"No..." she whispered..

Cassius had a satisfied smirk, his eyes taking her panic with delight.

"I tried so damn hard to hide it from you...but you're just as brilliant as you were back then. Always piecing the dark little details together. It was getting almost impossible to keep acting clueless around you."

He took a step forward, his shadow swallowing her.

"So tell me, Elara... you are going to keep your promise, aren't you? And don't even 'think' about trying to play smart games with me.

    Bang. Bang. Bang. "Elara!" A knock rattled the bedroom door, breaking the quiet morning. Elara groaned softly, burying her face into the soft pillows as she tried to drag herself back to sleep. Instantly, a muscular arm banded around her bare waist, hauling her against a scorching hot chest. "El! Are you dead in there?!" Patrick voice echoed through the door again, followed by another series of knocks. Elara’s eyes fluttered open, blinking against the morning light bleeding through the curtains. "Who the fuck is that loud bastard?" Killian sneered from beside her. His voice was rumble rough with sleep, his jaw resting against the crown of her head. "That's Patrick.." she whispered, rubbing her tired eyes. Killian gave her a flat deadpan look, his eyes half-lidded and entirely unamused. Without a word, he tightened his grip around her waist, dragging her even deeper into the messy sheets and burying his face into the crook of her neck. "The freak will leave when he gets tir

    "You are my Home, Elara.."Elara giggled...She reached behind him, kicking the apartment door shut and locking it..Killian’s grip tightened possessively. His eyes flared as he cupped her face, leaning down to kiss her lips...but Elara placed two fingers firmly over his mouth, stopping him mid-air."No... no.." she teased gently. "You smell like pure stress and exhaust, Killian. Go freshen up first.""Then come with me..." Killian rasped, his hands sliding down to her hips, "I miss you so fucking much, Elara. It’s driving me out of my mind... Why can't we just put a bullet in Cassius's head tonight and end this goddamn nightmare once and for all?""No, Killian.." Elara cut him off sternly, .. "We've talked about this–"Killian’s jaw clenched.. jealousy flooded his eyes."You seem awfully concerned with keeping him alive. Are you enjoying his company?"Elara’s eyes flashed with annoyance."What? Stop talking nonsense, Killian! I don't give a damn about him!" She took a breath, her fing

    "No..." she whispered.. Cassius had a satisfied smirk, his eyes taking her panic with delight. "I tried so damn hard to hide it from you...but you're just as brilliant as you were back then.

"So tell me, Elara... you are going to keep your promise, aren't you? And don't even 'think' about trying to play smart games with me." "I... I won't.." she stammered softly. For the first time since walking into this trap, a bone-chilling fear locked her limbs in place. "Good girl.." Cassius murmured, taking a step closer.. She took steps backward, but her heel caught the edge of the Persian rug and her balance gave out, her body tilting into a fall.. Before she could hit the floor, Cassius’s arm wrapped around her waist, yanking her body against his chest. "Careful..." he breathed against her ear, his cold breath brushi

    "Good. Then take care of her.." Elara said softly. "I brought her into your world so you could finally let her see you, the real you. Give her time, Sin. Let her see the man beneath the dark reputation, and she just might fall for you."Sin gulped, his fingers clutched Bridget’s file. He nodded slowly."Does Killian know you're in the building?" Sin asked, his eyes remaining glued to the folder in his hands."Your brother and I are officially divorced, Sin. He doesn't need to keep tabs on my every move anymore. Besides... I won't be coming back around here anytime soon."Sin lifted his head, his jaw clenching."Before you go... I need you to know that Kiel and I have Roman Sterling locked away. Killian doesn't know, and neither does Father. If either of those two gets a whiff of where he is, they’ll slaughter him before we extract a single useful word about Cassius."Elara rubbed her temples with a tired exhale. "Roman is a pawn, Sin. Trust me... he's entirely useless in the scheme."

    At the Vane Enterprise..Courtney walked down the hallway, a stack of leather-bound files clutched tightly against her ribs and her phone pressed to her ear.Her stilettos clicked hard against the floor."...Listen, I don't know that yet.. no news yet.." Courtney hissed quietly into the receiver. "I haven't seen her step onto the floor. And you had better keep your end of the damn deal, or we’re both finished. I will inform you the second–"Courtney slammed straight into a soft shoulder, nearly dropping the folders onto the floor. She reeled back, her face instantly twisting as she glared at the stranger."Are you fucking blind or what?!" Courtney sneered.."I am so sorry about that.." a soft voice replied quickly. "I was just looking for–""Ugh, insufferable low-class trash.." Courtney scoffed, rolling her eyes in disgust.The young woman’s brows furrowed, irritation breaking through her calm face. 'I said I was sorry.' she thought. 'Was coming here on an email invite even a good id

    "Insane... man.." Elara muttered under her breath, a breathless laugh escaping her lips as she walked toward her car. She pulled the high collar of her dress up around her throat, carefully adjusting the fabric to conceal the dark red bite marks painted across her skin before anyone could see them. "Elara." She paused, turning her head to see Sin walking toward her across the lawn, his arms crossed over his chest and his expression heavy with concern. "Hey, Sin.." she murmured. "What is really going on here?" Sin asked, stopping a few feet away, his eyes searching her face. "Tell me the truth." Elara’s eyebrow twitched slightly. "You heard what I told the family in there–" "That’s the problem.." Sin interrupted, "None of it sits right with me. You don't have to throw yourself to a bastard like Cassius just to save the Vanes. We can handle him, Elara. You don't have to leave." "You really care about what happens to me, don't you, Sin?" Sin faltered, his jaw clenching as he qui

    Elara let out a heavy sigh. She had expected her father to be worried, but as she looked closely at his face, she realized this went far deeper than basic anxiety.His eyes weren't just wide with fear, they were entirely wide from horror."Tell me, Elara..." he choked out, his fingers digging into

His driver had already pulled the door open, waiting with a bowed he

    Elara gulped as she too, took a step backward."No. I don't need Roman's help either. I told you–I will handle this myself.""Handle it yourself?" Killian’s dark chuckle was devoid of humor. He took another step forward, "Every second you waste standing here playing the proud martyr, the Feds are f
