Valiente’s POV

Sitting across from Cassiano and Alaric, my eyes remained shut, fingers tapping gently on the armrest. Their voices drifted in and out of my head.

Something about the ship, my men, and illegal activities.

I should have been listening. But I wasn’t.

My fingers slowly rose to my mouth. I brushed my thumb over my lower lip slowly. The memory of Little Red's rosy lips came back immediately.

The way she’d looked at me, screamed, and how she’d fought me until the very last second. Then

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 39: Going Hunting Soon

    Valiente’s POVSitting across from Cassiano and Alaric, my eyes remained shut, fingers tapping gently on the armrest. Their voices drifted in and out of my head.Something about the ship, my men, and illegal activities.I should have been listening. But I wasn’t.My fingers slowly rose to my mouth. I brushed my thumb over my lower lip slowly. The memory of Little Red's rosy lips came back immediately.The way she’d looked at me, screamed, and how she’d fought me until the very last second. Then how she'd stopped, for that brief moment, she hadn’t pushed me away. That was her mistake.I frowned and opened my eyes, staring at nothing. What the hell had that been? I’d kissed women before. More times than I cared to remember. None of them had ever left me thinking about their lips minutes later.But Little Red…My jaw tightened. I adjusted in my seat.She had been trying to escape me one second, and the next, I had her against a tree with my mouth on hers.And I’d liked it. More than I s

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 38: Sack Of Flour

    Elodie's POV Another low moan came out of me when I felt his cold hand on my stomach. My eyes quickly snapped open. As if realizing it, I forcefully pushed harder against his chest.Finally, his lips broke away from mine. I sucked in a deep breath, my chest rising and falling rapidly.My eyes were wide. My emotions were mixed—shocked, embarrassed... aroused?He didn’t move and neither did I. His dark, unreadable eyes remained fixed on mine. I stared back, too stunned to speak.My lips were burning. I hated that I could still feel his mouth on mine, like they never left.His thumb brushed slowly across my lower lip, and my breath caught. His eyes followed the movement.“Still think I’m a monster?” He asked, his voice low and deep, almost a growl.My stomach twisted. Of course he's still a monster. One stupid kiss couldn't change that.If he thought a simple kiss would make me change my view about him, then he's got another thing coming.But I didn't answer. I was still trying to catch

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 37: Freedom Is A Myth

    Elodie's POV The word ‘freedom’ sounded like a myth.Freedom had to be a myth.Freedom… was a myth.'You’ll get to understand why they call me El Cuervo...'I didn’t understand what Valiente meant until now, when his cold, angry hands were wrapped tightly around my throat for the second time that night, squeezing the air from my lungs.The world seemed to stop.He shoved me backward and slammed me against a tree. I whimpered loudly, my teeth clenched as I fought. Or at least I tried to fight. He was stronger.I managed to look at him, catching the expression on his face. I froze for a second.“You really thought you could run from me?” he asked, his voice resembling that of the devil. His eyes were void of any light.He didn't belong to this world."Go to hell, you bastard!" I shot, driving the knife towards his face again. This time, he caught it in one swift move. He twisted my fingers painfully, and a piercing shriek tore out of me.The knife fell lazily to the ground. "I told y

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 36: Caught A Prey

    Elodie's POV "But…” he spoke again, making my thoughts pause. His voice hardened. “You don’t leave my side.”I nodded too quickly. “I won’t.”“If you run…” He leaned down until we were eye level. “…I’ll catch you.” They say when someone has been trapped for too long and finally sees freedom within reach, they become reckless. Maybe that was what was happening to me. Because despite the warning in his voice, a tiny spark of hope had already begun to grow inside me.A cold shiver crawled up my spine, but I pushed it down.“And this time,” he whispered, “I won’t be nearly as forgiving.”I swallowed hard and nodded again. “I understand.”But I didn’t. Or maybe I did, and that was exactly what made what I was about to do so reckless.The moment the thought of running formed in my head this morning, my heart hasn't stopped pounding.I knew the risk. I knew what would happen if he caught me.But after everything I’d been through, I couldn’t spend another night inside that mansion. Not whe

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 35: Taste Freedom

    Elodie's POV My eyes shot up from the knife to meet Valiente’s steady gaze. I gulped. Had he seen me staring at the knife?“Nothing,” I replied calmly, holding his gaze. His eyes were darker than they had been this morning. More piercing. It could’ve been the dimly lit room.He slowly nodded, as though he wasn’t fully convinced, but he didn’t dwell on it.He summoned for the food to be served. Within five minutes, the table was overflowing with dishes—medium-rare steak, grilled salmon, creamy truffle pasta, garlic butter shrimp, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, fresh bread, and colorful salads.There were bowls of fruit, rich soups, and desserts waiting on a separate trolley. It looked less like dinner and more like a feast prepared for royalty.Was this a feast? He’s probably expecting a guest. Could it be his stepmother, Marisela?But he hadn’t said anything about expecting a visitor.I didn’t care to ask. My nerves were through the roof, my hands trembling on my thighs, my hea

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 34: Limited Edition Watch

    Elodie's POV It was already noon.Bright sunlight streamed through the window, filling the room with a warm glow. The weather looked beautiful and calm. Untroubled. It was the polar opposite of what I was feeling now.My stomach growled loudly, reminding me I hadn’t eaten a thing since morning. The meal Julie had brought in earlier this morning sat cold on the table.I hadn't touched it even after Valiente left. Why would I? She’d been so bitter this morning. Who knew if she’d poisoned it?I could hear the distant chatter of the guards outside. Or maybe it was the maids going about their chores.The ache by my side had dulled down. And the bruise on my lip had stopped bleeding, leaving a faint purple mark.I began pacing slowly around the room, counting in my head and moving my fingers one by one, a habit of mine that's been stuck to me for years. This room was suffocating. And every time I try distracting myself by shutting my eyes, I'm taken back to the scene with Valiente. How

    Elodie's POV I felt a sharp sting on my skin, followed by a low buzz from the tattoo gun. The needle pierced through the flesh of my lower abdomen, digging deep. Finally reacting, I twisted on the bed. Wrong move. Because she pressed my thighs apart, hard, and a sob tore out of me. I shouldn't l

    Elodie's POVI stayed frozen, clutching the blanket to my chest. My heart was pounding so fast I thought I’d pass out. The man turned his eyes to me then. For a second, I couldn’t tell if he was another monster or if I’d just been saved by one.He exhaled slowly, rubbing his forehead as if trying

    Elodie's POVI started gently, rubbing my palms over my face, stomach, and hips. I shouldn't be here. I should have never agreed to this trip.I increased the pace, scrubbing my skin, my nails leaving red lines on my body. But that didn't stop me, I went crazy. I started screaming, working faster,

    Elodie's POVThey say one’s instinct is never wrong, and I should have listened to mine. That gut feeling that twisted my stomach the moment Colin showed me those tickets for this trip, that terrible nightmare I had that night—it was right. I was right to feel that way.The first thing I felt was t
