Petal's POV

Trapped in His World

The room was filled with the soft clinking of utensils against porcelain as I sat at the dining table, my appetite completely gone. The air felt thick, suffocating, as I tried to focus on anything other than the man sitting across from me. Sebastian. His presence alone sent shivers down my spine, a mix of fear and something else I refused to acknowledge.

"Go ahead, darling," his voice was deceptively calm, laced with a dark amusement that made my stomach churn. "Do what you want to do."

I clenched my fists beneath the table, feeling utterly powerless. His silver-blue eyes burned into mine, unyielding, daring me to challenge him.

"I can also say that you were with a fucking jerk who had not-so-good intentions about you," he continued, his voice dropping into something dangerously smooth. "So, I scared that boy away to protect you. And about making you stay here and kissing you..." A smirk curled on his lips, his fingers tapping against the table in

    petal's pov A Captive Flower The car rolled to a smooth stop in front of my house, and relief flooded my veins. My fingers reached for the seatbelt, eager to free myself, but before I could fully unbuckle it, I heard a sharp click. My heart stopped. I tried pulling the door handle, but it wouldn’t budge. A sinking feeling pooled in my stomach as I turned my head toward Sebastian, my captor for the evening. His lips curled into a smirk, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the steering wheel as if amused by my sudden panic. “Stay away from that jerk… Jake, or whatever his name is,” his voice was dangerously calm, but the underlying warning was clear. “And don’t trust any boys, Petal. Believe me when I say punishment, I mean it.” The car felt suffocating. His scent, dark and intoxicating, filled the space, wrapping around me like an invisible noose. My throat was dry, my body frozen. “I think you don’t want to be punished after what happened today, right, my little flower?”

    petal's pov A Tension-Filled Invitation "I was coming to your house to talk about the party on Wednesday. On the way, I saw Petal with her friend Samy, so I picked her up," Sebastian said, smirking slightly. My mother didn’t notice his smirk, but I did. That smug, knowing expression on his face made me uneasy, but I didn’t say anything. Instead, I just nodded, watching him carefully, trying to find any trace of a lie. But his expression was calm—too calm. He was good at hiding things. I didn’t want to stand there any longer, so I excused myself and went to my room. As soon as I closed the door behind me, I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. My heart was still pounding from this morning’s events. I didn’t want to think about it. I didn’t want to remember the way he had stolen my first kiss, the way his grip had felt too tight, too possessive. I shook my head and exhaled, forcing those memories to the back of my mind. I changed into something more comfortable—a loose

    petal's pov A Reluctant Invitation “Mom, can I not go, please?” I asked, my voice laced with desperation as I followed her around the kitchen. My fingers gripped the edge of the dining table as if anchoring myself to safety. The thought of going there again made my stomach churn with anxiety. Mom barely glanced at me as she continued chopping vegetables. “No arguments about this topic, Petal. We are going, and that’s final,” she said firmly, leaving no room for discussion. I swallowed hard, feeling my last shred of hope vanish. She didn’t understand. She didn’t know what had happened last time—what he did to me. Or maybe she just didn’t care. To her, this was just another social gathering, an opportunity to maintain connections with powerful people. But for me, it was a nightmare waiting to repeat itself. Biting my lip, I fought the urge to scream in frustration. “But, Mom—” “Enough,” she interrupted, turning to face me. Her eyes held that familiar stern look, the one that mean

    Petal’s POV I stepped outside from bathroom to my room, switched off the lights, and laid down on my bed. Even though I had slept in the afternoon, I wasn't feeling sleepy at all. My mind kept going back to the events of the past two days, playing them over and over again like a movie stuck on replay. I had initially thought that what happened during dinner was just Sebastian being helpful—maybe even polite in his own strange way—but after what happened yesterday and today, I was sure he was up to something. How could he just kiss me like that? My cheeks flushed at the mere thought of it. He had no right. I barely even understood him, yet he acted as if he had some claim over me. I tossed to my side, hugging my pillow tightly. I just needed to avoid him at any cost. That was the only way I could make sure he wouldn't try anything again. But then… the party. I sighed in frustration. Samy had said I hadn't done anything wrong, and she was right. If I hadn’t done anything, why should

    Petal’s POV The anticipation in my chest grew as Samy and I stepped into the living room where my family waited. My mother’s warm eyes softened as she took in our appearance, a gentle smile curving her lips. "You both look stunning," she complimented, adjusting the neckline of my dress slightly. My father nodded approvingly. "Elegant and graceful, just as expected." A small blush crept onto my cheeks. "Thank you, Dad." Samy, beside me, beamed. "Tonight's going to be fun!" she chirped, her excitement barely contained. We made our way to the cars. My father, mother, and Max took one, while Samy and I chose to ride together in her sleek black sedan. As we pulled out of the driveway, my heart pounded a little harder. Sebastian Knight. I hadn’t seen him in a long time, yet the thought of crossing paths with him again made my stomach flutter in an unfamiliar way. The city lights blurred past as we drove through the streets, the hum of the engine filling the silence between us. Samy,

    Petal's Pov The Dance of Jealousy and Control The evening shimmered with dazzling chandeliers and soft melodies, setting an atmosphere of sophistication and elegance. Samy and I were lost in our usual banter, talking about random things, when an unfamiliar yet undeniably attractive man approached us. He appeared to be around Sebastian's age or perhaps slightly younger, but while he was handsome, he wasn’t as strikingly magnetic as Sebastian. My mind immediately scolded me for the comparison. Why are you even thinking about Sebastian? Why does he always creep into your thoughts, even when he’s nowhere near? His sharp green eyes scanned me with curiosity, a smirk playing on his lips. "You look new here." I frowned slightly. "I’m not." He chuckled. "Then how come I’ve never seen you before?" Samy arched an eyebrow. "Because she doesn’t attend useless parties." The stranger’s lips curled into a charming smirk as he turned his full attention toward me. "Hey, beautiful lady, may I ha

    petal's pov Trapped in the Lion’s Den The air inside the grand mansion was thick with music, laughter, and the clinking of glasses, yet none of it could drown out the feeling of his eyes on me. Sebastian. I could still feel his gaze searing through me like a dagger, even as I tried to ignore him. It wasn’t just a look—it was something far more dangerous. An unspoken threat. A shiver crawled down my spine as I turned my head, and this time, I caught him staring at me, his eyes dark and heavy with something unreadable. But there was no mistaking the intensity in them. It was almost murderous. My breath hitched in my throat. What have I done now to make him this angry? I thought inwardly, swallowing the nervous lump that had formed in my throat. He wasn’t just upset—he was livid. And yet, even in his fury, there was something intoxicating about him. The sharp angles of his face, the cruel beauty of his rage, the way his entire presence seemed to command the air around him. I should

    Petal's POV When I turned around after closing the bathroom door, I came face to face with Sebastian. My eyes widened at his sudden intrusion, my breath hitched, and I took a step back instinctively. But there was nowhere to go. He stood too close—just a foot apart. The air around us felt heavy, suffocating, charged with something dark and unreadable. "Why are you here, Sebastian?" I masked my shock, forcing my face into an indifferent expression. I couldn't let him see my fear. His lips curled into a smirk, but there was no humor in his eyes. “Can’t I come to my own room?” he said. I blinked, my mind trying to make sense of his words. His room? My gaze darted around the space. The walls were gray and black, cold and impersonal—just like him. The massive bed in the center of the room, the dark furniture, the lack of warmth. It made sense now. A place as emotionless and commanding as its owner. "Wait… what?" My voice came out in a whisper, more to myself than to him. And then, lik

    petal's povAs we sat at the dimly lit café, laughing over jokes that were more about escaping reality than actually being funny, a sudden shift in the atmosphere pulled the air straight out of my lungs. I froze, the ceramic cup of hot coffee poised at my lips. A chilling presence loomed beside our table, drawing my gaze upward—and there he was.Sebastian.Tall, imposing, and dressed in a black suit that clung to his sculpted frame like it had been stitched onto him by the devil himself. The sight of him was enough to make the world still. His stormy grey eyes, darkened by something more than just anger, locked onto Lucas’s hand wrapped around my wrist. No words left his mouth—but he didn’t need to speak. His silence was louder than a thunderstorm. It screamed danger. It screamed mine.The fury rolling off him was so intense, I could practically feel the heat radiating from his body. My pulse quickened, my chest rising and falling faster than it should have. Something primal flared be

    petal's povWhile we sipped on our drinks, Lucas and I talked about a variety of random things. He asked about my college life, my hobbies, and my goals. I answered all his questions with a light heart. Talking to him felt casual and strangely comforting, like a breath of fresh air. He seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say, nodding thoughtfully as I explained how I was studying literature and hoped to work in the creative field someday, maybe as a writer or an artist.Then it was his turn. Lucas told me he was running a business—a successful one, in fact. I was a little surprised when he said he was actually a business rival of Sebastian. That caught my attention immediately. "He's my competition. We’ve both been trying to top the market. The media loves to pit us against each other," he said with a casual shrug and a slight smirk.I found myself growing more curious. He seemed nothing like Sebastian—at least on the surface. Where Sebastian was cold, distant, and often over

    Petal's POVAfter my classes ended, the first thing I wanted was a comforting cup of coffee. The day had been long and tiring, and there’s something magical about sipping a warm espresso while unwinding with soft music in the background. As I packed my things into my tote bag, I turned to my friend Samy."Hey Samy, wanna grab some coffee?" I asked, hopeful that she'd accompany me.She gave me an apologetic smile. "No babe, I can't. I have a date with my boyfriend. Hope you can understand. Next time, I promise I'll go with you."I tried not to look too disappointed. "Oh, I can understand. Enjoy your date," I replied, masking my loneliness.She gently patted my shoulder. "Ok, you too. Head home early, don’t stay outside too long, alright?""Oh I will, don’t worry. Just a quick coffee and I’ll return," I reassured her with a small smile.We hugged briefly and said goodbye before heading in different directions. The sun was setting, casting golden rays across the pavement. I took a short

    Sebastian’s POV The party was supposed to be perfect. Luxurious, grand, with the elite crowd of New York buzzing around — yet I was counting seconds, eyes on the entrance, waiting for her. My innocent little flower. And then she arrived… and everything in me snapped. She looked ethereal — but sinful. That short, tight dress hugging her like second skin, revealing too much of what’s mine. Her soft legs, her exposed back, the delicate curves that drove me mad. She was glowing, laughing, unaware of the eyes drinking her in like she belonged to the world. But she didn’t. She belongs to me. Only me. The moment Lucas Moretti approached her, every muscle in my body coiled. That bastard. My rival in every possible way, and there she was, dancing with him, swaying in his arms like a delicate flower caught in the storm. She smiled. She didn’t even realize who he was, how dangerous it was to be close to him. But what shattered me completely — was when he kissed her hand. That one act. T

    As I stood in front of my mother, her sharp gaze scrutinizing me, I felt a pang of anxiety. "Petal, why are you wearing the same dress? And why didn’t you get changed?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.I swallowed hard, forcing a small smile onto my lips. "Mom, when I went to change, my dress was in the laundry, so I wasn’t able to. Aunt gave this dress to me as a gift," I lied effortlessly, hoping she wouldn't probe further.She sighed, giving me a brief nod. "Alright, let's go now."As we moved towards the door, I felt Sebastian’s presence before I even saw him. He walked toward us, his intense gaze fixed on me. "Goodbye," he said, his eyes lingering a bit too long on my collarbone, making sure the mark was still there. My skin burned under his stare, and I had to resist the urge to cover the bruise he had left behind.After exchanging polite goodbyes with Sebastian and his family, we left. The car ride home was silent, the only sounds being the occasional

    petal's povAs I moved toward the door, his grip on my wrist tightened, halting my steps. My breath hitched as he pulled me toward him with force, making me collide with his firm chest. The warmth of his body engulfed me, but I refused to give in to the unfamiliar sensation. My free hand instinctively pushed against his chest, trying to create distance between us, while my trapped wrist throbbed under his firm grasp. My heart pounded, erratic and unsure, mirroring the turmoil raging within me.His unpredictable mood swings left me speechless. One moment, he was shouting at me to leave, his voice laced with anger and dominance. The next, he was holding me close, his touch unexpectedly gentle as if trying to soothe the wound he himself had inflicted. My mind screamed for me to resist, to fight against his hold, but my body betrayed me—weak and submissive under his piercing gaze.I struggled, twisting my wrist in his grip, but instead of letting me go, he pulled me closer. His fingers de

    petal's pov"I advise you, stop going against me, do as I say, or else get ready to take punishment," he said, his voice deep and laced with warning. His dark eyes bore into me, unreadable and menacing. My heart pounded against my ribs, but I refused to let him see my fear."But..." I started, my voice trembling, but before I could even form a coherent argument, his eyes flashed dangerously. Within a heartbeat, he grabbed both of my wrists, yanking them above my head and pinning them against the cold, unforgiving wall. A gasp left my lips as my body arched forward, forced into the precarious position by his sudden, aggressive move.His lips hovered inches from mine, his breath warm against my skin. I turned my head away, refusing to give in to whatever game he was playing.He chuckled darkly.“So stubborn,” he mused. “But I like a challenge.”I glared at him.“Let me go, Sebastian,” I demanded again.His face was inches from mine, his breath hot against my skin as he leaned in, pressi

    petal's pov After our dance. I bowed slightly, a polite gesture, masking the turmoil brewing inside me. The audience clapped, some cheering, some whispering amongst themselves. But I barely heard them. All I could feel was the weight of Sebastian’s gaze on me, the way his thumb brushed against my skin, sending a trail of heat through my veins. “You danced well,” he murmured, his voice laced with something unreadable. he was still holding my hand even after our dance ended. I swallowed, unsure of how to respond. Instead, I focused on my breathing, on steadying my erratic heartbeat. My skin still burned from his touch, but I refused to let him see how he affected me. Then I noticed his smirk—not at me, but at Lucas. And it clicked. 'Bastard, took revenge because I danced with Lucas,' I thought bitterly. Rage ignited within me, and before I could stop myself, I pressed against the wound on his back hand where I stabbed the fork earlier. He winced in pain, his expression twisting in

    petal's pov Sebastian wasted no time. He grabbed my hand in his, his grip firm and unyielding, and pulled me to my feet. My pulse spiked, panic settling deep in my bones as he led me toward the dance floor. My feet felt like they were dragging against the ground, every step closer to him feeling like a step toward my doom. The moment we reached the dance floor, the lights dimmed, and the slow, sensual melody of a song filled the air. He turned to me, his dark, predatory eyes gleaming in the dim light. Without warning, he pulled me flush against his chest, one hand pressing against the small of my back, the other taking my hand in a possessive grip. I stiffened in his hold, feeling the undeniable strength in his embrace. His breath was warm against my temple as he leaned in slightly. "Relax," he murmured, but it didn’t feel like a request. It was an order. He placed his left hand on my waist, fingers pressing into my skin as if he were branding me. His grip was both protective and t
