Mirabella's pov

It was late at night, and I was lying on my bed, mindlessly swiping through Tinder, trying to find my next hookup for tomorrow, when a knock came at the door.

"I'm full, Eunice," I called out lazily, not bothering to look away from my phone.

"I’m not having dinner."

The knock came again, but the voice that followed was not Eunice’s.

“It’s me, Bella. Open the door. We need to talk.”

I hissed under my breath, my irritation spiking as soon as I heard Jayden’s voice.

"Bella, open this door now!” He barked as the door handle rattled under his impatient grip.

I scoffed, my eyes still glued to my phone. “Oh, I get it. You had your dinner, and now you are here for dessert, right?”

My voice rose a little. “Well, newsflash, Jayden, that’s not happening anymore. Get over it.”

The rattling stopped for a second, but then there was a loud, sudden crash as the door flew open, slamming against the wall.

My heart jumped into my throat, panic gripping me for a split second, but I ma

    Jayden's povI was supposed to feel satisfied after leaving Mirabella in misery, just as I had planned. Striding toward my study, I expected the usual rush of satisfaction, but instead, an unsettling emptiness crept over me, leaving me confused. “Why am I feeling like this?” I muttered under my breath, my brows furrowed.Normally, I enjoyed seeing her suffer—whether it was through hitting her or using her like she was nothing but a sex slave. But this time, it felt different. Was it guilt? Guilt for leaving her in that condition? The thought annoyed me, yet I could not shake it. My thoughts were interrupted by Eunice’s panicked voice echoing from upstairs. “Mirabella! Mirabella! Wake up!” she screamed. I scoffed, irritation bubbling up. "Why is she yelling like that slut’s fighting for her life?” Maybe this lingering dissatisfaction was just because I had not taken things far enough. Maybe that’s why I felt so off. “Sir, she’s fainted!” Eunice’s frantic shout came again, louder

    Mirabella's povWaking up to the sight of Jayden made my heart race, as though I had come face-to-face with the demon that had haunted my nightmares for years. It felt like he had stepped straight out of my dreams to finally finish what he started—to end me. Those brief moments of unconsciousness had taught me something: no matter what, death could never be an option for me. I had to stay alive, no matter the cost, and make every second count.“What happened? I thought he left,” I rasped, my voice barely above a whisper, as I turned to Eunice after he left the room. I didn’t really expect him to leave because predators don’t let their prey go—not even if it begs. “Yes, but I called for his help when you fainted, and he came back,” she said, smiling as she gently brushed my hair over and over.Her response threw me into confusion."He did?" I whispered in disbelief. "Yes, he did," she replied.I tried to sit up, wanting to get a grip on what was going on, but she gently pushed me b

    Jayden's povPainting usually calmed my mind, but today, it failed me. The strange guilt from putting Mirabella in that situation earlier refused to fade, lingering like an unwelcome shadow. It was not just painting—it was everything. Even the usual distractions of alcohol and sex from the night before had not worked. For the first time, my coping mechanisms had betrayed me. None of this had ever happened before. Painting had always been my last resort, the final escape when all else failed. But now, even that was not enough, and the frustration gnawed at me. Unable to shake the restlessness, I left home early, hoping that burying myself in work would help. Hours passed, but the storm in my head raged. It was during this battle with my thoughts that Zayn finally arrived. I had called for him earlier, needing his presence more than I cared to admit."What about your girlfriend, or is she your fiancee?" I asked him immediately after he sat in front of me."What?!" His eyes widened i

    Jayden's pov "Wait!" Zayn frozen before he slowly turned. When I told him to return to the chair, his jaw slackened, and his eyes widened with unease. I smiled reassuringly. "Relax. I’m not taking back my decision about your relationship. There’s just something else I need to talk to you about." His shoulders sagged with relief, and he smiled faintly before sitting back down. I leaned forward, my tone dropping to something more serious. "What I’m about to tell you is the real reason I called you here. I trust you, and I need this conversation to stay between us." His expression shifted, curiosity flashing in his eyes. "You have my word, boss." "Not even your girlfriend, Zayn. Do you promise me that?" He nodded, affirming that it would remain a secret between us forever. Afterward, I laid it all out for him—everything that had been going on between Mirabella and me. I told him about how I used to treat her, the punishments, the restrictions, the harm I caused, an

    Mirabella's pov"I'm sorry you had to go through all this," Caesar said as he walked into my bedroom, joining Lucy and me. "Well, we both knew the risks," I chuckled. "Remember you said it would either end like this or with that fleeting victory we thought was the finish line." I reminded him.After confirming Jayden had left, I called them with Eunice's phone to break the news. I didn’t expect them to actually show up."I think we should take you to the hospital," Lucy suggested."You need proper treatment. Self-care won’t cut it.""That’s not an option," I replied, shaking my head. "If I leave this mansion again, he might actually kill me. Besides," I added with a forced laugh, "Eunice’s treatment this morning helped a lot. The bruises are already feeling better.""But—" Lucy began, worry still etched on her face.Caesar cut in before she could finish. "She’s right, honey. She’s been through enough already."He strode confidently toward the bed where I lay, hands buried in his po

    Mirabella's pov The door creaked open, and my heart, already racing, pounded harder against my chest. "Stay calm, Bella," I said to myself, but calm was impossible when he was near me after what I had almost gone through at his hands. "Good evening, Mirabella." His voice was soft, as if he were not the same man who had left bruises on my skin. I shifted on the bed, pressing my back against the headboard. My fingers gripped the blanket like it was the only thing tethering me to life. Was this another game? Was he luring me into a false sense of security before unleashing more pain? His gait and demeanour were cool, but I knew better. It was nothing but a facade. I also knew his smile was hiding whatever malice simmered beneath. “How are you feeling? Did you sleep well today?” His question made me shift on the bed as my legs instinctively pulled closer to my chest. I felt like a prey trapped under the gaze of a predator as he approached me. "What is he up to this night? To cont

    Mirabella's pov I heaved a heavy sigh of relief when the door opened to reveal Eunice. Her face eased the tension that had knotted my stomach. “You scared me,” I muttered, pressing a hand to my chest. She smiled as she stepped inside. “You thought it was him, didn’t you?” I didn’t answer, but my silence said enough. She crossed the room and sat beside me on the edge of the bed. “You should get changed,” she announced. My brows furrowed in confusion. “Changed? For what?” “To go to the hospital.” She grinned like it was the most natural thing in the world. I scoffed, shaking my head. “Enough with the jokes. Jayden is home. How is that possible?" Her smile did not falter. “What if he gave the order?” My breath hitched. "He gave the order?” I repeated, the disbelief thick in my voice. "Why would he— No. Stop. Just tell me the real reason you are here. Does he want me at the dining table or what?” “No,” she replied calmly, gently pushing me back when I tried to sit

    Jayden's pov I was in my study room that night, the dim light from my desk lamp casting long shadows across the walls as I tried to distract my mind by reading when Zayn returned from the hospital. I later joined him in the living room. "Why didn't you take her by yourself instead of me, boss?" He asked, his voice tight with the frustration he did not hide well, despite the casual way he sat down across from me. I looked up at him, startled by the question. My mind was still processing our conversation from earlier, but his words had hit a nerve. I met his gaze, my eyes narrowing. "I'm disappointed to hear that from you. Need I remind you of the implication of it?" He blinked, caught off guard, before leaning back on the sofa. "Implication?" His voice was laced with confusion. "You mean people thinking that you were the one behind the state she's in?" I scoffed, shaking my head. His thinking was so off it almost made me laugh. People already knew I had a reputation for s

    Mirabella's pov“Why are you trying to drink yourself to death?” I asked Jayden, surprise and shock still etched on my face. He didn't say anything but only stared at the ceiling as though it held the answers to every question he was too tired to ask. The Jayden I knew was sharp, always in control. But version of him looked... shattered and exposed, a shift that had been obvious since he struck the boy. "Why are you doing this to yourself?" I asked gently, moving a little closer. He muttered something under his breath, too low to catch at first, but the words eventually registered.“What if the boy dies, uh?” His eyes darted to mine, wild and glassy, searching me for something I didn’t understand. "I can't just stop wondering about the possibility no matter how hard I try not to."It was hard to ignore the state he was in."You are drunk, Jayden," I said, closing the distance between us after realising there was no point in having this conversation with him again. "Come on, l

    Mirabella's pov "Did we... Is he dead?" My eyes shot wide with shock, locking with Jayden's equally panicked gaze. Without a word, he unbuckled his seatbelt and jumped out of the car. I hurried after him, heart pounding as we approached the front. "Shit!" he muttered, his voice strained with panic. He crouched down immediately, pulling the boy toward him. Blood was seeping out fast, staining the floor. "Is he...?" "He's alive," he said suddenly, his face lighting up with relief as he felt for a pulse. "He's alive, Bella!" he repeated, a shaky laugh escaping him. Around us, a crowd had started to gather. Some were filming on their phones, others just standing there, watching like it was a movie. "Are you all seriously just standing there?" Jayden's voice boomed. "Put your damn phones down and help!" His shout echoed through the street, cutting through the murmurs. But no one did. "We should call an ambulance," I said quickly, turning back to the car to grab my p

    Jayden's povIf there was one thing that still got under my skin, even after things had started to shift between Mirabella and me, it was how she still was not completely at ease around me. "What do you want to listen to?" I asked as I prepared to drive out of the mansion, my fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel. She turned her head to me, eyes narrowed like I had asked a tricky question. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "Come on, don't overthink it. What genre do you like, dummy?" A small laugh escaped her lips as realisation dawned on her, and for a second, I felt the warmth of it. "Anything works, I guess," she shrugged. Her answer rubbed me the wrong way, and I could not hide the flicker of disappointment on my face. I still could not wrap my head around why she was still walking on eggshells around me. "Come on," I said with a short laugh, masking how I really felt. "How can you say that? You can’t be serious. Just name something. Any artiste or genre. Just name it

    Mirabella's povIt turned out to be Jayden as he leaned casually against the doorframe."Relax, it's just me," he said, throwing his hands up in the air with that stupidly charming grin of his."I'm not here to steal anything from you or harm you."I rolled my eyes as a faint smile tugged at my lips."Oh really? Then why exactly are you sneaking into a girl's room uninvited? Pretty sure that's called trespassing, you know." I chuckled, my brows furrowing playfully.He shrugged, trailing his gaze down my body with a slow, deliberate stare that made my cheeks flush. "Well... just making sure things are in perfect ways."My breath caught in my throat as my mind raced to decipher what he meant by that. "Things like?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, the smile still lingering on my lips despite the heat creeping up my neck.His smirk deepened, and he took a step closer, his presence filling the room with an almost tangible intensity. "Things like making sure your appearance is p

    Mirabella's pov The fear and foreboding that had hung over my time with Jayden seemed to fade with each passing day. Our silent meals in the dining room, which I always expected to end in having sex with him, which didn't, began to include small conversations. They were not much, just fragments, but enough to make me realise he could be something other than the cold and ruthless man I first knew. Evening walks through the mansion followed, requested in a surprisingly humble tone instead of his usual commanding bark whenever he did want to make me do things, and even shopping trips, where he bought me anything I desired. If someone had told me this shift would happen between us, I would have laughed in disbelief. Yet, here I was, growing oddly comfortable around him. This made me recall Eunice and Lucy’s observations, trying to follow their suggestions in the hope of bridging whatever strange gap lay between him and me. Standing in front of the mirror in my room, a faint smile cur

    Jayden's pov"I’m lost, Ariana," I admitted, my voice uncharacteristically low."I’ve never felt like this before. Never. For the first time in my life, I want someone—not for control, not to conquer—but because I need her. And it’s messing me up." I ran a hand through my hair, my frustration bubbling to the surface. "Do you have any idea how hard it is for someone like me to admit this? To feel like I’m begging for scraps of attention? She’s all I think about, but I feel like I’m hitting a wall every time I try to get through to her. And it’s driving me insane." She stayed silent, her expression unreadable as I continued. "I know I don’t deserve her," I said, my voice dropping even lower. "Not after everything I’ve done. I could force her, sure—I’ve forced people into things before; we both know that. But this… It’s about her being the one thing in my life that is real." "I... I just want her to choose me. I want it to be real, Ariana. I want her to want me on her own. Not becau

    Jayden's povI could not keep humiliating myself by confessing my feelings to Mirabella over and over again. Her constant doubt about my intentions and the way she avoided me were getting under my skin. It frustrated me to no end, tempting me to do things I did not want to resort to. I was not used to being denied what I wanted—no matter how far or difficult it was to reach. Sure, I was in love with her. But if I wanted to, I could force her to fall for me because the calm I had been wearing to wait for her acceptance could slip at any moment. Yet, before taking that route, I figured I should talk it out with Ariana first after confessing my love to Mirabella for the second time, since she was always pushing me to become a better version of myself.When I arrived at Ariana’s door and knocked, I was not sure if I was more amused or shocked when a guy opened it. He stood there like he owned the place, wearing nothing but a pair of black underpants that hung low on his hips. My eyes

    Mirabella pov"Good morning, Mirabella," Jayden said.I froze, my gaze locking with his as my breath caught in my throat. This was exactly what I was avoiding, yet here I was, caught in his intense gaze. "Shit," I cursed inwardly, unsure whether to retreat back to my room or proceed with my original plan. My hesitation must have been obvious, but he seemed unfazed as his lips quirked into a faint smile. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, never breaking eye contact. "I see you are feeling better for you to walk from your room all the way down here. That’s… good to know." His casual tone contrasted with the tension simmering in the air. My chest tightened, berating myself for coming downstairs at all. "What was I even thinking?"Finally, I decided to end this humiliating encounter and spun on my heel, aiming to retreat to the safety of my room. I moved so quickly that I tripped over my own feet. My heart lurched as I braced for an embarrassing fall. But it never came as a hand gr

    Mirabella's povA knock rattled my door, breaking the fragile bubble of sleep I had barely managed to slip into. I groaned, pulling the pillow over my head. My eyes cracked open, still weighed down with sleep, as Jayden’s words from last night echoed faintly in my mind: "It’s because I love you.”It sounded even more absurd now in the daylight, like a dream that had overstayed its welcome.I still could not figure out if I should laugh or panic. Love? Him? The same man who had terrorised me like it was a hobby? I quickly rubbed the sleep from my eyes, my heart racing with panic just as the knock came again, more insistent this time. I froze, thinking it was Jayden, here to finally unleash his wrath on me."Mirabella?” Eunice’s voice echoed from behind the door."Come in,” I mumbled, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes as I stretched my arms above my head.The door creaked open, and she stepped in.As she walked towards me, her eyes scanned me from head to toe like I was a
