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   We Made It!

    Reina’s POVEpilogue – Three Years LaterI’m a mommy of two now, and some mornings I still wake up thinking it’s all been a wild dream.But then I feel the solid weight of Cassian’s arm across my waist, his breath warm against my neck, and I know it’s real. More than real…it’s the kind of real that hits me in the chest every single time.The house is quiet for once…miraculously quiet. Sunlight slips through the half-open blinds, painting gold stripes across the bed. Cassian’s side is empty but still warm…he’s probably downstairs making coffee the way he does every weekend when we have the mansion all to ourselves, shirtless, muttering at the espresso machine like it personally offended him.I stretch, grinning at the delicious ache between my thighs. Even after all these years, the man doesn’t know the meaning of gentleness. Or moderation. Last night he had me against the shower wall, water pounding down while he pinned my hands above my head and fucked me until my legs gave out. T

  • The Devil's Nurse   He’s Everywhere!

    Reina’s POV“It’s you?” I whispered again, louder this time, my voice cracking with disbelief.Cassian stood in the doorway like he owned the air itself…black suit tailored to every ridiculous muscle, shirt unbuttoned just enough to show the ink crawling up his neck, that smug half-smile that always makes me want to slap him and climb him at the same time.I scoffed out loud, loud enough that a few board members shifted awkwardly. I whipped my head to Uncle Pete, who was grinning like a kid who just pulled the best prank.“Seriously?” I snapped at him. “You’re encouraging this obnoxious behavior now?”Uncle Pete shrugged, eyes twinkling. “He asked nicely. And he’s putting up half the capital. It's hard to say no to family.”This is unbelievable!I turned back to Cassian, hands on my hips. “Why are you everywhere? Can’t I breathe for five damn minutes without you intruding?”He stepped fully into the room, hands in his pockets, looking way too pleased with himself. “This is what you si

  • The Devil's Nurse   Life As His Wife

    Reina’s POVIt’s been two years already.Two fucking years of waking up with Cassian’s arm locked around my waist like he’s scared I’ll vanish if he lets go. Seven-hundred-and-thirty nights of him fucking me into the mattress, or the wall, or the shower, or the kitchen island…until I forget my own name.Bliss? Most of the time.Chaotic? Always.I married the devil who runs half this city’s underworld. What did I expect, Sunday picnics?Last month proved it.We were eating breakfast when Cassian’s phone lit up with a single text. His face went stone-cold. Ten minutes later he was barking orders, shoving a go-bag into my hands and kissing me so hard my lips bruised.“The private jet leaves in twenty. You and Abby are going to the island. Now.”It turned out three Albanian crews decided to test the mafia boss. Cassian handled it the way he handles everything…blood, fire, and zero survivors. We stayed gone for seven days. Came home to a spotless house and a husband with fresh scars and t

  • The Devil's Nurse   Epilogue

    Reina’s POVSix months.That’s how long it’s been since the night everything went to hell. Sometimes it still feels like yesterday. It still feels like it was yesterday officer Rodney gave me the mission to be a spy in Cassian’s world. It still feels like yesterday that I was caught up in the inheritance struggle with Lucy and Andrew.Felt like it was yesterday Cassian used me as a bet in a game of chess.I’m in the car now, the morning sun slipping through the window. Abby’s sitting beside me, giggling at a cartoon on her tablet. That sound…her laugh…makes every scar, every nightmare from that night worth it.Yeah, I’m a wife now. Cassian and I got married two weeks after the attack. We wanted a small gathering but it turned out to be the wedding of the century. Uncle Pete, Andre, Joshua and his wife, Cassian’s brother…it was a truly healing moment.Crazy, right? But after everything that happened, waiting felt stupid. We’d already survived the worst. What else could possibly scare

  • The Devil's Nurse   How It Ended

    Cassian’s POV“Jonah, what the fuck are you doing?” Elias barked, his voice sharp and trembling with rage. “Are you fucking blind? Point the gun at him, not me!”But Ethan didn’t move. His hands shook slightly, but the gun in them stayed trained on Elias. His eyes…moist, furious, and broken…glimmered in the dim light of the burning corridor.“You lied to me,” Ethan shouted, his voice cracking under the weight of emotion. “All this time I’ve been following your orders, killing for you, thinking I was fighting for justice for our family…but you lied!”Elias scoffed. “Lied? About what, you stupid cunt?”“Yeah, that’s what you do, right?” Ethan bit back, trembling. “Talk down to me. Treat me like some useless trash. Have you ever thought that maybe I don’t want to do this anymore? That maybe I don’t want to be your shadow anymore?”“Oh crap, here we go again.” Elias rolled his eyes, lowering his gun slightly. “Put that useless feeling aside, Jonah. We’ll talk about it once this mission is

  • The Devil's Nurse   The Second Assasination

    Cassian’s POVAn opera filled the hall…high, bright, ridiculous in the middle of a blackout. Someone had the stereo on full blast. The sound cut through the panic like a sharp blade.“They’re here,” I said out loud before I even knew I had said it.Lucas barked into his radio. “All positions…now! Perimeter tight! No one leaves the compound unless I say so. And someone turn on the fucking backup power supply!” His voice was the kind that forced men to move without thinking.I turned to Reina. She stood in the doorway, eyes raw, tears streaking down her face, trembling like a blown-out candle. I gripped her shoulder so hard she flinched.“Hey, baby,” I said, keeping my voice flat. “You have to listen to me. You’ll go with Leon.” I began to pull her toward the hall but she was already shaking, crying.“No—no—no. I’m scared. Where’s Abby?” Her voice broke.“I’ll find Abby,” I said, because I meant it. “Now go with Leon and hide.”“Come hide with me,” she whispered, and a dry laugh escaped
