LOGINI got fed up waiting for Kael. The party was still loud, but he never came back. I checked my phone again no calls, no texts. My heart felt heavy. I couldn’t stay there smiling and pretending everything was okay. So I decided to leave.
I tried to order an Uber outside the apartment building, but the app kept saying “Declined” because of some payment issue. It was already late at night. I sighed and started walking toward the main road. I thought I could take public transport or just walk until I found a safe taxi. The streets were dark and quiet. My short dress felt too short now. I walked fast, hugging my arms around myself. After a few minutes, I noticed two guys behind me. They were walking closer and closer. One of them laughed loudly. My stomach twisted with fear. I pulled out my phone and called Kael again. This time, his phone was completely off. No ringing, just straight to voicemail. Panic rose in my chest. I started walking faster, almost running. The guys sped up too. “Hey, pretty girl! Where are you going alone?” one of them called out. I didn’t answer. My hands shook as I tried to dial again. Nothing. Tears stung my eyes. Why wasn’t Kael there when I needed him? Damien’s POV I watched Elara walk out of the party alone. She looked upset. My chest felt tight. It was late almost midnight and the streets weren’t safe for a young girl like her. I checked my phone one more time. No messages from Kael either. That boy was probably off doing what he always did. I grabbed my car keys quickly. “I need to make sure she’s safe,” I told myself as I hurried to my car. I drove around the area, looking for her small figure in the dark. Then I saw her. Two rough-looking guys were following close behind her. One of them grabbed her arm. My heart pounded hard. Anger rushed through me. I stopped the car with a screech and jumped out. “Get your hands off her!” I shouted. The guys turned around, surprised. I didn’t wait. I punched the first one hard in the face. He fell back. The second guy tried to swing at me, but I hit him too fast and strong. They both ran away cursing. “Damien!” Elara cried out. She looked so scared, her eyes wide and teary. She ran to me and held onto my shirt for a second. “You came… I was so afraid.” I wanted to pull her close and keep her there, but she let go quickly, stepping back like she remembered who I was. “I’m sorry… thank you for saving me,” she whispered, looking at the ground. “Get in the car,” I said gently. “Let me drop you off. Where is that cold boyfriend of yours? He left you alone this late at night?” She didn’t answer. She just got into the passenger seat quietly. I drove her back to her dorm. The car was silent except for the soft sound of the engine. My heart kept beating fast every time I looked at her. She was so small and pretty sitting there, her long dark hair messy from the wind. I didn’t understand why she made me feel this way. She was my son’s girlfriend. She was only nineteen. But I couldn’t stop thinking about how she felt last night so tight, so wet, screaming my name. When we reached her dorm, it was quiet and dark. I parked the car and walked her to her room even though she said, “I can go by myself. “I insist,” I told her. At her door, she turned to me. “Thank you again,” she said softly. I couldn’t hold it anymore. The pull was too strong. I stepped closer, cupped her face with both hands, and kissed her. My lips pressed against hers hard. She froze for a second, then she didn’t push me away. She opened her mouth for me. The kiss became deeper, angrier, full of all the guilt and hunger we both felt. I grabbed her ass with both hands, squeezing the soft flesh, and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist without thinking. I carried her inside the room and kicked the door shut. We fell onto her small bed. The kiss turned wild. I pulled her dress up and pushed her panties aside. We fucked so hard. I thrust into her tight pussy fast and deep, just like last night. Elara moaned into my mouth, her nails digging into my back. Even though guilt was written all over her face, her body betrayed her she was soaking wet for me again. She met every thrust, whispering “yes” and “harder” between kisses. I fucked her until her legs shook and she came around my cock, crying out softly so no one in the dorm would hear. When we finished, both of us breathing heavy, I kissed her forehead gently. “Lock the door after I leave,” I whispered. She nodded, her eyes full of confusion and shame. I got up, fixed my clothes, and walked out. I waited outside until I heard the lock click. As I drove away, my mind was full of her. I knew this was wrong. She belonged to my son at least on paper. But I couldn’t stop. I wanted her more than anything. Elara I lay on my bed after he left, staring at the ceiling. My body still tingled from his touch. I felt him between my legs again sore, wet, and satisfied. Guilt washed over me like cold water. What was I doing? Kael was my boyfriend. Damien was his father. But when Damien kissed me, I couldn’t say no. My body wanted him even when my mind screamed that it was wrong. I pulled the blanket over me and closed my eyes. Tomorrow I would fix everything. I would talk to Kael. I would stay away from Damien. But deep down, I already knew it would be hard to keep that promise.Aurora’s POVThe afternoon sun filtered through the curtains of Theo’s dorm, casting a warm golden glow over our tangled bodies. We had spent the last hour making love — slow, sensual, and deeply emotional. His thick cock had stretched me so perfectly, every deep thrust hitting that spot that made me see stars. I had come twice before he finally spilled inside me, holding me tight as we rode the waves together. Now I lay curled against his chest, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on my bare back, his heartbeat steady under my ear. For a moment, everything felt right. The world outside — the rumors, the family complications, the lingering fear from Jake’s attack — felt distant.Then my phone rang.It was Mom.I answered with a forced steady voice, my body still humming from Theo’s touch. “Hi, Mom.”“Sweetheart,” Mom said, her voice unusually serious. There was a long pause, as if she was choosing her words carefully. “We need to talk. I know everything.”The room seemed to tilt. Theo t
Aurora’s POVThe days after the warehouse felt like walking through thick, suffocating fog. Every shadow made me flinch. Every unexpected sound sent my heart into that dangerous, irregular flutter my doctor had warned me about since I was a child. The bruises on my wrists had faded to faint yellow marks, but the terror in my mind was still raw, vivid, and unrelenting. Jake’s hands on me. The gag. The ropes. The single damning photo he had forced in front of my eyes. The laughter. The threats.I tried to push through my classes, but my focus was shattered. During a lecture, a door slammed somewhere in the building and I nearly jumped out of my seat, my breath catching painfully in my throat. I excused myself to the bathroom, locked myself in a stall, and tried to breathe through the panic attack. Theo. I need Theo. But he was still dealing with his mom’s worsening heart condition, and I didn’t want to burden him more than I already had.When I finally slipped into his dorm that evening
Theo’s POVThe anonymous call had changed everything.Aurora had played it for me on speaker the moment it happened. The distorted voice, the threat, the chilling final words — “This isn’t finished.” Her face had gone pale, her hands shaking as she clutched the phone. I held her through the panic attack that followed, her heart fluttering dangerously against my chest while I whispered promises I wasn’t sure I could keep.I couldn’t let this continue.The next morning, I met Mark in a quiet corner of the athletic complex, far from prying eyes. He had been my closest friend through all of this, the only one besides Mia who knew fragments of the truth. His eyes were serious when I explained the call.“Anonymous number. Couldn’t trace it from her phone. I need your help. We find who’s behind this. And we deal with Jake and Cassie.”Mark nodded without hesitation. “Jake first. That bastard kidnapped her. Cassie second — the photos were her doing. I’ll make some calls. I know people who can
Aurora’s POVThe nightmares came relentlessly, night after night, like a shadow that refused to be banished by the daylight.I would jolt awake in the dead of night, gasping for air, my heart hammering against my ribs in that terrifying, irregular flutter my doctor had warned me about since childhood. In the dreams, Jake’s hands were always on me — rough, insistent, pinning me to that cold wooden chair in the damp warehouse while he forced the manipulated photo of Theo and Cassie in front of my eyes. The gag in my mouth tasted of dust and fear, muffling my screams into pathetic whimpers. The ropes burned my wrists raw with every desperate tug. His mocking laugh echoed through the empty space, growing louder, more sinister. Sometimes the nightmare twisted further: Theo never came. Jake succeeded. I was alone, exposed to the world, my secret love with Theo broadcast for everyone to see and judge. The shame, the terror, the betrayal — it all crashed over me until I woke up sobbing, body
Theo’s POVThe rage never left me.It burned like a live coal in my chest, hot and unrelenting, flaring brighter every time I looked at the fading bruises on Aurora’s wrists or the fear that still lingered in her eyes when she woke from nightmares. Jake had put his hands on her. He had tied her up. He had tried to force himself on her. He had terrorized the woman I loved more than life itself.I couldn’t let that slide.I sat in the corner of my dorm late one night, Aurora sleeping peacefully in my bed after another emotional round of lovemaking. Her naked body was curled under the sheets, hair fanned across my pillow, the faint marks of my passion still visible on her neck and thighs. She looked so vulnerable, so precious. My fists clenched at my sides as memories of that warehouse flooded back — her muffled screams, Jake’s mocking laugh, the terror in her eyes when he showed her that manipulated photo of me and Cassie.No. This wasn’t over.I needed to do something about Jake. I nee
Theo’s POVI sat across from my mom in the quiet kitchen of our city apartment, the late afternoon light filtering through the blinds and casting long shadows across the table. The weight of the words I had just spoken hung heavy in the air between us. My mom stared at me, her eyes wide with shock, the spoon in her hand frozen mid-stir in her tea. The diagnosis of her heart condition had brought me home for the week, but the real reason I had finally confessed everything was the unbearable guilt of hiding Aurora from the one person who might understand.“Theo… Aurora?” she whispered, voice barely audible. “Damien and Elara’s daughter? Your cousin?”I nodded, throat tight, fingers gripping the edge of the table. “Yes. But it’s not like that. We didn’t know who the other was when we met at Crestwood. It started as hate, arguments, fights… then something real happened. I love her, Mom. More than I’ve ever loved anyone. She’s not just family. She’s my everything. The one who makes me want
ElaraThe next morning, I went to school feeling stronger than before. Michael dropped me off as usual. As soon as I stepped onto campus, people started staring at me with fishy looks. Some whispered, some pointed, but I didn’t mind them. I kept my head high and walked straight to my classes.Then
ElaraI had finally realized the truth I couldn’t live without Damien. He had become my everything. His touch, his voice, his strong arms around me every night… I needed all of it. Even though people at school whispered bad things about us and looked at me like I was doing something terrible, I di
ElaraEven though I tried so hard to hide it, I was so happy. Sitting in Damien’s car as he drove me away from that dirty motel, my heart was beating fast with joy. I didn’t want to show it on my face, but deep inside, I felt warm and safe again. I had missed him so much. The days without him had b
Damien’s POV I sat in my car a few blocks away from the motel, my phone screen glowing in the dim light. The hidden camera feed from Kael’s usual spots and the tracker I had on him showed everything clearly. Lucas, my private guy, had done a good job.There he was my son, in a cheap motel room wit
