Chapter 126: Crossing the Line.

"What do you mean by that?"

Theon didn't answer. He just kept walking, his hands in his pockets, his pace unhurried.

Lena grabbed his sleeve.

"Hey. I asked you a question."

He glanced down at her fingers curled around his sleeve, then lifted his gaze to her face.

"It means exactly what I said."

He pulled his arm free gently.

"Don't overthink it."

Before she could argue, the front door opened.

A butler in a crisp dark suit bowed slightly.

    Lena excused herself to pick up the call.At first, her expression was neutral, then it shifted.Her brows drew together. She pressed her lips tightly.By the time she ended the call, her face had gone pale.Theon watched from a distance.His eyes narrowed slightly.Something about the way she stood there—tense and shaken, set something off in him.His jaw clenched. The tightness in his chest grew worse.He quickly looked away, and walked further down the beach.—A few minutes later, footsteps rushed across the sand.“Theon—”He stopped.Lena reached him, slightly out of breath. Her fingers curled into her shirt as she tried to steady herself.“Can we go back?” she asked quickly. “Today. Like right now.”Theon turned slowly. His gaze sharpened.“Why?”“It’s Rhys.”Her voice wavered.“Something happened. He won’t tell me what it is over the phone.”She swallowed.“I—”“No.”The word cut her off coldly.Lena froze.Theon’s hand tightened inside his pocket.“Please,” she said, stepping

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    I Wasn’t Enough

    Lena's heart slammed hard against her ribs.Theon didn't move. He didn’t look away either.He just stood there, his gaze locked on her face as if he was waiting for something—waiting for her to react, or pull away.Lena's thoughts scattered.For a moment, she couldn’t breathe properly, or even think.Theon leaned in slowly.His lips brushed the corner of her mouth. Not quite a kiss. But close enough to steal her breath.Lena trembled.She felt his warm breath against her skin."Perfect," Phillip whispered.Click.The camera captured it.—The sun was setting by the time they reached the beach.Lena sat on the sand, watching the sky shift from orange to pink, and then to gold. The waves lapped at the shore, slow and steady.Theon sat beside her."It's been a long time," she said quietly, "since I went out like this… and felt alive."Theon turned his head to look at her.She met his gaze.Something in his eyes had changed. The usual teasing edge was gone. What remained was softer.“Than

    Caspian pushed himself off the workbench and walked toward the door."The coffee is just caffeine," he said over his shoulder. "The advice is the real gift."The door closed behind him.Theon sat in the silence, his father's words echoing in his ears."You don't have to live by morals all the time.""If another person is hesitating… beat them to it."He looked at the clock.Five-thirty in the morning.His jaw tightened.‘Is that really the problem?’‘What do I actually feel for her?’The thought sat heavy in his chest.He exhaled and stood, heading back to his room.His hand paused on the door. Then he pushed it open.A lump was under the blanket. Covered from head to toe.His brows drew together.‘Is she trying to suffocate herself?’He walked over and pulled the blanket down.Lena scrunched her face. “What are you doing?”Theon didn’t answer. He just looked at her.Her hair was messy, her eyes half-open, lips slightly parted from sleep.“What’s wrong with you?” she muttered, grabbin

    Dinner felt endless.Jessica chatted on, unaware of the tension sitting between the two of them. Her voice carried warmth, easy and bright, filling the room.Lena nodded when needed, smiled when expected, and answered when spoken to.But her mind stayed elsewhere.The lack of guest room.Every now and then, she felt Theon's gaze on her.She turned once.Theon was already looking at her. His gaze unreadable.Her heart skipped.She looked away at once.—By the time dinner ended, Lena felt mentally drained.Theon led her back without a word.They walked the long hallway again.This time, she kept her eyes forward.He pushed the door open and stepped aside.“After you.”She hesitated. Then walked in.Her eyes went straight to the bed.Only one.Her throat tightened.“I’ll take the couch.”She turned.Theon was already pulling out a folded blanket from the closet.“For the record,” he added, not looking at her, “I didn’t know about the guest room arrangement.”She frowned.“You didn’t?”“

    Theon went very still.His gaze locked on the tears gathering in her eyes. His hand was still on her waist. He didn't let go. He couldn't. He knew—if he did, she would walk out.And something in him refused to allow that."Lena.""Don't." She shook her head. "Don't say my name like that."She tried to pull away. His grip held her firm."Let me go.""No."Her eyes flashed. "I said let me go."She shoved him back. Hard."Do not touch me again."Her chest rose and fell sharply. Her lips trembled—still stinging from where he'd bitten her."You said this was a favor." Her voice shook. "You didn't say I had to sell myself for it.""Lena—""I don't want to hear anything from you." Her fists tightened. "You don't get to touch me or kiss me without my permission."She took a deep breath."Stay away from me."She turned to walk away."...I'm sorry."The words came out low. Lena paused. She turned back. He was staring at her, his eyes narrowed, and unreadable."I'm not sorry I kissed you

"Don't overthink it." Before she could argue, the front door opened. A butler in a crisp dark suit bowed slightly. "Young master. Welcome home." Theon nodded and stepped inside. Lena hesitated, then followed. The foyer was enormous. Marble floors stretched out beneath her feet, a crystal chandelier hanging above. Fresh flowers sat on a long console table, filling the space with a soft scent. She suddenly felt very aware of her baggy hoodie and sneakers. "Your parents are in the drawing room," the butler said. Theon didn't slow down. Lena hurried after him. — The drawing room was warm, filled with soft light
