The heavy bass from the underground club below vibrated through the floorboards of the private office, but Sebastian barely felt it.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, a glass of dark amber liquid in his hand, watching the city rain streak across the glass. The room was dead quiet, save for the muffled thumping of the music downstairs.

He hadn't stepped foot in the estate in fourteen days.

He spent the last two weeks buried in the city's shadows, bleeding his focus into shipments, territo

    When another tear slipped down her pale cheek, his gaze dropped to her parted lips.Sebastian took a slow, deliberate step forward. His solid chest brushed against hers, the heat of his body completely wrapping around her.Panic flared in Viola’s chest as he tilted his head, lowering his face toward hers.He caught her chin, his large fingers holding her firmly in place so she couldn't look away. His lips brushed against the soft, flushed skin just beneath her eye. He parted his lips and slowly, deliberately sucked the hot, salty tear right off her cheek. The wet, lingering slide of his mouth against her delicate skin was agonizingly intimate—a dark, sensual taking that sent a violent shiver down her spine.Viola froze.All the air vanished from her lungs. Her heart thundered violently against her ribs. A hot, nervous flutter erupted in her stomach, clashing with the dark reality of his touch.She stood completely paralyzed until she felt the lingering heat of his lips pull away from

    Viola stood in the quiet of her bedroom, staring at the open wardrobe.Twenty silk dresses hung in perfect rows. He hadn't listened to a single word she said in the car. He bypassed her completely, having his men sneak the garments into her room like a silent trap. If her mother found them, there would be no excuses.Why is he doing this? The question echoed in her head as she stared at the expensive fabrics. Why is he playing these games with me? She was nothing more than a passing amusement to him, just another pawn to toy with. He had to know that pulling her into his orbit like this was only adding to her misery.No. This has to stop today, she decided.Viola looked around the room, her eyes darting across the shadows until they landed on a large, heavy canvas travel bag tucked in the far corner.She rushed over and dragged it to the wardrobe. Her hands shook as she yanked the hangers down, practically throwing the expensive silk inside. She didn't care how the delicate fabric twi

    The car ride back to the estate was agonizing. Viola sat rigidly against the passenger door, twisting her mother’s card between her fingers. She was terrified. If her mother saw that mountain of designer bags, she would assume Viola had begged him to buy them for her and punish her severely. But beyond just the fear of her mother, the sheer weight of what those dresses meant terrified her even more. She couldn't allow it. "I can't accept these," Viola whispered, breaking the heavy silence in the car. She looked at his sharp profile, her voice trembling but deeply desperate. "Please. I don't want it." Sebastian didn't even look at her. His eyes remained fixed on his phone, completely cold and unaffected by her rejection. When the SUV pulled up to the grand steps of the estate, Viola felt physically sick. Mateo opened her door. Before she could step out, Sebastian finally looked up. He gave a sharp, subtle nod to one of the guards standing near the trunk. The guard pulled out a sing

    The heavy velvet curtain settled silently, sealing them inside the tiny space.The fitting room was meant for one person. With Sebastian standing inside, his broad shoulders completely swallowed the remaining air. The sharp scent of dark tobacco and expensive cologne instantly overpowered the faint, sterile smell of the boutique.Viola backed up until her bare shoulder blades hit the cold glass of the large mirror. She clutched the heavy white fabric tightly to her chest, her knuckles turning bone-white. Her heart was hammering so violently she thought it might break through her ribs."What..." she breathed, her voice trembling as she looked up at him with wide, terrified eyes. "What are you doing here?"Sebastian didn't answer. He took a slow, deliberate step forward.Panic flared in Viola’s chest. She pressed herself harder against the mirror, trying to melt into the glass. She was half-naked, her back completely exposed, trapped in a space so small she could feel the dark heat radi

    Viola frowned in confusion. Dresses? She was supposed to pick out one cheap engagement dress. What was going on? Before she could ask, the attendants gently guided her into the massive, mirrored fitting room. When they handed her the first dress, Viola’s stomach dropped. It wasn't a engagement dress. It was a deep, blood-red silk gown with a plunging neckline. She had never worn anything like it in her life. She carefully slipped it on. Unlike Vanessa’s tall, lean model frame, Viola was shorter and much softer. She had a naturally curvy figure and a soft, slightly chubby tummy that she usually hid under oversized sweaters. But this dress hid nothing. It clung to her curves, highlighting the swell of her hips and the fullness of her chest. She felt completely exposed. But she didn't have a choice. "Ma'am, please step out," the attendant urged softly. Trembling, Viola walked out of the fitting room and stood on the small pedestal. Sebastian took a slow sip of his whiskey. The momen

    Viola flinched, turning to see her mother walking into the living room. She looked immaculate in a tailored dress, her sharp eyes glaring at Viola with deep disgust."Your engagement is in a few days," her mother snapped, crossing her arms. "You look like you are going to a funeral. You never miss a single opportunity to embarrass me, do you?"Viola kept her eyes on the floor, swallowing the bitter knot in her throat.Her mother reached into her designer purse and pulled out a black credit card, practically throwing it onto the small coffee table. "Take the driver. Go to the boutique in the city and buy your engagement dress. And don't pick anything too expensive. I don't want to see a massive charge on this card."Viola looked up, a small, desperate spark of hope flickering in her chest. "Can... can you come with me?" she asked quietly. Every other girl had their mother with them to pick out their dress.Her mother let out a harsh, dismissive scoff. "I have much better things to do t

    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
