Elena's POV

Fiancée!

I stared at Noah, who was already standing by the bed with his back to me. My heart twisted painfully.

He already had a fiancée, which explained everything. The mentions from Fidelia, the contempt in the servants' eyes, the way this woman walked in like she was already mistress of this place.

My throat ran dry, and a lamp formed in it, leaving me speechless. My chest felt heavy with how my heart constricted in pain, and the feeling of breathlessness intensified as I felt the air being sucked out of my lungs.

But that's not all. I still feel terrified about being imprisoned in his house. I wanted to leave here. Everything in me became more chaotic than it already was.

The churning of my stomach intensified in disgust as I looked at the man in front of me, seeing how worse he could be every single second I got to know him.

Jessica stood at the door with her arms crossed. The curves of her figure accentuated by a glittering dress that looked more like a weapon than a

    Elena's POVThe world didn't explode into pain the way I'd expected. There was no harsh, bone-crunching impact, no white-hot lightning of agony.Instead, I landed in the warm and solid arms, a human-sized cushion of heat. For a beat, the wind had left my lungs, then the shiver moved through me and I opened my eyes.There he was.Up close, his face was all angles and cold light, like someone had carved a man out of blue ice. I almost said thank you. The words died in my throat when his gaze found me, intense.He smelled like cigars and something metallic that made my stomach flip. Definitely not fiancé-and-supper date smell.Where was Jessica? Shouldn't he be enjoying high heels and small talk at the dinner table instead of catching me trying to play agent game?The question sat in my mouth. I swallowed it."So we're back to this, your favorite game." His breath brushed my ear, quiet but lethal. "What did you think you were, Elena? CIA? MI6? Or just a reckless contestant who enjoys be

    Elena's POVHearing his verdict immediately drained the colour from their faces. To say that didn't give me a sense of satisfaction would be a lie. They totally deserve it. If not, more.It didn't take long before pleas tumbled from their lips in a chorus of desperation. They stepped closer to Caleb and tried to hold his hand, but he moved away from them.Looking at him with glistening eyes, they rubbed their hands together in begging. "Please! Please, sir! Have some mercy on us, we didn't mean—"I wanted to watch them tremble in fear and beg, but their voices blurred in my ears when realization sank into me.For a moment, I forgot who I was dealing with. They were mafia for goodness' sake! Their verdict was no metaphor, nor were they issuing empty threats.My heart pounded as the weight of Noah's justice system sank in. Broken legs and being thrown into an underground casino. A lifetime in some underground den where hope went to rot.A shiver crawled up my spine. I swallowed in fe

    Elena's POVNoah's grip on me was like steel, unyielding and burning hot where his fingers dug into my skin. His blue eyes were darker than I had ever seen them, fury simmering in their depths as if every breath I took insulted him."You even thought about running, huh?" he muttered, his voice low and lethal, which made my pulse stutter."Put me down!" I shout again in panic, especially when I feel the uneven movements as he takes the stairs.He didn't reply, and my heart went frantic as he entered a room, doors slamming behind us."Is this his room?"I tried to twist away, and he finally let me go. But my relief didn't last long when I realized what the soft object he had thrown me onto – on the bed! A bed???My mind went into turmoil, and my heart's about to explode.Before I could jump up and run away, his body pinned me to the bed. His closeness was suffocating, every inch of him radiating heat and power.My eyes widened.His hands began to roam my body with sudden, rough authori

    Noah's POV"Don, Marco wants to see you. Something about Jake," Caleb told me as I slid the signed contract across the table.Perfect timing. I didn't even get a chance to breathe before the next fire needed putting out.It had been three hours since I'd left the estate. I wasn't sure how my little pet was doing in her new cage, but I was sure Jake and my ever-annoying sister had gone crying to my father.Thirty minutes later, I walked into my father's villa, only to be told Jake and Monica had already left. Figures. That little jerk wouldn't dare face me after the chaos in the shopping mall today."Sit," my father ordered. His voice was sharp but calm—the kind of calm that warned you not to push it.His office always smelled of polished oak and old cigars—two things I'd never liked.I stayed standing. "I'm not changing my mind. Jake deserved it."Marco leaned back, folding his hands over his stomach. "You punished a family member over a girl? Don't tell me you've fallen for your neph

    Elena's POVThe clang of the dog food can and the maid's Italian still rang in my ears."I'm not a dog, even if I was sold to him." Pet or not, I was still human.But the more I repeated it, the hollower it sounded.I pushed the can aside and sat on the floor, knees drawn tight to my chest. The air in this so-called room was damp enough to glue my hair to my skin.The maid grabbed a fistful of my gold-brown hair, yanking my head back."What? Still daydreaming about being Mr. Marlowe's escort?" she sneered, opening another can with a sharp crack before tossing it at me. "You're nothing but a cheap pet, worth less than his dog."I bit my lips to hold back my tears. Above me, footsteps sounded, measured, deliberate, and far too heavy to belong to the younger maids.Is it Noah?I dared to hope.The door swung open.In waddled the head maid, Fidelia, the middle-aged woman with a pinched face and a body thickened by years of idleness.My chest sank. Whatever flicker of anticipation I'd felt
