. "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."Looks like ou

The air in the private lot was thick with the copper tang of blood and the scent of rain-dampened asphalt. Riven loomed over her, a silhouette of jagged edges against the city’s hazy glow. As he moved closer, Bella’s breath hitched, her lungs stuttering as she backed away until the cold, uncompromising metal of the car bit into her spine. There was nowhere left to run.Riven’s lips were parted, his chest heaving with shallow, jagged breaths as if he were drowning on dry land. "Did you say my name?" he rasped again, the space between them evaporating.Fear, raw and paralyzing, flooded Bella’s vision. She tried to bolt, but his hand shot out like a vice, catching her arm. Her heart drummed a frantic rhythm against her ribs—a pulse so violent she could almost taste the metallic thrum of her own blood on her tongue.He pulled her back, not with malice, but with a terrifying, desperate gravity. "Could you say it… just one more time?" His voice didn't sound like a monster’s; it sounded like

Riven tilted his head, a sickening crack-crack of vertebrae echoing against the alley walls. A dark, jagged smirk pulled at his lips—the expression of a man who treated violence like a choreographed dance."So," he began, the words rolling off his tongue with a lazy, terrifying ease, "which one of you wants the honor of being the first to hit the pavement?" he smirked . chuckling The four men exchanged frantic glances. Behind their masks, their breath came in ragged hitches. Finally, their eyes settled on the largest of the group—a mountain of a man they called Big Dog. He was a brute defined by a jagged scar hidden beneath his hood, a souvenir from a heist gone wrong against the city’s elite. and know it seemed he had volunteered to earn another. Big Dog stepped forward, his teeth grinding with a sound like shifting gravel. Riven simply rolled his eyes, the gesture dripping with lethal boredom.The Dance of ViolenceBig Dog lunged, throwing a heavy, unrefined haymaker. Riven didn

.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 outside blurred into soft streaks of gold and white.Her chest rose and fell in a steady, almost musical rhythm. Strands of her African-American curls spilled forward, framing her perfectly symmetrical face, brushing against her soft, slightly chubby cheeks. She looked peaceful. Too peaceful.Riven’s heartbeat shifted the moment he glanced at her.He kept stealing looks at her as he drove through the light traffic, slowing when the signal ahead turned red. Riven Romano never stopped at red lights. Nev

Bella’s eyes slowly lifted toward Riven.The movement was subtle, almost hesitant, as if she wasn’t sure whether she should look at him—but couldn’t stop herself. Her lashes fluttered once before settling, her eyes wide and round, impossibly innocent as they searched his face. There was no accusation in her gaze. No challenge. Just quiet curiosity… and something fragile.For reasons Riven didn’t understand and didn’t want to, he glanced at her at the same exact moment.Just for a second.That second was enough.His attention slipped from the road, stolen by the softness in her expression. The innocence in her eyes reached something in him that had long been untouched, unclaimed. His grip on the steering wheel loosened slightly before tightening again, jaw clenching as he forced his gaze forward.Too late.His eyes had already softened.A faint heat crept up his neck, settling into his cheeks. It wasn’t embarrassment—not entirely. It was something worse. Something gentler. Care mixed w

"Are you hungry?" Riven asked, breaking the silence that had grown thicker with every swallowed word. The quiet between them felt almost suffocating.Bella turned her head slowly, looking at him with open disgust.Why is he asking me that? she asked herself sarcastically, rolling her eyes.Riven noticed her burning attitude. It irritated him—and at the same time, inexplicably thrilled him."You know," he said, eyes fixed on the road, a faint smirk playing on his lips, "you really have a big attitude."Bella turned fully toward him. Riven glanced at her in return, slow and deliberate. His fox-like eyes lowered slightly, dark lashes shadowing them, making them look unfairly attractive.Bella scoffed. "I don’t have an attitude," she signed sharply. "I just have an allergy to people who disgust me—and you’re one of my symptoms.""I disgust you?" Riven asked, uncertain whether the words stung or amused him."Yes," Bella signed angrily. "Men like you disgust me."Riven tightened his grip on
