Donovan tumed to Giselle with a burning glace, his voice cold and cutting. “But Zachary … he’s the one line you must never cross. If you dare to go against my warning and mess with him, I’ll make your life a living hell. You have no idea what I’m capable of ”
Giselle shuddered slightly. His words felt like knives slicing straight into her chest, sharper than anything she had ever heard. For the first time in her life, genuine pain flickered in her eyes as she glared at him with fury.
Then, without warning, she slapped him hard across the face.
The sharp sting spread across Donovan’s cheek. He froze, caught off guard, momentarily speechless.
“I don’t need you to introduce me to anyone!iselle laughed bitterly, her voice trembling with rage. “Countless men are dying to have me. But what I want….is the Kanes!
She locked eyes with him, revealing the venomous truth behind her schemes. “To be honest, Donovan, I plan to seduce Zachary and then throw him away.
“I want him to suffer. I want him to know what heartbreak feels like. I’ll tear him apart, not because I care about him, but because I can’t destroy you directly. I’ll in the person you care about most instead.”
Before she could finish, Donovan snapped.
Ina flash, bis hand shot out and gripped her throat tightly. His furious eyes bored into her, and the strength in his grasp made her feel like her neck could snap at
any moment.
“Youvile woman…” he growled through clenched teeth. “If you truly dare to do that, I’ll kill you right here. I’ll erase you from this world without a second thought.
The room tell into heavy silence. He glared at her, but slowly, luscold gaze grew distant, unfocused. His body burned uncomfortably, heat crawling under his skin. “Afterall
Il your scheming this is what you wanted, isn’t it?” he muttered darldy, stepping toward her. “You just wanted to end up in my bed.”
Before she could seat, he grabbed her and forced her down agatst the mattress. Let me give you exactly what you asked for.”
She heard the sound of his be unbuckling. Her resistance crumbled, her body betraying her with helpless warmth. She closed her eyes, unable to fight him any longer.
Donovan, still burning with rage, took lier like a wolf starved for far too long as if this was the only way to dominate her, punish her, and prove he’d won. Their bodies tangled in fierce, everludesperation.
