His voice was a low, velvety murmur, laced with a dangerous intensity as he leaned closer, his piercing gaze locking onto hers. "You don't understand, do you?" he began, his tone equal parts menace and longing. "You're not just a woman to me, Rose. You're the woman-the only one who's ever mattered. I want to own every part of you, body and soul. To love you so deeply, so fiercely, that there's no room left in this world for anyone else." He exhaled slowly, his lips curling into a dark smile. "You're my beauty, Rose. The light I'll protect with my darkness. And if it means becoming the beast to keep you, so be it. I'll claim you as mine in every way that matters, because losing you? That's not an option. Not now, not ever." Trigger Warning : Toxic , force , madness , manipulation , controlling Starting : Jan 19 , 2025 End : Mar 31 , 2025

My heart hammered against my chest as I saw who was standing infront of me. I thought I had enough time to flee, guess not. I looked behind his back intending to run through the door, away from his heated gaze. "Don't you dare." His voice still made me cower in submission, even after all these days. "I won't tell what happened between us to anyone, sir. Please, let me go." "Never. I don't fucking care even if the whole world knows about us." There was that stubborn, harsh edge in his tone that ended any protest before it could rise in my throat. I had to get out of here before he did something I would regret. "I told you to wait until I came back didn't I?" Yes, he did, but that was the only chance I had to run away from his shackles and I wasn't no fool to not take that chance. Even if I was regretting it now. "Nothing can happen-" "Strip." His command made my reasoning with him pause. "Wh-what?" I didn't mean to stutter, but I was also one second away from fainting on the velvety carpet. "You know it won't take me a second to tear that pretty dress off of your body, so don't make me come there." I knew he could tear it off without even getting one hair out of place. As it wouldn't be the first time he would be doing so. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ [18+] Diamonds always stay hidden. It is us who have to find them.

"Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!"

I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning!

❝You've broken me, Caleb. You've destroyed me.❞ She said quietly, her teeth clenched as she gazed up at me. ❝D-don't say that. Please I-❞ ❝Just let go of me!❞ Aria cried out. My eyes darkened as she started to struggle out of my grip but I pressed her further against the wall and stepped even closer to her. I let go of one of her wrists and grabbed her jaw as she pressed her now free hand against my chest to push me away. ❝Never.❞ I whispered. ❝I will never let you leave me, Aria. I am going to get you back one way or another. You're mine and only mine. Remember that.❞ And then I let her go. But this would be the only ever time. The only ever time. *Most of this book is in Aria's P.O.V. Caleb has very few. Warning: contains mature themes and some sexual content.

"She is a bare diamond found in a sea of pointless extravagance." Two hearts spoke with such vehemence; two minds clamored. For you see, what our hearts say is a thousand times louder than that of our mind's scream. "Hush darling; you're mine now." A King. A Servant. "Shall I make not my claim on you, I might brand myself an utter fool for letting you go." Shall their hearts intertwine as one sweet melody, shall their minds sing in sweet, sweet symphony; everything, every mayhem and havoc that blocks their everlasting harmony shall dissolve into a cloud of dust and vanish forever. Never to be seen. Never to be felt. For love conquers all. For their sweet, sweet melody shall prevail until the end of time. "My darling, you are my bare diamond found in a sea of pointless extravagance." Indeed; love truly conquers all.
