Chapter: I Know What You Did[Bianca]I felt my body trembling in both frustration and rage. How dare he? Who the hell did he think he was? I didn't care how much money he thought he had, but he was out of his mind if he expected me to simply go down without a fight."B?""B?" Grayson's voice almost startled me, pulling me back to the present. His hand landed gently on my shoulder, causing me to flinch in response. I looked down at my own hands, only now noticing that my fists were clenched so tight my knuckles had turned bone white. Slowly, I unclenched them, letting out a shaky breath as I tried to regain control. "Hey, it's okay," he said, his tone soft. "Maybe just... take it easy, okay? I can stay back for a few days, and help you find somewhere new, somewhere decent. Make sure you're settled."I took another steadying breath, watching as the movers continued packing up my things with a strange, detached focus. I barely heard Grayson as he continued speaking until he said:"Or you could consider my offer,

Chapter: Framed[Bianca]"Bianca Campbell."An officer's voice echoed through the cell block, startling me. I looked up from where I sat on the hard bench, my back aching from the endless hours of staring at the ground. The officer, a broad-shouldered guy with a slight frown and a ring of keys at his waist, nodded at me. "You're free to go. Someone posted bail."I stood up, brushing my hands against my jeans as his keys rattled within the lock. He pulled the cell door open. "Come on out."I walked out of the cell with my head down, my heart pounding, trying to think of an explanation to make what I did sound right.As soon as we rounded the corner into the waiting area, there he was, in dark shades and a purple hoodie: Grayson. The only person I'd thought to call. I broke into a run and threw myself into his arms, burying my face in his chest.His strong hands enveloped me. I'd promised myself I wouldn't cry—I really had. But the moment he began to rub gentle circles on my back, my resolve melted. I

Chapter: Insatiable [Bianca]I groaned, rolling onto my back as I arched slightly. "god...he's a walking thirst trap," I muttered, already annoyed at myself for how true that was. Dante wasn't just attractive; he was downright lethal—the kind of man who could ruin a perfectly good night's sleep just by existing in my thoughts. The kind that was tailor-made to destroy any sense of dignity I had left. My fingers trailed over my shirt, grazing the sensitive skin beneath. No bra, of course. I could barely tolerate that bondage at home. My hand drifted downward, almost against my will, brushing the waistband of my panties, damp enough to confirm that I'd lost this internal battle the moment I opened his photo. Why did he have to look like that? Like some dark angel, shirtless, with a knowing smirk on his face as if he could see right through the screen as if he knew exactly what I was doing at this very moment.I lifted my phone once again, biting down on my lips as my thumb traced his image, recalling every

Chapter: Take Till You Break[Dante]I settled into the back seat, scrolling through emails on my phone, though my focus was far from the screen. From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Keith's glances through the rearview mirror. He didn't look away when our eyes met. Bold, as usual. Finally, I lifted my head."Do, you need something?" I asked casually, my eyes still on the screen. His reaction was immediate—a small hitch of breath, followed by the slightest shift in his grip on the wheel. Keith wasn't the type to shrink under pressure, but he knew better than to test me. Especially with my unpredictable temper. "Just... I've never seen you chat so much with a waitress before. Then you reported her? Seemed out of character."I let the silence settle. My fingers tapped against my phone screen. Keith shifted uncomfortably, glancing at me in the mirror again. He knew how much I disliked being stared at. Keith was one of the few people who could get away with this kind of casual tone around me. He'd known

Chapter: I’ll Ruin You[Bianca] The moment our eyes locked, my entire body tensed. I knew instantly who he was—the same twisted, masked figure from last night. The man responsible for the bruises I'd hidden beneath my uniform, and now he was here, smirking at me like this was all some dark joke."You..." My voice came out in a low hiss, and his gaze narrowed with recognition. Keith, seated across, shifted uneasily, trying to stand, but Dante held up a hand, silencing him with an iron glance. They weren't equals in this relationship—that much was clear.All I wanted to do was wipe that smug look right off his face. I swung my fist, aiming right for his perfect, punchable jaw. Before I even got close, he caught my fist in midair and pulled me straight up to his lap without letting go. His face was close now, so close that I could feel his breath, low and steady against my cheek."Bianca," he murmured in an undertone that sent shivers down my spine. "You're going to keep last night to yourself, aren't you? If

Chapter: Test my Patience—I Dare You [Bianca] "Bianca? Bianca? Earth to Bianca!" Cassie's voice jolted me from my thoughts, pulling me back to the busy clinking of silverware and chatter that filled the high-end restaurant. I blinked and looked up to see her standing a few feet away, hands on her hips, one eyebrow arched. She looked like she was fighting the urge to roll her eyes, but the sigh she let out said it all. I blinked, realizing I'd completely zoned out while holding a tray full of empty wine glasses. Wonderful—on my first day back from the hospital, too. "Sorry, Cassie," I mumbled, straightening up and shaking off the fog in my head. "Just...zoned out," I muttered, managing an apologetic smile. "Yeah, I noticed," she replied, her expression softening a bit as she scanned my face. "Look, I know you're eager to get back on your feet, but maybe this is too soon. I mean... after everything you've been through," she said, dropping her voice as if my recent life crisis
