Chapter 12 When we arrived at the mansion, Ariel was a little calmer. I know she was shocked; she felt betrayed by her closest friends. But still, I can’t wipe the triumphant glow deep inside me; yes I was happy not because she got her heartbroken. But because now she knew the truth about that Jap bastard, the way he looked at her and how he treated her as if she belonged to him was getting under my skin. I was this close to losing control and then killing him and screw the consequences. Ariel is mine and I will be damned if I let that boy take her from me. It doesn’t matter if she loved him or not; it doesn’t matter if she wanted to be with him; it doesn’t fucking matter if she doesn’t love me. All that mattered was she belonged to me. At that moment I had only one thought: eliminate the threat, and protect what is yours, yes at that moment I was the beast everyone claimed........ No, everyone knew that I was. I helped her out of the car and into the mansion. Leo was there wait

Chapter 14 I sat in my office, deep in thought, trying to figure out what was happening around me. Alessio’s disappearance and word in the streets are that he and his boss are at odds right now. Basically, he is a solo player at the moment, and Giovanni isn’t responsible for his actions anymore. But is this really the truth, or is this a new scheme? I can’t shake the idea that there is something wrong is happening and all the answers are right in front of me. But I can’t grasp them. I closed my eyes and tried to relax, stressing that it won’t do me anything. All I need now is to be ready and wait in silence. The Italians have lost their touch, and this organization has been crumbling for years now. This chaos was expected, but what I really don’t understand is why they come after me and mine now. We have been cautious to stay away from each other feet, especially since we work in different fields, even after what happened with Lena. I gritted my teeth. I don’t want to go thro

Chapter 16 I stood there eyeing the three teenagers in my office. My back was to my office’s desk, Theo in the corner glaring at me while Leo was sitting on the leather couch glaring at them. The kids were standing in the middle of the office room, fidgeting, their eyes cast down, afraid to look at me directly. I rubbed my face before speaking. “So you are telling me that there was a fight at your school today and it was between Ariel and some cheerleader?” Lola looked up. “Her name is Tracy Kennedy. She is a friend of Catherine.” She looked at me expectantly, as if this girl’s name should make me somehow understand the relationship. Tyler skimmed his sweaty hands on his jeans. “Catherine is, or…. was Ariel’s friend. She is Rick’s girlfriend, who is always with Blake Roberson.” Leo sighed. “His father works with the Crimson dragon Yakuza.” I hummed and gestured to them to keep going. Lola spoke again, her voice stronger now when I didn’t outburst. “Catherine made Tracy insult A

Chapter 18 part 2 I wiped the table for the millionth time, sighing; I have been living with Gabriel for almost a week now and it was perfect; he is always there first thing in the morning; he eats breakfast with me, drives me to school with Tyler, Jacob, and Lola, which is a new thing according to them. But they said Gabriel did that because he couldn’t stay away from me, which I dismissed at the beginning, but when I found him waiting for me every day after school, and even drove me to the cafe. I doubted they were wrong. I’m not complaining, though. The kiss he gives me before and after school is everything, sweet and tender. He puts all his love and care into it. That is the reason why I’m sulking now. Today was his birthday, and I still didn’t have anything to give him. Lola hinted that I’m all that he wants, and I got her meaning, but still, I’m a little nervous. This would be my first time. I don’t even play with myself. I have never touched myself there. I’m not a prude. I

Chapter 20 I stared at the woman that made Lola fume. She was tall with an hourglass body, her hair was bleached blonde and was styled to perfection, and she looked naturally gorgeous. I only noticed that her hair was bleached because there were some dark roots showing. Her eyes were dark blue, crowning sharp cheekbones, and a small nub nose, but her mouth was full and plump. She has a tall neck, and she has an impressive bust, a tiny waist, and generous hips. She wore an aqua silk dress that hugged her curves, and though it wasn’t suitable to be worn this early in the morning, it suited her. She was the epitome of beauty, the perfect picture of a model. Even her makeup was flawless. It looked natural; though I’m sure she contorted those cheeks. They were so sharp to be gods made. She spared me only one glance, her face turned into distaste and who can blame her? I was wearing one of Gabriel’s shirts and new boxers. Yes, Lola has bought me lots of clothes, but I enjoyed wearing
