His lips brushed my palm and every time his hot breath hit my skin, it set my nerves on fire. “What the—” I whispered, breathless. And then, with deliberate slowness, Sevastian slipped my ring finger into his mouth. My eyes widened in disbelief, my heart hammering against my chest. His teeth scraped my skin before sinking into the flesh, just enough to make me twitch from the sharp pain. I gasped, both from the sting and the bite I got from him. My entire body tensed as he bit down harder, marking me not with ink or metal, but with flesh and teeth. When he finally released my hand, my skin throbbed, the faint mark of his bite was visible against my finger. I cradled my hand, staring in disbelief at the mark he left behind. “This,” Sevastian murmured, his voice low and sharp. “Is my mark and ring.” His tone carried an edge, dangerous yet confident, as if the words were meant to bind me. “The symbol that you are no longer Celestina Valeztina-Savelli.” His lips ghosted over my skin, and my chest tightened as he whispered the next words. “...but Celestina Valeztina-Ortega.” His next words were a soft snarl, dripping with ruthless certainty. “My property, my wife.” He added, while locking his gaze on me. There was no hesitation in his eyes, no flicker of remorse, only that same ruthless determination that chilled me to my core. I tried to pull my hand back, but he didn’t let go. "You’re insane," I whispered, my voice barely audible, trembling despite my best efforts not to show it. “Yes, I’m insane,” he replied with a hint of mischief in his voice, “And I can drive you crazy…” He paused, letting the tension hang in the air.

Yet, even now, even after the searing lash of leather against her skin, she didn’t cry out. Her silence was maddening and her stubbornness infuriated me beyond reason.I tightened my grip on the belt, the leather creaking under the strain of my clenched fist. The sight of her, kneeling there getting bruised yet so stubborn, ignited the fire inside me. Every strike I made was met with the same infuriating obstinacy, as if she were daring me to break her.I scoffed. She would rather endure my wrath than submit and beg for my mercy, huh?I made another lash, this time across the curve of her backside. Her breath hitched, but she bit her lip, trapping the pain behind clenched teeth. My chest heaved with the force of my rage, the storm of emotions threatening to consume me. How could she choose this? How could she willingly endure my fury, my punishment,

CELESTINAI watched Sevastian return to the couch, his movements deliberate and unhurried. When he reached it, he sank into the plush leather, his arms stretching out along the top of the couch in a posture of effortless command.He crossed one leg over the other, his gaze bearing down on me cold, detached, and utterly unreadable."Crawl to me," he commanded like a fucking sort of king.A surge of reluctance flared within me. I glared at him, as my body tense with resistance. But the glint of the gun in his hand, aimed steadily in my direction.And because of that, I erased any thought of rebelling in his commandSwallowing my pride, I lowered myself onto my hands and knees, the hard floor pressing painfully against my palms.Each movement was a struggle, my muscles protesting as I inched forward, the weight of humiliation bearing down on me.Sevastian watched me in silence, his expression inscrutable, as I made my way toward him.The room seemed to stretch endlessly, the distance bet
CELESTINAAs Sevastian turned his back and returned to the couch, I noticed a glint of metal on the table before me, a knife seemingly within reach. My heart raced as I contemplated seizing it, a desperate bid for control in this perilous situation.Summoning my resolve, I inched my hand toward the blade, my fingers trembling as I reached it. Just as I was about to grasp it, a deafening gunshot shattered the tense silence.The bullet struck the knife, sending it clattering across the floor, well beyond my reach.Startled, I snapped my gaze to Sevastian.He was now seated on the couch, one leg casually crossed over the other.In one hand, he held a revolver, its barrel still smoking; in the other, a glass of whiskey.His cold, unyielding eyes bore into mine, a chilling reminder of the man I was dealing with."Interesting," he drawled, his voice laced with mockery."You hesitate to kill Donovan, yet you don't think twice about attempting to kill your own husband."His words dripped wit
CELESTINAI must have drifted off without realizing it. The noise outside jolted me awake. Rubbing my eyes, I hurried out of the room. Agent Rivera's face was tense, and my friends Cleo, Marge, and Lilith were anxiously preparing to leave."What's happening?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Lilith glanced at me, her expression grim. "The Ortega group is on their way. Somehow, they've discovered our location. We need to move, now."Confusion and fear twisted inside me. How could they have found us? Unless... Without wasting a moment, I inspected my clothes. There, hidden at the back, was a tiny tracking device. I cursed under my breath."Sevastian," I muttered, anger boiling within me. "He must have planted this on me."Agent Rivera's jaw tightened. "We need to evacuate immediately.""No," I said firmly. "Have your men leave. You and my friends should stay.""That's out of the question," Agent Rivera replied."Please," I insisted. "If they find us all here, none of us will b
CELESTINA I waited until I heard the heavy thud of Sevastian’s footsteps fade away as he stormed out of the apartment. A chill ran through me, but I refused to let myself break. I couldn’t afford to. Not now, that I must protect someone so important to me. The moment I was certain he was gone, I stumbled to my laptop, my hands trembling as I sat down at the desk. My body felt weak, but my mind was racing. I had to act fast. I couldn’t let Sevastian go through with this. I can’t allow Sevastian to kill Leo’s father, Donovan hasn't seen his son neither my twin sister, Velaria. I opened a new message, quickly typing in my friends' names: Lilith, Marge, and Cleo.“I need you to do everything you can to save Donovan,” I typed as quickly as my fingers would allow, my anxiety building with every word. “If possible, hide him. He can't die. Leo and Velaria need him.”I paused for a second, the weight of my words sinking in. I had never asked them for something this dangerous, but it was
SEVASTIANThe moment my hand brushed against her scar, something inside of me froze. It wasn’t just her skin beneath my touch, it was the truth that Donovan’s words are fucking right. A cold, nauseating feeling spread through me, and I felt as if the ground beneath my feet had suddenly disappeared.The scar, it was small, almost invisible to anyone who wasn’t looking for it, but it felt like a fucking betrayal.I wasn’t prepared for it. It wasn’t just the mark itself, but the realization that the woman Donovan had been searching for, the woman whose past had been tangled with his, was right in front of me, and that is my wife, Celestina. The thought of it made my blood boil, my fists tightening. My chest constricted with the fury that burned through me. This woman, this woman I had married, had a past one that I hadn’t even known about until this moment.I was furious. And I didn’t know if I was more angry at her or at myself for not knowing.I glared down at her. “So this is what
CELESTINAThe moment Sevastian leaned closer, I could feel the heat radiating off his body, his presence suffocating me with each passing second. His lips were just inches away, taunting me with their closeness, daring me to make the first move. But I wasn’t about to let him win and do whatever he wanted. I was angry.Angry that he thought he could just overpower me, angry that he thought I’d simply fall into his control. But then again, what was I supposed to do? Let him win without a fight? I wasn’t that weak.So, I gave him what he wanted.I leaned in, just a fraction, making sure he could feel the tension in the air between us. My lips brushed against his, a light touch at first, testing the soft skins on his lips. But as soon as our mouths met, I felt a jolt of heat rush through me. I could feel him smirk against my lips, knowing exactly what I was doing.For a moment, I held back. My mind screamed at me to stop. But my body betrayed me. His kiss deepened, and I couldn’t r
SEVASTIANI couldn’t help but chuckle as I watched Celestina bolt for the door. Her movements were quick, but not quick enough. Just as her fingers grazed the doorknob, I was already there. With one smooth motion, I slammed the door shut and pinned her against it.Her breath hitched, her wide eyes darting up to meet mine. I drew closer, my smirk growing with every second I held her gaze, savoring the mix of fire and doubt swirling in her eyes. She looked like she wanted to run, but there was nowhere to go. Of course, after what she did to me? Did she really think that she could run away again? Dream on, my dear. Because I will make sure that your fucking legs will be useless. “Where do you think you’re going, little fox?” I murmured, my voice low and taunting. “You really thought you could play your games and just waltz out the door? Oh dear, not tonight, my dear wife.” I pressed closer, trapping her completely. “Tonight, I’m going to make sure you’ll be too sore to even think ab
CELESTINAThe cold edge of my knife rested against Sevastian Ortega’s throat, hanging like a sharp edge enough to draw blood. His dark, soulless eyes stared down at me with the kind of contempt that made my skin crawl. But I didn’t flinch, I couldn’t, not in front of a man like him. He’s a tyrant wrapped in charm, a devil in diguised. If I showed even the slightest hint of weakness, I knew he would shatter me into pieces. “What the hell are you plotting?” I demanded, my voice sharp and steady despite the knot tightening in my gut. Sevastian didn’t answer right away. He just stood in front of me calmly, as if the knife at his neck was nothing more than a toy that cannot threaten his life. I hate it. I hate how composed he is while I am infuriating with rage. His dark brown eyes bore through me, making a hole in the depths of my soul.I saw his tongue poke his cheek before he spoke. “Marriage.” His deep baritone voice suddenly echoed to my ears. I blinked. For a second, I t...
