Chapter 299~I'm coming Jaxx

Elena's Point Of ViewThe sea-foam green silk felt like liquid ice against my skin… expensive, weightless, and suffocating all at once. I sat frozen in front of the ornate vanity mirror, staring at the woman looking back at me.She barely resembled the person I remembered being. Her hair was swept up, her skin pale as bone china, and her eyes were wide, shadowed with a terrifying blend of exhaustion and adrenaline. I hardly recognized the stranger staring back. In my right hand, held so tightly my knuckles bled white, was the tiny paper packet Lillian had handed me. Three blue pills. Three tiny keys to my freedom, or my absolute ruin. I turned the packet over once, twice, feeling the weight of the decision pressing down on my chest like a stone. One pill for eight hours of sleep. Two for a deep coma. My breath caught in my throat, a dry, jagged sound. I placed two of the small blue tablets on the cold polished surface of the vanity, my fingers trembling as I set them down. My hands

Chapter 300~ You Never Seem To Amaze Me

Elena's Point Of ViewThe heavy brass key ring, slick with my own nervous sweat, pressed cold and sharp against my palm. I gathered the voluminous skirts of the sea-foam green gown in my left hand, pulling the expensive silk high above my ankles so it wouldn't whisper against the flagstones as I sprinted through the darkened wing of the estate.Every footstep felt too loud, every breath too ragged, as if the very walls might betray me. My heart pounded so violently I feared it might give me away before my feet ever did. Think, Elena. Remember. My mind flashed back to four hours ago, right after Lillian had dressed me. I had leaned against the heavy oak dresser, pressing a hand to my forehead, making sure my breathing sounded ragged and faint, rehearsing the lie until it felt almost true. I had practiced the tremor in my voice in the mirror, hating how easily deception came to me now, how quickly I had learned to wear fear like a costume. "Lillian?" I had asked, letting my voice cra

Chapter 301~ The Illusion Of Victory

Elena's Point Of ViewMy pulse thundered in my ears like a war drum, every drop of blood in my body turning to sheer, liquid ice. No. No, no, no. A sickening wave of nausea rolled over my stomach. The realization hit me like a physical blow, heavy and crushing. It had been too easy. The fork, the powder, the quiet hallway, the abandoned post… God, I had been so proud of myself down in the dark, thinking I had played him like a fool.But Graham wasn't a fool. He was a predator, and I had walked right into a cage he had built specifically for me. Every step of my supposed cleverness had been another thread in a web I hadn't even known I was weaving for myself. Before I could even process the horror curling in my gut, Jaxx moved. Despite his torn muscles, despite his cracked ribs that must have felt like shattered glass, he didn't hesitate. He grabbed my arm and shoved me gently but firmly behind his back, throwing his own beaten, bloodied frame directly between me and the open doorw

Chapter 302~ I Love Jaxx

Elena's Point Of View"Don't tell me..." Graham breathed, his voice barely audible now, terrifyingly cold, each word measured like a blade being drawn slowly from its sheath. "...you love him?" The words hung in the subterranean air like a poison mist, dense and suffocating, seeping into every crevice of the vault until I could taste them on my tongue. My entire body went rigid against the damp, weeping limestone wall.The violent thrashing, the desperate kicking, the clawing at the guards' iron wrists… it all stopped instantly. It was as if every drop of air had been sucked straight out of the vault, leaving only a dark, crushing vacuum behind, a silence so absolute it felt like the room itself was holding its breath alongside me.Even the guards seemed to sense it, their grips loosening fractionally, as though Graham's question had frozen everyone in the chamber into a single held moment. Somewhere in the shadows behind him, I heard one of them shift his weight, the leather of his

Chapter 303~ You Think This Is A Game?

Elena's Point Of View"Well, Elena? Answer me." Graham's fingers dug deeper into my cheekbone, the blunt tips of his knuckles pressing against bone until a dull ache radiated up toward my temple. His dark eyes searched my face with a sharp, clinical impatience, scanning every twitch of my mouth, every shudder of my lashes, desperate to find the familiar flicker of obedience he had spent years cultivating.That flicker had once come so easily to me… a reflex born of fear, drilled into my bones through countless nights of quiet threats and cold silences, through years of learning exactly which words would keep me safe and which would not. Tonight, it refused to surface. I didn't flinch. I didn't pull back. Instead, I tilted my chin upward, forcing my skin harder against his bruising grip. The trembling that had racked my limbs only seconds ago simply ceased, replaced by a sudden, terrifying stillness.Some distant part of me marveled at this new quiet, this unfamiliar steadiness sett

Chapter 304~ I Am Not Sharing You

Elena's Point Of ViewA sharp, involuntary gasp tore out of my throat, my eyes widening into dinner plates as I stared at Graham's sickening smirk. Cold sweat slicked the back of my neck, and my pulse hammered so violently I could feel it in my ears.Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run, yet my legs had turned to stone beneath me, rooted to the damp floor as though the vault itself had reached up to hold me in place. My mind flailed for some escape route, some plan, but found only static, only the roaring silence of pure terror. "What... what do you mean by that, Graham?!" I stammered frantically, my heels digging uselessly into the damp concrete as I tried to press myself even flatter against the weeping limestone wall, as though the stone itself might swallow me whole and spare me from whatever came next.The chill radiating off the wall seeped through the thin fabric of my dress, but it was nothing compared to the ice spreading through my veins. I could smell the mildew

Chapter 305~ Boss Grandfather Is Here In Italy

A/N: Hello loveliessss!! Rn, I'm currently hiding my face thinking of how to apologize, I've been down with a terrible flu for more than a week, and it was so bad, was hallucnating, so I was adviced to stay away from all screens. My apologies guys.Elena's Point Of ViewBANG! The sound didn't just fill the cellar; it tore straight through it, shattering the damp air like a sheet of ice under a sledgehammer. The sharp, acrid reek of burnt gunpowder instantly choked out the heavy smell of iron and dust, clinging to the back of my throat like ash. Time seemed to fracture into pieces too small to hold onto, each one sharp enough to cut. My arms vibrated up to my shoulders from the violent kickback, my hands clamped so hard around the cold metal grip that my knuckles turned entirely white.Gray smoke curled lazily from the tip of the dark steel barrel, drifting right through the yellow beam of the single hanging bulb above us. I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. I couldn't feel anything

Chapter 306~ You Look So Tired, Princess

Elena's Point Of View"Wait... really?" I blurted out, my voice cracking right in the middle as the SUV tore around another dark cliffside bend. "His grandfather is right here in Italy?!" "He flew in three days ago," Liam said, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror as he checked on the second car carrying the rest of Jaxx's rescued men behind us. "The second Jaxx went dark and missed the check-in window, the old man boarded his private jet. He's been setting up a safehouse and mobilizing half of Europe's off-grid network ever since." I barely heard the end of his sentence because Jaxx let out a low, ragged groan in my lap. "Jaxx? Jaxx, hey, look at me," I pleaded, pressing my palm flat against the bloodied tear in his leather jacket, trying desperately to hold the pressure where his ribs were bruised and torn. My other hand tangled into his dark, messy hair, brushing wet strands away from his sweaty forehead. "Stay with me, okay? Don't you dare close your eyes. You hear me? We'r

Chapter 307~ Don't Let Me Go, Bambina

Elena's Point Of View"You look so awful, Bambina," Jaxx murmured, a faint, lopsided smirk tugging at his lips despite the obvious pain radiating from his cracked ribs. I froze, my jaw practically dropping as I stared at him through my tear-stained eyes. Here he was, wrapped in crisp white medical bandages like a fresh mummy, bruised all over his collarbone, pale as a ghost, machines humming softly beside him with their steady, mechanical reassurance, and he had the absolute nerve to critique my appearance. Two days ago, I hadn't known if I'd ever hear his voice again, let alone his teasing. Now, hearing it aimed at me felt like some cruel, wonderful joke the universe had decided to play. "What about you?" I snapped back, glaring at him even as my voice wobbled with unshed tears. I wiped my wet face with the oversized sleeve of his shirt, my chest heaving. "You made me look awful, Jaxx! Look at me… I haven't slept in two days! I haven't showered properly, I've been sitting in this

Chapter 308~ When Is The Wedding?

Elena's Point Of ViewI pulled back sharply, my palms pressing against his chest to create just enough space so I could stare down into his dark eyes. A deep, frustrated frown carved into my forehead, my eyebrows pulling together as a hundred unspoken fears churned in my chest. I searched his face, half expecting him to flinch or look away, but he only gazed back at me with that infuriating calm, as if nothing in the world could touch him. It was maddening, that composure of his, as though he existed on some separate plane where fear simply couldn't reach him. Jaxx's relaxed expression instantly shifted, his eyes widening with a touch of alarm. His hand smoothed over my waist, and his voice dropped low. "What is it, princess? Are you in pain? Is it your arm?" "Why did you put your life at risk, Jaxx?!" I demanded, the sheer, agonizing frustration bursting out of me all over again. The image of him pinned under Graham's guards on that filthy concrete floor flashed behind my eyes, ma
