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

HAZEL STYLES POV "This space suits you," Ethan said as he looked around the office, then he walked toward the floor to the ceiling windows that overlooked the city, his eyes lighting up as he took in the scenery in front of him. "It's such a beautiful view too"I nodded, watching him and wondering why he was there. Did Riven send him? My heart drummed hard in my chest. It had been beating that way since the moment my Assistant told me that BlACKWOOD had fixed an appointment to see me. I had initially thought it was Riven, but it turned out to be Ethan Blackwood.If Ethan was here instead of Riven, then it couldn't be for something positive. Was he here to give me Riven's farewell message, or was he here to tell me to stay away from Riven and never show my face since he was engaged now?I gripped the edge of my seat, my throat moving as I waited for him to say something."How do you get any work done with such a view, huh?" he asked as he turned to face me. "I always have my blinds

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV What was going through Hazel's mind right now? My hands flexed on the wheels, my gaze fixed on the winding road in front of me.We'd agreed to start over before the whole shit went down and then father had gone to announce that I was engaged.How did she take the news? Did she think I betrayed her? I was sure Julian would have filled her in about what happened. He'd paint me as the villain too.Did Hazel believe him? I'd watched her for the past few days—from afar—and noticed that she looked alright, better than alright if I was being honest.She was taking her life back and handling everything like a pro, so did that mean that she'd moved on from me already.I couldn't let that happen. Not After making so much progress."Are you going to take me back, little rabbit, or are we going to play the cat and mouse game we always do."I pulled up at the front of the company, parked my car, and came out of it, my eyes squinting because of the glare of the sun.I started

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "Haz—" I started to call her name, but she looked away, increased her pace, and got into her car; then she turned on the ignition, pulled out of the parking lot, and drove past me, her gaze fixed on the road. She didn't so much as glance in my direction no matter how hard I willed it. Roaring sounds filled my ears as I watched her car disappear out of sight, a wave of dread filling up my chest and making it difficult to breathe."Riven? Are you alright" Keira asked, her voice shattering through the terror that had me in its chokehold.My gaze met hers, and a flicker of fear crossed her face, but she didn't let go of my hand. "What's wrong? You look a bit off."I pushed her back and she gaped at me, her brows furrowing."Riven?""What are you doing here, Keira"She snorted, then crossed her arm. "What kind of question is that? I came here to see you. You've been avoiding me since the night of the conference. We are engaged now, Riven, don't you think we should spe

HAZEL STYLES POV "Hazel, don't you think you've chopped that cabbage enough." Lena's loud voice startled me, and I flinched. A sharp pain bloomed on the tip of my finger as my head whipped in her direction."Oh my goodness, you got cut," she said, rushing toward me, but I raised my hand to stop her from getting closer."Don't worry, It's just a small cut," I choked out, then took a deep breath to settle my trembling. My gaze dropped to the cabbages that had been chopped into tiny pieces. That hadn't been what I was going for but I must have spaced out. "I ruined the cabbages." I dropped the knife—I literally threw it—and watched it clatter to the floor."Hey," Lena exclaimed. "You're going to hurt yourself, Hazel"I stepped away from the counter and took off my apron. "I think I'd much prefer that to the way I am feeling now" I let out in frustration and then slammed the apron on the stool much harder than was necessary."Is this because of Julian's disappearance?" Lena asked as she

HAZEL STYLES POV I was frozen. I knew I should be screaming and running to save my life, but my legs refused to move. How the hell did he get in here? What happened to all the alarm systems that had been put in place, and where were the night guards that patrolled the house?He moved towards me with predatory grace, each step he took a drumbeat against my racing heart.He lifted his hand to his lips, the black and white mask he wore, ominous.He was telling me not to make a sound.I nodded once, my lungs closing up. It was too late to scream anyway and defying his order was only going to lead to more problems. Lena was probably asleep right now so that meant she was safe in her room. If I shouted and she came down...I didn't want to imagine what could happen.My heavy breathing filled the space as he stopped to regard me quietly, his head cocking to the side as if he was contemplating something. What was he going to do? When was he going to lunge for me?I couldn't look away, but In

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.

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.

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
