Leah,I was yet to realize the gravity of the situation I was in. I didn't understand fully what it meant to attract the attention of Aiden Kingston, a caporegime of the Kingston family. The strongest crime family in the city.A man who was under one man and above many others. Normally, I wouldn't be searching online for him, but the situation called for a background check, and the news wasn't giving me much. Heck, the news didn't mention anything about them being a crime family!They had everyone starting from the politicians down to the police and business owners at their finger tips. So it wasn't surprising that there was no article about their illegal activities.The Kingston family ran a hotel, club, and casino business, but we all know that is not all it is. It was just a cover-up for their illegal business. I needed to know who I was dealing with and avoid him at all cost, but who would I ask. My parents would become suspicious if I asked about it.It was frustrating how on g
Leah,Liam: I won't be attending the wedding with you. Something urgent came up! Send my greetings to John. Love you ☺️I stared down at my phone as I reread the message. I should have known he was going to do this at the last moment! He even bought me a dress and acted like he was so excited about going for a social event with me.Maybe something urgent actually came up!I drove into the hotel where the reception was being held. The name 'Ceaser's ' was written in bold letters on the hotel. It was one of the biggest hotels in the city, and I should have done my research before coming. That way, I wouldn't be as shocked as I was when I ran into him.The valet, a young man with a charming smile, took the key from me as I got down from my car.As I walked through the hallway heading for the ballroom, I ran into one of my dad's business partner."Mrs. Carter," the man with grey hair called.He was with a younger woman who supported him by holding his arm."Mrs. Walsh," I corrected the ma
Aiden,She moaned, fisting the sheet as I thrust into her, hard and fast. Her eyes were shut tight, her breast bouncing in rhythm with each movement of my hips.My eyes roamed over her sweat-slick body. She was beautiful. So fucking beautiful with nothing on. Vulnerable, completely at my mercy, and mine to do with as I pleased. I could take her over and over again and it still wouldn't be enough. I leaned in, brushing the strands of hair that stuck to her face aside. Turning her face to mine, I kissed her. She parted her lips, allowing my tongue to slip inside and I deepened the kiss, exploring her mouth before trailing my lips down her neck. I nibbled on her skin and she whimpered, her body shivering under my touch.I traced a circle around a small mole on her breast with my tongue. "Third one," I murmured against her skin, before sucking and nibbling on her nipple, making her gasp as she arched off the bed.I thrust deeper, and she cried out, "Yes, right there," Her legs moved to wr
Leah,My phone lit up beside me on the bed, vibrating for the hundredth time. The room was dark, save for the brief, light that flashed each time a new notification came in, or the phone rang.I was curled up in a ball, hugging the pillow. Every muscle in my body ached, reminding me of last night. I wanted to forget. To pretend it didn't happen, but his touch lingered. My lips throbbed from his kiss, bruised and swollen. I had scrubbed myself in the shower, trying to wash it away, to erase his touch. But the water did nothing to quench the fire he had ignited within me. A fire that had been extinguished for so long I had forgotten it even existed.I pulled the pillow closer, my arm tightening around it. A sob escaped my lips, but no tears came. I had cried all my tears dry since I came back.I hated myself for how much I had wanted it, every forbidden second of it. I submitted to him willingly, allowing him to touch me in ways I hadn't been touched before. Shame coiled tightly in my st
Aiden,I didn't like giving excuses when I was given a job to do. He didn't say they must be brought to him alive, so it should have been easier. "I will give you a positive answer by next week.""Take your time, Aiden. I gave you two months after all. I know how much of a sly they are." He said. "I am sure you got a good number of them.""Yes,""Dominic here tells me you took two of his men hostage." The Don said, and I turned to Dominic, who was slicing me in bits with his eyes.I met his gaze head-on, and smirked tauting him for being a pussy. "I didn't take any of his men hostage.""You son of a bitch don't fucking mess with me," he snarled his nails digging into the arm of the cushion.How pathetic is he that he had to report me to the Don instead of coming to meet me personally? And besides, those two died a week ago."The only men I took were those that stole from me. I didn't think they had any connection to him." I explained. "Unless you had something to do with it, of cours
Leah,I clapped my hand over my mouth as I screamed into it, tears streaming down my eyes. I can't go home. Not after what I did. Not after betraying Liam.I know I am the worst. I know there isn't any justification for what I did. I feel ashamed of myself, and I don't know how to face him. What would he do if he saw me in this state? I can't even begin to imagine it.I was aware of my attraction to Aiden. I thought all I needed to do was fight it, avoid it, and I won't make a mistake. I underestimated how much my body craved his touch, and I gave in easily to lust. I didn't even put up a good fight. I just lay there while he touched me, only feeling guilty after the pleasure ended.My phone buzzed in my purse that lay on the passenger seat for the hundredth time. Each time it rang, my heart skipped a beat. What if it was Liam? I can't answer him.The traffic light turned green, and I drove mindlessly, finding myself on the familiar route towards my father's villa. That was the only pl
Leah,"He won't stay out for long," Matt assured me as he took the duffel bag I used to pack some of Liam's clothes from me. "He just needs time to sort things out."A tired smile stretched across my face as I nodded. It's been two weeks since he left home, and now he sends his friend to get some of his things. It doesn't seem to me like he plans on coming back soon. Then again, who am I to complain."You should call him." He suggested."I don't think that is a good idea." I said, remembering how angry he was that day. "Honestly, Leah, if you don't, he might stay out longer than either of you needs." He sighed. "Just give him a call. The least he can do is ignore you, right?""I will try calling him tonight." I finally said.He smiled at me, squeezing my arm. "I will make sure he picks, so don't worry.""Thank you, Matt. For everything."Later that night, I dialled his number. I bit my nail as I paced inside the room, my heart pounding against my chest as I waited for him to pick up.
Leah,I wanted to beg. To scream, but the sounds died a strangled death in my throat. My eyes, wide with horror locked on the terrifying face of a man I realised would be the last image I would see before I die.He grabbed my arm and yanked me up from the booth, my hand scrapping against the wood, sending a jolt of pain up my arm, and I winced."Kill her already, and let's be on our way."The man at the door holding the bloodied man said."Not yet, I finally found a plaything, and I will take my time with her." He chuckled with a sadistic amusement."Please," I cried. "I will give you anything. Just let me go."He slapped me so hard my vision blurred, and a high-pitched whine filled my ears. Hot tears trailed down my cheeks, and I could taste them mixing with my blood. I pressed my lips together, scared as he leaned in, his face twisted with rage. His rotten breath filled my nostrils, making me recoil. "Shut up, bitch." He snarled."We have wasted a lot of time, Storm is calling." The
