Chapter 31 – The First Night in the New Hell
publish date:
2026-05-26 00:27:09The door opened again hours later.
I didn’t know how much time had passed. The room had no windows, only the weak light from the bulb on the ceiling. My body ached. The gunshot wound throbbed beneath the makeshift bandage, and the ropes had left my wrists and ankles raw. I was exhausted, thirsty, and filled with a rage so deep it almost suffocated me.
Margaret entered first. Behind her, a man.
He was tall, b

Love At Sea Chapter 12 (136) – After
The silence that settled between them wasn't comfortable, but it no longer carried the violence of the previous hours. For the first time since Elara had crossed the gates of that mansion, there were no screams, no threats, no desperate attempts to escape. Only the weight of two breaths sharing the same room and the strange sensation that both had crossed a line from which there was no return.Kael remained motionless for several minutes, keeping her close, as if any movement could shatter that rare moment of balance. The warmth of her body still seeped through the sheet, and the discreet scent of jasmine mixed with the smell of her warm skin filled the room. It was an aroma he would never admit out loud, but one he was already beginning to associate exclusively with her.Elara kept her eyes closed. She wasn't sleeping. He could tell by her uneven breathing and the slight furrow of her brow whenever she seemed to sink into her own thoughts. She was reorganizing the world inside her ow
Love At Sea Chapter 11 (135) – Seventy-Two Hours
The kiss ends slowly.I pull back just enough to see her face. Elara's lips are red, swollen. Her green eyes don't look away from mine. For the first time since the auction, she doesn't seem ready to kill me. She seems… tired. Confused. And yet, still, caught in me."Seventy-two hours," I repeat, my voice low. "After that, my mother and Luka are going to show up here. And I need to decide what to do with you by then."Elara lets out a short, humorless laugh."Decide? Like let me go? Give me back? Kill me?"I hold her face in both hands, my thumbs passing over her cheekbones."Decide if I introduce you as mine… or if I hide you even deeper."She swallows hard. I feel her throat move under my fingers."You're crazy.""I know."I pull her up from the sofa. Her body collides with mine. The black shirt rides up a little on her thighs. I drop my hands and grab her bare flesh, squeezing. Elara lets out a low sound. It's not just protest."Bedroom. Now."She doesn't fight when I carry her. Sh
Love At Sea Chapter 10 (134) – The Weight of Silence
She sleeps against my chest for almost two hours.I don't move.I don't want to break the moment.My hand keeps tracing slow circles on her back, feeling her breathing grow deeper and deeper. Her wet hair dries slowly against my skin. Her scent—soap, warm skin, and something I now recognize as mine—surrounds me.When she finally stirs, it's slow. Her body goes rigid the second she realizes where she is. I feel the change immediately."Stay still," I murmur, my voice hoarse from so much silence. "I'm not done holding you yet."Elara lifts her face. Her green eyes are swollen from sleep and from everything that happened in the shower. There's confusion in them. Anger. And a deep exhaustion that hits me in the chest."Why are you doing this?" she asks lowly. "Why don't you just fuck me and get it over with? Why all this game?"I hold her face with one hand, my thumb tracing lightly over the bruise that's fading."Because when I really fuck you, it won't be fast. Or empty. It'll be comple
Love At Sea Chapter 9 (133) – What I Can't Stop
The rest of the morning passes in tense silence.Elara eats what I put in front of her. Not much, but enough for me not to argue. Every bite is taken with anger. Every look she throws at me is a knife. I stay on the other side of the island, arms crossed, watching. Her body still carries the memory of last night—the way she clenched around my fingers, the moan she tried to swallow, and the taste of her in my mouth.When she finishes, I take her back to the bedroom. I point to the bathroom."Shower. Now."She looks at me as if she wants to kill me with her eyes, but she obeys. I stay outside the door, leaning against the cold wall, listening to the water start to run. The sound of the shower fills the hallway. I count the minutes. When she takes too long, when the silence stretches too far, I open the door without knocking.The hot steam hits my face.Elara is under the shower, her back to me. Her black hair is glued to her wet skin, falling to the middle of her back. The water runs do
Love At Sea Chapter 8 (132) – The Next Day
Chapters 5 and 6 were sent in French yesterday, but I've already corrected them. I'm just waiting for my editor to approve and release them to you.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I can't sleep.I spent the night on the sofa in the downstairs office, my head in my hands, her taste still on my tongue. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Elara's body contracting around my fingers. Heard the moan she tried to swallow. Saw the tears of rage and pleasure falling.Now it's almost nine in the morning.I walk up the stairs with the tray in my hand. Black coffee, toast, eggs, a sliced apple. Simple food. Necessary. When I open the bedroom door, she's sitting in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees, still only in her panties. The shirt I took off yesterday is thrown on the floor. Her neck carries the purple mark I made. Her eyes are swollen.She looks at me as if I were poison."Get out," she murmurs, her voice hoarse.I w
Love At Sea Chapter 7 (131) – What I Can't Control
I keep her locked up all day.Not out of cruelty.Out of control.I need to distance myself. I need to remember who I am and what I swore I would never become. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw her body under mine. Her marked neck. Her green eyes full of hatred and desire. The way she trembled when my mouth traveled down her skin.Now it's night.I walk up the stairs slowly. The key turns in the lock. When I open the door, I find her sitting on the edge of the bed, still wearing my black shirt. Her hair is messy. Her eyes are red. She didn't sleep well. Neither did I."You came back," she says, her voice hoarse from screaming alone."I never really left," I answer, closing the door behind me. "I just gave you space to hate harder."She laughs without humor."How generous."I walk toward her. Slowly. Every step is calculated. When I stop in front of her, she has to lift her face to look at me. I like this position. I like seeing her smile under me."Get up.""No."I grab her chin
Love At Sea Chapter 5 – Storm on the Deck
The Caribbean sun beats down on my face as we walk along the main deck. The black silk robe Zion gave me barely hides what happened in the last few hours. My wrists are still marked, red beneath the wide sleeves. Every step reminds me that I’m here against my will… and, at the same time, that I did
Love At Sea Chapter 4 – Crumbs of Luxury
Zion continues sliding the cold strawberry over my nipple, circling slowly, teasing. Elias keeps two fingers pressed against my soaked entrance, opening me, but without penetrating—just feeling how wet and desperate I am.“Say it,” Elias repeats, his voice deep and relentless. “Say you want us. Or
Love At Sea Chapter 3 – The Burning Wait
Time inside this suite becomes something viscous and cruel.Minutes stretch like hours. I no longer know if thirty minutes or three hours have passed since the door closed with that final click. The digital clock on the nightstand reads 23:47, but the black sea beyond the panoramic windows offers n
Love At Sea Chapter 2 – Fury and Solitude
I yank the black silk ropes with every ounce of strength I can muster, feeling them bite into my wrists like sharp teeth. My heart is pounding so hard it feels like it wants to escape my chest. I’m naked. Completely exposed. Surrounded by the three men I love and hate most in the entire world, whil
