Her Pov:

He’s going to kill me.

The thought slams into my chest so hard I almost choke on it. My vision blurs as an unexpected urge to cry rushes up my throat, desperate and childish—as if tears could save me. Every instinct in me screams to run, to hide, to vanish before he decides I’m not worth the effort.

Cold fear crawls beneath my skin like ants made of ice, prickling every nerve. Goosebumps rise on my arms, my heartbeat hammering against my ribs so violently it hurts. Edward’s gaze—sharp, penetrating, downright murderous—locks onto me, and my hands begin to tremble uncontrollably. I can feel sweat gathering along my hairline despite the chill in the room, a betraying sheen of panic I can’t wipe away.

For a single, agonizing heartbeat, he studies me. Consumes me. Strips me bare without lifting a finger.

Then—he looks away.

He pulls out his phone, eyes dropping to the screen as though I am no longer worth his attention, no longer the target he’s about to devour. And that tiny mot

    Her Pov:"After all... I'm not you."The words slip out like a prayer. Or maybe a curse.Either way, I know he hears them. Very slowly, he turns around as his cold gaze falls on me. ā€œYou are not me.ā€ He repeats it slowly, each word falling heavier than the last as he stalks toward me with that quiet, deliberate stride that always makes my pulse stutter. Saying my breathing hitched would be an understatement. It doesn’t matter how hard I pretend to be brave—every time he closes in on me, every time his cold, dissecting gaze traps mine, something inside me curls in on itself.And now, with Rafael’s card hidden under my bra, the fear claws deeper, twisting painfully in my chest.He steps into my space until the air feels too tight to inhale. Towering over me, he studies my face with that unsettling patience of his, his gaze moving slowly, intentionally, like he’s peeling back every layer I have. His wildflower scent surrounds me, betraying how close he is, but the heat of his stare bur

    Her Pov:Edward—half-hidden in the dim glow of the hallway, his expression unreadable, but his presence impossible to ignore. His eyes, cold and unrelenting, found mine in an instant, locking me in place as though the air between us had thickened. It didn’t matter how far apart we were or how many people moved through the space between us—when he looked at me like that, it was as if nothing and no one else existed.There was no warmth in his stare, only control—like he was reminding me, without a single word, that he still held the reins. I tried to appear unaffected, to hold his gaze without flinching, but deep down, I could feel it—that familiar pull, like an invisible chain tightening around my ribs. No matter how far I ran or how hard I tried to untangle myself, he always found a way to draw me back in.I turn away, finishing the last sip of my drink, its bitter aftertaste clinging to my tongue like the weight of everything I’m about to do. I need to breathe. I need space. Most

    Her Pov:The game has already begun.I feel it in the air-heavy with unsaid threats and unshed blood. The kind of silence that precedes storms, the kind that hides sharp teeth behind glass smiles. I stand quietly, drink in hand, letting my eyes drift across the room, not to admire, but to hunt.If I want to break free of Edward, I'll need more than courage.I'll need power.And not just any power. I'll need someone who can rattle him-someone who can force the devil to look twice.Not many men have ever managed that. But I know that if I want even a sliver of control, I'll need to find the one who can stand tall in Edward's shadow and not flinch.I sip from my glass, letting the burn settle in my throat as I scan the room.And then-"Funny... I find you alone again."The voice coils behind me, smooth and deliberate. I turn with measured ease, eyes meeting Rafael Morozgov's.Of course.He leans against the bar like he belongs everywhere and nowhere at once. The kind of man who doesn't c

    Her Pov:He walks away, expecting me to trail after him—but I don’t move. His game, his rules? Not anymore. He can keep thinking he’s in control, but I’m done playing along. This time, I’m setting the rules—and he won’t see me coming.I returned to the hall, my heels echoing against the marble floor as I made my way back to the bar—the same place I stood before everything started to unravel.I order a drink, not because I need it, but because I need something to ground me. Something to keep my hands busy as I turn around and lean against the counter, my eyes sweeping over the room.The atmosphere is thick—oppressive, electric. Power hums through the air like a storm waiting to break. The people here aren't just rich or well-dressed—they're dangerous. You can see it in their posture, feel it in their eyes.Every single one of them is the kind of person you don’t look at twice if you want to keep breathing. Their presence doesn’t just command respect—it demands fear. You don’t even nee

    Her Pov:The air in the room is thick with tension, a current I can’t escape, not even as I push through the sea of bodies in pursuit of Edward. The music pounds in my ears, the bass matching the erratic rhythm of my heartbeat. I barely register the murmured conversations and clinking of glasses around me; my focus is locked onto his broad frame as he weaves effortlessly through the crowd.He knows I’m following him. And he’s letting me.My heels click against the marble floor, my strides long and determined, but no matter how much I quicken my pace, he stays just out of reach—taunting me, luring me deeper into his game.Bastard.The moment he turns down a dimly lit corridor, my patience snaps. I quicken my pace, my fingers curling into fists at my sides. The moment I round the corner, I find him there—waiting. His back is against the wall, hands tucked into the pockets of his suit, one leg lazily crossed over the other. The golden glow of the sconces lining the corridor casts shadows
