HAZEL STYLES POV Riven was crazy and so was the way he switched in an instant. One minute, he was smooth and charming, and the next, he was cold as ice. I didn't know how to react to the change.His words about my art still rang in my head. I didn't know how much I needed to hear that until he said it. My heart had taken a fucking nosedive, and up till now, I still couldn't breathe through the exhilaration of hearing that my art was good.But he was a bad person, and I just couldn't forget those words he said at that scene of the accident fifteen years ago. Did he know it was me? The girl he left to die. If he knew and apologized, would I be able to forgive him? Would he deserve it? My head was messed up. This was all Liam's fault. That bastard. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have crossed paths with Riven, and this wouldn't be happening right now. When this was all over, I was going to fucking hunt him down for what he did to me.His finger grazed my chin, and I flinched hard, my

HAZEL STYLES POV I felt trapped under his gaze. Was he really going to kiss me? Was I going to let him? He took a step closer, his piercing eyes making my heart beat frantically in my chest. "Riven," I called on a breath, my hand coming up to push at his chest, but he didn't budge. Why was he so ridiculously strong, or was it just me who didn't push hard enough? "Interesting" he murmured as his finger grazed my chin. "Do you really not want a kiss, Hazel?" He asked and I sucked in a breath. "Your eyes tell me you're conflicted, so why don't you just leave it all to me? Let me decide, Hazel. Let me give you what you want" He was so close, his warm breath danced across my face making my heart stutter. My gaze dropped to his chest, the proximity messing with my head. I flexed my hand against his skin, the rhythm of his heartbeat against my palm almost matching mine.He sucked in a breath and my gaze jerked up to his. There was a fire burning in their pits and it was consuming.His

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "I apologize, Victor. We were negligent and that led to you losing a lot of money, but rest assured, we will make sure to compensate with more than that which you have lost" The old man grimaced, the lines on his face deepening and making him look much uglier than before. I knew the words he was about to utter were going to piss me off, so I steeled myself."And why should I wait around to be compensated when I can take the matter into my own hands and find some other supplier? A more reliable supplier. Do you know what this means for my business? Do you know how much I am losing because of this" he got out, the anger in his voice palpable. I let out a sigh and raked my fingers through my hair. His narcotics order had been hijacked so I was sure he was beyond pissed, but he needed to watch his mouth.It was aggravating to listen to him whine, but Victor Vex was a major client and one of Father's close allies. Losing him wasn't going to be good for business. "Br

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "And you're so sure Hazel is going to fall for you" I grinned then turned to leave. "You can't go back just yet. Father wants to have dinner together tonight" I groaned. "Why?"Ethan shrugged. "How would I know? Maybe he heard about what happened with Victor's package, or maybe he just wants to have dinner""Does he have to do this every other night, though? If he has something to say, why does he not just use the goddamn phone he's always carrying around"Ethan gave me a tired smile as he walked past me. "Stop whining like a little boy, even though that's what you are"I grinned and bumped his shoulder. "Just because you're a year older than me doesn't mean I won't punch you in the face, Ethan""Like you did over Keira when Father made you the second in command and she commemorated it by letting me bend her over. You gave me a scar too," he said, pointing to where I'd slashed his face with a dagger. The scar was barely visible. That was because I hadn't cut as

HAZEL STYLES POV "Are you still getting creepy messages from that number?" Lena asked as we strolled through the clothing aisle. "Oh my, these dresses are gorgeous" "They are, aren't they?" I said as I felt the texture of a particular ivory-colored dress. "And no, I haven't gotten another message" Lena stopped in front of me. "You don't have to worry so much about it then. It was borderline stalkerish but since they already stopped, maybe they decided they were creepy after sending you that message" "I hope so. I really can't deal with any more problems. Riven is already plenty enough" Lena grinned. "True, but he's a hot problem," she said, adding a wink, and I shook my head."I see you've forgotten just how hard he tied you up the last time" Lena giggled. "I didn't forget, but since he's so generously offered you such a good deal, I think we should forgive him" "I still don't know his motive tho""I think he likes you and that's why he's doing all these.

HAZEL STYLES POV My gaze locked on those of Liam and he smirked, his smile stretching as he pulled the girl at his side closer, his hand splayed on her waist possessively. "Hi, Hazel. Fancy running into you here. Wait, don't tell me you're having one of your shopping episodes or did you miss me and decided to relieve old memories" "You mean those horrible shitty memories you ugly ass..." "Lena," I called warningly, and she glared at me. "He's the one being a dick" Lena pouted, her brows dipping in a frown."It's fine. I don't care, and you shouldn't either," I said, then took a deep breath. "We should go, or we are going to be late," I said, deciding to ignore him. I had been good to him but I could see that didn't mean shit to him. He wanted to hurt me. It was plain and simple. I was not going to give him the satisfaction."You don't have to be in a hurry to leave Hazel; you're just going to go back to your little prison, right, or to your therapist... You'll probably have a dr

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV ‘Help me’Those two words lurked in my mind, Hazel's blood-drenched face flickering in my memory.I could still remember the fear that had crept Into her eyes when she saw me through the car window, yet she'd still asked for me to save her.Witnessing the death of Styles and his family had been satisfying, especially after what they did to my family through Julian, but then I'd locked eyes with Hazel and she'd reached for me to save her.Even back then, she'd had a vicious hold on me that I was unable to shake no matter how hard I tried. Walking away despite her plea had made me feel as if I was suffocating, and the feeling only intensified with each step I took. In the end, I had to dash for the burning car like a maniac to rescue her.Despite the bad blood between the Styles and the Blackwood, to me, Hazel had always been innocent. Too bad it had to come to this. She was Julian's weakness, and I was going to exploit it to get my revenge.Did she remember me? I

HAZEL STYLES POV "Julian" I gasped, my breath catching in my throat. "Julian. Julian, what are you doing here?" I stuttered. "What the hell do you mean what am I doing here" he thundered, his spit flying. "I saw the fucking news. How dare you go behind my back and do something like this, and then I come here to see you kissing that bastard?" he shouted, as he stepped closer.My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach, and I took a few steps back. "It's not what you think... I promise it's not what it looks like at all"His gaze was venomous, but they weren't trained on me, and before I could get another word out, he was throwing a punch at Riven. My eyes widened, a yelp escaping my lips as Riven grabbed his hand with ease and shoved him hard, a smirk on his lips."That's not a very nice way to say hi, Julian," he said, then suddenly punched him in the face. Julian roared and rushed at him; the sound of their fists driving into each other was sickening. I watched them fight in dread

ETHAN BlACKWOOD POV "What do you mean you can't get me more drugs!" I thundered, my eyes boring into Gustavo's beedy ones.He spread his hand. "Exactly what it means, Ethan. Do you have any idea what troubles I could get into with the hospital? Those drugs are regulated, and I already gave you enough to last you for the whole month, and now you're asking for more just after a few days. If I give you any more I am going to get caught, or do you think that the hospital wouldn't notice the discrepancy when they check the inventory"I leaned over his desk and grabbed him by the collar. "You took my money, and now you're suddenly worried about getting into trouble." I let go of him and slammed my hand on his desk. "Are you trying to get on my nerves? Don't piss me off, Gustavo, you know what I can do," I threatened, then spun around and punched at the wall hard.

HAZEL STYLES POV I was burning up. My body felt hot and every little rustle of my shirt against my skin had sparks igniting all over my skin."Ugh," I grunted as I pushed the blanket off and sat up. "What the hell is wrong with me"Forcing myself to get out of bed even though my legs felt like jelly, I walked toward the bathroom, stepped under the shower, and turned it on.I gasped as the cold spray of water dribbled down my overheated skin, calming me just a bit.I let out a breath and then rested my head against the wall, resisting the urge to trail my hands over my skin as my body tingled all over.What the hell was wrong with me? I was perfectly fine just a few minutes ago and now it was like I was going out of my mind.I shifted under the spray, my thighs tightening as I arched my back to relieve some of the tension coiling through me.My skin felt hot and prickly, my nerves on edge even though I was thoroughly soaked in cold water.The door to the bathroom suddenly unlocked and

HAZEL STYLES POV "I got some stuff from the market" Ethan announced, breaking through the blissful quietness in my head.I turned to face him, my mind blanking out for a second."What?" I asked then looked back to see what I had been doing before his interruptions.My eyes widened as I took in the half-finished canvas in front of me. Then I jerked when I noticed that I was holding a painting brush in my hand. My eyes darted to the color palette on the table at my side enhancing my initial confusion.I glanced up at the painting and then at my hand. Did I paint this? When did I start? Why the hell was my head so blank?"Hazel," he called, and I jerked to face him. "What's wrong? Don't tell me you forgot that you told me to get you some colors for your paintings" he asked, his lips pouting. "I thought you'd hug me for my efforts, but look at that, I'm being ignored again""Um." I glanced at the painting once more, then met his gaze as panic bubbled up my chest. "I didn't mean to... I'm

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV The world around me was shrouded in a hazy red, and as I stared down at Keira's father's bloody face, all I could think of was obliterating everything that moved or breathed. "Fuck this!" I got out, glanced away from him, and then noticed the dead bodies that were littered around the room. I paused, taking in all of the blood, and then I glanced down at myself. I was drenched from head to toe. What the hell happened here? Did I kill them all?All I could remember was going to the Atelier and not finding Hazel there. At first, I thought Ksar had gotten to her before I could, especially after finding the bodies of the men I had hired to watch and keep her safe in the thrash, but the CCTV showed that it wasn't him. It was Ethan.He killed my men and took Hazel away.Everything that happened after that was all hazy, that was until now.I scoffed, my eyes taking in all the blood that was splattered everywhere.

HAZEL STYLES POV The sounds of waves crashing against the shore pulled me out of the dark fog I was in, and I slowly regained consciousness. My eyes opened, then I glanced in the direction the sound was coming from, but I was only met with a thick black curtain. Where the hell was I? I blinked hard to clear away the fogginess from my eyes, then slowly pulled myself into a sitting position.I winced, my head hurting all of a sudden. "Ugh. What the hell happened to me. Did we get into an accident or what" I muttered to myself, my gaze darting around the room I was in. I couldn't really see much because aside from the table lamp that looked like it was running out, there was no other source of lightning in the room.Where the hell did Ethan take me for me to be able to hear the sound of the waves so close?I grabbed my head, trying to recall what had happened and how I got here but it was all blank. "Ethan" I got out, my voice scratchy. I waited for a few seconds but no answer came.

What do you mean you got intel that Riven is going after Julian.""Exactly what it means, boss; I have a feeling that Riven has been keeping an eye on you, boss. It's no coincidence that he found Julian so soon after he escaped our hideout""Or maybe he has been keeping an eye on Ksar," I said, refusing to believe that he knew that I had been planning to betray him. "I told him to look into Ksar after the whole kidnap." "That could be the case but we can't rule out the possibility that Riven already knew everything before now and was just bidding his time to attack""I refuse to believe that. Riven would have had me killed if he knew what I'd been planning. Family means nothing to him, and what he despises the most is betrayers—" David's face was a grim mask.

JULIAN STYLES POV "You chose such a shitty place as a hideout, Julian; I had more faith in you," he said, his eyes darting around the room. He looked disappointed. "You should have just stayed where Ethan was keeping you," he said, and I met his gaze. How the hell did he know that Ethan had been keeping me? Was it just a guess to see how I would react?If he was just baiting, he wasn't going to get anything from me. Yes, Ethan fucking betrayed me, but if Riven killed me, then he would be the only one left that could take him out. Dying sucked but I guess I would be able to rest easy knowing that Riven would be joining me soon enough. He would die at the hands of his own brother."What the hell are you going on about, Riven?" I let out a breath, my injuries flaring as my heart pumped hard in my chest. "If you're going to kill me, just do it"He smirked.

"Don't move around too much, or you're going to get infected," Ksar warned then came to sit in front of me. "How are you feeling? You've been passed out for two days"I glanced around the sparsely furnished room. "Where am I?""A shitty motel" he answered, then smirked. "You lost everything, so you don't get to be picky." "Fuck off, Ksar"He smirked. "So, Hazel is in charge of the company now, huh?" he said, then scoffed. "I mean it was hers in the first place, so I guess this was just everything going back to its proper place""Are you going to be like this?"

Light flooded the whole space, the painting of Hazel I'd bought catching my attention from where it hung on the wall.I walked toward it, stopping when I got close enough."So beautiful," I said and started to trace the vivid colors with my fingertips."Today was so shitty Hazel. I had to sit and watch you and Riven be together and as if that was not enough, I had to deal with that crazy woman. Can you believe she threatened me? She threatened that she was going to tell Riven that I have feelings for you," I groaned, suddenly feeling sick. Hunching over, I took in a deep breath and stumbled to the floor as I lost strength in my legs.

Seconds ticked by, and once I felt more steady, I pushed myself to my feet. "This
