Chasing Red Flags Chapter 9
Chapter 9: Taken AwayI woke gasping, chest heaving as if I’d broken the surface after drowning in deep, dark water. Panic flooded my veins before my eyes could even adjust. My hands were pulled taut above me—chained, locked fast to the headboard. A thick, soft blindfold sealed away every glimmer of light, leaving me in absolute darkness.I strained against the bonds, rattling the heavy iron links. They were short, unyielding. I couldn’t reach far enough to free myself.The mattress beneath me was soft, expensive, silk and down—proof I was somewhere exclusive, somewhere far above the ordinary. Why am I chained like a prisoner? I thought, wild with fear. I’m no threat to anyone. I can’t hurt a soul.The door clicked open.My breath caught. Heavy footsteps crossed the room, slow and deliberate. The door clicked shut again. Silence settled—thick, suffocating, charged with a presence so intense it made my skin prickle. The bed dipped under his weight.I held perfectly still, heart hammeri
Chasing Red Flags Chapter 8
Chapter 8: The Wedding That Never Was I lifted a spoonful of cake to my mouth, hoping its sweetness might soothe the restless, aching knot in my chest. My mind raced—overthinking every word Kyrie had spoken, every glance he’d given. What was his plan? How would he stop this? Tomorrow was the wedding. And nothing had changed. Grandpa Eli had gathered us all for a final dinner at the mansion—a formal farewell, a tradition for every family member entering a marriage arranged by our blood and our names. Laughter and polite conversation drifted around the long table, but I sat apart from it all, seeing nothing, hearing nothing. This was the first time I’d ever felt this hollow—this utterly alone. Is this what every bride feels on the eve of her wedding? I wondered. Shouldn’t I be happy? Isn’t that what they’re supposed to be? And then the thought struck me, sharp and sudden: What would this feel like… if I were marrying the man I loved? I laughed bitterly inside my own head. Foolish,
Chasing Red Flags Chapter 7
Chapter 7: My Fiancé, My FriendI slipped away to the restroom, needing only a moment to breathe, to be apart from them. They were discussing the wedding—scheduled to take place before the month ended. Once we were married, their grand project would launch exactly as they’d planned. It was all so perfectly, painfully business.I lifted my gaze to the mirror. My reflection stared back at me, and though I said nothing, the sadness in my eyes was unmistakable. I wondered… had they noticed it too?And why did I feel this way, anyway?I was washing my hands when the door swung open. I turned, surprised—and nearly raised an eyebrow in shock.Kyrie hurried inside and locked the door behind him.“We need to talk,” he said, voice dropping into that frank, unguarded tone he no longer hid from me.I smirked, crossing my arms. “Talk about what?” I arched a brow at him.“Are you truly going through with this?” he asked, serious now.“As if I have a choice,” I replied coolly. “It was decided long b

Chapter 6: Her GroomI winced as pain shot through every inch of me. That night had been wild—he’d claimed me completely, holding nothing back, even dragging me into his arms well past dawn.Was he really that hungry for me?I could barely walk! Every step throbbed, like my body had been remade by his hands alone. It felt as though I’d been split open, stitched together only by the warmth he left behind.Tears pricked my eyes—not from pain, but from something softer, something I dared not name. I stumbled out of bed, grabbed his crisp dress shirt off the floor, and pulled it on over my underwear. I had to leave before he stepped out of that shower. I knew the second he saw me, he’d pull me back into his arms and start all over again.And God help me—I’d let him.I limped toward the door, reaching for my heels—then heard the lock click open.My breath caught. “Oh god.”Ignoring the ache screaming through my legs, I scrambled to unlock the door and fled. I heard him call my second name—

Chapter 5Leon was there with Tori, his first girlfriend. But I didn’t care—because his eyes were only on me.Funny how he walked in with her, yet he looked like he belonged to me.“Hi,” I called out, cutting through the crowd swarming around him.He gave a faint, knowing smile, biting his lower lip just enough to show he liked me taking the lead. Tori’s hand slipped from his arm.“Hi, Ava,” Arthur greeted me.I smiled back briefly, then turned my gaze straight to Leon. “You don’t mind if we talk, do you?” I asked, bold and sure.He narrowed his eyes at me. I knew exactly what he was thinking—why is she coming to me first?“Doesn’t your cousin hate the idea of you near me?” he asked. “He told me to stay the hell away from you last time we saw each other.”I rolled my eyes. “If you don’t want to… I’m sure Arthur can keep me company tonight.” I rested my hand lightly on Arthur’s arm, brushing my fingers over it. Arthur caught my hand at once, laughing softly.“Come on, man,” Arthur grin

Chapter 4: Now or NeverForbidden fruit really does taste the sweetest.After that encounter, Tyler dragged me away. He said I shouldn’t get close to Leon.“You know how I feel about him! Why do you keep meddling in my life when I never interfere with yours?” I shouted once we got back to the apartment.“Your father asked me to. Have you forgotten you’re already promised to someone? You should be focusing on becoming a proper wife.”I gritted my teeth, furious. “Why should I even try for a stranger? I know we’ll never get along!”“Maybe you will, maybe you won’t, Avar Sloan. You know your life is already set in stone—so stick to it!” He snapped and threw the door open.I stormed after him, but stopped short when I bumped into his back. “Move! Get out of my way!” I shoved him.Tyler spread his arms wide, blocking my path. He was so much bigger than me, yet he stood firm. I peeked past him and saw Rose standing in the living room, holding a cup of coffee.She stared straight at Tyler. T
