FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 13: All the Things I Shouldn't Feel
Cassian’s POVI walked into the bedroom and shut the door behind me, leaning against it for a long moment as the silence hit me like a hard fist in my gut."Fuck," I muttered as I dragged a hand down my face and exhaled, low and hard.My chest felt tight, like I couldn’t breathe, and I hated it.What the hell was I doing?I hadn’t meant a damn word I had said to her back in the kitchen. Calling her naive? That was bullshit. Arielle was many things, but naive wasn’t one of them. To me, she was bright, smart, very beautiful, and a little stubborn. But being very close to her was what scared me more than I could admit.If I let her in past my carefully closed door, I wouldn’t be able to shut it again.I very much knew what would happen. She’d own me. Every part of me I’d kept locked down for years would be hers, and the promise I made—to Evelyn, to my family—would come crumbling down like ash. And then what? I’d ruin everything. That's why I chose to hurt her.Still... hearing her sob as
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 12. Why are you doing this?
Arielle POVIt was Monday.The house was quiet again. No laughter in the backyard. No crackling fire from the braai pit. No clinking glasses, no Mom’s sing-alongs with Soraya while peeling onions, and no giggling over most of the things like she did.Everything would have been okay with me if she hadn’t just stolen the heart of the man I—I shook that thought off like it was poison to my mind.He didn’t belong to me.He never did.But God, I still felt like he should’ve.I pressed my forehead against the cool bathroom cabinet for a second, eyes closed, trying to get a grip.The whole weekend I’d played my role very well—invisible Arielle.Just the quiet girl in the background, who laughed when someone else laughed, who nodded and smiled like her heart wasn’t breaking for reasons she wasn’t brave enough to admit.Cassian...He hadn’t looked at me once. Not like that night when he’d driven me home and watched me walk away like he was struggling to breathe without me.Not like he did whe
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 11: Playing the villain
Cassian’s POVWhen I finally woke up, the sun was already dipping past noon.I sat up slowly, staring at the ceiling with a low sigh while wondering if everything that had happened between me and Arielle was all a dream."Jeez," I muttered softly because I knew deep down that it was all real.In my mind, I was trying to find ways to avoid her the moment I’d have to face her. I was becoming the very thing I looked down on... a coward.Was I strong enough to ignore her beautiful smile?The smile from last night that still burned in my mind?Was I going to stay still even when my eyes went to her lips? Would I fail to hold back if the way she kissed me back played in my mind?The light in her eyes when she spoke to me was still vivid. That one moment when everything felt too right and too dangerous.“I have to stop,” I muttered again, dragging myself out of bed and into the bathroom.The cold water of the shower didn’t help much. If anything, It just reminded me of her—how her skin had f
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 10: The Last Time She Was Mine
Cassian’s POVI stayed in the car long after Arielle had closed the door behind her. The echo of her laughter still lingered in my ears, haunting me—warm and cruel at the same time.My fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly as I stared at the dark windshield sadly.The night had ended, but everything inside me still burned. The way it felt to freely talk to her and open my heart to her was like a dream—a dream that I had had ever since I was a teenager.In all my life, there had never been a time or day when I went out on a date that I enjoyed. Even if our little chat meant nothing to her, to me it meant the world. I got to know a few things about her and share some of my family's secrets, which I had never done with any woman.And when we were about to get into the car, I felt this strong urge to hold her.Why did I do it?I already knew the answer. I'd known it the moment I went to that café with her.It wasn’t just about watching her smile or hearing her talk about her little w
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 9: Conversations with No Labels
Arielle’s POVThe car rolled to a gentle stop in a quiet part of town, surrounded by tall trees and a cozy, open-air café.I blinked, then looked at him in surprise.“Cassian, this isn’t home,” I murmured.“No,” he answered, then glanced at me.“It’s definitely a café,” he said as he got out.I frowned deeply, then sighed heavily.Why were we even here? Was he meeting someone else?Those thoughts troubled me, but I couldn't even bring myself to ask. All I could do was watch as he walked around to my side and opened the door for me."Thanks," I whispered as I stepped out, a little hesitant, trying my best to calm my pounding heart."You are welcome, princess," he responded and then went on to close the door.I stood frozen in place, looking at him in disbelief."What...?" I whispered."Is there a problem?" he asked, with a brow raised."No. I just thought I heard something," I answered and then chuckled nervously.It was obvious I was hearing things too. Perhaps it was because of the a
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 8: Unexpected Visitor
Arielle’s POVThe late afternoon sun spilled through the tall windows of the lecture hall as I tried not to let my thoughts drift back to him—Cassian.I twirled my pen between my fingers, doing my best to smile at Darren, the guy who sat beside me, smiling at me calmly.He was good-looking, tall, with an amazing charm and kind eyes that always seemed to notice whenever I was having a bad day or felt sad.Today, I’d decided I was done thinking about my ridiculously sexy, emotionally unavailable, and utterly off-limits stepfather.I just needed to get over it and get over him."So... are you into horror movies?" Darren asked, nudging me playfully with his elbow.I blinked and then smiled widely.“Huh?”He chuckled softly and then shrugged.“You’ve been staring at me without saying a word for ten minutes," he said calmly.“Oh—sorry," I whispered."It's fine; I just wanted to know if you are into horror movies," he said in a low tone."Well, yeah. I mean, kinda. I guess,” I answered, then
