Panic roared through him when Stefan broke the news. She was in that building. He asked about her and the answer set his nerves on fire. Without delaying, he rushed out of his office to go there. All he felt was an unrelenting desperation to see her. His men were searching for her but they had not found her yet. She has to be alright. He would burn the whole world if something happened to her. He drove at the highest speed and reached the place in less than ten minutes. He muscled his way through the thick crowd, his worried gaze frantically searching for her, dying to get a single glimpse of her. Where was she? His heart was knocking wildly against his ribcage as he scoured through the crowd. A constant dull ache searing his chest. Nick had never felt this scared before not even for his own life. When he couldn't find her in crowd, he stalked towards the building that had smoke billowing out of its windows. His features stiff in resolve and gaze hard. He marched toward

He wanted to kiss her again. Fuck that, he was dying to bite into those juicy lips and submerge his senses into their sweetness. He absently chomped down on the apple he was holding wishing it was her lips while his hawk-like eyes followed every small movements of her mouth as she conversed with Nichelle. Blissfully unaware of the dirty thoughts running through his mind. She had no idea how much she occupied his mind. Be it night or day, he was always thinking about her. All the damn time. "Why are you staring at Angela like that, brother?" Nichelle asked suddenly, interrupting his thoughts. Angela's confused gaze swept in his direction. He didn't bother to look away and pretend he wasn't eye-fucking her all this while. Her eyes widened a fraction when she noticed the feral intensity in his eyes. A blush heated her cheeks and she lowered her gaze to he plate. "Like what?" he questioned without moving his eyes from the object of his desire. "Like you want to eat her alive," Nic

Nick was in his study, seething and frustrated. Stefan was working on finding out who had leaked the pictures into the media. Who could do this? While most pics were old, some pictures were of Netherlands as well. Was it Theo? But his instincts were telling him it wasn't him. He wouldn't dare pull something off like this after his warning. He didn't have it in him. Whoever had done it is a fool of top level. But if by any chance it turned out to be him then he will make him regret the day he was born. His gaze flickered to the door when it opened. The anger in his eyes turned into surprise when he saw Angela behind the door. The surprise morphed into hope. He quickly shot to his feet and marched over to her in three long strides. "Angel," he stopped a step short from her. His hands itched to pull her into his arms and kiss her but he restrained himself. " I wanted to talk to you about something," she had to crane her neck to keep looking at him."Say," he replied coaxingly, won

Leah woke up to a pounding headache. Her eyes squinted in confusion when she took notice of the unfamiliar room. Where she was?"Finally, the princess is awake," a very sarcastic voice echoed in the room, snapping her from her inspection. Theo got to his feet. His eyes held open disdain as he stalked towards her. Her gaze hld no emotions as she watched him approaching her. "Pathetic. Always need someone to save your ass," she clenched her jaw at his biting remark but decided not to dignify his comment with a reply. Ignoring his towering presence over her head, she peeled the duvet off her legs and planted her feet to the carpet floor. She got up and stepped past him. But before she could take another step away, he harshly grabbed her arm and swiveled her to face him. " Do.not.ignore.me," he ground out, his eyes stabbing into hers. Her own eyes held a blaze of hatred for him. "Leave my hand," she stated. Theo smirked. "You know who saved you from those goons? Who you owe your

"....No, only red rose petals....I want everything perfect.....Any mistake and there will be a bullet between your eyes," he warned the event manager in his usual calm but dangerous voice. More often than not his tone was enough to make people piss in their pants and he wasn't shy to take advantage of it. He hung up after spitting the instructions to the manager for their date night. He was looking over every tiny detail of arrangements. He was going to make it an unforgettable night for her. If he managed to give her even a fraction of happiness that she had given him yesterday then he would consider it a success. Nick was ecstatic. Overjoyed. She had finally agreed to give them a chance. He couldn't wait for the day to end. The time was slower than usual today. He glanced at his wristwatch and sighed. Only an hour had passed since he had stepped into the office. If only time was a person. He would have threatened him into speeding the fuck up up. He grabbed his phone and scrolled t
