That announcement dampened Arianna's countenance at once. Although she knew that she would have to leave just as he told her yesterday, she just didn't think that it would be so soon - she was beginning to like this place. Or maybe, she was beginning to like his company a little."Okay," Arianna said nodding her head. Suddenly the once appetizing pancake didn't look that enticing anymore. Her stomach was churning and it made her pretty much uncomfortable. She lost her appetite."Would you be coming along?" She asked and at the last moment realized how stupid that question sounded. Why would Elijah come with her? She was lucky enough that he helped her escape the bad guys and was risking his life to get her out of the country. Gosh, she was so stupid. At that question, Elijah glanced up from his plate, holding her gaze. He then arched a brow asking, "Do you want me to come with you?" he threw the ball in her court. "Would you come if I told you to?" Arianna challenged him and when h

Kenith didn't like this one bit yet he had no choice. Big Joe had given him an ultimatum to find Arianna or his position was at risk. Moreover, Arianna was the key to his plan, he had to find her at all costs.Unfortunately, the only clue to finding Arianna was to see Marcelo Luciano whether he liked it or not. They were the people he had last seen around her. As soon as Kenith arrived at the club, he was stopped at the entrance where many others were waiting in line. However, he had drawn more attention because he had two of his people behind him as guards. "Who are you?" The bouncer stopped him. "I'm here to see Marcel and don't tell me he's not available because I made my research before coming and from my Intel, he's in here," At that comment, the bouncer narrowed his gaze at him and observed him closely. Kenith smiled, then tilted his neck to the side, exposing a hint of the tattoo on his shoulder causing the bouncer to exhale noisily.The bouncer puffed his chest and stood

Arianna stretched her body out on the bed like a snake coming out of its brumation. She reached for the other side of the bed and though her hand came up empty, a smile still tugged on her lips.Last night was... How was she going to describe it? It was just amazing! A blush crept up her face when she remembered what happened between her and Elijah. That man was out of this world.He brought her to a plane she never thought of reaching. Arianna had touched herself once and although it felt good, that had been the end of it. Moreover, there is no time for fun when you're living with a family that made it their life decision to torment you. For once, Arianna was grateful she did not date while in her uncle's house. Imagine being with someone like Elijah and her cousin Claudia decides to snatch him from her? Arianna knew Claudia would surely attempt to seduce him. Arianna knew Elijah was a chick magnet, she just couldn't help but wonder if he would be able to escape Claudia's wiles if

Mimi was smartly dressed today and although she was anxious, she was filled with excitement as well. Today was her first day of work and she was going to meet a professional who would help her improve her coffee making skills. God, she couldn't wait to get started!Further evidence of her excitement was the fact she had arrived an hour to her working time and made breakfast.Truthfully, the breakfast was meant for Marcel - yeah, what was wrong with trying to impress the boss? Unlike her other boss, this one was young, rich, and sexy. Mimi squealed inwardly in her mind as she imagined what she could do with that body.A-hem!The point is she was trying to get on Marcel's good side. Sadly for her, the man she was trying to impress was already gone before she arrived. So the other men she could find chomped down on the breakfast and even praised her for cooking such delicious food.Mimi was filled with joy, it was her first day and everyone loved her already. Everything was going just t

Marcel had a stoic expression on his face as he walked into his father's place. Although he looked straight ahead, his peripheral views did all the work for him.He observed and mesmerized every turn and doors, noticing the newest alteration made to the house. Although Daniel was his father, Marcel had never for once slept over at his place. This city was not the place he grew up in, so there was no lingering feeling or attachment to the house. Moreover, the old man would never stay in a place contaminated by his mother's presence. However, there was another reason Marcel was interested in this place. His sister must be hidden here somewhere, he just had to find out where and come up with a plan to bust her out. Sadly, his father knew that was exactly what he would do, hence he made sure to keep her further away from him.Chloe, Marcel's younger sister was not biologically related to him however, she was the closest thing to a family that he had left. His mother Penelope, was unable
