Zoe's P.O.V.

I had always imagined my first kiss to be a tingling excitement, with butterflies in my stomach and a racing heart. But as Liam leans in to kiss me, I feel nothing—no flutter in my chest, no skipped beats, no spark or passion.

I turn my face away, avoiding his lips. "Liam, I'm sorry," I say, gently pushing him back. "I can't do this."

He looks at me, confusion and hurt written across his face. "Did I do something wrong?"

I shake my head. "No. It's just that I want to take things slow. I hope you don't mind."

His face softens, and he nods. "Of course, Zoe. I respect that."

"Thank you for understanding," I say, giving him a small smile.

Liam is kind and sweet, and I do like him, but why didn't I feel anything when he was about to kiss me? Maybe I just need more time.

Liam had brought me to his place from the club to show me his library, which led to this moment.

As we step out of his library, my phone dings in my sling bag. I take it out and see a text from Sky.

    Sky's P.O.V.At night, as I lie in bed, my mind swirls with thoughts of how to keep Zoe away from Liam. Every time I close my eyes, I see Liam trying to kiss her, and it makes my blood boil. I can't let that happen. I won't.Liam should never come to know the taste of Zoe's lips.

Liam, you shouldn't have come between us.Zoe's concerned expression and his serious demeanour confirm my suspicions: Liam has told her about the call.I feel a pang of guilt, but I quickly shove it aside.

    Sky's P.O.V."What's on your mind, Trouble?" I ask Zoe. She sits beside me on the mat, her eyes focused on the water.Without shifting her gaze, she responds, "I was wondering what if Liam is lying to me."My brows furrow in confusion. "What do you mean?""Two days ago, I didn't let him kiss me. Maybe now he doesn't want me in his life, so he lied about the call to push me away." She finally turns to look at me, her eyes filled with uncertainty.The idea of Liam lying to her feels like a gift wrapped in guilt. It means Zoe is doubting him, and that's exactly what I need. But seeing her so conflicted makes me feel like a monster.Fuck! What am I becoming?I place my hand on hers, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Zoe, if Liam is playing games with you, he doesn't deserve you. You deserve someone who is honest and genuinely cares about you."Anyway, Liam doesn't deserve Zoe at all. He cowardly pushed her away after a single phone call. If I were in his position, I would have confronted t

    Alex’s P.O.V.I pull the car off the main road and head down the narrow path leading to my beach villa. The drive was quiet, but I could feel Stella glancing at me every few minutes.We turn into the long driveway. Stella shifts in her seat and her eyes widen as she takes in the view. The villa sits at the edge of the sand. It has the modern glass-and-wood design. The sound of the ocean is faint, but it’s there, constant and calming.I park the car and glance over at Stella. She’s still staring out the window, her eyes filled with amazement.“Is this yours?” She asks, turning her face towards me with a look of disbelief.I nod, unbuckling my seatbelt. “Yeah. My father gifted me this place a few years ago. Ever since then, it’s been my escape when I need to get away from everything.” I pause, my fingers drumming on the steering wheel. “You’re the first person I’ve brought here.”Stella’s eyes glimmer with something unreadable, and she turns back to look at the villa. “It’s beautiful,”

She lets out a startled yelp, her arms flailing as she loses her balance. Immediately, Selena and I catch her before she can fully tumble down.“Whoa! Are you okay?” I ask, steadying her with a firm grip.She grabs my arm, laughing, though her face pales. “Yeah, I’m fine. As usual, I’m getting in trouble.” She winces, leaning a little heavier on us.Selena gives her other arm, and the three of us make it down the stairs more slowly this time.As we near the canteen door, I spot Alex and Sky sitting at a table. Their heads turn toward us just when Zoe stumbles again. Sky, who had been lazily slouched in his seat, immediately jumps up, his eyes widening as he rushe

The way she responded and how wet she was, it clearly seemed that she enjoyed being in my control as well.Damn! Stella is driving me crazy. I’m dying to claim her as mine. But I’m still stopping myself because I’m scared. What if Stella regrets this in the future?Although we have already crossed the line, something inside me keeps holding back. Maybe it’s the guilt, the nagging voice in my head telling me this is wrong. Or maybe it’s the fear of losing Stella. She’s not just another woman to me—she’s everything. And if she regrets this, if she sees what we’re doing as a mistake, I don’t think I could handle it.“Alex…” As Stella places his hand on my arm, I jolt back to reality.

I still can’t believe that Alex stepped into the kitchen for me.Why is he making me feel so special and worthy?Whatever it is, I’m just liking it. For now, I just don’t want to think that he is my stepbrother and what we’re doing is wrong. I just want him to be with me.

    Alex’s P.O.V. I scoop Stella into my arms after making her cum hard on my fingers, and she buries her face in my chest, encircling her arms around my neck. I carry her towards the bed and gently lay her down on it. After leaning down, I run my fingers through her hair. “Feeling better now.” She looks at me with a smile on her face. After a long week, finally, her smile reaches to her eyes, and it gives me immense peace. She responds, her eyes fixed on me. “Better? Feeling so good now. Thank you, Alex.” “Don’t thank me because I’m doing this for myself.” Listening to my words, her brows narrow in confusion. “For yourself?” Grinning at her, I lie down beside her. As I pull her into my arms, she doesn’t resist. Instead, she snuggles up into me. I can feel her warm breath on my chest, which is sending shivers down my spine. I answer her, “I can’t see you in pain, Flower. It hurts me. That’s why I’m ready to do anything to make you feel better.” She lifts her head from my chest an

It’s like Alex’s gaze is devouring me, stripping away all the pain with each passing second. I feel the wetness between my legs just from the way he’s looking at me.“Do it, Flower.” He commands again, pulling me back to the earth.I obey, stepping in front of the full-length mirror that takes up one wall of his room. My reflection stares back at me, and I wonder. Am I really worthy of this? Of him?‘I’m bored with you. Your body doesn’t even turn me on anymore. No curves, no excitement. You’re not a desirable woman. You never satisfied me.’ As Jade’s cruel words ring in my ears, my eyes well up with tears.Don’t cry, Stella. Just don’t cry again.“What’s wrong?” Alex asks, standing behind me, his hands gently gripping my arms as he looks at me in the mirror.

It’s so wrong.Seated on the corner seat, I sip the drink in my hand, but the alcohol does little to numb the pain. It’s like I’m trapped in my mind, no matter how much I try to distract myself.I watch as people laugh, drink, and let loose, wishing I could do the same.

I wish I could take away all her pain.I climb out of the car and head to the entrance, where I meet one of Gabriel’s men.“They’re inside,” he informs me. “Tied up, just like you requested.”I give him a curt nod and follow him through the corridor. I can hear the faint muffled voices of Jade and Leah.When we reach the room, I see them bound to chairs, their faces pale and drenched with sweat. They’re struggling against the ropes, shouting and screaming at the men who brought them here. The sight of them like this brings a satisfying smile to my face. This is just the beginning.
