For five minutes, Tamsin didn't move.

She just sat there at the edge of the bed, staring at her phone.

The screen had gone dark, but she could still see it.

Jordan.

Judith.

The words.

Over and over in her head.

She wasn't crying.

She wasn't breathing loud.

She wasn't doing anything.

Her mind was blank, but loud at the same time.

Like static.

Live a TV with no signal.

Prom king and Queen?

Payback.

Revenge.

The start of your sorrows—

Her fingers were still holding the phone even though it was tur

  • DANGEROUSLY YOURS    CHAPTER 57 Forbidden things wait patiently

    NEW YORK, MANHATTAN JORDAN'S PENTHOUSE ★It was a little past two in the afternoon in Manhattan, but no one in the penthouse would have known it. Jordan lounged in a leather chair shirtless. Over the past few months he had grown broader and harder. His body built into something heavy and dangerous. Ink now covered him. Across his upper chest, just beneath the collarbone, was the name Judith in bold black letters, a skull set beside it.He pulled on a thick stick of weed, slow and deliberate.Judith sat astride his lap, rocking against him in a lazy, shameless rhythm. Her lips were painted black. She wore a scrap of black fabric that barely counted as a top and bottoms that left out her ass cheeks for display.On the inside of her thigh, close to her knee, his name was inked beside a flower. Another Jordan, wrapped in skulls, ran down her back.Her hair was the same ginger as before, but she had cut bangs across her forehead, copying Ta

  • DANGEROUSLY YOURS    CHAPTER 56 A seat taken by force

    Ruiz shot to his feet. In two quick strides he crossed the room, seized Dacio by the throat, and shoved him backward. "What did you just say?" he snarled. "You are the one who came to me, told me you wanted your stepdaughter to marry my son. And now you think you can stand here and call off the engagement? Not on my watch, Dacio. Not on my watch."Dacio wrenched himself free and shoved Ruiz right back, hard enough to make him stumble."Who do you think you are, Ruiz?" he said, his voice low and cold. "Yes, I was the one who brought it up. I said I wanted your son to marry my daughter. It was a suggestion. I never thought you would take it so seriously.He straightened his jacket, his eyes never leaving Ruiz's face."But I meant what I said. I truly wanted that union. Tamsin, however, does not like your son, and she has her reasons. I made a promise to her mother, and to her, that I would never force her into anything. So yes, I am calling off this engagement. Right here. Right now.

  • DANGEROUSLY YOURS    CHAPTER 55 Boats lost in fog

    For several long minutes, Mario stood rooted in the hallway, the phone cold in his hand, Tamsin's words still burning on the screen Friends. The word echoed in his skull like a door slamming shut. Students streamed past him, laughing, whispering about Dario, but none of it reached him.At last he drew a shaky breath, slid the phone into his pocket, and began walking toward his lecture hall.His steps were slow, heavy.His thoughts drifted to Hugo, and guilt settled in his chest like a stone. They had been enemies for too long. Months of sharp words, fights, cold stares, and silence had stretched between them until he could barely remember when it had started. Lately he had felt it worse, the distance widening. The two of them drifting like boats losing sight of each other in fog. It hurt more than he had ever admitted, even to himself.He needed to fix it.He would find Hugo and apologize for all of it. The fights, the pride, the things he should never have said. He didn't k

  • DANGEROUSLY YOURS    CHAPTER 54 The cruellest word is friends

    The sound that escaped Tamsin's lips was a small, broken gasp, the kind a person makes when the floor disappears beneath them. Shock froze her against the pillows, her eyes wide, her fingers curling into the blanket. For one suspended heartbeat she only stared at the girl in the doorway, a gift bag clutched in her hands, as though her mind refused to believe what her eyes were showing her.Then the shock cracked, and what poured out from underneath was fury."What the fuck are you doing here, bitch?" Her voice shook, raw from days of weakness, yet it rang through the room like a slap. "Have you come to complete what you started?"Teodora flinched as though the words had struck her. Instinct carried her a step forward, the gifts still held out in front of her like a shield, and her whole body had already begun to tremble. "No, Tamsin, no. I only came to give you these." Her voice wavered. "I heard what happened to you, and I just wanted to see how you were doing."Tamsin jerked uprig

    Tamsin woke with a start, her breath catching in her throat. A sharp, pounding pain split through her head, and she lifted a trembling hand to hold it. A low, painful moan slipped past her lips.Beside the bed, Teal had finally fallen asleep in the chair she had refused to leave since last night. The moment that faint sound reached her, her eyes flew open. She jerked upright, her heart hammering."Tamsin?"Slowly, so slowly, her daughter's eyelids fluttered open and her gaze turned toward her. Teal's hands shot out and gathered her close, and the tears came before she could stop them."Baby, you're awake. Oh, thank God. Thank God!”Her cry carried through the door and down the corridor, and the whole house seemed to wake with it."She's awake! Tamsin is awake!"Dacio was out with the police, giving his statement for the boy's trial, so the room did not have him. But everyone else came running. Maria rushed in with the maids behind her, followed by the bodyguards and even the men

    Hugo had already turned away by the time the question left his father's mouth. His face hardened into the cold, unreadable mask he wore around Dacio now, the one that had replaced every softer expression years ago. Resentment sat behind his eyes, quiet and old.He turned back slowly, lips parting to answer.Footsteps pounded down the upstairs hallway."Mr. Bruno! Master Bruno!" The family doctor appeared at the top of the stairs, gripping the railing, his glasses crooked. "She's moving! I think she's regaining consciousness!"Hugo didn't pause. He had been heading to the kitchen for water, but he changed direction so fast that the glass he'd been reaching for was forgotten. He took the stairs two at a time. Dacio stood frozen for a few seconds, then collected himself and followed.They burst into the room together.Tamsin lay on the bed, pale against the white sheets. Her fingers twitched. Her toes curled and uncurled beneath the blanket. But her eyes stayed closed, and her fa
