Denunciar
I thought my marriage was the end of me. Charles Donovan had it all: money, power, control and me, locked in his golden cage. On paper, I was the perfect wife. Behind closed doors, I was nothing but his property. One wild night, I broke. I slipped away into the city lights, into a stranger’s arms. He tasted like danger, kissed like sin, and made me feel alive again. I told myself it was one night. A mistake. But mistakes have consequences. Because that stranger Nathaniel Carter is the man my husband fears most. His enemy. His enemy. The billionaire vowed to destroy him. Now Nathaniel wants me again. Not just my body, but my dedication, my heart. And God help me… every touch, every stolen kiss pulls me deeper into the fire. But in a world built on deception, can I trust the man who wants payback against my husband? Or am I just another tool in his war? One thing is certain. The night I submitted to him wasn’t the end. It was the beginning. And the secret we share could burn us all.

ONE NIGHT TO BURN CHAPTER 44 The Woman Behind the Curtain
My mother was supposed to be dead. That was the truth I had lived with. That was the lie I had buried. That was the pain I had already lost. But now she was on my phone screen. Bound. Bruised. Breathing. Alive. My hand shook as I stared at the picture. My mind refused to accept it. My heart refused to let go of it. Every part of me felt like it was breaking and healing at the same time. “She’s real,” I whispered. “She’s not a memory. She’s not a ghost. She’s alive.” Nathaniel leaned closer, his jaw tight. “And she’s in danger.” “No,” I said, and my voice cracked. “She’s always been in danger. That’s what this is. That’s what all of it is.” He looked at me carefully now, as if I might break apart if he spoke too loudly. “Ava, listen to me. We need to slow this down and think. Charles is playing a game. This is a trap.” “It’s always a trap,” I snapped, then relaxed when I saw his face. “But I can’t ignore her. Not again. Not after hearing her voice.” He said my name softl

My heart knew before my mind did. Something inside me had already started to remember. Before the pictures came. Before the names formed. Before the truth dared to breathe. My heart was ahead of everything. I stood there, still holding the phone in my hand. The screen was dark now, but the message burned in my mind. That voice. That familiar breath between each word. That voice that I hadn’t heard in years, but somehow had never forgotten. “It can’t be you…” My lips shook. “It can’t be.” Nathaniel was standing in front of me. I could see the tightness in his jaw. His eyes were searching mine, like he was trying to hold me here, in the present, before I slipped too far into the past. “You heard it too,” I whispered. “Didn’t you?” His voice came out low. Careful. “I heard a woman’s voice. I didn’t want to assume anything.” A sharp laugh left me. Bitter. Shaking. “I don’t want to assume either. But my heart… it already knows.” I closed my eyes and suddenly, the memory hit.

The sound never came. I expected the gun to go off. I expected the sharp crack, the fall of a body, the sudden end of breath. But the sound never came. There was only a click. A cruel, empty click. And then quiet. Thick. Heavy. Impossible to breathe through. My grip tightened around his wrist. I did not think so. I did not plan. My body moved before my mind could catch up. Rage took control. Not the kind that destroys without thought. This was focused. Sharp. Cold. The kind that decides when to end something instead of when to explode. “You don’t get to touch her again,” I said through tight teeth. Charles fought, but the weakness in his hand revealed him. The gun slipped from his fingers. It hit the floor with a small, ugly sound. I almost wished it had fired. Almost wished it had ended him. But Ava’s voice echoed inside me. If you do, you become him. I would not become him. Behind Ava, another figure held a weapon at her head. I felt it without having to see it. A quiet

My hands would not stop shaking. The sound of my own breathing was too loud. It filled my ears. It filled my chest. The gun was still pointed at me. Steady. Cold. Certain. His finger wrapped around the trigger, ready, waiting, like it had all the time in the world. Nathaniel was on the ground beside me, blood spreading slowly across his sleeve. His jaw was tight. Pain lived in his eyes, but it did not break him. He did not beg. He did not look away. He looked at Charles with the kind of anger that burns without fire, the kind that never dies. Charles was breathing hard. Too hard. His chest rose and fell like he was fighting against something inside him. Madness. Fear. Maybe regret. But his eyes did not soften. “You should have stayed quiet,” he said. “You both should have listened.” I swallowed, but my throat was dry. My voice came out softer than I expected. “You don’t have to do this.” A pause. “You always say that,” he responded. “People say it right before they lose e

The first thing I remember is the sound. A gunshot. Sharp. Final. Terrifying. And then his body fell. “Nathaniel, stay with me. Please, please look at me.” My voice was shaking so hard I could barely hear myself. His blood was warm on my hands. Too warm. Too true. His eyes fluttered wit
ONE NIGHT TO BURN CHAPTER 34 - THE BREAKING POINT
The moment his finger tightened on the trigger, I felt my whole world tilt. I had one thought. Not her. Please, not her. Ava whispered my name with a shaking voice, and that small sound almost brought me to my knees. “Don’t move,” Charles warned. “You take one step, and this ends fast.” I c
ONE NIGHT TO BURN CHAPTER 33 - The Confrontation
I knew I had made a mistake the moment the door slammed behind me. I was not supposed to be here alone. But I walked inside anyway. Because Isabella was somewhere in this darkness. Because fear had already taken too much from me. Because running had become another way of death. And I refused
ONE NIGHT TO BURN CHAPTER 40 The Scars
They kept asking the same question, and each time, it hurt more. “Do you understand why you’re here?” “Yes,” I said for the third time. “I understand.” “Then tell us again. In your own words.” My hands were cold. Not from fear. From memory. From the memory of everything that had just happened.
