HIRAM’S POV:

The moment I step into Victor’s office, I know something is wrong. His smile is too broad, and his voice too smooth—like oil trying to slick over something rotten. My gut twists as I watch his composure relax with false ease. I hate myself for not coming with Juniper. I told myself she can handle it, and I didn’t want to annoy her or take up too much of her space.

Victor’s voice breaks through my thoughts. “I love meeting young minds like you,” he says, leaning back in his chair. “It’s inspiring to see someone excel so early in their career. Twenty-nine and already a professor—it’s impressive, truly.”

The praise falls flat, hollow against the rising tension in my chest. My phone buzzes in my pocket, and I pull it out. My breath hitches when I see Juniper’s name on the screen. The message is long, and with every word I read, my blood burns hotter.

My hand tightens around the phone as I take in everything he does to her.

Soon, Victor’s voice just becomes background noise to

    HIRAM’S POV:When I have given the orders, I make my way to my room. I walk in to find June sitting quietly on my bed. The soft light filtering through the curtains casts shadows over her face, but even from here, I can see the tension in her posture.My gaze lingers on her for a few seconds before she looks up and realizes I’m there.“You are here,” she mutters, her voice barely above a whisper, and I shut the door, the sound echoing in the silent room. Without hesitation, I walk toward her.As I close the space between us, she tilts her head up to meet my eyes. The air between us feels heavy, and her eyes look darker than usual. I run my hands gently over the skin beneath them, searching for tears, but they’re dry. It doesn’t matter—I can feel her pain radiating from her.“You must be tired after a long day. Take off your clothes, so you can get some rest,” I say in a soft voice. She nods obediently and rises to her feet, her movements almost robotic.She pulls her clothes off piece

    HIRAM’S POV:After deleting the message, I leave the room, making my way downstairs. Then I find my way to the basement, where Alex’s guys are carrying out the instructions I gave.As I step through the door leading to the basement, my fists tighten at my sides. I descend the stairs with my mind replaying June’s trembling voice, and all I can think of is how lucky Victor is that Juniper needed me tonight. If not, I would be the one hammering my fists into his stupid face until I exhaust the hurt in my chest. It would never be the same as Alex’s men doing it because with me, I may not know when to stop, and I would only send him to his grave early.The air grows heavier with every step, and the scent of damp stone mingles with blood—Victor’s blood, and this only lightens my mood a bit as the low thrum of voices becomes clearer.Finally, I get to the bottom. What greets me is the sound of a fist connecting with flesh, followed by a muffled grunt of pain. I push the door open at once, an

    JUNIPER:I do not know what happened to Victor, but Hiram took care of him. Lola too suddenly vanished from his class, and I have no clue if that is his doing, but I do not care, because I get to be in his class daily without seeing her. The only other class I have with her is history. Since Rhea is in my history class too, I barely notice Lola.Today is Friday, and the last day of school—for the week. Sally let Rhea and me off for the weekend because Rhea’s friend is throwing a bash for his party tonight. I should be at Rhea’s place, but I decide to stop at Hiram’s first.Standing in front of his study, I place a knock at the door.“Who is that?” His gruff tone comes from behind, causing a smile to form on my face.“It’s me, professor,” I say in a tiny voice.“I know it is you, Juniper,” he replies in a flat tone, and I giggle, then pull the door open with my brows drawn down.“God, you are so boring,” I say as I shut the door, making my way toward the row of bookshelves until I find

    JUNIPER’S POV:“We should never do this again,” Hiram starts off as I toss the wipe I used on myself into the waste bin. I turn to face him, raising a brow.“Sex?” I question, and he scoffs.“No, and you know what I am talking about,” he says. I shrug as I walk up to him, resting slightly on the table. “I slipped up today, June, and anything can happen. We are not even sure yet, and...”“I told you I was in my safe zone, or is there another reason you insist?” He shakes his head as I ask, but my gaze doesn’t leave him because I think there is more.“Then what is the problem?” He opens his mouth to speak, but I quickly answer, “You fear I will trap you with a baby, giving you an actual responsibility. Is that what you fear?” I question, and he sighs, getting up from the seat.He zips his pants.“That is not the reason, Juniper,” he says in a calm tone, which for some reason gets me angry.“Then what is it?” My voice comes out harsh.“You are in your third year of school, and you have a

    JUNIPER’S POV:We sway to the music, our bodies moving in time with the beat. The bass thuds through the club, but it feels far away now, muted by the alcohol clouding my mind. By the time Rhea and I collapse on the couch, I’m beyond tipsy. Rhea digs into her purse as her phone buzzes, her fingers fumbling over the zipper. Then she stops, giving off a sigh.“Why did I even bother?” She questions as the phone stops ringing.“Probably my mum reminding us to show up tomorrow on time,” she says, rolling her eyes. I chuckle, leaning my head back against the couch.“That’s not happening. No way.” My words come out sluggishly, but I don’t care. Tomorrow feels like another lifetime, I say to myself, shutting my eyes.“Rhea,” a familiar voice cuts through the haze, and I blink up to see Lyon standing over us, his phone in his hand.His expression shifts between amusement and disapproval. Rhea and I exchange a look before bursting into laughter.Lyon sighs, running a hand down his face.“God, y

    HIRAM’S POV:The moment I have her pinned against the wall, fury surges through me like a tide I cannot control. It’s not just the way she defies me, ignores me, or even laughs at my frustration—it’s the way she pulls me into this chaos and makes me crave it. Her lips part, her breath brushing my neck as I press into her.“Everything is a game to you, Juniper. You have done nothing but test me all day.” My voice rumbles in a low growl, but it does nothing to her. It doesn’t scare her; instead, she stares at me with a smirk, which infuriates me further.My free hand grips her hip, sliding up her bare back, where her strapless dress leaves her skin exposed. The heat of her body seeps into me, but it only feeds the fire.When I tug at her dress, the fabric refuses to break, clinging stubbornly to her. My jaw tightens, and I give it a strong pull, watching as it rips down the middle and pools at her waist. She gasps sharply, but there’s no resistance—only that maddening smirk, driving me

    JUNIPER’S POV:I wake up to a pounding headache, the kind that feels like a rock concert is happening inside my skull. Not surprising, given how much I drank last night. With a groan, I drag a hand over my face, squinting against the bright sunlight streaming through the window.I turn my head, expecting to see Hiram beside me, but the bed is empty. Instead, there’s a neatly folded note on the pillow. Curiosity courses through me, and I grab the note, unfolding it with shaky hands.You’re probably reading this sometime around noon. Maybe even later, but I had to head out for work. Left some painkillers and water on your nightstand to help with the hangover. I love you. Hope you have an amazing day.His words draw a smile to my lips as memories from last night come flooding back—blurry but vivid enough to make me blush. I toss the note aside and reach for the small bottle of painkillers he thoughtfully left behind. After swallowing two pills and washing them down with water, I flop bac

A part of me wants to scream, hoping someone in the apartment will come out, but I know it might only get me killed.For a split second, I freeze, my legs feeling like they’re glued to the pavement. My breath hitches, my pulse throbs in my ears. But then adrenaline surges through me, and I snap into action.I turn around, my hand shaking as I fumble to grab my phone from my bag. My fingers tremble as I dial Hiram’s number, but I realize how useless it is. Hiram is all the way across town, and this man is just a few steps behind.

I bite his palm, causing him to yelp in pain and pull away from me.“You little—!” He grabs my hand, twisting it behind me, and the other man glares at me.“You’re going to regret this. My husband—he’s going to find you. And when he does, you’ll be sorry.” I try to sound confident, but the four of them let out a heart-draining chuckle.The man holding me snorts, his beady eyes narrowing as he glares at me.

I can slowly feel the baby fat creeping in.” He grabs my hand, pulling me away from the mirror.“That’s enough for today.” He wraps his arms around my waist. “You look more beautiful than ever, and there is no baby fat,” he says, then plants a brief kiss on my lips.I adjust his tie, patting his shoulder briefly.“You look so

It will be as though I didn’t leave. Plus, Rhea is here to take care of you, and&hell

While she sleeps, I try to sleep too. I shut my eyes, patting her hair gently, but even as I close my eyes, I find it difficult to drift off to sleep.After a while, I push her head away gently, then I place it on the pillow, planting a kiss on her head before I stand up. My steps are quiet in order not to wake her. I leave the room, heading for the front door to get some fresh air, but the moment I step out of the hallway, I spot Milo sitting in the living room

When we pull up, she rushes toward the car.Before I can open the door, Juniper gets it, rushing toward her mother.“Mum!” she exclaims, throwing her arms around her. Her mother pats her back slightly.
