River’s POV"Inmate 304, you've been released." I heard the cold voice of the warder, who had made my life a living hell in this prison. I’m very sure she was sent by the devil to punish me, and every time I hear her voice, I get disgusted.My face slowly rose from the worn-out concrete floor, my eyes heavy with exhaustion. I’ve been feeling nauseous for months now, but I brushed it off as exhaustion from prison life.Nine months of hard labour, endless nights spent on a thin mattress, and the weight of betrayal hung heavy on my shoulders. My fiancé Rowan, who was also my boss, was the reason I had ended up here.He had promised to bail me out after two months after I agreed to cover up his crimes, but I guess it didn’t just work out, and I ended up serving 9 months.Silence filled the void where his promises once lay; my heart still ached from the wounds of his abandonment. With a groan, I pushed myself up, my joints creaking in protest.My legs trembled beneath me, threatening to

River’s POVNova?My best friend.My legs trembled. Rowan’s eyes met mine. His face went pale, like he’d seen a ghost.His mouth opened, but no words came. He clearly had no idea I’d been released.Nova… she saw me too. Our eyes locked…and then she smiled. Like everything was perfect.Like she was the happiest woman on earth. I couldn’t breathe.No one else seemed to notice me standing there like a statue. Just them. I stumbled to the back and sat on a pew.I tried not to cry, but the tears came anyway…hot, heavy, and unstoppable.I looked up again. They were still standing there, smiling at each other. Why did Nova help me get out? Was it to mock me? To watch me break down?Then it hit me—she must have been the one who sent that message telling me to meet Rowan here.This was her plan all along.My chest ached, and I felt like I was falling…but there was no one to catch me. I told myself it meant something. That he loved me. That he would wait. But it was all a lie.All for nothin

River’s POVHis words hung in the silence between us, dropping like lead into my chest. What if those men decide to come after you again?The breath hitched in my throat. I stared at him, my mind racing as the brutal reality set in. He was right. Those men had not tried to snatch my purse or drag me into an alley for a few dollars. They had a car waiting with the door open, ready to haul me away."That’s true," I breathed out, the sound barely escaping my lips. A heavy wave of helplessness crashed over me, threatening to pull me under. "But I have nowhere to go."My apartment was no longer safe. If someone had sent men to grab me on a public street in broad daylight, going back to my house meant walking straight into a trap."I can take you to my place," he offered calmly.I looked at him, searching his sharp features. He had just saved my life, fought off two attackers, and driven like a madman to get us to safety. But he was still a stranger. After Nova and Rowan, after the u

River’s POV~One Year Later~I woke up again, breathless, my skin warm and tingling, my heart racing like I had just run a mile. The dream was the same one I’d been having all week,Killian, close to me, his voice low and soft in my ear.His hands on my waist, his lips brushing against mine. It was so vivid that I could almost feel it, like a memory instead of a dream. I turned my face into the pillow and groaned.This was getting ridiculous. I was beginning to see him even when I closed my eyes. I couldn’t explain it…this constant heat that followed me everywhere, creeping into my thoughts, making it impossible to think of anything else.But today wasn’t the day to get lost in daydreams. Today was important. I had a big meeting at the firm…my chance to pitch a proposal that could shift our entire strategy.I needed to stay focused and grounded. I slipped out of bed, trying to shake the fog out of my mind, and headed downstairs to get a cup of coffee, hoping it would steady my nerves

River’s POVI sat at the far end of the long glass table, facing Rowan across the room. The boardroom was filled with quiet tension, the kind that settled deep in your chest.Around us, the other representatives and board members murmured softly, flipping through notes and tapping on tablets. Rowan kept glancing at me, his jaw tight, his eyes sharp with that familiar sternness I once mistook for passion.But I wasn’t afraid of him anymore. Whatever power he once had over me had shattered the day I chose myself. I sat still, my fingers loosely laced together on the table, my back straight, my heart steady.I wasn’t here to crumble. I was here to win.A voice cut through the quiet, pulling me from my thoughts. “Rowan Rune, you have the floor now to present your pitch for us,” the president announced.Rowan stood, smooth and confident, the way he always did when he believed the world belonged to him. He walked to the podium, his designer suit pressed to perfection, the projector lighti

River’s POV“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice trembling despite how hard I tried to steady it. He didn’t answer me. Instead, his eyes dragged over me slowly, deliberately.“Nice dress,” he said, voice smooth like silk soaked in venom. “Too bad you’re wearing it for the wrong man.” Before I could stop him, he pushed the door open wider and stepped inside like he belonged.“Hey” I stumbled back, caught between fear and confusion. “You can’t just walk in here.” My breath hitched as I backed up, one hand clutching the soft fabric of my nightwear close to my chest.There was something unhinged about him, the way he moved without blinking, the way he looked at me like he had a right to. I didn’t know what version of Rowan I was dealing with.One minute he acted like I was nothing. The next, he stared at me like I belonged to him. What was wrong with him? Where was my phone? I glanced around quickly, trying to remember where I’d left it.Killian wasn’t home. Thank God. It wou

Rowan’s POVI had lost deals before, but never like this. Never to her.River stood across the table, her voice sharp and steady, every word cutting through me while the board leaned toward her as if she carried the sun in her hands. When the contract slid to her side, I felt something tear inside me. This deal was supposed to be mine. It was supposed to lift my company to the next level. Instead, I had just lost everything that mattered to me at that moment, and the person who took it away was my so-called ex-fiancé.Her eyes met mine when the meeting ended, cool and dismissive, as if I was nothing more than dirt under her shoes. The way she spoke to me, calm and controlled, like I was already finished, burned hotter than fire. I wanted to crush her. I wanted to wipe that look off her face and remind her who I was. But the truth hit me like a blade. She was not the same River I once knew. She was untouchable now, and I could not understand how.Yes, she had always been smart, m

Rowan’s POVThe early flight was the only choice. If I had stayed in that city, if I had stayed anywhere near River, I would have lost myself. I told myself distance would calm me, but even as the plane touched down, the storm inside me refused to die.By the time I walked into the house, the silence inside felt heavy. I didn’t care. I wanted nothing more than to lock myself away. My body ached from the weight of the day before, and the sharp throb behind my eyes refused to die down. I dragged myself to my room, didn’t even bother taking off my clothes, and collapsed on the bed like a boy who had been whipped by life itself. Nova wasn’t anywhere in sight. Of course, she wasn’t. My phone had been buzzing nonstop with her calls, but she wasn’t here right now to tell me what exactly she wanted. She had become a thorn I couldn’t pull out, always pressing, always clinging. There were times I asked myself if marrying her had been the biggest mistake of my life. I let my eyes fall sh

Killian’s POV“Please… please don’t!” I screamed, my voice breaking as she shoved me down the cold basement steps. My knees scraped against the rough floor when I fell.“I didn’t do it,” I cried, tears burning my eyes as I reached for her shadow in the doorway. “Please, I swear I didn’t.” But my begging meant nothing. Katherine’s face loomed above me, twisted with rage, her eyes full with hate I never understood. “Next time you’ll keep your filthy hands off my son,” she spat, her voice sharp enough to cut through my chest. “You little bastard.” The slam of the door echoed like thunder, sealing me in. Darkness closed in too quickly, and the air felt too thin, like it was being stolen from my lungs. But what broke me wasn’t the darkness, it was the face I saw just before the door shut. Rowan. Standing there behind her, his mouth curling into a cruel smile. My own brother. Watching. Enjoying it. Knowing he had caused this. My chest tightened, fear turning to a scream that clawed

River’s POVMy throat tightened as I scrolled through the pictures. It wasn’t just one. Not two. Not even three. There were so many of them, one after the other, like a cruel gallery of my past. Years had passed, so how on earth did he still have these? Why would Rowan hold on to them? My hand shook, the phone slipping slightly between my fingers, but I pressed my lips together and tried to mask it. I raised my head slowly, forcing my face to stay calm, and that was when I caught him. Killian. His phone frozen in his hand, his eyes locked on me like he had been waiting for my reaction.A cold rush spread through me, but before I could gather myself, Killian’s voice cut through the noise. “Anything wrong, River?” His gaze searched mine, steady and sharp, and I forced a smile that felt like it would crack my face.“No, Killian,” I answered lightly, slipping my phone quickly into my bag as if hiding away the weight of those images could erase them. “It’s nothing.” I lifted my chi
