An hour later, Maya was in my room with a makeup artist doing finishing touches on my face...

"If you throw up on this floor, Celene, I swear to God I am leaving you here."

Maya’s voice cut through the dull, throbbing ache right behind my eyes. I winced, squeezing my lids shut as the makeup artist used a cool, damp beauty blender to pat my cheekbone repeatedly.

"Careful, Sarah," Maya told the makeup artist, who was treading very lightly around my sour mood. "Make sure you cover the dark circles

  • Married At My Ex Husband's Burial   Cole Ryder's POV

    Cole Ryder’s POVI pushed her too far this time...But then again, if she was going to be a part of my world... she needed to experience my world... be familiar with the crimson color of it... the way of life, the rules... the freedom... Sometimes, in order to be fully part of the darkness, you need to experience a little shadow...The metallic smell of blood still hung in the air behind me. Councillor Stephen’s body was warm on the floor, but I didn't spare him another thought as I pulled the heavy oak doors shut. I took a clean handkerchief from my breast pocket and wiped the blood from my knuckles before turning to the two guards waiting in the hallway."Get Stephen’s body out of there," I ordered, my voice quiet. "Burn the suit. Send the rest down to the docks. I want this wing cleaned before sunrise.""Understood, Boss."They moved past me and entered the room. I had barely taken three steps toward the private elevator when three more guards came rushing around the corner. Their

  • Married At My Ex Husband's Burial   "When I'm Inside You"

    I snapped my eyes open, glaring at him through my swollen eyelid."You're being presumptuous," I rasped, my raw throat scraping over the words. "I never said that."Before I could draw another breath, Daniel’s hand shot out. His fingers clamped around my jaw like a steel vise, wrenching my face up, and his palm came cracking across my cheek.The slap echoed through the room. My head snapped sideways, the leather straps biting into my wrists as the skin on my face burned."Shut your fucking mouth," Daniel hissed, leaning down until his eyes were inches from mine, his fingers digging into my jaw so hard I felt my teeth press into the inside of my lip. "You don't get a say anymore. You've been making bad decisions lately, Celene. Constant, stupid decisions. So your chances are done."He let go of my chin with a shove, turning toward a small table at the side of the room where a black garment bag lay folded."Now you're going to shut up and let me finish," he said, pulling a long zipper d

  • Married At My Ex Husband's Burial   We're Getting Married

    Leather straps bit into my wrists, holding my hands pinned flat above my head. I blinked against the harsh bulb overhead, but my left eye was swollen completely shut. I tried to pull my legs together, but my ankles were strapped far apart to the footboard. My throat burned like fire from the seatbelt. My stomach was a mass of dark, tender bruises that made every breath hurt. I looked down at myself. My torn dress was gone. He had put me in a thin, sheer nightgown that stopped way above my knees, leaving my legs fully exposed. My right thigh was covered in ugly purple blotches from his boots. But when I looked at my left leg—the one that had snapped when I hit the road—my heart stopped. The skin looked smooth. No cuts. No bruises. No mud. The bone inside was still throbbing with a sharp, sickening pain, but the outside looked completely unharmed. A quiet scraping sound came from the end of the bed. I forced my head up. Daniel was sitting on a wooden stool right between my legs. O

  • Married At My Ex Husband's Burial   I Love You, Celene

    He balled his fist into my hair and yanked my head back so hard my neck popped, forcing me to look up into his dark, unhinged eyes. "I love you, Celene," he hissed, his face inches from mine, his hot, sour breath hitting my skin. "Don't you get it? Everything I do is for you. You just need to come with me and see how much I love you. I have something planned for us. Something perfect." "Fuck... you..." I choked out through my teeth, tears blurring the sight of his twisted smile. "No..." "You don't get a choice!" He dragged me by my hair, my useless, broken leg scraping through the sharp gravel and cold mud as I screamed, wailing into the empty night. I clawed at his wrist, trying to tear his fingers out of my roots, but my grip was too weak, my body too broken. "Let me go! Help! Somebody help me!" "Shut the fuck up!" When we reached the cab, he slammed my head against the rear fender, making the dark world spin violently. I dropped onto the wet asphalt, barely able to lift my ar

  • Married At My Ex Husband's Burial   Kicked Till I Die

    The tires squealed as Daniel slammed his foot on the accelerator. The taxi jerked forward, throwing me against the passenger door as the engine roared. The rough road shook beneath us, and the trees outside turned into a dark blur. I grabbed the central console to steady myself, my heart pounding as Daniel drove faster. "Hey! Stop the fucking car!" I screamed. "Let me out! Daniel, stop!" He didn't even look back. He only laughed, throwing his head back for a moment before turning his eyes to the road again. The sound of it made my stomach twist. When he glanced at me through the rearview mirror, he looked almost pleased by the fear on my face. "Look at you," he said. "Screaming like a helpless little pet. Where's your big, scary protector now, Celene? Did Cole forget to put you on a leash tonight?" "Fuck you! Let me out!" I pulled at the door handle again, but the lock didn't move. I tried harder, panic rising as the taxi continued speeding down the empty road. "Keep pullin

  • Married At My Ex Husband's Burial   Could This Day Get Any Worse??

    I stared at Councillor Stephen....or what was left of him...A dark hole sat perfectlt between his eyes, his head thrown back from the force. His jaw hung open, and for a few seconds, his body twitched like he was shocked by electricity, before going completely limp. The heavy wooden chair tipped over with him and crashed onto the floor."Fucking hell!!!!" I couldn't eaven Hear the scream that left my throat...I dropped the gun and stumbled backward until my back hit the doorframe. My hands flew to my head as I stared at Stephen's body, unable to look away. The image was burned into my mind. The blood. The hole in his head. The way his body had moved before going still.Cole was in front of me almost immediately, his hands gripping my shoulders. His lips were moving, but I couldn't hear what he was saying at first."Celene. Look at me. Celene, look at me."His voice slowly reached me through the ringing."Calm down. Breathe. Calm the fuck down."I couldn't breathe. I kept screaming un
