RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV

Hazel brought her head down, her eyes clenching shut, and I drove out of the garage at full speed.

Fury raged in my chest, the feeling burning up my lungs as they opened fire from all sides. I swerved hard, my car hitting those at the side, before accelerating forward.

Their cry of pain did nothing to ease my rage as I drove over those who couldn't make it out of my way in time.

The crunch of their bones and flesh as it shattered under the car's tires filled my ears.

Could Hazel hear it, too? God damnit! She had already been through so much, and now she had to experience this, too.

As I drove forward, more men came out, their automatic weapons a lot more dangerous as they started to aim at the tires.

I swerved to avoid getting hit, my heart hammering in my chest even as I screamed at my head to focus. There was no room for fear. Fear only got people killed.

Bullet rained around the car, the sharp gasp of Hazel every time I swerved, twisting my gut.

    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

    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

    LENA POV A FEW DAYS LATER.Riven and Hazel were already in the news as a couple, and as I stared at the picture that had been taken of them leaving the hospital, I couldn't help but smile.It was still so shocking that Hazel had said yes to Riven after the way she avoided him before all of this."The heart truly wants what it wants, doesn't it?" I muttered to myself, my eyes lingering on the ring Riven had gotten for her. It was so pretty; I wished I had one too. Hazel deserved all the love Riven showered on her because I knew just how much she'd suffered to get this far... I just hoped that from now on, all the bad energy would finally be replaced with only good onesSighing, I dropped the magazine on the table and then cupped my chin with my hand."When am I going to get my own prince charming, huh?" I asked, then sighed. "I want someone to be suffocatingly obsessed with me too."The alarm on my phone pinged and I glanced at it, my eyes widening."Oh damn, it's today" I got out an

He stuttered, his eyes darting away from us to the wall.Groaning under my breath, I tried to get up, my hand pushing softly at Riven to get off of me, but his grip just tightened on my arms.My eyes moved to his, my brows arching as he continued to pin me down."Riven?" I whispered, blinking as his eyes darkened into an intense scowl that had my stomach flipping. Dear Lord, He looked so hot when he was pissed."Tell him to go away" he whispered, the warmth of his breath sending shivers down my spine.I shuddered In his arms, my breath catching in my throat. "I can't. He's already here. That would be rude"Riven's head dipped lower, his growl rumbling through my skin. "He is really tempting me to stick a knife in him, little rabbit" he whispered, his lips grazing the shell of my ear. "I don't know how much longer I can restrain myself" he breathed, his threat making

    HAZEL STYLES POV I woke up to a room filled with sweet scenting brightly colored flowers. Admiring the burst of color in the room, I shifted onto my side and froze as my eyes locked onto Riven's from the chair facing my bed. His lips curved into a smile, his gaze trained on me with an unnerving intensity that had my heart skipping a beat when he slowly pushed forward."Riven" I gasped, and he got up from the chair, the suddenness of it sending a jolt of electricity through my body and making my breath catch in my throat as he dropped his hand on either side of me and leaned in."Good morning beautiful. Did you sleep well?"His deep rumbly voice had my heart doing a flip in my chest.Color rushed up my cheeks and I glanced away from him as I blushed. "Yes," I whispered, dragging in air into my lungs before forcing myself to meet his gaze. "Did you?"He inched closer, one of his hands lifting to stroke my hair, and then he tucked a stray strand behind my ear, his touch light and gentl

    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.

    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.

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
