LOGINHadesI watched her disappear into the crowd, and my eyes followed her without missing a single step as she moved further away from me and into the center of attention like she naturally belonged there.There was something dangerously captivating about Violet in moments like this, something that made it impossible to look away once your gaze landed on her, because she did not try to demand attention and yet somehow commanded all of it without effort. The soft lights traced along her body, highlighting every curve in a way that would make any woman envious, and for a brief second, I found myself thinking that even the word beautiful was not enough to describe her.When she stepped fully into the crowd, she began to move.Her body swayed along with the rhythm in a slow, lazy dance, as if she was simply enjoying herself without caring about who was watching, and that indifference only made her more intoxicating. People around her couldn’t help but stare, some openly admiring her as if th
Violet I blinked and lifted my gaze toward the bartender.The man’s entire expression changed. A second ago he had been smiling confidently, but now the color drained from his face so quickly that it almost looked painful. His eyes widened, his lips parting slightly as if he had forgotten how to breathe.Slowly, I looked up. Hades stood behind me, his hand resting heavily on my shoulder as if he had every right in the world to keep it there.Roman stood beside him, the one tapping his fingers lazily against the counter, his cold gaze fixed on the bartender like he was observing something unpleasant.And Alec was the one who had just finished the vodka that was meant for me, casually setting the empty glass back on the counter as though the situation didn’t concern him at all.All three of them were staring at the bartender. But Hades was the most terrifying. His dangerously beautiful blue eyes were locked on the man as he slowly tilted his head to the side.“Interesting,” he said slo
Violet The moment Alec pushed the door open and stepped inside, the atmosphere of the club changed.It was almost instant.The loud music was still blasting from the speakers, the lights were still flashing across the crowded dance floor, and people were still holding their drinks and laughing with their friends, but their attention shifted the moment we walked in.Conversations slowly died down.People who had been leaning close to each other, talking over the music, suddenly stopped mid-sentence and turned their heads toward the entrance. A few dancers froze awkwardly in the middle of their movements as their eyes landed on us, and even those who were clearly drunk enough to barely stand straight seemed to sober up a little when they noticed who had just walked in.Some even lowered their glasses halfway to their lips.Others simply stared.Their eyes widened, mouths slightly open in disbelief as they watched the four of us walk further into the club.I glanced around casually, my
Nora My heart pounded violently in my chest as I stared at him. Fear, desperation, and panic tangled together inside me until I could barely think clearly.I quickly reached forward and grabbed his hand before he could move away, clutching it tightly as if it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.“M-Matthew,” I stammered, my voice trembling as tears continued streaming down my face. “I did it for us. Can’t you see that? I lied because I love you. I wanted us to be together. If I didn’t lie, you would never have realized that you love me the same way I love you. I did it for us—”Before I could finish my sentence, Matthew violently yanked his hand away from mine.The way he pulled back made it look as if my touch had disgusted him, as if I was some kind of disease he wanted nothing to do with. For a brief moment he even glanced down at the hand I had grabbed as though he wished he could cut it off entirely.“Love you?” he repeated harshly, his voice filled with disbelief a
NoraMy face went completely pale the moment Matthew’s hand wrapped around my neck.It was not just shock that froze me in place, it was pure, bone-deep fear. My entire body locked up as a cold chill crawled slowly up my spine, and I could only sit there on the hospital bed, trembling uncontrollably while his fingers tightened around my throat as if my life meant absolutely nothing to him. The grip was not even desperate or wild; it was deliberate, like he knew exactly how much pressure to use to make breathing difficult without killing me immediately.I looked up at him, and for the first time since I had known him, I truly felt terrified of Matthew.I had seen him annoyed before, frustrated before, even cold and distant, but I had never seen him like this. His eyes were dark with rage, and the anger in them was not directed at some stranger or business rival, it was directed completely at me.His words echoed loudly inside my head.You dared lie to me.God.He knew.The realization
Matthew For a moment I realized something terrifying.I had forgotten how to breathe.My chest rose and fell irregularly as if my body no longer understood the simple act of inhaling and exhaling, and the more I tried to calm myself down the more chaotic everything inside my mind became. My thoughts were colliding into each other violently, forming questions that I could not answer no matter how hard I tried.Why?Why would that man be involved with Violet?Hades Sinclair was not someone who casually involved himself in other people’s lives, and he was certainly not the type of man who would look twice at a woman. That man ruled the world like a detached observer, someone who treated people as chess pieces rather than human beings, and even the most powerful women in the world could not capture his attention for more than a few seconds.So why Violet?Why would a man like him dive into a pool just to save her?Why would a man like him trouble himself to buy thousands of flowers for h
Violet I didn’t need to think about it. I already knew.There was only one person insane and rich enough that even twenty million dollars didn’t mean anything.Hades Sinclair.I gripped my phone so tightly my knuckles went white, forcing a deep breath before turning my gaze to Alec. “Do you know a
Violet “See you in hell, Riley.”I swung the knife, the blade cutting through the air, but before it could reach her, the doors burst open.I froze, my arm halting. My eyes snapped to the doorway.My uncle stood there, his secretary right behind him. His eyes widened the instant he saw Riley pinne
RileyI had always hated Violet. From the moment we were kids, everything about her set my teeth on edge. She was everything I wanted to be, beautiful, rich, the kind of girl who turned heads the second she walked into a room. And to make it worse, my father was only the adopted son, while hers was
Violet My uncle paused. “Impossible… Sebastian is in a coma? What happened to him? How can he be in a coma?”“Ask your daughter,” I spat back. “She knows what she did.”My uncle looked at Riley. She shook her head fast, her face pale. My aunt jumped in before he could even think. “What the hell ar
