Zayden’s POV

I should have been working.

There were reports on my desk. Calls I needed to make. Men waiting for instructions.

Instead, I was sitting in my study thinking about my wife.

Annoying woman.

I stared at the small object on my bed.

Bella had practically thrown it back at me this morning, demanding I take it. Then got angry when I actually did.

I chuckled to myself.

The image of her flushed face returned immediately.

The embarrassment. The outrage.

The way she couldn’

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 70 - Black It Is

    Bella’s POVIt had been two days since I had seen Zayden.Two days since he collapsed.Two days since Emerald threw me out of his room like I didn’t belong there.And two days since I promised myself I would stop caring.The problem was that promises were easier to make than keep.It was the day of the gala. I sat in front of the vanity mirror while Gianna stood behind me, brushing through my hair.The room was quiet.“Careful, please,” I said, the moment she tugged tightly at my hair. Gianna immediately eased her grip. “Sorry.”“It’s okay.” I waved a hand.She smiled, pulled my hair into a sleek back and tied it up into a neat ponytail.Our eyes met in the mirror…I could tell she wanted to speak."What's on your mind?" She asked me finally.I raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"She smiled. "The room may be silent, but your thoughts are very loud."I laughed. Despite everything, I laughed. "It's nothing."Gianna tilted her head. "You're the one who said you wanted us to get to know each

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 69 - Fragile Thing

    Zayden’s POVI woke up feeling heavy.That was the only word for it. Heavy. Like someone had filled my bones with lead and my lungs with cotton. My arms felt like they belonged to someone else. My legs wouldn't move when I told them to.I blinked at the ceiling, tired. The light was too bright. The room smelled like antiseptic and something floral.An IV line was taped to my arm.I stared at it for a long moment, letting the memories trickle back. The cough. The fire in my chest. My mother's voice asking if I was okay. The nurse stood at the foot of the bed, reviewing a chart. My mother sat in the armchair by the window, her arms crossed, her expression carved from stone."You're awake," Maria, the nurse, said. "How are you feeling?""Fine," I lied.She didn't look convinced. "You're going to need a lot of rest. This was one of those episodes — the kind we've been trying to prevent.""I know." I shrugged."Have you been taking your medication?" She asked me."Yes.""Have you been sle

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 68 - No More Crying

    Bella’s POVI was in my room when I heard it.Emerald's voice. Constantly asking Zayden what was wrong. I could hear the coughing — like something was trying to tear out of his throat.His room was right beside mine. I didn't have much of a choice but to hear everything that was happening.I stood from my bed, opened the door slowly, and waited.I heard his voice. Low, rough, struggling."Call the nurse. Now.""No." Emerald's voice was firm. "We need to get you to the hospital.""Mom." Zayden's voice became firmer. "Just call the nurse. Please."After what felt like moments, Emerald finally spoke. "Alright. Don't move."I hid behind the door as she bolted out of the room. That was the fastest I had ever seen her run. Or seen her do anything.When she was out of sight, I took a deep breath and stepped out.Should I be doing this? I thought to myself as I walked slowly to the room beside mine.I paused by the door and saw him.Zayden.He sat on the bed, holding his chest. His eyes were

    Zayden’s POV I should have been working. There were reports on my desk. Calls I needed to make. Men waiting for instructions. Instead, I was sitting in my study thinking about my wife. Annoying woman. I stared at the small object on my bed. Bella had practically thrown it back at me this morning, demanding I take it. Then got angry when I actually did. I chuckled to myself. The image of her flushed face returned immediately. The embarrassment. The outrage. The way she couldn’t even look me in the eye. I knew exactly why. Because she knew I was right. She could deny it all she wanted. She could lie to her friend. Lie to herself. Lie to me. But I knew Bella had thought about me. I sank deeper into the bed, the room's dim glow wrapping around me. My thoughts stayed on her, I imagined her lost in fantasies of me. Her thighs would tremble as pleasure built, her pussy tightening around that toy with every pulse of need, her body arching in silent surrender to

  • His Dark Desire: The Devil’s Bride    Chapter 66 - Lying Through Your Teeth

    Bella’s POVI stood in the middle of my room, staring at the closed door.My heart was still racing. My face was still hot. And that stupid vibrator was still in his hand."Nasty girl."I groaned and pressed my palms against my eyes.I needed to calm down. I needed to think about something else. Anything else.I walked to the closet and pulled open the doors.No ugly dress today. But also nothing too attractive. Just... normal. A simple cream-colored blouse. Dark trousers. Comfortable flats.I dressed quickly, then brushed my hair and left it loose.When I turned back to the bed, I winced.The mattress was still bare. And the memory of why it was like that made my stomach twist.A knock came at the door."Come in," I said.Gianna and Chiara stepped inside, both carrying fresh sheets, pillowcases, and cleaning supplies."Good morning, Mrs Romano," the blonde one said with a small smile. "We're here to clean up."I nodded. "Go ahead. But before you do — remind me of your names again. I'

    Zayden’s POVThe drive back home was quiet.Mainly because I was the only one in the car.I had left Nico back at the warehouse to clean up the mess and handle whatever still needed handling.I have to admit, tonight came as a shock to me.Everything I thought I knew — I didn’t.Alejandro had been working for Hiram all along and the cargo I burned? It belonged to him.Hiram Moretti.The ghost everyone feared but nobody saw.And now I finally knew the truth.Hiram was the one who killed my family.Alejandro was just the coward who pointed him in the right direction.I gripped the steering wheel tighter.For years I thought some nameless cartel had ordered the attack.I never imagined it was him.A dark chuckle left my throat.Well, I killed Matteo. So Hiram could consider us even.Though somehow I doubted he would.When I got home, I parked the car in the driveway and stepped out. The cold night air hit my face immediately, but it did nothing to cool the anger sitting inside me.The vi
