My world did a long blink. It felt like my skull sprouted extra eyes just to watch it collapse. My lungs clocked out on me, my heart unhooked itself and sprinted for an exit I didn't have.

My eyes went saucer-wide as I looked up at him, praying I'd misheard the universe.

"No." It slipped out on a breath and a shake of my head. "Blayne, you can't—"

"It's already done, love." His hand slid into my hair, threading gently like he was combing a pet he'd just sold. "The money has been wired. Gold has

    RALI The hall was a little noisy.Everyone wanted to shake hands with us, say their congratulations. Not having the crowd I wanted didn't mean the hall was close to empty. Vlyrissa had a lot of friends to invite. She claimed she needed people to witness her daughter's wedding, just as she had witnessed theirs.Then, Veronica and Ruby had a few acquaintances to invite over as well. Marovelle and her family were present as well.The hall wasn't filled with numbers; it was filled with love. I realized I wouldn't have traded it for anything else in the world."Mr. And Mrs. Belmonte," Vlyrissa called, approaching us just as we finished greeting another cluster of guests. Her smile glowed. "Congratulations, once again.""For the third time, thank you," I replied with a playful roll of my eyes.She laughed, then turned to Dominic. Her gaze lingered on him for a brief, unreadable second before she stepped forward and pulled him in a hug.Woah...Dominic hesitated for some seconds before

    RALIThe morning felt unreal; like I was moving through a dream I'd accidentally walked into.Today felt too big, too bright, too soft for someone built out of scars and half-healed memories like me.Every blink felt like I might wake up in another life where none of this was mine. I kept touching my chest, my arms, even the thin fabric of the dress, just to remind myself that today was happening."My God, the dress is perfect! I knew this would look good on you, my lady," Veronica said, adding a bow that finally wrung a laugh out of me.Ruby rushed in with the pair of earrings she was insisting I wear. She fixed them on me while I looked at my reflection in the mirror."Yes! I knew this would be the best fit." She turned to Veronica. "Can you see I was right?"Veronica rolled her eyes.I held my breath, puffed my cheeks and looked into the mirror. A lady with a white flowing dress, holding a bouquet stared back at me. She looked tensed. Dreamy.I couldn't believe this was me. C

    RALI"I think this one is better," Ruby said, holding up the red heels."Please. She isn't trying to go into a coven is she? Her dress is already red. The heels need contrast," Veronica countered."But her dress isn't entirely red.""Red still dominates.""You know what your problem is, Veronica? You're terrible when it comes to color. It's a good thing you're focusing on law and not fashion because that'd have been a disaster."I sat there on the couch, watching helplessly as my two best friends argued over the shoes I was to use at my reception.This was really happening.In the end, I decided to go for both options the two girls choose, telling them I'd make a decision on that day.They grumbled in unison but accepted defeat.A little later, while Ruby wandered off to terrorize another rack, I pulled Veronica to the side."Hey, fiancee. You good?" She narrowed her eyes at me suspiciously."Yeah. Just been really anxious about the whole thing.""Mm. I get it. But there's nothing

    He opened the box, stared down at the ring and chuckled. The bastard had a charming smile. I only disliked it 'cause he used it mostly when he had mischievous plans.Touching his jaw thoughtfully, he murmured, "If you insist."Then he went down on one knee.My heart seemed to drop with him. Shit, when did the air get this hot?He plucked out the ring, holding it up as he held my gaze. "Rali Hayes, you're getting married to me. So, say yes so I can slip the ring on."My heartbeat echoed loud and reckless inside my chest.All my life, I'd prayed for a Mr. Right. A responsible man with a nine-to-five job. A man who'd come home tired, loosen his tie, and talk over coffee about ordinary things.I never imagined it would be him. An unsympathetic killer. A man feared by men the world feared.And yet, standing here, staring at him on one knee, I realized something terrifyingly simple—No version of Mr. Right could ever give me the kind of fire he did.Void was far from perfect. But the way he

    "Great!" I answered too fast.She gave me a long, knowing look."What? It's all I've ever wanted. He just...forced this whole stuff on me."I I folded my hands in my lap and turned to the window. I tried to picture him with someone else. I imagined him holding her the way he did me; imagined him bonding and fucking her the same way he did me in bed. The images...well, it stung a little."Seriously, Zerali? You still believe you're with the Torturer because he forced himself on you? You told me how quickly it was for you to love him as Dominic. You didn't know he was the Torturer then, and you fell willingly. Shouldn't that tell you you actually love this guy on your own, not just because he forced himself on you initially?"Images of him as Dominic played behind my eyes. I remembered how pure and interesting our friendship had been, remembered how he brought me out of my shell and made me do things I didn't think I'd be able to do again.She was right on that one; I'd loved him on my

    She dipped her head and laughed. I was curious to know what was so funny. Maybe I'd laugh too.Then she looked back up, frowning. "Hold on, you're not joking?""Haven't added comedian to my profession.""Void! How're we getting married? I mean—" she laughed again. "Oh, my God. You're actually serious."She looked back at the building, then at me. "Well, this is insane. The nerves of you to think you can just bring me here to shop for our wedding. What wedding?"She was making it sound like a joke. Something cracked in my head. It came with an almost overwhelming urge to grab her throat, slam her against the car and make her scream.She must see the threat in my eyes because her smile collapsed instantly and she took a hurried step back.Her hands flew up in agitation before slamming down at her sides "Y—You don't even know if I want to get married!""Why wouldn't you? We're spending the rest of our lives together. Might as well stamp it official.""Void—""I don't really give a shit a
