CASSIAN’S POV

“One more thing,” I said, my voice calm…too calm…as a brilliant idea stitched itself together inside my mind like the makings of a masterpiece.

Lucas turned back fully, eyes alert now, like a hound catching the scent of something deliciously wicked.

“I need you to set something in motion immediately.”

He said nothing. Just waited.

“But first…” I steepled my fingers beneath my chin. “How is our fake Jonah doing?”

Lucas’s jaw ticked slightly. “Still holding onto the same story. Marco insists he never saw the man’s face. Says he was threatened…the life of his daughter in exchange for playing the role. Claims the man knew everything…where she goes to school, her ballet recital time, the name of the teddy bear she sleeps with. Every damn detail.”

Of course he did.

I said nothing, only listened as Lucas continued.

“He said he’s seen you fall apart once… after Bella. Said he wouldn’t wish that kind of grief on anyone.

He cooperated and followed every instruction he was given b

  • The Devil's Nurse   Bound Or Burn

    CASSIAN’S POVHe stifled his giggling, straightening his back.“Boss, she didn’t mean any harm. She genuinely thought that… but I’ve cleared the misunderstanding, and…”He was already making excuses for the maid, probably thinking I’d fly off the handle and order her head served on a silver platter. And honestly, that wasn’t a bad idea. But I had other plans.“Just get her back here, Lucas,” I snapped.Lucas flinched like I’d smacked him, then turned sharply toward the door, heels clicking as he vanished down the hall.Minutes passed.Silence folded in around me like a fog, dense and unsettling.I looked down at my hands. At the fabric I’d torn and folded…Reina’s nightgown and one of my shirts, pressed together, warm with the heat of my palm like some desperate token of obsession.What the hell am I doing?What would the maid think of me if I handed this to her? Some deranged lover? A clingy lunatic who needed a temple spell to keep a woman by his side?I didn’t need any divinity to k

  • The Devil's Nurse   Cupid Needs to Be Shot

    CASSIAN’S POVBoth of us drew our guns and moved with quiet precision. A single nod passed between us…Lucas already knew the drill. He dropped low and looked under the door.The shadow was still there. Still waiting. Still breathing.A beat passed. Then another.I clenched the door knob and gently shifted my weight, staying behind the door, signaling Lucas with a twitch of my fingers.One.Two.Now.I flung the door open with force and stayed behind it as Lucas aimed his gun at the figure directly in front of us. The sound that followed wasn’t a gunshot.It was a scream.High-pitched. Startled. Female.A pile of freshly washed and neatly ironed bedsheets tumbled to the floor, followed by the wide-eyed face of a maid with both hands lifted in surrender.Her mouth trembled. “I—I didn’t mean to—please!”Did she hear?The part where I could walk? About the plan? Was she sent by Jonah?What the hell does she know?I don’t like torturing women. Not my thing. Not really my forte. But I’ve ma

  • The Devil's Nurse   My Addiction

    CASSIAN’S POVI woke up with a start, my eyes snapping open to a suffocating stillness.The space beside me was cold. Empty.Her scent was fading from the sheets.I didn’t need to look to know she was gone.And still, I reached—dragged my hand over the place she should’ve been, my fingers curling into the soft fabric that no longer held her warmth. The sting in my chest came sharp and fast—but oddly, it satisfied me. Like ripping off a scab just to feel the throb underneath.Where the fuck did she go?Then I remembered.Leon’s report.Her reinstatement at the hospital.A bitter laugh climbed up my throat, dry and sharp.Of all the ways she could’ve disobeyed me, this—this fucking act of independence, of trying to live a normal life, of pretending like I hadn’t already claimed her in every way that mattered…was the one that made my blood boil the hardest.I should chain her to the goddamn bed.Not metaphorically.Literally.My plan was simple: ruin her. Wreck her until every bone in he

  • The Devil's Nurse   He’s Not Done

    REINA’S POVMy voice trembled with steel. “Get away from me.”He leaned in, the stench from his breath making me choke. “You’ve gotten prettier… since the last time I held you,” he rasped, voice gravel-slick and rotten with something darker.“You need help,” I said, stepping away from him, my fingers clenched so tightly they ached. “And not the kind I can give.”He grabbed my wrist.I didn’t scream.I snapped.One hard twist and I broke out of his grip. Months of being prey had taught me something useful: when you stop running, you have to be ready to tear the monster’s throat out.His breath stuttered. His eyes searched mine like he was trying to find the girl he’d once cornered.She wasn’t there anymore.“If you take another step, I swear I’ll scream. Do you realize there are CCTV cameras everywhere in this hallway?”His face flushed in panic, but he recovered immediately.“Oh, I’m going to enjoy watching you bleed for what you’ve done,” he snarled, eyes gleaming with venom. “Slow.

  • The Devil's Nurse   The Lance Guy

    REINA’S POVMy breath caught.Mr. Lance.David Lance’s son. The man whose name I never knew—but whose eyes I could never forget. The man who kidnapped me. Who nearly ended me.And now he stood there. Just feet away.I blinked, hoping—praying—I was wrong.But it was him.Same height. Same walk. That same eerie calm that always felt like the hush before a hurricane. He hadn’t seen me yet. But I am sure he would.And when he did—God.My pulse kicked like a trapped animal.Was he the one that did this to the woman?Was this his doing?Another crime?Another mindless revenge scheme on someone else?Another sick twisted performance with blood on the floor and the whole hospital as an audience?“Coming through!”The front doors burst open again as two nurses wheeled in a second gurney.A child this time. A boy—maybe five or six—limp and silent, a bloody gash across his forehead, legs covered in scrapes. I saw the torn Spider-Man socks and my heart twisted painfully.Was it an accident?I
