Viola stared up at him through blurred vision, her face numb, wet tracks stinging in the freezing air. The shock in her chest shattered into pure, desperate panic."Don't touch me!"The scream tore from Viola’s throat, raw and hoarse, swallowed almost instantly by the roaring mountain wind.She twisted violently in his grip, throwing her entire weight to the side, cl

Damian Cross.A faint breath slipped past his lips. He answered, bringing the phone to his ear as he walked over to the window, watching the morning fog cling to the pines below."How do you remember me today?" Sebastian said, his voice carrying its usual dry rasp. "I thought you were busy playing happy family."A deep, amused chuckle came through the speaker. "Good to hear your voice too, Bash." Damian's tone was relaxed, but underneath it sat that familiar, heavy weight of an old friend who knew him too well. "What, a man can't check in on his brother without an excuse?""You never call without an excuse," Sebastian countered, leaning his hip against the sill. "Get to the point, Damian.""I'm getting married."Sebastian didn't answer right away. He looked out over the tree line, watching the clouds shift against the gray stone peaks. A faint, reluctant smirk touched the corner of his mouth."Took you long enough," Seba

Sebastian walked down the empty hallway and entered his personal study.The pale moonlight filtering through the tall windows was enough. He crossed the hardwood floor, pulled a silver cigarette case from his pocket, and lit one.He took a long, slow drag, the orange cherry glowing in the dark as he exhaled a thick stream of smoke toward the ceiling.His other hand clenched into a tight fist at his side.He closed his eyes. But the moment darkness took over, all he saw was her face—streaked with dirt, tears shining on her cheeks, and the absolute terror in her eyes as she ran blindly into the freezing woods just to get away from him.For a few hollow minutes out there in the trees, watching her small figure vanish into the pitch-black forest, something inside his chest had dropped into a sickening freefall. It was a sensation he had never experienced in his thirty-four years of life. A raw, ungrounded fear of losing control over something

Viola looked down at the top of his head. His dark hair was messy, falling forward over his brow, a stark contrast to his usual immaculate appearance. The sleeves of his black shirt were pushed high, revealing his forearms.She remembered what those hands felt like tangled in her hair, against her waist, touching her like she was the only thing that mattered in his world.The memory made her stomach twist with nausea.I'll be your little dirty secret.She said it out of pure agony, wanting to hurt him the way he hurt her, but the words felt like poison in her own mouth. He hadn't flinched. He just looked at her like she was irrational, like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum over an impossible dream.Finally, he gathered the stained cloth, closed the kit, and stood up to his full height.He towered over her, casting a long shadow across the bed.Viola kept her chin down, staring fixedly at the bandages around her feet.

Sebastian ignored her protests completely. He kicked the master bedroom doors open, carried her inside, and walked straight to the massive bed. He set her down gently on the edge of the mattress, but before she could even think about standing, his large hand pressed flat against her shoulder, pinning her in place."Sit," he commanded, his voice dark and gravelly. "Don't move.""Don't tell me what to do," she choked out, her violet eyes wide with helpless fury as she glared up at him. "You made your point downstairs. You dragged me back. Now let me go back to my room."Sebastian didn't answer. He turned on his heel and disappeared into the adjoining master bathroom.Viola sat frozen on the charcoal silk coverlet, staring down at the Persian rug. Mud and thin trails of dark red smeared the expensive wool where her heels rested. Her toes were completely numb, throbbing with a dull, stinging heat from the embedded thorns and gravel.Her chest

The mountain wind cut through the trees, dragging dead pine needles across the frozen dirt.Viola stared up at him through blurred vision, her face numb, wet tracks stinging in the freezing air. The shock in her chest shattered into pure, desperate panic."Don't touch me!"The scream tore from Viola’s throat, raw and hoarse, swallowed almost instantly by the roaring mountain wind.She twisted violently in his grip, throwing her entire weight to the side, clawing at his thick wrist with fingers coated in mud and frozen pine needles. She kicked out blindly, trying to yank her arm free.Sebastian didn't budge. He stepped in, closing the space between them in a single motion, his other arm coming around her ribs like an iron band. He slammed her flush against his chest, locking her so tight her feet barely brushed the dirt."Let go of me!" Viola sobbed, her hands bunching into fists and pounding frantically against his broad chest. "

Hi, everyone. ✨ I know many of you have been asking for updates, and first of all, thank you. Seeing how excited you are for the next chapter truly makes me happy, and I never take your support for granted. I also wanted to be honest with you about something. Many readers think authors simply disappear when there isn’t an update, but that’s rarely the case. Writing is my job, but it’s also something I genuinely love. At the same time, I’m still a human being with a life outside of my books. For those who don’t know, I’m a contracted author. Every month, I write and submit over 50,000 words, which means I’m usually updating for around 25 days every month. So when I go quiet for a few days, it isn’t because I’ve abandoned the story or forgotten about you. I literally can’t. My contract doesn’t allow me to disappear for months, and honestly, I wouldn’t want to. The past few weeks have been especially exhausting because my family and I have been apartment hunting and preparing for a m

Viola spent the rest of the day hiding in her tiny bedroom.She didn't go down for lunch, and she skipped dinner entirely. She just sat on the edge of her bed, her knees pulled tight to her chest, waiting. She expected her mother to burst through the door at any second. She expected to be dragged t

The study in the Hierro estate always smelled the same. Old leather, expensive scotch, and decaying power.Sebastian stood near the massive mahogany desk, looking out the large window that overlooked the manicured gardens. He wasn’t wearing a suit jacket, just his dark shirt, unbuttoned at the coll

Viola stood in front of the small mirror in her bedroom, her fingers gently touching her jaw.Yesterday, right after her mother’s hand had cracked across her face, Viola had run to the bathroom and desperately covered the angry red mark with cheap foundation. Now, with the makeup washed off, a fain

Dinner ended exactly as it began—stiff, quiet, and suffocating.Viola didn’t wait for Vanessa or her mother to stand up. The moment Rafael pushed his chair back, she slipped away from the table. She kept her head down, tracing the edge of the hallway until she found the heavy glass doors leading to
