Sin had gone out to go about his busy schedule, and Zoey was surprisingly not around again, leaving me once more bored. It's not like I could hang out with Mateo since he was busy overseeing the house in Sin and Luca's absence. What better way to eliminate boredom than by reading a book?I had recently downloaded a reading app, where you can read your favourite stories of different genres. Right now I am reading a novel called Loving Hayden. It is about two teens who were once archenemies but later became friends with their enemies. Okay, maybe not friends with benefits, more like enemies with benefits. I was eager to see where their relationship was going to lead. I continue to flip through my phone as I read the story.I was so engrossed with the story that I didn't realize how much time had passed. I was disturbed by the sound of a knock at the door."Mani, are you in there?" It was Samantha's voice; she knocked again, probably waiting for a reply.I stood up, checking myself to ma
Sin got home very late last night. I tried waiting up on him but fell asleep; I didn't even know what time he came home yesterday. Right now, I felt his warmth as I snuggled deeper into his hold.I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting to the sunlight shining through the window. I looked up and was met with dark orbs staring right back at me."good morning". I whispered softly,"Good morning, princess." I could never get used to his husky voice. It always managed to bring me to my knees. "Did you sleep well?" Sin asked."Yeah, I did. I tried waiting up for you yesterday and didn't notice when I fell asleep." I answered truthfully with a pout on my face."Sorry about that, Amore; I came home pretty late. I hoped you had a fun time with Sam yesterday," he asked, stroking my hair."Yes, we did; I was able to get a dress for tomorrow.""I can't wait to see you in it. I'm sure you will look great in it; you always do," he responded, his voice sending tingles rising through my body."Thank you.
"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,
