Sage POV

The sniper photo on the screen felt like a knife pressed to my throat.

A red dot danced across the safe house entrance in the live feed. Someone was out there, watching, waiting for the perfect moment.

My stomach twisted, but I refused to let fear win. I stood taller beside Mark, my hand still gripped tightly in his.

“He’s trying to scare us,” I said, voice steadier than I felt. “Don’t let him.”

Mark’s jaw was clenched so hard the muscle jumped. His green eyes were dark with barely con

  • DADDY'S LITTLE PLAYTHING    Epilogue

    Sage POV Six Months LaterThe warm Mediterranean sun kissed my skin as I stood on the private terrace of our villa in Santorini. The Aegean Sea stretched out below us like a sparkling blue jewel. Whitewashed walls and bougainvillea surrounded me, and the gentle breeze carried the scent of salt and wildflowers.I wore a simple white sundress that barely reached mid-thigh. Underneath, I wore nothing at all — just like Mark had ordered this morning.Strong arms wrapped around me from behind. Mark’s bare chest pressed against my back, his lips brushing the shell of my ear.“You look beautiful, Mrs. Arthur,” he murmured, voice low and rough in that way that still made my knees weak.I leaned back into him, smiling. “I still can’t believe you made me take your last name so fast.”His hands slid down my sides, possessively cupping my breasts through the thin fabric. “I waited long enough. Six months was my limit. You’re mine in every way now.”I turned in his arms and looked up at him. He l

    Mark POV“Sage! No—Sage!”My voice cracked as I dropped to my knees beside her. Blood poured from the gunshot wound in her side, soaking my hands as I pressed down hard.“Little bird… stay with me. Please, baby, stay with me.”Her eyes fluttered, unfocused, but she managed a weak smile.“I love you… Daddy…” she whispered.Then her head lolled to the side, and her body went limp.Terror, as I had never known, slammed into me.“No! Sage!” I roared, scooping her up in my arms despite the screaming pain in my own wounds. “Hector! Medic! Now!”Hector was already shouting into his comms. “Medical team to the east wing! Gunshot wound, critical bleeding! Move!”I ran through the smoke-filled hallway, Sage’s blood dripping onto the floor with every step. Her body felt too light, too still in my arms.The medical team met us halfway, wheeling a stretcher. They tried to take her from me.I snarled, refusing to let go until the last second.“Save her,” I ordered, voice breaking. “If she dies, eve

    Sage POVTwenty minutes.That was all we had before Vincent DeLuca arrived with everything he had left — men, weapons, and a burning desire to destroy the man I loved.The villa had turned into a fortress in record time. Hector’s team barricaded every entrance, set up sniper positions on the roof, and armed every available person. Mark moved through the chaos like a general, issuing orders despite the fresh blood seeping through his bandages.I stayed right beside him, pistol holstered at my hip, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it might burst.Mark pulled me into a side room for a moment of privacy. His hands gripped my face roughly, green eyes blazing with intensity.“Listen to me, little bird,” he said, voice low and commanding. “When Vincent gets here, chaos is going to break out. You do not leave my side. If I fall, you run to Hector. Do you understand?”I shook my head, tears stinging my eyes. “I’m not running. I’m fighting with you. We promised—”His mouth crashed down on

    Sage POVThe helicopter blades thundered above us as we raced through the night sky. Mark was slumped against me, his blood soaking through my shirt and his own. The bullet wound in his chest was bleeding heavily, and his face had gone pale beneath the soot and sweat.“Stay with me, Daddy,” I whispered urgently, pressing harder against the wound with both hands. “Don’t you dare close your eyes.”Mark’s green eyes fluttered open, locking onto mine with that fierce, possessive intensity even now. His hand weakly covered mine.“Not… going anywhere,” he rasped. “Not when my little bird still needs me to fuck her properly.”A broken laugh escaped me through the tears. “Save your strength for that promise.”The pilot shouted over the comms, “Landing zone in ninety seconds! We’ve got a medical team waiting at the secondary safe house!”Hector was on the other side, applying pressure to another wound while Beth frantically worked on her laptop, trying to jam any tracking signals Vincent might

    Mark POVThe timer on the screen counted down with merciless precision.Vincent’s voice echoed through the speakers one last time before cutting off:“Fifty-eight minutes, Arthur. Transfer the company or watch your new toy burn with the rest of you.”The line went dead.I kept Sage pressed tight against my chest, my hand tangled in her hair. Her heart hammered against me. She was trembling, but not from fear — from pure, burning adrenaline.“We’re not dying here,” I growled. “Not today.”Hector burst into the server room, breathing hard, blood on his cheek from a graze. “East and west wings are compromised. They’ve got at least fifteen men inside. Explosives are confirmed on the lower levels — Vincent isn’t bluffing about leveling the place.”Beth was already moving, yanking cables and drives from the servers. “I can’t stop the detonation from here. The trigger is remote and hardened. We have to get out before it hits critical mass.”Sage pulled back just enough to look up at me, her

His green eyes were dark with barely controlled rage. “He’s not scaring me. He’s signing his own death warrant.”Hector moved fast, barking orders into his comms. “All teams, go dark. Shut down exterior lights. Activate full blackout protocol. Snipers on the roof — find that spotter and neutralize.”Beth was already typing furiously. “I’m spoofing our location feeds. He’ll see ghosts for the next twenty minutes. But that won’t hold forever.”Mark turned to me, his bloody, bandaged hand cupping my face with surprising gentleness.“Litt

    Mark’s POVSage thought I was leaving her behind. She thought I was walking out that door and never coming back. I could see it in her eyes, the way she clutched my shirt like she could hold me here if she just held on tight enough.She was wrong. I wasn’t leaving her. NeverI was protecting her.

    I woke up to the weight of Mark’s arm draped across my waist, his body warm and solid behind me. The room was still dim, the sky outside a deep shade of blue, just before dawn. The storm had passed, leaving the air thick and humid.For a moment, I just lay there, my body sore in the best way possib
