AUTHOR'S POV [ADLER]He threw the gun to the passenger seat of the car and wiped his hands off on a white napkin before he climbed down.Slammed by the evening breeze carrying the scent of flowers and tropical trees, he gladly inhaled. It was a far cry from gun powders, oil, and decaying flesh.Another vehicle rolling into the compound, headlight flashing bright, caught his attention and had him turned to the gates. Recognizing Priest's car, Adler waited beside his.Priest seemed to have spotted him, and he stopped right at the center of the driveway before stepping down. Before long, a goon had gotten in and drove away.His consigliere began to make his way towards him, his steps light and thumb in his pocket, his crucifix gleamed against the security lights planted outside.Salvatore stopped when they were inches apart. He looked at Adler and nodded, "Who died this time?"Adler chuckled, "Should be asking you that, there's blood on your hands, Literally."Priest looked down at his

"I want information on Lily Ferretti."She shouldn't have given away her feelings so quickly; with the relaxation of the strange man's body posture, he knew she knew what he was speaking about.The red light in the room wasn't enough to make out the expression on his face, even shielding the scar that ran past his eyes. Who was he, and what did he want with Lily?"I reckon if I tell you I don't know her, you won't believe me?" She raised her gaze, pinning it to where she figured his face would be. "What do you want with her?""So you do know her?""Yeah," She sat on the bed, ease In her movement and her curiosity about this man at its peak, "And because I do, I'm wondering how you got to know her real name. She's Spitfire here."He stayed quiet."Because she dominated the pole." there was a certain iciness in her voice, "She doesn't work here anymore.""She does."This stranger was holding back everything he knew. He wasn't just wealthy and pretty if he also wanted information on Lily

SALVATORE.Dark shades weren't the greatest shielder of identity, so he had thrown on a fake mustache; sitting outdoors on a cafe chair, Salvatore dodged the urge to look at his side and catch his reflection on the glass window beside him.Three days ago, Adler had given him the shock of his life, delegating a vital job. Enough time to cement his stand that there was something more important the Boss didn't want to give out.More proof was that the following day, as he packed, Adler had thrown on a baseball cap and slipped into a car.Salvatore had seen it all as he oversaw the parking of his bags into the booth of his car, thought to follow after the Boss, but due to results from past occasions, he knew it was fruitless.Presently, he hitched the newspaper higher. Although he read nothing in it, it was all to keep his mind from the cold infiltrating his dark woolen coat.So, he would have preferred something other than an outdoor service. For god's sake, he knew how cold this place w

LILY'S POV."Seen Rune anywhere?" Kyra asked me from where I stood in front of the window, a beautiful sight of the aggressive beach water washing against its bank before me.But even with that, my eyes weren't on the waters. Instead, they stuck with someone sitting in front of it, knees up to her chest, staring into space as her toes dug into the sand.Eva held onto the purple vase that carried Mum's ashes. We still hadn't talked about how she left me out of decision-making involving Mum's body, and I was still mad about it; seeing her like this made my heart heavy.Poor Eva. Inside, she was still hurting."Lily?" Kyra called; it was the second time she was repeating herself. And unlike her, she didn't sound impatient.The beach house showed another side to her; although we weren't friends or acquaintances, I was happy to have the confidence that I was no longer on her wrong side.Because watching her pound against a punching bag like an animal, uhmm, her good side was the safest plac

KYRA.Her Enemy stepped out of his car, throwing the hoodie cap off his head, the new blonde baby hair coming into view.Kyra watched him from her motorcycle helmet in disgust as he veered around to whistle at a couple of girls waltzing out of the parking lot.Was there ever a time when Rune didn't think with his dick.But still, being in a BDSM club? What the hell was going on here? It never fit with him; was this one of his little secrets? One to which he had to hide from everyone else?She always said Rune loved pain, but she never meant it literally. She'd have suspected that getting on people's nerves got him off.The bouncers at the entrance nodded at him when he passed. They even exchanged some pleasantries. Surprisingly, he was no stranger there.Nice, she pulled off her helmet and placed it on her motorcycle, now to see what helpless sub had the misfortune of having such an annoying brute as her dom.One boot after another, she walked towards the entrance, but, as expected, s

She messed up pretty bad, really bad. For the first time, he was mad, standing in the center of the room, face reddened, and pupils full on her while she tried to dodge the discomfort it sent through her.Although released from the bondage, his left wrist still held the cuff, which dangled from his hands.Sometimes, he flexed his fist like he was ready for a spar, and this time, she was sure prepared to let him beat her the hell up.She looked at his face and tried again, "You need aftercare, Rune.""No shit Sherlock!" he sneered.She sighed, taking in his glare, letting him have the upper hand while she sat down like the petulant child who was told to sit in a corner and think of what she had done.Alright he was walking up to her; he wasn't so disgusted by her actions if he could stand being this close to her, right? She saw the palm in front of her face."Give me the fucking keys." "Oh," she felt beads of sweat form on her forehead, and immediately she began to fumble around for t

[SALVATORE}"Look for survivors!" the goons echoed his orders, but Salvatore knew that with the sight at the entrance, they would meet something more gruesome inside.But still, he watched the soldiers go their way, salvaging corpses to get to the living soldiers.Adler, in front of him, was squatting over a disemboweled corpse, back rigid and face to the sky.Didn't the stink disturb him to be so close? The gashed heads, slit throats, and the pungent smell of open bodies held the picture of a medieval killing spree._'I believe there is a devil....his name is Ruslan.'_Salvatore felt a shiver run up his spine; Sara had known. She knew what she was talking about.Wherever he stepped, he felt he was waddling in blood; it was everywhere, on the walls, the drums that served as a roadblock, all thanks to Adler thinking his new enemy would seek the backdoor out of Campania.As always, he was accurate, except this time, it came at a price, And it proved something; Ruslan had said he was uns

AUTHOR'S POV"You know what he is, yet you bring him close to you," Father Martin exhaled more out of boredom than exasperation. It wasn't that he hadn't heard this before. He listened to it so much the repetition could be akin to a broken record.Whenever the topic arose, his response remained consistent, effortlessly escaping his lips: "He's the type of person for whom Jesus sacrificed, Deacon Armando.""Martin, that boy is bad news." Armando's voice held disdain, disdain so firm it was almost contempt, "I would not have said anything if he were still fifteen, but now...""But now?" Father Martin raised a brow."Now he's old enough to make those choices, old enough to protect his virtues and even die on them," Martin said nothing, scribbling reports on a paper, out of touch with reality and a head filled with thoughts. Armando was right in his way, Depending on how he looked at it.Considering he wasn't here that day twelve years ago when the boy snuck into the church, sitting in
