The day Damian Cross married Cassandra Hale, the city felt less like a celebration and more like a surrender.

The sky was a sheet of blinding, oppressive white.

There was no sun, only a flat glare that stripped the color from the trees and turned the stone of St. Patrick’s Cathedral into a fortress of gray ice.

Aria stood in the bridal suite, her hands shaking as she held the steamer.

The room smelled of hairspray, nervous sweat, and cloying lilies.

It was a chaotic hive of bridesmaids, makeup a

  • Forbidden By Her Sister's Husband    Chapter 260

    He dropped her onto the mattress. Not hard enough to hurt, but enough that she bounced once and pushed up on her elbows, hair falling messy around her face. She looked at him, lips parted, watching. He yanked his shirt open the rest of the way, buttons popping, and let it fall to the floor. Then he was over her.His mouth found hers again, slower now, deliberate. He took his time, tongue tracing her lower lip before slipping inside, tasting her like he had all night. One hand slid under the hem of her shirt, his palm flat against her stomach, feeling the way her muscles jumped at the contact. He dragged the fabric up inch by inch, knuckles brushing her ribs, until he pulled it over her head and tossed it aside. His eyes moved over her bare skin, dark and hungry, before he lowered his head and kissed down her throat, slow open-mouthed presses that left faint marks. He sucked at the spot just below her ear until she arched, a soft whimper escaping her.“Damian i need you to—”“Not right

  • Forbidden By Her Sister's Husband    Chapter 259

    Damian sat alone in the dark office, the desk lamp throwing a narrow circle of light across the papers scattered in front of him. His tie was gone, collar open, shirt buttons undone halfway down his chest. His hair was messy from running his hand through it too many times. One hand gripped the amber glass of whiskey tight enough that his knuckles showed white. He took a slow sip, the burn sliding down his throat, then set the glass back on the desk without looking at it. His eyes stared straight ahead at the dark window, cold and flat.All his life he had been the one in control. No one dared cross him. Not once. Not in the boardroom, not in the streets, not anywhere. He saw every move before it happened. He ended things before they started. But this time someone had actually challenged him. Someone had walked into his world and tried to take what was his. The unsettled feeling sat heavy in his chest, unnamed and sharp. He didn’t know who. He didn’t know how. That was what burned wors

    She stopped outside the door.She knew this voice. She knew exactly what it meant. She raised her hand and knocked.Half a second of silence.“Come in.” Flat and cold.She pushed the door open and stepped inside.Five people stood in a row against the far wall, spaced slightly apart, heads angled down. Nobody moved much. Damian stood at the window with one hand resting on the glass, his back partially turned. He turned when he heard the door.His eyes found hers.For one second, just one, the hard edge of his expression softened. Something settled in his face when it found her, a brief loosening, and she felt it even from across the room. Then his eyes moved back to the five people standing against the wall and everything closed over again.He looked at them.“Names. Access logs. Confirmed. On my desk by five.” He paused. “If you walk back in without them, don’t walk back in.” Another pause, shorter. “Go.”They went quickly and quietly, one by one past Aria without looking at her. The

    Aria woke up to an empty bed.His side was already cold. She lay still for a moment with one hand flat on the sheet where he had been, staring up at the ceiling. Then she reached for her phone on the nightstand.His message had come in at six-fifteen.Something came up at the office. Don't wait.She set the phone down and sat up slowly, waiting for the room to stop its faint spin. That dizzy feeling had been coming and going for two days now, nothing serious, just a quick tilt before everything settled again. She got up, walked to the kitchen, and made coffee for herself.She sat at the island with the warm mug between her hands.The penthouse was completely quiet. Morning light came through the big windows, flat and even, while the city below was still half-asleep. She stared at the coffee and let herself think about the one thing she had been pushing away for three days straight.Three evenings in a row he had come home with that tight look on his face. She had asked him once, on th

    The question felt different than Aria expected. No hidden push underneath it. Just the question. “Yes,” Aria said. Cassandra nodded slowly. She looked down at her hands. “I want you to hear something from me. And I need you to believe it, even if you don’t want to.” She paused. “I never loved him. Not once. What I had with Damian was a transaction, his name, our father’s connections, the image of it. That was the whole of it. I never even tried to feel more than that.” Her voice stayed steady. “What you two have… I don’t know what to call it, but it was never anything like what we had. It never could have been.” The room went quiet. Something shifted inside Aria, slow and careful. She breathed through it and kept her face still. She nodded once. “Okay,” she said. “I mean it, Aria.” “I hear you.” Cassandra looked at her a moment longer, then let it go. She started talking about smaller things, a show she had been watching, the doctor telling her to get outside in the mornings, a

  • Forbidden By Her Sister's Husband    Chapter 255

    The morning came in slow and golden through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the kind of light that made everything feel fresh and new.Aria was already at the kitchen island when Damian walked out of the bedroom. He had his jacket slung over one arm and was still fixing the second button on his shirt. His hair was a little damp at the temples. She had made eggs the way he liked them, not too dry, with toast on a small plate next to his mug. He stopped at the island, looked at the food, and then looked at her.“You didn’t have to do this,” he said.“I was up anyway.”He set his jacket over the back of the stool and sat down. She poured his coffee first, then hers, and they ate in the quiet. That still felt new to her, the easy kind of silence with someone who did not expect her to fill it. She watched him check his phone between bites, the clean line of his jaw in the soft light, the way he set the phone face-down when he was finished without anyone asking.When he was done, he carried h

    Something flashed in his eyes. Dangerous."You're comparing—""I'm telling you the TRUTH!" Her voice cracked. "You're not punishing me for lying! You're punishing me because I saw something in you that wasn't there! I thought you were better than this! I thought—" She choked on the words. "But you'

Not through natural recovery.But because Damian had made it his mission to ensure she ate like her life depended on it.She stood in front of the bathroom mirror that morning, studying her re

    "I don't care what time it is." His grip on her hair tightened slightly. "Turn. Around."She should refuse. Should fight. Should do anything except obey.But her body was already moving. Turning to face the counter. Palms pressing flat against the cold marble surface, the chill seeping into her ski

    Her heart stopped.The image showed Damian in a tuxedo at what looked like some charity event. And beside him—a woman. Beautiful. Dark hair, elegant dress, confident smile. They stood close together, his hand at her elbow.Below the photo, a caption: Manhattan's New Power Couple? Marriage Bells for
