LOGAN’S POV

The taxi advanced down the highway illuminated by the yellow headlights, moving away from the aristocratic and suffocating heaviness of the Bayron property.

I remained leaned back against the synthetic leather back seat, with a big smile of triumph drawn on my lips.

I let out a low hiss, shaking my head as I recalled the face of the oldest of the Bayron brothers. How I hated that bastard Frederick Bayron!

"What an idiot," I muttered to myself, clenching my fists over my knees. "He t

    Frederick took me into his arms effortlessly, lifting me from the floor while his lips never stopped searching for mine in the middle of the hallway's gloom. He climbed the grand staircase with firm steps, and we entered the main suite of the west wing.The oak door closed behind us with a dull impact.Frederick deposited me onto the immense king-sized bed with an overwhelming delicacy, contrasting with the fury of his figure. He positioned himself over my body, resting his weight on his elbows so as not to crush me, looking into my eyes with an almost religious devotion."Tonight there will be no rush, no contracts, no violence, my little mouse," he promised me in a raspy whisper, passing his thumbs over my cheekbones. "Tonight you are my king."His hands descended with agonizing slowness down my chest, outlining every rib, moving down my tense abdomen until reaching the waistband of my fabric pants. He undressed me with a calculated pause, appre

    LUKE’S POVThe drive back to the mansion after my conversation with Riley and Steven on campus was a hell.My classmates' words echoed in my ears with an unbearable frequency: Richard's absolute bankruptcy, Marcus's execution, the Bianchis' destroyed containers, and the image of an unhinged Frederick, consumed by paranoia and alcohol solely because I had evaporated from his side.Upon crossing the property's gate, I went straight up to the east wing bedroom, attempting to turn off my head.I took a long bath, feeling the hot water slide down my tired skin, but the image of his haggard face and his eyes flooded with tears as he got on his knees in front of me couldn't be erased from my mind.At two in the morning, insomnia defeated me completely. The bedroom felt way too big, freezing and suffocating at the same time. I needed a glass of water.I put on a light fabric pair of pants, left my torso bare, and walked down the grand stone staircase barefoot. As I passed in front of the west

    I knew he was a dangerous and obsessive man, but laying waste to his own family and destroying an entire empire solely out of the heartbreak of having lost me surpassed any limit I had studied in law books."He... he never told me any of that when I returned to the mansion," I murmured, my voice coming out somewhat raspy."Because he is terrified that you will leave again, Luke," Riley sentenced with coldness. "That guy destroyed all his enemies, but when he realized that you had your scholarship ruined and that you were living in misery because of his fault, he collapsed. He stopped the violence all at once, withdrew the thugs from the dock, and signed the donations for the workers without asking for anything in return.""It was goddamn strange seeing the untouchable Frederick Bayron act like a broken man," Steven added. "He was haggard. Everyone thought he was going to commit suicide or end up in federal prison."A heavy silence settled in the middle of the hallway.The information

    "I am not leaving at the end of this week," I revealed to him, crossing my arms. "I will stay a full month in the east wing while I reorganize my subjects at the faculty."Upon hearing my words, Frederick's face underwent a radical transformation.The rigidity of his features crumbled completely, giving way to a glimmer of contained, almost desperate emotion.His pupils lit up with a pure warmth I had never seen in his years as a tyrant."A month...?" he repeated, his chest rising all at once from the agitation. "You are staying a whole month in the mansion, little bird?""A month," I reiterated, marking each syllable firmly so he wouldn't form false illusions. "With the same rules: you are not going to cross the hallway to my room, there will be no armed guards in the pavilion, and you are going to keep your hands off my clothes. If you break a single clause, I take my things and you never see my face again in your life.""I accept every single one of your conditions, Luke," Frederic

    LUKE'S POV I walked in silence down the east wing hallway, holding the readmission sheet against my chest.It was impossible not to notice the difference.The mansion no longer smelled of cheap whiskey nor the suffocating plague of fear.The armed men who used to guard my bedroom door had completely disappeared.The staff treated me with an almost religious respect, without sideways glances or whispers in the corners.And Frederick... Frederick had transformed into a cautious stranger.He didn't come closer than a meter from me.He didn't raise his voice. He didn't use the imperative tone that used to echo off the walls when he ran customs.Seeing him appear barefoot on the stairs, haggard, bare-chested, and eyes flooded with tears begging for forgiveness on his knees, had opened a dangerous fissure in the armor of rancor I built during my escape at the fishing dock.His vulnerability was real.There was no trace of the arrogant monster who forced me to sign the marriage agreement.A

    I returned to the southern mansion at two in the afternoon.I carried in my hand the official envelope from the rectorate with the gold seal of the university campus.I crossed the deserted lobby, climbed the stone staircase at slow steps, and stopped in front of the door of the room at the back of the east wing.I knocked on the wood twice with my knuckles, maintaining my distance.*Knock, knock!*"Who is it?" Luke's voice asked from the interior, coming out dry, distant."It's me, Luke," I responded from the hallway, without attempting to turn the door handle. "I bring an official document that a university messenger just delivered."The door opened a couple of inches.Luke appeared at the threshold, wearing a simple cotton shirt.He looked tired, but the paleness of his cheeks had diminished a bit thanks to the food Elena had prepared for him in the morning.He looked at the envelope in my hand with evident distrust."A document from the university?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.

    LUKE’S POV1 hour laterI sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing the ring on my middle finger. The damn blue diamond seemed to mock me with every flash under the white ceiling light. I felt a constant pressure, a kind of imaginary electrical hum that reminded me every second that I belonged to the Bay

    I stood there, in the center of the Grand Hall, my ears ringing. The revelation of Rusty and Frederick as my new stepbrothers had left me in a state of numb shock.Every fiber of my being screamed at me to run, to go back to our small, dilapidated apartment, but my feet were pinned to the marble."

    Through the window of the armored car, the outside world seemed to fade away, replaced by a private road flanked by ancient oaks that closed over us like the claws of a giant.When the vehicle finally came to a halt, the air escaped my lungs.It wasn't a house. It wasn't even a mansion. It was a mo
