LydiaWhen Veronica said I wouldn't be alone this weekend, I didn't think she would invite me out much less to a night club. "Isn't it great?" She asked with a smile on her lips."It's something, alright",Henley said behind me.It was ironic, that we, as the only women who worked for Carlos Santana were hanging out. I had tried to avoid coming here but Veronica wasn't the type of woman to say no to. Henley on the other hand, tagged along because she was as bored as I was doing nothing in Carlos' house.My boss, Carlos Santana or in this case our boss, was at the moment in Mexico. Accompanied by his rugged good looks turns out the man was also a family man attending a family dinner in his grandfather's home at San Miguel de Allende."Come on, you don't like it?" Veronica pulled up a frowning face whilst I and Henley gazed at the rowdy people dancing with neon stick lights in their hands.The music was too loud but nice, the bar was too crowded and I would bet by lucky nickle that not

LydiaI pouted leaning in for a kiss. A kiss that I wanted so badly to happen.I closed my eyes as the song 'Happy by Pharrell Williams' got all my nerves giddy. I couldn't wait to have his lips on mine, to feel his earthly scent of sandalwood arouse my senses.Whatever type of drink that bone dry martini was, it was working. I felt like I was flying, literally in the clouds with the strikingly handsome man infront of me.I don't know but leather did make him look good. He reminded me of Tony Padilla from 13 reasons why, only less Spanish and more American. I left his thin warm lips on my cheek and the smiley face I had turned to a frown."W..what was...that?""A kiss. Now let's go",he grabbed my arm but I refused to move."I can't""What now? I thought a sober you was hard to handle but you are even more stubborn when you are drunk!" He spat and I chuckled at his expression.He was so mad. So angry like I was punishing him when all I wanted was for him to loosen up. He said I was up

CorneliusI had flown to Italy for a small vacation with my family. Technically it wasn't a vacation since I was only there for my cousin, Nicole. Something about her clothes being featured at Milan's fashion week.I didn't want to attend the freaking show but since my aunt had been relentless in trying to patch 'the broken heart' she thought I had, I had no choice but to fly to Milan first thing Nicole asked me to.Invited to her show were ofcourse my aunt Victoria, Chance, my cousin Cain and his fiance Leila Urquillo who was three or four months pregnant. There was a high probability that I would run into him and I for the first time didn't care.Sure we never saw eye to eye with Cain but I decided to let bygones be bygones. My dad was gone and there was nothing we could do about it rather than move on.I arrived in Milan a little late about nine p.m. I thanked my pilot before I went to rest after the long flight in Hotel Da Vinci. Chance was also set to arrive in Milan by tomorrow

LydiaKrrrrr. Krrrrr. Krrrrr.What was the use of the vibrating icon on a phone really? Because in all honesty, my phone still buzzed inside something and even from whatever dream world I was stuck in, I could hear it.I lazily slung my hand on the wooden nightstand, my hand aimlessly trying to find where the damn machine was crying from. Unable to find it, I lazily got up from the bed, a headache coming in like I had somehow been struck with lightning.Damn those martinis! I cussed, my fingers running through my hair as a futile attempt in trying to bring the headache down. Once I could see clearly, I searched around for where my phone was buzzing from. I later found my purse on the floor and from there I got my phone.I swiped the screen seeing Veronica's name pop up."It's too early to be calling, don't you think?"I asked turning my head sideways in an effort to get rid of the stiffen muscles around my neck.My whole body was sore. I really slept badly and I was still having the s

JAMIEI had been to Milan, to Paris, to Moscow, to Dubai, to Mexico and from all of those places I had met a lot of women. Some I slept with, some I dumped, some I liked but the woman sleeping in my arms couldn't match any other woman I had slept with or liked.When my father sent me to do his bidding like he always does; I was surprised to learn that I would be stalking a woman. A woman who according to my father could drag our whole business to the mud if we weren't keeping a close eye on her.The orders were, follow her, don't talk to her and if she were to do something out of the ordinary, I wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through her head. Yet it had been weeks and in the first few days I had already collided with her, I always hesitated to talk, to do something crazy that would scare her off or to be myself.When I heard Cornelius Powers, my father's most trusted associate was losing his touch because of a woman, I had merely let out a chuckle.What would one woman have that t

Lydia"Was it good?" Veronica asked me and I wondered what to say."Yeah. I think. Maybe?" I replied awkwardly watching her give me a rather weird look."You've never had sex before, have you?" She chuckled and I rolled my eyes.When I told her about my thrilling sex escapade with Jamie yesterday the last thing I expected was for her to act like this. And by this, I mean shipping me with Jamie.I wasn't ready. I don't think I would ever be but what happened between me and Jamie was something that I didn't regret. "I have. Twice. Thrice maybe", I lied. Who am I kidding, the only time I had sex was with Cornelius and yes, it was my first time.The memory of his body on top of mine as he gently pushed inside me would forever be engraved in my mind as well as in my heart. It was the memorable night of my life and at the same time my worst. I should have hated Connor. I shouldn't have been thinking about him and now? Look at me, I was pathetic gushing over him."Why do I seriously doubt th

JAMIE KING"I want you back in Milan as soon as possible""What about her?""She's harmless. Connor is on the right track, business is good and the last thing I want is you wasting your time on her""Couldn't she be a potential threat in the future? Think about it""She has nothing on us. She's not a loose end""Still, I think it's better if I keep a close eye on her, don't you think?""What's really going on? Since when did you start questioning my orders. It's about this girl, no? You fell for the rigazza americano, didn't you? Fucking stupid, Joaquin! I want her gone, you are right. She is a threat, to you, to the business and to me.Either you do it or I'll do it myself and you know how that will turn out right? Two days, Joaquin. Two""Papa? Dad--fuck!" I groaned throwing the damn phone on the ground.I was fucked. Lydia was fucked. I had just ruined her life and I felt shitty. Lydia was a good woman, kind, funny, and one who didn't deserve to be involved in this mess. How would

LYDIAI couldn't breathe as reality crashed my head like a ten story drop.The bulky man's grip tight around my neck, I braced myself for death."Mafioso knew you wouldn't kill her. He knew the body was a fake Gioacchino! You betray us? You betray your father for her?"My ears peaked at the mention of Mafioso and my past came crushing in like a tsunami wiping the little gripples of reality holding me from diving into insanity.Gioacchino? He was Jamie. Jamie King not…not…Gioacchino!My next door neighbor who I was prepared to be in a relationship with. The only constant in my life that made sense."Rocco put the gun down. S-she's innocent", Jamie, Gioacchino or whatever name he went by begged and my eyes stared at him unbelievably and the Glock he was pointing in our direction."No brother. She's ruining us", the man with a vise grip said in a low tone, the gun's nozzle digging into my skull like hot iron.I could taste death. I could already feel my heart thumping so loud with an ach

ZADE"Wait, wait, wait. The woman you've been seeing has amnesia, a kid, a boyfriend and now she has miraculously gotten her memories back? Forgive me for laughing but you were never cut out for love. Wait and dad disowned you? Seems like you have yourself caught up in a jam bro", Sawyer's voice came from the other end of the line as I carried my duffle bag into my truck looking at the mansion one more time.I sure as hell wasn't going to miss this place in the least bit.I hit the road and with Sawyer at the end of the line maybe the way to the airport wouldn't be that bad.I needed someone asshole talking to me about my mistakes so that they could dim out everything I felt at the moment.The fire station was going to be constructed under the supervision of Falcon, a man I had no doubts was more than capable especially after I had ensured everything was in order before I left.While I was going back to San Francisco a couple million dollars poorer well I had done what needed to be do

CLAIREZade was back and he was standing in my living room gazing at me as well as the other pairs of eyes that did.A ginger haired woman with two kids stood by the corner with her husband who still couldn't drop that look of I think I've seen a ghost.There was another blonde woman with the same same look...then another woman...then Zade, my parents and then him and everything didn't make sense.I opened my mouth to say something but the words wouldn't force themselves out as I looked at the man who stared at me the way Zade did.Like I was his entire world.Like I meant a lot more than I knew. And I especially couldn't breathe when I realized he looked exactly like Axel.Axel's father.But why was he staring at me like this was his first time doing so? Like he couldn't believe I was standing in front of him and Axel either.I didn't want to cry.Axel was in his room if he had heard any noise he would start making a ruckus and God knew I wasn't in the right mind to calm him down be

CORNELIUSFreedom.I never yearned for it. I never even wanted in the first place and here I was a two week free man.My family had really done it pulled all their connections enough to make sure I would only spend two years and some months in prison and not more.And when I had left prison with quite a nickname, my operations didn't stop.My life was rotting away anyway the least I could have done was taking a job that befit me as who I truly was.And I must admit taking down gangs while in prison was no easy feat. It had started as some sort of thing between me and Javi.I had saved him. Against my butter judgement I had saved him from the Gatos earning a week in solitary. A cold place that I rightfully earned and from then on I was fighting criminal gangs in prison killing a few just so I could end up in solitary alone like the monster I was.One year past and suddenly I was some hero to the inmates only they didn't know I did what I did because I wanted to punish myself because I

ZADEWhen I saw her the only thing i had thought about was how much fun I would have taking off that dress of her body and kissing every inch of her skin till I had enough of her.And when I had gifted the kid a saber plastic sword and he had hugged me I had wanted him to be part of my life too.I wanted both of them to be in my life and yet funny how life was a bitch waiting for the right moment to strike.The Smith sisters and other women getting too clingy for me to bear, I had gone upstairs.I loved attention. Attention from women but the only attention I needed at the moment was from the woman who's heart had swelled the minute her son cut the cake and took a fist of the cake before anyone could get a slice.On my way to Claire's room, I had almost stumbled to Vienna Smith which prompted me to hide in the next room.The next room didn't get any better when I heard the footsteps coming my way with so much urgency I had to hide.An unfortunately for me the only hide-able place arou

CLAIRE "Your skin is glowing", Riley commented, I hid behind the comment by trying to seem busy with the ingredients laid in front of me."Must be the new serum you got from the market the other day", Vienna Smith added taking another balloon in her hand.I preferred to remain silent for lack of a better lie to come up with. I couldn't just tell them that he you guys know what? I've been sleeping with Zade Cutler since last week and I've been fucking enjoy it.We've fucked in my own shop at the old observatory that's near completion, in his car and ooh did I mention he has a cabin just for us?If the that didn't shock them, then definitely telling them that I had been reckless enough with Zade not to use protection definitely would.Plus I wanted Zade and I to be a secret. If anyone got news of our relationship then people would talk and even if I wasn't majorly dependent on what people said for me to exist, I still didn't want the town to pressure me into something I didn't want.I

ZADEShe regretted it. If the empty space next to me didn't say so then I didn't know what did.Part of me still mad that she had gone without as much as leaving a note, the other part of me was still reliving what happened last night over and over again like it was all a dream I had woken up from.I fucked women ofcourse I had fucked them but what Claire and I had was way beyond fucking.Her moans, me grunting, her pussy against my dick and the feel of it. Damn it was like a vise grip holding me tight rendering me weak until using protection flew out my mind the minute I kissed her.Some part of me know she might have regretted it, the part that had decided to call it to a halt when I realized we might have gone too far but leave it to my dick, the one thing that had led me where I was at that moment to make a rash decision.But I didn't regret it. I would never regret it because it might have been the best might of my life and I was not joking when I said that.Come to think of it,

CLAIRESober or not, I enjoyed this.I could feel him everywhere, I could feel each and every thrust hut my hilt till the only coherent thing that came out of my mouth was his name.We could have gotten caught but I was too high on my orgasm and a little too drunk to care.His hand in my hair pulling at it till my scalp stung, I bucked my hips against his dick feeling it fill me to the absolute brim and his lips?He was kissing me, he sucking me, he was doing something with his fingers that had me on chokehold that had me squirming and dancing in delirium.When he finally came inside of me and I felt ropes and ropes of his seed inside me, I only took one large gulp of breathe before my whole body folded into his.And for a few minutes all I could do was feel his breath on my shoulder, feel his cock warm my insides and at the same time listen to the sound of his heart beat as it did with mine.I made an attempt to stand up not really sure what had happened but very sure I wanted more a

ZADE CUTLER"Okay, if the mayor loses and that's a good if, we'll go to Falcon's after this, you'll pick a guy any guy and go with him at his place with no protests"I had spotted them the minute they stepped foot on this God forsaken contest. On my way to atleast pass them a greeting or two, the brunette carrying Axel had uttered those words and I had slowly retreated to the back of the crown bumping into the one woman I didn't want to talk to in the first place.Courtney Neal. An ex who had suffocated me since Sunday.I was a piece of scum for dumping her the way I did but that was decades ago. While I'm not going to lie that she had matured into one gorgeous woman I was about as uninterested in her as I was with a soap dish.And all night she'd done one thing and one thing only.She had hovered over me like a pesky mosquito and while I tried my best to keep my pretences, laugh at her jokes once in a while, compliment her on her looks, my eyes still found someway into the crowd and

CLAIRE"Should we perhaps add sesame seeds?""Good God, Frida the pie is already baked", my father grunted taking his coat from the rack."Pie! Pie!" Axel clapped, I laughed.Running five minutes late, my mother was jittery. Last minute jitters my father called it.And my dearest father had stood watch over the pie like a sentinel. He was trying to ensure an incident like last time didn't happen.An incident where mom got nervous added a whole lot of cinnamon to the pie last minute that had made my dad hundred percent sure they would have won had she not done that.Not trying to raise their hopes up but this year's pie was a sure win. You could taste the pumpkin right in there, the texture of the pie itself was crusty and smooth but not like the monstrosity of last year.I would be cheering on if I didn't know for a fact that the Cutlers had this in the bag.Genevieve to this day was still the best pie maker, something I was suspicious about but decided to let it roll down my back.If
