Chapter 7

ผู้เขียน: Velvet
The moment my assistant hurried forward, breathless.

“Don, our men saw Miss Aria boarding at the airport. They even took a photo!”

Cassian snatched the phone, glanced at the screen once, and then smashed it hard against the marble floor.

Cassian’s eyes were bloodshot, feral. When he spoke, every syllable scraped against bone:

“Lock down every exit route immediately. Air, land, sea...everything. I want every flight manifest, every border record, every security tape pulled now. I don’t care if you have to sweep the entire planet. Bring her back to me.”

Demi’s face went ghost-white.

Her father froze like prey under a predator’s shadow.

“D-Don p-please,” he stammered. “It...it wasn’t our fault. Aria refused to marry you...she insisted on signing the contract under Demi’s name. We had no choice. Demi is obedient, gentle… a perfect lady. She’s a far better match for you!”

Cassian turned his head slowly, a cold smile on his face.

“No choice? You think I, Cassian Vercetti, am something you can

    Smoke curled through the night as Lorenzo stepped forward, a half-smoked cigar dangling from his lips. He whistled low, amused. "Well, well, look at me doing actual mafia work now."Cassian drew his gun, aiming squarely at Lorenzo. "You dare approach her without my permission?"I immediately stepped in front of Lorenzo, shielding him. "If you ever loved me, let me leave with him!"Cassian froze, disbelief and inevitability warring in his gaze."You always defy me, Aria," he muttered.Funny, once he had ripped me from that club like a prize, and now he watched another man do the same."Yes," I said, voice steady. "We are like fire and ice, Cassian. Two worlds that can never collide.""Your refusal to check the security footage, to confirm anything with me… forcing me to apologize to the woman who humiliated my mother!""my disgrace, that’s your epitaph!""And when I saw you save Demi from the scalding water… that’s when I finally understood. I am not the love of your life."Cassian

    Cassian’s hand shot out and grabbed me.His voice was low, rough, trembling with a desperation he could no longer hide.“Aria, come home with me. I promise, no more rules. No more restrictions. No more dragging you to confession. I won’t hurt you again. I’ll change. I can change everything.”I pulled my hand free, calm as still water.“Cassian, your promises have never been worth anything.”His jaw tightened. He seized my wrist again.“Aria. Don’t do this.”Just then, another hand gripped my waist.He tugged me into his chest, his voice lazy, dripping with mockery.“Vercetti, weren’t you the one who always preached self‑control? Gentlemanly conduct? Putting hands on a lady like this… not a good look, is it?”Cassian froze.He stared at Lorenzo’s hand on my waist.At how naturally I leaned into him.At how my body fit against Lorenzo like it had always belonged there.“You dare touch her?!”Lorenzo smirked, pure provocation.“She’s on me because she wants to be. Not because I pulled her

    After the music festival, I made my way to the Casino.Night stretched like ink across the sky, and the casino shimmered with a golden glow, a labyrinth woven from money, desire, and ambition. Dice clattered, the air around the blackjack tables sucked in breaths like it could swallow souls, and the clash of chips echoed like a faint, omnipresent death drum.At one massive baccarat table, the crowd pressed in tighter than anywhere else.I wore a black velvet gown, slit up to my waist, the lights tracing every curve, drawing eyes like moths to flame.Another round of cards. I rested my chin on my palm, tapping the table lazily with my fingers, half-asleep, not even bothering to glance at the bottom cards.The dealer swallowed hard, voice trembling: “Player wins.”A mountain of chips was pushed toward me.Murmurs ran through the crowd.“She’s won seven hands in a row.”“This… isn’t an ordinary player.”I lifted my champagne glass, the bubbles popping softly against my lips. My father had

    Cassian didn’t even bother with a coat.He stormed down the marble staircase, jaw clenched, eyes bloodshot from a night without sleep. His car was already waiting outside, ready to take him straight to the Vercetti private airfield.He slid quickly into the backseat, and just as the car was about to pull away, Demi threw herself in front of it, hands pressed flat against the hood, mascara running down her cheeks.“Don, please!” she sobbed, her voice cracking. “I’ve waited for days. Just… just stop hurting the Vale family. Don’t punish us anymore…”The window slid down.Demi’s breath hitched, hope flickering alive for the first time in days.“Don,” she whispered, forcing a trembling smile, “you finally came around, didn’t you? I can talk to my sister. I can bring her back to...”He didn’t even look at her.His voice was a blade dragged slowly across steel.“Run over.”The driver didn’t hesitate and slammed the gas.Demi screamed and stumbled out of the way.The car shot forward, swallow

    The Vercetti wedding of the century unfolded exactly the way tradition demanded.A cathedral bursting with stained-glass light.Every influential name in the city gathered under one roof.“They’re a perfect match,” the guests whispered, dazzled.Tall. Immaculate. The kind of man carved for a dynasty.Cassian stood at the end of the aisle, expression carved from marble, gaze lowered toward the veiled bride waiting for him.And today, something in him eased.Because the bride stood there perfectly still, perfectly obedient.No rebellion. No sharp tongue. No Aria-style chaos.At last, he thought, she’d learned discipline.At last, she’d been shaped into what a Vercetti Donna should be.He was already planning the rest of her life—how he would sculpt her into his ideal, how he would polish every rough edge she had ever dared to show.The ceremony began.He felt her slight trembling beside him.For once, his voice softened, so quietly the guests couldn’t hear, but the bride could.“After to
