CHAPTER ONE

Arielle's POV"I'm taking the pink hoodie too."The sales receptionist, a slim young lady, smiled and stretched out her hand. "Let me take your card."She swiped it and waited, then swiped it again."This isn't working." She kept her voice professionally flat. "You can pay with another card.""That's not possible." I smiled lightly. "I used this card a few hours ago.""Let's try it again."She swiped once more, then shook her head.I handed her another card. It still declined. My mouth twisted. "There must be a problem somewhere.""I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I think you should check with your bank. They'll know what the issue is."I nodded. Behind me, another salesperson was already gathering everything I'd picked. The hoodie, the shoes, the perfume and carrying them back to their positions like I'd never touched them.I watched for a second, then turned and walked out of the mall with every bit of composure I had left.I was about to explode and I already had a culprit in mind.

CHAPTER TWO

Arielle's POVThe guy had a phone pressed to his ear but I didn't hear what he was saying. I just didn't care. I was too focused on his piercing blue eyes and his biceps standing out through the shirt he wore. He had that look that could make even the toughest pussy drip. I even had to squeeze my thighs together just to put myself in check.I was just taking a morning stroll around the service apartment complex I rented and seeing this hunk in human form was intoxicating.The sun was barely up and he was already out here looking like that. He walked towards the apartment which was about a stone's throw from mine and that was when it clicked. This man was my actual neighbour.Oh gosh. My eyes would never get bored as long as I lived here.I preened myself, ran a hand through my hair and walked towards him just as he slid his phone into his pocket. He turned and fixed those sexy eyes on me. That look he gave me just then. I would have stripped out completely if he'd asked me to.I let o

CHAPTER THREE

Arielle's POV"Can I spend the night, please?"His brows raised."I mean…my rent expired, my stuff is outside and I have nowhere to go. If you could just let me stay for a few days…or I'll be gone by tomorrow."He squinted and stared at me with a hard expression. Silence followed. The rain was still hammering outside and I was dripping water onto his doorstep."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you." I turned to leave."Just for tonight."His voice came from behind me. My eyes brightened. I turned back around."You're letting me stay? Thank you so much." I smiled and dragged my suitcase in. He locked the door behind us.His living room was like a football field. They were expensive dark furniture, portraits lined on the walls, everything arranged with the kind of quiet precision that said this man lived alone and liked it that way.Everywhere smelled just like him. Cool and icy. I stood there for a second just breathing it in before I caught myself.There was one problem though. Th

CHAPTER FOUR

Arielle's POVI sat up.“You'll assume the role of a patient and I'll be the doctor.""Sounds interesting." I smiled. "What illnesses can you treat?""You'll find out. Soon." His eyes stayed on mine. "Let's not rush things."I nodded."Good." He strode to the table and picked up a pen and paper."Tell me your name.""Arielle Hunt."He moved the pen across the paper as if he was writing, his expression serious, playing the part completely. Something about that made my stomach flip."Now." He looked up. "Listen to the doctor and follow every instruction carefully."I nodded again. He set the pen and paper down and looked at me in a way that made the air in the room feel thicker."Take off your clothes."His voice was low and breathy. I stared at him for a moment, my heart picking up speed."Tell me to stop if you don't want to do this."I didn't tell him to stop. I stood up and pulled off my top. My nipples pointed straight toward him. I wasn't wearing a bra anyway. Then I took off my s

CHAPTER FIVE

Arielle's POVWhen I woke up, Victor wasn't on the bed.I got up slowly, still feeling the ache in my lower abdomen from last night. I hadn't showered after, I still smelled like Victor’s strong cologne and sex.Memories from last night rushed through my head, fuck! I had to admit that Victor did things to me that David would have never done. Last night was heated, I didn’t know if I wanted more or not. I ran the bath water hotter than usual. I stood under it longer than I needed to, letting the heat work into my skin. My hands caressed my nipple, and rose to my neck where Victor had bit me. Just the thought was enough to make me wet. I walked to the living room. He was standing at the counter, stirring coffee. His back was to me. He wore a dark shirt, sleeves rolled up. Revealing his veiny arms."Morning," I said."Morning." He nodded without turning around, then set a second cup on the table.I sat down. Neither of us said anything about last night. That was fine by me. I wasn't r

CHAPTER SIX

Arielle’s POVThe iron gates groaned open as the car rolled up the long driveway, and the mansion came into view the same way it always did. It looked too large, too quiet, too full of things that didn’t move. Every topiary trimmed to the same perfect angle. Every window was gleaming. Nothing was out of place. Nothing had changed while I was gone, and somehow that made the tightness in my chest worse instead of better. It was the kind of stillness that reminded you the world kept turning without asking your permission.David pulled up to the entrance and stepped out before I could reach the handle. He opened my door without a word, offering his hand the way he always did. Steady, practiced, giving nothing away. I didn’t take it. I stepped out on my own and smoothed the front of my clothes, not because they needed it but because I needed a moment before walking through those doors.The foyer was exactly as I’d left it. Cool marble, fresh white lilies in the tall vase by the staircase,

CHAPTER SEVEN

Arielle’s POV“Wait… do what?” I asked, my voice barely more than a breath.David didn’t answer immediately. He stepped closer instead, the mattress dipping under his weight as he sat beside me. The faint scent of his cologne drifted into the air. It smelled woody and familiar, something that used to comfort me.“I’ve been distant these days, right?” he said finally, his voice softer than usual.His fingers slipped into my hair, stroking gently, almost cautiously like he wasn’t sure he still had the right to touch me that way.I stiffened for a second before forcing myself to relax. “You have,” I replied.“It’s not helping us,” he continued, his gaze was fixed somewhere on the bedspread instead of me. “And I know it isn’t appropriate.”I frowned slightly. “So?”He exhaled, then turned to look at me, he really looked at me this time. “Let’s go on a date, Ari. Just the two of us. However you want it. It’s up to you.”For a second, I just stared at him.A date. That was it?The tension

CHAPTER EIGHT

Arielle's POVI stared at David while my brain did skips and jumps. The woman still didn't look at me. She looked like a ticking time bomb ready to explode."Dave, so all this while you were running around with another bitch and I had no idea about it?" Her nose reddened.David remained mute like he'd suddenly forgotten how to talk. He just stared at the table like it held some secret answers I had no idea about. But no. I wouldn't take it from her. I wouldn't have her call me a bitch to my very face without David having anything to say and just sit there."Did I hear you properly? What the fuck did you just call me? You whore." I rose to my feet.“I called you a bitch because that's what you are. You steal my man and still have the audacity to raise your voice at me” she hissed while placing both hands on her waist. "People like you are just so shameless We've been dating for six months, girl. Didn't you know that? Who do you think you are?"I laughed so hard my throat almost hurt.

CHAPTER NINE

Victor's POVI mixed some strong black coffee for myself, then walked over to the dining table. I preferred making it without adding any Sugar because it tasted richer somehow.I raised the cup to my lips and paused.I looked down a the table. This was the exact table where I had fucked Arielle. I could still see her perfect tits bouncing as I fucked her. The way her pussy responded. All wet and stretchy, taking every inch of me. The sounds she made. I could still hear her voice begging me for more and the way her nails dragged down my back without her even realising she was doing it.I set the coffee down and rubbed my chin.I had pretended since she left that I hadn't thought about her. But that was all a lie. I thought about her all the time. In the mornings when the apartment was too quiet. At night when I lay on the same side of the bed she had slept on. Her scent had faded from the sheets days ago but I still noticed the exact moment it was completely gone.I moved to the sofa.

CHAPTER TEN

Victor's POVWait. I set the phone down slowly and stared at the screen.If I was reading this right, then I had killed Arielle's mother. Not some stranger in the woods. Not a nameless woman I could keep nameless in my head to make it easier to live with. Arielle's mother. The woman whose daughter had slept in my bed, eaten at my table, looked at me with those open eyes like I was someone worth trusting.I placed both hands on my head.And the husband had seen me transform back. He had stood there in the dark and watched it happen and he knew exactly what I was. That meant Harrison Hunt could recognise me the moment he laid eyes on me. If our paths ever crossed, if he ever saw my face in the right light, there would be trouble I didn't want and couldn't outrun.I stood up and went to pour myself a glass of water.I filled it, raised it to my lips and stood there. I couldn't bring myself to drink. My mind kept pulling me back to the same place no matter how many times I dragged it away
