    The aftermath of the night was not a dawn, but a cold, suffocating gray that settled over the Volkov mansion.Victor sat behind his desk, the silence of his study usually a sanctuary, now a cage. He had showered, the scalding water scrubbing the blood and swear from his skin, but it couldn't wash away the memory of the way Serena’s hair had felt fisted in his hand. He was a man built on a foundation of absolute, frozen control. He had led men into massacres and brokered deals with devils without a single tremor in his pulse. Yet, in a dimly lit hallway, triggered by nothing more than the scent of a woman’s fear and the sight of her trembling lips and quivering chin, had ignited something so feral inside him that for the first time in his entire life, the foundation of his control cracked and shattered into tiny pieces for that moment.Victor was furious with himself. The anger was a low, steady thrum in his bones, a cold rage directed inward. How could he lose control like that, and

    The roar of the SUV engines fading into the distance left a silence so heavy it felt like it was pressing against Serena’s lungs. She stood in the center of the dimly lit study, the ghost of Victor’s pulse still thrumming against the pads of her fingers.She looked down at the desk. The discarded tissues, stained with his crimson blood, looked like macabre rose petals against the dark mahogany.You keep forgetting what I am.His voice echoed in her mind, a low, gravelly warning that made her skin prickle. She hadn't forgotten. How could she? She knew the weight of his name in the underworld. And yet, when she had held his wrist, he hadn't felt like a monster. He had felt like heat. Like solid, vibrating power. Like a man who was capable of bleeding.She walked out of the study, her footsteps sounding hollow on the marble. The mansion felt different now. The guards were no longer just statues; they were soldiers on high alert, their eyes darting to every shadow.She ran into Alexei nea

    The soft chirping of birds slowly pulled Serena from sleep.For a few seconds, she remained still beneath the blankets, staring at the ceiling while sleep faded from her body little by little. Sunlight filtered through the curtains in golden streaks, warming the massive bedroom.Quiet.Too quiet.Her brows furrowed slightly as she pushed herself up against the pillows. The other side of the bed was untouched. Thankfully.Serena swallowed and slowly glanced toward the couch; it was empty. Victor was gone.Of course he was.It felt a lot more peaceful in his absence. Because whenever he was near. There was constant pressure, and it felt like she was being watched all the time.Her eyes drifted to the side table, and she paused. The ointment tube sat neatly on the nightstand beside a glass of water. Right where he had left it.Her ankle no longer throbbed painfully. The swelling had reduced significantly overnight.He noticed her pain.Again.Her fingers curled slightly over the blanket.

    Get used to it?She glared at his back. Who was he to tell her to get used to things that she didn't want in her life? So cocky of him.And just because he married her, he didn't get the right to impose things on her as if he owned her. And the marriage wasn't a proper marriage to begin with. It was a treaty, a deal. That was it. And she was forced into it, and as much as she knows, he didn't want it in the first place either.She was zoned out, her gaze fixed on his arms as he folded his sleeves. "Seeing something interesting?" He asked, which brought her back to reality. She met his gaze as he jutted his chin towards his veiny arms that looked hot. She realized she was staring at his arms while zoned out."No," she said abruptly, averting her gaze."Liar," he said under his breath, but she heard it.Victor was aware she didn't want to sleep with him on the same bed, though he needed rest, but he had no intention of entertaining her with an argument throughout the night. Walking to t

    Her brows furrowed, and she glitched for a second. "Excuse me?" She said curtly."Excused." He said calmly, quietly eating his steak as if nothing had happened.Her lips parted at his audacity, and she glared at him."You're good at what precisely? And what's the provoking part?" She asked, her eyes narrowed and food long forgotten.Victor finally raised his eyes to meet her gaze. You just tasted the meat and made that sound, so you know what I'm good at, and I'm not bothering to answer the other question." He said plainly and began to eat his food again.She glared at him. But the delicious smell of the food didn't let her stay annoyed for long, as she grabbed her knife and fork and began eating the food. It was mind-blowing; she had never had such a tasty steak before. It was so delicious that she finished the whole plate and still eyed more meat.Victor was silently observing her. He didn't say much and ate his food. Once he was done, he waited for her to finish, and as she rested

    The sunrays of early morning were a cruel intrusion as they cut through the drapes of Victor's room.She groggily opened her eyes, breathing lightly. She moved a little, her eyes darting to the other side of the bed, which was empty, cold, and untouched. The mere reality that he didn't sleep with her on the same bed brought immense peace to her soul.She couldn't hear a single noise in the whole room except for her breathing.She cautiously tried to sit up and was successful in doing so, but a wince escaped her lips when a sharp pain shot from her ribs to her torso.Inhaling deeply, she got to her feet and ambled into the bathroom.She freshened up, took a warm, relaxing shower, pampered herself, and then wore a bathrobe as she stepped out.There was a knock on the door, and then it slowly opened to reveal two maids."We are here to change your bandages, madame. After that, we'll bring you your breakfast. What would you like to have for breakfast?""Whatever you guys make the best," Se
