LOGINCassian shattered her after one reckless night, leaving only memories and the echo of his touch. Now he wants her back into his world, to wear his name, and fight a war beside him. Three months ago, Aria Ravenwood walked in with pastries and dreams. She left with a broken heart, after finding the man she loved in bed with someone else, and not even with a woman. One betrayal. One party. One spiked drink that dragged her into the darkest night of her life… and into the arms of the cold, commanding and addictive Cassian Wolfe. They shared a single night; reckless, raw, unforgettable. By morning, he was gone. Now he’s back. Not with apologies, but a contract. One year. One marriage. No love. No lies. Only vengeance wrapped in silk and whispered promises. Aria says yes not for love, but for power. To reclaim what was stolen. To burn every bridge and make them all regret ever crossing her. But Cassian Wolfe isn’t just a weapon… he’s a storm. And every kiss, every touch, every look threatens to turn revenge into surrender. Because the real game isn’t survival. It’s learning how to win… When your heart is the first thing you’re willing to sacrifice.
View MoreAfter lunch and all the near-chaotic moments that had them choking and laughing, Cassian went back to his study. He didn’t go there because there was work waiting. He just needed to breathe, to put a wall between himself and the soft, flustered woman whose blush still clung to his thoughts like an aftertaste.The door shut behind him with a soft click. He dragged a hand down his face, exhaling slowly, and leaned back in his chair. For a while, he simply sat there, staring at the blank screen of his phone until the haze in his chest settled. Then he finally dialed a number.The doctor picked up almost immediately.“Dr. Levin.”“How’s Sienna?” he said, his voice calm, though his fingers drummed lightly against the armrest.There was a light rustle of paper on the other end before the doctor spoke again. “She’s fine. Her vitals are steady. The bruising hasn’t fully healed yet, but she’s alert and stable. No complications.”Cassian leaned back a little, his eyes half-closed. “Good. Keep h
~ARIA~I’d gotten tired of lying around since noon, so I decided to walk a little. I first went to the garden, but the blazing sun soon drove me back indoors, so I settled for the sunroom instead. And maybe because I hadn’t spent much time there lately, I didn’t notice the little changes that had been made; new drapes, and a softer scent in the air. I sat down, letting the breeze drift over me. I’d spent too much time at the office, hidden under air conditioning, and I’d forgotten how alive it felt to just breathe in open air.Maybe I’d suddenly turned into a workaholic like Cassian. Sienna even crowned it all. The thought of her made me reach for my phone again, trying to call, but it still went to voicemail. I sighed, dropped it beside me, and shut my eyes. I wasn’t going to stress much since Cassian had been there that night, and there was no way he could have saved me without saving her too.But a thought flashed in my mind: what if something bad had happened to Sienna before Cass
Cassian’s hands tightened on the wheel, his jaw locked as he drove toward the gate. Ellen Wolfe wasn't someone he couldn't handle but the least he wanted at that moment was something that would stir any kind of headache near the estate.On getting to the gate, his phone buzzed against the console. He tapped the button, putting it on speaker. Vaughn’s voice came through, sharp with background noise.“Are you driving?” he asked after a bit.Cassian didn’t answer. Vaughn sighed and continued. “I hope you haven’t gone too far if you’re on the road because Ellen rerouted. She’s headed to the family house, not the estate anymore.”Cassian, who had already started easing on the pedal at Vaughn’s question, felt the tension drop from his shoulders. His grip loosened, and he muttered an “alright” before ending the call.From the passenger seat, Ames let out a long breath, exaggerated like he’d been holding it the whole time. “Jesus, man. For a second there, I thought we’d both witness the apoca
When breakfast was over, Aria excused herself quietly, her steps fading down the hallway. Cassian waited until the sound of the door closing echoed faintly from upstairs before glancing at Ames, who was still seated, lazily stirring the last of his coffee.“You can drop the act now,” Cassian said, his tone low but steady.Ames smirked, leaning back in his chair. “What act? I was being charming. You should try it sometime.”Cassian ignored that, his gaze settling on the table for a second before he said, “If you’re going to examine her, do it properly. She’s barely recovered and I don’t want her stressed.”Ames hummed, setting his cup down and reaching for the small black notebook he’d brought with him. “Relax. I’m not new at this, Cassian. I’ll start with simple vitals, reflexes, and a few questions. Nothing invasive. You thought I’d pull out a needle at the breakfast table?”“That wouldn’t surprise me.”Ames laughed under his breath, flipping open the notebook. “You know, for someone
~CASSIAN~Aria lifted her glass of milk, took another sip, and returned to her pastry as if the phone call had been nothing. I knew better.Soon after, my phone began to ring on the desk beside me.She didn’t see the screen but from the quick, almost imperceptible glance she gave me when the sound
~ARIA~Sienna sat across from me, her fingers curled tightly around the napkin like it was the only thing anchoring her. Her smile was there, but it didn’t feel like hers anymore, not like the one I remember. It was stretched, uneasy, a little too forced to be real.I told myself it was because of
~CASSIAN~The bar was dim and low-ceilinged, with shelves lined with old books and dark bottles. The kind of place that looked like it had been around longer than the building it stood in. It smelled faintly of oak, old paper, and something spiced in the backroom I didn’t bother identifying.Somewh
~ARIA~The candidate sitting across from me had a résumé padded with buzzwords and a cologne that arrived three seconds before he did. He was halfway through explaining how he’d “streamlined several client-facing pivots” when my phone lit up beside the laptop.I ignored it.“For example,” he contin
