SARAH"What's happening here?" Emilio's words were measured, his voice carrying a hint of confusion as his gaze swept from my exasperated expression to Grace and then to the curious staffs gathered around us.In an instant, Grace extracted herself from my loosening grip and enveloped Emilio in an embrace which was unreciprocated."Emilio I'm so glad you are home. Can you imagine this thing tried to push me out of your mansion" Grace made emphasis on the 'Your', feigning innocence and pity."I don't even know what I did to her. I only kindly suggested that she do her own laundry from now on and don't add it to my pile of laundry work. She is so insecure. Emilio please talk sense into your maid" Grace added, her voice breaking into fake sobs.I stared at her in blank amazement, robbed of my speech.Certainly Emilio wouldn't believe this rubbish."Is this true Sarah?" Emilio raised me an eyebrow, his voice dangerously low."She has been stepping on my toes for far too long. And I don't wa

EMILIO"Over the past few months," I began, the cigarette dangling from my lips as wisps of smoke curled into the air with each exhale.My capos were all seated, their gazes fixed on me with various documents scattered all over the rectangular glass table that separated us all.I called this meeting so we could all discuss on our findings so far concerning uncovering the veiled identity of The Ghost and his true intentions."We've been experiencing series of attacks constantly. Now we found out The Ghost, that bastard, is actually someone related to me. Honestly it all sounds bizarre but that is apparently the truth. Through Andres, we were able to track down the location of one his oligarchs. Probably that is where he is also. Alaska. Alessio and Marcello, I want to believe the underbosess under your jurisdictions have being deployed over to Alaska already. Any news?" I asked, leaning back into the chair.Marcello was the first to respond, "Not yet capo. My men are currently combin

Sarah's moans reverberated throughout the room the instant Emilio's lips met hers in a passionate kiss.His body met hers on the bed, pressing tightly against it and not even giving her a chance to think. It was a scorching, fervent and desperate kiss. His fingers explored her skin with a mind of its own, sinking into her and weakening her core. Their tongues moved in sync, the kiss fueling their lustful hunger with each passing second.Emilio sucked on her tongue, exploring every facet of her mouth as Sarah squirmed in delight underneath him, moaning even more into the kiss.She shuddered, the inferno in the pit of her stomach ignited and consuming her with it. His hands trailed towards her thighs and he gripped onto it, forcing it to part open as he crawled in between her.Sarah sank her fingers inside his hair, fisting her fingers into his dark raven locks. She pulled him closer to her, their bodies hauled against each other as she surrendered to his touch. Sarah knew alre

SARAHTHE NEXT DAY My eyes slowly fluttered open, a mild yawn escaping my lips. I slowly raised my head up as tendrils of my hair were stuck to my sleeping features. The soft hues of dusk cast a golden glow through the parted curtains, gently illuminating my room. As consciousness slowly returned, a groan escaped my lips, accompanied by a jolt of panic. I sat up abruptly, feeling disoriented."Oh shit" I groaned again. I instinctively glanced at the digital clock on my bedside table, and my heart skipped a beat. It was well past six o'clock.Quickly, I snatched my phone as it laid next to me on the bed and turned it on in expectation of any signs of a missed call or text from Emilio.But sadly, all my hopes were shattered as there was none. I flung my phone aside in frustration, the weight of worry pressing down on me as I buried my face in my hands, emitting a deep groan of frustration."Where the hell is Emilio?!" The question hung heavy in the air as I voiced my concern alou

DAYS LATERThe bar was boisterous, alive with energy with scarlet red lights casting an intense, almost angry atmosphere within. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol and lingering cigarette smoke, swirling around the room in a haze. Music pulsed through the air, reverberating off the walls and adding to the lively ambiance.Stepping out into the warm embrace of the summer evening were two men. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden glow across the landscape. The sky above painted in hues of orange and pink, created a breathtaking scenery."Hey, buddy, didn't I warn you about that fiery lady in there? I've been with better women than her, and none of them dared to dish out that much attitude from the get-go," one of them remarked to his friend, his words punctuated by fits of laughter.With coffee-brown locks cascading across his face, his friend's frustration was palpable as he pushed the unruly strands behind his ear, crossing his arms in annoyance."Did you see h
