Stranded with Five Dangerous Men 43. Nightmare
Fiora jolted awake, her body jerking violently.Her eyes flew wide open in the darkness, breath coming in short, ragged gasps."…huh… huh…"Cold sweat drenched her neck and back, her chest heaving rapidly. The memory of Darius’s face from the dream remained vivid, terrifyingly clear—those glowing red eyes, the rough pressure against her lips, the low timbre of his voice, all felt achingly real.Trembling, she scrambled out of bed and hurried to the door. Her hand reached for the handle and pulled.And… CLICK.Ah, thank goodness. It was still locked.She let out a long, shaky breath of relief, leaning back against the door. "It was just a dream…" she whispered to herself.Yet her body still trembled, for it had felt far too real. She could still recall the weight of him holding her down atop the mattress. She wrapped her arms around herself. "Why… did I dream something like that?"Was it because of Riven’s words earlier? Or was it because she was truly beginning to fear the resonance

Fiora frowned deeply at Riven. "What do you mean… it hasn’t fully gone away?"Riven twirled a small screwdriver between his fingers and hopped casually down from the table."This resonance isn’t some ordinary sickness," he said lightly. "Once our bodies recognized you as the ‘core’, our minds never forgot it.""The core…?" Fiora whispered."Mm." Riven’s smile was thin. "More or less like an addiction."The air in the room shifted, growing heavy. Darius, who had been repairing the support beam, stopped abruptly. Zephyr glanced over from the window. Elyon sighed, as if he disliked Riven laying everything so bare.Fiora twisted the hem of her shirt. "So that means… you could still lose control again?""Absolutely," Riven answered without hesitation.Elyon shot him a sharp look. "Riven.""What? She deserves to know." He shrugged. "The difference is—now we can still think clearly." His blue gaze dropped to her hands. "But the deeper the emotional or physical bond between us… the deeper

l"Why didn’t Elyon heal your wound?"Fiora’s voice was soft in the mansion’s main hall, still strewn with debris. She sat beside Vael on a long sofa near the fireplace, while the other four continued clearing the wreckage. An open medical kit rested on a small table, and Fiora tended to his hand with a solemn, focused expression.Her fingers moved gently as she wiped away dried blood, her brow furrowing at the sight of the deep gash across his knuckles. "This nearly cut straight through to the tendons…" she murmured.Vael had been watching her in silence all this time. The dim light softened the glow of her curly red hair. The way she looked after him felt achingly familiar—painful, yet somehow calming."I refused it," Vael answered finally, his tone as even as ever. "I prefer my body heals on its own, rather than relying on Elyon’s power."He spoke as though such an injury meant nothing at all. But Fiora lifted her face to meet his gaze. "What really happened?" she asked quietly.
Stranded with Five Dangerous Men 40. A Glimmer of Hope
The scent of damp wood and the faint patter of rain were the first things to greet Fiora’s returning senses.Slowly, she opened her eyes and found herself staring up at the familiar ceiling of her bedroom. Her room… in the mansion. So… she wasn’t in the bunker anymore?Fiora blinked several times, breathing in slowly. Her head felt heavy, as though she’d just woken from a dream too long and too exhausting to bear. Yet strangely, her chest felt tight, as if something lingered just beneath the surface.Fragments remained—faint, yet undeniable. Vael’s embrace. Zephyr’s voice. That terrifying, all-consuming darkness. And…Fiora sat up abruptly. "Vael…!"Her breath came in short bursts as she glanced around the room. Everything looked normal. No bunker. No crumbling walls. No earthquake. Just her room, white curtains drifting gently in the breeze.She lifted a hand and touched her forehead. "Was it… all a dream?"But when her fingers brushed lightly over her lips, her heart began to r

Tears streamed down Fiora’s cheeks. She had never seen Vael like this—not the calm, collected man she had come to know, but someone on the very brink of shattering.Then, without warning, he pulled her back into his arms. Tighter this time, as if he meant to fuse their bodies into one."There are moments I wish we could all just die," Vael whispered hoarsely into her hair.Fiora’s body tensed instantly. She tried to pull away, but was helpless against his iron grip."If it all ended… this agony of being broken would end too, wouldn’t it?"Suddenly, the bunker floor began to shake. The overhead lights flickered wildly. Steel shelves rattled violently, sending their contents crashing to the ground.Fiora jolted in fear, looking around frantically before glancing up at him—and her breath caught in her throat.Vael’s body was changing. Thick, black veins like living cracks spread across his jaw and neck. His mismatched eyes blazed with an unnatural, terrifying light. And from deep withi

It was useless.No matter how carefully Vael had erased Fiora’s memories, little by little… she always found her way back to him. It was as though something deep within her soul refused to let him be forgotten.And that was the most dangerous part.The more Fiora remembered of her past, the closer they came to the terrible truth he had fought so hard to hide.Vael’s gaze drifted slowly over the girl before him—so small, so gentle, so utterly harmless in appearance. Did she even realize?That it was never only the men who were bound to her by resonance. The entire experiment on this island, the black rain itself, every last monster—all of it reacted to Fiora. Because she was the epicenter. She was the core of it all.And what terrified Vael most was that she didn’t yet fully grasp the enormity of it.As he stood lost in thought, Fiora frowned softly."Then… what did you mean earlier?" she asked, her voice trembling. "When you said I was your reason to keep living?"Vael offered no an
