“It’s past midnight,” I didn't know I had been on the same position and staring at the ceiling all day, before his voice cuts through the silence, dragging me out of my trance.

I groan inwardly, dreading the thought of lifting my head. I don’t want to look at him, I don’t want to hear his voice, I want absolutely nothing to do with him. He can go back to meet Celeste.

“You should be in bed,” he says again, flatly.

I snap, my voice sharp. “If you’re here to monotone your way into breaking me, do yourself a favor and walk the fuck away. I have bigger problems than you.”

His eyes hardened. He steps forward, deliberately, planting one foot just inches from mine.

“You think you have problems?” he scoffs, low and dangerous. “You owe me more than you can repay. Just because I let you stay in my house and fuck around for free doesn’t mean I can’t snap your neck in a second.”

I shoot to my feet. My hands are trembling, and my shoulders shaking, but the fury rising in my chest drow

    RueAlessandro had sex with Celeste.Alessandro had sex with Celeste.Wait! he fucked his mistress while I was lying in a hospital bed?My husband fucked another woman while I was unconscious?I turn to Claire, and from the way her nose scrunches and her lips part in shock, I can tell she’s just as stunned.“This can’t be true,” she says, shaking her head slowly.I want to believe her. But I don’t know what to believe anymore.“It’s not true,” she repeats, firmer this time, like she’s trying to convince herself.“It could be.”“No. I know Alessandro. He’s not the kind of man to. . .”Her words die in her throat as the devil himself walks in.Alessandro.Luka follows silently behind him.Alessandro walks toward me and hands me three things, a bouquet of fresh flowers, a teddy bear, and a box of chocolates.My head is pounding, but I reach for them anyway, holding them gently in my arms. I hate that I still admire the gesture.The teddy bear is soft and impossibly cute, almost identical

    Alessandro’s POV Luka bursts through the door, striding into the office ahead of me. My heart races, pounding with a mix of fury and anticipation as I follow him inside. I step into his domain, where my father lifts his gaze from a mountain of papers, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes. “To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” he asks, arching his back with feigned nonchalance. “Good evening,” I reply, brushing aside his mind games. “Evening, son. How are you feeling?” “Annoyed,” I snap, ready to dive into the storm brewing between us. “Huh? Why?” He asks, I know he's waiting for me to bring up the topic, so I drag out the tension. “I want Celeste gone,” “Why?” He asks, He narrows his eyes on me, and I straighten my spine. “She is of no use to me.” “Alessandro, she's not a toy. She's a gift.” “One I don't want anymore.” “You can't tell me you don't want her as a gift. Every man wants her.” He says, locking his fingers. “I think I am quite fine without her.

    RueAlessandro Vanilli is not in love with me. That’s absolutely impossible.It is. It has to be.There’s no way he’s in love with me.I glance at Claire. She must be delusional. She doesn’t know what she’s saying.I chew on my bottom lip, trying to shove the thought away, bury it somewhere deep. I don’t want to entertain the idea of Alessandro having feelings for me, not even a little. Because I know it’s impossible. Absolutely, undeniably impossible. And I’m not about to raise my hopes for nothing.“Your father reached out,” Claire says, flipping through the mail scattered across her desk.Why people still send physical letters in this digital age is beyond me.“Oh. . .” I finally react, blinking.She looks up, her eyes meeting mine. “Why are you surprised?”“It’s nothing,” I say quickly.Aside from the fact that my father has never once tried to contact me since Alessandro took me in as his pet, there really isn’t any other reason to be shocked. He had erased me from his life so th

    Rue“Finally,” I breathe, letting out a moan as the nurse removes the last injection from my hand.Luka and Alessandro stand nearby, watching closely as I’m helped off the bed.“Do you think you can stand on your own?” Alessandro asks.I place both feet on the floor. To my surprise, I feel sturdy, strong, even.“Yeah,” I say, nodding. “I feel pretty good.”He gives a small, approving nod. “Walk toward me.”I obey, taking careful, measured steps until I reach him.The doctor clears his throat. “Her medications are listed on this prescription. Make sure she takes each one without missing a dose. If she does, the recovery might take longer, but if she follows it precisely, she should be fine within two or three days. The effects weren’t as intense as we initially feared.”Alessandro accepts the prescription and passes it to Luka without a word.I’m helped into a fresh outfit while Luka and the doctor wait outside. Moments later, we leave the cold, sterile walls of the hospital behind.As

    Rue’s POVLuka is the closest thing to normal in this place.I watch him as he strolls ahead, softly humming the lyrics to some obscure song. He always does that, choosing the most random melodies, like he’s trying to blend in with the background. But he never really does.I tap my stomach gently, and just like that, he turns.As always, he falls for the trick. Luka likes to pretend he’s detached, lost in his own world, when in reality, he notices everything. Every movement. Every breath. Every shift in energy.That’s what makes him different.Everyone else in this house is threatening in one way or another. You can tell they’re dangerous by the way they carry themselves, the way they look at you like you’re either prey or a problem. But not Luka. Luka is calm. Quiet. Calculated. And he hides it well. He gives off this effortless, harmless vibe.Like he’s easy to cross.But I know better.I sigh without meaning to.He removes one of his earpieces, his expression softening. “Are you al

    RueI stare at the door in silence. The doctor just lefty and before that they had been lecturing me about my healthy and foods to avoid for the meantime. How I am not supposed to strain myself, or stress myself out. I don't want to hear any of it. I just want to leave the four walls of this building.I hate hospitals. I hate the smell of drugs. I hate seeing the nurses in their blue and pink scrubs. I hate seeing doctors in scrubs.I don't hate them. I know they're humans, but I hate seeing them. It brings back horrible memories. It reminds me that hospitals are places people often walk in, and never walk out of.They help. They helped others, but they couldn't help me! They couldn't hold my mother down! They couldn't stop her from walking into the light, and leaving me in this hellhole.I just want to leave.“I want to leave,” I say to the nurse preparing my injections.She pauses, “You should be discharged by tomorrow.”“No. I want to leave now.”“Mrs Vanilli-”“Save it. I want to
