เข้าสู่ระบบMy heart raced wildly as he leaned in, his warm breath brushing my ear. "The next time I see you kiss anyone else..." he whispered, his voice dark and lethal, " I'll make sure these pretty lips of yours are stitched shut." He wasn't supposed to care. I wasn't supposed to matter. But one kiss was all it took to turn control into obsession. I'm bound to him by a dangerous deal, living on the edge of fear and desire, never quite sure where the line is, or if it ever existed at all. Mr. Hanson is cold, powerful, and terrifyingly possessive. He thrives on control, and he hates how I slip through his fingers no matter how tightly he grips me. Every touch feels like a warning. Every breath between us feels like a threat. As fear, power, and longing blur into something I no longer recognize, I'm forced to decide how far I'm willing to go to survive a man who doesn't just want my obedience. He wants my silence. My loyalty. My heart. Because with him, love isn't gentle. It's a weapon.
ดูเพิ่มเติมCLOVER'S POV My gaze snapped to the curtains whipping wildly in the wind that poured through the cracked-open window. This was my room in my stepfather's mansion. Walls thin enough that voices carried down the hall and family and strangers were sleeping just doors away. If someone heard. "Hey, eyes on me, Lovie," Calhoun murmured, fingers gentle but insistent as they tilted my chin back to him. The moment our eyes locked, the rest of the world faded, the storm outside, the risk of being caught...none of it mattered. His stare was dark, hungry, and entirely mine. I let my eyes drift shut as his mouth claimed mine again. The kiss was slow at first, almost reverent, like he was memorizing me. Then it deepened, his tongue slid against mine, coaxing soft gasps from my throat as heat flooded every inch of me. Our breaths mingled, hot and ragged; his lips were firm, demanding, tasting faintly of the red wine from dinner. Every time I tried to breathe, he chased me, angling
CLOVER'S POV: After dinner, everyone retired to their rooms, everyone except us, of course. Jessica, Kiera, and I were enjoying some much-needed girl time on the terrace, even as the rain continued to pour and thunder rumbled in the distance. We gossiped about random, insignificant things and people, laughing under the shelter of the wide overhang. “So guys, my ex and I made up yesterday…” Kiera announced, winking at us playfully. “So I’m thinking of torturing him, you know?” “By torture, you mean with knives and needles, right?” Jessica asked, a deep frown etched on her face as she turned her gaze away from the stormy sea to stare at Kiera. Oh no… these two. One was wildly inappropriate, and the other was hilariously innocent. They had zero ability to read between the lines. Kiera was clearly hinting at something sexual and teasing, while Jessica had immediately jumped to psychological or physical torture. I quietly watched them banter back and forth, amused by their complete
CLOVER'S POV:8:00 PMThe rain that had been pouring nonstop since noon showed no signs of letting up. This kind of weather usually had me curled up in bed, cuddling my pillows and comforter, but tonight was different.I stood in front of the mirror, turning slightly from side to side, a satisfied smile tugging at my lips. I looked good, really good. The sleek black silk gown with its daring V-neckline hugged my body perfectly, sleeveless and elegant, paired with my favorite strappy stilettos. My hair was styled in a low, voluminous bun that gave me just the right touch of sophistication.I hadn’t dressed to impress tonight, I had dressed to kill.Every deliberate choice was made with one person in mind, to catch a certain man’s undivided attention.I took a deep breath as I stepped out of my room. Even from the hallway, I could already hear the loud chatter and clinking of cutlery drifting from the dining hall. I was late again...Tonight’s dinner wasn’t in the garden as usual; it
CLOVER'S POVAs the driver pulled over smoothly at the family ancestral graveyard, he immediately stepped out and opened the door for me with practiced courtesy, offering a steady hand to help me navigate the uneven ground.Shit, I was late...Today was Raquel's burial, the official funeral day. I had deliberately skipped the church service earlier, feigning lingering weakness from the hospital, but missing the actual graveside ceremony entirely would raise too many suspicious eyebrows...It turned out that Raquel had been assassinated, targeted by a rival gang she was deeply entangled with, from what the hushed rumors and police reports suggested.I didn't know all the gritty details, and frankly, I didn't want to. But from what little had leaked out... the wicked old granny had apparently been far more than just a controlling matriarch. She had secretly run an entire underground drug-dealing operation for years, pulling strings from the shadows even in her later age.Perhaps her
