Bound by a billion hearts Episode 8 — The Man Behind the Mirror
Isabella didn’t move.Her reflection in the dark hospital window stared back at her, pale, trembling, eyes wide with fear.But the shadow behind her reflection did not move like a reflection should.It moved independently.Slowly.Deliberately.Her heart pounded so loudly she thought it might shatter her ribs.The phone vibrated again in her hand.Turn around.Her breath came shallow.Every instinct screamed at her to run.But her feet felt frozen to the floor.The shadow stepped closer in the glass.Closer.Closer.Finally, she turned.A man leaned casually against the wall beside the door.He had entered silently.Tall.Elegant.Perfectly composed.His dark suit looked expensive, tailored with effortless precision. His hair was slicked back, his face calm, almost amused.He looked like someone who belonged in a boardroom.Not a nightmare.Isabella stumbled back.“How did you get in here?”The man smiled faintly.“Security is a fascinating illusion,” he said smoothly.His voice was c
Bound by a billion hearts Episode 7 — When Trust Bleeds
The alarms wouldn’t stop.Red lights washed over the hospital room, staining everything in warning.Internal override activated.The words echoed like a verdict.Isabella couldn’t breathe.“I didn’t do anything,” she whispered, but her voice sounded distant, small even to her own ears.Gabriel had already stepped toward the door, speaking sharply into his earpiece.“Trace the signal. Lock all sectors. No one leaves this floor.”Dominic never looked away from her.That was worse than if he had shouted.His gaze was unreadable.Calculating.Cold.“You believe me,” she said, the words trembling as they left her.It wasn’t a question.It was a plea.Dominic’s jaw tightened slightly.“I believe,” he said slowly, “that systems don’t lie.”Her stomach dropped.“And I believe you’re not a traitor.”A fragile thread of air slipped back into her lungs.“But,” he continued quietly, “someone is using you.”The room felt smaller.“I don’t understand,” she said. “How could they use me? I’ve never h
Bound by a billion hearts Episode 6 - If He Dies, I Burn the World
There is a specific kind of silence that follows gunfire.Not peace.Not relief.Just shock.Isabella couldn’t hear the sirens anymore.She couldn’t hear the shouting guards.She couldn’t hear her own sobbing.All she could hear was Dominic’s breathing.Shallow. Unsteady. Wrong.Her hands pressed against his wound, trying desperately to stop the blood. It soaked through her fingers anyway, warm, sticky, terrifyingly real.“Stay with me,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “You don’t get to leave. You don’t get to decide that.”His head lolled slightly, but his eyes found hers.Even now, they were intense.Focused.Possessive.“You’re crying,” he murmured faintly.“Of course I’m crying!” she choked. “You’re bleeding.”A faint ghost of a smirk touched his lips.“Good,” he whispered. “That means you care.”Her heart cracked open.“Don’t joke,” she sobbed. “Please don’t joke.”Footsteps thundered into the room.Medics. Guards.Orders were shouted.Hands pulled her away from him.“No!” sh
Bound by a billion hearts Episode 5 — The Monster I Created
Isabella did not sleep again.Every time she closed her eyes, she felt hands dragging her backward into darkness.Every shadow looked like death.Every sound felt like a threat.She sat curled on the bed, knees drawn to her chest, staring at the locked doors while armed guards patrolled just outside. The mansion no longer felt like a palace.It felt like a fortress.A prison.Dominic stood by the window, speaking quietly into his phone. His voice was cold. Deadly.“I want his network burned to the ground,” he said. “Every ally. Every supplier. Every hidden account.”A pause.“No survivors.”He ended the call and turned slowly.His gaze softened when it found her, but the darkness in his eyes remained.“Come here,” he said gently.She hesitated.Then moved.He opened his arms, and she stepped into them.The moment she did, something inside her broke.She clutched his shirt, shaking as silent sobs tore through her chest.“I’m scared,” she whispered.His arms closed around her instantly.

Beeping.That was the first thing Isabella heard.Slow. Rhythmic. Endless.Her eyelids felt heavy, glued shut. Her body ached in places she couldn’t name. Every breath burned like her lungs were learning to exist again.Voices echoed faintly.“...critical but stable.”"...poisoned dart, sir. Rare compound.”“...lucky she survived.”Survived.The word floated through the fog of her mind.Pain followed.A dull, spreading ache in her chest, her neck, her veins.Isabella groaned softly.Instantly, movement.Warm hands closed around hers.“Isabella.”The voice was deep, hoarse, raw.Her eyes fluttered open.White light flooded her vision. Machines surrounded her. Tubes snaked into her arms. Monitors blinked and hummed beside the bed.And standing over her is Dominic.His hair was disheveled. His jaw unshaven. Dark shadows carved beneath his eyes. His suit jacket was gone, his white shirt wrinkled and faintly stained with blood.Her blood.“You’re awake,” he breathed.Something in his expr
Bound by a billion hearts Episode 3 — The Price of Being His
Sleep never came.No matter how tightly Isabella shut her eyes, the image of that phone screen haunted her.She is next.The words carved themselves into her mind like a threat carved into stone.She lay stiffly in Dominic’s massive bed, staring at the ceiling while the mansion breathed quietly around her. Security patrolled the halls. Guards stood outside the door. Cameras watched every corner.Still, she felt exposed.Unprotected.Beside her, Dominic lay awake.She could feel his presence like heat through the dark. Silent. Unmoving. Alert.Neither of them spoke.There was an unspoken understanding between them, this was no longer a game. No longer a contract. Danger had crossed the threshold.“You don’t have to be afraid,” Dominic said eventually, his voice low.She laughed softly, bitterly. “That’s easy for you to say.”Silence again.“They won’t touch you,” he said. “Not while you’re mine.”The word sent a shiver through her.“Who are they?” she whispered.His jaw tightened. “Gho
