Morning came too quietly.

Tiana woke to the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the curtains, the kind of calm that didn’t match the storm still lingering in her chest.

For a moment, she didn’t move.

Didn’t think.

Just breathed.

Slow.

Careful.

Like her body might break if she did anything more.

Then the memory returned.

Vince’s voice.

“Because I don’t want you to die.”

Her eyes opened fully.

And just like that, the calm shattered.

She sat up slowly, ignoring the faint ache in her chest.

    The tension didn’t fade.Not after the argument.Not after the silence that followed.It settled into the space between them like something alive—quiet, watchful, waiting for the next crack.Tiana stayed by the window longer than she needed to.Not because she cared about the view.But because turning around meant facing him again.And right now…She didn’t trust herself to do that without reacting.Behind her, Vince ended the call slowly.“Done,” he said.She didn’t turn.“Done what?”“A consultation.”That made her glance over her shoulder.“With who?”“Specialists.”Her expression hardened instantly.“No.”“You don’t even know the details.”“I don’t need to.”She turned fully now, her eyes sharp.“I told you already—I’m not interested in treatment.”“And I told you,” Vince replied calmly, “that it’s not optional.”Her laugh was short and cold.“You don’t get to decide that.”“I already did.”The words hit like a spark.And just like that—The argument reignited.“You’re crossing a

    Morning came too quietly.Tiana woke to the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the curtains, the kind of calm that didn’t match the storm still lingering in her chest.For a moment, she didn’t move.Didn’t think.Just breathed.Slow.Careful.Like her body might break if she did anything more.Then the memory returned.Vince’s voice.“Because I don’t want you to die.”Her eyes opened fully.And just like that, the calm shattered.She sat up slowly, ignoring the faint ache in her chest.“That doesn’t change anything,” she murmured to herself.It couldn’t.It wouldn’t.Because if she let that one sentence mean something…Everything else would fall apart.By the time she stepped out of the room, she had already rebuilt her walls.Cold.Controlled.Untouchable.Vince was in the living area, exactly where she expected him to be.Working.Focused.Like nothing had changed.But something had.She could feel it in the air.In the silence between them.“You’re awake,” he said without look

  • HIS COLD ADDICTION    chapter26***CRACKS IN CONTROL

    The room felt too still. Too quiet. Tiana’s body lay motionless on the polished floor, the faint rise and fall of her chest the only sign she was still breathing. Ethan stood over her, his expression unreadable, but his mind was already racing. This wasn’t just weakness. This wasn’t just a faint. There was something deeper here. Something hidden. “She’s not what she claims to be…” he murmured under his breath. The sharp sound of the doors slamming open cut through the silence. Ethan turned. And there he was. Vince Donovan. He didn’t rush. He didn’t speak. But the air shifted the moment he stepped inside. Cold. Heavy. Commanding. Ethan straightened slightly, his lips curving into a faint smile. “Well,” he said smoothly, “this is unexpected.” Vince’s gaze didn’t move to him. Not immediately. It went straight to Tiana. On the floor. Unconscious. And something inside him snapped into focus. “What happened?” his voice came out low. Contr

    The invitation arrived the next morning.It was simple. Clean. Expensive.Exactly what Tiana expected from a man like Ethan Caldwell.Private dinner. 7 PM.Caldwell Residence.No unnecessary details.No questions.Just an assumption that she would come.Tiana stared at the card for a long moment, her fingers tracing the embossed lettering.“He’s confident,” she murmured.“He’s careless,” Vince corrected from across the room.She glanced up at him.“You already knew he’d invite me?”“Yes.”“And you didn’t think to warn me?”“You wouldn’t have listened.”That was true.Still, it irritated her.Tiana placed the invitation down on the table and crossed her arms.“So this is it.”“The beginning,” Vince said.“No,” she replied quietly.“This is the middle.”Because her story didn’t begin with Caldwell.It began the day everything was taken from her.And it would end…With someone losing everything.“Are you going?” Vince asked.Tiana met his gaze.“You know I am.”He studied her carefully.

    The city felt different that night.Or maybe it was just Tiana.She stood by the wide glass window of Vince’s penthouse, staring down at the endless stretch of lights below. From up here, everything looked small. Insignificant.People.Homes.Lives.All reduced to nothing more than flickers in the dark.It reminded her of something.Of how easily her own life had been reduced to a file.A signature.A forgotten memory.Behind her, she could hear Vince moving around quietly. The soft clink of glass. The faint sound of liquid being poured.“You’ve been standing there for ten minutes,” he said.“I like the view.”“It’s dangerous.”She glanced over her shoulder slightly.“How?”“It makes people believe they’re above everything.”Tiana turned back to the window.“Maybe some people are.”“Not even me,” Vince replied calmly.She almost smiled.Almost.A glass appeared beside her.She looked down at it.“I don’t drink.”“You don’t eat much either,” he said.“That’s not a good argument.”“It’s

    The restaurant was quiet in a way that felt intentional.Not empty—no, there were people seated at tables, waiters moving gracefully between them, soft music playing in the background—but there was a sense of control in the air.Privacy.Power.The kind of place where deals were made without witnesses.Tiana noticed all of it the moment she stepped inside.“This is his kind of place,” she murmured under her breath.“Of course it is,” Vince replied calmly beside her.His presence was impossible to ignore.Even in a simple black suit, he carried authority like a second skin. People noticed when he walked in—subtle glances, lowered voices, quiet recognition.But tonight, Tiana wasn’t here for him.Her eyes scanned the room.Searching.Waiting.“Table in the back,” Vince said quietly, guiding her forward.They walked through the dimly lit space until they reached a secluded section.And there he was.Ethan Caldwell.He looked exactly like the kind of man she had imagined.Mid-forties.Sha
