Worship Me, Duncan Chapter 21
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE— Aphrodite —They say you never forget your first love.I think that’s a lie.You forget.Eventually.You forget the kisses, the late-night promises, the trembling hand that first reached for yours.What you don’t forget—what stays—Are the moments when you thought you were finally safe.---Godric was safety, once.Before he became a curse, before his voice made my spine stiffen, before I forgot how to sleep without waking in guilt—he was everything.The boy with bloody fists and bruised ribs who pulled me away from hell.The boy who gave me his coat on a freezing night and told me, “No one touches you unless you want them to.”I was fifteen.And in that moment, I believed him more than I believed in God.---We starved together.Slept in alleyways.Fought for scraps.But we smiled, too.He made me laugh when I hadn’t in years.Taught me how to spit like a street kid, how to lie like a rich one.I gave him my first kiss.He gave me the only name that’s ever stuck—

CHAPTER TWENTY— Duncan —At first, I didn’t notice.Her silence felt like a gift. Like closure. Like the end of a nightmare I could finally learn to forget.But silence has a way of creeping in—slow, unsettling, clawing at the back of your mind when you think you’re finally moving on.Now it’s everywhere.She’s everywhere.Even though she’s nowhere.---Aphrodite Sivan is vanishing.Not dramatically.Not all at once.No headlines.No scandal.No rumors of a mental breakdown or drug addiction or public meltdown like the kind the press would salivate over.Just... nothing.She fades the way sunlight disappears during an eclipse. You don’t see it until it’s too late. Until you’re standing in the dark, wondering why you feel so cold.And the worst part?I hate that I noticed.---There used to be at least three or four stories about her a week.One about a dress she wore that broke the internet.One about her rumored new deal with some luxury brand.One about me.And always the same word

CHAPTER NINETEEN— Duncan —There was a time when I thought silence was peace.A moment of quiet in the chaos. A pause to breathe.But now I know better.Silence isn’t peace.It’s punishment.And I’ve been living in it ever since she disappeared.Ever since Aphrodite moaned another man’s name while I stood in her doorway like a fool—with a ring in my pocket and love in my chest.I should’ve died that night.And maybe I did.Because the man who walked away from her apartment?He’s not the same man who walked in.---The press won’t let it go.Duncan Moretti: Billionaire Heartbreak Turns Cold.The Ice King Returns—But At What Cost?Where Is Aphrodite Sivan Now?They still call her a goddess.They still use our names in the same sentences like we’re some Greek tragedy the world gets to watch unravel frame by frame.What they don’t know?There are no gods.Just monsters wearing perfume and smiling through your destruction.And I was the idiot who thought I could save her.---The headline

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN— Duncan —I didn’t cry again after that night.Not because I wasn’t broken.But because I was done bleeding.There’s a difference.Bleeding means you still want to live.I didn’t.Not the way I had before.---The first three days after I saw them, I barely moved.I laid on the floor of my apartment like some wrecked animal, surrounded by the debris of what used to be me. Broken glasses, empty bottles, the shattered ring box lying in the corner like a grave marker.Her scent still clung to my pillows.Her lipstick was still on one of my glasses.Everything felt infected with her.And I couldn’t breathe.Not without tasting her.---By the fourth day, something inside me cracked.It didn’t happen like a lightning strike. It didn’t come with screaming or a dramatic epiphany. It was quiet.Like the final ember of a fire dying out.I got up.Showered.Shaved.Put on a suit like I was dressing for my own funeral.And looked in the mirror.There was no grief in my reflecti

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN— Duncan —I should’ve walked away.Should’ve stayed on that rooftop and let her go—let them go—without looking back.But how the hell do you walk away from someone who just shattered you with silence?You don’t.You follow.Not because you don’t know the truth, but because you’re not ready to believe it.So I followed her.I followed them.Like a fucking idiot.---I drove like a madman.Didn’t even think about it. Didn’t question where I was going or why. Just… followed.Her scent was still on me.Her kiss still lingered on my mouth.I could still hear her laughing from hours ago—laughing in my kitchen, teasing me, crawling into my lap like she wanted me.Was that all a lie too?God, I didn’t want to know.But I had to.---Her apartment door was open.Fucking open.Not cracked.Not locked.Open like a stage, curtain drawn.My heart was pounding before I even stepped inside.Part of me was begging—please don’t, please don’t, please don’t.But I already knew.We alw
Worship Me, Duncan Chapter 16
CHAPTER SIXTEEN— Duncan —There’s a very specific kind of silence that lives inside hope.The kind that fills the room just before you ask a question that could change your life.The kind that lingers in the seconds before a woman like Aphrodite Sivan either breaks your heart—or makes it beat for something more.That silence surrounded me as I stood alone on the rooftop I’d rented for the night, clutching a ring box in my hand, watching the city lights blur beneath the soft, golden glow of the candles I had arranged just for her.Aphrodite once told me she didn’t believe in forever.That people always leave, and even when they stay, they don’t stay whole.But I didn’t care about forever. I just wanted her.In this life. In this body. In this moment.Even if she broke me after.---I’d spent days planning the proposal. Weeks picking out the ring. A cut that would shine the same way her eyes did when she was teasing me, when she let her guard down just enough to touch something real.I
