Drei Stunden später starb mein Vater an dem Stress, den ihre Familie ihm zugefügt hatte. Jetzt ist Cassys Welt zusammengebrochen. Das Imperium ihres Vaters als Betrug enttarnt. Ihr Vermögen verloren. Ihre Schwester steht vor fünfzehn Jahren Gefängnis. Und sie ist verzweifelt genug, um das Gilded Cage zu betreten und das Einzige zu verkaufen, was ihr noch geblieben ist. Ich habe vier Millionen Dollar für eine Nacht mit ihr bezahlt. Sie dachte, es wäre nur eine Nacht. Sie hat das Kleingedruckte nicht gelesen. Für das nächste Jahr gehört Cassy Beaumont mir. Mit Körper und Seele. Und ich werde dafür sorgen, dass sie genau versteht, was sie mir genommen hat. Ich werde sie brechen. Sie neu aufbauen. Sie betteln lassen. Und wenn sie endlich erkennt, dass sie ohne mich nicht mehr leben kann? Dann entscheide ich, ob sie Vergebung verdient. Oder ob manche Ruinen dazu bestimmt sind, für immer zerbrochen zu bleiben.

CASSYEiner nach dem anderen geht jeder. Sogar Daisy. Sie hält an meinem Schreibtisch inne.„Geht es dir gut?"„Ich glaube schon."„Du glaubst?"Ich lache schwach. „Ich schreibe dir."Sie studiert mein Gesicht für einen Moment, bevor sie nickt. „Okay."Das Studio leert sich. Nur Madame Laurent und ich bleiben zurück. Sie geht um meinen Arbeitsplatz herum.„Du warst heute abgelenkt."„Es tut mir leid."„Ich habe nicht um eine Entschuldigung gebeten."Sie hebt eine meiner Skizzen auf. „Du hast Talent."Ich blinzle. Das… das habe ich nicht erwartet.„Aber Talent ohne Disziplin ist nutzlos." Sie legt das Blatt zurück.„Weißt du, warum ich dich in dieses Programm aufgenommen habe?"Ich schüttle den Kopf. „Nein."„Ich habe dein Portfolio dreimal gelesen."Meine Augen weiten sich. „Dreimal?"„Du hast Instinkt." Sie schaut mich direkt an. „Instinkt kann man nicht lehren."Ein Kloß bildet sich in meinem Hals. „Warum dann..."„Warum was?"„Warum fühlt es sich an, als ob du meine Arbeit nicht mag

CASSYIch starre geradeaus, während sie mein Skizzenbuch durchblättert. Von einer Seite zur nächsten. Dann noch einer. Mein Herzschlag dröhnt in meinen Ohren.„Dieses hier.“ Sie tippt auf eine Seite. „Warum hast du hier aufgehört?“„Ich …“„Du hast zehn Entwürfe, die zu diesem führen.“„Ja.“„Und dann nichts.“„Ich war nicht zufrieden.“„Warst du blockiert?“Ich zögere. „…Ja.“Sie klappt das Skizzenbuch zu. „Das sehe ich.“Hitze schießt mir in die Wangen.„Du denkst zu viel, bevor dein Bleistift das Papier berührt.“Meine Augen weiten sich. Woher weiß sie das?„Du zögerst.“ Sie legt das Skizzenbuch zurück auf meinen Schreibtisch.„Zögern tötet die Kreativität.“ Dann geht sie weg.Ich weiß nicht, ob ich mich beleidigt fühlen soll … oder entblößt, weil sie recht hat.„Paart euch.“ Madame Laurents Stimme schneidet durch den Raum.„Wir beginnen mit Vorstellungen.“Sofort drehen sich die Leute zueinander. Ich schaue nach links. Das Mädchen neben mir hat sich schon mit jemand anderem zusamm

CASSYIch rufe Delilah an, sobald ich aufwache. Sie schreit so laut, dass ich das Telefon vom Ohr wegnehmen muss.„Ich HAB’S GEWUSST!“, brüllt sie. „ICH HAB’S DIR GESAGT!“Ich lache. „Das hast du.“„Ich hab dir gesagt, du sollst nicht aufgeben! Also… glaubst du deiner großen Schwester jetzt endlich?“Ich verdrehe die Augen, obwohl sie es nicht sehen kann. „Ich denk drüber nach.“Sie schnaubt. „Rotznase.“Die nächsten vier Tage vergehen wie im Rausch. Der Orientierungstag kommt viel schneller, als ich erwartet habe.Ich stehe fast zwanzig Minuten vor dem Spiegel. Nichts fühlt sich richtig an.Zu leger, zu formell. Zu schlicht oder zu viel.„Was machst du da?“Ich drehe mich um. Sienna ist bereits für die Arbeit angezogen und beobachtet mich vom Türrahmen aus.„Ich weiß nicht, was ich anziehen soll.“„Zieh Klamotten an.“Ich starre sie an. „Sehr hilfreich.“Ich seufze theatralisch und hole ein anderes Outfit heraus. „Was ist damit?“Sie wirft kaum einen Blick darauf. „Es bedeckt alles.“

Ich bin dehydriert und beschließe, mir in der Küche ein Glas Wasser zu holen.Ich gehe leise Richtung Küche.„Dachte schon, du bleibst da drin für immer.“„Jesus!“ Ich bekomme fast einen Herzinfarkt. „Warum zum Teufel sitzt du im Dunkeln?“ Ich drücke die Hand auf meine Brust.„Ich konnte nicht…“ Ihre Stimme ist leise.„Du konntest nicht schlafen?“„Lächerlich. Ich hatte einfach noch Arbeit zu erledigen.“ Sie verschränkt die Arme.„Ohne deinen Laptop? Im Wohnzimmer. Nicht mal in deinem Arbeitszimmer.“ Ich ziehe eine Augenbraue hoch. „Sag einfach, du konntest ohne mich nicht schlafen… Ich konnte auch nicht schlafen.“ Ich zucke mit den Schultern.„Bilde dir bloß nichts ein.“ Sie steht auf und geht in ihr Zimmer.Sie weiß nicht, dass ich die leichte Röte auf ihrem Gesicht bemerke.

CASSYEs sind jetzt drei Tage vergangen, und ich habe ständig meine E-Mails gecheckt, aber bisher ist nichts gekommen.„Du ruinierst dir noch die Augen, wenn du die ganze Zeit auf den Bildschirm starrst.“ Sienna sagt das, ohne mich anzusehen. Sie ist bereits für die Arbeit angezogen. „Ich habe ein frühes Meeting. Der Fahrer bringt Delilah um 11 Uhr zum Flughafen. Sorg dafür, dass du bis dahin aus dem Bett bist und sie begleitest.“Sie küsst mich auf die Wange und lässt mich allein. Kein einziges aufmunterndes Wort. Frustriert fahre ich mir mit der Hand durch die Haare.Ich stehe auf, mache mich frisch und gehe dann nach unten. Dort sitzt Delilah bereits angezogen am Tisch und isst Frühstück.„Guten Morgen, Cass. War die Nacht hart? Ich habe Frühstück gemacht.“„Morgen, Dee… ja, so etwas in der Art…“ Ich schleppe mich zur Küchentheke und hole mir Speck und Eier.„Was ist los, Cass?“ Plötzlich steht Delilah neben mir, sodass ich leicht zusammenzucke.„Ähm… nichts.

Was unsere Körper wollen, obwohl wir uns vor wenigen Augenblicken noch gestritten haben.„Ja, Ma’am.“ sage ich automatisch.Ich krieche zu ihr hoch. Gedanken aus Lust und Verlangen wirbeln durch meinen Kopf.„Du bist ein unartiges Mädchen gewesen.“ Sienna küsst mich hart, bis wir beide nach Luft ringen.Das war so heiß, aber ich muss meine Gedanken unter Kontrolle halten. Auch wenn meine Pussy etwas ganz anderes denkt – sie ist bereits klatschnass und pocht.Ich presse meine Schenkel zusammen, um mein sexuelles Verlangen zu zügeln. „Versprich mir, dass du dich nicht einmischst.“„Ich werde darüber nachdenken.“„Nein.

THE RUIN OF CASSY BEAUMONT: BOUGHT AND BROKEN

THE RUIN OF CASSY BEAUMONT: BOUGHT AND BROKEN

She destroyed me once. Now I own her. Ten years ago, Cassy Beaumont humiliated me in front of everyone, read my love letter aloud, made them laugh at the maid's daughter who dared to dream. Three hours later, my father died from the stress her family caused him. Now Cassy's world has crumbled. Her father's empire exposed as fraud. Her fortune gone. Her sister facing fifteen years in prison. And she's desperate enough to walk into The Gilded Cage, the city's most exclusive auction house, to sell the only thing she has left. I paid four million dollars for one night with her. She thought it was just one night. She didn't read the fine print. For the next year, Cassy Beaumont belongs to me. Body and soul. And I'm going to make sure she understands exactly what she took from me. I'm going to break her. Rebuild her. Make her beg. And when she finally realizes she can't live without me? That's when I'll decide if she deserves forgiveness. Or if some ruins are meant to stay broken.

Chapter: INTEREST
CASSYI tell Sienna about Lily that same night, mostly because keeping it to myself feels wrong after everything we've been trying to rebuild. She's at the kitchen counter when I get home, going through contracts with her glasses pushed up into her hair. She looks up when I drop my bag by the door."How was the event?""It was great. It felt like… I finally belonged somewhere after a very long time." I sit on the stool across from her. "One of our patrons, Lily Moore of Moore Enterprises, spoke at the event. It was so intriguing."Something flickers across her face before she gets it under control. "Okay. That's good.""She found me afterward. Outside, while I was waiting for Daisy." I turn the business card over in my fingers. "She said if I ever need advice about the industry, her assistant can arrange a meeting.""Isn't that just interesting? Why you?""Well… it wasn't like Daisy was with me at the moment.""What else did she say?""Sienna, she saw my potential. She also said I sho

Chapter: A DIFFERENT KIND OF ATTENTION
CASSY The applause dies down. Lily steps away from the podium with effortless grace. "I won't keep you seated all evening," she says with a small smile. "Fashion should be experienced, not lectured about." A ripple of laughter moves through the room. "I encourage all of you to explore the gallery. Speak to one another. Ask questions. Most importantly..." She pauses. "Stay curious." With that, the evening officially begins. Almost immediately, groups begin forming around the exhibits. Daisy hooks her arm through mine. "Come on." She practically drags me toward a display of evening gowns. I stop in front of one made entirely from layers of silk organza. "How does this even stay together?" "The construction is hidden." A voice answers beside me. I turn around. An elderly woman wearing a Parsons faculty badge smiles kindly. "The best garments rarely show you how difficult they are to make." I nod slowly. "I like that." She studies me. "First time here?" "Is it that obvious?"

CASSYBy the second month of the programme, Parsons begins to feel less intimidating.The whispers don't disappear completely. Some people still remember the leaked article. But they no longer define every room I walk into. Now people stop me to ask about fabrics. It's funny how talent changes conversations."Morning."I look up from my locker. Kevin gives me an awkward wave."Morning.""I tried what you suggested.""The shoulder construction?""Yeah.""Did it work?"He grins. "It actually did.""I told you."He laughs before disappearing into the studio.Daisy bumps my shoulder. "Look at you.""What?""Giving fashion advice like you've worked here for years."I roll my eyes. "I just answered a question.""You underestimate yourself too much.""I prefer realistic expectations.""No." She shakes her head. "You prefer hiding."That one lands.

Instead, she looks at me."Cassy Beaumont."I freeze.Lily's eyes finally leave the mannequin and settle on me. They're assessing. Like she's trying to understand the person behind the garment."So you're Cassy." Her voice is surprisingly gentle."Yes, ma'am."She nods once. "Tell me why you designed the shoulders this way."My throat suddenly feels tight. "The client profile described a woman in a position of authority."Lily doesn't interrupt."So I wanted the silhouette to speak before she did."I step closer to the mannequin."The shoulders are structured because confidence should be visible before words are spoken."A few students glance at one another as I continue."The waist is softer because power doesn't have to erase femininity."Silence.Lily studies the garment again.

Like I deserve to be here.Daisy spots me the moment I walk into the studio."Why are you smiling like that?"I hand her my phone.

This is the sixth time I've redraped the same piece of fabric.I undo every pin and start over.Beside me, Daisy whispers, "If she says 'again' one more time, I'm going to cry.""You said that yesterday.""I meant it yesterday too."I laugh under my breath.Madame Laurent's head snaps up. "If you're done entertaining yourselves..."The entire room goes quiet."...perhaps you can entertain me with decent work."Daisy mouths, We're dead.An hour later, Madame Laurent makes another round. She stops at my mannequin. Her fingers smooth over the shoulder line.She checks the waist. The hem. Then she walks away. No correction. No criticism.I blink.
