petal's pov

As we sat at the dimly lit café, laughing over jokes that were more about escaping reality than actually being funny, a sudden shift in the atmosphere pulled the air straight out of my lungs. I froze, the ceramic cup of hot coffee poised at my lips. A chilling presence loomed beside our table, drawing my gaze upward—and there he was.

Sebastian.

Tall, imposing, and dressed in a black suit that clung to his sculpted frame like it had been stitched onto him by the devil himself. The sight of him was enough to make the world still. His stormy grey eyes, darkened by something more than just anger, locked onto Lucas’s hand wrapped around my wrist. No words left his mouth—but he didn’t need to speak. His silence was louder than a thunderstorm. It screamed danger. It screamed mine.

The fury rolling off him was so intense, I could practically feel the heat radiating from his body. My pulse quickened, my chest rising and falling faster than it should have. Something primal flared be

    Author's pov“Either you agree to wait three months or you forget about the marriage altogether,” Max said coldly. “Even if it hurts my daughter, I don’t care. My decision is final.” His voice echoed in the quiet room, each syllable landing like a hammer on stone.Silence stretched between them like a drawn bow, taut and ready to snap.Petal’s heart thumped painfully inside her chest. It felt like a bird trapped in a cage, fluttering helplessly. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. She couldn’t speak. She didn’t dare. Every word felt like a gamble, and she was terrified of losing everything—Sebastian, her family’s already fragile approval, and the delicate balance she was struggling to maintain.Sebastian stood tall, but the rigidity of his shoulders revealed his inner turmoil. He clenched his jaw tightly, his fists curled by his side. The fury in his chest burned hot, scorching every inch of patience he had. He hated being controlled, hated being told what to do. He was a

    author's pov“Did he threaten you? Is Sebastian blackmailing you to say all these?” Max’s voice sliced through the silence like a knife. His eyes were pinned on his daughter, Petal, searching for any flicker of fear, any hesitation, any sign that she wasn’t speaking her truth.Petal froze. The weight of her father’s question settled heavily on her chest. She had braced herself for this moment, knowing that facing her father wouldn’t be easy. But hearing the pain, the suspicion, and the protectiveness in his voice shattered something inside her. Max had always been able to read her like an open book. She was his little girl, the apple of his eye, the daughter he had protected from every scratch and every sorrow.But now… now she was hiding something from him. Something big.She blinked rapidly, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill. She couldn’t tell him the truth. She couldn’t say that Sebastian had backed her into a corner. That his love—obsessive and overwhelming—wa

    Author's POV“PETAL, DOWNSTAIRS NOW!”The words struck her like a jolt. Her breath caught in her throat. Her body remained frozen for a moment. But then, as though on autopilot, she stood up, her knees trembling beneath her weight. She slowly walked toward the door, each step heavier than the last. Her fingers wrapped around the doorknob, cold and stiff. She turned it, and the door creaked open.The hallway stretched long and quiet. Her footsteps echoed softly against the tiles as she descended the stairs, her heart a mess of fear, resentment, and confusion. Her father’s voice still lingered in the air, and her mother's silence haunted her more than any words could.The room was too quiet—too still for a house that once echoed with Petal’s giggles. Penelope sat beside Max on the couch, her fingers gripping the edge of her dressi while her eyes anxiously stared at the staircase. Sebastian stood near the window, arms crossed, his jaw clenched tighter with each passing second. The wait w

    author's povThe living room was filled with a heavy silence, the kind that settles when truth threatens comfort. The clock on the wall ticked steadily, an unwelcome reminder of the moments slipping away, each one more tense than the last.Max sat on the sofa beside Penelope, his posture upright but not aggressive. A mug of untouched coffee sat in his hands, its steam long gone cold. Beside him, Penelope cupped her own mug tightly, as though holding onto it kept her grounded.Sebastian sat across from them, his expression calm, composed, but undeniably tense. His fingers were laced together, resting on his knee, but his knuckles were slightly white from the pressure. He wasn’t just facing two concerned parents — he was facing the people who had treated him like their own, like family. This wasn’t just about love anymore — it was about trust, values, and lifelong bonds."You two have a decade age gap, you know that, right?" Max asked quietly, though his voice held a firm edge.Sebastia

    Author's POV As the car engine hummed to life, a heavy silence filled the space between them—not awkward, but dense, like the sky before a thunderstorm. Neither of them spoke. There was too much unsaid, too much hanging between them like invisible threads tugging at their hearts. Petal turned her face toward the window, her cheek resting against the cold glass. The city lights blurred into streaks of neon against the dusk. The soft golden glow of the sun was sinking, swallowed by the darkening horizon. Cars honked in the distance, and people rushed down the sidewalks, laughing, shouting, living. But inside that sleek black car, it was silent. Still. In her lap, she held the one top she had chosen herself—a soft lavender piece that made her feel slightly more confident than usual. She’d clutched it tightly, not just because it was new, but because it felt like the only thing she had picked for herself in a day where Sebastian had otherwise decided everything. Beside her, Sebasti

    The mall buzzed with soft music and a sea of customers drifting from aisle to aisle. Bright lights bounced off polished floors, and mannequins in the latest fashion stared out from tall glass windows. Petal walked beside Sebastian, quiet and composed, her eyes occasionally scanning the lively surroundings. She wasn’t used to such extravagant places, nor did she care for them. She was more of a simple bookstore-and-chai-stall type of girl.They reached the women’s section, filled with colorful tops, dresses, jeans, and accessories. Sebastian halted and gestured grandly, “Go and take whatever you want.”Petal blinked at him, a little surprised by the freedom and generosity in his tone. She nodded slightly and walked toward the racks of tops. Her movements were quick, purposeful—unlike the usual image of girls who spent hours choosing between styles and colors. She picked a soft pink top, simple and comfortable, and without wasting time, made her way to the changing rooms.Inside, she ge

    Sinful Possession Scene“Few hours ago…”Sebastian’s voice was calm but held an unmistakable authority when he answered the phone. “Sis, this is Sebastian,” he said. His voice sent a ripple of panic through Petal’s mother as she recognized it was not her daughter speaking. Her first instinct was alarm. “Sebastian, where’s Petal? Why are you informing me?” she asked with growing concern.Sebastian, who had the phone in his hand, glanced toward the room where Petal was. She was with him, yes—but not out of her own free will. “Don’t worry, sis. Petal is safe with me,” he half-lied smoothly. “She was afraid you’d scold her for coming home late, so I called you from her phone to ease your worry.” His voice remained polite, even soft, but it was layered with deceit.The truth was far more complicated. Petal was indeed at his house, but not by choice. She had been picked up without warning, manipulated into a situation she couldn’t control. But Sebastian, always composed and prepared, handle

    Author's POVPetal stepped out of the bathroom, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders, skin still flushed from the warmth of the shower. The oversized shirt she wore—his shirt—clung loosely to her slender form, the fabric falling just above her knees. She clutched the collar close to her throat, almost as if trying to preserve whatever little modesty she still felt in front of him.Sebastian stood by the window, his tall frame leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed, but tension roiled under the surface. He was gazing outside, seemingly deep in thought, but the soft creak of the bathroom door snapped him back to reality. His head turned slowly. And there she was.His eyes swept over her figure, dark desire flickering through his intense gaze. "There she is... looking all sexy in my shirt," he thought inwardly. But as his eyes drifted from her bare legs to the faint bruises on her cheeks, a wave of something bitter and ugly welled inside him—guilt. The bruises screamed at

    author's povBefore she could stop herself, her lips moved."I don’t love you," she said flatly, almost as if she was speaking to herself. The words slipped out, raw and honest, slicing the tense air between them.For a brief moment, there was silence. Sebastian's dark eyes narrowed, not in rage, but in something far heavier — a brewing storm he was trying desperately to control.He let out a low breath through his nose, clenching his jaw.“Soon, baby, soon you will also love me. Don't ever say this again," he said, his voice carrying a sharp warning beneath its softness. There was irritation in his tone, but it was laced with restraint. He was trying—really trying—not to let his temper loose on her, not now.He turned his face slightly, as if trying to calm the boiling emotions within him."Just because you are going to marry me," he continued, voice firm, "doesn't mean you will stay like this forever—scared and traumatized."His words were rough but held a strange kind of concern, a
