Bound by Sin: The Heir & His Stepmother CHAPTER 74 — THE PRICE OF STUBBORNNESS (CASSIUS)
The buzzing of the cell phone on the nightstand pierced the silence of the room like a needle in the brain. I woke up with the bitter taste of bile in my mouth, my ribs aching with every breath, my head heavy as if filled with lead.The doctor was asleep in the armchair beside the bed, the idiot. I paid him to watch over me, not to nap.I stretched out a trembling hand and grabbed the phone. The screen glowed with an encrypted message — the emergency channel I reserved for situations that demanded absolute discretion.“Intrusion in Sector 7. Perimeter breached. Target extracted. Controlled explosion triggered. Awaiting confirmation of bodies.”My blood ran cold.Sector 7. The complex where I kept Zweig — the doctor who had poisoned Anneliese, the only living witness who could incriminate me. Someone had broken into the place. Someone had tried to extract him. And then, an explosion.It wasn’t a coincidence. It wasn’t a common robbery. It was surgical. Methodical. The signature of some
Bound by Sin: The Heir & His Stepmother CHAPTER 73 — THE NOCTURNAL HUNT (TRISTAN/LÖWE)
The suitcase on the bed was small, discreet, black. Inside, there were no clothes. There was enough for a war: three extra magazines for the Nachtkönigin, a case of carbon steel blades, a first aid kit with bandages and coagulants, two thermal camouflage devices the size of cigarette packs, and the biodegradable bullets — green, translucent, lethal. Each one a poem of silent destruction. Each one, my signature.My body still vibrated with the memory of Aurora, her scent on my skin, her taste in my mouth. But the beast was being set aside. Now, the strategist was speaking.The bedroom door opened without a sound. She entered like a shadow, the champagne-colored silk robe wrapping her body, her loose hair falling over her shoulders. Her eyes found the suitcase, the weapons, the devices. She didn’t ask what it was. She knew.“When are you coming back?” Her voice was calm, but there was tension in it.“Depends. Tomorrow. Maybe later.”She approached, her fingers tracing the edge of the su
Bound by Sin: The Heir & His Stepmother CHAPTER 72 — The Rats Abandoning The Ship (Lena)
The television in the living room was tuned to the financial news channel, more out of habit than interest. My eyes were glued to the screen, although my mind was a thousand miles away, trapped in that glass cage Cassius called “protection.”His bodyguards were outside. Two silent and efficient men who followed me everywhere, who monitored every call, every outing, every breath. Protection, he said. House arrest was the truth.And then the headline scrolled across the bottom of the screen.“Arms magnate Cassius Delyon suffers sudden illness at his residence. Health condition is stable, but the businessman remains under observation.”The coffee in my hand trembled. The hot liquid spilled over the edge of the cup, burning my fingers, but I barely felt it.Sudden illness.Cassius was never sick. Cassius was a wall, an indestructible fortress. He had survived scandals, enemies, investigations, everything. And now, out of nowhere, a “sudden illness”?No. It wasn’t a coincidence.Tristan.T
Bound by Sin: The Heir & His Stepmother CHAPTER 71 — The Breakfast Of The Wounded Birds (Aurora)
Morning light poured through the dining room windows like a balm, golden and soft, almost maternal. It was as if the sun, for the first time in years, had decided to bless that mahogany table that had always seemed like a gallows to me.Cassius was locked away in his room, under the care of the doctor and his own newly discovered fragility. Lena, exiled in her own disgrace. Erika, hysterical in her wedding dress stained with imaginary tears. For a moment, they were all off the stage.Only the three of us remained.August was sitting to my right, his little feet swinging under the chair, a piece of bread with jam in his hand and eyes shining with a joy I hadn’t seen in weeks.“Mami, Onkel Tristan said that today I can play in the garden after breakfast!” he announced, his mouth smeared with red.“Onkel Tristan said?” I raised an eyebrow, looking at Tristan, who sat across from me with a cup of black coffee between his hands.“He did,” Tristan confirmed, his voice softer than I had ever
Bound by Sin: The Heir & His Stepmother CHAPTER 70 — The Price Of The Hunt (Tristan/Löwe)
I left the atelier with the taste of her still on my lips, the scent of our sex ingrained in my skin, and the marks of her nails on my arms burning like trophies. The beast was sated, but not tamed. Never.Edda was leaning against the opposite wall, her blue eyes assessing me with her usual coldness. She had seen everything in this life, yet there was still a glint of amusement in her gaze that almost made me smile.Almost.“Edda.”“Löwe.”“The next time she plans something like this…” My voice was low and controlled, but each word was a steel bar. “You warn me. Before. Not after. You don’t let me find out afterward.”She didn’t apologize. That wasn’t her style.“She asked me not to tell you.”“And you obeyed.”“She is your partner. Not your subordinate.” Edda held my gaze. “Your mistake was thinking you could protect her by hiding the world from her. She isn’t a hothouse flower, Löwe. She is a vampire orchid. She grows in darkness. She feeds on shadows. And you know that.”The silenc
Bound by Sin: The Heir & His Stepmother CHAPTER 69 — The Taste Of Victory (Aurora)
Tristan’s mouth was both punishment and absolution. He kissed me as if I were the last bottle of water in a world on fire — with desperation, with hunger, with a devotion that bordered on madness. His fingers buried themselves in my hair, pulling my head back and exposing my neck to his teeth.“You have no idea what you did to me today,” he growled against my skin, his voice a vibration that echoed straight between my legs. “Knowing that you drugged him. That you dragged his body across the office. That you robbed his safe.” His hand tightened on my thigh, spreading my legs even further. “You’ve become even more dangerous, Aurora. And I’ve been rock hard because of it for hours.”A low, obscene, and satisfied laugh escaped me.“Hours?” I teased, my fingers unbuttoning his shirt with an urgency that made my fingertips burn. “So you knew, and you did nothing? You stayed in your meetings, negotiating weapons, with your cock throbbing while you thought about me?”“I wanted to take a break
