His Forbidden Scarlett Wanting you isn't loving you
Chapter 46Christian's POVI didn't paint it.The words sat between us, heavier than anything else in that room full of her face staring back at me from every angle I'd loved.She was waiting for the rest of it, and I knew I owed her more than three words, even if I still didn't fully have the answer. I owed her more than I could ever give her."I don't know who did," I admitted. "I found it here, tucked among the others, years ago."She studied me, waiting, and I crossed to the canvas beside her instead of answering the question I could see forming behind her eyes."This one," I said, nodding toward a smaller painting near the window, "I painted the night you fell asleep on the library sofa. You were seventeen.” My lips pulled into a small smile. “You were reading an erotica despite Salvatore's strict warning and you fell asleep with the book on your chest." I could still see it clearly, the exact fall of lamplight across her face that night, the way I'd stood in the doorway, linger
His Forbidden Scarlett A hundred versions of you
Chapter 46Scarlett's POVHe led me through the house, past hallways I recognized and then several I didn't, until we reached a narrow corridor. My steps slowed as I scanned the walls. This mansion was huge and I hadn't gone through most of it but I knew this hallway.My stomach dropped as we approached a plain wooden door I'd seen once before, about a week ago. Clementina found me here and hurried me out with fear written plainly across her face. This was the room with the sheets. The room I'd found a painting of me."Christian." I stopped walking. "I've been here before."He glanced back at me, something unreadable moving behind his eyes. "I know.""Clementina caught me in here. She wouldn't let me look at anything.""I know that too." He held my gaze, steady, unflinching. "I'm the one who told her to stop you."The admission landed heavier than I expected, an old hurt resurfacing alongside the confusion of standing here again.He squeezed my hand gently in his grip, pushed the door
His Forbidden Scarlett One more secret
Chapter 45Scarlett's POVWhen I woke up, sunlight was spilling through the curtains.For a few seconds, I didn't move.I stared at the ceiling, still half trapped between sleep and the strange world I'd apparently stepped into last night.Then everything came back in a flash.The conversation.Christian.The truth he'd finally admitted. And by God, it was far from what I had expected.The creature in the forest and his eyes were beginning to make sense.“And you…are my mate.”I scanned the room, my lips slightly parted. Was I still in the real world?I closed my eyes and opened them again.My stepbrother was a werewolf.I let out a quiet breath.And that wasn't even the craziest part anymore.I was his mate.A laugh almost escaped me.Instead, I rubbed both hands over my face.This was insane. There were still a thousand questions sitting inside my head, all demanding answers at once.Why had he kept this from me? How long had he known? What did being his mate even mean? I didn't
His Forbidden Scarlett The keys to his ruin
Chapter 44 Scarlett's POV Christian was as handsome as a sin you knew you’d regret. He was tall, broad and deadly. He was everything I should have feared but I just couldn't. He was my first temptation and he would definitely be my last.Christian Marchetti was irresistibly dangerous.But tonight, my stepbrother looked nothing like the man I had always known.There was no coldness in his eyes. No arrogance. No impenetrable mask.He looked... vulnerable.My eyebrows crashed together as I stared at him, my heart tightening at the sight. My mind was still a whirlwind of confusion after everything he had just told me but I couldn't bring myself to care much. For the first time, I wasn't looking at the untouchable Christian Marchetti.I was looking at a man who looked like he was barely holding himself together.He sat on the bed, his legs apart and his head bowed, hands resting heavily on his knees.My mind was still spinning — werewolves, mates, my mother — it sounded like madness. Bu
His Forbidden Scarlett His darkest secret
Chapter 43Christian's POVI instructed Nino to leave alone. I wanted to drive myself.By the time the mansion came into view, I had already made the same decision three times.I would deal with Scarlett first.No—my unfinished business in the west wing.No.The marriage.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as the gates opened."Whiskey," I told the first staff member I passed, not slowing my stride. "My study. Now."I didn't drink it. I stood there with the glass in my hand, staring at nothing, bracing myself for a conversation with Scarlett I still didn't know how to have. What would I tell her? I couldn't even bring myself to face her after today. I went to the west wing first. I told myself I had to deal with it first, but deep down it was because I simply could not face her yet. He was chained in the same reinforced cell we'd used before, slumped against the wall, one leg still bleeding sluggishly where Clementina's bullet had caught him. He lifted his head the moment I
His Forbidden Scarlett A dangerous little promise
Chapter 42Christian’s POVMorning hadn't fully broken when I heard the knock. I was halfway through buttoning my shirt when the door opened before I could answer. Selene stepped inside, and I turned to look at her. She looked nothing like the woman who had nearly collapsed against me the night before. Her hair was pinned neatly in place, her dress was pressed, and her face was composed. Not a trace of the vulnerability I'd seen last night remained.“You look well,” I said flatly before turning back to my shirt.“I had a long night to prepare for this conversation.” She closed the door behind her and walked farther into the room. “I wanted to speak with you before you left.”If this was about the marriage, I didn't want to hear it. I'd already promised to marry Selene. The decision had followed me through the entire night, refusing to let me sleep. And beneath all of it was the knowledge that Scarlett still hated me. She had every reason to. I had hurt her, and the thought sat heavily
