HAZEL STYLES POV "What are you going to do" Lena asked, her voice cutting through my thoughts. I turned to face her and then let out a sigh as I rubbed my hand over my face."I don't know, Lena" I answered, then sighed as I glanced around. "I just feel so tired honestly. It's like I can never catch a break no matter how hard I try," I choked out, then shook my head as tears welled up In my eyes. "I understand. These past few months have been really crazy"But it wasn't just crazy. Everything was literally messed up. It was like every time I had something good going for me, tragedy struck and took it all away. It's always been that way. On the night of my birthday, I lost my parents, then I almost got killed by a stalker as my art career started to kick off, and now I was separated from Riven just after I made up my mind to be with him. It was like each time I managed to take a step forward, I ended up taking two steps back.When was it all going to bloody end?I met Lena's gaze and

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "Killing Julian was Riven's job," Father said, his gaze boring into those of Ethan. "You have never been capable of doing a clean job, so why the hell did you do something this impulsive. Because of you, that bastard escaped""I'm sorry" he apologized, his head bowed and his hands clasped behind his back. "I saw an opportunity and took it. Yes, Julian got away, but at least I was able to kill Asher. That counts for something right"I watched Ethan. There was something off about him. I noticed it for a while but didn't put a mind to it because he was family, but now, it gnawed at me. There was something different about him. It was like the dark nature he struggled so hard to hide was finally coming up to the surface and making him act out of character.Father let out a growly sigh, then met my gaze. "All this is happening because of your little rebellion, Riven. If you hadn't let that woman get into your head, none of this would have been happening"I smirked. "I t

HAZEL STYLES POV "This space suits you," Ethan said as he looked around the office, then he walked toward the floor to the ceiling windows that overlooked the city, his eyes lighting up as he took in the scenery in front of him. "It's such a beautiful view too"I nodded, watching him and wondering why he was there. Did Riven send him? My heart drummed hard in my chest. It had been beating that way since the moment my Assistant told me that BlACKWOOD had fixed an appointment to see me. I had initially thought it was Riven, but it turned out to be Ethan Blackwood.If Ethan was here instead of Riven, then it couldn't be for something positive. Was he here to give me Riven's farewell message, or was he here to tell me to stay away from Riven and never show my face since he was engaged now?I gripped the edge of my seat, my throat moving as I waited for him to say something."How do you get any work done with such a view, huh?" he asked as he turned to face me. "I always have my blinds

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "Haz—" I started to call her name, but she looked away, increased her pace, and got into her car; then she turned on the ignition, pulled out of the parking lot, and drove past me, her gaze fixed on the road. She didn't so much as glance in my direction no matter how hard I willed it. Roaring sounds filled my ears as I watched her car disappear out of sight, a wave of dread filling up my chest and making it difficult to breathe."Riven? Are you alright" Keira asked, her voice shattering through the terror that had me in its chokehold.My gaze met hers, and a flicker of fear crossed her face, but she didn't let go of my hand. "What's wrong? You look a bit off."I pushed her back and she gaped at me, her brows furrowing."Riven?""What are you doing here, Keira"She snorted, then crossed her arm. "What kind of question is that? I came here to see you. You've been avoiding me since the night of the conference. We are engaged now, Riven, don't you think we should spe

HAZEL STYLES POV I was frozen. I knew I should be screaming and running to save my life, but my legs refused to move. How the hell did he get in here? What happened to all the alarm systems that had been put in place, and where were the night guards that patrolled the house?He moved towards me with predatory grace, each step he took a drumbeat against my racing heart.He lifted his hand to his lips, the black and white mask he wore, ominous.He was telling me not to make a sound.I nodded once, my lungs closing up. It was too late to scream anyway and defying his order was only going to lead to more problems. Lena was probably asleep right now so that meant she was safe in her room. If I shouted and she came down...I didn't want to imagine what could happen.My heavy breathing filled the space as he stopped to regard me quietly, his head cocking to the side as if he was contemplating something. What was he going to do? When was he going to lunge for me?I couldn't look away, but In
