“How dare you!” The words came out of my mouth with a scream. My chest heaved rapidly as I stared at him, watching the last pieces of my pride fall apart at his feet. “How dare you say that to me?”

He was breaking me apart, piece by piece. He was taking away every small bit of happiness I had left in this prison he called our marriage.

“You and I both know I was telling the truth, honey,” he said with a smile that sent a chill down my spine.

“You are ugly. You are worthless. You should be grateful—no, you should feel blessed—that I chose to marry you.” His eyes looked at my body like I was already dead. I felt myself shrinking under his disgusted stare. “If I hadn’t done that—”

“If you hadn’t done what!”

My voice cracked as I screamed. I was desperate and terrified. I couldn’t let him finish that sentence. I couldn’t bear to hear whatever horrible thing he was about to say.

“No one wants an ugly woman as a wife,” he spat back at me with venom in his voice. “Remember this in you

    Azalea“Is this really you?” I whispered, still not believing what I was seeing. “Are you really Adriano?”He laughed softly, but it made him wince from the pain in his chest. “Who else would I be?”“But you’re so... different. You’re being nice to me. Gentle. The Adriano I knew before would never act like this.”“The Adriano you knew before was an idiot,” he interrupted quietly. “A man so caught up in his pride and anger that he almost lost the most important thing in his life.”He lifted his hand and gently touched my cheek, wiping away a tear I didn’t even know had fallen.“When I saw that gun pointed at you,” he continued, his voice rough with emotion, “when I thought I might lose you forever, everything became clear. Nothing else matters, not my reputation, not my business, not even my own life. Nothing matters except you.”“Adriano...” I whispered, overwhelmed by how sincere he sounded.“I know I’ve done terrible things,” he said, regret filling his voice. “I know I’ve hurt you

    Azalea“No!” I cried, dropping to my knees beside Adriano’s bleeding body. “Why did you do that? Why did you take that bullet for me?”Despite the pain and the blood spreading across his white shirt, he managed to give me a weak smile. “Because,” he whispered, his voice barely audible, “I love you more than my own life.”“You stupid fool!” Leo screamed in pure rage. “You ruined my perfect plan! I wanted you to watch her die slowly, not jump in front of bullets like some hero!”But Leo’s angry words felt like distant noise. All I could focus on was the man bleeding in my arms, the man who had just proven that even someone called “the devil” could do something completely selfless for love.“Stay with me,” I whispered desperately, pressing my hands hard against his wound to try to stop the bleeding. “Please don’t leave me now. Not when I’m finally starting to understand what I really mean to you.”Adriano’s hand slowly reached up to touch my face, leaving a streak of his blood on my chee

    Azalea“Who are you?” Chiara demanded, her voice shaking but trying to sound brave. “Show yourself right now!”The way she was trying to act tough almost made me want to laugh, but nothing about this terrifying situation was funny.“Answer me—” Before she could finish her demand, another gunshot exploded through the air.“Ahh!” I screamed, curling myself into a tight ball on the cold floor. The room was completely dark, and we couldn’t see who was shooting at us.“The devil,” a cold, familiar voice replied from somewhere in the shadows. “And I’m here to take your life.”Another gunshot rang out, followed by the heavy sound of bodies hitting the floor. Then suddenly, bright lights flooded the room, and I could see him clearly.My heart stopped.Standing there like a nightmare come to life was the man who had haunted my dreams for an entire year. The man I had tried so desperately to escape from. The only man I knew who could kill without even blinking. The same man I had stolen from.A

    AzaleaThe hatred in Chiara’s eyes was real and terrifying. In that moment, I realized with growing horror that she wasn’t here to rescue me. She was here because she saw me as a threat to her relationship with Leo.She had no idea what kind of monster she was engaged to.“Tell me,” she snapped, her voice rising as she grabbed the hem of my dress. “Why should I believe a single word that comes out of your lying mouth, bitch?”“Please, Chiara, just listen to me,” I begged, trying to stay calm. “Leo is not who you think he is. He’s a monster. He kidnapped me and threatened to hurt my sister if I didn’t cooperate.”“You expect me to believe that?” she yelled, pushing me hard against the wall. Her eyes were filled with rage as she glared at me. “You’re just making excuses because you got caught!”I could see the pain behind her anger. She really loved him, and she thought I had betrayed her.“I told you everything about him,” she continued, her voice breaking slightly. “I showed you his p

    AzaleaThe door clicked shut. I stayed frozen on the floor, with my knees pressed against the cold marble tiles and my arms hanging limp at my sides. My breathing came in shallow, uneven gasps.My entire body trembled, not from the chill in the air-conditioned room, but from the terror that had settled deep into my bones.Emily. Her family. Amira.His words echoed in my mind.Emily and her family died because of you.I pressed my hands against my chest, trying to hold my shattered heart together. I wanted to scream, to rage, to deny it all, but the sound died in my throat.Was it true? Had innocent people died simply because I existed? Because I’d somehow stumbled into Cassian’s—no, Leo’s—twisted game?I didn’t know how long I knelt there, lost in a storm of guilt and fear, but at some point, I dragged myself to the bed and curled into the smallest shape I could make. I clutched a pillow against me like it could shield me from the memories clawing their way in.Leo had lied about every

    Azalea“Consider yourself lucky, honey,” he beamed. He was still talking to me when someone knocked on the door.“Come in,” he called, instantly switching back to his composed businessman persona.“Mr. Caelian,” a man in a white coat said as he entered. A doctor.“Come here,” Cassian commanded me.When I didn’t move, he added, “I guess my previous punishment wasn’t clear enough.”The threat in his voice made me scramble to my feet and move to his side. He sat on the edge of the bed and patted the space next to him like I was a dog.“Good girl,” he said when I obeyed. “Sit.”“What are you still waiting for, Doctor Lucian? Attend to me now.”The doctor worked in silence, cleaning and bandaging the wound I’d given Cassian. I watched, wondering if I should feel guilty for hurting him. I didn’t.“I will take my leave, sir.”“Thank you, Dr. Lucian,” Cassian stated when the man finished. “I’ll call if I need anything else.”After the doctor left, the room fell into an oppressive silence. I f
