The room was too quiet after the kiss. My lips still stung, my chest still felt like it had been cracked open, and I hated that part of me wanted more.

Brandon had whispered something about showering, then disappeared into the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the silence, but my head was louder—too loud. I sat there in his sheets, heart racing, replaying the fire and glass of that kiss like it was stuck on loop.

That’s when my phone lit up.

Drake.

I groaned and grabbed it, thumb swiping before my brain even caught up.

“Where are you?” he demanded immediately, no hello, no pause. His voice was sharp, like he’d been pacing for hours.

I pinched my nose. “Don’t start, Drake.”

“You didn’t come back last night. You didn’t answer. You think that doesn’t matter? You think I don’t notice?”

“I told you not to worry about me,” I muttered, leaning back against the headboard. “You’re the older brother, remember? Maybe pay less attention for once.”

There was a pause, his breath hitting t

  • Rival's Contract Marriage    Chapter 182

    Brandon’s POVThe ropes burned into my wrists, tighter than before, my skin rubbed raw every time I twisted. My legs were sore from kicking, my throat dry from all the yelling earlier. And still, nothing. No way out. Just me, trapped like some animal, with shadows circling me again.The sound of boots scraped against the cracked concrete floor. I lifted my head, my breath ragged, hair plastered against my forehead with sweat. There they were—the same masked guys who’d been taunting me all day. The same faceless monsters.The one in front, the leader, tilted his head at me like I was some pathetic little bug. His voice dripped mockery.“Still breathing.”“Yeah,” I rasped, my voice shredded, but I forced a smirk anyway. “Sorry to disappoint. Guess choking me out earlier wasn’t enough for you clowns.”He crouched so his mask was level with my face. “Any last words?”I wanted to spit in his face, but my mouth was too dry. My lips cracked when I tried to form words, so I just clenched my j

    Drake’s POVI didn’t move for a long time. Just stood there in the silence, fists clenched so hard my nails dug crescents into my palms. He walked out. He always walked out. But I saw it in his face before he left—he wasn’t walking away from me. No. He was walking toward him.Brandon, you stupid bastard.That name burned like acid in my throat. Brandon had sunk his claws so deep into Cameron that every time I reached out, I only cut myself on his shadow. And the worst part? Cameron let him. Cameron chose him over me, every single time.I turned slowly, my eyes falling on the half-empty wine glass still sitting on the table. My hand twitched. I wanted to hurl it against the wall, watch it shatter into pieces, but I didn’t. Not yet. My anger wasn’t blind rage anymore—it was cold, sharp, like a knife.Unless Brandon disappeared completely from this world, Cameron would never belong to me. I understood that now. The connection between them—it wasn’t just attraction, it was chains. Invisib

    Brandon POvI woke up with a sharp sting in my wrists and a pounding headache that felt like someone was hammering inside my skull. My arms were tied behind me, the ropes biting into my skin, and the cold floor pressed against my back. I blinked against the dim light, taking in the room—dilapidated, empty, paint peeling off the walls, and the smell of damp concrete thick in the air.Masked figures stood around me, watching silently. I had been here before—more than once—and I knew the drill. This was a warning. This was intimidation. And they were good at it.I tried to move, but the ropes dug into my wrists. My jaw clenched. “You really think this will break me?” I hissed, voice hoarse.One of them stepped closer, knife glinting in the weak light. “Call your men,” he said, voice muffled behind the mask. “Tell them you’re withdrawing from the bidding. Or…” He pressed the blade lightly against my neck, a subtle but clear threat.I swallowed hard, my chest tightening. The bidding. My mi

    Cameron POvMy phone buzzed again, and I groaned, rubbing my temples. I already knew who it was before I even looked at the screen. Drake. Of course. Perfect timing, like he had a sixth sense for when I was about to do something reckless.I answered, voice clipped. “What do you want?”“Where are you going?” Drake’s voice was sharp, almost panicked. “Why are you leaving? Cameron, wait—I mean it. Don’t leave. Don’t do anything stupid!”I ran a hand down my face, trying to keep my composure. The knots in my stomach tightened. “I’m leaving because Brandon… isn’t answering. He’s missing, Drake. Something’s wrong.”“You mean he has nothing to do with you right now, right?” Drake snapped. “You can’t just go running off! You’re supposed to focus on the bidding! You—he—nothing! It’s not your problem anymore!”I clenched my jaw. The words stung, not because they were untrue, but because of how angry he sounded. I wanted to yell back, to tell him he didn’t understand, but I couldn’t. My throat t
