VESPER GREY LYSAN POV

"You look so beautiful, Vesper. Cyran is so lucky to have you," the lady helping me with my dress said, her eyes crinkling at the edges as she smiled.

I gazed at my reflection in the mirror.

Why was everyone always so happy except for me?

"Thank you, Nina."

"Oh, but you don't need to thank me at all, Miss Vesper, I'm just stating a fact. You're the prettiest bride I've dressed so far."

"Really?" I asked, glancing down at my body. She was right, the dress was beautiful. It also looked like it cost a fortune.

When had Cyran prepared it, and how did he know my size?

"Yes, and I'm actually dying to know the love story between you and Cyran, but you won't say, will you? You both are so secretive," she said, pouting.

I forced a smile, shaking my head.

She let out a sigh. "Fine! Keep it to yourself. I'm going to find out sooner or later anyway," she said, then glanced around the room. "Oh, let me get you the bouquet," she said and ran off before I could stop her.

    ZEVRAN ILVANE POV "So beautiful," I murmured, a smile tugging on my lips as Vesper stirred and snuggled closer.Her eyes slowly opened, her brows furrowing before she looked up and saw me.She didn't jerk away like I expected her to."How long have you been watching me?I couldn't remember. Did I even sleep at all?"Not too long" I whispered, caressing her face. "Did you sleep well?"She nodded, her gaze darting away as her cheek flamed.I could tell what she was thinking about.I grinned, pressing a quick kiss to her lips. "I'll give you a bath."Her eyes flew open. "No!"I frowned. "Why not?"She propped on her elbow, her curly hair falling to the side, her eyes fierce and accusing."Because I know we won't just be bathing." My smile stretched wider."I'll keep my hand to myself. I promise.""I don't believe a word you say."She was right not to.I yanked her close, pressed another kiss to her mouth."It's because I love you so much."Her pulse jumped, eyes trembling as they darte

  • The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes    Seventy five

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POV Zevran's eyes widened in surprise, a mix of shock and desire flashing across his face as he took in the sight of me on my knees.And just like that, the reality of my action sank in. I was kneeling in front of Zevran, doing so of my own free will. My hand clenched on my thighs, the cool air blowing around us a sharp contrast to the fire raging inside. Why was it so easy to get swept off every time he was near, every time he touched me...why was it so hard to resist this forbidden pull—My thought cut off as he grabbed my chin and tilted my head to meet his gaze.The hunger in his eyes mirrored mine, and as I looked at him, taking in the way his eyes pleaded with mine to do something, anything, the vulnerable position I was in gave way to power. A feeling of being in control spread over me like a warm blanket.His thumb grazed my lips, every rough caress shooting straight to my core. I clenched my thighs, my breath heavy as the air thickened with heat and lust.

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POV "Why do you love me, Zevran?"His breath caught, his eyes locking on mine with a hunger that made my chest tighten."Because there was never another option. From the moment I saw you, nothing else mattered, Vesper." He smiled, but his eyes held a chilling intensity. "You carved yourself so deep in my heart that it's impossible to live without you now. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you, even if it means tearing down everything that stands in our way."His words pierced deep, the chilling way he said it, pulling me in when I should have pulled away.It was both intoxicating and terrifying.My gaze dropped to his lips, heart skipping a beat.I want to kiss him.The thought was a wake-up call, and I flinched, snatching my hand from his face, my eyes darting anywhere but at him."I...I'm fine now," I stuttered, then risked a glance.Our gaze clashed and held, the intensity in his eyes making my breath catch for a full second.He didn't break the contact as he got

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POVI stepped into the kitchen, the short distance from my bedroom feeling like miles as my feet throbbed in pain.God damn it, I really shouldn't have walked on those broken glasses.I let out a heavy sigh, pushed my hair back, and walked toward the kitchen counter.Another meal was waiting for me.But it was already too cold and I didn't have the energy to pick it up and reheat it."Ugh," I braced my arms on the counter to support my weight. "Is this how I die? Starving and all alone?"I let my head drop to the surface, the urge to climb on and curl in on myself overwhelming, but I didn't even have the strength for that."This really sucks," I muttered, closing my eyes.When was Zevran going to come back? He left early, and it was already seven. Didn't he say he wasn't going to be out long... Yes, I had been half asleep, but I clearly remember him saying that he would be back before I knew it."You make rules and you don't even follow them," I mumbled to myself, th

    CYRAN KAELROS POV "Did she say she was in love with him?" I asked, my eyes fixed on the wall, my throat drying up as I waited for her answer."I don't know." Pain flared under my rib, sharp and intense."Don't lie to me, Myra...""I'm not lying! I really don't know if she loves him or not. She said she was only marrying him for revenge, but...but there was something off about the way she looked at him—"I knew what she was about to say. It did nothing to dull the hurt."I think she's in love with him and doesn't even know it, Cyran." Her finger grazed my hand, trembling slightly. "If that's the case...I think you should just let her go.""Let her go?" The words ripped out of my lungs, my gaze snapping to hers. "How can you suggest such a thing in front of me?"Myra fidgeted in her seat, her gaze darting. "I know you hate to hear it, but it's the only logical solution, Cyran. I don't think Zevran is someone you can mess with. Do you have any idea what he said to me..." Her voice trem

    ZEVRAN ILVANE POV Dead men littered the ground, the fire burning through the space filling the air with the acrid smell of their charred flesh.It was a gruesome sight.The cleanup crew moved fast, dousing flames and dragging corpses out of the way.It would probably take them a while to scour the whole building, but I was sure they would get the job done before the cops pulled up.The only downside to the rescue mission was that Kellan had managed to escape.And it was all because Camille put herself in the line of fire just to shield him from me.My jaw tightened, finger flexing on the trigger still warm in my hand.Why the hell did she do that? What deal could she have made with him to risk her life like that?I cut a glance toward her corner—where our medics stood bandaging every visible cut on her body—the gnawing sense in my gut that something was off growing darker.Marros approached me, his face grim."Any sign of Kellan?""Not yet, but we have men searching everywhere.
