~Zella's POV~I stood outside his door in my bathroom robe and slippers and thought about what kind of person I had become.A specific kind, apparently. The kind who told a man to stop touching her, meant it completely, and then stood outside his house thirty seconds later in nightwear at nine o'clock because a woman named Margaret had said *a lady* and something inside her had short-circuited entirely.I needed to go b

Chapter 42: Punishment~Zella Pov ~"This is my apartment," I said, my voice steadier than my body felt. "How do you get in?"He didn't answer immediately. He just sat there in the dark chair, looking at me the way a predator looks at something that's walked directly into its territory."Where are you coming from with the clothes I sent to you at this hour, Zella?" His voice was cold. Precise. The temperature dropped in the room simply from the way he spoke.I froze."I... I...""Come here."It wasn't a request. I walked toward him, my legs unsteady for reasons that had nothing to do with the drugs in my system. His eyes scanned my entire body as I approached, and I watched him register exactly how small the dress was. How much it revealed. How perfectly it displayed what he'd already claimed."You wore the clothes I sent to you to another man?" he demanded. The words came out like an accusation, like a

Chapter 41: Waiting in the Dark~zella pov ~"What?" Callum leaned closer, the noise of the restaurant swallowing half the words. "What did you say?"I looked at him across the candlelit table and made a choice."I remember now," I said smoothly. "I placed an order for some clothes a week ago and they told me what I wanted had finished and they'd send something else instead. I didn't check the new clothes when they arrived and my mind wasn't there either."The lie came out perfectly. No hesitation. No crack in the voice. Just a practical explanation for an expensive dress that had appeared on my doorstep like a summons. I delivered it the way I'd learned to deliver things confidently, without apology, with the specific ease of someone who had practiced lying to people she cared about.Callum nodded, accepted it without question, moved on to his soup with the easy trust of a man who had no reason to disbelieve me.I sat a

Chapter 40: The Dress~Zella Pov ~I opened the bag inside the flat.Tissue paper first, layers of it, expensive and careful, the kind of wrapping that cost money. Beneath it, the dress.Pink. Not quite pink, somewhere between pink and blue, that specific luxury colour that didn't have a proper name, just existed as an aesthetic choice. It was small. Short. The kind of dress that looked like nothing on a hanger and everything on a body. I pulled it out and held it up to the light coming through the window.It was screaming expensive.Beside it, a shoe box. Heels. Delicate, strappy, the kind of thing you wore when you wanted someone to notice your legs. A bag, small and structured, in the same impossible pink-blue. And jewellery, a thin gold bracelet, earrings that caught the light like water.Everything coordinated. Everything chosen with the specific precision of someone who understood aesthetics.This was Callum saying *I want you to be beautiful tonight*. This was Callum saying *I

Chapter 39: Waiting~ Zella Pov ~I went back to my desk.Not immediately. I stood in the hallway for approximately forty-five seconds, letting my breathing return to something resembling normal, letting my body stop doing the things it had been doing, letting my mind catch up to the fact that I had just been told I belonged to someone and had found the thought entirely too appealing.Then I straightened my dress. Checked my reflection in the glass of a dark window. Looked vaguely professional. Opened the office door and walked back in like I'd been checking emails instead of having my entire internal structure reorganized by a man who hadn't even needed to touch me to do it.Sienna was waiting with the file still under her arm, her expression perfectly neutral, the specific professionalism of someone who had worked in this environment long enough to hear nothing and see nothing and certainly not notice that my blouse was half-buttoned or that I was moving like someone who had just be

Chapter 38: Belong~Zella Pov~I couldn't answer him.Not because I didn't know the truth. Because the truth was carved into my body from New Year's Eve, branded into my skin across a month in Paris, written into every breath I took around him.Yes. Always yes.His forehead was still against mine. His hand was still on my face, and I felt it, that familiar pull that had started in the London rain and hadn't stopped since, wouldn't stop, had become as essential to my body as blood."Zella," he said, his voice low. Patient. The voice of a man who already knew the answer and was simply waiting for me to admit what we both knew was true."We can't," I whispered. But my hands were already moving to his shirt, the same shirt I'd memorized in the dark of a penthouse, the same fabric I'd gripped in Paris while my body did things my mind couldn't process. "We said...""Say it again.""We can't." My fingers found buttons. "Sienna. The building. This is work and Brynn is...""Say it like you me

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN : Tomatoes~Zella's POV~Turns out being Evander's estate manager meant seeing Evander constantly.I had not fully thought this through.Every file needed his sign-off. Every decision above a certain threshold went through him. Every contractor query that Sienna hadn't covered in the handover and there were several required a conversation with the man himself. By noon on my first day I had been in and out of his office three times and my face had been doing the tomato thing for approximately four hours straight.Sienna noticed on the fourth trip.She fell into step beside me in the corridor, file under her arm, reading something on her phone, and without looking up said... "Are you okay?""Fine." I kept walking."You go red every time you're about to go in there." She glanced at me sideways. "Cheeks, neck, the whole thing.""It's warm in this building.""It's January in Scotland.""I run hot."She stopped walking. I stopped too."Don't be scared of him," she sa
