Chapter 22: Slow Poison and Burning ObsessionSera’s POVI sat at the small table in Raven’s apartment, my fingers trembling as I traced the rim of my wine glass. The city lights outside blurred into streaks of white and gold, but my mind was sharper than ever.“I can’t just leave,” I whispered, more to myself than to Raven. “Not without consequences.”Raven leaned against the counter, her dark eyes piercing through me. She wasn’t the type to sugarcoat things. “Then don’t leave. Destroy him instead.”I let out a breath, shaking my head. “You make it sound so easy.”“It is easy, Sera.” She walked toward me, placing her hands on the table, forcing me to meet her gaze. “Ethan thinks he owns you. He thinks you’ll always be under his control. Prove him wrong.”My heart pounded. I had already begun laying traps—money moved to secret accounts, fake lipstick stains on his clothes, suspicious messages on his phone. I had started chipping away at his sanity, but it wasn’t enough.I needed him w

Chapter 24 – The Breaking PointSera’s POVThe morning after was suffocating.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, Ethan’s scent still clinging to my skin like a cruel reminder of my failure.I let him win last night.I let him have control.But not anymore.My body ached from his touch, from the violence of it, from the way he had tried to claim me. But I wasn’t the woman he thought I was anymore.I turned my head slightly, watching him sleep beside me, his breathing deep and steady. He looked so peaceful—so disgustingly at ease.How could he sleep so soundly after everything? After the war we’d waged on each other?A slow rage built in my chest.I wanted him gone.I wanted to erase him from existence.And I knew exactly how.Ethan’s POVThe smell of coffee and something sweet drifted through the house, pulling me from sleep.I stretched, wincing at the scratches down my back.Sera had fought me last night, and I had loved every second of it.She still belonged to me, whether she ad

Chapter 26 – Sins in the DarkSera’s POVThe weight of Ethan’s gaze pinned me in place. He stood by the bar, swirling the whiskey in his glass, his sharp eyes scanning me like a predator stalking its prey.“I was wrong,” I whispered, my voice trembling just enough to sound believable.He tilted his head, intrigued. “About?”I swallowed hard. “Everything.”His lips curled into a slow, knowing smirk. “Say it, Sera.”I forced myself to hold his gaze. “I choose you.”He took a slow step forward, placing his glass on the table. “Prove it.”I knew what he wanted.What he needed.He didn’t just want my words.He wanted my submission.So, I gave it to him.---Ethan’s POVI watched her drop her defenses, her lips parting slightly, her breathing uneven.I had broken her.Tamed her.She knew there was no escaping me.And now, she was coming back where she belonged.To me.I grabbed her wrist, yanking her against me, my fingers tangling in her hair as I tilted her head back. “You’re mine, Sera.”

Chapter 28 – The Fall That Should Have Ended ItSera’s POVThe penthouse was suffocatingly silent, the dim glow of the city skyline casting eerie shadows against the marble floor. My pulse pounded in my ears as I stood near the balcony, my fingers curling into tight fists. Tonight was the night. No more hesitation. No more fear.Ethan sat on the sleek leather couch, his broad shoulders relaxed as if he hadn’t just spent the past few weeks tormenting me. A crystal glass of whiskey dangled from his fingers, the liquid swirling lazily as he took a slow sip. His dark eyes never left me.“Drink?” he offered, swirling the amber liquid. His voice held that infuriating arrogance, as if he still had control over me. “We both know you need it.”I smirked, but there was no humor behind it. “I don’t need anything from you anymore.”His jaw clenched slightly, but the smirk remained. “You always say that, Sera.” He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “And yet, here you are. Still stand

Chapter 30 – Silencing CelesteSera’s POVCeleste Deveraux had just made the biggest mistake of her life.I sat on the edge of my bed, my fingers tapping rhythmically against my knee as I tried to think. The accusation wasn’t just dangerous—it was calculated. Celeste knew exactly what she was doing.Ethan may have been dead, but his influence still clung to this city like a stain that wouldn’t wash out. And if Celeste was making this move, it meant someone else was behind her.“I’ll handle it,” Raven said, pacing the room.I looked up at her. “And what exactly does handling it mean?”Raven’s smirk was sharp. “I have my ways.”I knew what that meant. Raven had contacts—people who could make Celeste disappear if necessary.But something about this felt off. Killing Celeste outright wasn’t the answer. Not yet.“We need to know who’s backing her first,” I said, my voice firm. “If she’s doing this for money, there’s someone bigger pulling the strings.”Raven sighed, rolling her eyes. “Fine
