Sleep was indefinable, and every creak, every light rustle of the wind, set her nerves on tip.

Victor’s earlier words echoes in her mind: “You can try to run, but I’ll always find you.”

She clenched the sheets in her fists, her teeth grinding in frustration.

But her thoughts were cut by an unfamiliar sound. It wasn’t the usual sound of the house’s nightly activities or the soft footsteps of the guards guarding outside. This was something sharper.

Her heart raced as the sound grew closer; a slow, and calculated sound just outside her door. She froze, her heart pounding in her ears.

The handle of her bedroom door twisted slightly, stopping just short of unlocking.

Someone was there.

Olivia got out of bed, her movements were quiet and cautious. She pressed herself against the wall near the window, her eyes were fixed on the door. For a moment, the handle stilled.

And then, without warning, the door burst open.

Victor was in his study, seeing his documents under the light of his desk lamp

    Victor was in his study, speaking in low voice over the phone. The tension in his voice was unspeakable.“You assured me this wouldn’t happen again,” he said, his fingers gripped the edge of his desk. “If there’s another attack, I’ll hold you personally responsible.”Olivia was outside the door; her heartbeat was racing. She knew eavesdropping was risky, but still she leaned closer to hear.“They’re rising,” Victor continued, his voice was hard. “We need to send a message back…a clear one. Make sure they understand who they’re dealing with.”Her heart stopped. Who is 'they'? What kind of war is he fighting?Suddenly, the door opened and Victor stepped out. He paused when he saw Olivia standing there. His sharp eyes locked onto hers and for a moment, neither of them speaks.“Eavesdropping, Olivia?” he asked, his voice was calm.She

Victor turned to her.“This isn’t time to argue,” he said coldly.“I’m not going to hide while your men risk their lives!” Olivia said with her fists clenched. “You’ve been training me, haven’t you? Let me help.”Victor stepped closer to her. “This isn’t some sparring match. These men won’t hesitate to kill you.”“And hiding will make me safer?” she countered, her voice trembles. “If I’m going to survive, I need to fight.”For a moment, Victor didn’t say anything, his jaw clenching as he weigh

Her eyes trembled shut, and panic goes through Victor like a wave.“Damn it!” he roared; his voice echoed room.

He locked eyes with Sergei, his lips curled into a cold smirk.“You should’ve aimed better,” Victor taunted, his voice steady despite the pain.Sergei chuckled darkly, circling around Victor like a predator toying with its prey. “Oh, trust me, Victor, I never miss. But this isn’t about killing you…not yet.”The sound of boots shuffling behind him forced Victor to look back. Sergei’s men closed in, their guns trained on him.

    Victor hold Olivia's hand; his grip was firm yet trembling with urgency. He yanked her forward, pulling her into the hallway. The light smell of smoke reached her nose, and her heart stopped.“Victor, what’s happening?” she asked, struggling to keep up with his step.“Sergei,” Victor growled. “He has made his move.”The air grew colder as they descended the staircase, the light glow of flames flaming at the edges of the house’s other side. Panic passed through Olivia as the heat increased.“This place is on fire!” she gasped, yanking her hand free.Victor stopped, turning to face her. His face was a storm of anger. “That’s why we need to move. Do you trust me or not?”Olivia hesitated.

Her wrists burned where the zip ties bit into her skin, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the chaos in her chest.Victor. The image of him bleeding out on the ground haunted her, and guilt teared her insides. How had everything flown so far out of control?The two men nearby her remained silent, their eyes fixed ahead.

    The sound of the helicopter blades filled the cabin, but the stiffness inside was suffocating. Victor sat slumped against the seat; his jaw clenched as Olivia pressed a cloth against his side. Blood coming through the bandage, its dark red stain was against her shaking hands.“You’re going to bleed out if you don’t let me stitch this properly,” she snapped, her voice trembled.Victor’s eyes go to her, a light smirk on his lips. “You’ve grown bold, haven’t you?”She stared at him. “Maybe I’ve finally had enough of your orders.”Before he could respond, Dmitri’s voice cut through the moment. “We’ve got a problem.”Olivia saw toward the cockpit.

    The air was cold as Victor’s car sped through the dark streets. Olivia sat beside him, her hands trembling in her lap, her mind replaying the events of the ambush. The chaos from the night hadn’t worn off, and her heart still raced.Victor was unusually silent, his jaw tight and his hands gripping the steering wheel. He hadn’t said a word since they left the warehouse, but the storm in his eyes was impossible to miss.“I didn’t mean to…” Olivia began, breaking the silence, but Victor cut her off with a sharp glare.“Not now,” he said, his voice low and commanding.Olivia swallowed her words, biting her lip as she turned to look out the window. The city lights blurred past.They pulled into the driveway of Victor’s mansion, the gates closing securely behind them. Victor got out of the car without a word, his long steps carrying him towards the house. Olivia hesitated before following, unsure of what awaited her.Inside, Victor paced the living room like a caged animal, his frustration

    The morning sun cast a soft glow over the mansion, but Olivia’s mind was anything but calm. She sat in the library, a quiet corner of Victor’s expansive home that she had come to cherish. A heavy book rested in her lap, but the words on the pages fades as her thoughts drifted to the events of the night before.Victor’s touch lingered like a phantom on her skin. She had spent the night in his arms, his possessive grip refusing to let her go even in sleep. And while her body still felt the echoes of his dominance, her mind was at war. Was his obsession love, or something darker?As she tried to shake off the memory, her eyes fell on a file left on the nearby desk. It was unlike Victor to leave anything out in the open, he guarded his secrets fiercely. Curiosity tugged at her, and despite the risk, she reached for the folder.Inside were documents, maps, and photographs. At first glance, they seemed to be intelligence reports on Victor’s enemies. But as she flipped through the pages, her

    The tension in the mansion was deep, like the calm before a storm. Olivia had barely slept since the incident at the southern gate. Whispers among the staff spoke of an organized attack, though Victor had kept the details from her.The next morning, she found him in his study, surrounded by maps, documents, and his most trusted advisors. His expression was as cold and calculating as ever, but the dark circles under his eyes betrayed his exhaustion.“Victor,” she said, stepping into the room.His head snapped up, his sharp eyes softening slightly when he saw her. “You shouldn’t be here,” he said, though there was no bite in his voice.Ignoring his warning, Olivia approached the table. “I want to help.”The room fell silent as Victor’s men exchanged uneasy glances. One of them, a tall man with a scar on his left eye, cleared his throat. “Sir, with all due respect, this is no place for…”“She stays,” Victor interrupted, his voice leaving no room for argument.The man nodded and stepped b

    The following morning, the sunlight came through Olivia’s windows, its warmth was opposite to the cold tension of the night before. Her mind replays the events in the archives, the look of fear and willpower on Victor’s face as he swore to protect her. It left her tensed, torn between gratitude for his protection and frustration at the cage he kept her in.The knock at her door startled her. Before she could answer, the door swung open, and Victor stepped inside. He was perfectly dressed, as always, but there was a softness in his eyes she wasn’t used to seeing.“I’ve arranged for you to have access to the gardens,” he said without introduction.Olivia blinked, unsure if she’d heard him correctly. “The gardens?”He nodded. “You’ve been closed up inside for too long. You deserve a bit of fresh air.”She stared at him, her mind racing. Was this a joke? Some kind of test? But his expression betrayed nothing but sincerity.“Thank you,” she said cautiously.Victor steps closer, his fingers

    Olivia sat on her bed, her knees drawn up to her chest, staring out the massive window of Victor’s mansion. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in colors of orange and red, but its beauty did little to ease the storm inside her.Victor’s words from the night echoes in her heart: You’re everything.She had seen the fear in his eyes, the desperation in his voice when he’d begged her to stay out of his affairs. He wasn’t just trying to control her; he was terrified of losing her.It was a revelation that both softened and confused her. Victor’s actions… his overprotectiveness, his jealousy, even his violence wasn’t just about power or control. They were born from a place of deep, all-consuming love.But was it love?Olivia hugged her knees tighter. Love was supposed to be tender and freeing, not suffocating and cruel. And yet, there were moments like when he held her in his arms or whispered her name that made her heart ache.The door creaked open, pulling her from her tho

    Olivia’s heart tightens as she watched Victor pace back and forth in his study, his phone pressed against his ear. His voice, sharp and commanding, carried through the room as he barked orders to his men.The mansion was still winding from Emilia’s bold attack. Broken glass littered the hallways. Olivia knew she was walking on a fine line, but she couldn’t stand by while chaos consumed them.When Victor ended the call, she cleared her throat. “Victor, we need…..”He shot her a warning glance. “Not now, Olivia.”“No, we’re talking now,” she said, standing her ground.Victor’s jaw tightens, but he said nothing, his silence granting her permission to continue.“I think I can help,” she said, her voice softening. “If Emilia wants revenge, then maybe we can offer her something that will make her back off. A truce, or...”Victor’s sharp laugh cut her off. “You think you can reason with someone like Emilia? She doesn’t want a truce, Olivia. She only wants blood.”“But have you even tried?” s

    The air in the estate was cold. News of the ambush had spread quickly among Victor’s men, and the once-solid fortress now felt fragile. Olivia sat in her room, her thoughts racing. Victor hadn’t returned since the gunshot, and the guard who escorted her inside had offered no answers.She paced back and forth, her mind flickering between anger and worry. The kiss they had shared earlier haunted her…. how close they had been, how real it felt. And yet, it only made his sudden absence more unbearable.A sharp knock at the door snapped her from her thoughts. Before she could respond, the door swung open, and Victor stepped inside. He looked different, wild, his shirt stained with blood, though it didn’t appear to be his.“Victor!” she exclaimed, rushing towards him. “What happened? Are you okay?”He held up a hand, stopping her in her tracks. His expression was dark, his usual controlled posture was at the edges. “I’m fine,” he said curtly. “But things are about to get worse.”Olivia’s he

    Victor’s estate was quieter than usual, yet the silence seemed on edge. The threat from the rival gang hung over everything, but inside the mansion, there was a different kind of battle steeped between Victor and Olivia…. one of control, trust, and a promising connection.Victor had always been cautious, keeping Olivia under a metaphorical lock and key. However, something in her recent decision to cooperate had softens him. Though she still bristled against his authority, her willingness to acknowledge the danger surrounding them marked a light shift in their dynamic.That morning, Victor summoned Olivia to his office. When she entered, she noticed how different he looked. His usually harsh expression had softened, and there was an unusual calm in him.“You wanted to see me?” Olivia asked, keeping her voice even.Victor gestured for her to sit, his dark eyes scanning her face. “I’ve been thinking,” he began. “Perhaps it’s time to loosen some of the restrictions.”Her eyebrows shot up

    Victor’s presence had become even more suffocating in the past few days. It wasn’t just his eyes watching her from everywhere, but the constant tension, the weight of the knowledge that danger was always lurking just out of sight. Olivia could feel it, an undercurrent of danger that surrounded both of them, stronger than ever.She had never seen him like this, his eyes dark with unspoken worry, his jaw tight, his movements more guarded. The cold and calculated Victor she had known seemed to be slipping away, replaced by someone who, was increasingly desperate to protect her.It was frightening.Tonight, as she walked through the hallways of the mansion, she couldn’t ignore the way the guards’ eyes lingers on her… sharp. Something had changed.A knock at the door startled her from her thoughts.“Come in,” she called, still uneasy about the entire situation.Victor entered in without hesitation. His sharp eyes saw the room, as if ensuring everything was in its place.“Olivia,” he said,
