Reina

Let's get married, Mr Morelli.

The morning light filtered through the thin curtains, washing the room in soft gold. For once, I wasn’t tangled in the sheets, drowning in the nightmares that haunted me. It was strange. Almost unsettling.

Someone had moved me to the bed.

I blinked at the ceiling, my body unusually relaxed despite the storm always brewing inside me. Had I imagined it? Had I been too exhausted to remember crawling back under the covers myself?

The thought sent a shiver through me.

I didn’t have time to dwell on it. My phone buzzed on the nightstand, vibrating angrily against the wood. I didn’t need to look to know who it was.

Steeling myself, I answered.

“You finally decided to pick my call.”

My stepmother’s voice was all sharp edges and feigned sweetness. “The clock is ticking, Reina. We need to finalize the date for the wedding. You’ve been dragging your feet long enough.”

Long enough? It's been barely 24 hours since the will was read.

  • The Devil's Nurse   His to Keep

    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. Whe

  • The Devil's Nurse   Thornes and Glasses

    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,”

  • The Devil's Nurse   The Rope

    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

  • The Devil's Nurse   I Have a Fake Husband

    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. The kind of place that smelled like burning wires and stale coffee. A flickering sign outside read “Surge Express – Pr

  • The Devil's Nurse   Find Her or Bleed

    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   Chasing Reina

    Cassian's POVAs soon as I sent those commands, Lucas didn’t even nod. He just ran.I rolled back from the table, the wheels of my chair squeaking softly as I turned toward the exit, fury pumping through my veins like molten steel.If they laid one finger on her—if they touched even a strand of her hair—I would make that stepmother watch as I peeled the skin off her son’s face. I would burn everything they owned, salt their land, and mail their ashes back to their ancestors.The courtyard erupted into motion. Engines roared, tires screeched, guns were loaded with a kind of feverish desperation that clung to the air like smoke. I moved with purpose, cane pounding the stones like war drums. My men scrambled like roaches in a flood.I was going to tear that woman’s family apart, brick by fucking brick.If they touched Reina—if they even breathed near her—I’d make their bones ornaments for my garden.If she was hurt—If they broke her—I would shatter the fucking world until I put her ba

  • The Devil's Nurse   Beneath His Thumb

    REINA’s POVShame. That was all I could feel.I have never felt so humiliated in my life.Not even when Anthony ripped me apart years ago, body and soul.Not even when he and his mother left me bleeding and trembling, cursing myself for surviving.Because at least then, I knew what monsters looked like.Now?Now the monsters smiled.They whispered sweet promises with one hand, while wrapping a noose around my neck with the other.Why are men such beasts?Why do they get off on seeing women shatter, on grinding dignity into dust?I hate Cassian Morelli so bad it hurts to look at him.I wanted to run — to tear myself out of this room, lock myself away in some abandoned island and scream until my lungs gave out.I wanted so badly to plot a thousand ways to make him pay for this, to return the kindness in full.But then Joshua’s face flashed in my mind.That radiant smile that I dragged into my mess. An image flashed in my mind. The look on his face when the bullet pierced his body. His

  • The Devil's Nurse   Crawl to Me, Reina

    Cassian’s POVShe stiffened.“It won’t be the first time now, Mr Morelli. Or do I need to remind you how many times you’ve done this. How many times you’ve seen me naked,” she spat angrily amidst tears.“And yet, I never seem to get enough of you. Now, sweet Reina. Hands at your sides.”Slowly, miserably, she obeyed, lowering her arms and standing there — naked, humiliated, trembling — under my gaze.Her cheeks were burning, streaked with tears, but she didn’t speak again.Didn’t plead.She was learning to take it all in.I let the silence stretch out, savoring the way her shame grew heavier with every second, until it pressed down on her like a physical weight."Now," I said, voice light, almost playful. "Touch yourself for me, little nurse."She hesitated — just for a heartbeat — before one trembling hand slipped between her thighs.But I leaned forward slightly, voice turning sharp."Eyes on me."She jerked like I’d slapped her.And then — slowly — she raised her tear-filled angry

  • The Devil's Nurse   Fractured Pride

    Cassian’s POVI let the silence stretch, watched her struggle to process it — to accept it.It was beautiful.Watching her pride fracture.Watching her soul bend. Watching her grind her teeth in barely restrained fury.I loved every bit of it."But," I added, voice dangerously soft, "if you disappoint me... if you defy me... if you so much as hesitate when I give you an order..."I let the threat hang heavy in the air between us.I didn’t need to say it.She knew.She knew exactly what would happen.Joshua’s face flashed in her mind — I could see it — and she crumpled a little more.Sank a little deeper into submission.Perfect."Now," I said, brushing a knuckle over her tear-streaked cheek almost affectionately, "you’re going to kiss my cock. Just a kiss. Cause you might be tempted to do more.”Her eyes widened in horror."I—" she croaked.I backhanded her across the face — not hard enough to injure, but hard enough to shock.Hard enough to remind her.She gasped, cradling her cheek,

  • The Devil's Nurse   Master and Toy

    Cassian’s POVShe fumbled with the button of my pants using her mouth, her movements awkward, desperate.I didn't lift a finger to help her.Didn’t even move.I wanted her to struggle.I wanted her to earn every scrap of information she thought she wanted so badly.After an agonizing few seconds, she managed to undo it, the zipper rasping loud in the heavy silence between us.I shifted my hips just enough for her to pull my pants down, freeing the thick weight of my cock.It sprang free, heavy and hard, already leaking at the tip.The sight of it made her flinch slightly—whether in fear or shame, I didn’t know.Didn't care."Take it in your hands," I said, voice like velvet dragged over a blade.She froze. Eyes wide. I struggled to stay sane as I stared into her wide eyes.Trembling fingers reached up, wrapping around the base. I could feel her cursing under her breath.I hissed in pleasure at the first contact.God, she was small.Fragile.I could crush her if I wanted.And she would

  • The Devil's Nurse   Use Your Mouth

    Cassian’s POVThe minutes crawled by.I sat there, waiting, in the dim, luxurious expanse of my private wing. Only the low hum of the mansion beyond the windows filled the silence. My wheelchair was positioned just so, facing the door.She was late.Good for her.Let her hesitate. Let her dread.It made the hunt and fun that much sweeter.Then—finally—a soft, tentative knock.My smirk curved slowly and deliberately across my mouth.Let the game begin."Enter," I called lazily, voice carrying the sharpness of a blade hidden beneath silk.The door creaked open, and she stepped inside. Reina. My little captive angel. Her hair still damp from the shower, her frame taut with nervous energy she tried — and failed — to hide.Perfect.I watched her cross the room, head bowed slightly, hands folded in front of her like she thought modesty would save her here.I let the silence thicken until she was standing right in front of me."Tell me about your day," I said, voice low and dark, trailing de

  • The Devil's Nurse   What’s Mine Stays Mine

    Cassian’s POVThe traitor’s body was dragged out like the trash he was. His screams still echoed faintly down the corridor, but I was done with him. Let him live. Let him heal.Because when he returned, he wouldn’t be feeding them real intel—only the bits and pieces I permitted. Misinformation. A masterful script of lies designed to fracture them from the inside out. Let them swallow it whole.Two traitors in one day.I could feel the headache pulsing behind my temples.My thoughts drifted to the other one. The first of the day—the one whose bones cracked beneath my fists until they screamed with pain louder than his throat ever could.The one Reina tried to help.He’d tried to broker a deal with one of my offshore suppliers. Claimed it was to streamline costs. Turned out, he was diverting product—skimming from my operation and rerouting it to a rogue buyer linked to the Croatians.I didn’t kill him.No. Death was too final for that kind of betrayal.I had him locked in the sublevel w

  • The Devil's Nurse   A Lesson in Pain

    Cassian’s POVI stilled.Those bruises weren’t mine.Not this time.And the sight of it broke something in me.As I untied her left hand that was already chained, I kept my gaze fixed on her bruised hand.They were fresh, raw, ugly fingerprints on delicate flesh. A sick hue of blue-black blooming like rot beneath porcelain skin.My chest went still. Then… it erupted.The fury didn’t come loud. It came quiet. The kind of quiet that meant something inside me had broken. Irrevocably. The kind of quiet that always preceded the storm.I yanked her closer, examining the marks as her body stiffened.“Who did this?” I asked, low and grave.She flinched.“I said—who did this?”“I—it’s nothing. It’s no one. It was just an accident,” she whispered.My head snapped up. Her eyes were too wide, her voice too soft. A practiced tremble. A damn lie wrapped in innocence.“An accident?” I echoed, darkly amused.“I bumped into someone in the hallway. That’s all,” she said quickly. “It’s nothing deep or p

  • The Devil's Nurse   Confess or Break

    Cassian's POV I yanked her closer again, my voice dropping to a venom-laced rasp. “Did he breathe on you? Look at you like you were his?”Her lips trembled. “I’m not a property to be owned by anyone.”The laugh that clawed its way out of my chest wasn’t human. It cracked through the air, sharp and manic.“No?” I tilted her chin up, forcing her to meet my gaze. “Then why do you keep coming back?”She didn't reply. Couldn't.Because we both knew why.“You hate this,” I said, dragging her fingers to the raw cut on my knuckle. “You hate me. But here you are. With trembling hands and bleeding sympathy—for a man who doesn’t even have a name in this house. While I, the devil you can’t stand, am the one holding your leash.”I pressed her palm to my chest—over my heartbeat. Let her feel the violence thudding beneath my skin.“You can never be free, Reina,” I growled. “Not out there. Not in here. You walk out that door again and come back late, I’ll make you pay. You breathe for someone else,

  • The Devil's Nurse   Tend to Your Master

    Reina's POV “Oh my god…” I choked, the sound barely escaping my lips.His knuckles were split, red and raw, the dried blood cracking as he flexed his fingers. He hadn’t just ordered this violence—he participated in it. With relish.The second I heard his voice—smooth, arrogant, and soaked in bloodlust—I felt it all crashing back.“Ah,” he said, his voice like velvet dipped in venom. “Welcome home, dolcezza.”Of course, I thought bitterly. Of course I’m back to this.The grotesque image from earlier at Don Marcello’s mansion slammed into my mind like a freight train. That poor man—strung up like livestock. Limp. Broken. The other one that had his tongue cut out also like a fucking livestock.And now… this.Another broken body.Another monster perched on a throne.Birds of the same damn feather, I thought as I stared at Cassian’s bloodied knuckles, his sick smirk, the way he observed pain like it was art.They all wore suits, smoked cigars, and thought pain was poetry.My instincts ove
