Reina’s POV

He deserves so much more.

They say silence is deafening.

But in that moment—inside that sterile, echoing police station—it wasn’t the silence that got me.

It was the sound of my own heartbeat, raging like a war drum in my ears as Andrew locked eyes with me.

Because I knew that word.

I knew that look on her face.

And most of all—I knew that pain.

The girl’s voice still echoed through the walls, but it was the words that branded themselves into the bones of the room.

"Because he raped me."

Roman didn’t speak. Didn’t blink. He just stood there, motionless, letting her words settle like ash after an explosion. His posture didn’t change—but something in his eyes did. I knew that look. The quiet kind of rage.

The kind that didn’t scream—it hunted.

Outside the room, I felt my fingernails dig into my skin. My lungs barely worked. And when I looked at Andrew again, I didn’t see a man anymore.

I saw rot. A wound that never healed. A curse that had followed me from adolescence into t

  • The Devil's Nurse   THE SMOKE AND THE STRINGS

    The air was thick with tension—like a bullet waiting in the chamber.It was the day of the so-called trap. The day Elias was meant to bleed. The compound thrummed with quiet, contained chaos, soldiers in sharp suits whispering orders into earpieces, guns checked and rechecked, vans prepped like coffins on wheels.And at the eye of the storm, Cassian Morelli sat like a god on his throne—his wheelchair.He didn’t speak.He didn’t need to.It's time to go chase an illusion.Lucas and Ethan flanked him, a pair of loyal shadows in tailored black, standing like sentinels at either side of their king. But Cassian’s eyes weren’t on them. His gaze was locked on the two men dragging a figure across the courtyard. The alleged Jonah—though nothing about the man screamed conviction.They tossed him to his knees before Cassian like an offering.Marco.Cassian’s eyes locked with his, and there it was—a flicker. A faint tremor in those steel-blue eyes. Not defiance. Not hatred.Fear.Cassian’s jaw tw

  • The Devil's Nurse   Distraction

    CASSIAN’S POV“What the hell are you talking about?” Lucas asked.I didn’t answer right away. I pushed off the edge of my desk and slowly wheeled to the window, the rain now a violent sheet slicing down the glass, the world outside smeared and gray.Thunder cracked overhead like the sky was splitting open.Lucas’s footsteps were steady behind me, his voice low but hard. “Boss, you said Jonah was lying. You need to help me understand what's going on.”“Jonah thinks I’m stupid,” I said, my voice quiet.Lucas blinked. “Come again?”“He thinks I’m blinded by anger. That I’m reckless. That I’d grab the first thread he dangled and unravel the whole thing myself.”Lucas moved to stand beside me, watching the storm with me like it held answers. “Boss…”“Can’t you see it?” I said, eyes fixed on the window. “It’s too clean. Too convenient. Jonah just walks in, offers me a way to gut Elias from the inside? Gives me a midnight meeting, a location no one’s supposed to know exists, a fucking escap

  • The Devil's Nurse   The Only Way Out

    CHAPTER 178CASSIAN’S POV"How?" I asked again, quieter this time, but no less deadly.Jonah's gaze didn’t waver."You said you wanted to gut him. Brick by brick, skull by skull. I can give you the foundation. I know where he sleeps, where he meets, where he bleeds. But he won't come out in the open—not unless he's lured."I leaned back in my chair, cold fire burning in my veins. "You think he's stupid enough to walk into a trap?""No," Jonah admitted. "But he's arrogant enough to think he can outsmart yours."Lucas scoffed, arms crossed tight across his chest. "And what? You think you can convince him to meet you for tea?""He still trusts me," Jonah said. "Not fully. Not the way he used to. But enough. Enough to pull him in. You want Reina back? You want to end this war before it turns into a goddamn bloodbath on both sides? Then let me do what I was raised to do. Lie. Deceive. Survive."I stared at him, trying to see past the calm, the poise, the rehearsed stillness. He looked like

  • 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
