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.

    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

    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 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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    ETHAN BlACKWOOD POV "You shouldn't have pulled a stunt, Keira. You just ended up making yourself Riven's target and don't think he's not going to come for you just because you two used to date"Keira's hands clenched around the drink she was holding. "Shut your fucking mouth, you coward," she gritted out, then downed the shot in her hand, slammed the glass on the table, and screamed like a mad woman, her hand banging against the counter repeatedly."You're going to fucking hurt yourself" I snapped and tried to grab her hand. She shoved at my arm hard, her chest heaving from her outburst."Don't fucking touch me! We had a deal. You were supposed to be on my side but when it came down to it, you couldn't even stand up to your brother, you fucking coward."I was so done with her. "If you stuck to the plan maybe I would have kept to my end of the deal. You were supposed to pretend that we were back together, but what did you do? You let your stupid jealousy get the best of you," I said a

    HAZEL STYLES POV "I'm sorry about tonight. It wasn't supposed to go like that"I turned to face him, my eyes lingering on his face. "I actually expected a little bit of animosity you know. I would have been very worried if everything went too well," I said, meaning it. He grinned, then took my hand and pressed a kiss to it. We walked in silence, the cold air comforting."You looked so hot asking her to leave, you know," he said, meeting my gaze. "I wanted to fucking kiss you""You did kiss me" I reminded him. After Keira had left he'd turned to me and kissed me without a care that his father and Ethan were watching.He grinned. "Well, I want to kiss you again," he said and yanked me close all of a sudden, his hands tangling in my hair.I drew my head back, my eyes widening. "What are you doing?""What do you think" he said, his breath fanning my face, his scent seductive. Ugh, why was it so hard to resist him.I shook my head and pushed at his chest but he didn't budge an inch."Ar

"What are you doing here, Keira?" I asked, and she crossed her arms, her head tilting to the side, the sweet smile on her lips stretching."I came for dinner. Ethan invited me," she said, and my gaze cut to Ethan. Him again? God, everyone was testing my patience these days. It didn't take much for me to spiral out of control; they knew that, so why were they acting out all of a sudden?"Did you invite her, Ethan?"The corner of his mouth twitched. "I mentioned it in passing; I didn't actually think she would come,"Keira rolled her eyes. "Don't be such a coward Ethan. You wanted me here, and that's why you invited me."Father cleared his throat and smiled at her. "Well, we made a feast, so you're welcome to join us since you are already here.

    RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV THREE DAYS LATER "Are you nervous?" I asked as we stood in front of the door of my father's mansion.She glanced up at me, her smile faltering for a moment. "Shouldn't I be? I don't think your father is a big fan"I cupped her chin, my thumb grazing her cheek. I loved the way the simple contact had my heart racing."Well, you're mine, so he has no choice but to be a big fan. Besides anyone that does not like you must have some sort of brain disorder or something, because you're the most lovable person I know"She chuckled, the sound of her happiness making my heart twist. God, she was perfect, and I couldn't help but fall in love with her all over again."That's so reassuring," she said and slowly pulled her face away from my grip. I missed the contact almost instantly. It was hard to be in the same place with her and not touch her. She was like a magnet, always pulling me closer and closer, and no matter how many times I touched her, it never seemed to be enoug
