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—"

    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? Was that even a question when I

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV Hazel had cried for me. 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. She had seen my pain that everyone else chose to ignore, and it had broken her.My heart burned in my chest.I could still see her face in my head, the redness of her eyes, the tip of her nose, and the way her lips trembled as she said sorry repeatedly. 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. I wanted her to choose to stay with me, I wanted her to love me, with all my scars and fucked upness.The wat

    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

    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. I started to pull myself up, then gasped, the fire in my veins

    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

    JULIAN STYLES POV "Where is she?" I asked, getting up from my seat as Asher walked in. "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. Five days of her locked up with that maniac, and you tell me to be patient""There is nothing else to be done, Julian. It's Riven Blackwood we are talking about here. Do you think he would make it easy to find him""If he can't be found then I have no choice but to force him out. Tomorrow morning, I'll make

    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
