Cassian’s POV

My eyes locked onto her once more, unblinking, as she lay shackled to the bed—watching the fresh brand seared into her flesh like a cruel signature. It pulsed with raw defiance, yet it spoke of surrender.

Silence stretched between us, thick and electric, as I traced the jagged edges of the mark with a single finger. She trembled—not from fear, but something far more dangerous. I groaned low in my throat, caught between madness and desire, as her skin quivered beneath my touch like a secret begging to be broken open.

“Would’ve loved to put one right here,” I said, tapping my finger against the center of her forehead. “Front and center. Fuck, that would’ve been heaven.” I leaned back, exhaling a dark, hungry breath. “But this one will have to make do… for now.”

She lifted her head slowly at that, her eyes locked on mine, burning with quiet defiance. No words left her lips, but the message was clear. She hated me for this.

Good.

  • The Devil's Nurse   A Bitter Taste

    Cassian’s POVThe taste of Valerie still lingered on my tongue like regret—and cologne.I sat motionless in my chair, the soft click of the door shutting behind Reina still echoing in my head. She hadn’t slammed it. She didn’t need to. Her silence was more deafening than any outburst. Her eyes—those wide, furious eyes—had branded themselves into my brain.Fuck.My jaw ticked as I exhaled through my nose. Valerie had dropped to her knees like a well-trained pet, eager and desperate to reclaim what she thought was hers. It was pointless.But the moment Reina appeared in the doorway, that familiar heat had sparked—instantly. Visceral. Violent.Not for Valerie.Never for Valerie.Only Reina could make me feel like I was crawling out of my own skin with need.I had shifted in my seat, adjusting my slacks where they’d tightened again. Not because of Valerie’s mouth—but because of Reina’s eyes. The way her lips parted in shock. The way she didn’t close her eyes. Didn’t yell. Just watched.St

  • The Devil's Nurse   On Her Knees

    Reina’s POVI didn’t go far. Just leaned against the wall beside the door, pressing a fist to my lips in an attempt to stifle the scream building up in my throat.Minutes passed and I heard him groan in pleasure, like he had just released his entire cum into her mouth.Bastard. After a while, the door creaked open.She came out first, looking like an overfed peacock.She didn’t walk away right after.No. Of course not. She walked straight to me with a victorious smirk on her lips.Isn’t she the one who stood next to him that fateful day like she owned him— the one who introduced herself as his fiancée? Now, she stood in front of me, licking her lips like she’d just tasted something sacred. Her eyes found mine with wicked amusement. She wasn’t even trying to hide it.Are they back together?Does it even matter?No. It didn’t. I told myself that over and over like a broken prayer.But that didn’t stop the urge rising inside me—to slap the smugness clean off her face. She was still br

  • The Devil's Nurse   Disposable

    Reina’s POVIt has been three days.Three long, suffocating days.I couldn’t move two meters in this godforsaken mansion without someone shadowing me. A maid folding towels in the corner, looking at me quietly. A guard pretending to dust the vase. Leon sitting outside the door like a remorseful dog, pretending he wasn’t watching every flicker of my movement.I wasn’t stupid.Mr Morelli had them on me like skin.But I had a mission. And it was waiting.He might believe I was some broken, fragile thing tucked under his thumb, but he’d forgotten the most dangerous animals were the ones that pretended to submit.I had almost healed. I could stretch my body without feeling too much aches. The bruised marks were slowly fading and my swollen eyes didn’t look so hideous anymore.I stared out the floor-to-ceiling window, fingers twitching at my sides. No word from the police station yet. A miracle.But miracles don’t last.They would call. Sooner or later, someone would ask questions. About wh

  • The Devil's Nurse   Unwinding

    Andrew’s POV“I’m heading out,” I muttered, grabbing my keys off the marble counter.My mother didn’t look up from her tea. “Downtown again?”“Yeah. Gotta unwind.”She hummed like she didn’t believe me. “Clubs are a waste of time, Andy. You’re not going to find anything you really want in those places.”I hesitated in the doorway, fingers tightening around the keys. “Do we even know where Reina’s staying right now?”That got her attention.She looked up slowly, lips pressed together in a thin line. “Come to think of it… no. Not exactly. She’s been moving quietly.”I frowned. “We need to fix that.”She tapped her nail against the table again, a rhythm that always meant she was scheming. “I’ll have someone tail her. She’s getting more bratty than ever—might be planning another run after we handle her husband. She was always impulsive, even as a little girl.”I gave her a look. “You’d think her dad would’ve kept a better leash on her.”Her smile soured. “He was too soft. That was his pro

  • The Devil's Nurse   Good Old Days

    Andrew’s POVThe past wasn’t all bad. Some might say it was twisted. But I call them the good old days.I remembered them with a grin tugging at my lips as I leaned back in my car seat, fingers absently tracing the scar just above my wrist. The memory had yellowed with age, but it still played vividly in my mind—the summer Reina turned fifteen. I was eighteen, technically too old to be noticing anything at all. But God, I noticed.She’d started adding up in all the right places—hips that swayed without knowing, a mouth always full of backtalk, and a fire in her eyes that made my blood rush hot. The little tank tops and shorts. The way she’d walk around like she didn’t know what she was doing to him.Her father had wanted to adopt me. The whole happy family package, once my mom married into their moneyed world. But my biological father—rest his violent, belligerent soul—had said no. No legal ties.Back then, I had been bitter about it. I wanted to have free access to Reina.Now, I was

  • The Devil's Nurse   Caught in His Game

    Cassian’s POVThe wood-paneled walls of my office felt like they were closing in, but I didn’t move. I sat there, the velvet grip of my cane pressed white-knuckled in my palm. The scent of expensive bourbon and blood hung in the air.The light from a single desk lamp painted half of my face in gold. The other half? Darkness. Just like my thoughts.An image of how she looked when they brought her in earlier this evening flashed through my mind. Reina. Swollen-eyed. Bruised. Barely conscious.This was supposed to be a harmless prank. How did she come back like a ruined doll?I slammed my cane against Ethan’s back, the crack echoing through the marble-floored office.Ethan knelt, jaw clenched tight as he bit down his groan.My voice was calm—but laced with venom. “Remind me, Ethan. How exactly does a nurse—a nobody—get caught in the middle of a city-wide distraction you orchestrated? You let her get caught up in that whirlwind?”“I—I didn’t think she’d be at the precinct, boss,” Ethan s

  • The Devil's Nurse   While the City Burned

    Roman’s heart plummeted to his stomach.He stared at the empty hospital bed as if blinking might reverse time, rewind the moment and bring Reina back into the room—groggy, sarcastic, mumbling something sharp-tongued about his timing.But the bed was still empty.And the silence was deafening.He spun on his heel and stormed out of the room, adrenaline pounding like a war drum. Spotting a pair of nurses chatting by the station, he made a beeline toward them.“Where is she?” he demanded, voice clipped.One of the nurses—short, brunette, too calm—looked up, confused. “Sorry?”“The patient that I brought to the ER a few hours ago. Reina Vale. Where the hell is she?”The nurses exchanged a quick glance. “She’s been discharged,” the other said.Roman's eyes narrowed. “What do you mean, discharged? She was sedated!”“Yes, well… according to the system, her legal guardian signed her out. She checked out about thirty minutes ago.”He took a step closer, his badge practically vibrating with ten

  • The Devil's Nurse   Missing Again

    Reina lay still, wondering why he offered to help her when he's apparently with someone else? Why would he do that?Roman turned slightly, trying to ease Vanessa off him. “Vanessa—this isn’t the time.”Vanessa’s brows lifted in amusement as she turned her attention to Reina, reclining weakly in the bed.“Oh,” she said sweetly. “You must be her.”The way she said it made Reina's stomach twist.Her mind kept playing questions over and over again. She wondered if Roman mentioned her to his girlfriend over Netflix and chill. Does he see her as the ugly clueless neighbor?“I’m Vanessa,” she continued, sliding her arm around Roman’s waist. “His fiancée. And you are?”Reina blinked, letting the drugs take over at last—but not before a sly, sleep-laced smile curved her lips.“Apparently... the wife.”Then everything went black.****Roman's POVThe first time I saw her, she had drools on the side of her lips and annoyance in her eyes. Reina. She opened the door with one sock on, hair wild, an

  • The Devil's Nurse   His Proposal

    Reina’s POVRoman helped me back to the hospital bed like I was made of glass. Every step sent a ripple of pain through my ribs, but it wasn’t the bruises that had my hands shaking—it was his words.We get married. For real.Once I was lying down again, he pulled the blanket over me, then dragged a chair to my bedside and sat, eyes never leaving mine.“Okay,” he said quietly. “Start from the beginning. First, why were you in a holding cell with a bunch of misfits? What the hell was that about just now? And why does that guy look like the villain from every bad high school movie?”I laughed once. It sounded like a broken wind chime. “Because he is the villain in my story.”Roman raised an eyebrow, patient, waiting. His fingers tapped lightly against his knee.I closed my eyes and began.I shouldn't tell him about the contract with the police or with Mr Morelli. I just have to find a way to blend the story so he doesn't suspect a thing.After all, he's a cop.“About the thing with the p
