Ivy The second I heard his footsteps nearing the door, my entire body tensed as if the air itself had frozen around me. My back pressed hard against the cold wall, its chill biting into my skin. My breath caught somewhere in my throat and refused to come out. Even the faint sound of my heartbeat felt too loud. Through the narrow crack, I saw his shadow stretch across the hallway floor, tall, sharp, and patient, like a hunter who already knew the prey was close. Mr. Dante. He pushed the door open wider, his hand steady on the handle. His head tilted slightly to the side as his brows pulled tight, his piercing blue eyes scanning the hallway. That sharp gaze could cut through walls. “Who’s there?” His voice was low, smooth, but carried a dangerous edge. I swallowed hard, my thighs pressed tightly together as if it would stop my trembling. My pulse hammered so violently I swore it could be heard outside my chest. One wrong breath, one tiny sound, and he’d see me standing here,

Dante My hand tightened around her throat, the heat of my palm meeting the fragile pulse beneath her skin. Her breath caught, and I could feel the frantic beat hammering against my fingers like a trapped bird. “Who the hell are you?” I hissed, my voice low and sharp, every word laced with a fury I didn’t bother to hide. “Who sent you?” She didn’t flinch. That was the first thing that threw me off. Any normal human would have been crying, trembling, begging. But Ivy just stared at me with those glasses, her chest rising and falling in sharp, uneven breaths. How the hell did my Crimson Stone end up inside her? The thought slammed through me like a wrecking ball. It didn’t make sense. She was supposed to be just some quiet friend of my daughter’s. A background presence. She wasn’t supposed to be this… involved. My pulse pounded in my skull. Did she use her little act to get close to me? To make me lose control? To make me… kiss her? No. That wasn’t possible. She was a new human. B

Ivy This was it. Finally,I bit my lip, watching Dante struggle with his trousers like some kind of slow-motion movie scene. For someone who carried himself like he owned the world, he sure wasn’t winning the battle with that zipper. He was so slow that I almost yanked the handcuffs off myself just to hurry things up.I needed this done before Rosa woke up. My heart was already racing like a drum, and I could feel sweat gathering on my palms.But then, just when things were heating up, he stopped.His hands froze on his waistband like he suddenly remembered something important.“What?” I blurted out, eyes narrowing.He gave me that maddeningly calm look of his. “We need to sign a contract,” he said like it was the most normal thing in the world. “I don’t want any drama later.”I almost laughed. A contract? Seriously? But all that came out was, “Okay, I’ll sign it.”He turned toward the drawer, moving slow and smooth like a man who’d already planned everything out. When he pulled out

Ivy My eyes widened as the wardrobe door swung open. The sound cracked through the silence, and my hands shot up to my mouth, pressing hard as if I could trap my scream inside my chest. My pulse hammered against my ribs. This is it. I’m dead. Rosa is going to see me stuffed inside her father’s wardrobe like a bad rom-com gone wrong. “Ivy!” Rosa’s voice filled the room, loud and clear. My head snapped up, my breath catching halfway in my throat. Her eyes flickered toward me, or at least toward the pile of clothes covering me. Luckily, his jackets had somehow draped over me like some weird miracle. My body was trembling beneath them. Oh no… am I caught? “Rosa! What the heck are you doing?” Mr. Dante’s voice boomed suddenly, making me jolt. He rushed in front of the wardrobe like a human shield, arms wide as if his body could block out reality. “Stop this,” he said, trying so hard to sound calm, but I could see it in the tight set of his jaw, the way his forehead creased. He w

Ivy“Rosa!” My voice cracked as panic rushed through me.She looked up from my phone, her face pale with disbelief. “I didn’t know you had my dad’s number.” Her voice trembled slightly, like she was trying to make sense of what she just saw.“I… uh…” My throat went dry. “Since I started staying here, you gave it to me yourself,” I managed to say, forcing a nervous smile.She blinked, her brows knitting together. “Oh.” There was a pause, then she nodded slowly as if that somehow explained everything. But her tone shifted as she squinted at the screen again. “Wait… you guys are meeting at Havilland? Why?”My heart plummeted straight to my stomach. Oh no.I stepped closer to her, trying to sound calm even though my pulse was racing. “What will you guys do there without me?” she asked, pouting slightly. Then she rolled her eyes. “It’s like my dad has adopted you and forgotten about me.” She laughed lightly, but there was a faint edge to her voice, one I didn’t miss.She didn’t seem to not
