HAZEL STYLES POV "I love you, Hazel," Riven's voice whispered in my ear, his hand grazing my cheek. But there was something wrong. He looked all kinds of wrong. And the hand that was touching my face was sticky with blood.He suddenly grinned, the blood on his face dripping into mine. "You should have run when I told you to, little rabbit"****A sharp gasp escaped my lips as I woke up, my body trembling as my heart pumped hard in my chest.Realizing that it was all a nightmare, I took a deep breath and let it out, then did it a few more times until the trembling stopped and I could focus.I sat up, then groaned as pain wracked through my body and made me dizzy. It was like I'd been run through by a truck. My limbs and hands all felt like lead. What the hell happened to me.I glanced around the dimly lit room."Hello" I called, but my voice came out hoarse and small.My mouth was parched and my throat felt like sandpaper. I gripped at the bedsheet as my eyes darted around the unfam

HAZEL STYLES POV "It's exactly as I said. After your little accident in the woods, Riven met up with me and told me you were too much trouble and he didn't want to be bothered with you anymore"Maybe in the past, I would have been gullible to believe his word, but now I knew better. Riven loved me too much to abandon me. Whatever was going on, there had to be an explanation for it.Julian smirked, his smile stretching. "You don't believe me, do you?" he stated, then laughed. "You know what, it doesn't even matter. The truth remains that you've been abandoned once again, and that too by someone you gave your heart to"I fisted the sheet. "I think you should leave since you have nothing good to say..."His hand thrust out and I flinched, pain coursing through my arms as he gripped my shoulder hard."When the hell are you going to stop this madness, Hazel. You found out that that bastard lied to you, and what did you do? You chose to go away with him. Now I am telling that he betrayed

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV *****A WEEK EARLIER Cold water splashed onto my face, and I gasped awake, choking as some of it got into my lungs.I blinked, trying to get my vision to adjust to the dim lightening in the room as water dripped into my eyesI tried to move and groaned as pain zapped through the length of my arm.Both of my hands were chained above my head. And I could tell that it had been a while since I passed out as they were so numb that I couldn't even feel them.My legs were also fastened to the platform I was chained to, making movement almost impossible.I gritted my teeth as I tested the strength of the iron and found them unyielding. What the hell was going on."Are you finally awake, son?" Father said as he stepped into my line of vision.My heart froze to a stop, my ears ringing as everything that happened rushed back to me. I looked around the room I was in wildly, then glanced back at Father when I didn't see Hazel."Hazel" I called out, then gasped as a punch stru

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV PRESENT CONFERENCE ******"You need to look into the man who abducted me for Julian. There was something off about him. He wasn't the usual type of hitman Julian normally uses." Ethan said as he followed me through the hallway."Father already has someone looking into it. After Julian dies, he would be next" I said with no feelingEthan stopped in his tracks, and I stopped too, my hands poised next to where my gun was. I turned to face him."Are you alright?" I asked, my gaze sweeping the hallway for any potential threat."I'm sorry," he started, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I'm sorry for what happened with Hazel. If I hadn't been careless and gotten kidnapped, none of this would have happened" I clenched my fist as a surge of anger washed over me."You don't need to apologize," I said then turned away from him because every time I looked at him, all I wanted to do was carve into his face and watch him bleed to death."I got an update that she woke up today

HAZEL STYLES POV "What are you going to do" Lena asked, her voice cutting through my thoughts. I turned to face her and then let out a sigh as I rubbed my hand over my face."I don't know, Lena" I answered, then sighed as I glanced around. "I just feel so tired honestly. It's like I can never catch a break no matter how hard I try," I choked out, then shook my head as tears welled up In my eyes. "I understand. These past few months have been really crazy"But it wasn't just crazy. Everything was literally messed up. It was like every time I had something good going for me, tragedy struck and took it all away. It's always been that way. On the night of my birthday, I lost my parents, then I almost got killed by a stalker as my art career started to kick off, and now I was separated from Riven just after I made up my mind to be with him. It was like each time I managed to take a step forward, I ended up taking two steps back.When was it all going to bloody end?I met Lena's gaze and

JULIAN STYLES POV"She's going to take everything back," I said, glancing at Asher. "She left the hospital without my knowledge and just yesterday I got an official letter telling me to step down from my position as the director"He chuckled, then took a sip of the drink in his hand. "Is that so?" Asher said and turned to face me. "So why are you here then. Shouldn't you be out there putting your little sister in her place so she knows not to mess around with us"I scoffed. "How am I supposed to do anything to her when I don't even know where the hell she is"Asher stood up and I flinched as he suddenly shoved off all the items on the table in front of him with a roar. "What the fucking hell!" I shouted as the sound of shattering glass subsided.He glared at me, his chest heaving. "All this shit is happening because you never use your head, damnit. Ethan was going to help us if you allowed me to work harder on him, but what did you do? You had him kidnapped and sent his finger to his

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "Killing Julian was Riven's job," Father said, his gaze boring into those of Ethan. "You have never been capable of doing a clean job, so why the hell did you do something this impulsive. Because of you, that bastard escaped""I'm sorry" he apologized, his head bowed and his hands clasped behind his back. "I saw an opportunity and took it. Yes, Julian got away, but at least I was able to kill Asher. That counts for something right"I watched Ethan. There was something off about him. I noticed it for a while but didn't put a mind to it because he was family, but now, it gnawed at me. There was something different about him. It was like the dark nature he struggled so hard to hide was finally coming up to the surface and making him act out of character.Father let out a growly sigh, then met my gaze. "All this is happening because of your little rebellion, Riven. If you hadn't let that woman get into your head, none of this would have been happening"I smirked. "I t

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "You said you wanted to talk, talk then," Father said, his eyes trained on the guns mounted on the platform in front of him."Are you really going to keep pushing me to the wall like this? You already made your point, so don't you think it's time you stopped?" My voice was calm, but inside, a fire raged.He grinned as he tilted his head in my direction. "And what would happen next?" He asked, then scoffed and picked out one of the guns in front of him. "If I stop now, it means admitting defeat. Defeat means death. Isn't that what you want, to kill your own father"My jaw ticked. I couldn't deny it. Even right now, the urge to put a bullet through his skull was overwhelming.He shook his head. "You've always been that way since you were young Riven. Killing was second nature to you and you didn't care who had to die if it got you what you wanted""If you are so afraid, I can give you my word that I won't harm you, old man""Afraid? Of you?" he laughed, his voice bo

EPILOGUE ETHAN BLACKWOOD POV I gasped awake, my breath coming out in harsh pants as my eyes darted around the room wildly. But I was all alone.I sucked in a sharp breath and then groaned as the pain hit me all at once, my chest constricting painfully despite my effort to relax.The feeling was awful. My body felt like it was on fire, and despite all the drugs that were pumped into my system every other hour, I couldn't even breathe without feeling like I was on the verge of death.It was a horrible existence. I spent every day writhing in agony, praying and wishing for the day it would all end.And as if that was not enough, I kept having nightmares every other night of Riven coming to finish the job. I knew Father said he already made a deal with him to spare my life, but I was still skeptical. It could all be a lie to make me let my guard now— I scoffed."Let my guard down? What the hell can I do even if he chooses to attack me now," I muttered to myself, laughing at how ridicul

HAZEL STYLES POV I stared into the mirror, awed by the girl staring right back at me. Lena leaned over my shoulder, her gorgeous face shining as her lips stretched in a sweet smile."You look ethereal Hazel. I keep saying it, but Riven is totally going to be speechless when he sees you."I grinned, letting out a nervous breath. "He better be!" I said then met her gaze. "You also look really beautiful, Lena"She did a little twirl, then laughed. "I know girl!" "Like, look at all those curves—" A knock on the door interrupted me and we both glanced at it. "I'll go check," Lena offered, walked to the door, and pulled it open just enough to stick her head out. "Mr Blackwood," she gasped out and my eyes widened.I could hear him asking to talk to me alone. Lena glanced at me and I nodded.She stepped out as Mr Blackwood walked in, then gently closed the door behind her, leaving the both of us alone."Mr Blackwood?"He took off his cap. "Don't be so formal, Hazel, after all, we are beco

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "This was fun, right?" I asked, staring at her face as she basked in the sun, her skin glowing in the light.She grinned, her head turning in my direction. "After receiving gold bars from your Dad, I really don't have much to complain about."I chuckled, then tilted my face to the sun. We lay in comfortable silence, enjoying the sound of nature. It was serene. I glanced at her. Her eyes were closed, but I could see some crease on her forehead and I wondered if it was wise to bring her to the beach after what happened with Ethan. "Are you really okay, Hazel?" I asked, watching as her eyes blinked open, her gaze fixed on the crashing waves as she thought over my question. We've already talked through most of her trauma but I needed to make sure that she was truly fine. I had to know that I wasn't doing something that could jeopardize all the progress she'd made. I wanted to make sure I was her safe space just like she was mine. "You can tell me anything you kn

HAZEL POV The curtain opened, and Lena gasped, her gaze darting to Eloise, her mom, who was equally staring at me in awe."Well," I asked, spreading my arm a bit. "What do you think?"Lena's mom got up, her eyes fixed on me almost reverently. "What do we think? You look absolutely stunning, dear. Wow, I am just speechless," she said and I grinned, the nervous energy slipping out of my body. This was the third dress I was trying on and they had all been good, but I liked this one best and was a bit worried that Eloise and Lena might disagree, but I shouldn't have bothered. I guess, just like me, they had a good eye."Really?" I asked, just to make sure."Don't just sit there, Lena. Doesn't she look absolutely stunning?" She asked, turning to face Lena. I also faced her.Lena looked like she was in a trance, her wide eyes locked in on the dress on my body; then she blinked, her hands flying over her open mouth, and then she literally screamed. I and Eloise jumped, a bit surprised beca

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "I told you not to kill him," Father got out gravely, his hands flexing against the window sill. Letting out a sigh, he turned to face me. "What are you going to do when Victor finds out that you murdered his son huh? Do you think you'll be able to take him out like you did to Metz?"I stared at him. From how passionate he had been the last time we spoke, I expected him to be more angry than he was right now. Not that I cared though.I scoffed, then raked my fingers through my hair. "I wasn't thinking of doing anything that drastic, Father. Don't be so paranoid." His shoulders tensed, his veins visible as he gritted his teeth. "This is not a joking matter, Riven!" He snapped, his hands balling up at his side. Yes, that was more like it. Nothing pleased me more than rilling up the old man.I straightened, my gaze holding his. "I never said it was, you're the one who keeps blowing this out of proportion." I let out a rough breath, then stuffed my hand into my pocke

HAZEL STYLES POV The soft music filtering through the air pulled me out of the foggy dreamland I was in. My eyes blinked open, then I turned, the weight of Riven's arm on my hips making me smile.My face was leveled with his chest, and as I took in the smooth expanse of his skin, my pulse picked up, a wave of desire washing over me.I reached forward tentatively, my fingers caressing and tracing his muscles, loving the way he flexed even in his sleep."So beautiful," I whispered, then pressed my palm against his chest, the steady rhythm of his heart picking up as I flexed my hand.My gaze jerked up to see him watching me, the smoldering look in his eyes making my breath hitch."You're awake," I stuttered, my face flaming up as I remembered just how insane last night had been. I started to look away and gasped when his hand gripped my jaw, his russet brown eyes boring into mine."Keep your eyes on me, baby, you don't have to be shy when it's just us," he rumbled, his voice raspy.

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV I watched Ksar limp away, then turned to face Hazel."You shouldn't have taken that risk. I told you I was going to handle it," I got out, the rhythm of my heart still out of beat.Hazel stared at me from beneath her lashes. "I'm sorry," she muttered, then raised her head, her glazy eyes crashing with mine.It was disarming. My mouth dried and I swallowed, getting lost in them.It had driven me insane watching that filthy bastard touch her and put a gun to her head. For a split second, I'd almost put a bullet into his head when I had him in my range, but then Hazel had turned the tables in a move that stole the breath right out of my lungs.I had watched her through my scope, my heart pounding in my chest as she smashed his wrist and took the gun from him. She'd taken charge like the boss she was and I couldn't help but be proud of her even though the fear that it could have ended badly lingered like a bad taste in my mouth.Hazel stepped closer, her hands splayin

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
