But on one faithful morning my mum announced a heartbreaking information. She was going to marry the professor I lusted over. The one man I had imagined one day he would pin me down to his bed. Mr Chadwick is cold, brilliant, and sexy. He hated me for being dull and feminine but behind those eyes filled with fury, his darkest desires loomed around me. In public, Mr Chadwick is the perfect academic and the perfect step father. But behind closed doors of the study, he is a predator who had discovered my darkest secrets: a sketchbook filled with obsessive drawings of him. Now, the lessons have changed. Chadwick doesn't want me to study books; he wants me to study him. It was supposed to be a punishment. He curses me on the outside but claims me like a hungry lion every night. Under my mum's roof. It was supposed to break my spirit. But he found out, he lusted over the very thing he hated.
View MoreDanny's POV The villa was… a lot. I mean it was massive. We drove through these towering iron gates, the tires crunching on gravel, and then there it was all glass, steel, and lights blinking against the night sky. It looked like the kind of place they had film one of those moody dramas where nobody ever actually laughs.“Does this house even belong to you?” I asked, my voice sounding way too small in the silence. I was still shivering a little from the rain, and my head was spinning.Chadwick didn't even look at me. He just killed the engine. “Well, then whose is it?” He pushed his door open. “Go get changed. Your room is upstairs, the first door on the right.”I didn't argue. I just headed up the staircase, my hand trailing along the smooth banister. Everything felt expensive. It was too quiet.I pushed the first door open and stopped dead.It was a bedroom, sure, but it was my new bedroom maybe. I walked over to the wardrobe, my heart doing this weird, erratic tap dance against m
Chadwicks POV The rain in this city doesn't wash anything away. It just turns the grime into a slick, black sludge. I had been driving for hours, my knuckles aching against the steering wheel, my eyes scanning every goddamn shadow. My phone was a dead weight in my pocket, but I had checked it every thirty seconds. Nothing. No word from Erica, no word from his friends, no word from the kid.My gut was a knot of pure, unadulterated acid. Sarah was back at the house, probably nursing her bruised ego, but I didn't care about her. I didn't care about the scandal. I didn't care about anything except the fact that Danny was out there, somewhere in the dark, caught in a storm he wasn't built to survive. The kid caught a cold if the wind blew the wrong way. If he was out in this…I pulled the car over, not because I had a lead, but because I couldn't keep driving blindly. I stepped out into the downpour. The water hit me like gravel, freezing and unforgiving. I ducked into a dive bar on t
Chadwick's POVI caught her wrist mid air. It felt brittle, fragile nothing like the iron willed woman she pretended to be. I twisted, just a fraction, and her eyes widened."Don't you dare," I whispered. My voice wasn't loud, but it was lethal. It was the sound of a man who had finally decided the cost of keeping secrets was too high. "Don't you dare hit that boy's face."She pulled back, her chest heaving, her face a blotchy, ugly mask of shock. She looked at me, then at Danny, then back to me, her breath hitching. "You... you don't know what he is. You don't know what's happening in this house. He is sick, Chadwick! He is gay. He wants to run off to Paris to be with men!"I stared at her. A dark, jagged bubble of laughter clawed its way up my throat. It was so absurd, so perfectly, wonderfully pathetic, that I couldn't stop it. I let it out, a low, harsh sound that bounced off the torn canvases littering the floor.Danny looked at me like I had lost my mind. I didn't blame him. I
Danny's POV The cafe on 5th floor was loud, but it sounded like background noise a hum of people living lives that didn't feel like a slow motion. Erica sat across from me, her sharp nails tapping on the marble table. She looked like she knew something I didn't, her eyes scanning my face with that predatory, bored look that usually meant my life was about to get complicated. "You look like shit, Danny," she said, blunt as a blade. I leaned back, my iced coffee sweating onto the table. "Thanks. Good to see you too." "I saw Noah," she said, dropping the bomb without even looking at me. "He is loosing it. He wants you, Danny. But that’s not why I am here." She pulled out a heavy, cream colored envelope and slid it toward me. "An art competition, hosting in Paris. Full funding, studio space, the works, which is perfect for you. If you win the final contest in Paris, you are made for life." I stared at the envelope. My heart jumped, that familiar, sharp ache of hope that usually en
Danny's POV I felt like a walking open wound.I was back in that bathroom, the water scalding, turning my skin a raw, angry pink. I scrubbed and scrubbed until the soap stung, but it didn't matter. I could still feel the phantom weight of Miguel’s hands, the way he had pinned me against that door
Danny's POV The walk back to the dorms felt like a trip to the gallows. I kept pulling the sleeves of my pink hoodie over my knuckles, trying to hide the fact that I was shaking. Every shadow under the trees looked like a person reaching for me, every flicker of a streetlamp felt like a camera len
