Elara’s POV

Sleep didn’t come easily that night.

It came in pieces, broken and restless, like something my body refused to fully accept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him again. Not just his face, but the way he looked at me… like he already knew something about me that I hadn’t even admitted to myself.

And worse, the way I responded.

I turned in bed, pulling the thin blanket closer to my chest, my fingers gripping the fabric as if it could steady the storm inside me. My lips still felt… d

  • Capitulate Into Sinful Desires    Chapter Eighty One

    Adrian's POVThe words didn't register immediately. "...Father Donald is gone."For one second...Two... Three... Nobody moved. The hallway of the convent, usually filled with quiet footsteps and whispered prayers, had become unnaturally silent. I felt Elara's fingers tighten around mine. Not because she was trying to hold on to me. Because she was trying not to collapse.The young nun who had delivered the message was shaking violently. "I... I found the office door open..." She could barely breathe. "There was blood..." She swallowed hard. "So much blood..."Another sister hurried over to support her before she fainted. People were already gathering from every direction. Some whispered prayers. Some cried. Others simply stared. Fear spreads faster than fire. Especially inside a place that was supposed to feel sacred.I turned towards Elara. She hadn't moved. She wasn't blinking. She was staring straight ahead."Elara." Nothing. "Elara." Still nothing. Her lips trembled slightly."No.

  • Capitulate Into Sinful Desires    Chapter Eighty

    Elara's POV"...Adrian?" His name slipped from my lips before I could stop it. The room became so quiet that I could hear the ticking of the old clock hanging above the counseling room door.Marcus slowly released my hand.Neither of us moved. Adrian stood by the entrance, one hand still resting on the doorknob. His breathing was uneven, as though he had rushed here without stopping. Rainwater still clung to the shoulders of his dark coat. His hair wetted. Not from his hair moisturizer, but from the drizzle of rain outside.His eyes... They weren't looking at my face. They were staring at our hands. I quickly pulled mine away. "Adrian..."He finally lifted his gaze to me. "I called." His voice was calm, almost too calm that I felt the cold outside."I know." I whispered loud enough for the room to capture."I texted." He continued."I know." I repeated."I left three voice messages." Our eyes still fixed on each other's.Every word made my chest tighten."I know."His jaw flexed. For

  • Capitulate Into Sinful Desires    Chapter Seventy Nine

    Elara's POVThe click of the library door handle made every muscle in my body freeze. My heart slammed painfully against my ribs. Someone was coming out. I instinctively took a step back, but before I could move any farther, a hand suddenly caught my wrist. I nearly screamed. Marcus. His eyes widened as he silently shook his head."Don't," he mouthed. Without another word, he gently but urgently guided me behind one of the massive marble pillars that supported the old convent corridor. It was the only place nearby large enough to hide two people. We stood in silence. I could hear my own heartbeat. The library door creaked open. Reverend Donald stepped out first. Behind him... Dark leather shoes appeared. Only the shoes. The rest of the figure remained hidden behind the heavy wooden door.Reverend Donald slowly scanned the empty hallway."...Who's there?".No answer.Marcus held his breath beside me.I did the same.For what felt like forever, Reverend Donald remained perfectly still.

  • Capitulate Into Sinful Desires    Chapter Seventy Eight

    Elara's POVFor a long moment after the call ended, I couldn't move.Helen's laughter still echoed inside my ears long after the screen on my phone had gone dark. Slowly, I lowered the device from my ear. The first person I saw was Marcus. He stood a few steps away from me, his brows slightly drawn together, concern softening his features."...Is everything alright?" His voice was gentle.I forced my fingers to loosen around my phone before I smiled. "I'm fine."It was the biggest lie I had told all day. Marcus didn't look convinced, but thankfully he didn't press further.Instead, he gestured towards the counseling room."Would you like to sit for a while? Since you'd be having your counseling meeting soon."I nodded.Anything was better than standing outside with my thoughts threatening to swallow me whole.The counseling room had always been my favorite place in the convent aside the library. Simple, quiet and safe.Sunlight filtered through the old stained-glass window, painting p

  • Capitulate Into Sinful Desires    Chapter Seventy Seven

    Adrian's POVThe road ahead was clear. Yet my mind wasn't. My phone buzzed again on the passenger seat. Elara. Her name flashed across the screen for the fourth time in less than twenty minutes. I stared at it. My fingers tightened around the steering wheel.Then... I rejected the call. Silence returned inside the car. Only the sound of the engine remained."...I'm sorry." The apology came out quietly. Not because she could hear it. Because I needed to say it. Another vibration, amessage. I didn't open it. I had already changed the settings weeks ago. Even when I read her messages, they would remain unread on her side.At first it had seemed ridiculous. Now... It was necessary. If Helen believed Elara could still reach me whenever she wanted... She would keep using her. And I refused to let that happen. Everything happening now... The scandal, the video, the threats, the press conference. Every single problem. It all started with me, not Elara. She had been living peacefully inside t

  • Capitulate Into Sinful Desires    Chapter Seventy Six

    Elara's POVMy heart nearly stopped.The voice behind me wasn't loud.It wasn't threatening either.Yet it startled me enough that my phone slipped from my hand and struck the stone floor with a sharp crack.For one frozen second, I couldn't bring myself to turn around."...Elara?" The voice came again, softer this time.Slowly, I turned. Marcus stood only a few feet away, his brows knitted together with concern. Sunlight filtered through the courtyard, catching the edges of his dark hair. He looked more confused than suspicious. His gaze shifted from my face to the phone on the ground.Then back to me. "Are you alright?"I forced a smile that didn't feel real. "I'm fine."He didn't seem convinced. "You don't look fine."I bent down quickly and picked up my phone, grateful that the screen hadn't shattered. "It was just a call."Marcus remained quiet for a moment before asking gently, "Was someone threatening you?"My fingers tightened around the phone. The answer almost escaped me. Ye

    Adrian’s POV I didn’t move. Not immediately after she left. The library door had slammed shut behind her, the sound echoing louder than it should have and yet, I could still feel her. Her presence, Her warmth, Her hesitation. A slow breath left my lips as I ran a hand through my hair, my ches
