SEQUEL - CANNOT BE READ AS A STANDALONE Three years ago, he vanished - no goodbye, no explanation. Just silence. Now seventeen, Cecelia Bonetti has learned to live with that silence. She's grown into her strength, anchored by the fierce love of her brothers and the pieces of herself she's slowly put back together. But then - on the first day of senior year - he walks in. Zaiden Black. Only this isn't the boy she once knew. This is someone else entirely. Six-foot-four. Broad. Scarred. His eyes are colder now, carved from something darker. His presence is unignorable, yet he pretends she doesn't exist. He vowed to keep his distance. To stay cold. Unreachable. But Cecelia was never just a memory. And the more he tries to turn away, the more something fierce and protective stirs beneath the armor he's built. He thought walking away would be the hardest part. He was wrong.

Kaya Emerson has spent her entire life being made to feel like she's too much, too big, too emotional, too unlovable. Raised in a house of cruelty where her stepmother's venom runs deeper than blood, Kaya's only goal is to survive the day, shrink herself, and never be seen. Until she witnesses a man being murdered. And the killer turns to look at her. Cold. Dangerous. Beautiful in a way the devil himself would envy. 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙨 𝙍𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙤 - mafia king, calculated killer, a man who turns bloodshed into an art. She runs. But he hunts. And when he finds her... he doesn't kill her. He keeps her. "You think I'll let you walk away, tesero? After you saw me at my worst? No. Now I need you to see me at my darkest... and still beg for more." Locked in his penthouse with secrets, diamonds, and demons, Kaya finds herself fighting not just for her freedom, but for her sanity. Because the man who should terrify her makes her feel seen. Wanted. Desired. Protected. Worshipped. Even as he drags her deeper into a world of violence and obsession. "I'll ruin you for anyone else, Kaya. They'll look at you, and you'll still be dripping with my name." He's possessive. Ruthless. Addicted to her curves. She's broken, insecure, and dangerously close to falling for her captor. And the scariest part? She's starting to like the way it feels to be his.

She's his little sister's best friend-off-limits, infuriating, always too loud in his space. He's her worst nightmare-arrogant, painfully hot, and impossible to ignore. They were raised side by side but never saw eye to eye. Until one reckless night breaks the rules-and her back. What started as verbal jabs and slammed doors becomes breathless nights, hidden bruises, and tension so thick it snaps with a single glance. She tells herself it's just sex. He tells himself she's just a habit. But secrets unravel, families clash, and past wounds come back sharper than ever. Now they're tethered. By lust, by history, by something neither of them has the guts to name. And when the hate burns out... all that's left is want. But love was never part of the plan. And neither of them knows how to let go. "You're the worst decision I ever made. And the only one I want to keep making."

What would you do if you found out your husband of eighteen years was having an affair? No, please. Don't answer now. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬. Eighteen years, not eighteen days. We have a history. A family. There's a long road between suspicion, footprints left in the sand, and the absolutely devastating truth that life as you know it has ended. I saw it all coming. Felt it in my bones. Late nights at work. Sleeping at the office. I felt the distance - how his eyes couldn't hold my stare anymore. Secretive texts late at night. Lipstick stains where they didn't belong. Unfamiliar scents on a man who should always smell like him and me. 𝘏𝘪𝘮 & 𝘮𝘦. But when a third person enters your marriage... There's nothing left anymore.

Running from hell is hard - especially when the devil you married refuses to let you go. To the world, my husband is perfection. CEO. Philanthropist. Gentleman. To me, he's the monster who taught me that love can burn worse than fire. He always put everything else first - his company, his ambition, even her. I was never enough. So I left. But he's not the kind of man who accepts endings. Now he wants to make things right, to atone for the years he destroyed me. Only this time, his enemies have followed him home - and the man I once loved has become a stranger wearing his face. Because maybe he was never mine to begin with. Maybe I was only ever his penance.
