Chapter 151Ivy He stepped inside far enough to close the door behind him but he did not come closer. “You didn’t sleep with anyone. You said that downstairs. Is that still true?”“Yes.”“Then what did you do that made you look like this when you walked in the door?”“I worked.”“What kind of work puts that look on your face and makes you ask for a break the same night?”I laughed once and it sounded broken. “The kind that pays better than anything else I could find. The kind that makes me feel like I finally get to decide something. The kind I cannot explain to you without watching your face change.”“Try me.”“No.”“Why not?”“Because the second I say it out loud in this room it stops being mine and starts being something you get to judge.”Kai’s jaw worked. “I’m your boyfriend.”“You were. Right now I don’t know what we are.”“That’s convenient.”“It’s honest.”He dragged a hand through his hair and the motion made the sleeve of the hoodie ride up. “You disappear for a week. You c

Chapter 153 Ivy OuI lay there under him with his hand wrapped around my throat and his cock still buried all the way inside me. The burn from earlier had not gone away. It just sat there mixed with the leftover wetness from the studio and the way my body kept answering him even when my head screamed no. His fingers pressed just hard enough that every breath felt thin. He stared down at me like he was deciding if he wanted to keep me breathing or not.“What did you tell him?” His voice came out low and rough. The pressure on my neck tightened a little with every word. “How long have you been talking to a cop?” OupoyyI tried to swallow. It hurt. My free hand pushed at his chest but he did not move an inch. I scratched at his arm instead. My nails dug in and he didyi not even flinch. He just pushed deeper like he wanted to remind me he was still there.“I asked you a question, Ivy.”“I… I didn’t tell him anything,” I got out. The words came out cracked because of his hand. “I just… I

Chapter 155Ivy I lay there under him with his cock still buried all the way inside me and his hand locked around my throat while the third set of knocks slammed against the front door downstairs. My guess is he sent both my mother and my sister out because they’d have heard me screaming. Daniel’s voice came through the wood again, louder this time, calling my name like he already knew something was wrong. Kai did not move. He stayed deep and heavy and completely still except for the slow flex of his fingers against the side of my neck. Every breath I took felt thin. The burn from earlier mixed with the wetness that would not stop and the leftover pulses from the orgasms he had forced out of me. My body kept answering him even while my head stayed locked on the sound of those knocks.“Stay quiet,” he said, voice low and right against my ear. “Not one word until I tell you.”I nodded as much as his hand would let me. The pressure stayed just hard enough that talking would have hurt a

Chapter 157 DanielI couldn't sleep.I had been sitting in my car for a while now , parked three houses down from Kai's place, watching the upstairs window like it was the only thing in the world that mattered. The light had been on for most of that time. Then it went off then it came back on at three fifteen.Something about that felt wrong.I had seen enough domestic calls to know the pattern. The abuser lets the victim sleep, thinks they're safe, then wakes them up in the middle of the night to start it all over again. It's a control thing. A power thing. They want their victim to know that nowhere is safe, not even sleep.I told myself I was overthinking it. I told myself I had no probable cause. I told myself I needed to go home and get some rest and come back in the morning with a clear head and a solid plan.Then I heard the screaming.It was muffled, distant, coming from behind closed windows, but I knew that voice. I had heard it on the phone just hours earlier. I had heard

Chapter 159DanielI hadn’t slept.Not even for a minute. My eyes stayed open the whole night while I sat in that armchair across from the couch. Ivy’s breathing was the only sound in the room for hours. Slow. Steady. The kind of breathing that said her body had finally given up fighting for a little while. I watched her chest rise and fall under the blanket I had given her. Every time it moved I felt something in my own chest ease just a fraction, then tighten right back up again.The marks on her neck kept playing in my head. Dark fingerprints already turning purple when I left her room earlier. Kai’s laugh sat right next to those marks, that cold quiet sound he made while I had my knee in his back. The locked bedroom down the hall stayed in there too. Chair wedged under the handle. Jade and her mom on the floor, arms around each other, eyes wide. I kept seeing all of it on a loop like my brain refused to shut the projector off.I told myself to look away. Told myself staring at her
