KILLIAN

I held the phone steady against my ear, even though every inch of me wanted to throw it against the wall.

"Good evening, Killian," Arabella said softly. Even the sound of her voice disgusted me.

"Speak." I droned.

“I'm done playing games," she said, and I closed my eyes at the venom behind those four words.

"Who are you trying to deceive this time? Yourself?" I flicked my lighter open, the cool breeze ruffling my hair against my face.

"You answered my call, and I'm thankful for that," she whispered. She sounded drained. That might be a facade, though.

"I must be losing my mind," I muttered flatly, rubbing my jaw. "Because the only reason I'd take your call is if I planned to trace it."

"I know. But I owe this to you. I think I've ruined your life enough. I don't want you to be in pain when you eventually find out the truth. So, I want to make you see the truth before it's too late."

I leaned against the hood of my car, staring at the glittering skyline.

Oh no….It’s about to get dirty. Brace yourself, y’all. If you can’t stand brutal mindfuck and torture that borders on psychotic, I suggest you skip Killian’s and Arabella’s POV for the next few chapters. The themes get heavy from there. Sera’s POVs will be less. But you can read those. Anyways, suit yourself.

    SERA The intercom crackled once. Then I heard Matteo speak. "Don't panic, Sera. I'm not here to hurt anyone."My stomach churned with unease.I didn't move or say a word. The screen still showed him standing there as patient as a predator, his hands folded behind his back. He leaned in slightly, his eyes locking onto the camera lens."I just wanted to see you again," he said softly. "I just want to remind you that I miss you."I gripped the counter beside the monitor, my fingers aching around the knife. What the hell does he want?"I'm also here to tell you that..." His voice dipped lower. "I know where Killian is."My heart dropped into the pit of my stomach.He smiled. It was a slow, calculated, 'I-hold-all-the-cards' smile."I'd invite you to let me in, but I know you're smarter than that," he said, his voice laced with amusement. Bastard."So how about we talk? Just you and me. No violence. No threats. Just the truth," he added.I swallowed the bile rising in my throat, my pu

    Warning: This chapter includes themes of psychological distress, manipulation, and non-consensual situations. Please read with care.KILLIAN Everything hurt. It wasn't a sharp pain. No, it was dull. It felt as though something was crawling beneath my skin, rewiring my muscles, and scraping my bones.My eyes opened. Or I thought they did.The ceiling above me blinked as if it was alive. My limbs wouldn't move. My chest was bare. The cool air kissed skin I didn't remember exposing.Where the fuck was my shirt?"You're awake," Arabella crooned as if she was greeting a beloved pet. "Good morning, lover."My skull felt like it had been caved in with a hammer. I groaned, shifting against cold leather and steel. The sting of a tight restraint cut into my wrist. Ankles, too.Fuck.I blinked against the blur. My vision was swimming, the room softly pulsing. Red silk curtains, glinting city lights behind the glass, the clink of a glass being set down...Where the hell was I?"Where—" I c

    SERA The tea was imaginary, but Rue made me sip like it was imported from a Parisian café. She had so much sass for a five-year-old. I wondered who she got that from. Me or Killian? Probably the both of us. I was trying not to get my hopes up. Trust me, I was. But the more I hung out with her, the more I wanted her to be mine. How perfect would that be?"More tea, Mama!" Rue declared, lifting her plastic teapot with a flourish that made her curls bounce.I sipped dutifully from the tiny cup with a crooked handle. "Mmm. Exquisite, my lady. Is this... strawberry unicorn flavor?"Rue gasped dramatically. "Nooo, it's marshmallow dragon!""Ah. Of course." I gave her a solemn nod. "My apologies to the marshmallow dragons. I didn't mean to offend their legacy."Rue giggled and poured again, this time adding a crumbled teddy graham as a snack. He promptly drowned in my cup."Mama," she whispered, cupping her mouth against my ear as if she was about to deliver classified intel. "Mr. Bea

    KILLIAN The knock on the door jolted me out of the haze of pleasure that had me in a chokehold. And as if that wasn't enough, I heard the sound of her voice. Rue's."Daddy?"I swear, every neuron in my brain flatlined in an instant. My heart skipped several beats, my soul nearly leaving my body. Sera froze, still hunched between my legs. Her lips were parted in shock, her eyes wide. My cock, which was currently throbbing and dangerously close to exploding, had never felt more tragically disrespected."I..." I cleared my throat, which suddenly felt like I'd swallowed sandpaper. "J-Just a second, princess."Sera immediately scrambled off me, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand and snatching the sheets up to cover herself. I shoved the waistband of my pants back up, wincing at the painful ache still raging below. Fucking hell, I couldn't even think straight.Sera tossed me one of my shirts, and I threw it on in record time, tugging it low to cover the damn tent still very muc

    SERA "I know what you're thinking, Killian. You're probably planning on canceling the marriage license application or ignoring it completely. But if you do that, I'll make sure you'll never see Rue again," Arabella said, and Rue whimpered, burying her face against her father's chest. She probably didn't understand what was going on. But I was certain she understood that Arabella had threatened not to let her be with her dad."Say what you want, Arabella. But do you really think you will get away with it?" Killian said. His expression had changed from outright fury to a calm one. But his eyes... they gleamed with a psychotic sparkle. He was definitely plotting something.Arabella couldn't hide her annoyance at this point. She stormed towards Killian and tried to pull Rue away from him. He only had to push her off him with one hand while Rue burrowed closer to him."You really should stop testing me, Arabella. Or you're going to learn the hard way that you can't get away with thre
