Roman’s brows furrowed, a low hum building in his throat. For a second, it seemed like he might explode, that flash of pride, that instinct to snap that no one told him what to do.

His lips parted, the words already forming.

But then his eyes drifted back to Elena.

The fight died there, quiet, defeated.

Her hair was still slightly disheveled, framing her face in soft tangles.

Her breathing had steadied into a fragile rhythm, her hand resting limply against the blanket.

Even asleep, she looked too pale, too fragile, yet something in her expression held a kind of quiet defiance.

Like even unconscious, she refused to lose.

Roman swallowed hard, his voice low when he finally spoke. “I’ll handle it.”

Dr. Harrow studied him for a moment before nodding. “Good.” He packed up his tools, glancing briefly at the monitors again. “Make sure she eats something as soon as she wakes. Broth, something light. And Roman…”

Roman looked up, waiting.

“Take it easy on her,” the doctor said, his tone gent

    Roman’s thumb brushed her shoulder absently, almost like he didn’t realize he was touching her while his mind spun. Elena was quiet now, resting against him, but he could feel, literally feel how tense her breathing was. He could feel her heartbeat. And it wasn’t calm at all.He swallowed hard and finally spoke. “Elena… about my rules.”She stiffened slightly, and he felt it.Roman exhaled slowly. “I was a jerk.”Her head tilted up just enough for him to see the faint smirk she tried to hide.“Just now figuring that out, Thorne?”He huffed a dry laugh, but he didn’t let the moment slide.“No,” he murmured. “I’ve known. But I didn’t want to admit it.”She rolled her eyes dramatically. “Go on. This apology better be good.”Roman ignored the sarcasm, even though he felt it tug at the corner of his mouth.“I hated that you didn’t care about me,” he admitted. “I hated that you weren’t scared of me. That you didn’t try to impress me. That you weren’t like everyone else who kissed the grou

    Elena didn’t know when the need hit her, only that it was sudden, sharp, and terrifyingly real.Roman kissed her again, slower this time, as if giving her room to change her mind.But she didn’t.She leaned in, fingers curling around his jaw, pulling him deeper.He felt it, her wanting.Her unguarded softness.Her surrender.And Roman, who had been holding himself back for days, finally broke.“Elena…” His voice was low, rough, almost a warning.She whispered back, breathless, “Don’t make me say it twice.”That was all it took.Roman’s restraint snapped.He guided her gently, carefully, toward the bed, his hands steady even though his body shook with the effort not to rush. Elena didn’t step away. Didn’t tease. Didn’t run.She followed his pull like she belonged there.When he reached for his shirt, she helped him, fingers brushing his skin, tentative at first, then bolder. His eyes darkened instantly. He watched her like she was something sacred and dangerous all at once.“Elena,”

    “…The entire internet is blowing up,” he finally said, voice dropping. “Someone leaked Harrow’s crimes. All of them. With evidence.”Elena’s eyes widened, and for the first time in a while, she looked genuinely shocked.“That wasn’t me.”“I know,” he muttered under his breath before he could stop himself.Because now his brain was catching up.There was only one other person who had the skill.One person who was furious.One person with motive.One person with the emotional connection.Jace.Roman exhaled sharply. But Elena didn’t know yet.She merely stared at him, processing everything, confusion shifting into suspicion.“…So someone defended me?” she asked quietly.Roman swallowed.“Yes.”“And you thought it was me.”He closed his eyes.“…Yes.”Elena leaned back against the pillow, expression unreadable.Outside, the storm raged.Neither spoke.Roman’s heartbeat was a riot.Elena’s mind was a mess.And between them hung the truth neither of them knew how to touch.Elena sat there,

    Jace posts the final blow.He hesitated before the last upload. This one… This one could start a war if anyone suspected it came from him or Elena.It was the reason she accepted the contract.A girl. Sixteen.Found dead two years ago.Case dismissed as “suicide.”The file showed Harrow’s involvement, and the threats he sent the girl’s grieving brother.Jace clenched his jaw.“She deserved justice. Elena did it for her.”He leaked it.And the internet exploded. THE WORLD TURNS. Every news outlet that had mourned the councilman began backtracking.Every reporter who had called Elena a monster… fell silent.People started demanding:“Why wasn’t this investigated?”“Why was Harrow protected?”“Who covered this up?”Jace watched the chaos unfold, heart pounding.He didn’t expose Elena. He didn’t expose himself. But he exposed the monster that everyone had painted as a saint.He leaned back, chest tight.“Let the world burn,” he whispered. “But not her. Never her.”Finally, people were st

    Roman leaned on the table, breathing hard through his nose.“She was attacked. She almost died. We almost died. And before she’s even healed, these idiots think they can sit behind screens and accuse my wife of murder?”His voice dropped to a cold whisper. “Not while I’m breathing.”Hale stood stiff, waiting for more instructions.Roman straightened, shoulders still tense. “And Hale, this is not a request. This is an order.”“Yes, sir.”Roman pinched the bridge of his nose, forcing his chest to steady.He wasn’t doing this for appearances.Not anymore.He was doing it because...Because the thought of Elena hearing these accusations made his stomach twist.Because the way she had collapsed earlier haunted him.Because even when she pushed him away… even when she pretended she didn’t care… he knew she was hurting.And somewhere beneath all the anger, the frustration, the confusion...He cared too damn much.He needed to clear his head before going back to her… or he would crumble the s

    Roman swallowed.God, she didn’t even realize she was hurting him. Or maybe she did, and didn’t care.He straightened, letting his own mask fall over his face.“I’m not here to lecture you.”“Good,” she muttered, laying her head back on the pillow as if dismissing him entirely.Roman hesitated… then rose slowly from the chair.He pretended it didn’t hurt.Pretended he didn’t care.Pretended her indifference didn’t feel like another wound he couldn’t stitch shut.“I’ll come back later,” he said quietly. “Try to rest.”“Mm,” she hummed. Not even looking at him.He reached the doorway.Paused.Looked back at her one more time.And the worst part?She didn’t look.Not even once.Roman shut the door behind him, his chest tightening as he forced himself to walk away... Pretending he wasn’t hurting.Pretending he wasn’t replaying every second of that kiss.Pretending he wasn’t falling in love with a woman who had built walls higher than his.The door closed with a soft click.Quiet.Too quie
