Selena blinked, her heart pounding in her chest. Adrian’s words hung in the air, sharp and cold, cutting through the noise of the ballroom behind them.

“What?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Adrian’s hand lingered for a moment before he pulled it back, his expression unreadable. “You know what I mean,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “You betrayed me.”

Selena stepped back, the weight of his accusation pressing down on her. “Adrian, I didn’t—”

He raised a hand, stopping her. “I saw the way you were with Nathan tonight. Laughing, smiling, touching his arm like it was nothing. Do you have any idea what that felt like?”

Her brows knitted together, confusion mingling with anger. “He was being kind because you weren’t there,” she shot back, her voice rising. “You left me to fend for myself in a room full of people I don’t belong with. What was I supposed to do? Stand in a corner and disappear?”

Adrian’s jaw tightened, his hands clenched at his sides. “You co

    The dining room in Adrian’s mansion was as grand as the rest of the house. A long wooden table stretched across the room, surrounded by tall chairs covered in dark leather. A glittering chandelier hung overhead, lighting up the table where plates of fancy food were arranged neatly. The delicious smell filled the air.Upstairs, Selena stood in front of her mirror, adjusting her dress. Tonight wasn’t just any dinner. It was a meeting of Adrian’s closest allies—the people who helped him run his gang. She wasn’t excited about it. When she came down the large staircase, Adrian was waiting at the bottom. He was dressed sharply, his suit fitting perfectly. His serious face softened as he saw her. A small smile appeared.“You look beautiful,” he said, holding out his arm.“Thank you,” Selena replied, taking his arm with a faint smile of her own.When they entered the dining room, a few guests were already seated. Matteo, usually full of jokes, looked serious tonight. Beside him sat Valerie,

    Selena sat by the large window in her room, her thoughts swirling. She rested her forehead against the glass, trying to make sense of her feelings. Adrian had barely spoken to her after dinner. His cold demeanor left her uneasy. Nathan’s words from the terrace echoed in her mind. You don’t belong in this world... You deserve better.But what did "better" even mean? Selena wasn’t sure anymore. Downstairs, Adrian stood in the study, staring out at the gardens. His sharp gray eyes scanned the horizon, though his thoughts were miles away. Matteo entered, shutting the door behind him. “She’s still quiet,” Matteo said, crossing his arms. “Barely ate breakfast.” Adrian didn’t turn around. “I know.” Matteo hesitated before speaking again. “Nathan’s a problem.” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “He’s always been a problem.” “You’re letting him get too close,” Matteo warned. “Selena doesn’t know what he’s doing, but you do. She trusts him because he’s good at pretending to care.” Adrian f

    The mansion was looked and felt calm, but everyone was walking on tiptoes. Adrian and Nathan had been at each other’s throats for weeks, and tonight felt like it was about to explode. Everyone inside the house moved in hushed silence, heads low, avoiding the tension crackling between the two men. Valerie, who normally didn’t care to involve herself, knew better than to step in the middle of this storm. Selena, sitting in the library with a book in her hands, couldn’t focus. She tried to lose herself in the words, but every time she tried to turn the page, her mind would drift back to the mess between Adrian and Nathan. Their relationship had always been strained, but now it felt like they were two ticking time bombs, just waiting for the other to explode. Nathan was reckless, constantly challenging Adrian, while Adrian, hated being challenged. The argument in Adrian’s study started as a murmur, but it quickly escalated. Selena put the book aside, her heart racing. She didn’t need to

    The whole house was silent, except for the faint ticking of a clock somewhere down the hall. Selena moved through the dimly lit corridors, her heels clicking against the marble floors. She wasn’t supposed to be here. She knew that. But something in her gut had drawn her back, and now she found herself standing outside Adrian’s study, the faint glow of a fire flickering through the slightly ajar door. She hesitated. After their argument at the dinner party, she had sworn to stay far away from him and the troubles that came with his world. But witnessing the heated argument between Adrian and Nathan earlier had shaken her. Even though he hates her she didn't like the the thought of Adrian dealing with it alone. With a deep breath, she pushed the door open. Adrian sat in a high-backed leather chair, his posture rigid, his gaze fixed on the glass of whiskey in his hand. The warm light of the fire danced across his sharp features, casting shadows that made him look even more dangero

    The late afternoon sun poured over the garden, casting long shadows across the stone path. Selena walked slowly, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, lost in thought. The atmosphere in the mansion had been unbearable lately, and she needed the fresh air to think clearly. Her argument with Adrian replayed in her mind, stoking her frustration. They hadn’t argued about love or confessions, but about priorities. Adrian had been focused on protecting the gang at all costs, shutting everyone else out in the process. Selena had tried to reason with him, to tell him that his methods were alienating the people who cared about him, but he wouldn’t listen. She had left the conversation feeling unheard and dismissed, her anger bubbling just under the surface. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Adrian saw her as naïve, incapable of understanding his burdens. Now, as she walked through the garden, the cool breeze did little to calm her nerves. “Selena?” a voice called softly from behind

    Selena opened the door to Adrian’s room, surprised to find him sitting there. He hadn’t slept in this room for the past few days, and she hadn’t expected to see him now. The room was dark, only lit by the fading light outside the window. Adrian’s eyes flicked up to meet hers, his expression unreadable.“What are you doing here?” Selena asked, stepping further into the room. She didn’t know why it bothered her, but seeing him here, in the space that used to feel like home, made her uneasy.Adrian didn’t answer right away. He just stared at her for a moment, his jaw clenched. Then, his voice broke the silence, low and cold. “Are you disgusted seeing your husband in his room?”Selena frowned, unsure of how to respond. “Why would you say that?” she asked, her heart beginning to race. Adrian stood up suddenly, closing the distance between them with long, angry strides. He grabbed her arm roughly, his grip tight as he pulled her closer. “Are you disgusted by me, Selena?” he asked, his voic

    Selena stormed down the hallway, her breath coming in sharp bursts. Every step she took away from Adrian’s room felt like a victory. Her anger burned brightly in her chest, drowning out the pain that threatened to creep in. She wouldn’t cry over him—not tonight, not ever again.As she reached the corner of the hallway, she nearly bumped into a young maid carrying a stack of folded towels. The girl gasped, her eyes wide as she looked up at Selena. "Ma'am," the maid stammered, adjusting the towels in her arms. "Is everything all right?" Selena squared her shoulders, forcing her voice to remain steady. "Everything is fine. I need a different room to sleep in tonight. Can you show me one?" The maid hesitated, her gaze flickering with curiosity. She seemed unsure whether to follow Selena’s instructions or ask questions. "A... different room?" she repeated cautiously. "Yes," Selena said firmly, narrowing her eyes. "I don’t want to stay in that room anymore. Is there a problem?" Th

    Selena sat on the couch, a book in her lap, but she wasn’t really reading. Her mind was spinning with everything that had happened over the last few days. Nathan’s kiss, Adrian’s cruel words—it was all too much. Just as she was starting to feel overwhelmed again, Valerie strolled into the living room with a big, mischievous grin on her face. Selena raised an eyebrow. “What’s with the smile?” Valerie plopped onto the armchair, looking smug. “Oh, nothing. Just thinking about shaking things up a little.” Selena frowned. “What does that mean? What are you up to, Val?” Valerie leaned back, crossing her legs. “Matteo. He’s always so serious, so distant. I think it’s time someone showed him how to have fun.” “Matteo?” Selena blinked. “You mean *our* Matteo? Quiet, doesn’t-talk-to-anyone Matteo?” Valerie grinned. “The very same. He needs to lighten up. And I’m just the person to help him with that.” Selena stared at her friend, unsure if she was joking or serious. “Valerie, Ma

    Selena stormed up the stairs, her heart pounding furiously in her chest. She wasn’t going to sit there and let Isabelle play her games. Not when Adrian refused to see what was right in front of him. She reached her room, slamming the door shut behind her. Taking a deep breath, she leaned against it, trying to calm down. But the anger wouldn’t go away. A knock sounded on her door just as she ran a hand through her hair. “Go away,” she called out. “It’s me,” Valerie’s voice came through. Selena sighed before opening the door. Valerie stepped inside, closing it behind her. “Can you believe that?” Valerie fumed, pacing the room. “She’s acting like some innocent victim while you’re the villain. And Adrian just lets her!” Selena sat on the edge of her bed, rubbing her temples. “It’s exhausting.” Valerie stopped pacing and faced her. “You know what’s really annoying? Adrian knows you. He knows when someone’s lying. So why is he letting her get away with this?” Selena scoffe

    The car ride back home was quiet, tense even. Valerie kept throwing glances at Selena, who stared out the window, lost in thought. Matteo drummed his fingers against the steering wheel while Nathan sat with his arms crossed, his face unreadable. Selena still couldn’t shake off the feeling from earlier—the warning from that man. The way he spoke, the way he seemed to know her, know Adrian. What did he mean by trust is dangerous? She barely noticed when the car pulled into the driveway. “We’re home,” Matteo announced, breaking the silence. As they stepped out of the car, the front door swung open, and Adrian stood there, his sharp gaze locking onto them immediately. “Inside,” he ordered. No one questioned him. They walked in, and that’s when Selena noticed Isabelle sitting on the couch, a pleased smile on her lips. Valerie frowned. “What’s she still doing here?” Adrian didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the center of the room, his presence commanding attent

    Selena stepped out of the dressing room, adjusting the blue dress. It fit well, hugging her frame without being too tight. Valerie clapped her hands together. "I knew it! That color is perfect on you," she said excitedly. Matteo smirked. "Almost too perfect. Maybe Adrian will finally wake up and—" Selena shot him a sharp look. "Don't start." Nathan, who had been leaning against a nearby rack, nodded in approval. "It suits you." Selena felt a strange warmth at his compliment, but she quickly pushed it aside. She wasn’t here to impress anyone—especially not Adrian. Valerie grabbed her wrist. "Alright, you’re getting it. No arguments!" Selena sighed. "Fine." They walked to the checkout counter, and Matteo casually tossed a few more items onto the pile. "What are you doing?" Selena asked, raising an eyebrow. "Buying you more things," Matteo said nonchalantly. Selena shook her head. "I can pay for myself." Matteo grinned. "I know. But I like spending money." Valer

    Selena sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the door Valerie had just walked out of. The room was quiet now, but her mind wasn’t. Valerie had told her to rest because they were going out tomorrow. But sleep felt impossible. Her thoughts were a mess, tangled between everything that had happened. Between Adrian, Valerie, and the strange new reality she found herself in. She sighed and lay back, staring at the ceiling. Her body was exhausted, but her mind refused to stop running. Would tomorrow be any different? Would Adrian still act cold and distant? Would she even have the strength to face him again? She closed her eyes, trying to shut out the questions, but sleep claimed her before she could find any answers. --- The next morning, Selena woke up feeling slightly more rested, though her heart still felt heavy. She got out of bed, washed up, and dressed in simple jeans and a blouse. Just as she was slipping on her shoes, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," s

    Selena’s eyes fluttered open, the warmth of sleep still clinging to her body. But as she stretched her arm out, expecting to feel Adrian beside her, all she found was an empty bed. Her heart dropped. She sat up quickly, the cool sheets pooling around her waist. The room was eerily quiet, as if he had never been there at all. But he had. She could still feel him on her skin, taste him on her lips. Then she saw it. A piece of paper lay on the pillow beside her. With shaky fingers, she picked it up. _"Now you will know the pain of losing someone you love, just like I did two years ago."_ Selena’s breath hitched. The words blurred as tears filled her eyes. No. No, this couldn’t be happening. She forced herself to look around the room, desperate for any sign that this was a cruel joke. That Adrian would walk back in, smirk at her, and say this was just another one of his twisted tests. But he didn’t. And then she saw the cheque. It was neatly placed on the bedside t

    He removed his wallet from his pocket, his fingers glistening with her essence, the sight of her own desire on his rough digits, the realization that his fingers had been there, sending another wave of unchecked heat through her body. At this rate, she would combust before he even got inside her."As you wish, Selena. But this is the first and last time this would be happening". He said, before pulling out a condom, tearing the wrapper with his teeth. Selena didn't look down as he unzipped his trousers. Neither did he.And suddenly, before she could take another breath, his hand came back to her neck, this time the back of her neck like it had the day he kissed her, his other on the granite beside hers. She felt the tip of his erection brush against her clit, and her breaths quickened, the realization that she was doing this, with him of all people, thrilling some deep-rooted part of her. She wanted this. She hated it, and she was mad at herself for it. But she needed this. She need

    His hands gripped her waist before she'd taken one step, picking her up with a kind of strength she'd never experienced, making her heart fall to her knees. She barely contained a yelp at the sudden movement, but the moment her feet were off the floor, he moved her like she weighed nothing more than a cushion, and carried her to the bathroom and put her on the granite counter in front of the mirror.The cold granite hit the overheated skin of ass suddenly, making her hiss, the counter hard against his not-so-gentle deposition.Her night dress bunched up against her upper thighs in the motion, the cold granite against her exposed flesh making her shiver. His hands left her waist and the moment they did, she put her hands flat on the counter, a little behind her to maintain her sitting position and keep her balance. The action made her breasts push outwards, her legs slightly spread from the way he'd deposited her, with her dress almost above her thighs. She felt a flush crawl over her

    Selena’s breath was warm against his neck, her body still trembling in his arms. Adrian didn’t let go. He couldn’t. He had spent hours, days, tearing the city apart for her, killing for her. But none of that mattered if she was still stuck in the nightmare Cassio had left behind. She shifted slightly, her fingers still curled into his shirt, her breathing uneven. He felt it—her hesitation, her struggle, the war raging inside her. And then, she moved. Slowly, she lifted her head, her face inches from his. Her lips parted slightly, her breath fanning over his skin. Her eyes, dark and unreadable, locked onto his. “Selena…” His voice was hoarse, uncertain. Her fingers slid up his chest, tracing the collar of his shirt. He swallowed hard, every muscle in his body tensing as she leaned in closer. Then— “Fuck me,” she whispered. Adrian’s breath caught. For a moment, he thought he had misheard her. But her eyes—those haunted, defiant eyes—told him otherwise. He clenched hi

    Adrian stood in the dark, his heart hammering like a drum. The phone lay shattered at his feet, Cassio’s last words echoing in his mind. Selena. Valerie.Gone.A deep, burning rage coiled inside him, threatening to explode. His men were watching him, waiting for orders. Matteo clutched his bleeding shoulder, breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his temple. Nico wiped a shaky hand across his face, fingers twitching near his gun. The others shifted uneasily, sensing the storm about to break. Adrian forced a slow breath. If he let his fury consume him now, they were all fucked. “Find out where they are,” he said, his voice sharp as steel. Nico nodded, already dialing numbers. Matteo gritted his teeth. “Cassio won’t kill them. Not yet. He wants leverage.” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “Then we take that leverage away.” Cassio had played his hand. Now, Adrian was going to fucking bury him. The safe house was buzzing with tension. Adrian stood over a table covered in maps, phone r
