Entangled Hearts chapter 14
Chapter 13 Vincent’s POV The evening air was cool, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves as I stepped onto the balcony overlooking the garden. The soft glow of lanterns illuminated the path below, casting elongated shadows that danced with the wind. I leaned against the railing, seeking solace in the quietude of the night. But then, a familiar laugh pierced the silence—a light, melodic sound that sent a jolt through me. I looked down and saw them. Lisa and Nick, seated on the garden bench, sharing a pizza and laughter. Her eyes sparkled, and her smile was genuine, unburdened. A knot tightened in my chest. That smile—it had been mine once, hadn't it? Nick leaned in, whispering something that made her laugh even harder. She playfully nudged him, and he responded with that signature grin of his. I clenched my fists, the railing biting into my palms. She stood up, ready to leave. Nick said something that made her pause. She looked at him, eyes wide, then nodded and was about

**Chapter 14** **Lisa’s POV** The morning sun filtered through the thin curtains of my modest room, casting a warm glow that did little to lift the heaviness settling in my chest. The previous evening's dinner with Nick had been a rare moment of lightness, a brief escape from the complexities that seemed to shadow my every step. His laughter, the way he looked at me—it had all felt so genuine, so uncomplicated. But that serenity was shattered the moment Mary approached me after breakfast, her expression unreadable. "Lisa, Mr. Vincent has requested that you take on additional duties starting today. After your cleaning shift, you'll be assisting in the kitchen and serving his meals. Effective immediately." I blinked, momentarily stunned. "Did he say why?" Mary shook her head. "Just following orders." I nodded slowly, masking my confusion with a polite smile. "Understood." As I resumed my cleaning duties, my mind raced. Why the sudden change? Was this a punishment? Had I

--- **Chapter 15** **Vincent’s POV** The night was oppressively still, yet my mind was anything but. Shadows danced behind my closed eyelids, coalescing into the stern visage of my father. His eyes, cold and unyielding, bore into mine as he reminded me of the solemn promise I had made: to marry Lilian, to uphold the family's honor. The dream felt so vivid, so real, that when I jolted awake, drenched in cold sweat, my heart pounded as if I had just faced him in the flesh. I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to steady my breathing. The room was dark, save for the faint glow of the city lights seeping through the curtains. But the darkness couldn't mask the guilt gnawing at my conscience. Was this dream merely a figment of my imagination, or was it a manifestation of my father's disapproval? Was he reminding me of my vows, of the commitment I had made to Lilian? And then there was Lisa. The maid who had, unknowingly, become the epicenter of my internal conflict. Her laughter, her

Chapter 17Lisa’s POVWeeks have passed, and the hope that things would return to normal is fading. I've considered quitting, but I can't. I need this job to support Mom and cover Dad's hospital bills.But what do I do when everything keeps getting worse? The master, for reasons unknown, seems determined to punish me. He complains about every little thing I do. Nothing is ever good enough. His glares make me feel like I've committed an unforgivable sin.I've been trying to avoid Nick, noticing that my chores increase whenever I talk to him. But Nick won't stop reaching out. Once, he insisted on helping me with the laundry. No matter how much I argued, he was determined. He managed to cheer me up and promised to speak to the master about everything that's been happening.Somehow, over the weeks, we've grown close. He checks on me during his free time, helps me even when I refuse. The other day, he bought me a necklace. I tried to decline, but Nick, being Nick, didn't back down until I

**Chapter 19** **Vincent’s POV** The days blurred together, each one indistinguishable from the last. I continued to distance myself from Lisa, convincing myself it was for the best. But deep down, I knew I was lying to myself. Every time I saw her, my heart betrayed me. Her presence stirred something within me that I couldn't ignore. I hated it. I hated that she had this power over me. I caught myself watching her more often than I should. Her laughter, her smile, the way she moved—it all captivated me. I tried to focus on my work, to push these feelings aside, but they lingered, persistent and unyielding. The hallway was dimly lit, yet the tension between Lisa and Cherry was unmistakable. I stood at the top of the stairs, observing the scene unfold below. Cherry's voice was sharp, her gestures aggressive. Lisa, ever composed, held her ground, but I noticed the subtle flinch as Cherry's words struck deeper than intended. My gaze dropped to Lisa's hand, where a red mark marred

*Chapter 19: Lisa's POV*The morning sun filtered through the tall windows, casting elongated shadows across the polished marble floor. I moved silently, balancing a tray laden with breakfast dishes, the clinking of porcelain echoing in the vast dining room. Nick sat at the table, his eyes lighting up as he saw me."Good morning, Lisa," he greeted warmly. "How are you today?"I offered a polite smile, my gaze flickering to Vincent, who stood by the window, his eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. "I'm fine, thank you," I replied softly, placing the tray on the table.Nick continued, his voice gentle, "If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here." His words were a balm to my soul, but I knew I couldn't confide in him about Vincent. Not yet.Before I could respond, Vincent's voice cut through the room like a whip. "Lisa, you're being clumsy. Clean up this mess immediately." I looked down, realizing I had spilled some juice. "I'm sorry, sir," I murmured, reach

Chapter 20Vincent’s POVThe morning sun cast a golden hue over the estate, its warmth a cruel contrast to the cold unease in my chest. The board meeting in New York was crucial—potentially the most significant deal of the year. I had no choice. I had to go. And yet, the thought of leaving Lisa behind, under this roof, where Nick would also remain… it was almost unbearable.I summoned the entire staff to the grand hall and made the announcement. “I’ll be away for a few days on business. I expect everything to run smoothly in my absence.”There were nods and hushed murmurs, but I wasn’t paying attention to any of them—only her. Lisa stood at the back, her hands neatly clasped in front of her, her head slightly bowed. But I knew she felt my eyes on her. She always did.After the meeting, I called her to my study. She came in quietly, closing the door behind her.“Yes, sir?” she asked, calm and respectful as always, but I could hear the tension in her tone.I folded my arms. “While I’m g

Chapter 21Vincent’s POVThe New York skyline glistened beyond the hotel window, but none of it mattered. I wasn’t thinking about the billion-dollar deal I was here to close or the endless meetings lined up for tomorrow. My thoughts were back home—tangled in the dark waves of Lisa’s hair, in the sound of her soft footsteps around the mansion, and in the heat of her eyes when they accidentally met mine.She haunted me.I clenched my jaw as I paced the suite, phone in hand. I had warned her. I’d made it clear. Stay away from Nick. And yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling that she wasn’t listening. That Nick—smiling, charming bastard—was slipping through the cracks I thought I’d sealed shut.I hit speed dial and called the guard I left behind.The line picked up after two rings. “Sir.”“Talk,” I barked.The guard hesitated, then cleared his throat. “Madam Lisa has been… fine. She’s keeping up with her duties. But she and Mr. Nick have been… interacting. Not alone, but with the other maid, C

Entangled Hearts chapter 45
Chapter 45– Vincent’s POVShe ran. Breathless, and flushed.Just like that, she vanished behind the door, leaving me standing half-naked in the middle of my room, the air thick with tension and unspoken hunger.Damn her.I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening as I listened to the soft click of her door shutting across the hall. She was in there—probably pacing, probably thinking about everything that just happened. The image of her delicate hands trembling as she unbuttoned my shirt played on repeat in my head. She looked terrified, innocent... aroused.I shouldn’t have done that to her.But fuck, I couldn’t help myself.The second I walked in and saw her bowed head, soft and obedient, I wanted to ruin that control of hers. I wanted to see how much of her was still untouched—how much of her would break if I teased just a little more. And when she hesitated to remove my pants, her wide eyes locked on the bulge she clearly couldn’t ignore… I knew I had her exactly where I wanted her.

Chapter 44 – Lisa’s POVAfter Clara left, the weight in my chest only grew heavier. I picked up my phone, fingers trembling as I dialed the number that always brought a sliver of comfort—my mom’s.She answered on the second ring. “Lisa, sweetheart!”My lips curved in a faint smile, though my throat tightened. “Hi, Mama. How’s Papa doing today?”A pause. I could hear the shift in her tone even before she spoke. “He had another bad night, but he’s stable this morning. Still in pain… but the nurses say he’s improving.”My heart clenched. “I’ll send more money today, I promise. And I’ll come visit soon. I really will.”“I know you will,” she said gently. “But Lisa… are you okay? Your voice sounds different.”I opened my mouth to lie, but stopped. I couldn’t tell her the truth. I couldn’t even begin to explain what I was going through—what I was becoming.“I’m just tired,” I whispered. “A little overwhelmed, that’s all.”“You’re working too hard, aren’t you? Maybe you should come back hom
Entangled Hearts chapter 43
Chapter 43 – Lisa’s POVThe room fell silent again the moment Clara left, and the silence this time felt heavier.More personal.My fingers clutched the edge of the pillow I had tossed at her seconds ago, the fabric still warm from my touch. I sank deeper into the bed and pulled my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them as if trying to hold myself together.Vincent’s scent was still everywhere, in the air, on my skin.His kiss still burned on my lips, and I could feel the echo of his possessive grip on my waist. How had everything changed so fast?It felt like yesterday I was just a maid in this house, invisible to everyone but Clara. Now, I had my things in this room, Vincent’s mouth on mine, and his voice in my head telling me not to leave.I was trapped—but the chains were invisible, and worse, they were laced with desire.I buried my face against my knees.What the hell am I doing?What was he doing?The more I thought about it, the more I realized Vincent wasn't just pl

Chapter 42 – Lisa’s POVThe door clicked shut behind him, and I was left standing in the center of the room—my room now, apparently—feeling like the floor had been ripped out from under me.My fingers brushed over my lips.They were still tingling.Vincent had kissed me again. Hard. Possessive. Like he owned me.And I had kissed him back.Like I wanted him to.God help me.I sank onto the edge of the bed, my thoughts spinning wildly.Just an hour ago, I was seated on his lap, in the dining room… on full display.And Nick—dear, sweet Nick—had walked in on us.The flash of shock and heartbreak in his eyes had cut me deeper than I expected.I hadn’t meant for him to see.I hadn’t meant for anyone to see.But Vincent didn’t care. He didn’t even flinch. He simply stared back at Nick with that cold dominance of his, like he was daring him to say something. Do something. Try something.I pressed my palms against my heated face.What was I doing?This wasn’t just complicated—it was wrong. He

Chapter 41Vincent’s POVI stepped out of her room and shut the door softly behind me.But there was nothing soft about what churned inside me.My blood still burned with the taste of her lips, her scent clinging to my skin like sin. The way she surrendered in my arms—obedient, sweet, mine—was a high no drug could match. Yet even in the afterglow, something darker simmered just beneath the surface.Nick.The way his eyes found Lisa during breakfast. That flicker of interest. That silent question in his gaze as if he were wondering what we were. Wondering if she was still… available.I clenched my jaw until it ached.He saw her lips—pink, swollen from my kisses. He saw how she sat silently, shyly, almost too obedient. He knew. He fucking knew something happened.And I didn’t like the way he looked at her.Like she hurt him. Like she fucking betrayed him..She didn’t.She was mine.Every soft moan that escaped her mouth. Every breathless whisper . Every bashful glance that made my cock
Entangled Hearts chapter 40
Chapter 40 – Vincent’s POV She was late. I stood by the window, the sunlight hitting my bare chest as I swirled the liquor in my glass. I hadn’t slept. Not really. Not after last night. Not after feeling her break and mold under my hands like she was made for me. And she was. The moment I touched her, claimed her, there was no turning back. Lisa was mine. My personal maid, my distraction, my obsession. I heard her footsteps long before she reached the door. She hesitated outside. Good. She should be nervous. The door creaked open. “You’re late,” I said, not turning. “I’m sorry, sir,” came her soft whisper. That voice… it could undo me if I let it. I turned, my gaze devouring her the moment our eyes met. She looked shaken, sore. There was a red mark peeking from her collar—the edge of a bruise I knew well because I had placed it there. My control slipped for a second, the image of her under me flashing across my mind. But I couldn’t let her see that. “Come her

Chapter 39 – Lisa’s POVThe sun spilled through the curtains like a quiet whisper, but I didn’t move.I lay there, skin bare under the soft sheet, my thighs still sticky, my breasts sore, and my core throbbing with the ghost of his touch. Every inch of me felt raw—marked, claimed. My body didn’t belong to me anymore. It belonged to him.Vincent.I shut my eyes, but the memory came rushing back like a wave crashing against my chest.His voice, rough and commanding.His hands, firm and unapologetic.The way his fingers sank into my flesh. The sting of his palm. The way I shattered under his control.I should be ashamed. I should be angry. But I wasn’t.All I could feel was the lingering burn of his touch and the ache between my thighs that begged for more.My fingers brushed over the faint sting on my ass, and a shiver rushed up my spine.He didn’t make love to me last night.He punished me.And I let him.I melted under him.I came.A soft moan escaped me, involuntary, as my legs pres

Chapter 38– (Vincent’s POV)She stood still, like a lamb before the slaughter. My lamb. My temptation. My undoing.“Strip.”The command was cold. Sharp. I watched the way her lips parted—either to protest or plead—but nothing came out. She simply nodded, hands shaking as they moved to unzip her provocative dress that hugged her body like a second skin.I folded my arms across my chest and leaned against the wall, eyes locked on every slow movement. Each drag undone revealed more of her creamy skin, and my cock twitched in response, already hard with anticipation. Her gown fell to the floor. sliding down her hips and pooling around her feet like a silk offering.She stood before me in her underwear. Pure white. Lace. The same innocence she wore the day i arrived. But she wasn't innocent anymore, was she?Not after today.I moved forward slowly, like a beast approaching its prey.“Turn around.”She obeyed.I gripped her hips and bent her slightly. Her soft curves presented to me, trem
Entangled Hearts chapter 37
Chapter 37 – Lisa’s POV The town square was alive with a rhythm that made my heart ache in the best way. Children laughed and chased one another with ice cream dripping down their tiny fingers, street vendors called out with charming accents, and music floated from a nearby café like it was dancing on air. The scent of roasted coffee beans and warm pastries wrapped around me like a long-forgotten embrace. For the first time in a long time, I breathed. I forgot the estate. I forgot Vincent. For a moment, I was just Lisa—no titles, no commands, no lingering eyes burning into my skin. Nick parked by the curb, his arm stretching across the back of my seat as he turned to face me. “Still want to check out that bookstore?” I nodded, smiling. “Definitely.” We walked together, side by side. Not quite touching, but close enough for his warmth to seep through. I could feel him looking at me every now and then, but he didn’t say much until we reached the old bookstore nestled between two
