03| Arnica.
Have you ever felt like life continuously keeps throwing you curveballs to see how well you can dodge them? Because I do, and it fucking sucks.I run through the revolving doors of the hotel, eager to put as much distance between Maverick and me.Though my world is still slightly spinning, and my stomach is churning, I refuse to believe that I willingly married Maverick. I rip the wedding band free from my finger and toss it onto the pavement.There is no way in hell that I am going to wear a ring that relentlessly screams I am lawfully shackled to a Quinn.Looking up and down the sidewalk, I silently begin to panic as I realise that I have no idea where I am or how I will get home. I left my shoes and purse upstairs in Mavericks’ room, and I have no intentions of going back up there to retrieve them.I was lucky to escape him this time around, the next… I doubt he will let me out of his sight so easily.A black SUV pulls up against the sidewalk and the front window rolls down. “Mrs.

Confusion engulfs Arnicas’ beautiful face as she registers what I’ve just said.“You own Fusion?” She spits out in a hushed tone, shoving my shoulder before she tries to scramble out of my embrace.I cling onto her tightly, “I do, and before you ask, no it wasn’t a coincidence as to why you were given the job on the spot with no previous bartending experience.” I admit, knowing, I may have gone the extra mile to lure her to the club after finding out that she was jobless and on the verge of losing her flat.I also happen to know that it was Matthias who got her fired from her last job in marketing, making it almost impossible for her to find another job with the hopes that she would come crawling back to him after all the pain and misery he bestowed upon her.Matthias fucking Arnicas’ best friend in a very public place was low, even for him. But I also know that he hasn’t been the same since she walked away from him and refused to acknowledge him when he would randomly show up at her

If I'm going to be blunt with myself, I need to confess that I don’t know how to feel or act around Maverick.He's a different breed compared to the other two Quinns that I've had the misfortune of meeting. A part of me feels like he wouldn’t go out of his way to personally hurt or embarrass me. But because he is a man who lives by strict rules, I sense that he will have a field day making sure I obey the rules he sets out for me to abide by, and he’d take even greater pleasure in disciplining me if I defy those certain rules.But it's the way he looks at me that confuses me the most… I don't know, I could be reading too much into it.However, it’s like I’m the only person he sees in a room filled with people which is odd because the only room I remember us being in together was the Fantasy Room, and he was obviously there because he saw that I was in trouble and needed saving. But then I have to remind myself that he is a Quinn and everything he says and does is already pre-planned

I step outside of the SUV, rubbing the back of my nape as I tilt my head and stare up at my father's mansion. My brow darkens into a scowl as I continue to glare at the looming stone structure. Mine is bigger... A lot bigger. It may seem unorthodox to express such a sentiment, but it is undeniably true and I take great pride in my current position. I have achieved success through my own efforts, without relying on others for opportunities. My father on the other hand was given his seat at the head of the Elite Family table because he is the eldest son. The Elite table is made up of five crime lords with powerful names you dare not whisper out loud. It gives you the whole... You speak of the Devil and he shall appear vibes. Exhaling deeply as if I can rid myself of the stress that consumes me, I look at Dan my driver who is standing next to me in silence. “Keep the engine running. It looks like Father has sent his soldiers on a wild goose chase to keep this meeting a secret.”

Arnica Savage isn't just Matthias's ex. She is also a Lorenzo, the abandoned daughter of the bastard Lorenzo standing before me. And I know it is my father's voice that has haunted her nightmares since she was just six years old. Her thoughts are consumed by a haunting past. A past that binds us together, leaving her unable to recall the true reason behind my father's prominent role in her nightmares. Arnica, a Lorenzo by blood, poses a significant threat to Tessa's chances of inheriting what remains of Gio's family name.In exchange for the life of my sister, I was presented with the opportunity to take the life of Gios' daughter to keep the peace between us. And due to Tessa's act of treachery, I eagerly jumped at the offer.However, eight months ago when I arrived at Gios' villa to claim what I was owed, I was informed that Arnica Savage was the daughter being presented to me. As I heard the name, a sense of familiarity washed over me. Later that night, as I reflected on the d

I step out of the fancy slipper-shaped bath, wrapping a heated cotton towel around my body, and I move to stand in front of the vanity mirror. Great, my eyes are all bloodshot from the tears I spilled while I failed to relax in the tub. I don't want to be here, but it seems I'm the one who made my bed, and now I have to lay in it. For the love of God, my memory of last night's events is still groggy. I have managed to recall that I bumped into Maverick after I farewelled Kenneth at Fusion. I was supposed to meet my Tinder date at the new fancy Greek restaurant that just had its grand opening last week. It is why I was wearing a dress and heels. But I got cold feet after I stopped at the club to have a quick drink to help loosen my nerves, and Kenneth started yapping about how gorgeous I looked. And that my date would be a fool to not strip me down and have his wicked way with me on the side of the building that has no camera or lights. My hand had gone straight to my stomach a

For crying out loud, what has gotten into me?Touching Arnica is setting my soul ablaze, and the way my heart is pounding loudly in my ears is forming butterflies in the pit of my stomach. A weird tingling sensation is touching every inch of my flesh and I don’t ever want it to stop.I know I am overreacting about her and Levi. I just... can't help it. I'm jealous; deliriously envious, and I've never felt this way about anyone or anything in the twenty-eight years of my existence.And it hits differently with her. If I thought I was head over heels in love with Tessa, my gods, was I wrong? Because she never made me feel like this… not even close.“I swear to the Gods, Maverick, I will make your life a living hell if you don't release me.” My beautiful wife sneers with turmoil and annoyance gleaming in her almond-shaped eyes. Making her look more gorgeous than ever.“Is that a promise, kitten?” I ask hoarsely, feeling my cock harden beneath my slacks, and I pull her body flush aga

Did he truly just say that he was only mine to hate?What a douche.I avert my gaze from Maverick, determined not to let him catch me being fixated on his ass as he exits the room. I then proceed to tidy up the mess in the kitchen and I can still feel a tingling sensation on the spot where he kissed my forehead.I despise the sensation of his touch as if my body is on the verge of liquefying under his grasp. Despite his murderous nature and the likely sinister origins of this house, there is an undeniable allure that surrounds him and the dark history of this place.It’s most likely built and furnished from blood money.Knowing this and being around him, I can’t deny that I feel drawn to him like a moth to a flame – a moth that gets off on being burnt.It shouldn’t surprise me that he is a killer. I mean... Matthias used to tell me stories of the devastation Maverick was capable of leaving behind in his wake. And a large part of me at the time was hoping that Matthias was exaggerat
