Arya's POV.

The cold air clawed at my skin as I sat bound to the a chair, my body aching in ways I had never known before. My arms were twisted behind me, my wrists bound so tightly with thick, scratchy rope that every movement sent a sharp, searing pain through my limbs. My legs were tied to the chair’s legs, and the rope around my ankles had rubbed the skin raw, sending a dull, relentless ache through my bones.

I had long since stopped trying to break free. The more I struggled, the tighter the restraints dug into my skin, and all it did was drain the last reserves of energy I had left. My body slumped forward slightly, weak and exhausted, my breaths shallow and uneven.

How long had I been here?

I wasn’t sure anymore. Time had melted into an agonizing blur. My mind was slipping between consciousness and unconsciousness, the hunger in my belly twisting into unbearable knots. My lips were dry, cracked from dehydration, and my throat burned from the countless times I had screamed for h

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter sixty eight.

    Arya's POV.A loud hysterical laughter suddenly blurted through his mouth, echoing all over the room.I tried to strain my eyes to at least, get a little glance at his face since a considerable amount of light had filtered into the room, but being in the darkness for the past few hours seemed to have punctured my eye lens making it seem as though I was staring into space despite how I hard I tried.But then, why does the voice sound so familiar? I mean, the darkness hasn't affected my ears too right?I quickly squeezed my eyes shut, taking in a deep breath, and remained still for a few seconds before snapping my eyes back open.That seemed to work as I started to make out a few things in the room, I got to realize that it wasn't a room but rather a warehouse, it was extremely large and empty, except for the few trashes littered around.Suddenly, the huge figure slowly squatted before me, bringing his face closer to mine, and peered into my face.A sharp gasp fled my mouth as I finally

    Lucas's POV. The car had barely halted to a stop as soon as I drove into the mansion before I quickly rushed down and practically ran into the house.... To my woman... My soon to be wife.The scent of fresh flowers lingered faintly... Arya's touch. She’d been so particular about the type of lilies she wanted placed in the hallway. White, with a tinge of blush.“Arya?” I called out casually, expecting her to pop out from the kitchen or maybe come down the stairs with that insanely beautiful smile that had become my new favorite sight. “I’m back, babydoll.”No response.Strange.I loosened the top buttons of my shirt, unbuckled my watch, and dropped my keys on the credenza. The silence in the house was unsettling. Not even the faint shuffle of her feet. Usually, she’d either be humming while preparing something, or laying in wait for me on the couch.“Arya?” I called again, this time louder, walking toward the kitchen. The lights were off, no sign of her. The living room? Empty. Her ph

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seventy.

    Arya's POVI had no idea how long I had been submerged in the darkness again, but it felt heavier this time... like a curtain of grief had dropped around me. My breath came in shallow hitches as I sat motionless, too exhausted to even cry anymore. The ropes bit deeper into my wrists, now raw and sore, and every movement stung like a warning. I had lost all sense of time. There was no ticking clock, no chirping bird, no shifting sunlight. Only silence. Only the heavy sound of my own breathing and the pulsing fear inside my chest.I had almost drifted into that numb space again... where time and pain no longer mattered.... when I heard the door creak open.My body tensed involuntarily. Footsteps echoed across the warehouse, slow and deliberate, the sound bouncing off the hollow walls. My desperate heart leapt in my chest with hope... but that hope withered quickly when I saw his shoe appear again.Martin.The man who used to be just a background character in my life... now stood before

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seventy one.

    Arya's POV.The silence in the dark room was unbelievable. Darkness lingered even though some light filtered in through a crack in the wall... it barely did anything to chase away the shadows inside me. I’d been here too long. Too long with nothing but my breath and my thoughts to keep me company.My eyes were sore from crying, and my wrists stung against the ropes, now slick with dried blood and sweat. I tried not to cry anymore...tears felt like a waste. But every time I remembered Lucas… every time I thought about him, about how he must be going out of his mind, my chest caved in again.Then I heard footsteps.That same gait. Slow, heavy, deliberate. My body went still. My heart paused for a second as the metal door groaned open.Martin.Ofcourse it's him. He didn’t look angry this time. His shoulders were slumped, his eyes… softer. Tired. Worn. Broken.He dragged a chair with a loud scrape across the dusty floor and sat in front of me. No mocking laughter. No bitter smirks. Just

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seventy two.

    Arya's POVMartin didn’t flinch. He just stood there, still and silent, like the storm had already passed through him. His fists hung limp by his sides, his breathing heavy but steady. He didn’t respond. He didn’t need to. Lucas’s words weren’t intended for a response. They were a performance. A declaration of superiority.Lucas took a step forward. “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue now that I’m here? Do you finally understand you’ll never win against me? And why are you letting her do the talking for you? What lies have you fed her about your pathetic self?”I felt my heart twist.No.Not like this.“Lucas, stop,” I said instinctively, my voice sharper than I intended. “Don’t do this.”He blinked, as though just realizing I was actually more concerned for Martin than being excited that he's come to save me. His eyes snapped to me, wide with confusion. “babydoll... “No.” I shook my head slowly, feeling the weight of my words before I spoke them. “Don’t say another word.”Silence eng

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter seventy four.

    Arya's POV.I finally found Hayes’s room after roaming around like a lost tourist in his family’s ridiculously large estate. My heart was still thudding in my chest...not from the brief panic of being lost... but from what I had just seen.Correction… who I had just seen.Hardin.God, that man. He wasn't just attractive. He was a walking storm wrapped in a towel and dripping confidence. And sin. Mostly sin. That body... how was it even legal to look that good in nothing but steam and shadows?I tried to scrub the image from my mind, but it was burnt into the back of my eyelids like a brand."Chloe!" Hayes screamed the second I stepped into his room, pulling me into a warm hug, burying his face into the crook of my neck.“There you are,” he said with a soft chuckle, “I was beginning to think you lost your way, you won't let me pick you up." I forced a laugh and hugged him back, though my arms felt stiff and slow. “Sorry, I got lost. This place is like a maze.”He pulled back to kiss m

    Arya's POV.I had been tossing and turning for over an hour in the guest bedroom Hayes had shown me to. The sheets were soft. The room was perfectly cool. Everything should have been ideal for sleep... except my mind wouldn’t stop replaying him.Hardin.The way he looked at me across that candlelit table. Like I was the only thing worth seeing in a room full of everything. The air between us had felt electric... like a live wire was thrumming under my skin every time he spoke.It wasn’t just what he said. It was how he said it. Like we were in on some shared secret… like he could see through my composure and into the chaos I was desperately trying to hide.I groaned and buried my face into the pillow.I was a terrible person.Hayes had kissed me goodnight like everything was normal. Like I wasn’t about to combust from the heat someone else had caused. I cared about Hayes. I did. He is safe, sweet, good.But good wasn’t what had me wide awake at nearly 1 am, biting my lip and rememberi

    Hailey’s POV.A week.Seven whole days since we moved.You’d think that might be enough time for me to at least unpack or open the blinds or look around the neighborhood. But no. I stayed in my room like it was a bunker and the rest of the world was at war. The most I did was drag myself to the kitchen for water or snacks, and even that felt like crossing enemy lines.I didn’t care about the house fridge or the stupid backyard with trimmed hedges that looked like they belonged in a brochure.I don't want any of that."Wakey wakeey, sunshine." Aiden's text was the first to wake me up. "Hey." I simply texted him. "Are you still pissed about moving?""Very much so.""C'mon, try to let it go, and enjoy the city." "But I won't be able to see you again." "What made you so sure that I lived in California and you could find me there?" That seemed to strike a bell. "I don't know, I just had a feeling." A knock suddenly came on the door before I could get his next message. “Hailey,” mom

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter hundred and thirteen.

    Hailey's POV.The plane had barely landed before I was itching to disappear. Not into a new place or new beginning like everyone kept saying... but to dissolve. Just vanish. Because arriving didn’t feel like an arrival at all.I clutched the strap of my backpack tighter, head down, ignoring everything, my parents. Everything . It all made me sick.The drive from the airport took another eternity. I didn’t care about the clean streets or the fact that the weather here was “nicer.” My chest ached like a balloon filled too tightly, ready to burst with the slightest jab.When we finally pulled up to the new house... big, modern, ugly in its perfection... I didn’t wait for anyone. I grabbed my duffel bag, ignored Dad’s attempt at a half smile, and walked straight in without a word.I stomped up the stairs, turning corners I wasn't used to, passing empty rooms and unfamiliar walls. I picked the room at the end of the hall just because it was farthest away from everyone. It didn’t matter

  • To Sin. To Moan. To Feel.   Chapter hundred and twelve.

    Hailey’s POV.The rain had started just as we left the house, the kind of rain that blurred everything... buildings, streets, even emotions. It matched the heaviness pressing against my chest as I sat in the back seat of the car, silent, still, and aching in ways I couldn’t yet explain. I didn’t say a word. I couldn’t.Outside, the familiar streets greeted me. Trees I used to race past on my bike stood tall and wet, their leaves seemed to be whispering silent goodbyes. Mr. Howard’s bookstore with the bell that never worked right, the little coffee shop where Marissa , Liam and I used to cram for tests and gossip over muffins too dry and coffee too bitter. Everything looked softer in the rain, like the city was crying with me.Mom glanced at me through the rearview mirror. She didn’t say anything either. Maybe she saw the tears that had started to slide down my cheeks. Maybe she didn’t. I didn’t bother to wipe them away.This was it. We were really leaving.Dad’s transfer came three w

    Third book alert!SEXT PARTNER.Hailey's parents moved to a new city due to job promotion and she transfers to a new school, only to discover that her secret sext partner was the hottest boy in school, and he was dating the hottest girl in school as well. She stood no chance of having him, but what if she was underestimating the intense hold she had over him. Chapter one."You know I'd really love to see you!" His text popped up on my phone just as I plopped down on the bed. "Well, I am not what you call the perfect lady!" I texted immediately. "I highly doubt that." His reply came and I chuckled to myself. Aiden and I bumped into each other in a weird app, exchanged numbers and have been keeping each other's company intimately, since then. We haven't met, neither have we seen each other. Our interaction was strictly over text and I think we are both okay with that. We are both 18 and in 12th grade."We will eventually see each other someday you know." He texted. "Yeah?" "Yes

    Chloe's POV. The moment I stepped out of the elevator and into the wide, glass paneled lobby of Hayes’s firm, I felt like I was trespassing on a dangerous ground.I continued to feverishly put one feet after another, my footsteps thumping in sync with the unease curling in my stomach. I hadn't seen Hayes in days. Not since... the party. Not since the bathroom. Not since he found out. My heart clenched at the thought.The receptionist looked up with a warm smile that faltered the second she recognized me.“Um... Miss Chloe. I’m not sure if Mr. Hayes is available”“Please.” My voice cracked, and I cleared my throat quickly. “Just let him know I’m here. I won’t stay long. I promise.”She hesitated, clearly torn between professional courtesy and the pitiful look on my face. Eventually, she picked up the phone and dialed.A moment passed. Then two.Finally, she looked up at me with an apologetic glance. “He said… he’s busy.”“I’ll wait,” I said stubbornly and sat on the plush leather couc

    Hayes's POV.I slowly opened my eyes trying to take in the environment but it posed a big threat, my eyelids were heavy and my head too.I squeezed my eyes back shut and relaxed, I didn't care about my environment anymore, it felt safe and conducive, not even the problems I was dealing with popped up in my head, I felt at peace.I suddenly felt a presence beside me, I assumed it was Chloe, she stirred and laid her head on my chest, snuggling deeper into me, and in turn, I wrapped my arms around her, in the process, I inhaled the scent of her hair and it sent an unexplainable calmness down my spine.It suddenly occurred to me that this is in no way Chloe's scent. And Chloe and I aren't even in a good place right now for her to be sleeping beside me. My nose suddenly caught her scent again, this time, my eyes popped open in shock.And to more shock, it was an unknown lady lying on my chest, looking closely, I suddenly realized that it was the lady from the club last night.What is she

    Hayes's POV.I dragged my feet frustratedly into the club and went straight to the bar section."A shot please," I said to the waiter.This will make it the second time that I will be in a buzzing underground club ready to soak myself with some really hot liquor, all for the sake of heartbreak.When am I ever going to learn huh?First it was Elisha, and now Chloe. What exactly have I done to deserve this? Have I not been loving enough? Is there something that I am not doing right? It hurts because I truly loved Chloe more than I have ever loved another woman. She really held a place in my heart. Why did she have to hurt me like this when all I have ever done was to love her unconditionally. It hurts more because despite how hard I was trying to shut her out, somehow, I just couldn't and it was infuriating the hell out of me.I should hate her, I should shut her out and cast her away from my life for hurting me so bad, but somehow, all I could think of was her wellbeing, I couldn't s

I had made this mess.So I stood stubbornly by the curb, trembling, refusing Hardin’s extended hand and barely meeting his eyes when he called my name with that low, frustrated murmur.“Chloe, let me at least make sure you get home safe.”I shook my head furiously. “No. Just… just go, Hardin.”He exhaled, jaw clenched, torn between anger and concern.

    Chloe's POV. My lipstick was smudged, my breath still uneven as I leaned over the sink, trying to steady myself. The mirror was an unkind witness. My cheeks flushed, mascara slightly smudged at the corners, lips red and swollen. I looked like every dirty thought I ever denied having.Behind me, Hardin buttoned his shirt slowly, each motion dragging across my nerves. His eyes lingered on me through the mirror. That damned smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth again, smug and amused.“You okay?” he asked, his voice low and still laced with satisfaction. He came up behind me, placing both hands on my hips, pressing a kiss just under my ear.I nodded too quickly, still caught in the haze. “Yeah. I… I just need a second.”A second to pretend none of it happened.A second to forget that I had just betrayed someone who loved me enough to make me his girlfriend, Someone who...
