It was around 3 in the early morning, Amara stood in front of her window, looking out with her phone presses against her ear.Behind her were carton boxes, lined up in front of her bed.Minutes after she had placed the call, the line connected and Lorenzo’s voice filled her ear.“Amara? Jesus Christ
Trying his number, Amara listened to the automated voice speak while chewing on her lower lip.Where could he have gone without telling her?The last time they spoke was through text message when he informed her of James departure-Oh no. Amara felt chills run down her spine. What if something happe
“Where-?”“Gilded Grub.” He interrupted her question before she could even ask. “It’s a new fast food restaurant that opened down town.”“Food isn’t important now, Elijah. I need to get to work.”“You can’t work if you don’t have food in your stomach, so we need to get you some food.”Amara parted h
Ah, so he was already setting things up for his perfect new life, Amara thought, but, contrary to how she had imagined this moment, all the pain, fear and hurt she had always thought she feel, she felt normal.It was like the feelings she had for Tobias for the past 6 years had been taken away from
Celestine grinned like an excited baby. When was the last time she had given Tobias a massage?It had been quite a while. Even in the past few days, he had been distant. She was almost convinced that he was slowly falling out of love with her. But then he pulled that proposal stunt in the VIP room o
Moving on, there’s Melanie, the second in command. She’s totally different from Amara; loud, dramatic and the fun house of the group. She was different in a good way. She was often friendly, grinning from ear to ear each time you’d catch a glimpse of her, but that didn’t mean becoming her friend was
An address was immediately sent after the text message. Amara’s grip on her phone tightened as she felt all the fear she had been warding off, concerning Duncan’s situation, come true.She couldn’t believe it. It was one thing when that bastard tried hurting her, but now, Duncan, someone who wasn’t
“Seat,” He pointed at the chair behind her, set perfectly beside Duncan’s.“Fuck you.” She spat.“If you want your precious assistant to stay alive, you better do as I say.”Amara was still not convinced, so James pulled a gun out from the waist band of his trousers and pointed it at her head.She d
Fiona nodded her head and Melanie, with a proud look on her face, smiled.Elvis looked at his granddaughter, and his lips tugged upwards. “You look beautiful.” He complimented. “Your mother and father wouldn’t be more happier.”“Thank you, grandfather.” Amara said with a happy smile.“Are you ready?
Elijah stood in the cold, hands tucked into the pocket of his winter coat and eyes watching the very first snowfall of the year.It had been a year; a whole year since he left Italy, one year since he last saw Amara’s face and eight months since he Melanie handed him the invitation to she and Tobias
A soft smile tugged on Tobias’s lips as he watched Amara’s sleeping face.After spending nearly an hour and a half in the bathtub, washing each other’s body and kissing every now and then, Tobias had finally helped her out, and after putting on her undergarments, dressed her in one of the dresses he
“Hmm, it seems you’re still sensitive down there, Princess.” Tobias teased and Amara, through the cracks of her finger, glared at him.“Shut up.”“As you wish,” He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. The feeling of his lip against her skin made Amara shiver in a good way “But, first,”He
“Yeah, yeah, sure.” Amara rolled her eyes.Tobias leaned forward and captured her lips. He kissed her a few times, before he pulled back.“How about we continue last night after breakfast, Love?”His suggestion earned a blush from Amara.“You’re such an asshole.” She said and smacked his arm once ag
Amara learnt the hard way that someone like Tobias wasn’t a person you should ever tease.Round after round, their moans echoed and the smell of sex was pungent. It was sometime around 2 in the morning, 3 hours after they had returned from their date, and Tobias was still going at it like they had j
Tobias made it to his place in record time. He was quick to park his car and he didn’t waste a minute before opening the door for Amara and leading her inside his house.The moment the door closed, he pushed her against the door, and without waiting, kissed her.His kiss was deep and demanding, but
“Why the fuck do you have a gun on your yacht, Tobias?” She asked, a look of shock on her face.When she saw him reaching for the gun, she tried to grab it, but Tobias was faster than her.“Don’t play this game,” She warned. “It’s not worth it, I forgive you. There’s no need to-““I won’t hurt mysel
It was just as Amara had predicted.The location of their date turned out to be in the middle of the ocean, taking place on none other than Tobias’s private yacht.Waiters and a few musicians, for entertainment sake, we’re invited. At the center of the yacht’s first floor, was their dining table, de
