Cultivación

My throat burned as he wrapped his hand around it, his grip was firm but not crushing—cold steel pressed against my neck, the knife. I gasped, my bag slipping from my shoulder. It hit the ground with a dull thud, spilling open, and my book tumbled out. He glanced down, bent, picked it up, and flipped it open. His eyes skimmed the page. Then his mouth curved into something that wasn’t quite a smile, a dark smirk, like he knew exactly what I had been reading. And worse, he saw the notes. My handwriting in the margins, messy lines of ink: God, I wish someone would ruin me like this. I shouldn’t like it, but I do. Imagine the knife on me instead. Heat exploded in my face. I wanted the ground to swallow me. His eyes lifted back to mine, and I couldn’t breathe. ***** I was just a college freshman, lost in dark romance novels and fantasies of forbidden love. But my life took a deadly turn when I stumbled upon a mafia boss's secret in a dimly lit alley. Little did I know, the killer I witnessed would become my professor, and my obsession would become my downfall. Now, I'm trapped in a game of cat and mouse, where the stakes are higher than I ever imagined. My obsession grows with every passing moment, and I'm forced to confront the shadows within myself. But not everything is what it seems. What begins as an obsession may turn into something far more dangerous….. like revenge.

I stood there with tears in my eyes that day. I knew I was not deeply in love with Dean, but I loved him in the way a wife could. I had always suspected he was there for the fortune, but seeing him stand with another woman cut deep. Betrayal always does. And that was when he came—the man who would change everything, the man I would end up falling for, the man I would one day want to give everything to. Kaden Mitchell. He offered me a way out when I thought it was all over. Charming and imposing, he broke through every defense I had built, dragging me out of the darkness and giving me something to hold on to. A marriage contract. What started as a calculated deal quickly became more than I anticipated. And now, with Kaden Mitchell by my side holding the key to my heart, I have to ask myself: how much am I willing to risk…for love, for power…for revenge?
