Bought by the Billionaire +18 The Girl He Knows
Ardyn's POVMaybe Caelum hadn’t found me by accident. Maybe he had been looking for me all along.The thought followed me all the way home.I barely remembered the drive back. I remembered the road, the trees passing in the darkness, the cold air coming through the window, but everything else seemed blurred. Revyn's photograph was still in my hand.I had folded it carefully before leaving, almost afraid that if I looked at it too long, the little girl in the picture would disappear.She didn't.She was still there.Small. Thin. Her hair tied badly at the back. Standing beside a woman whose face I had spent years trying to remember.My mother.I had spent my whole life believing she died in an accident.That was the story I had been given.That was the story I had built my childhood around.And now Revyn had looked me in the eyes and told me Caelum ordered her death.I couldn't make those two things exist together.The mansion appeared through the trees, bright windows glowing against

Chapter FortyArdyn's POVThe message came just before midnight.“Meet me where we first saw each other. Come alone. There are things about Caelum you need to know.”I read it twice.Then a third time.I knew exactly who had sent it.Revyn.I should have deleted the message.I should have gone straight to Caelum and shown him.Instead, I slipped my phone into my pocket.Something about the message bothered me.Not the fact that Revyn wanted to see me.The words “there are things about Caelum you need to know” wouldn't leave my head.Ever since Revyn had appeared in my life, he had spoken about Caelum like a man who knew a version of him I had never met.A darker version.A crueler one.And lately, I had begun to wonder if I had been foolish for ignoring him.I left the estate quietly.The old road was almost empty.When I arrived, Revyn was already there, leaning against his car.He looked at me for a moment before straightening.“You came.”“I almost didn't.”“I expected that.”“Then

Chapter Thirty-NineArdyn's POVI woke before Caelum.Again.For a few seconds, I lay still, staring at the ceiling while the events of the previous night came back to me.Revyn.His face.His eyes.The way he had looked at me like he already knew things about my life that I had never told him.And Caelum.The way his body had gone rigid when I asked about his brother.The way he had avoided my questions.The way he had held me afterward, almost desperately, as if holding me tightly enough could keep the past from reaching us.I turned my head.Caelum was asleep beside me.His face looked different when he slept.Younger.Less guarded.For a moment, I almost reached out to touch him.Then I remembered his silence.My hand stopped.I got out of bed.I didn't wake him.I didn't want another argument.Not yet.I needed to think.Downstairs, the house was unusually quiet.I made myself coffee and stood by the kitchen window.Outside, the gardens looked peaceful.It was strange how peacefu

Chapter Thirty-Eight (Caelum's POV)The letter was folded once, tucked beneath the office door like a threat pretending to be polite.I stood there, staring at the seal. The same one I burned out of my father’s journal years ago — a black crest etched with two intertwined serpents and a sword down the center. Thorne blood always bled into legacy and violence. This was both.I opened it with cold fingers.You owe me a debt. You owe me my life.There was no signature. Just that one line. But I knew the handwriting. The way the "y" dipped low. The way the letters tilted like a curse trying to crawl off the page.Revyn Thorne was back.I buried you with my past, I thought. Why are you clawing your way back now?My hands trembled slightly. I folded the letter, slid it into the bottom drawer, and locked it.Ardyn couldn’t know. Not yet.---Flashback: The BetrayalRevyn had been the one person who knew the worst of me and stayed.We grew up in the same hell — same father, different mothers

Chapter Thirty-Seven ArdynIt started with silence. Not the comfortable kind we shared after sex or when his hand found mine under the table. This was heavier. Stretched. Like something unspoken sat between us, thickening the air with every second.Caelum wasn’t cold. He wasn’t angry. But he wasn’t... here either. His body was beside me, still dominant, still possessive in bed, still the same way he always looked at me like I was his to ruin and rebuild again. But something about his eyes? They were far away. Like there was a war I couldn’t see raging just behind them.And I felt it. Like a weight pressing down on my chest.I hadn’t said a word about the name I found days ago. Revyn Thorne. I didn’t even know why it shook me. The paper was old. Torn. But the ink was bold, and the name hit like a scream in a quiet room. I folded it back up and pretended I never saw it.Pretended a lot of things.But pretending only worked for so long.It happened again that morning. Another envelope.

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
