My breath caught. “Adrian…” “Don’t say my name,” he growled, eyes dark with fury. “You think you can walk around in that tiny dress, letting other men stare at what’s mine? Take it off. Every piece. I want you naked and trembling before me.” “I..I didn’t mean..” “You meant to disobey. And for that, I’ll teach you exactly what happens to bad little virgins who tempt their husbands.” His lips brushed my ear, hot and cruel. “Strip!!, Bambina (doll). Or I’ll do it myself.” *** Elena Carter had been untouched all her life—the hidden heiress raised in shadows, her father’s secret weapon. He promised her everything—his fortune, his empire—if she destroyed Adrian Blackthorne, the ruthless rival he claimed had murdered her mother. Adrian needed an innocent wife to clean his reputation. Elena needed to play the part of the sweet virgin bride to ruin him from the inside. But nothing prepared her for nights that blurred punishment and pleasure, or for the cruel twist of fate...her ex, the man who broke her heart, was Adrian’s nephew. Now he wants her back and both men are willing to tear their family apart for her. Who will Elena chose?. She thought she was in control. She didn’t know she was the one being destroyed.
ดูเพิ่มเติมElena's POV I laughed once….I should have known better. Of course the one person I had trusted with the investigation of my child was also working for my father.“You… you know my name?” I said, shock punching straight through my chest. “You know my real name?”Hale didn’t flinch…..The gun stayed steady in his hand like it belonged there.“Of course I do,” he said calmly. “I knew from the first day.”My stomach dropped.“You’ve been playing me,” I said slowly. “This whole time….Of course you've been playing me.”He shrugged. “Playing along….you didn't want to be found out and I played naïve.”“That’s not the same thing,” I snapped.He took one step closer. “Elena, I am your father’s friend. What exactly made you think I wouldn’t recognize his daughter?”My jaw clenched. Remembering he was my father's friend all of a sudden brought back that bitter feeling of seeing him rule my mother's death a mother.“You have your mother’s eyes,” he continued, almost casual. “Same shape…the exact s
Elena's POV I grabbed my keys and left before I changed my mind.The drive felt longer than it actually was…..I convinced Adrian to let me go alone without security. My brain was the loudest at that exact moment and the penthouse was suffocating.My hands were tight on the steering wheel. My brain wouldn’t shut up.The body.The way the sheet dipped weird around her stomach…..The bruises….The way Hale paused before answering simple questions.Something wasn’t right….I could feel it in my bones marrow.And if something isn’t right, I don’t sit around waiting for someone to explain it to me.The morgue was quiet and clean.The receptionist looked at me with that sad face people use when they recognize you from the news.“They’re expecting you,” she said softly.I breathed in calmy as I walked down the hallway. The place was cold and quiet like an errie graveyard.The coroner met me in the hallway by fate.He was a man in his late 50’s with kind, sympathizing eyes, a sprinting gait an
Elena's POV I lay on my back staring at the ceiling, eyes wide open.Sleep refused to come.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw water and Amelia's cold, battered face. The way the sheet clung to her shape like it was trying to remember her body.So I kept my eyes open instead.Adrian hadn’t slept either.I could hear him moving around the house……pacing around frantically.Drawers opening and closing. The low murmur of his voice as he took calls on the balcony. He spoke like he didn’t want the walls to hear him. I turned my head toward the door, listening.“…handle it quietly,” he said into the phone.A pause.“No leaks….. Not yet…. We'll communicate the funeral process after the autopsy results.”Another pause.“I don’t care who you have to call.”His voice was calm, but I knew that calm. He was only hanging on by a thread…. I could feel his spirit breaking just from his voice alone.I rolled onto my side and pulled the duvet closer, not because I was cold but because I needed some
ELENA'S POV The smell of rotting flesh filled the air.River water…Metal…..Something rotten underneath it all.I didn’t think bodies had a smell from this far away, but maybe that was just my brain filling in the blanks. I looked around.Police tape fluttered in the wind like cheap decoration at a crime scene-themed party nobody asked for.Flashing lights reflected against the dark water. Red and blue everywhere.It felt unreal.Like I was watching a true crime documentary instead of standing in it.Adrian stood beside me, rigid. His jaw locked so tight I could see the muscle ticking……He hadn’t said a word since we got the call. I hadn't said anything either….. I knew he was hurting.“Stay behind the line, please,” a junior officer said.Adrian didn’t even look at him. “I know the protocol.”The officer swallowed and stepped back.Commissioner Hale approached us slowly, like he was walking toward a bomb.“I’m sorry you had to see this,” he said quietly.I folded my arms, not because
Elena’s POVI woke up slowly….like my body hadn’t decided if it wanted to be awake yet.The first thing I registered was warmth…then hoarse gentle breathing.Then the fact that someone was very much lying next to me.I opened my eyes.Adrian was there.He wasn't watching me like a predator or alrea
Elena’s POVThe spa was ridiculous.Not “nice” ridiculous.Not “oh wow, luxury” ridiculous.This was the kind of ridiculous where you start questioning capitalism.Everything was white and beige and calm in a way that felt aggressive. The air smelled like eucalyptus and money. Soft music played li
Elena’s POV“Why DID you marry him?”The question landed like a slap, insultive and stinging.I opened my mouth and nothing came out.Because what was I supposed to say?Because your son trapped me.Because my father is a monster.Because everyone keeps using my body like a bargaining chip.Instead
Elena’s POVMy heart didn’t stop when he said my name.That would’ve been easier.Instead, it slowed.Like my body needed a second to decide whether it wanted to survive this moment or not.“I could ask the same of you,” the man said calmly, his voice smooth as polished marble.“Heiress Elena Carte
