Darkness swallowed her whole.
Hazel's body hit the cold floor before everything went silent. When her eyes opened again, the world spun — her head pounding, her throat burning. She was lying on a strange bed, the taste of bitter medicine still clinging to her tongue.
Two voices murmured nearby.
Her uncle's… and a man she didn't recognize.
Her chest tightened.
Simon turned when she tried to sit up, smiling like nothing was wrong. "You shouldn't have fought back, Hazel," he said smoothly. "You've made things harder for yourself."
"What… what did you give me?" Her voice trembled.
He walked toward her, kneeling beside the bed. "Something that will make you behave," he said, gripping her chin. "You'll either do as he asks… or your body will shut down from the poison. Don't test me, princess."
He stood, brushing her hair away as though she were a doll. "Be a good girl," he whispered, and left.
The other man — older, greed in his eyes — stepped closer. "Don't be afraid," he said, his tone slick. "Once you're mine, I'll give you everything."
Hazel's pulse spiked. Her skin burned. But fear was stronger. She grabbed the lamp beside her and hurled it at him. It struck his shoulder, glass shattering. He cursed, lunging for her. She ran.
Locked door.
The key on the table.
She darted back, but he grabbed her arm. She twisted, bit his hand, then smashed a vase over his head. He staggered, blood on his temple. Hazel snatched the key, unlocked the door, and bolted.
Her legs trembled. Her vision blurred. And then — she slammed into someone.
A man.
Tall. Broad-shouldered. Cold eyes that could freeze fire.
She staggered back, breathless, and for a reason she couldn't explain… felt safe.
"Please… help me," she gasped.
Behind her, the older man rushed out. "Mr. Liam! She's crazy, I'll handle her—"
Liam's gaze snapped to him, sharp as a knife. "Touch her," he said softly, "and I'll break your fingers."
The corridor stilled. Even the air seemed to bow to his voice.
"M-Mr. Liam—she's—"
"Touch her and I will cut your fingers off—do you hear me? How dare you lay a hand on my woman."
The older man dropped to his knees, trembling. "I— I didn't know she belonged to you… please, I beg you—"
Liam didn't blink. He turned to his lieutenant with a single cold command. "Make sure no one in that family gets an investment from my company. One sentence and they're finished."
The order landed like a verdict. The old man's color drained as Liam's guards closed in; his bodyguards hauled him away before his knees could recover.
Liam's attention snapped back to the bed. Hazel lay there, flushed and unfocused; the drug left her movements slow and detached. Up close, she looked impossibly fragile—and impossibly alive. He could feel the unnatural warmth of her skin even from where he stood.
"Why are you so warm?" she murmured, confusion softening her voice. For a dizzy instant she reached toward him, eyes glassy; it read like a child seeking comfort more than desire. Liam's hand hovered at her shoulder. He realized, with a hard, cold twist in his gut, that she'd been drugged.
"Sir," his assistant stammered, "the room—"
"Get me that key." Liam's tone brooked no argument. "Now."
he couldn't bear it the thought that this woman would sleep with that old man know make him want to kill that bastard he carried her to the bed and drop her on the bed.
