Lilith's POV

The underground tunnel was cold, dimly lit, and smelled faintly of gasoline and metal. I had to duck slightly as I descended the narrow staircase, my heels clicking against the concrete steps. The deeper I walked in, the louder the sounds became the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the distant hum of a generator, and Cassian’s voice humming to himself as he worked.

I immediately spotted him crouched beside one of his half-assembled bikes, a wrench in his hand and his shirt clinging to his back. His hair was messy, oil-streaked, and he looked like he hadn’t slept.

“You know,” I said, stepping into the open space, “normal people call before dropping by.”

Cassian didn’t look up immediately. “And since when were you normal?”

I rolled my eyes and leaned against a worktable. “Fair point.”

He finally turned to face me, smirking slightly when he saw my expression. “Hello Lilith, how are you? Woah, you look pissed.”

“I am.” I crossed my arms. “Theo came to see me today.”

  • Until She Was Theirs   Chapter 40

    Lilith's POV The night wind bit against my cheeks as we rode on Cassian’s bike, the city lights shrinking behind us. Nolan sat in front, hands steady on the handles, the hum of the engine vibrating through both of us. I clung to him, laughter bubbling out of me until I could hardly breathe.“Are you trying to get us arrested?” I shouted over the rush of air.He half-turned to look at me, grin wide under the blur of passing streetlamps. “You were the one laughing out loud enough for the cops to hear!”We sped down the nearly empty road, the neon streaks fading into open highway. I hadn’t realized how much tension had been wound up inside me until it burst free somewhere between the gala and the first turn of this escape. The cameras, Theo’s sneer, Selene’s smug little laugh gone, replaced by nothing but the wind and speed.When we finally slowed, the city was just a glow on the horizon. Nolan pulled off the main road and onto a narrower path lined with tall grass. The bike rolled to a

  • Until She Was Theirs   Chapter 39

    Nolan’s POVThe invitation was obviously pure politics, gold-edged and pretentious, the kind that screamed power plays and hidden daggers. Every year, the Astoria Grand Gala gathers together the city’s elites in one glittering room: businessmen, politicians, socialites, and parasites who feed on rumors and scandal alike.This year, I wasn’t attending for the deals. I was attending because Theo would be there with Selene. And because Lilith deserved to walk into that hall with her head held high, not as someone whispered about behind champagne glasses. I thought hard and long before sending her that invitation, Theo won't be able to hurt her, at least not in front of all these high profile men and whilst I will be there with her.My only concern and reason for inviting her over is to save her image in front of them, rather than them whispering and Theo feeding them lies. She needed to clear all the rumors that were going on about her, what's a perfect place than a gala filled with hi

    Theo’s POVI paced the length of my office, the city skyline glinting mockingly through the glass wall. My phone screen was lit with a dozen unread messages and none of them were good.Another investor had just pulled out.I slammed my phone on the table so hard the vibration rattled my coffee mug.“Unbelievable,” i muttered, pressing both of my palms against the sleek wooden surface. “Cowards. Every single one of them.”My assistant, Aaron, stood near the door, visibly uncomfortable, not like I cared if he was comfortable or not. “Sir, I…uh…tried calling Mr. Becker to reschedule the meeting. He said he is… no longer interested in continuing the deal.” “Becker too?”Aaron nodded timidly. “He said he is going to be switching partnerships. With… Nolan’s firm.”I turned to look at him properly. “What?!”Aaron flinched. “He said Nolan’s firm offered a better proposal and….”I cut him off with a sharp wave of my hand. “Better proposal my ass. Nolan doesn’t even have the infrastructure to

    Lilith's POVThe first thing I felt when I woke up was the ache in my head. A sharp, throbbing pain that pulsed right behind my eyes. The second thing I felt was the warmth, a solid weight beside me.I turned my head slowly, squinting against the morning light.Nolan.He was lying there, shirtless, one arm draped lazily over the pillow between us. The sheets were tangled, his hair a mess, his breathing steady.My heart nearly stopped.Memories came in flashes the wine, the words we exchanged, the kiss. The way he had looked at me lovingly. The way I had touched him like I’d been starving for it. My face burned hot.“Oh, God,” I muttered, sitting up quickly.The movement made my head spin. I pressed my palms against my temples, trying to piece the night together.I remembered crying. I remembered saying too much. And then… his lips. His hands. But not… everything. I was sure of that.I glanced down. My clothes were still on, rumpled but intact. Relief and confusion collided.What the h

    Chapter 35 Cassian's POVAnother text came through just after I left the house.Rogue:You might want to see this. Viper’s throwing a party at the old docks. Tonight.No context, no emojis, just a straight to the point kind of message that meant trouble. I did not even bother replying. I knew exactly what it meant.By the time I reached my bike, I already had my jacket on and my mind was completely made up.An eye for an eye. That is exactly how the streets worked.Viper had gone too far last time planting drugs on me, getting me arrested, trying to ruin everything Nolan and I had built. And now he was out there partying, bragging like he owned the night.Not for long anyways.The docks were alive when I got there loud music, flashing lights, people spilling out from the warehouse and onto the open lot. The smell of fuel, beer, and cigarette smoke hung thick in the air. Rows of bikes lined up like trophies under the glow of floodlights.Viper’s men were everywhere tattoos, leather, ar
