VINCENZOI turned the faucet and filled my cup with water. The generous gulp taken drove out steam, blessing me with a nice feeling. Sighing in satisfaction, I went for another cup. That fully got me back in the zone, and straight I went to my desk. Ready to continue from where I'd stopped.I was halfway through with making entries on the database; that wasn't to say I'd be free in no distant time. I'd still got work to do on the balance sheets—which included sending them across to the Chief Financial Officer today. Once these were cleared, I could then heave a sigh and focus on preparing for Sunday. I worked for some time before getting interrupted. It was Padre's secretary, Diego. He was set to leave, but had decided to make one more attempt at pissing me off. "How's it going?"One look was all it took to slap the smile off his face. And even as I'd returned my focus to the desktop, I could still see him gape like the fool he was. He eventually jammed the pit that was supposed to

VINCENZOThe annoying ring came again, ripping sleep off my eyes. I sent a glare at the nightstand, one stretch away from punching it to shards.As though reading my mind, the sound ceased, and I muttered a cuss of gratitude, turning the other way to get back to sleep. A second later, it reemerged, pissing me out of my wit's end. I grabbed the phone and got hit by an ugly glare. However, my emotion took on a different look when I spotted the name on the phone log. Redialing the number, I pushed towards the bedhead, still groggy. The call went on and on, making me feel sleepy. Just when I was about dozing off, a birthday song burst into my ears. I stared with a bored expression, at the same time cringing on Michele's behalf. I rubbed my forehead in relief when the crowing ended. "Who's the birthday boy? That's right. You.""You should have saved this for your boyfriend.""Well, aren't you?""Fucker," I replied, causing him to cackle. I picked up a remote and lit the room. My eye

RINAMammà, I had been told, had a difficult pregnancy. She hadn't been fortunate at all in all of her feminine metabolites. From a breast lump that nearly claimed her life at a tender age of sixteen to the scanty periods that had occupied her every thought. I hadn't been easy with her as a fetus, and when the time came to be pushed out, Irefused to come forth.Right now, all I could think of was how fucked up it had been for her and me to have survived. The umbilical cord around my neck could have saved me all of life's cruelty. It would have spared Mammà the pain of unconsciously watching me lose myself each passing day. I never thought I'd say this, but, but…fuck that organisation that had interfered. What right had they to make the donation that brought my existence? It wasn't here now, was it? It wasn't here to see me weep my eyes out, shaking and trembling because of the unknown fate that awaited me. No, all their members were somewhere in this cursed world living their best lif

VINCENZOShe cried. Moans like a drug, they messed with my senses; charging up my system; setting me on fire. She dared me to plunge in. Yes, her face was a clear depiction of aroused: her mouth open, pleading that I hit. I found myself hesitating. Something I never did. Something I wasn't known to do. But then, those eyes of hers flashed at me. Anger and desperation reddened them. I could read her mind. I knew her thoughts: What the hell are you doing staring? Her puckered brows were what tore my hesitance away. I arched forward and entered her. A high pitched noise erupted from her, thickening the air. Making the atmosphere more sexual. Two things hauled a cry out of me. Two fucking things. The sound she made and the thick, tight walls of her pussy. I swam in ecstasy; spasms of a sweet feeling spearing down my spine. I bent in different directions, never seeming to get enough of her body or pleasure in general. So, I went in, harder, faster, joining my cock in wailing. And I di

Unknown Pov"We received a call from Cedar Valley." Shit, that fucking hospital. "And we are led to believe a particular poison must have been used on Alpha Salvatore.""A poison." Mother surprised me by speaking. Usually, when Father's poisoning was mentioned, she broke down. "Isn't that Wolf's bane? You should be aware. Weren't you guys given the test results?""We are talking about a different poison, Luna. There's a high probability that Wolf's bane was merely an addition to aid the main substance."Was it hot in here? I bet it was. However, I remained in my seat and maintained eye contact with everyone. "What are you saying?"Detective Manuele and the blonde exchanged glances one more time before he spoke. "The alpha most likely had thallium in his body. Cedar Valley's newest neurologist learned of the case and based on the symptoms the Alpha showed, she was able to tie them down to thallium poisoning."A she. Why were women a pain in the ass all of a sudden? Why? Silence ran
