RAYANA POV
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was triple, obsidian orbs staring at me with so much tenderness I began to melt right there and then. The gaze of them was soft, gentle; a concoction of comfort and reliance. Alejandro’s hand traveled from the path next to my neck before threading his fingers in my hair, then smiled that lazy smile that always made me weak in the knees.
He was such a beautiful man; a stark contrast to what I saw last night.
Last night, I had seen him in his might, the horrible things he was capable of doing. And just thinking about it all left me on the precipice of indecision. I didn’t know whether I was to love him more or fear him.
“M.m.” He grumbled

Chapter 67RAYANA POVHot steamy sex and three orgasms later, we hopped into the lift side by side. Alejandro was dressed in a nice black tracksuit with Nike trainers, his broad shoulders stretching the material so thin that I could trace the curves and lines of his muscles. He was just so big, so manly, so right. And to see him in anything but his expensive suits… That made a trail of wetness to pull between my legs and my stomach clench in a delicious way. I was also clad in a pair of black leggings, a sports bra, and some trainers as well and I looked so small against his big build. My hair was pulled in a messy bun and I was feeling so pumped up I could take up a whole army of the royal guards if they appeared in front of me.

Chapter 68ALEJANDRO POVMolten lava leaked into my stream with a haunting stance. I rolled my head on my neck trying to rid it of the sudden stiffness that held me captive. Having the attention of the Bratva was bad enough on its own, but having the Queen’s meant shit had really hit the fan. “Come. Playtime’s over.” I took Rayana’s hand before jumping off the ring, then held my hands up and caught her before settling her on her feet. She had a puzzled look on her face but didn’t probe until we were inside the lift and it was soaring skyward. “What is it? You are scaring me.” She said in a small voice. I turned to look at her, feeling a muscle working in my jaw. “You

Chapter 69RAYANA POVA rattling shudder rolled down the length of my spine as we rolled down the long, narrow, and carpeted hallway inside Buckingham Palace. It felt like forever since I had stepped foot in here and I hated the fact that I wasn’t so thrilled about being back to my office. If it were any other day, I would have been on the fucking cloud nine. “You alright?” Alejandro’s hand dropped to my lower back, and the heat from his palm seemed to permeate right through my skin and disperse the concentrated tension down there. I let out a huge puff of breath before staring at him in my peripheral, then gave him an unsure nod. I had wanted to carry out the press conference in my own time and on my own terms: when I felt ready to take over the world again. But that visit from my aunt had me sleepless for days, gnawing and churning me from the inside. The disapproval inside her voice had been deadly; but despite all of that, there was no way I would undo what I did. Yes, I und

Chapter 70ALEJANDRO POVPain sliced through me. The kind of agony that made me weak in the knees.I’d fucking seen that bloody red dot as it danced around her. But I was fucking slow. Too slow to react and was not faster than a damn bullet. Horror landed inside of me in all its form as I raced up the raised deck, watching with eyes snapped wide as Rayana went lax in her seat. Her head rolled to the side, and her eyes found mine just before she closed them and collapsed. I caught her body before it could collide with the floor, then placed my hand on the reddened spot where her blood was coming out in gallons. The tether of her pain echoed all around me, and I could all bu

PROLOGUEALEJANDRO POVThe tension in the room was thick and cloying, the air dense and heavy to breathe. I pinched the bridge of my nose and stared at the small chair that was placed in the middle of the office, curtains closed and shadows hiding underneath the blinding light of the crystal chandelier above. It was a good place, the one grandmothers used to have. What enticed me was not the chair… No.It was the bambolina dressed in a white dress, hair pulled in a tight bun on top of her head. She had on her feet white stiletto heels with red bottoms, and her face held no emotions whatsoever. “Signorita, please. I did not mean to…”“To betray my husband and I? I know.” She nodded with mock understanding, then pulled the white gloves from the pocket of her white fur coat that was draped behind the chair, and dropped them to her lap.My blood ran cold with what came next!“They had my family. My wife and my daughter… I didn’t know what to do.” The traitor bawled from the floor in fr

RAYANA POVIgnorance is bliss!And so were the times I pretended to be one of the million citizens of Great Britain without the duties and the expectations of my ‘holier than thou’ last name following closely behind me like a shadow. Very unfortunately, those times did not end well; it so happened that every time I stepped out of the shell that had cocooned me my entire life, things just had to go to shit!And to shit they go. I raised my head as the heavy metal door slammed shut a few yards from where I was canoodled on the cold floor, blankly staring at my sparkly two-toned green and silver Jimmy Choo’s. Something about the gems studded into the fabric fascinated me!“Get up, princess. Looks like today is your lucky day.” The mean Latino officer intoned as she jiggled heavy cell keys, the sound creating a hollow echo inside my brain. The deadlock bolted into place before she yanked the bar door open, and then held it ajar. I got up from my pitiful position and straightened the non

Chapter 2ALEJANDRO POVThe clock’s timely ticks and tocks filled in the silent space, the words ‘Tell me about yourself’ lingering in the air between us. Everything about being here left a bitter taste in my mouth, and made me ache for something entirely different. I came here because somebody suggested I needed it. I needed to think about something; anything other than blood and white powder and reigning the underworld, yet all the red-haired bambolina did for the past eleven minutes and thirty-seven seconds was flash her undoubtedly fake tits in my direction and lift her skirt inches higher up her thighs.A universal ‘I want to fuck you’ sign women flashed whenever they wanted someone up in their nooks and crooks!I could fuck her right where she sat; considering I had already pictured all the ways I could switch positions in her like I was doing some yoga. Yoga! Maybe I should try that shit. Maybe it would ease the blood lust and make me think like a human!Tick. Tock. Tick. Toc

Things along the lines of how ‘he’ was going to fuck Rayana’s corpse after they delivered it to him. Like I would ever let that happen. Not in this life or the next. Rayana was mine to tame, mine to train, mine in all shapes and forms of the word. No fucker in this world or beyond would stake a claim on her while I lived.

Chapter 64RAYANA POVI still wasn’t sure where all bravery came from, or where I got the guts to stand in front of the most dangerous man in all of the UK and call him up on his bullshit. Maybe it was from the fact that I had the devil incarnate standing guard by my side and ready to maul and maim if he so ever tried to pull any other shitty stunt, but still… I couldn’t believe I stood against the man who cooked people for a living and handed him his shit on the platter. After a little back and forth, the chef managed to convince Alejandro that his little proposal was worth taking. I wanted to believe his little act of loyalty was his patriarchal instincts kicking in, but I knew better than to delude myself into that.

Chapter 63RAYANA POVWhen the door slipped closed, the first thought that infested my mind was that I was not staying behind! Fuck everything else. The times I had been without Alejandro, something lethal always happened, something that always resulted in a near-death experience. And I would be damned. “Where are you going?” Charlotte sat up straight when I jumped out of the bed, her face puffy and tear-stained. One look at her and I knew I owed her my life. Which meant I wasn’t going to sit around here and wait to be fed with the news of why I was hunted by the Russians. I needed to hear it all with my own ears, and then decide what I was going to do about it!
