Chapter Sixteen : His First Obsession

The air between them turned thick—charged like a lit fuse. Zephyra didn’t even look at me. Not once. Her eyes stayed locked on Caelum’s like she’d never stopped owning a piece of him.

And maybe she hadn’t.

I stood still, trying not to tremble, but inside, everything was spiraling. I didn’t want to feel threatened. I didn’t want to care that she was beautiful and poised and moved like she already knew where the cracks were in him.

But I did.

“I see you’re not alone,” she finally said, flicking her gaze to me like I was background noise. “She’s… cute.”

"Looks like mirelle" she Smiled

"What! She knows Mirelle, the woman that looks like me"

Caelum’s mouth pressed into a thin line. “You don’t get to come in here and start something.”

“I’m not here to start anything,” she replied smoothly. “I’m here because I was invited. Remember?”

I turned sharply to Caelum. “What the hell is she talking about?”

His silence said more than words. He hadn’t told me

  • Bought by the Billionaire +18   Bloodlines and Broken Locks

    Chapter Thirty-Six Ardyn I woke up still aching, sore in all the best ways. My legs tangled in sheets that still smelled like Caelum, the faintest ache between my thighs a reminder of everything he did to me in the car last night. We didn’t talk after. He just carried me upstairs, silent, cradling me like something fragile. And I let him, too tired to ask what was twisting inside his chest. The mansion had moods. I used to think it was my paranoia, the way the walls creaked differently depending on who was home, the way the hallways felt colder when Caelum avoided me. But today... today it felt like something was watching. Not someone. Something. Caelum had left early, muttering something about a call with an estate attorney. He kissed my shoulder before he left. Said, "Don’t wait up." I waited anyway. Sort of. I wandered. It wasn’t boredom, not really. It was more like... a pulse under my skin. An itch I couldn’t scratch. After the party, after the exhibitionist moment in th

  • Bought by the Billionaire +18   Velvet Chains and Velvet Lies

    Chapter Thirty-FiveArdyn's Pov I dreamed of a different life last night.It wasn’t the mansion or the brothel. It wasn’t Caelum or anything in between. It was just... me. Standing barefoot in a quiet apartment, the windows cracked open, sunlight pouring in. I was making coffee. There was no collar around my throat. No ghosts in the corners. No eyes watching me like I was something to own.I woke up aching. Not from pain, not even from Caelum’s absence beside me. But from longing.Sometimes I forget I had dreams before all this. Stupid ones, like becoming a baker, or moving to Florence. Sometimes I wonder if the girl I used to be would even recognize me now.I rolled over and stared at the ceiling.He walked in a minute later, dressed in all black, already holding two coffee mugs. “You were frowning in your sleep.”“Maybe I was dreaming of better men.”He set the mugs down, leaned over me, and kissed my forehead. “Impossible.”I hated how easy he made it to forgive him. How his voice

  • Bought by the Billionaire +18   Too Salty, Too late

    Chapter Thirty-four ArdynI hadn’t cooked a damn thing in years. Not properly. Not without someone barking orders behind me or slapping my hand away when I reached for the salt. But that morning, I woke up with a ridiculous idea in my head: I wanted to cook for him.Caelum.The man who’d once called me a plaything. The same one who now, somehow, kissed me like I mattered and held me like I wouldn’t break.I wanted to do something real. Something soft. Something normal. So I grabbed my phone, searched "easy romantic dinners," and watched three YouTube videos with shaky camera angles and perky American voices before deciding on a spicy shrimp pasta that looked way more doable than it actually was.First problem? I didn’t have half the ingredients.So I threw on a hoodie, tied my hair back, and slipped out the front gates, heart pounding like I was breaking a rule.Halfway down the street, as I debated which store even sold paprika, I heard that voice."Domestic looks good on you."My s

  • Bought by the Billionaire +18   Bruises and Steam

    Chapter Thirty-ThreeCaelumMirelle slammed the crystal tumbler onto the edge of my desk. Whiskey spilled down her wrist, but she didn’t flinch. Just stood there in that tailored silk robe like she owned the place—like she owned me."Still playing house with your little maid?"I didn’t look up.She walked around the desk slowly, fingers trailing across the edge. "She’s not even special, Cael. You just need someone to control. And she lets you because she doesn’t know better."I set the pen down, finally meeting her gaze. "She’s more of a woman than you ever were."Mirelle blinked. Her painted lips twitched."You don’t mean that.""I do. And if you knew anything about me, you’d know I stopped lying to myself the day you disappeared."Her laugh was cold. "Don’t pretend I didn’t try to come back. You just made it impossible. You needed someone weaker."I stood."Leave.""You love me," she whispered, stepping closer. Her perfume filled my lungs like poison. "You always have. And you’ll ne

  • Bought by the Billionaire +18   Smoke, Fire, and Flesh

    Chapter Thirty-Two: Smoke, Fire, and FleshArdyn's POVLucien’s hands were warm.Not greedy, not forceful, just steady. Confident. He stood behind me in the training room, his chest brushing my back as he adjusted the angle of my wrist, guiding my aim toward the center of the red silk target nailed against the far wall."Don’t grip it so tightly," he murmured, his breath ghosting my ear. "Let the tension sit in your core, not your hands."His voice shouldn’t have done anything to me, but it did.The way his fingers lingered. The way his body shadowed mine. It wasn’t Caelum’s brand of dominance—dark, demanding, devastating—it was something else. Slower. More deliberate.A weapon aimed not to conquer but to unravel.I exhaled, but the weight in my chest didn’t ease. My entire body ached from the whiplash of the past week—watching Mirelle return like a ghost from hell, watching Caelum bend to her touch. Like he forgot everything he built with me the second her mouth was on him again.Lik

  • Bought by the Billionaire +18   The Taste Of Control

    Chapter Thirty-One: The Taste of ControlArdyn's POVThe silence between us wasn't normal. Not the kind that came after sex or long days or mutual exhaustion. This silence had teeth. It tore at the air like a blade. I could feel it in my bones—in the way Caelum wouldn’t look at me unless he had to, in the way he moved through the house like I wasn’t there. Like I was furniture.No, not even that. Furniture got dusted.He hadn’t touched me in days.And it was driving me fucking insane.I wasn’t the girl who begged for affection. Not before him. Not before this place. But now? Now I was losing it. I was craving him like a drug I couldn't shake, desperate for just one look, one command, one finger wrapped tight around my throat to remind me who I belonged to.But all I got was cold silence and that ghost of a woman floating around in my mind.Mirelle.The way he moaned for her. The things he let her do. I could still hear it.He thought he could keep fucking his past while letting me rot
