Chapter 60 – The Realization

last update Last Updated: 2025-12-31 15:03:58

Eve

My throat is on fire.

It’s the first thing I register. Not the light filtering through the heavy curtains, not the cold emptiness of the bed sheets beside me. Just the burn. A throbbing, heated ring around my neck that pulses with every beat of my heart.

I blink my eyes open, staring at the ceiling.

For a second, the memory of last night crashes over me like a tidal wave. The weight of him. The absolute, unhinged fury in his eyes. The way his hand clamped down, cutting off my air, cutting off the world, until there was nothing left but him.

Dominik. And his confession that I’m the only one for him. A confession I wrung out of him with sheer determination.

I reach out, my hand sweeping across the mattress, finding it empty and cold.

He’s gone.

A normal woman would be shaking. A normal woman would be curled in a fetal position, sobbing, dialing the police if she had access to a working phone, or packing a bag to run as far as her legs could carry her.

I don’t feel the urge to do any

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 59 – The Unspoken Vow

    DominikSilence descends, thick and heavy, broken only by the ragged sound of my own breathing. I’m still buried deep inside her, my body shuddering with the last violent tremors of my release, but the blinding haze of rage and lust has abruptly cleared, leaving behind a stark, chilling clarity.Eve is utterly still beneath me. Limp. Her head is lolled to the side, dark hair plastered to her sweat-slicked temple. Her eyes are closed, lashes dark crescents against skin that’s gone unnervingly pale. And around her throat, stark and brutal against the pallor, are the distinct, darkening impressions of my fingers.My blood runs cold.What the fuck did I just do?I experience a profound, system-jarring shock at the absolute loss of control I just experienced. I, Dominik Grimaldi, who orchestrates violence with the precision of a surgeon, who never acts out of pure, blind rage, just choked my wife into unconsciousness during sex because she wouldn't verbally submit to my will. Because her

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 58 – Unbreakable

    EveThe words rip from my throat, raw and broken, torn out by a tide of sensation so overwhelming it obliterates thought, shatters pride, and leaves only the screaming, undeniable truth of my physical surrender. He slams into me the instant the confession leaves my lips, burying himself deep, the brutal force of his claim stealing the last vestiges of my control, pinning me not just physically, but emotionally. It's not just sex. It's a branding, a physical inscription of his ownership onto my very soul, sealing the verbal capitulation he just extracted.He pins me to the bed, his weight heavy and absolute, a mountain of furious muscle and unyielding will. The remnants of the emerald gown is bunched painfully under my back, the heavy velvet rough against my skin, the diamonds at my throat digging into my flesh like cold, indifferent teeth. None of it matters. There is only the relentless, punishing rhythm of his body moving inside mine, the raw friction, the agonizing pleasure that

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 57 – War in the Sheets

    Dominik"A price you will pay. Now."The words echo in the charged silence of the suite. Her eyes widen slightly, the last vestiges of her defiant anger momentarily overshadowed by a flicker of genuine fear. She knows the shift has happened. The verbal sparring is over. The physical reckoning begins.I don’t give her time to think, to brace herself. My control, already frayed thin by her open defiance, snaps completely. I surge forward, closing the small space between us in a single stride. My hands find her hips, fingers digging into the soft flesh beneath the heavy velvet, lifting her effortlessly off her feet.She cries out, a startled sound, her hands automatically flying to my shoulders for balance. I turn and slam her back against the nearest wall, the impact knocking the breath from her lungs. Before she can recover, my mouth is on hers, hard and punishing.It’s not a kiss. It’s an assault of lips and teeth. A raw, brutal claiming meant to silence her, to erase the taste of he

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 56 – The Accusation

    EveI stumble forward from the force of his shove, catching myself on the edge of a velvet armchair before I fall to the floor. My heart pounds against its prison of bone, feral and unrestrained. Adrenaline sings through my veins, a high, sharp counterpoint to the dread pooling low in my stomach. I just publicly challenged the most dangerous man I know, and now the bill is due. And still, the biggest part of me, doesn’t feel an ounce of regret. I’m terrified, but I’m not sorry.I turn slowly, forcing myself to face him. Dominik stands by the door, his back to it, a dark, imposing silhouette against the polished wood. The only light comes from the moon outside the vast windows, casting long, distorted shadows across the room, leaving his face partially obscured. The stillness radiating from him is more terrifying than any overt threat. It’s the calm of a predator assessing its cornered prey, deciding precisely where to strike first.His gaze sweeps over me, cold and clinical, stripp

  • Unholy Matrimony   Chapter 55 – Claiming his Queen

    DominikParity.The word hangs in the air between us, completely overshadowed by the other statement she made. ‘If you ever decide you need a whore on the side… I will take a lover of my own.’For a split second, the world goes silent. The Vivaldi, the clinking glasses, the low hum of a hundred conversations, it all vanishes, replaced by the roar of blood in my ears. My vision tunnels, focusing solely on her face. On the defiant tilt of her chin, the fire in her hazel eyes.Shock hits first, cold and sharp. No one speaks to me like this. No one dares. Especially not here, in the heart of my territory, surrounded by allies and enemies alike. Then disbelief. Did she actually just equate her fidelity, bought and paid for with her father's life, with mine? Did she just threaten me, Dominik Grimaldi, with adultery?The disbelief evaporates, consumed by a rage so cold, so absolute, it feels like my blood has turned to ice water. Fury washes the residual warmth of the scotch from my system
