I stared at her message on the screen.

See you in class tomorrow, Rian.

She knew. Not suspected or guessed. She fucking knew.

I sat completely still in my chair and pressed my thumb hard into the scar on my left hand until the skin split and stung.

I thought I still had weeks left to mess with her, to watch her slowly unravel without her realizing who was pulling the strings. But she’d moved first. Or maybe she was bluffing, trying to force my hand.

Which one is it, Dri? Bluf

  • His Ruin   Chapter 51

    Drisana I left the asylum and went straight to the airport. I didn’t return to the hotel. My suitcase was still there. So was my phone. My passport was the only thing I had with me because I’d tucked it into my handbag before leaving the hotel that morning. Everything else, I left behind without thinking. The flight back to Chicago felt longer than the one to Mexico. I barely noticed the hours passing. Sloane’s voice refused to leave my head. He paid me. He paid me to sleep with Carter. I shut my eyes. No. Carter had always been a cheater. That wasn’t Armani’s fault. And Sloane was sick. She wasn’t thinking clearly. People in her condition mixed reality with delusion all the time. That had to be it. It had to… Didn’t it? I stared out of the airplane window. Then another thought crept in. The hospital. The portraits. The donations. The way every employee knew my married name before I’d introduced myself. The director thanked Armani. How many other things didn’t I

    DrisanaHer lips curled.She burst into laughter. It started as a quiet chuckle. Another followed. Then it became loud and uncontrollable. Within seconds, she threw her head back, laughing so hard her shoulders shook. She couldn’t seem to stop. Tears gathered in the corners of her eyes as the laughter spilled out of her in uneven, breathless bursts.She laughed until she doubled over in her chair, clutching her stomach as if I’d just told the funniest joke she’d ever heard.My stomach tightened into a cold, hard knot. This wasn’t amusing. It was something else entirely.“Oh…” She clapped her hands together with a sharp crack that made me flinch. “There she is. My best friend.”Her gaze dragged over me slowly, from the elegant coat to the diamond weighing down my finger.“You look different.” She tilted her head, studying me like a specimen. A slow grin split her face. “No… you look prettier. Marriage suits you, Mrs. Rossi.”“Sloane,” I whispered, throat already closing. She ignored me

    A few seconds later, he hung up. The heavy iron gates began to slide open.“I thought appointments were required.”“They are.” He stepped aside respectfully. “But not for you, Mrs. Rossi.”“They’re expecting you.” He simply gestured toward the driveway.I hadn’t told anyone I was coming. So who exactly was expecting me? I didn’t move. The guard seemed to notice my hesitation.“Is… something wrong, Mrs. Rossi?”“…No.”It was a lie. Everything was wrong. I forced my feet to move, walking through the gates one careful step at a time. The driveway curved through well-kept gardens before stopping in front of the main building.This wasn’t what I’d expected. The place was peaceful. Flower beds lined the walkways. Patients strolled through the gardens with nurses nearby. Some sat beneath the trees reading. Others simply enjoyed the afternoon sun. There were no screams. No chaos. Nothing like the horror stories people usually associated with psychiatric hospitals.The front doors opened befor

    Morning came far too quickly. I zipped my suitcase shut and took one last look around the bedroom. Three days. That was all this trip was supposed to be. At least that was what everyone else believed.I carried my suitcase downstairs where Armani was already waiting. He looked up from his coffee the moment he heard my footsteps.“Ready?”“As I’ll ever be.”He took the suitcase from my hand before I could protest. I watched him walk ahead of me with the suitcase in one hand. A few months ago, I would’ve rolled my eyes and called him overbearing but today, things are different. By the time I reached the car, he’d already placed my suitcase in the trunk and opened the passenger door for me with an exaggerated gesture.“Your carriage awaits.”I laughed under my breath before getting in. *The drive to the private airfield was quiet. Neither of us felt the need to fill every silence anymore. When the jet came into view, Armani stopped beside me.“I’ll miss you.”The confession was so sim

  • His Ruin   Chapter 47

    Armani The warehouse smelled of oil, metal, and dust. Exactly the way it always did after a shipment arrived.Wooden crates were stacked neatly across the concrete floor while my men moved back and forth, checking inventory against the manifests.The moment I walked in, conversations stopped. Jax wasn’t here today. Which meant… neither was I supposed to be.One of the men straightened immediately.“Boss.”The others followed. I acknowledged them with a nod.“Keep working.”The warehouse came back to life.I walked past the crates, pulling one open myself. Inside were vacuum-sealed packages arranged exactly the way I’d expected. I inspected another crate. Then another. Nothing out of place.Good.I’d rather spend a day confirming everything myself than spend weeks fixing someone else’s mistake.Hours passed.Numbers. Routes. Storage. Distribution. Normally, this was the kind of work I enjoyed.But today, my concentration kept slipping. Every few minutes, my thoughts wandered somewhere

    Drisana The room felt strangely quiet after he left.I stood there for another few seconds, my fingers unconsciously touching the spot on my forehead where he’d kissed me.“…Idiot.”I wasn’t sure if I meant him… or myself.I finished the rest of my breakfast in silence, though I couldn’t taste much of it. My mind kept replaying the last twenty-four hours.“…Get a grip.”I reached for my coffee, hoping it would distract me.*About half an hour later, I called the chauffeur. He arrived almost immediately.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Rossi.”“Good afternoon.”He opened the rear door for me. I settled into the back seat and looked out the window as we pulled away from the hotel.Chicago drifted past in a blur.For once, my thoughts weren’t on work. They kept returning to the same man.To Armani.I rested my head against the window. It was strange. A few months ago, sitting beside him in a car felt awkward.Every conversation felt forced. Every silence felt heavier. Now, the silence wasn’t unc

    DRISANA He was already smirking when our eyes met. Chills ran down my spine. “Mr Stalker?” I didn’t mean to say it, but that was the first thing that came out of my mouth. The smirk vanished as soon as I turned to face him. “W—What? I wasn’t stalking—” he began. “How do you know about th

    ARMANI “Will you be my boyfriend?” I stared at her. If I said that didn’t catch me off guard I’d be lying. It was so sudden. There she goes again. Amusing me without doing too much. She stared back with her chin up like whatever she had just asked was completely normal. The courage of this w

    DRISANA Carter was calling again. I watched his name light up my screen and let it go dark without touching it. Seventeen missed calls since last night. I had lain in the dark with my phone face up on the pillow, staring at that unanswered text until the light outside my window changed color

  • His Ruin   Chapter 2

    ARMANI *Who are you?* Eight months and she picks tonight to ask. Not a random Tuesday. Not after one of those late conversations where something almost real slipped through before one of us pulled it back. Tonight. When her fiancé had brutally thrust inside her best friend in doggy style and h
