POV: Clara

The greenhouse smelled of damp earth and rot, a heavy scent that stuck to the back of my throat. It was supposed to be a sanctuary, a glass-walled escape from the marble and steel of the mansion, but even here the air felt thin.

I found my mother sitting on a stone bench, her hands folded neatly in her lap as she stared at a patch of drooping lilies. A few feet behind her stood one of Victor’s "security" guards, his face a blank mask of muscle and boredom.

"Mom," I breathed, stepping

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Safe Horizons

    Clara’s POV“Don't touch that lever, Nikolai, please!” I cried out, my hands trembling as I grabbed his massive arm to pull him back from the glowing navigation console.“He is running us straight out into the deep sea, Clara,” Nikolai growled, his knuckles turning entirely white as he stared down at the cluster of exposed wires beneath the metal casing. “If I do not disconnect the primary autopilot relay right now, we cross the international border line in less than half an hour.”“But you heard what he said through the ventilation system,” I reminded him, my voice shaking as I stepped closer to him in the cramped bridge cabin. “The entire console grid is rigged. If you try to force a manual turn back to the city harbor, the whole engine room block detonates instantly. He wants you to pull that lever. It is a trap.”Nikolai let out a sharp, frustrated breath, his shoulders dropping slightly as he pulled his hand away from the open panel. He looked down at the complex wiring, then out

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   The Floating Cage

    Nikolai’s POV“You really think a piece of iron can hold me forever, boy?” Victor’s voice buzzed through the small ventilation grille, sounding completely calm and hollow.I didn't answer him. I just stood there in the narrow, dimly lit corridor outside the locked engine room door, my bruised fingers gripping the handle of my automatic pistol. Every single muscle in my body felt like it was on fire. My ribs were severely bruised from the fight with Silas, and the deep cut across my forehead had finally stopped bleeding, leaving a sticky, cold crust down the side of my face.Through the thick glass of the porthole window at the end of the hall, the first pale rays of dawn were finally breaking over the endless gray water. The dark warehouse docks were completely gone, replaced by an open, empty horizon. The twin diesel engines beneath my feet kept up a low, rhythmic vibration that made the metal floorboards shake constantly.“I know you can hear me, Nikolai,” Victor continued, his voi

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Feral Adrenaline

    Clara’s POV“If you fire that gun, Nikolai, we all go down together!” Victor shouted, his voice cracking into a manic shriek over the deafening mechanical roar of the automated foghorns.“Then let’s go down!” Nikolai roared back.Before Victor could even twitch his finger on the silver trigger pressed against my ribs, a massive, grinding metallic crash ripped through the entire eastern dock. From the high platform, a heavy industrial forklift plunged straight forward through the darkness, ramming directly into the main mooring posts of the pier. The impact was cataclysmic. The thick woven steel cables securing the *Novarion* snapped one by one with explosive, whip-like cracks. Henry had used his absolute last ounce of strength to crush the harbor ties.The entire luxury yacht violently lurched sideways, pulling away from the stone concrete dock with a sickening shudder.The unexpected movement threw Victor completely off balance. His grip on my hair ripped free, and his silver revolve

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Tabula Rasa

    Nikolai’s POV“Take one more step and I will personally put a bullet through her skull!” Silas yelled from the upper deck, his voice barely cutting through the absolute roar of the automated foghorns.I didn't take a step. I took a leap.I breached the main deck of the *Novarion* just as Victor’s heavy hand struck Clara across her face. The sickening, dull sound of his palm connecting with her jaw echoed directly in my ears. The sight of her flying backward onto the teak floor made something click inside my brain instantly. Every single remnant of my civilized, restrained self evaporated into thin air. I didn't see an empire, I didn't see a legacy, and I didn't see a plan. I only saw blood.Silas was guarding the main cabin door with his weapon raised, but he wasn't fast enough. I tackled him around the waist, the sheer momentum of my body driving both of us directly onto the hard deck.“You son of a bitch!” Silas gasped, his breath knocked completely out of his lungs as we hit the fl

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   The Price Of Legacy

    Clara’s POV“Get up on your feet right now before I split your skull open!” Victor roared, his voice cracking with absolute rage as the deafening blare of the shipyard foghorns continued to rattle the warehouse walls.The calm, calculated composure he always carried was completely gone. He reached down and grabbed a fistful of my heavy jacket, violently yanking me up from the wet concrete gravel. I squeezed my eyes shut as the blaring horns pierced through my ears, making my head spin. Before I could find my footing, Victor dragged me roughly across the wooden gangway and onto the pristine, open teak deck of his luxury yacht, the *Novarion*. The massive vessel was docked right against the primary warehouse wall, swaying slightly against the black water.“Let me go!” I screamed, hitting his arm with my fists, but his grip was like an iron vice. “You can't get away with this, Victor! The entire police department will be down here!”“The police belong to me, you stupid girl!” Victor sho

  • Sinfully His: Craving The Devil's Son   Sound of Chaos

    Nikolai’s POV“Move your feet, you useless piece of meat!” a gruff voice barked from around the corner of the rusted containers.I didn't answer him with words. As I sprinted through the labyrinth of massive metal crates, my old leg injury flared up like a hot poker digging straight into my thigh, but the surging adrenaline completely numbed the agonizing pain. I rounded the rusted corner of the container and slammed into Victor’s perimeter guard before he could even raise his rifle.*Pfft. Pfft.*Two muffled, heavy cracks echoed out from the custom silencer Marcus gave me last month. The guard stiffened instantly, his eyes rolling back as the two bullets caught him right in the center of his chest. I caught his dead weight before his boots could scrape against the wet gravel, sliding his limp body silently into the dark gap between two massive iron crates. That was the third perimeter guard down in less than two minutes.“Report in, Level Two,” a voice crackled over the dead man's ra

    POV: Nikolai The beach at six in the morning was grey and flat, the tide pulling back from the sand in long, slow sheets.Victor walked ahead, hands behind his back, talking. Quinn kept pace beside him, nodding at the right intervals. I walked a half step behind them both, which was where Victor p
