~Thorne

The shower poured over my head like judgment. Cold. Relentless.

I stood beneath it longer than I’d planned, letting the chill bite into my skin, hoping it would numb the heat still boiling under it.

It didn’t.

My mind was louder than ever. Katherine’s voice echoing, twisting truth with madness.

“She's your Zoey now.”

“You only ever had eyes for Luna.”

“She buried her with her own hands.”

A breath. Then another. Still not enough.

I stepped out at last. The fog clung to me like regret. Lucia stood by the doorway, silent, towel in hand.

She didn’t speak. Just extended it like she hadn’t just seen me stripped bare, physically and otherwise.

But I caught it, the way her eyes flicked to my face, then away. Like she wanted to ask what was breaking me but knew better.

"Thank you," I said, voice low.

She gave the smallest nod and turned, as if it was routine.

I dried off without hurry. The towel scratched against my scars like a reminder: I’m not a man. I’m a weapon. And weapons don’

  • HE BROKE ME; THEN HE OWNED ME   Say It Again!

    ~KatherineFreya was the first to speak, her voice cracking. "We didn’t even know Luna. We never touched her.”“He doesn’t care about facts,” I muttered, keeping my eyes on the door. “He only cares about eliminating threats. Loose ends. Anyone who’s ever been in the same room as Zoey.”“Which means us,” Lorenzo growled. “Because we’ve all stood by you.”I gave him a look. “Not out of love.”He didn’t argue.Rosy whimpered as she shifted on her bound wrists. “There’s no way out. You know that, right? He’s going to burn us alive.”I leaned back against the wall, pretending not to care. “You’re smiling,” Raven said suddenly, voice low and quiet.I turned my face toward him, tilting my head. “Am I?”“You’ve thought of something,” he said.I said nothing. But I didn’t deny it.He leaned his head back against the wall, eyes on the ceiling. “Don’t gamble with us, Katherine. If you’ve got something say it.”I breathed in deep. “I need time,” I said. “And luck. Both of which we don’t have.”

  • HE BROKE ME; THEN HE OWNED ME   The End? or The Begining?

    ~KatherineI coughed as I regained consciousness, the taste of metal and smoke clinging to my tongue. My eyes fluttered open, blurry at first but it didn’t take long to register the silhouettes around me. I was the last one to wake up.Raven. Lucien. Lorenzo. Freya. Rosy.All of them bound like me, wrists tied behind their backs, legs restrained. They were breathing, awake but too quiet. It was the kind of silence that knew death was just around the corner.My head pounded as I tried to shift, only to feel the tight bandage cutting into my wrists. I looked down or as far as I could tilt and saw it, scattered gas canisters. Dried leaves formed a ring around us.And then I saw it. Three lighters. Neatly placed, as if we were a ceremonial offering.He was going to burn us alive.Of course he was. It wasn’t enough to kill us. He wanted us to feel it. Watch each other go up in flames. Suffer.I swallowed hard. My heart should’ve been racing, but it wasn’t. It was slow. Cold. Because dee

  • HE BROKE ME; THEN HE OWNED ME   Deadly Plans Don't Fail!

    ~ThorneThey began to walk back to their car, slow, cautious steps, every single one of them checking over their shoulder at me like prey unsure if the predator was finished toying with them.Elena’s hand suddenly wrapped around my arm from behind. Her voice was soft, but anxious. “That’s all, right? That’s it? You’re not going to—”“Stay out of this, Elena,” I cut in, not even glancing at her. “Lucia, escort her back to the car.”Lucia obeyed without question, tugging Elena gently but firmly away.Raven’s hand gripped the handle of the car door.Then it happened.A sound. Low. Subtle. Beeping.Not from one car.All of them.Simultaneous.A synchronized countdown started blinking on the dashboards, digital red numbers ticking down from 60.“What the hell is that?” Rosy muttered, stepping back instinctively.Lorenzo’s voice cracked through the tension, “It’s a time bomb! Just sixty seconds!”Panic hit their eyes, but they didn’t scatter yet. Not until I opened my mouth.I tilted my hea

  • HE BROKE ME; THEN HE OWNED ME   His Real Enemy? Elena.

    ~KatherineI was playing mind games with him.But the sick truth? Those games were real. Every word I said had teeth. Truth wrapped in manipulation because that’s the only way to survive Thorne del Roi.Suddenly, he dropped to his knees.Like the weight of everything, the names, the blood the past had finally crushed his spine.Sweat broke across his brow, his chest heaving. He looked human for one fleeting second. Vulnerable. But I didn’t dare believe it.“Get out,” he barked at his guards.They hesitated. I could see it in their eyes, they didn’t want to leave him like this. Shaking. Unstable. But he snapped again, louder, darker, and they obeyed. The heavy door slammed shut, and the silence afterward felt like a warning.Thorne rose slowly, stalking to a table lined with weapons. He swiped his arm across it, scattering everything, metal clattered to the floor like angry thunder. His back was to me, but I saw his fists clench.Then he turned.And came toward me.I didn’t flinch.

  • HE BROKE ME; THEN HE OWNED ME   Who Am I?

    ~ElenaI watched Raven pace the room like a storm trapped in a cage. His hand kept raking through his hair, over and over, like he could scrub away the panic setting into his bones. Every few seconds, his eyes flicked to me, not with anger, but with something far more dangerous.Desperation.The kind of desperation that makes men do stupid things. The kind that makes them trade lives.Like mine.Across the room, Freya stood still. Her arms folded, her blonde hair cascading down one side like a perfect distraction, but her stare was sharp, focused on me. There was no malice in her eyes, just resignation.They didn’t have a choice.Lucien was out there. Bleeding. Maybe dying.And I was the only currency left on the table.Funny. I used to be a person. A woman. Now I was leverage. A name tied to power, pain, and a man who might burn the world just to get me back.My hand slid slowly across my stomach, over the spot Marcel had stabbed. The ache still lived there, quiet and mean, like a
