"Where are we going?""That's for me to know and for you to find out, Amore." Sin was mysterious as ever, just like the night of my birthday when he took me out.We were inside one of Sin's limousines. I shouldn't even be surprised when I found out we were riding the limousine for our date. He always knew how to spice things up and leave me in awe; that is one of the things I love about him.We stopped in a parking lot, but there weren't many cars there, just an average quantity. Sin's men, who were following behind us, stepped out to secure the premises. I looked out of the window, and I was stunned when I saw a very big yacht that had beautiful lights shining out of it."Are we having our dinner on a yacht?" I was surprised and at the same time extremely excited.“And what if I told you that yes,” I let out a squeal, pulling his face in for a quick kiss?"I plan on making our first official date special, along with many other special dates. Last time had been a flop, and I want noth
"Oh my God, Mani, it feels like ages since I last saw you." Stephanie screamed with excitement.I know you are wondering when all this happened. When Sin and I got home, we did make out, but nothing else happened because of nature, if you understand what I mean, so we just showered and cuddled together to go to sleep.The next day, which was the beginning of the weekend, Stephanie and I chatted and really missed her and wanted to see her; it was the same for her too, so we made plans to see her on Monday, which is today. I didn't give her a definite answer yet because I had to ask Sin first before going out of the house.Now that was a difficult task, seeing how stubborn Sin gets, especially when it comes to my safety. I just don't understand why, when I asked him to let me go shopping with Samantha, he agreed without any persuasion. I did my best to change his mind until he agreed on Sunday and we made a deal. If I were going out, I wouldn't be going alone; ten of his men, along with
I walked over to the mirror for a final check, then grabbed my matching black clutch purse and went downstairs, where Sin and the others were waiting.When I got to the last flight of stairs, Sin was standing there, just a foot away, typing rapidly on his phone while the others were nowhere in sight. I took the time to admire how handsome he looked in a black Amarni suit, with his hair styled backward and his face flawless.The more I stared at him, the more I noticed how tightly his jaws were clenched together. letting me know that whoever he was chatting with or whatever message was being exchanged pissed him off. I got down the last set of stairs, clearing my throat to gain his attention. His head was raised, his eyes scanned me up and down like always, and I could see the warmth and gentleness in his gaze.I gave a small smile, blushing under his strong gaze as he slowly walked up and stroked my cheeks, which made me blush even harder. Warmth spread through me when he brought his
I stared at the man, who was like a second father to me, shocked to see him here. My mind swirls at the possible thoughts of what he might be doing here and how he was connected to Sin for him to be invited to the house.And more importantly, was he aware of the kind of business that Sin runs?I continue to stare at him, taking in the series of emotions on his face, from shock to disbelief to fear and worry. But just as quickly as it came, his face went blank and void, looking nothing like the man I knew."Sorry I’m late; the traffic was hectic." He says this, bowing his head slightly to Sin, who gives a nod."There is no need to apologize; we were just about to start dinner." Sin says, ushering him to his seat with a hand.Uncle Carson nods, walking over to an empty chair beside Samantha, while Luca follows, sits beside him, and dinner commences.I tried as much as possible not to be bothered by this revelation, but the more I tried to focus on the conversation going around the table
The last guest for the night was gone, and I placed my hand to my mouth, trying to hold back a yawn.I wasn’t sure what happened between Sin and Uncle Carson, but I knew for a fact that he talked to Sin alone, which must not have gone well since he stormed out of his study, barely saying good-bye or looking in my direction before storming out of the house.I tried not to be bothered by it, but I couldn’t help it. I wanted to know what he thought of my presence in Sin’s house and whether he was disappointed with me for having lied to him and everyone else about traveling.It might not have been a lie at the start when I said I was leaving and thought of traveling the world, but I didn’t know that there was no way I could get away from Sin, not that I planned on leaving his side now.Ugh.I just wish Uncle Carson had once looked at me or even tried talking to me.The sound of footsteps making their way in my direction snapped me out of my thoughts, and I raised my head to see Sin walkin
The level of awkwardness during lunch with Uncle Carson was unbearable. He had a terrific sense of humour, and whenever we met, we would crack jokes about anything, but suddenly there were walls between us that neither of us could get over.At least not yet.After getting Sin’s approval for us to meet, I called him that morning, and we agreed to meet the next day at a restaurant for lunch. And like I promised Sin, I was sure to go with Mateo and two other men.The silence pulsed between us. As the waitress noted down our order and left, I reached for the glass of water and took a sip. The clinking sound of the knives and forks did its business in the background.Uncle Carson was the first to break the ice. "How have you been?""I’ve been good." I quipped, giving him a smile. His eyes searched my face for any hint of a lie, and he gave a small nod when he saw none."That’s good to know." He smiled, still studying my face."Wha...what about you? How have you been?" I stutter nervously,
It's been days since I met Uncle Carson, and though it's been a bit awkward knowing our involvement with the Mafia, I know he's still worried and scared Stephanie might get tangled up as well.I wasn’t sure how I was going to tell him that it was already too late and that she was already tangled up in the matter since she was supposedly dating a man named Luca, which I was certain was the same Luca I knew.Sin was also back from his trip, though he didn’t give me much detail as to what happened. From what I could gather, it had something to do with the small group of gangster wannabes that had attacked us the night I got shot.Samantha had told me they were able to find the hideout of the gang leader due to the money put on his head. But from how pissed Sin was when he came back two days ago, it was clear that things didn’t go as planned.I was clad in a towel that was safely wrapped around my body. I had just finished showering and was about to get dressed. After towelling, I put on
God! Sin must be rubbing off on me if I am happy to see another being treated like this, but a part of me kept on whispering that she deserved it. Who gave her the right to stake a claim on my man? When he turned to look at me, I didn't know what had come over me. I decided to be a vixen and walked teasingly slowly towards him, swaying my hips, which caught the attention of other men in the room, and Sin's eyes darkened with his jaw clenched.Luna still stood close to him, but she wasn't holding him anymore. I reached where they were; I stepped between the two of them, and my arms were placed on his hard chest. He wrapped his hands around my waist, looking at me amused. I pulled his head down to mine for a kiss on the lips. I pulled away with a smile on my face, which he reciprocated."Who the hell are you?" Luna asked, pissed."His Queen, and who are you?" I looked back innocently, my arms still on his chest."Then you must be really ignorant if you believe that." She said. "Sin does
