KAIDA REED POV My husband was killing me.I blinked, then forced a smile as my gaze locked onto those of Lucien in the mirror. "You look as beautiful as ever, Kaida," he said, stopping behind me to press a quick kiss to my cheeks. "I brought you your tea. Just a week more and you should be back to normal."I nodded, taking the drink from him. "Thank you. You treat me so well. I am so lucky to have you by my side, aren’t I," I asked while searching his face for any trace of regret. All I saw was his practiced perfection. I stared into the cup, my heart beating erratically. I knew the tea was poisoned. I’d seen him with my very eyes pouring the powdered substance in, and yet...I raised the cup to my lips and gulped down the bitter contents.He watched me drink, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled softly."That’s my good girl," he praised, then wrapped his arms around me. "Have you stopped coughing yet?"I nodded, my gaze dropping to his hand, the ring on his finger glinti

KAIDA REED POV I didn’t bother to ring the doorbell. I yanked the door open with trembling hands and stepped inside. I walked up the stairs, every step bringing me closer to her bedroom door making my heartbeat roar in my ear. There was no way what I was thinking was true, but since he was poisoning me, I couldn’t rule out the possibility of him also cheating. But with Helena. My sister. It couldn’t be.I stopped at the door, reached for the handle, and froze as I heard Lucien’s voice "You look so beautiful," he grunted, the sound of skin slapping against skin filling the air.I froze, my lungs closing up.Why was Lucien in Helena’s room? My eyes widened. Were they having sex?"How beautiful," Helena moaned, panting heavily.I pushed the door a bit with a trembling hand, everything catching fire inside of me as my eyes locked on the naked bodies on the bed."Ethereal," he grunted, fucking into her at a slow and languid pace. "If I can, I’ll live inside of you forever.""Then why d

KAIDA REED POV "I told you not to fucking touch her!" He roared, grabbed my arm, and yanked me up from the floor. "Your father is no longer here to protect you, and in case you forgot, I own everything now. Everything," he said, then shoved me. Hard.I stumbled, my hand reaching for the wall to steady myself. The silence that followed seeped into my bones like ice. I couldn’t believe it, but it was reality. Lucien had really hit me."I don’t deserve this," I whispered, my teeth sinking into my lip. "All I’ve done is love you...so why am I being punished like this?"He scoffed, then leaned in. "Because you forced a love that wasn’t meant to be."I died a little inside. "I forced it?" I met his eyes. "You said you loved me. You asked me to marry you. How did I force anything?"Helena jabbed a finger into my chest. "Are you really asking that question. You gave his sister your kidney. You literally forced him to love you!""I didn’t do it for him." My chest burned as I spoke. "Nessa wa

KAIDA REED POV I jolted upright with a gasp, my hands clawing at my chest as a fierce pain sliced through it.But there was nothing there.I blinked, then looked down.Didn’t I just...die? Where was the blood?I remembered the knife—the pain, the betrayal—so why was my heart still beating?"Kaida?"My eyes flew up, then widened as they met those of Nessa."Are you alright? You suddenly fainted."I blinked. I fainted?I clearly remembered dying, so what was she talking about? And why did this room look so familiar?Her fingers brushed my shoulder. I flinched so sharply she jerked back"What’s wrong with you?" She pressed a hand to her breast and sucked in a breath. "God, you scared me. Should I get Lucien..."My heart stopped cold. "No! Don’t! Don’t call him."The worry in her eyes deepened. "But you look totally out of it. If you’re not feeling well, I can just ask him to cancel the engagement party and tell the guests to leave—""Engagement party?" I glanced around the room, then at

KAIDA REED POV I slowly let go of the wheels, the sound of my pounding heart drowning out that of the rain.Then I blinked, my eyes moving in the direction of the car I’d almost hit. I couldn’t see much of anything, but I could tell they were reversing. My heart skipped a beat. Were they coming to check on me...or for something else?The car slowed, then stopped a few feet from me.I sucked in a sharp breath and held it as I heard them open the door.Was I in danger? This road was eerily empty and I was all alone. I also didn’t know where the hell I was.A figure stepped out of the car.I noticed his height first, then his build—it was the kind of build that belonged to someone who could crush you without effort—but it wasn’t that that froze me in place.It was the way he moved, measured and hungry, like a hunter savoring the moment before the kill.It wasn't very comforting.I clutched at my seatbelt, my mouth drying as I waited.He stopped in front of my car and even though there

KAIDA REED POV I turned to my car, my hands grabbing the door handle to open it when the headlights of an oncoming car suddenly blinded me.I paused, blinking the droplets of water from my lashes. Who the hell could it be?The car stopped. Lucien came out.My blood turned to ice, everything inside me churning as he closed the distance between us.What was he doing here? How did he even know where to find me? Wait. Was he...tracking me?I thought he only knew I witnessed his crime because he saw me that night, but what if that wasn’t the case?My stomach dipped hard, my hand clenching around the door handle.If he was tracking me, does that mean he knows I have the recording?God damn it, this was starting to get a lot messier.He had killed that man without a flinch, which meant it wasn’t the first time. If he finds out I have a record of his crime, he is going to kill me without hesitation.I had to be careful. Until I find a way to get away from him, I need to keep him from getti

LUCIEN DRAVEN POV I kicked at the tires of my car then gripped my tie, ripping it off in frustration as it got extremely suffocating."What the hell are you up to Kaida? Why are you suddenly acting up?"And why the hell had she driven all the way here when she knew who owned the property? No, she didn’t. She probably missed a turn because of the horrible weather. Kaida was the most clueless person I knew so there was no way she would deliberately drive here. Letting out a breath to ease the tension in my chest, I glanced around and then entered my car. I didn’t want to spend another second on Zavian Nolven’s land.God, just thinking about the son of a bitch made my blood boil, but he wasn’t what was important now, it was Kaida Reed.The way she’d looked at me... It had been different. Too different.She’d always looked at me as if I were her salvation, so why had she stared at me with so much hate and disgust, and all because of what? I was a few hours late for the engagement party

KAIDA REED POV It was quiet at the Mansion and as I stepped into the house, I couldn’t help the wave of nostalgia that washed over me.Everything was the same. Just like always. And the longer I stood taking in the luxurious setting, the lonelier I felt."You’ve always been alone" I whispered, wrapping my arm around myself. "That’s why you fell so hard for the first person to act like you truly exist."Just thinking about him had my head throbbing. I was truly pathetic, wasn’t I? I did everything to make him love me—everything. And now that I thought deeper about it, maybe they were right. Maybe I had given my kidney to Nessa in the hope that he would see my sacrifice and finally love me... After all, my world only revolved around him...But he was just a black hole. And like all black holes, he devoured my love, my body...my soul, every scrap of hope I carried, until there was nothing left.My phone rang, pulling me out of my dark thoughts. I glanced down at it, my breath catching

KAIDA REED POV PRESS CONFERENCE I smiled, shaking hands with the reporter. "Thank you for today, Miss Kaida. The interview went really well. I hope you’ll be giving us more chances to speak with you in the future."I nodded. "I hope so too. I really enjoyed my time on the show."She smiled. "Good to know. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll just run over a few things with the crew." "Of course, of course," I said, nodding quickly.The woman gave me a warm smile, then walked away."Now that that’s over with, I should find a way to schedule a meeting with Zavian. I’m sure Father would have nothing to worry about if our company collaborates." I picked up my bag and shades, stepped inside the elevator, then smirked. "This is going to be fun."The ride was brief, but it gave me the privacy I needed to breathe and comport myself. I was sure Lucien was on his way here, or maybe he was already waiting for me outside... That bastard. I bet he thought I was going to call him begging last night.I sco

Ten

KAIDA REED POV Zavian’s eyes held mine captive, and they burned with such an intensity that it had my breath catching in my throat. I couldn’t look away.I stood, pinned in place, but it wasn’t out of fear. It was something heavier. Something almost forbidden.I blinked, my hands clenching the side of my dress as I tried to make sense of the feeling."What do you want me to do, Kaida?" he asked, towering over me, the storm of anger and concern swirling in his gaze sending a wave of goosebumps down my arms."Zavian?" I called shakily, my hands clammy with sweat. "W–what—" I stuttered, then gasped as a rough hand suddenly wrapped around my arm, and I was yanked hard behind Lucien.He shielded me with his body—as if he hadn’t been the one hurting me just some seconds ago—then stepped forward, the anger in his eyes dark and furious. His stance was protective, but all it did was make my stomach twist because I knew the truth. Lucien didn’t truly care about me. He didn’t love me and he su
