Chapter Sixty

Liana’s POV

Morning came too soon.

The sunlight slipped through the curtains, soft and gold, brushing over the bed where I hadn’t really slept. My body was still restless, my thoughts still circling around the night before. His voice. His hands. The way he had looked at me when he said those words.

I pressed my fingers to my lips, as if the touch could erase the memory, but it only made it worse.

I hated that my skin still felt warm from him.

The court was already stirring outside my window. I could hear footsteps, servants carrying trays, guards changing shifts. Everything sounded normal. But nothing inside me felt normal anymore.

I rose from the bed and walked to the mirror. The girl who stared back didn’t look the same. Her hair was loose and messy, her eyes darker than before, her lips a shade too red. She looked like someone who had seen too much and still wanted more.

A knock came at the door.

“Come in,” I said quietly.

It was Maren, my attendant. She carried a tra

  • The King’s Relentless Desire    The Feast

    Chapter Seventy-TwoLiana’s POVThe hall was brighter than I remembered.Dozens of candles lined the walls, their flames flickering over polished gold and glass. Every surface seemed to shimmer, every shadow designed to hide nothing. The air was warm, thick with the scent of wine, fruit, and something sweeter that clung to the back of my throat.All eyes turned when I entered.The sound of soft music filled the silence that followed, but it didn’t hide the whispers. They moved like a current through the room, weaving from one noble to another, hushed and sharp. I didn’t need to hear the words to know they were about me.I kept walking.My heartbeat matched the rhythm of my steps, quick and shallow, as I moved through the hall toward him. The silk of the crimson dress brushed my legs with every step. It was light, but it felt like armour I didn’t know how to wear.Kael sat at the head of the long table. His hand rested lazily on the armrest, but his eyes never left me. The weight of hi

  • The King’s Relentless Desire    The Summons

    Chapter Seventy-OneLiana’s POVThe doors closed behind him.The sound echoed through the throne room, low and final, as if it meant something more than just his leaving. The silence that followed was too loud. My heartbeat filled it, uneven, defiant, trembling.I didn’t move at first.The space around me still felt like him the faint heat where he’d stood, the trace of his voice that still clung to the air. Even the air felt touched by him, charged in a way that left my skin prickling.The light from the high windows stretched across the floor, pale and gold, painting long shadows that reached toward me. I stared at them, trying to breathe past the tightness in my chest.But I couldn’t.I could still feel him. The weight of his stare. The quiet authority in every word. The threat that never needed to be spoken because it was already in the way he looked at me.I hated how my body remembered him.I hated how I wanted it to.My hands curled around the edge of the railing. The marble wa

  • The King’s Relentless Desire    The Eyes That Saw

    Chapter SeventyLiana’s POVI didn’t know how long I sat there.The candles were still burning, but the light had shifted, softer, lower, as if the flames themselves were tired of watching me.My head rested against my knees. I hadn’t moved since he left. The marble beneath me had gone from cold to numbing, and my skin ached where the jewels pressed against my collarbone.The hall was silent except for the faint hiss of candle wicks. It felt endless.Then, somewhere behind me, a door creaked.I froze.Soft footsteps echoed through the room. Careful. Hesitant.“My lady?”The voice was quiet, unsure.I turned slowly, my hair falling over my shoulder. A young servant stood near the entrance, holding a silver tray that trembled in his hands. His eyes widened when he saw me sitting on the floor, my gown pooled around me like spilt blood.He didn’t know what to do. No one ever saw me like this. No one was meant to.“Leave,” I said softly.He hesitated. “His Majesty asked that I”“Go.”The w

  • The King’s Relentless Desire    The Silence After

    Chapter Sixty-NineLiana’s POVThe door closed, and the sound of it echoed like a final command.I stayed where I was. Kneeling. Bare hands pressed against the cold marble floor. My body trembled from the inside out, not from fear but from something heavier.The air didn’t move. It felt trapped between the walls, warm where I breathed it in and colder where it touched my skin. My palms were slick against the marble, the faint sheen of sweat catching the candlelight as I tried to breathe through the silence. Every inhale scraped against my throat, rough, shaky.The room was empty now, yet I could still feel their eyes on me the way they had stared, the way they had whispered when Kael made me kneel. My cheeks burned even though no one was there to see.I wanted to move. I wanted to stand. But my legs wouldn’t listen.Every breath felt too loud. The air was thick, carrying the scent of wax, smoke, and his cologne. It clung to me like a reminder that I belonged here, under his rule, unde

  • The King’s Relentless Desire    Before the Court

    Chapter Sixty-EightLiana’s POVThe hall was already full when I walked in.Every face turned toward me. Every whisper carried my name. The air was heavy with perfume and curiosity, the kind that stuck to skin like heat. My heart wouldn’t slow down, not even when I forced my chin up.Kael sat at the centre of the throne room, a dark figure on gold. His hand rested on the armrest, fingers still, eyes colder than stone.The moment his gaze found me, the noise in the room faded.I wanted to look away, but couldn’t.The silk of my gown felt too thin. The neckline is too deep. The jewels he made me wear caught the light with every step, drawing eyes to the curve of my chest. It was his doing. Every part of it.When I stopped before him, I lowered my head just enough to show respect. My voice came out soft, almost breaking.“My king.”His reply was quiet, but it carried across the room.“Lift your head.”I did.The tension between us was sharp enough to cut through the silence. I could feel

  • The King’s Relentless Desire    The Morning After

    Chapter Sixty-SevenLiana’s POVThe first light of morning slipped through the curtains, soft and pale, brushing against my face like it wanted to wake me gently.I hadn’t really slept.The night had stretched on forever, filled with memories I didn’t want to relive the sound of his voice, the feel of that ribbon between my fingers, the way my body had betrayed me even as my mind screamed to resist.The red silk still lay on the table where I’d left it.It caught the sunlight now, glowing faintly, mocking me with its quiet beauty.I sat up slowly. My head ached. My throat felt dry. The air in the room was heavy with the faint scent of smoke and wine from the feast. I ran my hand through my tangled hair and tried to breathe.The knock came before I could rise.Soft. Steady. Familiar.My chest tightened.I knew that sound too well.The door opened before I could answer, and he stepped inside as if the space already belonged to him.Kael.The King.He looked like he hadn’t slept either,
