PARIS, FRANCE — OLIVIER'S HOUSE

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 141 — THE SHADOW THAT NEVER DIES

    ELIZABETHPRESENTPARIS, FRANCEThe weekend at his house had been intense, intoxicating… and ended far too quickly.I barely had the chance to speak with my brothers and our soldiers about the investigation across the city regarding the Black Hand and Olivier before they left. Pierre barely let me leave the bedroom—the man is insatiable, keeping us imprisoned in the room like prisoners of our own desires.The curtains remained drawn.The phone turned off.The world outside, forgotten.He devoured me entirely, leaving marks that weren't just on my skin but on my soul. And today I can barely walk without feeling the weight of every touch, every bite, every promise whispered in the dark.I made my interest in Paris clear during our drive to Maison. With carefully calculated questions about architecture, about the bistros hidden in alleyways, and about the places only true Parisians know.But since we arrived at Maison, he disappeared.We're in a race against time to launch the new collec

Pyotr thought he would destroy me by attacking my family, but he underestimated my will to survive. And now, while the world believes I'm dead or disappeared, I work in the shadows, letting Henri take command of my business. He's the only one I trust, my right hand, my brother in all but blood.The room is dark, only the dim light of a lamp illuminating the documents scattered across the table. I study every move, every transaction, every loose thread that might lead me to Pyotr. And then, the door opens. Henri enters, his face serious, his eyes carrying something that isn't just duty—it's discovery."Olivier, I have something important."He doesn't need to say more. His tone already tells me things are about to change."Speak."Henri places a dossier in front of me, opening it to reveal photographs and reports."Pyot

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 139 — THE PROMISE THAT BURNS

    ELIZABETHThe weight of my lie still burns in my throat.I almost gave everything away. Almost. One wrong move, one extra word, and he would have... But I was saved by the agreement we made about not knowing each other's past.And then he said he would be worse than a hero to me. I laughed. Not because it was funny, but because it was dangerously attractive. Charming. Exciting. That hoarse tone of voice, the promise that he wouldn't be a savior, but something darker and more real. Someone who would drag me into the abyss with him, instead of pulling me toward the light.And now, when his hands pull me close, when his lips find mine with a mixture of possession and restrained fury, I give in. I let him take what he wants. I let his hands explore my body as if they owned it. I let his teeth bite my lip, his warm breath mingling with mine.As long as he doesn't speak to me of love…And then, I can let him shatter me.Let his hands, so skilled at dominating the world, be relentless in dom

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 138 — THE WOLF AND PARADISE

    PIERRE DUMONTThe bathroom steam still clings to my body as I step out, the towel wrapped around my waist and my hair dripping over my shoulders. I expect to find her in bed, between the sheets, perhaps still asleep or already awake, smiling at me with that look that leaves me breathless.But the room is empty.I put on the first pair of shorts I find, not bothering to dry my hair. I go down the stairs in long strides.I hear music coming from the kitchen.And then, the smell. Golden butter. Cinnamon. Fresh coffee.I reach the kitchen, and there she is.Elizabeth.With her back to me, wearing only one of my shirts—a navy blue silk one. The sleeves cover half of her hands, the thin fabric outlining the curve of her hips as she sways slightly to the rhythm of the music coming from her phone. A messy bun leaves golden strands falling over her nape, and for a moment, I stand at the door, forgetting how to breathe.She's… dancing.Not one of those rehearsed dances, but those small, intimat

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 137 — AFTER THE STORM

    ELIZABETHThe first touch of his lips against mine sends a shock through my entire body — that shiver that starts at the nape of my neck and runs like fire down to my toes. His fingers grip my hips with calculated force, and I feel every pressure as if it leaves marks on my skin, even through the fabric.When his tongue invades my mouth, it's as if my entire nervous system has been jolted. My body freezes for an instant before responding, every muscle tensing and then yielding in a way that makes even my knees tremble.He pulls my hair, and the sharp sensation of pain and pleasure travels down my neck, leaving goosebumps on the skin along the path his lips trace. His teeth on my shoulder are like a direct shock to the system—my stomach contracts, my thighs tremble on their own, and something hot and heavy forms right at my core.The world outside disappears.The roar of my own blood echoes in my ears, drowning out any sound other than the hoarse moan that escapes my throat. Pierre pus

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 136 - THE CONTRACT AND POSSESSION

    PIERRE DUMONTThe week felt like an eternity, each day dragging my anxiety to new heights. Sending the message to Elizabeth about our weekend plans was a step I let echo in my mind, accompanied by the idea of a contract outlining our relationship—something purely physical, without emotional entanglements. I waited anxiously for this day to arrive. The Rolls-Royce Phantom glides silently along Rue de Rivoli, its Italian leather seats enveloping us in a luxurious embrace. Elizabeth watches Paris pass by the window, her long fingers tracing invisible patterns on the darkened glass. The reflection of the city lights dances in her green eyes—two deep lakes where I would willingly drown.Antoine reserved a table for us at Le Grand Véfour, one of the oldest and most exclusive restaurants in Paris, where Napoleon and Victor Hugo once dined. The place breathes history, with its gilded mirrors, delicate frescoes, and a reverent silence that seems to muffle even the sound of silverware against f

    Zedekiah GreenThe weak light from the bulb swung from the ceiling like a broken pendulum, casting long, distorted shadows that seemed alive on the damp walls of the basement.

    Liora VossI woke to the constant sound of dripping water. Ploc. Ploc. Ploc. A slow, relentless rhythm echoing off the damp concrete walls, marking time like a macabre clock. The heavy smell of mold and wet earth filled my nostrils, mixed with something metallic I preferred not to identify. The dar

    Heros GreenNew York, Todt Hill — 3 days laterThe air inside the office was dense, almost palpable. The scent of aged whiskey mingled with the aged leather of the furniture and the residual smoke of Cuban cigars that still lingered in the environment. I found myself seated behind the imposing dark
