LOGINDaisy I woke to warmth.Not the kind that came from the morning sun filtering through the curtains, but the kind that settled beneath my skin and refused to leave.Caspian.His arm was draped firmly around my waist, holding me against him even in sleep, as though somewhere in the back of his mind he was still afraid I'd disappear if he loosened his grip.I lay still for several seconds.His breathing was slow and even, the steady rise and fall of his chest brushing gently against my back.Carefully, I lifted his hand from my waist and turned just enough to look at him.He hadn't changed while he slept.The same stubborn jaw, the same impossibly long lashes and the same face that had spent the last several weeks carrying more exhaustion than any person should.My chest tightened.He'd done all of it and he hadn't stopped.While I'd doubted him, while I'd believed the worst, he'd chased ghosts, he'd questioned old witnesses and he'd dug through decades of lies just to prove somethin
Daisy “Tell me what you did, Daisy,” he commanded, his voice a lethal, breathless rumble against my back. He delivered another heavy, punishing spank to the other cheek, making my internal walls clench and gush more fluid down my legs. “Say it. Tell me what you did and what you want your husband to do to you for it.”:“I kissed him!” I cried out, my tears finally spilling over as I gripped the wall for dear life. “I kissed Octavian, and I’m sorry! Please, Caspian, I want you to fuck me! I want your dick inside me, stretch me out, please!”Hearing the explicit surrender pass my lips, he reached under my stomach. He drove three long fingers deep inside my dripping pussy from behind, pumping me with a fast, merciless speed that hit my sweet spot with a heavy, wet thud over and over again. He didn't let up for a single second. His fingers stretched my tight walls while his thumb ruthlessly thrashed against my clit from behind, driving me completely out of my mind until my vision spli
Daisy My jaw practically hit the floor while my heart did a frantic, terrifying somersault inside my ribs, the blood instantly rushing to my ears with a deafening roar.Of all the things I thought he would say, best believe I didn't see that coming at all. “I..” I stammered, my hands instantly flying up as if I could physically push the accusation away. “Caspian, wait. I can explain..”“Explain?” Caspian interrupted, his voice dropping into a register so low and lethal it vibrated straight through the floorboards. He slowly uncrossed his arms, his massive frame shifting as he stepped toward me, closing the distance like a predator locking onto a target. “You kissed my brother, Daisy. What exactly is there to explain?”The lingering guilt and panic inside me instantly flared into hot, defensive defiance. I wasn't going to let him just corner me, not after everything we had been through. “I wouldn't have done it if you had just given me answers from the very beginning!” I shot bac
Daisy Silence had a way of becoming loud when you were alone.It filled every corner of my room, pressing against me until even breathing felt like an effort.I sat by the window with my knees drawn to my chest, watching the late afternoon sun stretch across the gardens below.I couldn't remember how long I'd been sitting there. Minutes, hours or maybe even longer, I wasn't sure anymore. All I knew was that everything that had happened over the past few days kept replaying inside my head like a story I couldn't escape.I thought about Elias, my parents, Caspian, the accusations and the kiss.I squeezed my eyes shut.I'd spent so long chasing answers that I'd somehow forgotten how heavy the truth could be.A soft knock sounded at the door before I could think further. I barely reacted but another knock followed and then the door opened.I looked up as Caspian stepped inside. He didn't rush toward me and he didn't call my name either. He simply closed the door quietly behind him.S
Caspian The folder rested on the passenger seat the entire drive. I never looked at it and I didn't need to.Every page inside had already carved itself into my memory.Victor's letter, Henry's records, the altered medical report, and the financial ledger. Years of lies compressed into a stack of paper that weighed more than it had any right to.By the time I reached Elias's office, I wasn't angry anymore, anger had burned itself out somewhere along the way.What remained was colder.“I'll let him know you're here.” The receptionist looked up as I approached. "He's expecting…..""I know where his office is."She opened her mouth to protest, then thought better of it.I didn't stop.The hallway felt strangely familiar now, every step reminding me of my last visit. The visit where I'd walked away with questions, but today, I carried answers.I pushed the door open without knocking and Elias looked up from behind his desk.For a fleeting moment, surprise crossed his face, then it dis
Caspian I didn't speak.I couldn't, not when the single name lying on the desk between us seemed to swallow every other thought inside my head.Elias.For days, I'd suspected him, for weeks, I'd questioned his motives and now suspicion had become something far heavier.Proof.I stared at the folder, waiting for my mind to reject it, to tell me there had been some mistake, but it never did.Instead, the investigator quietly walked around the desk and stopped beside me."I know what you're thinking."“Really?’ I tore my eyes away from the file. "Do you?""You're wondering whether this is enough.""...Is it?" I looked back at the papersInstead of answering, he opened the folder completely."We're not looking at one piece of evidence." He pulled out the first document. "We're looking at years of it."Without warning, he placed an old envelope on the desk. Its paper had yellowed with age, and the edges looked as though they'd crumble if handled too roughly."The handwriting was confirme
Daisy Waking up felt wrong. It wasn't exactly painful, but I felt heavy, like my body had been dragged underwater and only partially pulled back up again.For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling, trying to remember where I was, why my chest still felt tight, and why exhaustio
Daisy The word desire didn’t just sit between us. It didn't want to believe it, but the more I fought the word, the deeper it sank inside me It coiled low in my stomach like something alive, something dangerous, and something that didn’t ask for permission before making itself at home inside me
Daisy The library was nothing like I expected. It wasn’t just large, it was overwhelming.Shelves stretched from floor to ceiling, dark wood polished to a quiet sheen, and lined with books that looked older than anything I’d ever seen. Ladders rested against some of them, tall and narrow, like t
Twenty one Daisy When Caspian had said I was going to come back to him, despite fighting how much I wanted him, I didn't think it would be that soon. The room was quiet now, Caspian long gone. I lay tangled in the sheets, my skin humming with a restless energy that made the silk feel like sand
