Reina's POV

I watched the smile on his face widen as he looked down at me.

He knelt in front of me again, unmasking—his face now seared into my memory like a brand. And worse… when I looked at him, it wasn't just his face anymore. It blurred with Andrew’s. The same darkness. The same sick hunger.

“I can’t be cheated out of life. I must take my own pound of flesh,” he barked with a crazy look in his eyes.

I thrashed. Hard. My shoulder twisted painfully, but I didn’t care. I had to move. Had to stop what I knew was coming.

He lunged forward—fingers clawing at the waistband of my shorts. The rope around my ankles burned as I kicked out wildly, but he gripped my legs and yanked them down hard, slamming my spine against the cold cement.

Pain shot up my back as my breath hitched.

My heart slammed so hard I thought it might give out.

Stall him.

Make him think he’s winning.

Play the game.

“Wait,” I gasped, forcing my voice to tremble—not just from fear, but desire. I hated myself for it, but

  • The Devil's Nurse   I Am Jonah

    Cassian’s POVThe sun didn’t rise.It clawed its way up the horizon like it didn’t want to be seen. The sky was bruised gray and blood-tinged red, a warning if there ever was one.I hadn’t slept.Not really.Every time I closed my eyes, I heard her—Reina’s scream.Sometimes it was her voice. Sometimes Bella’s. Sometimes both. Merging into one endless, soul-shattering sound that yanked me awake in cold sweats.I’d reach for the pillow, searching for her warmth.But all I found was absence.And guilt.I stood at the center of the courtyard now—marble beneath my boots, the chill of morning heavy on my skin. Rows upon rows of my men lined the space. Black suits. Steel eyes. Some looked alert. Some looked uncertain. But all of them—every single one—stood silent as the tension in the air vibrated like a string pulled taut.They knew something was wrong.They felt it.And I made damn sure they did.Lucas stood slightly behind me, hands clasped, eyes scanning every face with predator calm.N

  • The Devil's Nurse   A Broken Lesson

    Reina’s POVDarkness ebbed and flowed like a tide behind my swollen eyes. Pain beat in my skull like a second heart. Every breath scraped raw against the inside of my chest. Blood slicked my back, my legs, the inside of my thighs. Footsteps.Heavy. Calculated. Fading.The door slammed.Silence again.A silence that screamed louder than the belt ever could.I didn’t cry.Not this time.I wasn’t sure how long I lay there—minutes, hours, maybe centuries—before sound returned.The pain had tunneled into something else—something quiet, seething, and angry. Beneath the agony, beneath the betrayal, was a spark that refused to go out.Cassian.His name pulsed like venom through my veins.Did he really serve me up to Elias like a lamb to slaughter? Or had Elias lied? Twisted the truth? There had to be something more. There had to be.But right now, none of that mattered. Because one truth cut deeper than any belt could:I was going to die in here unless I did something.Groaning, I pushed mys

  • The Devil's Nurse   He Used me as Bait?

    Reina’s POVThe first thing that greeted me when I regained consciousness was the smell.Rot. Sweat. Dampness soaked into the very bones of the room. The air was thick, humid, and rancid, like it had never been filtered through sunlight. I gagged before I could stop myself, rolling onto my side on the cold, sticky floor.A sob echoed somewhere behind me.And another.My eyes shot open.Not mine.Other girls.I sat up so fast my head spun, and I nearly lost my balance. My arms instinctively wrapped around my body.Underwear.That’s all I had on.I shivered, my teeth chattering from more than the cold. The walls around me were stained with mold, cracked in places, and lined with rusted nails and rot. A single, dying bulb flickered overhead. It buzzed like it had a death wish.Whispers. Sobs. A choked breath.There were girls in every corner. Seven of them. Huddled. Hunched. Silent as shadows.I stumbled to my feet, arms tight around my chest, and staggered toward the door. My bare feet

  • The Devil's Nurse   The Key

    CASSAIN’S POV“What message?”She looked up at me, and her voice cracked.“He said: Tell Cassian Morelli that the past always collects its debt. And this time, interest has matured.”My stomach turned to iron.“And then,” she added with a trembling breath, “he smiled. Said, ‘Tell him Jonah remembers too.’”Jonah.That must be the other brother.The room tilted slightly. My pulse thundered in my ears. I felt myself roll back, but I don’t remember pushing the chair.“Who is Jonah?” Lucas asked beside me, but I barely heard him.He was Elias’s shadow. His brother.Not his blood, but raised beside him like a reflection. The backup plan. The weapon in the dark.I turned back to the maid after gathering myself.“You’re sure that’s what he said?”She nodded, tears now dripping down her cheeks. “He made me memorize it. He said if I told you wrong, they’d mail me pieces of my sister.”I took a step closer, voice lower now, cutting through the panic in her chest. “Did he say anything else?”She

  • The Devil's Nurse   They Were Two

    CASSIAN’S POV“It’s me,” I said, my voice low, already hating that I’d called. But the question burned hotter than my pride — a quiet itch under the skin I couldn’t ignore. I had to know.I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth the second I heard that voice slither through the speaker.“Well, brother Cassian,” Vasili drawled from the other end of the line, that same theatrical boredom in his voice he always used when he knew he had the upper hand. “I thought you said you were never calling again.”My fingers dug into the edge of the desk, rage tightening every muscle in my body. I wanted to throw the phone away. Wanted to let the fury burn through the line and choke him where he sat. But instead, I forced the words out—growled them past the pressure in my throat.“I need to know something. Something important.”A long pause. Then the faint rustling of fabric. Probably lounging somewhere, enjoying a drink, detached from the fire he lit and walked away from.“And what could an old man lik

  • The Devil's Nurse   A Mole in my Home

    CASSIAN’S POVLucas’s words echoed through my skull like a bullet:“The signal shows that he’s inside the premises, sir.”The line had cut. Silence slammed into me like a physical blow.My grip on the phone tightened until the plastic creaked. I didn’t move. I let the silence linger—held the weight of it in my bones.Then something explosive erupted inside me. My chair screeched back as I knocked whatever my hand and feet could find all over the place. The wheels of my chair spinning uselessly as I lunged forward and grabbed Lucas by the collar, bending him to my level.“Say that again,” I growled, low and lethal.Lucas didn’t flinch, but the tremor in his jaw betrayed him. “The trace pinged from inside the mansion. East wing. Someone let him in.”Let him in.The words repeated like a war drum in my skull.Not snuck in. Not hacked.Let. Him. In.I shoved Lucas back and stormed toward the exit, ignoring the chaos behind me—the frantic voices, the scrabbling for radio contact, the sharp
