••~~MADDISON~~••"I don’t think I can do this Corian…” I whispered, sitting behind the wheel, my whole heart in my throat.“Relax, Maddison… I’ll talk you through it.” His hand pressed firm into my thigh, not helping my focus.I gripped the wheel tighter. Every good sense in me screamed don’t do it. But Corian was right there, those piercing greens locking me in.“I could kill us both,” I said. This was nothing like driving my dad’s beat up truck. It wasn’t just a car. The leather hugged my back. The wood on the dash glowed."You won’t. The Bentley’s smoother than your dad’s truck... you don’t have to muscle it. It wants to be touched gentle, not fought.” His voice dropped, “Just let it do the work, Maddison.”Oh, hell. Why did that curl low in my stomach like he wasn’t even talking about the car?“Take it to drive, Maddison,” Corian pressed, his eyes fixed on me like he was daring me to disobey.“Oh crap…” I pushed the button that said drive and the car

••~~MADDISON~~••My eyes chased him as he moved back and forth; God, I wanted to know who was on the other end.Who were those men?If they got him this worked up… I should know, right?I mean, the man needed someone looking after him, no?“Ouch!” I yelped as the knife bit into my skin. “Crap!”The blade clattered out of my hand.Blood.“Fuck, Maddison!” Corian rasped, tossing his phone aside and rounding me up in seconds.“Fuck!""Shit!” His eyes went wide, looked like he was staring down death itself.But it wasn’t even deep. Just a little spurt of blood.My fault anyway, chopping with my eyes on him instead of the damn vegetables.Still… damn. I had never seen someone’s eyes soak with this much fear.Corian Van Halen might be afraid.“It’s nothing… it’s just…” I shook my head, trying to brush it off.He wasn’t hearing me. His hands were stubborn, his mouth sweeter than I expected. “Let me see…”Before I could process it, he had my wrist in his grip…

••~~MADDISON~~••Willow was not just my worst enemy.She was my stepsister first.After Dad died, Mom drowned herself in bottles and late-night parties. She forgot me. She forgot I was still there. Then she met Willow’s Dad years after at one of those parties. Married him in one month.Chaos. That’s what that year was.We moved into Willow’s house. She hated me from day one. Hated that her Dad liked me. Hated that I liked art just like him. Hated that her father even spoke to me with a smile.She lied. Said I was crushing on him. Said I kissed him in his sleep. Even had a fake video to “prove it.” Her dad believed her. Mom did too. Divorce papers came quick. Another thing on the long list Mom blamed on me.But I know this… Willow’s hate only got worse the day I met Chad and when we started dating, it was like she couldn’t stand that I was even breathing.He was my first actual boyfriend. My whole world. The boy I thought would be forever. Now he was w

••~~MADDISON~~••Being stuck in that car felt like my chest was closing. The speed, the doors locked, the road pulling away behind us. It dragged back old memories I never wanted to think about again. Memories I had buried so deep I thought they were gone, but right now, every detail clawed back up like ghosts.The car smelled of smoke and strong cologne. Strong, choking, flooding my nose. Black leather seats. The windows tinted so dark there was no way to know where we were going. It was like being boxed in, trapped in some moving coffin.I kicked hard. Slammed my fist against the door till my knuckles stung. “Let me out!” My voice cracked, bouncing back at me in the tight space.The man turned his face to me with that dirty smile. It was rugged and familiar. I knew him. “It’s you. From the Rig.”It was the tall one. Dark eyes. That rough voice that always reminded me of Savage Tommy. The creep that never listened to no.Tommy was the only man Julia ev

If you’re here for hearts and flowers, turn back now. But if you’re ready to watch Maddison crawl, beg, break… and burn under Corian Van Halen’s rules... keep reading. Desire is messy And once you step into the mirror room… you won’t leave the same. Welcome to the chapter that will make you hate him, crave him, and whisper just one more page. ••~~ CORIAN~~•• We were in the mirror room and I set her down on the floor. She let out that small whimper she always makes when I let her go. It tells me she hates when my hands leave her. She hates the space. She’s scared of what’s coming, but she still wants it. That’s Maddison… always scared and wanting at the same time.. I lifted her chin with one finger. Her glossy brown eyes were wet. There was so much in them. Too much. “Why did you take that detour?” I as
