CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: YOU CAN GO TO HELLSERENA'S POVI woke up slowly.My body felt heavy and sore in places that made the night before come rushing back the moment I shifted under the sheets. A dull ache lingered between my legs. My thighs felt tender. There was a faint sting on my inner thigh where he had bitten me, and my lips still felt slightly swollen.I was in my own bed.For a few seconds I just lay there with my eyes closed, listening. The room was quiet. No sound of another person breathing. No weight on the other side of the mattress. I opened my eyes and turned my head.The space beside me was empty.Caspian had slept here. I remembered that much. After everything, after the way he had taken me over and over until I couldn’t think straight, he had stayed. At some point I must have fallen asleep with his arm around me. Now he was gone. I hated how he still had control over my body.I sat up slowly. The sheets slipped down to my waist. I was still naked. My nightgown was nowh

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: THE SHOWERSERENA'S POVThe hospital visit had left me drained in a way that had nothing to do with physical tiredness.Lucas had been stable. The doctors were still pleased with his progress. He had smiled when he saw me and asked if I was eating enough, the same way he always did, as if he was the older one. I had stayed longer than I planned, sitting beside his bed and talking about nothing important just so I could keep hearing his voice. By the time I finally left, the sky outside had already started to darken.The drive back to the mansion felt quiet. I stared out the window and tried not to think about the message from A that was still sitting in my deleted folder like a bruise I couldn’t stop pressing. You can go to hell. The words kept circling. I didn’t know what path I was supposedly choosing, or why helping me had suddenly turned into a threat. All I knew was that every time I thought I had created a little distance, something dragged me right back in

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: GOOD MORNING, WIFEYSERENA'S POVI woke up to soft weekend light filtering through the curtains. For a few seconds I didn’t move. I just lay there on my side, staring at the far wall of my bedroom while the events of the previous night slowly arranged themselves in my head. My body felt warm and a little restless under the sheets. There was no heavy arm around my waist this time. No quiet breathing beside me. The other side of the bed was empty and cool.Caspian had chased me through the entire house last night.The memory arrived all at once and made my face heat even though no one was there to see it. After I walked in on him in the shower, after he came while staring straight at me, I had run. I had actually run. And instead of letting it go or turning the moment into something sharp and sexual the way he usually did, he had laughed and chased me around the living room like it was a game. Around the couch. Past the chairs. Down the hallway. I remembered the s

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: THE SLAPCASPIAN'S POVI knew something was wrong the moment we left the golf club.Serena had been fine or at least functional while we were with the Montgomerys. She had smiled when required, spoken when spoken to, and even laughed once at something Beatrice said. But the second we were alone in the car, the air changed. She sat as far from me as the back seat allowed, her body angled toward the window, her eyes fixed on the passing trees like they were the most interesting thing she had ever seen.She had been avoiding me ever since. Not in the obvious, argumentative way she usually did when she was angry. This was quieter and colder. Serena was vocal when she was angry. But this. This was different. She answered when I spoke, but only with the bare minimum. She didn’t look at me unless she had to. The easy tension that normally lived between us had been replaced by something brittle.What could have happened? Did Beatrice Montgomery say something to her?

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: JUST LIKE A HOUSEWIFE SERENA'S POVThe kiss broke something open and then slammed it shut again. Then I snapped out of it.One second Caspian’s mouth was on mine, hard and angry and desperate, and the next second my hands shoved hard against his chest. I pushed him away with all the strength I had left.He stepped back just enough for me to slip past him.I didn’t look at his face. I couldn’t. I bolted into my bedroom and shut the door with more force than necessary. The lock clicked under my fingers. I leaned my full weight against the wood, breathing hard. My lips still tingled. My heart slammed against my ribs like it was trying to escape.What the hell was that? How could I have gotten carried away?I had been yelling at him. I had thrown every sharp thing I could find at his head, the cruel words from the car, the golf club, his past, the way he treated me like a possession. And instead of fighting back with words, he had kissed me.What was wrong with him?
