“What kind of car would you like?”

“Um.” I glance at Stace. “I need something with really, really dark, tinted windows.” I pause for a moment. “Like black windows. Oh and air conditioning.”

She raises her brow. “Sneaking around are we?”

My eyes widen and I glance back at Stace. Oh shit, what can I say? “Yes, on my husband… with my lover.” I tilt my chin towards Stace and her eyes rise to him again. He sits with his legs spread and his muscles on show, the epitome of an alpha.

She smirks and widens her eyes. “Boy, I don’t blame you,” she whispers.

I smile. “I know,” I whisper back.

She types into her computer. “Have fun while you can, I say.”

“I am.” I smirk. If only she knew how much.

She reads her computer screen. “Okay, so we have a UV, a sedan…”

“Hmm.” I pause for a moment. “Anything else?”

She hits a few more buttons and raises her eyebrows. “We have a black Ferrari.”

I smirk. “A Ferrari?”

She looks up at me and raises her eyebrow. “If you’re going down, you probably should do it

    I have told some porkies in my life.He finally gets the sock undone and fiddles around before he takes them out of the sock and lays them out in the bottom of the locker.“Holy fuck,” he whispers in amazement.I smile proudly. “I did good?” I know I did, but I just want to hear him say it out loud.He kisses me quickly on the lips. “You did great, babe.”He points to the five smallest and I nod as he picks them up. I put my purse into the locker and he loads them into the change compartment.I smile broadly and his hand drops to my hipbone before he kisses me again, his lips lingering over mine. “We should celebrate tonight.”“What do you want to do?” I smile.He shrugs. “Find a bar where they play that hippy song you love so much.”I smile goofily at him as hope blooms in my chest. Another date. This is the first time that I can remember being truly happy. He knows my story, my fucked up story, and yet he likes me anyway.

    “You didn’t tell me you loved me today,” he says softly.I smirk. What? “I didn’t know I had to.”“You do.”I raise my eyebrows. “At least I said it once.”He kisses me playfully. “It’s not in my vocabulary.”My mouth drops open and I laugh out loud. “You are completely shit at this.”“Am not.” He ravages my neck with his mouth and I squeal in laughter.“Stop it.” I laugh as I struggle to get away from him.“Say it,” he demands.“No.” I laugh as I try to buck him off me.“Say it.”“Take me dancing.” I laugh as he bites my neck hard.“I’m taking you to bed.” He growls into my skin.“You’re taking me for granted.” I squeal as I try to get him off me.His mouth drops open and he pulls back to look at my face. “Is that what you think?”“Well, I do seem to spend a lot of time underneath you.” I smirk.He grabs me roughly on the behind and drags me underneath him. “I don’t hear you complaining, and for the record, I’m often underneath you, too.”“I’m not complaining. I’m saying I want to go

    She rolls onto her back and thinks for a moment and I put my open hand onto her stomach as I wait for her answer. “I suppose I would just want all the normal things any girl wants.”“Like what?”She shrugs. “A husband who loved me, white picket fence in the country, two kids.” She smiles wistfully. “A dog.” Her voice trails off. “I always wanted a dog.”I watch her. “You never had a dog?”She shakes her head softly as if ashamed. “No.”Sadness fills me. A simple thing like having a dog is her dream. We lay in silence for a moment and I stare up at the ceiling and pull her body across mine. I kiss her forehead. “Sounds nice,” I murmur. “Where would this white picket fence house be?”“I don’t know, somewhere with rolling green acres,” she murmurs, as if far away.I flicker my eyes over to her. “Could we build my mom a house on our land?” I smirk.She pulls back to look at my face and smiles broadly. “Depends.”“On what?”“On whether she likes dogs.”I laugh out loud and she leans up on

    “Did you see where Mr. Williams’ wife went?”He frowns as he thinks for a moment. “Yes, she caught a cab.”“Was she alone?” I frown as a million thoughts run through my mind.“Yes, I believe so, sir.”“Do you know where she went?”“She asked the driver to take her to The Snake Pit,” the doorman replies.My face drops. “Are you sure?” I frown.He nods. “Yes.” He hesitates for a moment. “I thought it was odd.”What is she doing now? Why does she go crazy and ruin my plans every fucking time? I hurry out the front and jump into the backseat of the cab.“Where to?” the driver asks.“The Snake Pit.” I glare out the window as the cab drives me through the night. I cannot believe her. I cannot fucking believe her. I shake my head in annoyance. Every time she gets a pea brain idea in her head, she runs off on a tangent and ruins everything. My mind goes to Vikinos and her damn stupid shooting spree that nearly got us killed—still could get us killed, if we are being honest. I had that all wor

    “Where are you from?” the waitress asks, interrupting my thoughts.“All over,” I reply, then I think for a moment. Maybe she will know something. “Tell me, if I had some jewellery to sell, where would I sell it?”“What kind of jewellery?” she asks.“I have an inheritance to sell. Gold, diamonds, a few rubies and sapphires.”Her eyes dance with delight. “An inheritance?”I nod and I know she knows that there is no inheritance.“Most people sell things to Big Al.”“Big Al?” I ask. “Where is he?”“Teusaquillo.”I nod, knowing that’s not far from here. “Do you have a number for him?”She smirks as her eyes hold mine. “Don’t you want my number?”I lick my lips; it would be so easy… stop it. “Not really,” I reply. “I’m here on work.”She raises her brow in disappointment.“Can I have the number?” I ask.“Sure,” she replies, dejected.

    “I’m done with living my day as if it’s my last.”He storms off. I stand and watch him disappear into the darkness down the busy street. I let out a deep, sad breath and my eyes fall to the card on the cement and I bend and pick it up.Downtown City JewellersEngagement Ring SpecialistWhat? I frown. “What does this have to do with…?”I close my eyes. Oh God. He took one diamond.Just one.“Stace,” I yell as I look up. I take off in the direction he walked in. I look around frantically through the busy street. I can’t see him.“Stace,” I call through the people. “Stace!”What have I done? I run to the end of the street as I frantically search for him. I look back to where I came from. I can’t believe I just…With my heartbeat hammering fast, my face screws up in tears. Oh no, what I have I done?“Stace,” I cry. I take out my phone and ring him, but it rings out, so I text him.Talk to me.What’s going on?I call him again and no answer, damn it. Why do I always fuck things up? I bounc

    The street is busy and bustling and I make my way out, knowing the little red dot is here somewhere, I just have to find it. I think it’s just up here on the right. I keep my head down and walk as fast as I can, aware that at any moment I may be spotted.The red dot seems to be underneath me, and I frown as I do a full circle on the spot.Where the hell is he? I walk into the bar on the left hand side of the street and search with no success. I stare at the phone and frown it says he is literally above me. I look around, and over by the wall I find a staircase and tentatively walk up. I smile broadly when I get to the top.A bar. I walk through and the first person I see is Stace, sitting alone at a bench seat at the back with a beer as his companion.I approach the table. “Mind if I join you?” I ask.His eyes rise up to meet mine and he shrugs without answering.I slide in next to him. “They’ve found us.”He frowns as his eyes flicker to me. “How do you know?”“I saw Stucco and one o

    My heart is trying to escape from my chest.If you shoot anyone, you are going to jail. Stace’s words from earlier echo in my mind. I don’t want to go through all this shit to end up in a Columbian prison for life.Don’t shoot anybody. Just don’t shoot anybody, I remind myself.Where the frigging hell are you? I get to the row of shops and start to look around frantically. The street is still so busy. Why are there so many damn people around? Actually, that’s a good thing. I can’t imagine how frightening this would be if the town were deserted. A police car drives slowly past and I feel like jumping out in front of them and asking for their help, but I know they can’t help us. Nobody on Earth can help us. I walk past an alley between two restaurants and I peer up into the shadows. I frown and stop on the spot.Three men are up the other end in the darkness, and one of them is Stace.Fuck.I immediately slink up against the wall in the shadows near the opening and listen.

    I bought him that black Ferrari that he loved so much. Funnily enough, he hardly ever drives it. It’s a trophy car and a waste of money, if I’m totally honest. Stace has started a development company. If he had his time again, he would have gone back into The Marines, but now that he has a criminal record, that wasn’t an option. He’s doing well and has four men working for him. Sometimes he flies a helicopter for fun on the weekend if he has the time.Like a whirlwind, they come through the kitchen back door. Seb is bouncing his basketball and Stace is carrying groceries in bags that they have just bought.“Dada!” Molly screams in excitement and he laughs and scoops her up and spins her around in excitement.The ball bounces continually and I shake my head. What is it about ball bouncing that drives me so mad? “Stop bouncing that ball, please, Seb,” I call.“Yeah, okay,” he replies from the lounge room as he turns on the television.Stace puts Molly down and she runs off to play with

    I open the blue, arch-shaped door and we walk inside. The flooring is tiled in all different shades of green in big diamond shapes, and the walls are a warm terracotta colour. It is the epitome of South America and exactly why I wanted this house when I first looked at it.It’s warm, earthy, and inviting.“This is the lounge room.” I gesture to the lounge room and we walk through the hallway. “This is the kitchen.”He looks around the timber kitchen and smiles. “Where is the laundry?” he asks.“Oh, through here.” I walk through the hallway and show him the laundry and he looks around. His dark eyes come back to my face.“Where is our bedroom?”Nerves flutter through me. It’s been a long time. “Upstairs,” I whisper.He takes me by my hand, leads me back to the staircase, and we continue upstairs.“Last door on the right,” I murmur.He puts the puppy down and walks me up the hall to our bedroom. His eyes scan the space.There’s a large bed with white linen and timber furnishings. It’s s

    Stace nods as he drags me to my feet, his hand holding my jaw the way he wants me and his tongue caressing my lips.Oh God, I’ve missed this.“We need to go home,” he whispers.“Diamonds.” I smile as I wrap my arms around his broad muscular shoulders. He’s much bigger than he was before.He walks me backwards until I am up against the wall, his hands on my face, his hard length up against my stomach. “I couldn’t care less about the diamonds,” he breathes into my mouth. “It’s you that I want.”His mouth drops to my neck and I close my eyes in pleasure as his whiskers dust my skin. We kiss again and he’s right, we really do need to get home. I could come on the spot.“Diamonds and home,” I breathe.He bends and picks up our new family member and we walk into the office and up to reception.“We are here to empty our deposit box,” he says. He hands over his identification and I watch him. He’s different. Harder, yet softer, if that makes sense. His body has changed from all of his weight

    “I don’t want you to deal with this alone.”“I have been alone my whole life.”“Shelly,” he whispers sadly. “I fucked up, but I can fix it.”“It’s broken for good, Todd,” I whisper. “We can’t be fixed.”A knock bangs at the door. “Hello, Shelly. My name is Erica and I am a psychologist. We had an appointment booked for this morning.”Grateful for the interruption, I smile. “Yes, of course. Come in, please.”I’ve been in rehab for two weeks. It’s been six weeks since I was shot. I finally got the message through to Todd and he stopped coming to see me, although he still rings me every morning and night. The psychologist has diagnosed me with Stockholm syndrome, and so, for now, I am just playing along and agreeing with themSix long weeks since I lost the other half of me.Does he think about me all the time, like I do him?

    I am woken up by Todd. “Good morning, Shelly.” He smiles broadly.“Hi.”“You look better today. How are you feeling?”“Fine.”I stare at him for a moment. I have to know. “What happened to the man?”He frowns. “That animal has been charged with your kidnapping and rape. He has been deported to Columbia for trial.”My face falls.“I hope they give him the death sentence.”“He didn’t rape me.”“Yes, yes, he did. His semen was found in a rape kit test carried out on you. DNA testing has come through.”“It was consensual,” I snap.His face falls. “You don’t know what you are saying, angel.”“Yes, I do.”“No, you don’t. You have been kidnapped and beaten into submission by that freak.”“His name is Stace,” I snap. “Don’t speak about him like that.”His eyes meet mine.“I’m in love with him,” I whisper.He screws up his face. “You’re not in love with him. He has brainwashed you. You are traumatized.”“I’m not in love with you.”“Yes, you are,” he commands. “You have been through a lot.”“I’

    A siren rings out from outside, and suddenly, after a commotion, ten policemen come storming through the doors in full swat gear.They run to me. “Roshelle.” The policeman unties me. “Are you okay?” He lifts his face to meet mine. “What happened?”“A man came in and shot him,” I whisper.“What man?” the policeman asks.“He left in a car,” I whisper as my eyes find Stace.The hit men came through.I need to cover for them because they just saved our lives.Iinhale deeplyas I try to get comfortable. I’m half asleep, groggy, and incoherent.“Shelly,” a familiar voice whispers.I frown in the semi-lit room.

I’m in a hospital room.What? Where am I?“Shelly. Oh my God. I thought I was going to lose you,” he whispers as he drops his head to rest on the bed.I frown. What the hell? “Where?” I stop

    Antonio looks out into the darkness of the factory and I can see his evil mind ticking.They know I’m telling the truth… in a roundabout way.“That’s why I went crazy on the day you were supposed to arrive. I knew that they were going to blame him for their crime.” I shake my head as I try to talk my way out of this. “I knew he had literally hours to live.”“He still does.” My father sneers.“He didn’t do anything wrong. If anything, you owe him. He saved me from your animals. He’s going to jail for a very long time. Leave him out of this,” I plead.Antonio glares into space. “Bring Stucco to me.” He growls.“He’s minutes away,” one of the other men replies. “He just texted through.”Antonio and my father’s eyes meet again. I fiddle with the rope tying my hands behind my back as I try to subtly break free.“Walk the perimeter.” Antonio growls. Two men immediately walk outside to check our surroundings. He dials a number on his cell phone and he waits for an answer.“Hello.”He listens

    “I want you to marry Antonio.”My eyes hold his. I need to distract him long enough for her to run. “Why?” I ask.He starts to pace again as he puts his hand behind his back. “I told you, I’m dying.”Can’t come soon enough.My eyes turn to the men around me. Six in total. Four I was in the car with, and then the two guards with guns. His bodyguards.I start to slowly look around for the exits. “Why do you need me?” I ask.“I want to hand what I have worked so hard for down to my blood son.”“He doesn’t want your filthy money.”His dark eyes hold mine, and he steps forward toward me. The fear rises in my throat. No matter how much training I have done, nothing can cure the fear I have of this monster.“Your son will take over the family business.”“I don’t have a son.”“Yet.” He smiles darkly. “But you will.”I shake my head. “I would rather die than hand a child to you.”He smiles. “And you will as soon as I get my child.”Fear starts to close my throat. “You’re pathetic, can you hear

    My blood starts to simmer, and with renewed fury I stand and turn the handle to get back out onto the floor.Locked.Fuck it.I stare at it for a moment, knowing I have to go to the bottom to get out. My adrenaline starts to pump. I am going to have one of two welcoming parties.The police or Vikinos’ men.I want the men. I want my revenge and I’m going to fucking get it.I’m furious. I glance at the time on my phone. The police should be here within fifteen minutes to pick Rosh up, hopefully sooner, and then I can start my attack.With Rosh safe and out of harm’s way, I can go back to the original plan. I start to jog down the steps. We are on the tenth floor, so it is a fair way down. Two flights down I hear a noise in the level underneath me and I stop on the step. I peer over the handrail as I try to see what’s coming up the stairs.Bang, bang. Clatter.I frown. What is that? I lean over the rail again and see a maintenance man cleaning the rail and I pick up the pace. I jog down
