If there was one thing I had learned in the past week, it was that absolutely nothing in the Sylas’ family was ever simple.The restaurant Ella chose for our chat was exactly the type I had expected. It was private, silent and exclusive in a way that actually screamed money.She had us seated in a secluded section of the restaurant. It was a section tucked away behind a glass partition that blurred the rest of the world away and also provided us some privacy.It was just enough to make us feel alone even if we weren’t. And I didn’t want to feel alone, especially when sitting across from a predator.I took a deep breath as I sat across from her. I made sure my posture was straight, and my expression was calm. Ella, on the other hand, looked absolutely serene. She was acting as though she owned the place – which now that I think about it, she probably did.After we were served wine, she lifted her glass and took a slow, deliberate sip, and she made sure her eyes never left mine, through

Our kiss was not gentle, no, it was filled with hunger, desire and need.His mouth claimed mine with a fierce force that not only stole my breath but also sent shivers running down my spine. I gasped against his mouth and my hands clenched his shirt tightly as I kissed him back with all the want and desires that had been pent-up within me for a long time.Sylas growled into the kiss. It was a low, primal sound that reverberated through my chest, and before I could blink, he backed me up against the wall. The cold stone pressed tightly against my spine and I gasped as his tongue pushed past my lips and dominated every inch of my mouth.My tongue tangled with his in a battle of need so intense that my nails dug through the fabric of his shirt into his shoulders.My pussy ached with need as his hips ground against me. Even through his pants, the hard length of his cock rubbed against my core with every movement we made.His hand slid down my side and his fingers began to trace the curve

Sylas’ POV:“Little brother,”The words didn’t just land, they lingered. Even whole seconds after he had said it. Once upon a time, I had always smiled whenever I heard those words.Now, a shiver ran down my spine and my frown deepened.For a moment, I said absolutely nothing. Not because I didn’t have a response, I had several, but because no response I could give would conceal the hurt I felt deep within me.“Cassian,” It was only after I made sure my voice was measured and calm, that I spoke up.“Still calm,” my elder brother mused, anger and rage clear in his tone, “Are you still pretending like you are not uncomfortable, little bro?”I leaned back slightly in my seat and stared out through the window at the city, my city, blurred fast past the windows.“I don’t pretend,”Silence descended at those words. Then, a short chuckle filled the line.“I forgot that you always liked to talk big,”My jaw tightened as I listened to the voice of Cassian Gold, my elder brother.He was the hei

Minutes after my mom left, I stood right in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection with furrowed brows.I was still struggling to recognize my own image. I was wearing a tailored cream blouse that was tucked neatly into a fitted black shirt. I had on a styled suit jacket earlier, but I removed it.I was the C.E.O now. I had the choice to choose what I wanted to wear. This was not the kind of clothes I was used to wearing to work, but I was going to make it work. I tilted my head slightly as I studied my reflection one last time before turning around.Today, I wasn’t going to be walking into that building as someone who had been thrown into power. No, I was walking in as someone who managed everything in it.I picked up my purse, and walked out of the door. The estate was already lively as I walked out. The staff were moving efficiently, and the morning air was both crisp and clean.I let out a sigh of relief as I stepped outside, and my heels clicked softly against stone as I

The very first thing I felt when I woke up was pain, not confusion or even fear, just pain. The pain was so overwhelming that it felt like my entire body had been dragged through broken, jagged glass.A groan tore from my throat before I could stop it. I tried to open my eyes, but it hurt, even my head throbbed. My limbs were heavy, and my chest ached with every breath I took.I tried to move, and I felt something, probably a rib, crack. The rush of pain that followed caused my eyes to finally snap open. The first thing I saw was white. Everything was white.The walls, the ceiling and even the floor were all painted white. All I could do was stare blankly at the bizarre sight as my mind struggled to catch up.“What happened?” I gasped, muttering under my breath, “Where am I, where…?"Then, all my memory came crashing back. From the car to the gunshots and even the crash. My breath hitched in shock as I tried once again to sit up, but I couldn’t.It was only then that I noticed that my
