She pushed herself up from the bed but a violent cough shook her chest before she could even stand.

Fake marriage is chapter 1...there was a little mix-up Chapter 2: Alice's POV The midday sun cast a brilliant glare over the city, bouncing off the towering glass buildings as our sleek black SUV navigated through the bustling streets toward the restaurant. I leaned back in my seat, fingers tapping restlessly against the door handle as my mind wandered back to the stranger from the airport. I couldn’t believe I'd actually considered speaking to him, let alone involving him in my half-baked plan.

Their intense gaze locked. It was a battle of dominance and naivety. "I said lower your arms," Kevin commanded, his unwavering stare fixed upon hers, demanding her surrender—but she did not. Seeing her reluctance, Kevin let out a low, angered huff, frustration simmering within him like a dormant storm. However, just as he was on the verge of taking matters into his own hands, his eyes caught sight of the angry bite mark that was prominently sitting on her shoulder accompanied by a smaller one on her neck. They were of the deepest shade of red.

I wasn't a monster. “You watch too many dramas and always have silly imaginations in your head.” I rolled my eyes at her. “Just eat, let’s leave, we have an early practice today.” I signal her to eat up. Ivana looked down at the tea once more, still hesitating. I wonder what she takes me for. “I would never kill what is mine,” I said firmly and she stared up at me with her blue eyes searching mine, I was sure she didn't believe what I said. “I didn’t poison you, so just eat.” I took a large bite on my bread and chewed.

She promised more details to come. She couldn’t help but feel hopeful and even some happiness in her heart. Everything was finally falling into place. The end of this dark nightmare seemed within reach. It would all be over soon. Grayson would be home safe and sound. The psychos would get him the fuck out of there and kill all those fuckers involved in his kidnapping. The Van Tessin’s wouldn’t get one fucking dime of that money. It would appear that they had been double crossed and the kidnappers took the money and ran. It would also seem they let Grayson live to boot. Good.

my breathing turned rapid. Pushing off the ground, I paced in the tiny cell before him, “I haven’t quite felt like myself since then, Chaz. I crave the taste of the blood of the person who took away the love of my life.” I closed my eyes in pleasure, the idea of ripping the man’s throat out was becoming increasingly appetising, “And you know what, Chaz?” I blinked at him, “If you tell me who’s really responsible for his death, I might have to tear multiple jugulars till my craving is satisfied. Starting with yours.” I pinned him under my stare.

He wrapped me in it and began to pat my skin dry, being surprisingly gentle for a man who had just been a beast. "Five chapters down, Lily," he whispered, his eyes meeting mine in the steam-covered mirror. "We’re halfway through our story. And I have a feeling Chapter 6 is going to involve that balcony." I looked at him, my body feeling alive and buzzed. "I'm not going anywhere." He smiled and led me back into the bedroom, the sun now high in the sky, ready for whatever came next in Room 607.

Chapter 26 Second Lock Mara I woke up in a room I didn’t recognize, which was quickly becoming my least favorite trend. For two whole seconds, I stayed still and pretended I was calm. Then my brain caught up. Gone. Packhouse gone. Gage gone. Wren gone. The hall, the note, the council guards, the smell of polished wood and old power—all gone. I sat up too fast and almost threw up. My arm throbbed under the bandage, the silver burn pulsing like it had a tiny, sadistic heartbeat. Cute. Love that for me.

Zara didn’t argue. She fell asleep between them. Lights on. Marcus’s gun on the nightstand. Damian’s hand resting near hers, not touching. Outside, across the street, Obasi lowered his binoculars. And smiled. END OF CHAPTER 8

"Mr. Vasquez doesn't leave anything to chance. Especially not the things he intends to keep close." End of Chapter 62
