INICIAR SESIÓNNada’s POVPain exploded in my head when it hit the steering wheel. Everything inside me shook. My vision went white for a moment, and I could not hear anything clearly. The car slowed, but my body felt loose, like it no longer belonged to me.I tasted blood in my mouth. My hands slipped from the wheel. My chest hurt badly, and I struggled to breathe. I knew something was wrong.Before I could even think, the back of the car opened. I did not see it clearly, but I felt movement. Strong hands reached for me, fast and desperate.“Nada,” Harvey shouted. His voice was close. “Stay with me.”I felt him pull me hard. My body screamed in pain as he dragged me out of the driver’s seat. I wanted to help him, but I could not move properly.My legs felt numb. My arms were weak. My head throbbed like it would split open.“Open your eyes,” he said again. “Please.”I tried. I really tried.My feet touched the ground outside the car. Fresh air hit my face, but it did not help. I felt dizzy and sick.
Nada’s POVI stepped into the house and dropped my bag near the door. The place felt quiet, but not peaceful. Harvey followed behind me, his steps slow. I could feel that he wanted to say something, and I was already tired.He stood close to me and cleared his throat. “Nada, please,” he said. “Think about what Aunt Claude said.”I did not answer him. I bent down and removed my shoes. My hands were steady, but my chest felt tight.“She said we should consider remarrying,” Harvey continued. “Maybe she is right.”I straightened up and looked at him once. My face showed nothing. I did not trust my voice enough to speak.“Nada,” he called again. “At least talk to me.”I walked past him toward the bedroom. He followed, still talking, still hoping. I shut the door softly behind me.I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection. My eyes looked tired. My lips were pressed together.I remembered the word he used on me. Slot. It played in my head again. It felt heavy each time.I op
Nada's POVI booked the flight in silence. I sat beside Harvey with my phone in my hand, scrolling without seeing anything. Harvey watched me from the corner of his eye, his jaw tight. Every few seconds, he opened his mouth to speak and closed it again.The tickets came through minutes later. I locked her phone and stood up. “We leave tonight,as I have matters to attend to.” I said. My voice was calm, but my hands were not.Harvey followed me into the bedroom. “Nada,” he said quietly. “Please.”I did not answer. I picked a small suitcase and placed it on the bed. My movements were steady, like I had already decided everything when in fact I was confused.“There has to be another way,” Harvey said. “We can get lawyers. You can easily take the case, or I disappear.”I finally looked at him. “Run?” I asked. “That’s your plan? And you seriously think I'd go against my principles because of?"“I’m trying to protect you from Enzo,” he replied.I laughed, but there w
Velvet’s POV He went on, his voice full of anger. “He talked like he was helping you, like it was all for your future. I thought he was being generous,he’s my friend, after all. But now I see what he really wanted. He wanted you close to him. He wanted you under his roof. That’s why he convinced me to let you come here!”I stood still, every word sinking deep inside me. My mind was spinning. I could barely breathe.“He did that?” I whispered, more to myself than to him. “He asked you to let me come here?”“Yes,” Dad said sharply. “He planned this from the start. You were too innocent to see it. He fooled me, Velvet. He fooled both of us.”I shook my head slowly, tears falling down my face. “No… no, he didn’t fool me. Zavian would never use me like that.”“Wouldn’t he?” Dad said bitterly. “He kept you here, didn’t he? In his house. In his pack. He let people think you were his ward, when all along he was sleeping with you!”“Stop saying that!” I cried, covering my ears. “Please stop!”
Nada’s POVMy phone rang just as I was adjusting my dress. Harvey was behind me, close, his hands still warm on my waist. The sound broke the moment between us. I frowned and reached for my phone.The number was not saved. I almost ignored it. Something told me not to.“Hello?” I said.The voice on the other end was slow and calm. “Miss Nada,” he said. “I was wondering when you would answer. You know it's been a long time since I heard from you.”I froze. Harvey stiffened behind me.“Who is this?” I asked.He chuckled softly. “You know who I am. Enzo.”Harvey’s hands dropped from my waist at once. He stepped back like he had been burned. I turned slightly and saw his face change.“What do you want? Hadn't I made things clear?” I snapped into the phone.“I hear you are enjoying yourself with your cheating ex husband,” Enzo said. “Maldives suits you.”My anger rose fast. “You have no right to call me,” I said. “Matteo is in jail. Harvey is free. Whatever game you’re playing is over. Sto
CHAPTER 75Nada’s POVThe gentle rocking of the yacht was a soft lullaby, pulling me from a deep, satisfied sleep. Moonlight spilled through the porthole, painting a silver stripe across the rumpled white sheets. Harvey was asleep beside me, his breathing deep and even. One of his arms was draped over my waist, possessive even in sleep.My body ached in the most delicious way…a sweet reminder of our first frantic coupling just hours ago.I shifted slightly, and his arm tightened instantly, pulling me back against his warm, naked body. The soft puff of his breath brushed my neck, and a slow, tingling heat spread through my veins. I was sore, yes, but the thought of him…of having him inside me again…made my core clench with need. I pressed my backside against him, a silent invitation.He wasn’t asleep for long.I felt him stir, his lips grazing my shoulder.“Mmm, Nada,” he murmured, his voice low and gravelly. “What are you doing to me?”“Nothing,” I whispered, a small smile tugging at
