HATE-FUELED SURRENDER

CHAPTER ONE: HATE-FUELED SURRENDER SERENA'S POV“Fuck you,” I gasped, my nails digging into the silk sheets as Caspian thrust into me with force.“You’re already doing that,” he growled, his voice low and rough against my ear. His hips snapped forward harder, faster, hitting that spot deep inside me with every thrust.My eyes rolled back, a broken moan escaping from my throat despite myself. God, I hated him. I fucking hated this man. But my body betrayed me, clenching around his thick length as pleasure coiled tighter and tighter in my belly.Sweat slicked my skin, the sound of our bodies slapping together filling the massive master bedroom of his mansion. His hand gripped my hip hard enough to bruise, holding me exactly where he wanted me. Spread open, claimed, owned.“Mhnn—God, I hate you,” I choked out, even as my walls fluttered around him. The words came out more like a plea than a curse.Caspian’s dark chuckle vibrated against my neck. “Liar.” He reached between us, his thumb

POISONOUS SMILES

CHAPTER TWO: POISONOUS SMILESSERENA'S POV My thumb hovered over my phone as the call ended, but Caspian’s sharp voice cut through the doorway before I could decide what to do next.“Serena. Now.”I tossed the phone on the bed, my heart racing, and quickly threw on the emerald green gown he’d chosen for me. The fabric clung to my curves like a second skin, expensive and suffocating. I pinned my hair up, slapped on a smile that felt like a mask, and met him in the foyer.The ride to the charity gala was silent, and thick with tension. His hand rested possessively on my thigh the entire time, his thumb stroking absentmindedly as if marking territory. Every touch sent unwelcome heat through me, reminding me of how he’d fucked me senseless just hours ago. I hated how my body still ached for more even while my mind screamed for him to go to hell.Flashes of light exploded the moment we stepped out of the black car. I plastered on the perfect wife smile, leaning into Caspian’s side like t

VEILED OBSESSIONS

CHAPTER THREE: VEILED OBSESSIONSCASPIAN'S POVI couldn’t take my eyes off her.From the edge of the ballroom, I watched Serena navigate the crowd like a woman walking a tightrope. That emerald gown I’d chosen clung to her body. The mark on her neck letting every man in that room she's mine. The same body I’d fucked hard this morning, the one that still bore faint marks from my grip on her hips. She smiled for the guests, her chin high, but I saw the truth beneath the mask. The way her fingers kept brushing her clutch. The way her shoulder was tensed. The way her brown eyes flicked to her phone every few minutes when she thought no one was looking.She was hiding something.I knew it. I also knew she was innocent of stealing those documents. My investigators had confirmed it weeks ago, with financial trails that proved Serena Vale had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. No spy. No traitor. Just a desperate event planner trying to pay her brother’s medical bills.Yet I ha

PRICE OF GRATITUDE

CHAPTER FOUR: PRICE OF GRATITUDESERENA'S POVThe silence in the car was suffocating after Caspian’s warning. His words still burned against my swollen lips as the car pulled up to the mansion. I didn’t answer him then, and I wouldn’t now. Not when every instinct in my body screamed that telling him would only give him more power over me.We stepped inside the grand foyer, the echo of our footsteps is the only sound audible in the house. The gown suddenly felt too tight, too exposing. Caspian’s presence loomed behind me as he locked the door with a soft click that sounded final.“Strip Serena,” he ordered, his voice low and commanding.I froze halfway up the staircase, turning to stare at him. “W…what?”He loosened his tie slowly, his grey eyes darkening as they raked over me. “You heard me, darling wife. Take off the gown. Now.”My heart hammered in my chest. “Caspian—”“The treatment for your brother,” he cut in smoothly, stepping closer until I could smell his cologne mixed with t

FRACTURED TRUTH

CHAPTER FIVE: FRACTURED TRUTHSERENA'S POVThe morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of the bedroom, casting long shadows across the silk sheets that still smelled faintly of Caspian. I woke up sore, my jaw aching from last night and my thighs still tender.I lay there for a long moment, staring at the ceiling, replaying his warning. It had kept me tossing and turning until the early hours. He hadn’t come back last night. Good. I needed the space to breathe without his presence suffocating me, turning my body into a traitor even when my mind knew better.My phone sat on the nightstand like a live grenade. I’d ignored it after he left, too exhausted to face whatever she had sent. But I couldn’t avoid it forever. With a deep breath, I grabbed it and unlocked the screen.The messages were waiting.A: Just check for them. You know what I’m talking about.My stomach dropped. The words were vague, but I knew exactly what they meant. I typed back quickly, fingers shaking.Me: St
