VALERIE.It’s been nearly two weeks since we’ve returned. Since then, things have been extremely hectic. The tension has been rising, with Zade working on trying to break the code on the system that controlled the microchips.Another thing that brought great concern… considering the Arkan had access
Cassian chuckles and raises his hands in surrender. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything by it. I do apologise. I know things are hard Valerie… but know that I’m not against you or your people.” He reaches out placing a hand on my shoulder giving it a squeeze, my eyes flash and I grip his wrist, insta
VALERIE.There are some men who look sexy in a suit, a few who look handsome, even a rare few who look like gods, and then there’s Zade.I imagined him in a suit, and knew he would look so damn sexy, but what I didn’t know was that I’d want to drop to my knees and let him do whatever he wanted to me
Joan blushes when Zade’s eyes flick to her and her eyes widen. “Oh my, hello…”She offers him a hand, but he simply gives her a nod, looking away. I do the same, noticing we are getting a lot of attention and the majority of that is from women gawking at Zade.I honestly cannot blame them, thinking
ZADE.Valerie’s demeanour changes and she leans into me a little more, her heart thundering.‘His expression is off,’ she murmurs through the link, kissing me sensually. I wrap my hands around her, protectively kissing her back.‘I’m not surprised. There’s more to him than meets the eye and we might
Silence falls around us, but I ignore them looking ahead.It’s an oil painting, but any hand-painted picture requires one’s presence and being around something leaves a scent. I’m sure I can sniff out who it belongs to if they’re here, anyway.“We will start at fifty dollars.”No one speaks and I ra
VALERIE.Zade’s hands clamp over my ears as the shrill, ear-splitting noise feels like it will tear my head right apart. His hands take the edge off but it’s excruciating, making it hard to breathe.What about his ears!Turning, I’m about to cover his ears when he shakes his head, his eyes trained a
Well, I’m ready to do what he wanted Anthony to do. But to do that, I need to get out of this hall.Somehow.And fast.I look around, trying to assess which door to use when all exits are surrounded by queues of people panicking as more gunshots are fired.“You can put on any front you like, Owen. I
I hear footsteps and wipe my eyes furiously and take a deep breath, refusing to let him see how I feel. He steps into the room, hands in pocket, carrying an arrogance as he looks me over.“I have questions.”“You kidnapped me!” I snarl.“You’re not a kid. Sit down.”“I don’t listen to-”The next thi
~ MILENA ~The bullet pierces through his chest and I gasp, my heart shattering as I watch the blood drip down his white shirt. It hurts, so fucking much. Not that I shot him, not that I know he could have dodged it if he had moved, but it’s the shock in those bright blue eyes when he realised I sho
Staring back at me in photo after photo is none other than the man I love, the man I have lived with for nearly a year. The man who killed my brother.One and the very same.“No… NO!” I scream, kicking the photos away from me. Is this a sick joke? I jump out of bed, rush to the bathroom and manage t
~ MILENA ~My eyes open, my vision blurry. I rub my eyes. I know I’m in a bed. It feels familiar, and for a moment I wonder if I’m back at my place but… my bed isn’t this large or comfortable.I sit up and look around, my heart hammering as realisation settles in. I know why it feels so… homely.Thi
“Excuse me, sir, she’ll be free to go tomorrow. But she will need to take some blood thinners and some pain relief tablets for the next two weeks.”I nod. I didn’t tell them I didn’t know her… after all, my questions are pending and she has the answers.This was not how I was expecting my night to e
~ ZION ~Not this time.I raise my gun, pressing it to her forehead roughly. She stumbles backwards trying to put space between us, but with her injured leg she’s not as slick and I almost reach out to steady her, then remind myself who she is.She is one of them.And she’s here for a reason.Do the
My heart skips a beat.He’s always been clever, but the conviction with how he said that one sentence… as if he was completely certain. But I’m not going to admit that.I chuckle humourlessly. “And why would you think I was the one who was behind that?”“You don’t wear a seatbelt, Milena. You were w
~ MILENA ~Irritation flashes through me as the car comes ever closer. As predicted it would.I’m waiting for the moment Zion’s car that he no longer has control over dangerously drives down this one-way road, and I’ll be here, waiting to pull out in front of him.I have to time it just right. If he
“Oh god, this is a generous treat…” she murmurs as she sticks her tongue out and flicks it across the tip in a slow and tantalising manner.Pleasure shoots through me and I grip the back of her head.“Not yet,” I mutter huskily, yanking her to her feet and turning her. I push her against the wall, u
