HAZEL STYLES POV The gun went off, and I gasped, my eyes widening as something hot pierced the side of my stomach.It went quiet for a second and then I stumbled, my vision blurring as a sudden crushing pain knocked the breath right out of my lungs.I doubled over, my trembling hands moving to the warmth spreading through my clothes. The metallic tang of blood filled my mouth, and as I glanced down to my stomach, my hands clutching at the blood-soaked portion of my dress, I realized that I'd been shot.Ethan had shot at me. I turned to face him, the shock that he'd really pulled the trigger while aiming at me reverberating through my mind like a scream that refused to fade. My eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, we just stared at each other, the tension between us thick and heavy.I dropped to my knees, the pain I felt making my vision blurry. He walked toward me, his jaw clenching as he stopped in front of me.He reached for me, his hand tangling in my hair, and then he yanke

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV The force of the bullets hitting me in the back sent me crashing forward. I hit the ground, the gun skidding out of my hand.Grunting from the pain firing up my back, I raised my head, my eyes meeting those of Hazel's wide ones.Tears filled them up as she stared at me, the light in the room making them glisten like stars; then a choked sob escaped her lips, a single tear drop tracing its path down her cheek.My heart twisted In my chest. I hated that It had taken me so long to find her and that even now, she was still in danger when I'd sworn to protect her.I tried to get up, needing to go to her and assure her that I was fine, when a hand fisted around my hair, and my head was yanked back viciously."I knew you were going to find me Riven, too bad I was a step ahead huh""You hurt her," I gasped out, staring at Hazel where she was pressed against the wall, the fear in her eyes making it difficult for me to breathe.Ethan's grip tightened on my hair. "She was t

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV A WEEK LATER "I don't want to see you right now, I think you should leave, Riven" Those were the words Hazel had said to me when I'd gone to check up on her in her hospital room, and five hours later, it was still replaying in my head.I chipped at my nails, the suffocating pressure in my chest crushing at my lungs.God damn it! I let out a harsh breath, then grabbed my head and leaned forward.I was losing my mind just thinking about it. Did she tell me to leave because she needed some time to get better, or was she pushing me away for good? It didn't help that she hadn't only said that but also flinched hard, her eyes flaring with terror when I reached to touch her face.My jaw clenched, dark thoughts running through my head. I clutched at my hair, tugging hard on it as the vice grip on my heart tightened.Just how much longer could I endure this cat-and-mouse game we played before I went insane?She'd promised that she was going to stay by my side no matter

HAZEL STYLES POV I gasped awake, my eyes darting around the room wildly as I panted for air. Goosebumps traced my skin, and a cold chill ran down my spine."Riven" I called out, then clamped my mouth shut. "No, not him," I told myself, drawing in a shaky breath. My eyes slowly adjusted to the low lighting in the room, and after a few quiet seconds, I realized that the frightening images had all been a nightmare.Trying to calm down, I raked my hand through my hair and sucked in a deep breath."It's not real. It's not real" I chanted to myself when someone touched my hand. I flinched, hard, my heart almost beating out of my lungs."Hazel, it's just me, Lena" she got out, looking shocked at my reaction.I clutched at my chest and glared at her. "You almost killed me. Why didn't you say anything sooner""Because you looked like you just woke up from a nightmare, and I didn't want to scare you," she explained, and I gave her a pointed look. "And it's my bad" she quickly added "I should

HAZEL STYLES POV "I'm so happy you're awake Hazel. You have no idea what hell I've been through the past few days" he murmured against my hair, his arms squeezing me.Getting over my initial shock, I grabbed at the side of his shirt and pushed at his chest a bit so he'd let go, but he just held onto me tighter."Raphael," I called out, and he shook his head."Don't push me away Hazel... Please just let me hold you for a few more seconds," he begged, his voice muffled as he snuggled impossibly closer.I glanced at Lena, the shock on her face mirroring mine. Her jaw was literally on the floor as she stared at Raphael.Forcing myself not to freak out, I slowly reached up and then patted his back. "Alright then," I got out tentatively, my gaze darting from him to Lena, then back again. "Take your time... I guess," I said.My words seemed to make him happier. He let out a contented sigh, then dropped his weight against me, his hand rubbing over my back. I allowed myself to relax into his

HAZEL STYLES POV"You belong to me, Hazel" he growled, his eyes burning into mine.My breath hitched, his words making my heart start up a frenzied rhythm in my chest.I swallowed and watched as his gaze dipped to my throat, following the movement.I clutched the sheet harder, my pulse quickening the longer his gaze lingered, then he looked up, his eyes dark and intense and stealing the breath right out of my lungs. The connection between us sparked like a live wire as he searched my face, his pupils dilating slightly the longer he looked at me, and then he leaned in even closer."You are mine Hazel, don't ever forget that"His words had my heart jumping, the intensity of his stare thickening the air between us with an unspoken tension that made it difficult to breathe.He turned away from me, and I let out a sharp breath, realizing that I'd been holding my breath the whole time."Leave," he ordered and my gaze jerked to those of Raphael, who was staring at him dazedly from the floor

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV A fire raged in my chest as I stared into her eyes. Our harsh breath mingled, the tension thick between us. Her eyes were wide with a mix of fear and anticipation, her body tense and trembling. I leaned in, my face just inches from hers. "Give in to me, little rabbit. You already know there's no escaping me" "And if I don't want to" she asked, looking up at me with a mixture of defiance and hunger in her eyes. Even though her refusal had my blood burning, I couldn't help but smirk as I saw the effect I was having on her. I leaned in even closer, my lips brushing against her cheek. "You think you can keep resisting me," I growled, my voice low and dangerous. "But you're wrong, Hazel. I've grown on you. You can't shake me off no matter how hard you try." She tried to pull away, her body struggling against my hold on her wrists. But I just held onto her tighter, my grip unyielding. "Struggle all you want, but you know you want me just as much as I want you." I

LENA POVRaphael was pissed, and it showed even in the way he strode ahead of me, his back ramrod straight, his hands balled up so hard, I could see his knuckles glistening white.He suddenly stopped in his tracks and then turned to face me, forcing me to stop, too. "Was that guy telling the truth? He can't possibly be her boyfriend right... I mean, did you see how violent he was... Hazel will never date someone like that... She literally lived alone because she couldn't stand Julian, and you're telling me she's dating him... He's part of the bloody Mafia!"I let out a sigh and then shook my head. "I don't think he punched you hard enough if you're still asking all these questions, Raphael.""Lena" he hissed, his eyes narrowing.I threw my hand up in the air. "What do you want me to say, Raphael. Do you want me to feed your delusions and tell you that both of them are not together and that he's probably forcing her to be with him? Well, they are together. They love each other and wer

HAZEL STYLES POV He leered as he approached me, the gun in his hand aimed straight at my face. "Look at those rage-filled eyes," he grinned, flicking the gun. "I can see the obsession Julian had with you now. No wonder he wanted to keep you at his side so bad even if it meant dying," he said, then paused, his eyes roaming over my face.My hands balled into fists, the urge to punch the smug look off his face overwhelming. "I should have killed you on that night fifteen years ago. You were like an itch under my skin that I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. But if there is one thing I've learned, it's that waiting and anticipating the thrill of a kill gives the same dopamine as the act itself. Also, I knew this day was going to come. I am very good at predicting things, you see."Tears of pure rage brimmed in my eyes, blurring my vision. "Fucking bastard! It isn't enough that you killed my mom and my dad—""Wrong," he shouted, cutting me off. He leaned in, his eyes boring

HAZEL STYLES POV "Wow, you look really beautiful, Hazel," Lena said as I stepped out of the house.I smiled, rubbing my sweaty palm on the sides of my dress. "Thank you, Lena." My gaze dropped to the off-the-shoulder, beautiful, short black dress I had on. "But it's a bit on the shorter side huh?"Lena nodded. "I'm actually surprised Riven let you wear this?"I grinned, rolling my eyes. "He almost didn't. You should have seen him making a fuss about how it was going to make everyone stare at me" I huffed and she laughed "You couples won't take it easy on us singles, will you?" She tsked, then pouted. "I feel so jealous."I grabbed her arm, jerking her close. "Don't be. I'm sure you're going to find your prince charming very soon.""Ugh, please, I am done searching for a prince charming. I'll take a paid vacation instead," she said, and I laughed, then let go of her. "Come on let's go, or the restaurants gonna be close before we get there."I nodded, my gaze darting to those of Riven

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "I can't believe this is happening. This is all my fault Riven. If Lena weren't my friend, none of this would be happening to her." Hazel got out, her voice laced with agitation. She clutched at her hair, then looked at me, tears brimming in her eyes. "Why does this keep happening, Riven? Why do I bring so much suffering to anyone close to me?"I shook my head, hating that she would even think that she brought anything but joy to those around her. She was literally the only color in my bleak, horrid existence; if she hadn't come into my life, I would have lost myself."Hey, hey, hey" I whispered, approaching her carefully. "None of what is happening is your fault," I said firmly. "Don't ever say that again. How long have you been friends with Lena, huh? How many good things happened to her because you were in her life? Don't only focus on the negative things, try to think on the positives too!"She shook her head, evading my touch. "How can you tell me to focus on

LENA POV I stared at my phone, my gaze boring at the number on the screen.It's been two days already, two days of absolute torture and agony. I wondered what the bastard was doing to Raphael at this moment.He's taken him hostage and told me he was going to give me two days to think about it.I guess he was calling to know what my answer would be.Taking a deep breath, I picked up the phone, answered the call, and raised it to my ear."Hello." I was greeted with a growl. "You should have picked on the first ring."I wish I had the power to bitch slap him through the phone, but I couldn't, and I couldn't get him mad either. "I'm sorry. The phone was under a pile of stuff. I couldn't get to it in time.""Have you made a decision" he cut me off, his voice menacing. "Or should I kill your brother?"I sucked in a sharp breath and then let it out. "I'll do it. I'll do what you want."I could tell he was grinning in victory."Good girl," he praised. "I knew you would do the right thing

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV My head throbbed, and as I stepped into the house—my eyes searching the space for Hazel and not finding her—the feeling got worse.Father's threat rang In my head and the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.Damn the old man. I guess because I agreed so easily to let Ethan live, he thought I was still under his control. He had another thing coming if he thought I was going to let Ksar live just because he was Victor's son.Damn it, I wanted to punch something.No, all I need is Hazel."Where are you, Hazel" I whispered, yanking the door to the studio open and slamming it shut when I didn't see her.I checked the tracker, my brows arching when it showed that she was at the back of the house."What are you doing outside..." I mused. Feeling impatient, I reached for my phone to check the camera, then remembered that she'd told me in the morning that she was going to spend the whole day painting. "Is that what you're doing right now?" I asked, then grinned, the

RIVEN BlACKWOOD POV "The doctor said he is going to survive," Father got out, his beedy eye fixed on my face, his gaze piercing through me as if daring me to reveal what I truly had in mind for my dear big brother.I scoffed, turning away to gaze out the window. "You don't have to watch me so closely, Father. I promise not to pull the plug when no one's looking.""That does not sound very assuring," he got out, and I turned to face him."Well you'll just have to take my word for it, won't you?"Father let out a tired sigh, then rubbed at his beard. "He is still your brother Riven. You already hurt him that bad, I think you should forget his betrayal and let him live."I stared at him, my eyebrows furrowing. "This is a surprise," I said, then tilted forward, my voice laced with incredulity. "The old you would've called me a fool for sparing his life. What changed? Did you suddenly find God or something?"He avoided my gaze, his hands balling up at his side. "Well, I am getting old. I

LENA POV I stared at the gun, my eyes wide with shock, then met his gaze. "What is the meaning of this, "I got out, my voice coming out in a whisper as fear gripped my lungs. "What do you mean by showing us a gun...""He's obviously trying to threaten us with it" Raphael cut in, his voice harsh with anger. "Listen here, you fucking bastard; You can't keep us here without our consent. What do you think is going to happen if we get the cops involved, huh? Carrying a gun and threatening us like this is fucking illegal" Ksar scoffed, then laughed, his brows arching "Is it really illegal?" He asked, the expression on his face mocking. "I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me just now" he grinned, then his face hardened, his eyes narrowing. "I'm not sure you've grasped the situation you're in yet, cute little Raphael... Should I just put a bullet in your head, so you'll realize how serious I am""Don't you dare hurt him" I cried out, then met his gaze pleadingly. "Please don't hurt us

LENA POV "This place looks sick," Raphael got out excitedly as we stepped inside the restaurant, his eyes moving around the space. "Are you sure this was supposed to be a romantic dinner date or a goth party"I let out a sigh, my eyes taking in the darkly lit deserted space. Raphael was right about the style of the place being more suited for a goth party, but where he found it cool, I found it weird and a bit scary.Also, why was there no one in sight? There was no smell of food or drinks either.I glanced around, sweat dotting my hairline, and my palms getting clammy. "Where's he though? And why is this place so empty? Do you think he rented out the whole place to surprise you?" Raphael asked, looking around.I faced him, my thumb pinching nervously on my forefinger. "If he did, then wouldn't you being here ruin everything?" I said, then dragged my hand through my hair. "I told you not to follow me, you should have listened""Hey, chill out, we haven't even seen the guy yet, so t

RIVEN BlACKWOOD POVI drove to a stop in front of the house and then glanced at Hazel as she stared at the building that stood before us, her eyes wide in awe.I grinned loving the reaction, knowing that it was real and not just play pretend.She turned to face me excitedly. "It's so beautiful," she got out then pressed her face to her palm, her voice soft and proud. "Do you make it a point to only buy the best houses on the market, Riven. Are you into real estate now".I smirked, my eyes fixed on her face, trying as much as I could to commit every detail to memory. "No," I answered, and she tilted her head, her brows dipping. "You're not?" She asked, genuinely curious.I nodded, my gaze dropping to the arch of my pale, smooth neck. My mouth watered as my gaze lingered. I wanted to sink my teeth into it. Tearing my eyes away, I met her gaze, my breath hitching at the hunger in her eyes. Did she notice me staring? Was she feeling the tension the same way I was? I licked over my lips
