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

    HAZEL STYLES POV "How could you do this" Julian asked, then grimaced in pain. "I told you to stay away from Riven, and the second I looked the other way, you went straight to him," he said, then glanced at me before looking back at the road. "You told me to find a gig... You gave me an ultimatum, you said you were going to tear my studio down. What did you expect me to do" "I expected you to come to work for me at the company," he gritted, then let out a rough exhale before taking in a deep breath. "Of all the people In the world, you go for fucking Riven Blackwood" I went quiet, choosing to watch him seethe until he got the anger out of his system. I doubted he would, there was never a time Julian wasn't angry."You won't be working for him" he got out after a beat of silence. I glanced at him, my stomach twisting when I noticed the resolute look on his face. "I signed a contract for two years" "Break the fucking contract" he roared, his grip on the steering deathly. "I'll pay

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "Where is she?" Ethan asked, as soon as I stepped back into the hall. "Did Julian take his sister away? Your shirt is a bit out of order. Can I assume there was a bit of a scuffle? Is that a bruise on your face" "Fuck off Ethan, I am not in the mood for your shit""Look at that temper and yet you say that all you want to do is use Hazel... Too bad you were rejected before you could even start"My jaw ticked, the blood lust in my veins all-consuming. I clenched my fist, ready to unleash every bit of anger when someone tugged on my shirt."Riven. Oh my god, I've been wanting to talk to you all night," a soft voice chirped. My gaze snapped to hers.She froze, the smile on her lips slipping away. She slowly let go of my suit, her hands trembling in the process. "Oh, um, did I catch you at a bad time? It's just that you said you were going to call me, and I've been patiently waiting, but it's been a whole year, and then I got an invite for this party, so I ..." I in

    HAZEL STYLES POV Riven's family were monsters. But I'd always known that. I'd known just what sought of people they were since the night of the accident. Just the look in Riven's eyes as he stared at me that night had convinced me that he wasn't all that human. His mother's eyes had been dead, too. But It made me wonder just what had happened to make them so cold that even witnessing something so tragic didn't faze them at all. It made me wonder just how much they went through until they became like that.And then I'd hoped that maybe, deep down, there were still some traces of humanity in them. I'd asked for help with that thought in my head. I'd held Riven's gaze and begged him to save me. He didn't. And I spent fifteen years hating him for it. Then our paths crossed, and he was even more terrifying up close. He was a maniac, but every time we interacted, despite acting like a psycho, he didn't hurt me with his words or actions- except for the one time he'd bit my neck. He had t

    HAZEL STYLES POV His gasp of surprise made me realize what I had said. We've fought over the years and never had I told him to his face that he wasn't my family. Julian stared at me, his eyes darkening as they filled up with tears. Was he going to cry? There was no way my word had really hurt him. Was this another tactic that he was going to use to guilt trip me?Sighing as the quietness lingered while he just stared at me, I let my gaze drop. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." "No, you meant to say it," he said, cutting me off. "I have to say this is a surprise though. Maybe I am delusional, but I was certain even if I didn't treat you like my family, you were always going to see me as your brother. I was so sure you would never say those words to me".I gave a bitter laugh and then glanced up at him. "You were so sure, despite the way you treated me. You made me feel worthless, Julian. You made me feel like I was responsible for all of our family misfortune and now you are shocked tha

    HAZEL STYLES POV I shouldn't have bothered with trying to avoid Riven because the first person I saw as I stepped into the studio was none other than him, and shirtless at that I stared eyes wide as I took in his broad shoulders and the dark ink that covered his muscled back like wings and tapered down his well-defined waistline. The intricate design was beautiful and it just made him look all the more seductive without him even trying.Lena was right, he was hot. Everything about him was perfect.What the hell was he even doing here? When he said I would be painting for the exhibition, I didn't think we would be running into each other this early in the game. Wasn't he Mafia? Didn't they have a lot of things to do?I watched him as he spoke, his full lips drawing my attention. Memories of the kiss from the night before flashed in my head, and with it, the sensations I'd felt. It was like I was being kissed all over again. My lips tingled, and I raised my hand to my lips, my thumb t

    JULIAN STYLES POV I wanted to fucking murder Riven. The road blurred in front of me, the rage that welled up in my chest suffocating until I couldn't drag in even a molecule of air. My grip tightened on the steering wheel. "How could this bloody happen?" I roared, stepping on the accelerator, but the speed of the car and the roaring of the engine did nothing to assuage the fire that burned hot in my chest."How dare you come after me, you bastard. I'll make you regret it, I swear it" I yelled as I sped through the night.Hazel. Hazel. Hazel. Her name was a wail in my head. I had told her about what that bastard did to us, and she didn't listen to a word I said.It was all Riven's fault, if he hadn't shown his face to her and then used his ridiculous offer to pull her in, all this mess wouldn't be happening.There was no way he truly loved her art and I'd be damned if I let him have her after holding myself back for all these years. He was doing this to get back at me and I should ha

    HAZEL STYLES POV Riven's gaze didn't waver, and his eyes tracked every little move I made. Feeling nervous, I shifted further into the door. Could he really see my pulse? Maybe he could, but what I was really worried about was if he could also hear just how fast my heart was beating since he was standing so close.I had to remind myself that I couldn't let him get underneath my skin. I was aware that I liked him more than I wished to, but ultimately, it would be my decision to give in to my feelings or not. And aside from what happened in the past, he was also a typical playboy, probably why he was so confident that he could get whoever he set his eyes on. Letting out a short exhale, I crossed my arms and matched his stare. "My pulse can beat for a lot of reasons Riven, it could be because I am terrified of you or I am angry that you are invading my space like this even though I've said countless of times how it makes me feel"His brows dipped, his lips pressing into a thin line.

And I still couldn't wrap my mind around it.She'd shed ugly tears for my pain and kissed my scars as if they were the most beautiful part of me.I pressed the shover button, my head dropping against the wall as the water poured in torrents around me, beating hard against my neck and back.Hazel was killing me.She'd cried for me, and it wasn't just because she pitied me; no, I could tell by her eyes that she'd been truly hurt that I was hurt.

I was sure that I was forgiven for lying to her. It should have made me happy.But I was selfish, and It wasn't enough for me. I wanted more.

    HAZEL STYLES POV Riven's lashes were thick.I stared at him, my eyes taking in every minute detail of his features as he slept. This was the first time I had seen him so sound asleep, and it did things to my heart that it had no right to. Why was he still here? Most times, he was gone when I opened my eyes. I tilted my head, my bottom lip between my teeth as I watched him. He looked breathtakingly handsome.How could someone so beautiful be so fucked up.But wasn't I also fucked up since I couldn't get him out of my head? Riven was dangerous. I should be running for the hills, so why was I here, watching him. Why did I feel like if I left, I would be making a mistake?Every time he came near me, it was like my brain circuited. Sometimes, I couldn't even remember my own name. Sure, he was hot, but I've seen a lot of hot guys, so why was it with Riven, my brain absolutely stopped working.He said he saved me that night.Could I really trust his words?

    ETHAN BLACKWOOD POV "You should stop contacting me Asher, I told you, that was the only help I was going to be rendering""What the hell are you talking about. You gave your word that you were going to help us destroy Riven"I scoffed. "And you believed that. You must be more stupid than I thought. Did you really think that I was going to destroy my family business just because I hate Riven"There was a pause and I smirked just imagining the look on his face."Then why the fuck did you help us. You were the one who provided us with that video"I grinned, staring at my phone. "I was just trying to spice up Riven's relationship because he seemed to be very into it and wasn't doing much about it"I could feel him start to get angry."Don't fucking play me around you bastard, I know that's not why you did it""And what else would be my reason, Asher? I was just bored and needed a little distraction. I've had my fun, so I have no need for you any longer. Don't call this line—""The fuck y

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "Are you going to eat that, or do you need me to feed you?" I asked as she played around with her food."I don't need you to do anything for me" she snapped without looking up at me.I watched her, my fingers twitching as I waited for her to meet my gaze. She didn't. It wasn't surprising. Hazel was stubborn like that.My hands trembled as the ache in my chest grew. Not having her attention was starting to get to me.It hadn't been this bad before, but since last night, my obsession had gotten worse, and how could it not? Her taste still lingered on my tongue like an aphrodisiac and I could still feel her heart pounding beneath my palm, driving me insane with the urge to touch her, to claim her, to make her totally mine.She looked up at me, the frown on her face making her brows dip inward. "You want to have sex with me, don't you? That's why you keep staring at me"I grinned, my brows arching. Could she see into my head now? "Yes," I answered, my gaze dropping to

    HAZEL STYLES POV I lay on the edge of the bed, blindfolded, wrists bound, waiting for him to make his next move.Soft music suddenly filled the room making it hard to pick up his movements."Riven," I called, then gasped as he suddenly clasped My thighs and spread my legs wider.My heart skittered in my chest, my breath coming in shallow bursts and then it was the waiting game all over again and this time it went on for much longer Anticipation gnawed at my insides, twisting them into knots. Was Riven not doing anything because he didn't like what he saw. All the shit Liam always said about my body and how unattractive it was suddenly hit me from all directions.Was that what was happening right now? Riven looking at me and finding me unattractive.I clenched my hand.Was he considering walking away, leaving me aching for a release he was too disgusted to give.Humiliation burned my chest, filling my veins with fire.

    HAZEL STYLES POV We were in the middle of nowhere. I stared at the tall trees that spawned for miles in front of me, my heart pounding hard in my chest.Just where the hell had he taken me."Do you like the view?" Riven asked, and my gaze snapped to his? He had a smile on his face and it only got wider as I glared at him. "You have to admit that it's such a pretty view even if you're mad" My head throbbed. How the hell was I supposed to get out of here. Staying with him for days was already messing with my head.It had been so hard to convince him to let me get out of the house; if I'd known that this was going to be my view, I wouldn't have bothered. God damn it why was everything so hard in my life."You don't like it?" he asked, his brows furrowing.I glared at him, "How am I supposed to enjoy the view when I have this on" I bit out and pointed to the collar on my neck. "Are you taking your fucking dog on a walk? Is that what this is"His gaze dropped to my neck, the smile on hi

"Tell me you have even an inkling as to where that bastard took her"The look on his face told me everything I needed to know. There was still nothing.I clutched at my hair, the stinging pain on my scalp doing nothing to lessen the anxiety gnawing away at my heart.God, I was losing my mind. Just how many days has it been? Three, four, five... Five fucking days."You need to calm down Julian. We just have a few more of the BlACKWOOD properties to check out. If you'll just be patient...""Do I look like I have the patience? I am so sick of hearing you throw that word at me. It's been five days.

    HAZEL STYLES POV He was looking straight at me. Not at the knife I was holding, just straight up staring into my eyes. He really didn't care that I could kill him. Or maybe he did. There was no telling what went on in his head. This was probably all a game to him I gritted my teeth and then brought the knife down, my eyes clenching shut.Breathing hard through the lump in my throat, I slowly opened my eyes and met his gaze, the rage in my chest lessening.Russet eyes met mine and I let out a rough exhale before yanking out the knife from the bedding where I'd stabbed into.He watched me, his eyes tracing my face."I am not someone who gets off on the pain of other Riven. I won't be playing your fucked up games," I breathed and tried to move off of him when he suddenly grabbed me by the waist and flipped us over.My back hit the bed, disorienting me for a second. Heat washed over me as I stared eyes wide at him in surprise. Was I just tossed around like I weighed nothing?His body

    HAZEL STYLES POV I woke up to darkness all around me and it was only after trying to blink that I realized a blindfold was wrapped over my face. I paused, my heart rate increasing as I listened to get a feel of my environment. It was quiet around me. Too quiet.I could tell that I was sitting on a bed, though, and from the feel of the blanket on my thigh, it was probably a big, luxurious bedding.Where the hell was I? The memory of what happened slowly returned, and I let out a sharp gasp as my heart stumbled hard in my chest.I raised my hand to yank off the blindfold and yelped when I was met with resistance. There was something around both of my wrists. I flexed my hand, trying to use my senses to figure out what it was. It had to be some sort of cuffs, but they were smooth and snug around my flesh.Was I fucking chained up? The rankles of the metal against what could only be the bed frame as I jerked my hand had Panic clawing at my lungs and making it difficult to breathe.I tr
