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

KYRA.If history had taught her a thing, it was that anything that had to do with Rune always ended in a disaster.And by history, she meant all her life, right from the day the scrawny boy had stepped out of the godfather's ride, mouth dropping in awe as he took in the manor, unsure if to make a move or continue to trail mud on the floor.Even then, he was severely in need of a haircut and a bath, which had been the beginning of their lifelong conflict, for she had made the mistake of pinching her nose when he walked past her.Okay, to be truthful, she did not only pinch her nose."Hola senorita, estaba esperando…" He wasn't done speaking when a seven-year-old her had pinched her nose and hollered, "What's that smell?"In her defense, she was a young, spoiled brat who still felt the world revolved around her.Rune had taken it personally. One thing led to another, and they became die-hard enemies whose only interaction was because of their line of expertise.But unlike this Rune, he

It seemed like just yesterday that he had climbed those stairs to fetch her sister.He could bet she thought that day marked her happy ever after. He had felt it, too.But after walking up the stairs into her friend's room to check if it was safe, he knew it was everything but a Disney ending. She was in such grave danger that if it weren't solved, the manor would become her lifetime prison.Luciano appeared behind him, dragging his luggage box as he walked past Salvatore and down the stairs toward the parked car.

ADLER"You..." The confusion was etched on her brow when she gawked at him. “You want to give me a job?”He didn't need to ask to understand that she hadn't enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep the previous night. It was evident in the dark circles under her eyes, the lackluster look in her pupils, and her cautious steps when she walked into his office and found him unsealing an envelope.He couldn't discern what troubled her as she scrutinized his desk, her eyes wandering over documents and cards.He feared it would happen when he returned her cell phone; he was sure the threat calls were back. Would it be an invasion of privacy if he were to spy on her conversations? Her trust in him would be ruined, but on the upside, her problems would be solvable.But first things first, “Isobel needs a caretaker, and since we have one in the manor,” he gestured to her, "I figured there would be less use in hanging out a wanted placard.”Why this?
