JERRY COULD NOT quite understand Melissa's sudden obsession with bringing her husband's family "to the ground" but he did not have a choice or need to voice his opinion on the matter, so he simply nodded and bowed. Sometimes he questioned his sanity at why he remained loyal to Melissa, maybe it was because of her father. He never forgot how Mr. Chen had brought out hack from the bricks of death on the streets of Thailand. His loyalty to the man extended to his family members... including Melissa, whom Mr. Chen had personally placed in Jerry's arms for safekeeping. He waited to know if she had any more assignments for him, when he saw that there were none, he bowed again and walked out of the indoor pool. Heading out, he crossed paths with Marcus Salvatore. He stepped to the side as a sign of respect as the man passed by. Sometimes, he wondered where his boss's hatred started brewing from. From what he could see and tell, Marcus Salvatore was a seemingly decent man. He sighed and shr

I HAD SEX with Marcus Salvatore. More than once, and it was still as mind-blowing as I remembered from all those years ago. In six hours, I had orgasmed more than 7 times. I couldn't believe it. That the man I had always loved and hated at the same time was with me, even though his arms were wrapped around me protectively and his soft breaths feathered the nape of my head. My anger at him did not last at all after he came back to the room and undid his bathrobe. It was almost impossible to stay mad at that perfect gift of God's creation. I snorted at myself lightly. When did I get so poetic? I shifted slightly, pressing myself closer to his naked body. Why was I even angry in the first place? I was eventually going to end things with Joe, although not in this manner, but I must admit to myself that Marcus saved me from the stress. I felt quite bad for Joe. I sighed heavily. I did not know what this sex with Marcus meant. Are we back together? Was this a one-time thing? Or was I

THEY FOUND THEIR way to the bedroom, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep almost immediately. Marcus woke her up some hours later and they made slow, sweet love again. And then Olivia slept in his arms, her body wrapped around his. When he woke her again, the tender light of late evening peeped through the plantation blinds on her bedroom windows.He slid his hand between her legs and parted her thighs.” Are you sore?” he asked softly. She nodded. "A little.""You were so tight," Marcus said as he caress her thighs. "It had been a while for you?" "I can't remember the last time," Olivia agreed. "I have been so busy with raising Jake and my job. I simply did not have the time." But she was lying, the truth was that for every man she had met over the 5 years, she had subconsciously put them in comparison with Marcus, and when they didn't meet up, she would just lose interest. "And that man Joe?" Marcus asked with exaggerated uninterest. "Joe… Joe…" Olivia said. "Is that jealousy I

WARNING: THE SECOND HALF OF THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EROTIC AND SEXUAL SCENES. READER'S DISCRETION ADVISED. "MARCUS JAKE SALVATORE Jr," Marcus muttered under his breath like he could not believe what he had just heard. I feared to look at his face so I focused my gaze out the window as buildings flew by. "You named him after me," he said. That was from a moment of weakness, don't judge me. He reminded me so much of Marcus when he was born. They both shared that startling blue eyes. "I hated my name," He growled. "I never liked it, and it is too heavy for a child." I still refused to meet his gaze. "And you didn't give him your surname," he said again. From my side eye, I saw him grip the steering wheel even tighter. I did not know it was from anger or another emotion. It was also from a moment of weakness, but out of a deep sense of morality, I had had Jake registered as a Salvatore. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. I sighed. That was the elephant in the room, or rather, the

AILUN CHEN, HEIR of Chen of the three-headed dragon clan, sat waiting for his psychopathic sister. He sighed and pushed his hair behind his ear. No one really knew just how sick-minded his sister was, only he had seen a glimpse of that side of her. He was confused at Melissa's sudden hate for the Salvatores family, even though he knew she did not need to have a solid reason to hate a person. He had always had a dislike for the Italians too, but it was not as deep as Melissa made it seem. On her wedding day, he had threatened to destroy the family if they treated his sister badly, but over the past 6 years, Melissa had even been respected and treated like a princess in the Salvatore house. He chuckled. He knew that gentle treatment only further angered her. He had met with her husband on some occasions and although he did not like the man, he admitted that it could have been worse. Melissa could have been married off to another psychopathic Mafia boss. He chuckled at the thought. He

"WHAT DO YOU mean the favor is closed?" Melissa asked. "He closed it a few hours ago?" Jerry replied, standing near the door. "Does that mean that the kid is dead?" She asked, smiling slowly. Jerry did not reply to that, he simply stared straight ahead. Melissa stood up from the bed. She walked out, and Jerry followed her closely. "I want you to go and find some information," she said. "I am going to see my brother now, before I get have, I expect you to get all the information about what is really going on, okay?" Jerry nodded and walked out into his black sedan. He gave Melissa one last glance before driving away. Melissa started to get into her sports car but she stopped and removed her black sunshades as a large black SUV approached her car. It was not a threat, she was sure of that. After all, the security men at the gate of the estate would not allow just anybody in. The SUV slowed to a stop and she saw her father-in-law and brother-in-law. Is Julian my brother-in-law? She
