.

Just the hum of the engine carried them through the night. Because of the damage, Bella and Riven had to endure a fifteen-minute drive before reaching their hotel. Silence once again flooded the small, enclosed space of the car, thick and uncomfortable, pressing against their chests.

Bella rested her head lightly against the window. The cool midnight air seeped through the glass as thin drops of rain slid down the black-tinted windows, racing each other in uneven paths. The city lights outsid

    "I… I don't know, man. I don't even know where to begin," Kane stammered, the words catching in a throat tight with suppressed rage. His eyes burned, brimming with tears he desperately tried to blink back.Trevor watched him, his expression a mask of confusion and growing concern. He had never seen his friend like this—caught in a chaotic storm of fury and grief. "I don’t follow. What are you trying to say?" Trevor pressed, curiosity finally overriding his hesitation."I don’t know yet," Kane hissed through grounded teeth, his fists clenching so hard the veins corded along his forearms. "But whoever did this… I’ll make sure they burn to ashes.""Stop speaking in riddles and get to the point!" Trevor snapped, his patience finally snapping.Kane’s voice dropped to a lethal, jagged whisper. "I think her father is abusing her.""Abused?" Trevor recoiled, trying to process the weight of the accusation. "How do you know that? Who told you?""I went to check on her because she was acting str

    Lilly collapsed into Kane’s chest, clinging to him as if he were the only solid thing in a crumbling world. Her tears didn’t just fall; they bled into the fabric of his shirt, warm and relentless. She wrapped her arms around his broad waist, her heart splintering into a thousand jagged shards. Her nails dug into his skin, a desperate, unconscious grip, but Kane didn’t flinch. He welcomed the sting, offering his own body as a lightning rod for her agony.He cradled the back of her head, his fingers weaving gently through her hair to anchor her. For a heartbeat, the world fell away. In the circle of his arms, Lilly found a terrifying sanctuary a place where the jagged edges of her trauma felt momentarily smoothed. But the instinct to survive was louder than the need to heal. Panic, sharp and cold, flared in her chest at the weight of her own vulnerability.She wrenched herself away, her breath coming in ragged hitches, her eyes a raw, bloodshot map of grief."Please... just leave," she

    The air in the fitting room was thick with the scent of new fabric and expensive perfume, but for Lily, it felt claustrophobic. Through the thin door, she could hear Samantha and Martha’s muffled giggles of delight. They were enamoured with their reflections, celebrating how the silk hugged their curves and traced the "butterfly" taper of their waists.Trevor’s voice drifted through the wood, warm and encouraging. "I see you finally found a piece to your liking, Lily. Why not give it a whirl?""Yeah... I guess," Lily murmured. Her voice was a ghost of its usual self, flat and dismissive to mask the tremor in her hands."The rooms are clear. Take your time," Trevor offered, his footsteps receding as he led the others toward the checkout. "While she gets settled, let’s get you two squared away at the register."Alone at last, Lily turned to the four-way mirror. It was a cruel piece of glass, capturing every angle of her body, leaving nowhere to hide. She peeled away her clothes with ago

    “Hi?” Kane’s greeting was barely a breath, hesitant yet hopeful.“Hey,” Lilly murmured. She tried to slip past him, but Kane’s fingers brushed her skin, his hand closing gently around hers to anchor her in place. Her heart hammered against her ribs like a trapped bird. She swallowed hard, her throat tight with a dryness that tasted like silver and nerves.“Did I do something?” Kane’s voice dropped to a low, melodic vibration, heavy with genuine concern.Lilly kept her gaze fixed on the floor, shaking her head minutely. Kane didn’t let go; instead, he leaned in, his shadow enveloping her. His expression was a map of worry, his brow furrowed as he searched for a glimpse of her eyes. “Is something wrong? Did I get you into trouble?” He spoke with a slow, agonizing patience that made her skin prickle.“Why would you even care?” Lilly finally snapped. She tried to lace her voice with ice, but the coldness shattered under the weight of the tremor in her breath.The words struck Kane like a

    The fluorescent lights of GalaGirls Boutique hummed with a sterile, predatory clinicality, reflecting off polished marble floors that felt cold beneath Lilly’s heels. Outside, the city mall breathed with the chaotic pulse of the masses, but inside, the air was heavy, saturated with the cloying scent of expensive perfume and the sharp, metallic tang of new fabric.Lilly walked a step behind Martha and Samantha, the silence between them widening into a chasm. The two girls moved with the practiced arrogance of old money, their voices—shrill and rhythmic—slicing through the boutique’s curated quietude."Where is your sister? I haven’t seen her for a long while," Martha drawled, her tongue rolling the words with a lazy, cat-like affectation."Yeah," Samantha chimed in, her neck tilting with a choreographed elegance. "I haven’t seen her since... forever."Lilly felt a familiar prickle of irritation behind her eyelids. She focused on the racks of silk and lace, though her pulse quickened wi

    . "Come on, Bella. Let’s go inside. It’s getting freezing out here," Ace murmured, his breath hitching in a silver mist. He glanced at the bodies cooling nearby and offered a grim, lopsided grin. "I wonder if it’s the weather, or just all these dead bodies—get it? Dead cold?" He waited for a flicker of amusement, but the atmosphere remained heavy with the metallic tang of blood. Bella lifted her head with agonizing slowness. Her eyes, rimmed with a painful, bloodshot red, fixed on him with a flat, unimpressed stare. Not funny, her silence screamed. "Yeah, okay. Tough crowd," Ace muttered, awkwardly scratching the nape of his neck as he let out a dry, forced chuckle. A low, wet groan vibrated from the shadows. One of the downed men stirred, his fingers scraping desperately against the asphalt, trying to claw his way back to a life that was already forfeit. Ace’s eyes went professional and cold for a split second before he turned back to Bella with a forced, playful lilt. "Look

    A beautiful yet simple villa welcomed Kane and sleeping Lilly in the roar of his engine, the sound cutting through the quiet night like a blade through silk. The car slowed as it entered the long driveway, headlights washing over stone paths and shadows that danced across the walls.A beautiful fou

    Lilly’s eyes darted drunkenly to Kane’s face.The man looked like he was born in 3 B.C.—ancient, dangerous, timeless. His features were sharp, almost cruel, yet miserably hot in a way that made her stomach tighten. Ugly was the wrong word. Too striking. Too intense. A face that shouldn’t exist so p

    Riven stood a few steps away from Bella’s hands. His fingers trembled uncontrollably, his index finger twitching as if it had a mind of its own, aching to reach for her. If I touch her… maybe she’ll be okay. Maybe she’ll be fine. His entire body shook as he stood there, frozen. His eyes were blood
