What do you say, boys? Want to play with me?
Yours always,
Bella xx
For a second, I can’t move. My pulse thrashes in my throat.
She found out, and instead of running, she turned it into a war.
I’ve never loved her more.
“I wonder what she’s planned,” Rowan says, rubbing his hands together, grinning like this is Christmas morning.
I tear open my envelope that Conan gave me. The same Decadence logo we’ve used for years stares back at me. A contract, an answer to our future.
Every clause is a mirror to our games, but this time, she’s the one writing the rules.
A world where Bella is queen? It’s quite possible we won’t survive.
I skim the page, shaking my head, caught somewhere between pride and panic.
“She’s good,” I mutter.
“We’re fucked,” Rowan replies.
I look toward the next door, the one that leads to her, and can’t help the smile that creeps across my face.
Bella King, you brilliant, beautiful menace.
If this is her challenge, then fine. I’ll play.
Because no matter how many games she throws at us, I already know how mine ends.
With her name on my lips and a ring in my hand.

My breath catches in my throat as I unlock the second door.
And there she is.
An angel in white, looking so goddamn beautiful I’m ready to fall to my knees and beg her to marry me.
“Welcome to the scream room.” She grins, motioning for us to come in.
“As long as it’s you making the noise,” I wink.
Reggie shuts the door behind us.
There’s one chair in the middle with restraints on the arms like a throne.
Two more chairs face it from opposite corners.
“Please, take a seat.” Bella gestures toward them.
