HAZEL STYLES POV "This is not working" I glanced up from my food, my eyes widening a bit as my gaze met those of Liam. "What are you talking about? Don't you like the food pairing" I asked, my hands trembling a bit as I pointed to the food on the table. I knew he hated whatever I liked but I was starving and also a bit anxious so I'd ordered most of my comfort food."What do you think? Did you have to get all these dishes? You're always ordering like you're trying to add more fat to those you already have" My brows furrowed. "I just saw my therapist yesterday and he told me I was underweight... That's why I ordered..." "How could I forget," he said cutting me off with a roll of his eyes, "the baggage you have is endless. Aside from being an artist who doesn't have a career, you also have unresolved childhood trauma. Oh, Your brother is also out to get you." He let out an exasperated sigh. "Do you know how exhausting you are" His words hurt but I was already used to them, besides

HAZEL STYLES POV Blood. There was blood dripping down his face. The debris of the broken vase clattered on the floor, the flower that had been in it falling at his feet. The man beside him, stared at Riven, his eyes like saucers.I stood frozen, my heart pounding so hard, that I was sure I was going to pass out. Riven gingerly raised his hand and touched his head, his stoic face scrunching when he noticed the blood, and then his eyes moved from it in search of the culprit. I took a step backward, my hand hitting the decorative vase at my side. The shattering sound was deafening and when I glanced away from the damage, it was to clash gazes with those of Riven. Staring at him head-on was disorienting, but as our gaze met and held, I couldn't look away.He smirked, then walked toward me, and the closer he got, the more intimidating he looked. He was tall. I was sure he was six feet, six inches tall, if not more. The pictures I'd seen over the years didn't do him any justice at all.

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POVI watched as she ran, the urge to chase overwhelming. Such bewitching features. It made my blood run both hot and cold. She was an enemy, but who knew she was so alluring up close? Auburn red hair that accented her hazel eyes and a petite frame so frail, I was sure she would break if I handled her roughly. Would she though? My fingers itched to test out the theory. Her gaze had been fierce, so I bet there was fire in her. If I pushed hard enough, would she really break? And if I used just the right amount of strength, would she still bruise?I turned in the direction she ran, my hands squeezing into fists as I willed myself to stop."Patience Riven. Patience" I told myself, trying to calm the urge to hunt her down.My eyes blinked shut and I took in a deep breath. Her face flashed in my head, The perfect symmetry of her features and her pouty red lips was a dangerous combination that made me picture her in steamy precarious positions that made my throat dry and fo

HAZEL STYLES POV "How could you be so stupid" Julian yelled as he threw the pictures in his hand at my face. They pooled around me, their crinkling sound slicing at my heart. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that..." "You don't know anything. Do you know how much I had to pay to stop your disgraceful act from being leaked on the media? I am trying to protect you and all you do is try as much as you can to jeopardize that. What the hell is wrong with you" "I am sorry..." "Your apology is not going to cut it. Our parents died because of you. I lost the only people who cared about me so why can't you live right huh? Do I have to die so you can be happy? I told you Liam was no good and for you to stay away from him. Why don't you ever listen? Look at all that mess I had to clean up. Why are you so stupid huh" Darkness swirled in my vision. He was right. I was stupid. I deserved this. I should have seen Liam for who he was. I'd just been so desperate... I'd wanted someone to love and suppo

HAZEL STYLES POV "Riven" I gasped In disbelief and watched as his lips lifted in a smirk that made my stomach lurch with emotions I couldn't quite explainI'd fallen asleep on the sofa after letting out all of my frustrations, but I was sure the door had been locked so how the hell had he gotten in here? And did he touch my lips? My nightmare had been a memory, but the last bit... Nothing like that happens. I met his piercing gaze, then took in our position. He was kneeling over me, his powerful thigh between mine, making an escape almost impossible, but I had to try. I tried to twist away but he was much faster. Riven grabbed my shoulders and held me in place, then made a tsk sound."You covered it up. You shouldn't have done that" I tried to shove him off and gasped as he took hold of my hand with just one of his and yanked it above my head. He ripped the bandage off the bite mark, then pressed his mouth against my throat, his warm breath encircling the cut and making sparks sh

HAZEL STYLES POV "Let go of her, or I'm going to tase you, " Lena screamed, her eyes wide like saucers. I and Riven's gaze locked in on hers from the sofa where he'd pushed me unto after taking out the brush I'd stabbed into his arms.Lena let out a shrill scream, then slapped a hand over her mouth. I could totally understand her reaction. There was paint all over us since I'd tried to run for my life and ended up tripping on something and knocking up the bucket of paint mix.The whole studio looked like a nightmare and so did we.Riven regarded her, his eyes curious. "Are you really going to do that? I don't believe you" Lena's gaze moved to mine, the question in her eyes easy to understand. I mouthed that he was insane and her eyes widened further."If you don't let go of her, I am really going to use this and it's going to hurt. You'll probably become Impotent too, 'cause I am going to aim for your dick," she got out shakily, her grip on the taser unstable. "Lena, what the hell

HAZEL STYLES POV There was screaming alright, but it wasn't from Riven whatsoever. It was me as my face burned. My klutzy ass freaking sprayed myself in the face. I gasped as a searing, burning sensation exploded across my cheeks, nose, and eyes. My eyelids felt like they were being sliced open, and as tears streamed down my face, the pain only got worse."Oh God, I am going to die" I choked out and struggled against Riven who was trying to hold my flailing armsMy lungs burned, and trying to fight Riven's hold even though I couldn't see for shit made every breath I took feel like I was inhaling razor blades. Why the hell was he trying to pin me down when I was freaking dying. Why won't he just leave me alone?"Calm the fuck down, or it's going to get worse," Riven roared, and I stilled in shock at the fury in his voice. I was dying and he thought I could calm down. What the hell was his problem? This was all his fault. I wouldn't be all hysterical and dying if he hadn't broken i

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "What do you think you are doing," she asked as I stalked toward her. Her throat moved as she swallowed nervously, and my gaze dropped to her slender neck before moving back to her expressive wide eyes. She drew her hands up, her dainty fingers forming into fists. "Don't come any closer or I am going to punch you in the face. I'm really going to do it" she warned, her hands trembling a little.She looked so comical that I couldn't help a chuckle escaping my lips. She stared at me incredulously, her hazel eyes wide as saucers. "Do you think I am joking" I put my hands up in the air in mock surrender "Oh, I can tell you are very serious. It's just the whole paste on your face didn't give you the intimidating look you were going for."Her lips pursed angrily and I grinned because she looked like a pufferfish. The smile on my face seemed to aggravate her further and she swung at me. I caught her hand midair and she gaped at me, the pulse at her neck thumping wildly.

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. "Fucking bastard"Gustavo's eyes darted around, sweat trailing down the sides of his face. "I really can't get you more drugs, E

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. The house looked like a scene from a horror movie."I m

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.

EARLIER ETHAN BlACKWOOD POV I got to my feet, my eyes bulging as I stared at David."What the hell are you talking about? 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. "—Except, this was all a game to him," I stated, realization dawning. He found out that I was planning t

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. "We will get to that part Julian, you don't need to be in such a hurry"I stared at him, my hands clenching at my side. If only I h

JULIAN STYLES POV "You look like shit," Ksar said, the scar on his face bunching as his face scrunched up in disgust. "I can't believe you let that bastard get the best of you"I groaned, my face furrowing in pain as the wound on my stomach pulled when I tried to sit up. "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?" I asked and jerked when he suddenly leaned close."I'll be however I want to," he growled, then pulled back, his narrowed eyes digging into me. "So, how are

ETHAN BlACKWOOD POV "Home sweet home," I got out as I stumbled into the house and hit the light switch. 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. A wave of nausea washed over me, cold chills breaking out all over my body."Fuck, I shouldn't have drank so much," I groaned, waiting for the horrible feeling to pass. Seconds ticked by, and once I felt more steady, I pushed myself to my feet. "This
