Chapter: Chapter 11: Work from home Ana's pov:His home looked even more exquisite than the hotel. Shiny floors, high ceilings, expensive diamond chandeliers.Sophia squeezed my hand and clung to my side as John led us through the house. She was unusually quiet and timid but I couldn't fault her with that because I also felt intimidated by the home... As if walking on such a pristine surface was a sacrilege."Mr Greyson is working in his study." John informed us. "Do well to not disturb him unless it's very important. He hates being disturbed."I kept that in mind as we began to walk.John gave us a detailed rundown of the various parts of the house and finally, he took me to the state of the art kitchen that looked like it should belong to a world renowned chef instead of little ol' me.The counters and floors sparkled. There were high-end equipments and none of the silverware or glass set was smudged. Everything looked stainless.Gosh. Mr Greyson must be a neat freak and a perfectionist because not a single thing was

Chapter: chapter 10: Vengeance Ana's pov:"Goodnight mummy. Goodnight daddy," Sophia said as we both kissed her forehead and tucked her in with her favorite plush toy.We always tucked her in together and played our parts at being a pseudo family. It was a game that both Sophia and Tylor loved but I worried that it would give them the wrong idea and further encourage Tylor."What's the condition?" I asked Tylor as soon as we closed the door to Sophia's room after making sure she was sleeping soundly."You have to stay away from Greyson." He said with a straight face.I rolled my eyes. "Kind of hard to do because I work for him now.""I know but–" he let out an exasperated breath and raked his hand through his hair. "If it has nothing to do with the job, keep your distance from him. Don't go close to him. Don't let him get close to you. And–""That's four conditions, Tylor." I groaned."This one's important. Hear me out," he said, walking close to me until he was a hair's breath from me. He looked into my eyes inten

Chapter: Chapter 9: Terms and conditions Ana's Pov:Lucas came to my rescue, albeit unknowingly."And speaking of permissions, father, I want Sophia to go to the same school with me."Greyson didn't even think about it. "Of course," he said and continued eating.For the umpteenth time today, my mouth hung open. I was right when I thought that Lucas's wishes were never really denied. He doesn't even request it. He just demands for something and it's as good as his. I don't think the little guy has ever heard the word 'no' before. At least, not from his father.Tylor exclaimed, "that won't be necessary. I have arranged the best family-teaching tutor for her. He came highly recommended from a friend.""Please, daddy!" Sophia turned the full force of her pleading gaze on him. "I want to make more friends in school. And I want to be with Lucas. Please daddy! Please mummy!""I don't know, sweetie..." I started, "we just got back to the states and we haven't settled in properly–""She can begin classes next month after you two have

Chapter: Chapter 8: Cold warGreyson's pov:"I'm here for dinner."Ana looked at me as if I just declared that I would go hula hooping on the moon with a narwhal.Her mouth hung open, her eyes wide like saucers.Seeing as she was a little short for words, I stepped into her apartment and looked around the tiny little foyer. I recognized my son's faux leather coat hanging on the coat hanger.The smell of food, delicious and savoury, filled the entire apartment and assaulted my nostrils.So this was why the little rascal decided to leave with her. He wanted home cooked food.Speaking of the devil, he strolled into the foyer, a slightly annoyed expression clear on his face. He looked at me calmly, his eyes conveying a message; "what are you doing here?"I gave him a look of my own; "same thing you're doing here."I turned and took off my coat, hanging it neatly on the coat hanger before it dawned on Ana that I wasn't joking when I said that I'd stay for dinner."B... But– I'm supposed to start my job tomorrow, not t

Chapter: chapter 7: Uninvited guestsChapter 7:"Would you like me to drive you somewhere you can get some chocolate?""No, go to your home. I want to have home-made cakes for dinner."I had a hard time saying no to regular people, so the thought of saying no to him sounded a lot harder, especially because he looked like someone that was not used to being denied.We sat in awkward silence in my car as I drove back to my apartment. I caught him looking curiously at me a few times from the rearview mirror. He would pry his lips open as if to say something to me, then shake his head, thinking better of it and remaining silent.He was probably as awkward as I was but the little ice prince hid it well with his frosty, put together appearance."What's your name, little guy?" I asked as an attempt to break the ice.He took the bait easily. "Lucas," he said, tipping his chin up an inch. "My name is Lucas.""Well, Lucas, it's nice to formally make your acquaintance. I'm Anastasia, but my people call me Ana."He only shrugged and

Chapter: Chapter 6: Sweet desserts Silence ensued after his last statement.I couldn't find another job to support me on such short notice. This job will have to do, even if it's for only a short period of time until I find a better one. Hopefully, working for a literal ice statue wouldn't be so hard."Take her to complete the paperwork and give her a tour of the building," the man said to his butler.The butler –I didn't quite catch his name, so I'm just going to call him Alfred– nodded, looking pleased for whatever reason and led me out of the office. He had an aristocratic air about him, very elegant and posh, as if he had been serving royals for decades and was now like one of them.I completed signing the necessary legal documents but a clause on one of the financial documents made me pause. On the position I had been offered, it still said 'manager' not 'secretary', but that wasn't even the shocking part. I knew the price range for a managerial position for someone like me with little or no experience. However, w

Lethal Games: Taming My Mafia Don Stepbrother
"And if they take me?"
His eyes were burning embers of wrath. "Then I will burn the whole damn world to get you back."
****
Bianca Fiori has never backed down from a fight. But she faces her toughest opponent yet in the image of her new stepbrother, the don of the entire Italian mafia, who is intent on stoking the fire between them and seems to trigger a burning desire for him in her.
Andre DiMarco has never met a single person that pushed his buttons the way his new stepsister does. With a deadly enemy knocking on his door, the last thing he needs is a rebellious airhead to look after and the undeniable desire welling in his stomach at the sight or thought of her is not helping matters.
It's not long before they give in to their lust and passion, playing a lethal game where they go at each other's throats in public but tangle in the sheets behind closed doors.
With secrets, lies, betrayal and an impending mafia war, things are quickly becoming a bloodbath. When his enemies realize just how soft a spot he has for his new stepsister, they begin to come for her. And Bianca is about to find out just how far her stepbrother will go to protect what's his

Chapter: Epilogue EpiloguePov: Andre(Four years later)I roused awake in the middle of the night with a starts and looked around the room, peace settling over my heart when I saw that Bianca was right beside me.Very much asleep and very much round with my baby in her.A beautiful little girl I was going to love and cherish with my whole heart.The years had been fairly peaceful with no more intruders trying to close in on my territory. Business was better than ever and Bianca was an active member of the mafia, asserting her place as my wife and equal.Thr room was dark except for the sliver of light that reflected from the night lamp by her bedside.She had never really gotten over her fear but she was better at controlling it now.I reached out and rubbed her swollen belly and she roused awake and looked at me with sleepy eyes."Andre?" She murmured, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Can't sleep?"I shook my head, "just worried." I murmured, rubbing her bare stomach.Even after all this while, I st

Chapter: 95: You're safePov: Andre"You're sure you don't want our help with this?" Alistair asked one last time before I jumped into the Jeep and the rest of my men got ready to get the fuck out of here."In the Cosa Nostra, we deal with our own famiglia," I said gruffly, my knuckles turning white as I clenched my fists hard around the steering wheel and started the car. Usually, Oscar takes the wheels but I was prepared to fuck up the speed limit and drive like a mad man until I got to Bianca.That slimy bastard is fucking dead. Nothing will stop me from tearing open his gut with my bare hands and stringing out his intestines. Excitement thrummed in my blood, the idea of having a reason to finally kill him was too good an opportunity to pass up."Found his location," Leon chirped behind me in the back seat. "He's back at the old townhouse."Good. I had one of my men link a tracker to him after the fiasco at the party cleared up. He had fled back to Sicily where I didn't have to see his face and contempla

Chapter: 94: Fight like a girlPov: Bianca(Two hours ago.)Things went wrong almost immediately Andre left."Where's Nico," I turned to Bernard as he led me up the stairs towards the safe room where half a dozen other men stood, alert, with their guns drawn."I sent some of the men to look for him. He probably snuck out to go with Andre. Right now, my job is to keep you safe.""You don't understand, Nico is also important to Andre, you have to find him. I don't want anything happening to him again."He huffed an exasperated breath and looked at me as if I was over-reacting. "Fine," he conceded, "get in the room and I'll go with the rest of the men to find Nico after you're safely locked inside.""How will you get it to open? Only Andre and Emilio knows the password.""Andre had you and Nico's fingerprints scanned and inputed into the house's control unit. The two of you can pretty much open any door in the house. We can let you in, but none of us can get out unless Emilio or Andre himself unlock the door from the

"Lead us to the basement he was talking about."She sniffed and scurried to her feet while glaring at me with as much venom as she could. "You killed him!" She screamed at me."Careful," I narrowed my eyes into slits at her, "I'd hold my tongue if I were you, unless you wish to join him."She wisely clamped down on her lips as her body racked with sobs.My phone buzzed in my pocket and I ignored it, knowing that the men would reach out to me through the earpieces if they wanted to deliver a message."The south wing has been successfully breached," Alexei's voice came in through the receiver. "No sign of Grigori.""None here, either," Enzo murmured."He's probably hiding from in his basement. I'm heading there right now.""We'll cover you," Alistair said, sounding not too far away.I grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her along with me.

"Incoming, in three, two..."I turned to see the mad man standing up in his jeep, his upper body poking through the space in the roof, a rocket launcher balanced on his shoulder.He grinned hard and wide and launched the weapon, the grenade flying past us at record speed and launching itself straight into Grigori's wall, exploding immediately on contact.The ground shook at the rumble as the grenade exploded and crumbled part of the wall to pieces.I looked at Roma and he nodded a you're welcome at me, strapping his own vest and jumping out of his car."It's a good thing law enforcements have been taken care of or we'd have a hell of a time explaining what the fuck that was," Alistair grumbled into his speaker.The explosion alerted Grigori's men and in no time, they were stumbling through the wreckage, confused and disoriented.

Chapter: CHAPTER 144: THE END OF AN ERA.Zander's POV. I'd planned several times how I'd kill my brother. It's a sick thing to think about one's own twin, but I'd hated Tristan from the very moment we'd come out of my mother's womb together. I'd planned a slow death for him, I wanted him to watch as I took over the pack, I wanted him to see me take down every single thing he'd put in place, I wanted him to watch me make him obsolete once more. But I'd brushed all that away the moment Selena's body fell limply against mine. I could feel the few borders I'd kept up collapse in one instant and before Tristan had the chance to move I was on him, my hand was at his neck and my teeth were buried onto the other side. He screams under me, scratching at me, hitting in the eye nose and trying to break my teeth, but that barely worked on a regular wolf talkless of me, so undaunted by his little attacks I buy down and before he can react even further I rip a huge chunk of flesh out of his neck. His screams increase as I tear into his

Chapter: CHAPTER 143: A BLADE IN THE BACK. Zander's POV. If not for the fact that her scent was everywhere. It wouldn't be the first time I'd dreamt of her, gliding into my office like that, saying that she has decided to forgive me, then she kisses me and I touch her and she moans and then I wake up. Sometimes I just dream of her walking into my office to talk to me, to laugh with me again, to slip her hand into mine and smile at me that bright way only she knows how to, I felt happy once again at peace and then I'd wake up… back to my miserable reality where she couldn't even look me in the eye. I hate it, I hate it. I hate not having her around, I hate having her so mad at me, I hate knowing I'm the reason she cried so pitifully that day. I miss her so fucking much.But in the midst of all the chaos happening in my mind, in the midst of all that turmoil and pain I was still planning, searching for ways to finally bring my brother down once and for all. While I knew Selena's current grudge with me was all on me I knew tha

Chapter: CHAPTER 142: INDECISION. Selena's POV. I was never a particularly cruel person. My mother raised me to be many things, strong, uncompromising when need be, tactical when making decisions, kind and many many other things that she crafted to make me the next great leader. But cruelty, I was unused to turning eyes away from people if they needed help, I was uneasy when it came to making decisions about execution or anything that had to do with murder and now even with everything I knew about him, I was still hesitating to make the decision that would get me the revenge that my family and I rightfully deserved. I had no trust for Tristan. Just because he suddenly woke up and told me about Zander's secrets doesn't mean we were suddenly friends. I wasn't stupid, telling me was more for his benefit, even though I wasn't sure how it was possible for me to kill a whole ass cursed Prince, getting Zander out of his way would benefit him a lot more than it would me. Two sides of me were conflicting here, one part of m

Chapter: CHAPTER 141: PROPOSITIONSSelena's POV. Not even Ana's arms around me can comfort me at this point. I'm beyond distraught. The only thing going through my mind is an image of Zander standing over my mother, covered in blood smiling that same unhinged smile that was on his face when he came to rescue me that day in the woods. He was a monster, a violent bastard. He'd not only killed everyone I'd cared about he had the guts to fuck me afterwards and touch me with the very same hands he'd used to tear into my pack mates. These are the types of thoughts that are constantly making rounds about my brain. The majority of them were curses thrown in Zander's direction, others were shards of glass piercing into me as punishment for sleeping with the man that had killed my family. I was stupid, very stupid I'd let lust and infatuation drive me into the arms of a monster. Why? All because he'd shown me a little bit of kindness while I suffered in this pack. A nagging part of my brain feeds me with the thought that may

Chapter: CHAPTER 140: EXECUTION Laleh's POV. I could only laugh. Watching Selena in a state of clear turmoil might be one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. Prompting Tristan to tell her about what really happened to her family was the right choice after all.I can't say I was surprised to find out Zander was behind it, though we'd chosen to rule their death as suicide it was obviously not. Their bodies were ripped about brutally and purposely and savagely enough that even I was disgusted. Digging into their deaths though was more for curiously reasons than anything else, a creature that could easily murder a whole pack of healers like needed to be assessed, I needed to know if I had a friend or a foe on my hands and guess what, the fee sources that I'd had all painted back to Zander, a little while before he made his return known he'd slaughtered every last person in that pack.Of course the information was secret and extremely hard to gather, but there was nothing a couple of charms and a good han

Chapter: CHAPTER 139: TRUTH WILL OUTZander's POV. Fucking Tristan. I shift back and tug on a pair of trousers as fast as possible, ignoring the pointed stares that are tossed my way as I run up the stairs in search of my mate. I can't even imagine the state Selena is in and only the goddess knows what he told her. I burst into her room to see her on the floor, her hair is a mess, one side of her face is swollen and very bruised, and her eyes are distant. Horror rushes through me as I remember her last encounter with Tristan, the way she'd pushed me away and shut me out for weeks, she'd barely eaten and was just a teary mess, all because he'd spoken to her, I wonder what he'd said now.I kneel in front of her trying to get her eyes to follow me. But it remains fixed on something very far away, cold and closed off to me. Second only to the time she was kidnapped I've never been so scared in my life. "Selena, Selena please talk to me," I say stroking her face and trying to get her eyes to settle on me.She blinks and
