Chapter 54–

Lisa’s POV

One whole week.

One week of silent treatment.

One week of cold shoulders, stolen glances, and gut-wrenching heartbreak.

Vincent hadn’t said a word to me—not even a look. Although I caught him staring a few times, he always looked away the second our eyes met, as if I disgusted him. I don’t know what hurt more—his silence or the way he pretended I didn’t exist after everything we shared.

I stopped trying after the second day.

I stopped trying to see him. I stopped making his meals. I stopped preparing his bath. I stopped cleaning his room.

I just... stopped.

I wanted to move out of that room so badly. I wanted to return to the maids’ quarters where I belonged. Being so close to him yet so painfully far apart—it was torture. Every time I passed his door, a sharp pain pierced my chest. And every time I returned to my room, that pain deepened.

This week had been nothing but hell.

Today, I didn’t even feel like leaving my room. Everything in me felt drained. I was t

    Chapter 56– Lisa’s POVI woke up to warmth.Not sunlight.Not the usual chill of morning air.But warmth from the heavy arm draped over my waist, the slow, even rise and fall of a chest pressed against my back. His breath fanned my neck. His skin, bare and hot against mine, made me want to melt into the mattress and pretend time had stopped.Vincent.His scent was everywhere. His presence wrapped around me like a claim.And I had let him claim me again. Completely. Fully. Desperately.I didn’t regret it. Not even for a second.But I was terrified.Because now… everything had changed.I stared at the ceiling, trying not to move, afraid to break the fragile peace that settled in the room after last night’s chaos. I could still feel the bruises of his jealousy—on my hips, between my thighs, along my neck where he kissed me like he was trying to make me forget any man had ever touched me before.And I had let him.God, I wanted him.But I also wanted to be free.Free from this fear. From

    Chapter 55Vincent’s POVOne whole week.One whole damn week of silence.I’ve lost count of how many times I stood outside her door, hand hovering over the knob, wanting—no, needing—to see her. To talk to her. To pull her close and tell her I’m sorry, that I never wanted to hurt her.But I don’t.Because I’m a coward. A jealous, possessive, stubborn coward.She stopped trying two days after I began my cold punishment. No more meals from her. No more perfectly folded towels. No more glances when she thought I wasn’t looking. She stopped cleaning my room, stopped preparing my bath. I thought I’d feel relief. I thought distance would kill what I felt for her.But it didn’t.It made everything worse.I crave her. Every second. Every damn second.And when I catch her watching me, and our eyes meet, something burns in me so hot, I have to tear my gaze away before I lose control. Before I do something unforgivable.She’s suffering—I can see it in her walk, in the way her shoulders slump when

    Chapter 53:Lisa's pov Two days.That’s how long it had been since I’d last seen him.Two long, torturous days filled with silence, guilt, and longing. The mansion had become a hollow, frozen place in his absence. Every room felt colder, every hallway stretched longer, like time itself had slowed down just to torture me. Even the walls seemed to echo with his absence—whispers of footsteps that no longer came, the ghost of a voice that had once made my heart race.Bruce said he was away on business. That it would only be a day or two.But that hadn’t stopped my mind from spiraling.What if he’d gone back to her? To his wife. What if I had pushed him too far this time? What if I meant so little to him that leaving—disappearing—was easier than facing me?I couldn't sleep. I couldn’t eat. My body moved like a machine, but my heart… my heart had stayed still. Stuck in that moment before he left. The moment when everything between us felt raw and dangerous and real.I tried to keep myself

    Chapter 52 - Vincent's POVI stared out the penthouse window, the city lights flickering like a thousand temptations below. But none of them mattered. Not the lavish lifestyle, not the signed contracts spread across the desk, not even the glass of scotch in my hand. None of it filled the hollow ache inside me.All I could think about was her.Lisa.Her eyes haunted me—those wide, innocent eyes that looked at me like I was something more than the cold, brutal man the world saw. Like I was worth saving.But she had lied.Or at least, she hadn’t told the truth. And that silence hurt more than any betrayal.Still, no matter how much I tried to bury the anger, to convince myself that distance would bring clarity, all I found was a deeper craving for her.I thought if I left, if I put space between us, I’d calm down. I’d get my head straight. But every second away from her was a war. Every hour without seeing her face, without hearing her voice, stripped another layer off my restraint.The

    Chapter 51– Lisa’s POVI hadn’t slept.Not even for a second.The silence in the mansion was maddening. Every creak of the old wood, every whisper of the wind brushing against the windows—it all felt louder, more intrusive, like the walls themselves were mocking me. Without Vincent, the house felt cold. Lifeless. Hollow.But not as hollow as I felt inside.I sat curled in the armchair by the window, still wearing the nightdress from last night. My arms were wrapped tightly around my knees, and my eyes were dry—not because I hadn’t cried, but because I’d run out of tears. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d blinked. Maybe when the stars still shone. But now, the sky had faded into a dull, dismal gray, the promise of morning trying to sneak in.But nothing inside me felt like a new day.Vincent was gone.Because of me.Because I hurt him.And I didn’t stop him.I hadn’t even tried.The moment replayed in my head over and over like a cruel loop—the look in his eyes before he walked ou

    Chapter 50– Vincent’s POVI didn’t even remember the drive back to the city.The whole world blurred behind the fury in my veins.My grip on the steering wheel was tight—too tight. I could feel the tremble in my fingers, the tightness in my jaw that made my temples pulse with pressure. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to scream or crash into something. Maybe both.But her face—was the only thing I could see.Those wide eyes. That flicker of guilt.That look of being caught.And yet… she hadn’t even tried to explain.Didn’t speak.Didn’t reach for me.Didn’t run after me like she should have.My tires screeched against the floor of the underground garage as I yanked the car into its space. I slammed my palm into the steering wheel, the crack of impact echoing like a gunshot through the stillness.She hid it.She chose to hide it.She knew how I felt about Nick. Knew what I’d said. Knew the warning in my voice when I told her to stay away.And still, she let him call.Still, she replied, She

    Chapter 49– Lisa’s POVThe moment he stormed out, it felt like the air had been ripped from my lungs.One second, I was trembling beneath him—his lips devouring mine, his hands branding every inch of my skin, his voice deep and raw as he claimed me like I belonged to him.The next, he was gone.Just like that.And the room turned cold.The warmth of his body, the electricity of his touch, the look in his eyes that made me feel like I was the only thing that mattered in the world—it vanished in an instant. And all I was left with was the echo of the door slamming and the dull ache spreading through my chest.I sat up slowly, the soft sheets dragging against my bare skin. My body still hummed with the aftermath of his presence—my thighs still trembling from his possession, my lips swollen from his kisses, my heart racing like it didn’t know whether to break or beat for him.He saw the call.Nick’s call.And the messages.My messages.My chest tightened painfully.I hadn’t meant to hide

    Chapter 48– Vincent’s POVI couldn’t sit still.The rage had settled—but the storm it left behind was far from gone. It clung to my skin, humming just beneath the surface like an electric current that refused to die. I was pacing across my room like a man possessed, my fists clenched, jaw tight, every nerve screaming for release.The image of Lisa kept replaying in my mind—curled up, frightened, her skin marred by bruises that weren’t mine.I hadn’t even seen her yet.I couldn’t. I didn’t trust myself not to lose it completely. One look at her, and I would’ve pulled her into my arms and kissed her until she forgot her pain—until I forgot I was a goddamn married man.But now?Now I didn’t care.I needed to see her. To touch her. To feel her breathing, alive, and safe.And to make sure she knew—she was mine.I left my room without a word to Bruce or anyone else. The house had gone quiet for the night; most of the maids were already in their quarters. But I could feel her. That magnetic
