Thankyou for reading :)
ZADE.Dinner isn’t too bad, although I had an unexpected person sitting on my left. The Menace himself. He seems to get bored easily and I’m his latest interest. He was adamant that he had to sit next to me. Although, to everyone’s surprise, Sia had also wanted to sit beside me. Of course, the Menac
“Oh… like a shift… so when you go to hell, Uncle, will you shift before you go?”I chuckle quietly.Hell. You got that right, kid.“Xander!” Zaia scolds, appalled. “I am so sorry, Zade!”“He isn’t wrong. Yeah kid, I will. But don’t worry, when I go to hell I’m taking you with me.” I smirk, making Xa
“Want a smoke?” I ask, offering him one. He looks up with a start, clearly not having heard me approach. He glances down at the cigarette packet I’ve popped open. He looks at it as if taking a second to understand what I said before he gives me a grave smile.“Thank you… son.” He takes one and I tak
VALERIETwo Months Later…Shelby died exactly one week after her wedding day, it broke my heart knowing I could do nothing. Something as doctors we often face, we try our best, but it still doesn’t mean we can work miracles.My only solace is that she spent her last days surrounded by her loved ones
“I love you,” I say the words I don’t need to because I’m sure he can see it in my eyes.“I know, but I love you way fucking more,” he murmurs, kissing my forehead softly. I close my eyes, relishing in his touch before another bang makes him growl in irritation and he lets go of me.“They are doing
VALERIEHe cocks a brow, looking down at me. “I don’t want her to…” he sighs. “Never mind.”“Talk to me, Atticus. Help me understand why you refused her.”He shakes his head. “This place is coming along great. I like it. So Zade did most of this?”“Yep,” I respond, wishing he hadn’t shut the convers
“Oh, thanks, here’s the salad!”“Oh great, Zade brought the ice, thank you,” Zaia remarks.“And he brings the heat,” I murmur, not realising I said it out loud, making them all burst into laughter.-----It’s past midnight and everyone has left. I just made us hot drinks after showering.‘Where are
Hello my beautiful readers! Please take a moment to read this short note, as it will explain what is yet to come and may answer questions you have.Zade was the lead I never knew I needed 🥹 he came in as a villain, and left with many hearts. He has fast become one of my favourite men ♥️The next an
“So where is she now?” Xander asks, and I glance at him.“Under my watch, until I get an answer regarding that attack,” I answer quietly as a woman from the stage crawls to the edge, giving Xander an up-close view of her breasts. He leans forward, placing a few hundred-dollar bills in her between he
~ ZION ~The women clad in risque lingerie twirl around the poles, their shimmering bodies illuminated by the purple and pink lighting of the strip club.I don’t spare them more than a glance, my eyes roaming instead over the seated men - searching for the one I’m here for. It doesn’t take long to f
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
