Reina's POV

Do I look like a plaything to him?

Do I look like a plaything to all of them?

A slow, simmering rage curled in my chest as my nails dug into my palms, the sharp sting grounding me.

I hated him.

I wanted to hurl something at him—something heavy, something sharp. I wanted to scream until my throat burned, to shake him until he saw reason.

But I would not beg.

Not to him.

Not to the man who stole kisses like secrets and branded me with his touch without permission.

I forced a breath into my lungs, steadying the tremor in my hands as I turned toward my medical bag. “Should I help you to the bathroom, or do you need me to touch you again?” My voice came out smooth, controlled—completely at odds with the storm brewing inside me.

He hesitated, caught off guard by my sudden shift. Good. Let him wonder. Let him second-guess. I refused to let either him or Andrew think they could toy with me. If he wasn’t going to cooperate, I would simply find another way.

    Reina's POV Asshole.I refused to let the heat creep up my neck. He was baiting me, playing with me like a cat toying with its prey. And I would not fall into his little game.I turned toward the door. "Get some rest. I’d hate for you to overexert yourself."His chuckle was low, almost taunting. "Worried about me, cara mia?""Worried?" I shot him a saccharine smile over my shoulder. "No. Just making sure you don’t drop dead before I can make my grand escape."His smirk faltered for the briefest moment, something dark flickering in his eyes. But it was gone as quickly as it came."Escape?" he echoed, tilting his head. "That’s a funny way of describing fate."I exhaled sharply, shaking my head. "You’re exhausting.""And you’re mine," he said, his voice dropping an octave.I turned fully then, glaring at him. “I don't care about what you've said so far, Mr Morelli, you don’t own me."His smirk deepened, as if he found my defiance amusing. "You signed the contract, dolcezza.""A contract

  • The Devil's Nurse   Not Love

    Cassian’s POVI didn’t lie when I told her she was always in my dreams.She was always there—bare, bound, legs spread wide. Sometimes she whimpered. Sometimes she screamed. But always, always, I was buried deep inside her.Even now, with the echo of her footsteps fading down the hallway, I could still see it—her on her knees, lips red and swollen, eyes full of venom. Fighting me. Tempting me. Begging and defying all at once.The moment Reina left the room, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. The audacity of her.Marriage.The word alone was enough to make my teeth grind. Even if it was just for papers, as she’d so coolly explained, the idea made my blood boil. She had no idea what she was asking of me. No idea what she stirred inside me with every glance, every sharp-tongued retort. No idea how deeply she was already entwined in the wreckage of my soul.Marriage?After that night?After the blood and betrayal, after the taste of death on my tongue and the way the darkn

  • The Devil's Nurse   Keep The Clause

    Cassian’s POVFinally!As soon as Valeria shut the door, I adjusted myself on the chair and motioned for them to come in.My dick still protested, needing more than it got. But what can a crippled man do? I pushed the ache aside and stared at the figure Lucas brought in.“Take it off,” I said coolly, motioning to the hood with a flick of my fingers.Lucas peeled it off, revealing a man in his late fifties, his shirt damp with sweat, spectacles askew, gray hairs clinging to his flushed face. He looked every bit the well-fed, overpaid lawyer—but now, stripped of his comfort, seated in my dark study, he looked like a lamb seconds before the slaughter.The man’s eyes darted around in panic. “Wh-what is this? Who are you people—? I swear, if this is some sort of intimidation tactic, I’ll call the—”“Lucas,” I said calmly.Lucas took a step forward and pulled out a Walther PPK from his belt, laying it quietly on the polished desk between us.The lawyer froze.“Let’s not insult each other,”

    Cassian’s POVThe lawyer stared at me, mouth wide open, confused and horrified. “But… but you said—”I cut him off with a cold smile. “I said I wanted to know the truth. Not that I’d set her free.”He shook his head, dazed. “I—I don’t understand… why? Why keep the clause if it was fake to begin with?”I tapped my finger against the armrest of my chair, letting the silence stretch.Then I said, slowly, deliberately, “Because Reina doesn’t get to walk away just yet. Not until I decide she’s earned it.”“But she deserves to know the truth. I thought you would want her to know,” he whispered.I chuckled dryly. “Why act all righteous now, Mr lawyer? Weren’t you paid to tie her down with the monsters that destroyed her childhood?”The lawyer lowered his gaze, staring at his trembling hands as if they belonged to someone else—someone filthier, weaker. His fingers were stained with blood and sweat, the knuckles scraped from where he’d instinctively braced against Lucas’s blows. But it wasn’t

    Reina's POVThe van rolled to a stop after what felt like hours of bone-rattling backroads and jolts. When the doors creaked open, I didn't move at first. I was too stiff. Too uncertain. But then I heard the soft murmur of the farmhands unloading crates and realized this was my only chance.The old woman who’d helped me earlier looked in, eyes scanning quickly until they landed on me. She gave a subtle nod—then turned her back, shielding me as I slipped out and dropped behind a stack of barrels. We were on the outskirts of town—some dusty produce distribution center near the farmlands. No guards. No eyes. No Cassian Morelli.My knees buckled slightly when I stood. The air was heavy with damp soil and motor oil. I didn’t linger. I didn’t even say thank you.I ran.An hour later, I was sitting in a cramped cyber café tucked between a pawn shop and a rundown tailor’s.

    Cassian’s POV“What do you mean by you can't find her?! Where the fuck is she?!”My roar echoed through the courtyard like a thunderclap, startling the birds into flight and freezing every servant in place. The nearest object—a wrought iron lantern—crashed through the air, smashing into the stone wall and ricocheting onto the trembling maid’s shoulder. She yelped in pain, collapsing to the ground as blood bloomed through the linen of her uniform.I didn’t look twice.“FIND HER!” I barked at the guards, wheeling forward, my cane slamming the ground with each furious turn. “She’s a little fucking person, not a goddamn ghost. What were you all doing?! Sleeping with your dicks in your hands?!”A trembling soldier stepped forward. “Sir, we’re checking the grounds—”“Check the fucking CCTV,” I cut him off, snarling. “And if she’s not in front of me before lunch, I swear on your miserable lives, I’ll have all your heads on spikes outside my gates.”I turned to Lucas, voice ice-cold. “Send f

  • The Devil's Nurse   Before She's Shattered

    Cassian’s POV“What do you mean she’s gone?!”My voice split the air like a whip, raw and laced with fury. The room went dead silent. Even the low hum of the ventilation seemed to retreat as every man in the room shifted uncomfortably under the weight of my stare.Ethan stood stiff, jaw clenched, eyes locked on the polished marble floor like it could save him. He knew better than to stutter, but I could see the fear prickling just beneath the surface of his usually composed demeanor.“I gave an order! Her face—first thing I see when I wake up. So why am I seeing your faces instead?!” I barked.“We're sorry boss. We tracked them down just like you ordered,” he said carefully. “Got there just after dawn. Everything looked normal outside the trailer, but—”“But what?” I snapped, stepping forward.He exhaled slowly. “The man she was with at the cafe, was inside. Unconscious. Bleeding out on the floor.”“And Reina?” I demanded, my blood already boiling, heat rushing to my ears like a war d

    Reina's POVI watched the smile on his face widen as he looked down at me.He knelt in front of me again, unmasking—his face now seared into my memory like a brand. And worse… when I looked at him, it wasn't just his face anymore. It blurred with Andrew’s. The same darkness. The same sick hunger.“I can’t be cheated out of life. I must take my own pound of flesh,” he barked with a crazy look in his eyes.I thrashed. Hard. My shoulder twisted painfully, but I didn’t care. I had to move. Had to stop what I knew was coming.He lunged forward—fingers clawing at the waistband of my shorts. The rope around my ankles burned as I kicked out wildly, but he gripped my legs and yanked them down hard, slamming my spine against the cold cement. Pain shot up my back as my breath hitched.My heart slammed so hard I thought it might give out.Stall him.Make him think he’s winning.Play the game.“Wait,” I gasped, forcing my voice to tremble—not just from fear, but desire. I hated myself for it, but

  • The Devil's Nurse   Until You Give me Another

    Reina’s POVMy consciousness returned in pieces. A shrill pulse behind my eyes. Pins and needles prickling down my limbs. My mouth tasted of metal and something bitter. The air was thick—damp, suffocating.When I opened my eyes, darkness swallowed me whole.No window. No moonlight. Just the dim, flickering hum of a single bulb above. My arms ached—burning, twisted behind my back. Ropes dug into my wrists. My ankles were bound too, something coarse slicing into my skin every time I moved.Then I remembered. Joshua storming in. The gunshot. “Ohmygod,” I cried. What if…No. I shouldn’t think that way. But what if? And where the fuck am I? Who took me? Andrew? Mr Morelli?Panic surged up my throat like bile.“Help!” I screamed. “Somebody—please!”My voice cracked, raw from disuse or screaming—I couldn’t tell. I tried again, louder, until my lungs were burning.Then— A low chuckle answered from the shadows.Mocking. Cruel.“Shut up,” a voice said coldly. “You don’t get to scream.”A fig

    Reina’s POV“Joshua,” I whispered, my voice like sandpaper.He was in the kitchenette, pulling two mugs from the cabinet like we were just any couple settling in for a quiet night. But my feet wouldn’t move. My pulse was trapped in my throat, thudding wildly.He looked up immediately. “What is it?”“I—I saw something.” I gestured toward the window, backing away. “Outside. Just past the porch light. It moved.”Joshua’s face shifted—his usual softness replaced with quiet alertness. He didn’t laugh it off. Didn’t call me crazy. Instead, he crossed the room in three long strides and peered out the window.The glass was smudged, but clear enough. The porch bulb buzzed faintly, illuminating nothing but weeds and shifting shadows.Still, he watched.“I don’t see anything,” he murmured.I didn’t breathe.But then his shoulders squared. He looked a little too long. Like he was pretending to see nothing so I wouldn’t panic.“Could’ve been a deer,” he said carefully, still staring. “Or a raccoon
