Zara's POV

Torture.

That's the only fucking word to describe what Cassius is making me go through. This...this is the kind of torment that doesn’t leave bruises, but cuts deep anyway. He’s fucking torturing the hell outta me right now, and every fiber in me is screaming to punch him in the damn gut and scream until I go hoarse.

"I'm still waiting, Cara mia," he said, his voice a low, dangerous purr that sent a traitorous shiver down my spine.

No, no. I can’t let Cassius get to me. I can’t give in, not now. If I show him a crack, he’ll wedge his way through and rip me wide open. I can feel his hard-on pressing into my thigh, his body betraying the control his mouth pretends to have. He wants this too. I know he does. But I’ll never give in. Never.

"Well...I've learned not to do things without the person's permission," he said, his warm breath grazing my cheek as he let me go.

He stepped away and the sudden distance made my body ache with need. I hated it. I hated how much I want

    Zara's POV There are no words to absolutely describe what I'm feeling right now as my gaze locked with Cassius standing at the door. It was as if the air had been knocked clean out of my lungs. My heartbeat wasn’t just loud—it was frantic, thundering against my ribs like it was trying to escape. My stomach twisted into knots so tight it was hard to breathe, let alone think. I felt stripped bare. Exposed. Like every carefully hidden thought, every buried truth, every fragile piece of me I’d tried so hard to keep hidden was suddenly illuminated under a harsh, unforgiving light. I wanted to look away. I should’ve looked away. But I couldn’t. My eyes stayed locked on his, frozen, as if breaking that connection would shatter whatever thin thread of composure I had left. My hands were cold and clammy, trembling slightly at my sides. I curled them into fists to stop the shaking. But it didn’t help. The dread had already sunk its claws into me. A part of me screamed to run. To fle

    Zara's POV I sat down on the bed slowly, wincing as a fresh wave of pain throbbed through my shoulder. I’d worn myself out punching that damn wall like a lunatic. Every muscle in my arm screamed in protest, reminding me just how useless all that rage had been. I feel like screaming right now, but what was the point? No one would hear. I was locked in a room that felt more like a prison than anything else. No windows, no furniture worth throwing, just a sleek AC unit humming quietly like it was mocking me. Who the hell builds a room like this unless they’re hiding something? My nails dug into my palms as I clenched my fists. "Zara," I muttered to myself, "he didn’t even ask you to snoop. This is on you. You brought this on yourself." I let out a shaky breath and stared at the pristine walls like they might offer a solution. They didn’t. “I swear, if I had something to throw, I’d shatter it.” My voice cracked around the fury, but there was nothing here. Just polished nothin

    Zara's POV "Where are you going? I told you you're gonna sleep in my room," Cassius said, stepping out of the bathroom. I blinked—twice—because, holy hell. The man was a walking Greek god. The shirt he wore was unbuttoned, teasing toned skin beneath, while the shorts he had on stopped just below his knee, revealing more muscular thighs than I was mentally ready for. But it was his hair that stole my breath. Wet and tousled from the shower, brown strands falling slightly over his forehead, dancing with the breeze from the fan... God. I didn’t know it was possible for someone to look this dangerously good. I always saw him with his hair slicked back—but like this? It felt illegal. "Did I have that much effect on you?" he asked with a smirk. Shit. Shit. Shit. I had been caught. I had been caught red-handed. My jaw was still slightly open, and I felt the embarrassment crawl up my throat like fire. I snapped my mouth shut, praying to every god I’d ever heard of that my cheeks wer

    Zara's POV I let out the breath I didn’t realize I was holding as I stood there, frozen, watching the door click shut behind Delia. My hand was still clutching the burner phone, but I could barely feel it anymore. My palm was slick with sweat, my fingers numb, like they didn’t even belong to me. My lungs were screaming. I’d held in too much air for too long, and now it came rushing out in a broken, shaky exhale. I stumbled toward the sink and stared at my reflection in the mirror. God. I looked horrible. No—worse. I looked wrecked. My eyes were wide and red, lips pale, hair slightly disheveled from how tense I’d been. My skin had gone ashen, and there was this haunted, raw look behind my gaze that I couldn’t scrub away. That bitch had a recording. My thoughts spiraled out of control, frantic, tangled like a web of thorns. My heart was thudding against my ribs so hard I could feel it in my throat. Every second ticked louder than the last. 'Now I’ve got your whole betrayal on aud

    Delia’s POV Happiness! Joy! Ecstasy! Those are the only words that come close to describing what’s rushing through my veins right now. A cocktail of triumph and adrenaline. I never thought a day like this would come—when opportunity would walk straight into my hands. God, I was scared. Scared out of my mind when I found out that this bitch—yes, this trembling, big-eyed snake in front of me—had taken a bullet for my Cassius. My. Cassius. It wasn’t just the bullet. It was the way he looked at her afterwards. The way he refused to leave her side for two damn weeks. Two whole weeks just with her and I couldn’t even get through to him. He shut everyone out. Me included. Especially me. That’s when I knew. Whatever was between them, it wasn’t just a fling or some passing interest. Cassius was falling for her. Falling hard. And it made my skin crawl with rage and fear. But then... then I heard she was getting discharged. That she and Cassius were coming back to the estate. So, I
