[RUNE.]"Excuse me, ladies," he announced after Adler had disconnected. The smile on his face slowly waned when his eyes met Kyra, standing some distance away from him. He sighed, skipping breaths each time he saw her had to stop."No, thank you," he said, pushing the cup when the rim was placed to his lips. He still never thought there'd be a day he'd reject a filled glass, but now he was doing it. A mistake wasn't a mistake if he didn't learn his lesson.Kyra was avoiding him, refusing to look in his direction, no matter the noises he made. She regretted it—regretted that she let the lowest of all scum see her in her vulnerability.He'd have to take it and face it; it was a one-time thing, one that, if anyone found out, would be his death.But then, in a way, he was hurt. Yeah, his pride was. She didn't come for seconds; instead, it was almost as if he didn't exist to her anymore.Did anyone else see it? He looked from her to Adler; both were almost alike behaviorally. They could

[EVA]She noticed Salvatore approaching from the corner of her eye. Eva let a smirk escape her lips as she took one last look at Victor and his troops.HE JUST MESSED WITH THE WRONG SISTER.A FEW MINUTES EARLIEROf course, she loved parties, especially parties like this, for she wasn't grown up enough to partake in them like Lily had before their dad died, but given the opportunity on a silver platter, she sure as hell was about to make the most of it.She exuded femininity, standing tall with a raised chin while watching the grand carnival in the form of an engagement, dressed in a soft, long dress of mild ivory and her idea of the perfect makeup. For an engagement, who would go to such lengths? All furniture, glass, and porcelain fixtures exuded an opulent aura.In the glaring lights and attention, she felt like Cinderella. What was left? The clock striking twelve? Haha, jokes on them; she lived in the party. A short distance up the steps, beneath the roof of a don who, she would h

LILY’S POV“....THINK OF THE BAD THING YOU HATE ABOUT THEM”With my shoes in each of my hands, I walked lifelessly up to my room, the noise from the hall becoming fainter the further I went. I wished the hurt would fade the same way the music did.At least the idiotic tears had ceased; I should be feeling embarrassed Rune had seen me in my anguish, and although he didn't take it seriously, making his usual jokes and giving me half-baked advice, it was evident in his countenance that he was solidly behind me.According to his advice, I was to find out the behavioral traits I detested about Adler, and somehow, that was supposed to help me get over the hurt ripping across my chest. The second piece of advice, ‘don't fuck them,’ was too late to unadminister. I wish it had come at least a month earlier.I sighed, rubbing my eyes. I needed the zzz’s more than ever, and hopefully, it was going to be easier to catch them now that I was both mentally and emotionally tired.I raised my face to

The detonation was deafening, so deafening that my ears rang, goosebumps grew on my arms, and my throat went drier with each quickening thud of my heartbeat.I let the gun fall from my hands, stepping away from it and the body frame that held the disbelief on his face.Adler studied the hole I had made in his room's ceiling, then returned his eyes to me. “Note taken,” he said, picking the gun off the floor. “How did it go off?” He was seriously pondering, and for a moment, he forgot he wasn't alone. But when he looked at me, he had his brows knitted. “Does everything work with you around?”My feet were still stuck to the floor; I couldn't remember a pistol being this loud. It wouldn't be surprising if I had acquired an ear bleed.The pounding on his door had me snapping out of my trance. "Boss, are you okay?” "Si,” Adler responded, "you can leave the door.”I wish my hands would stop shaking. In the process of scaring him, I added another trauma to the pile already existing.Adler dr

ADLERCall him a pervert, but since he had seen her step into the hall, a part of his brain insisted on stubbornly filling his head with pictures of her naked under his room's illumination. Then, trapping her under him until she was too exhausted to sneak out of his room.Wasn't that why he had changed his doors and the lock? Could one even call it a lock anymore? He felt the card poking his legs in the pocket; he felt a pang of guilt, but then it was funny watching her search desperately for the knob.And watching her lips move, pushing him to fury with a challenge? All he had wanted to do was kiss them shut. Without the slightest knowledge, she did know how to push his buttons.But now that he had where he wanted, he gave a crooked smile; he had an idea who would be having the last laugh.She obediently stepped out of her gown, standing before him in only red lacy pants, like sin itself, tempting his demons to come into play. Seven years had passed, and it showed on her; she was n

LILY’S POV..“I wish you would stay."“But I am here.”He encircled me tightly with his arms, bringing me closer and inhaling the aroma of my recently shampooed hair. "Forever, not just tonight."***Keeping to his promises, he had loved me all night, marking me with hickeys and kisses, and even after that, after I had thrown on his shirt that reached the middle of my thighs and laid down beside him, he still managed to play with my hair until I fell asleep.I woke up to find that morning had crept on me, and the side of his bed was empty but still warm.But the alarm hit.I was still in his room.Shucks, I was so dead. Walking out of his room accompanied by stares and whispers wasn't how I had hoped to start a new week.Quickly standing up from the bed, relishing the delicious ache coursing through my body, I hurried to my clothes, dismissing the idea of putting them on. Showing up still in my party dress would raise as much of a question as to why I was in his shirt.I retied my hai

SARAThe only light in the warm, dark room came from the amber sparks in the fireplace, which occasionally let her see the door closed since she was thrown into this room.The death in the air grew stronger daily, filling her stomach and obstructing her airway.That she was not betraying Vladlet, that she meant no harm, would never be believed. All she had been interested in was that other human whose intentions were as pure as the expression on his face.He claimed to be called Priest, though he wasn't truly one. His intention was to assist her in escaping from Vladlet. Moreover, he wanted to maintain contact with her and asked to meet again.The light brown eyes were welcoming; they held no judgment or desire to possess her. He also respected her decision, addressed her as ma'am, and offered to pay without expecting anything.Her only fear was the prospect of never seeing him again, as she knew that once Vladlet entered the room, her life was essentially over.She could already env

LILY'S POVI was completely unaware of the extent of the danger I was in, despite the car exploding and the intense car chase that led me to hide inside a booth. I hesitated to accept that it was all centered around me.Upon the arrival of Luciano, it became clear that I wasn't Ruslan's primary target; Adler was. However, I realized that I was the key to reaching Adler. In order to involve him in Ruslan's power play, I had to go.I shuddered for the hundredth time in the space of hours. The pain sting on my cuticles reminding me that old habits die hard.I looked up at Adler to find him still glaring at Luciano. The pile of photos he had quickly snatched from the table when he walked in all fired up and ready to lurch was now in Salvatore's right hand."The fuck you doing showing her this?!" I had jumped to Luciano's aid, standing between my friend and the furious Don. "I made him do it; he didn't want to."I couldn't describe Adler as composed, and while I initially appreciated the
