I hated being away from Shay at the Villa, but the truth was that if we were ever to have a future together I was going to need to get out of the family business. Julio understood where I was coming from and promised to take good care of her while I went about tying up loose ends.
In between all of this, the threat of Redmont was still weighing on us. I knew that he would be coming after her. That crazy son of a bitch just didn’t know when to stop. Most people would have thrown in the towel long ago, so I knew there had to be more involved.
CHAPTER 24 – ShayAt the computer putting the finishing touches on a manuscript...A lot has happened since our stay at the Villa. As I began to recuperate Will was busy selling his mansion and finding us a new forever home. It was obvious that going back to the United States wouldn’t be in his best interest. Will wasn’t precisely on the Feds list, but they weren’t exchanging Christmas cards either.

CHAPTER 1 – ShayStep one: I admit I am powerless over my addiction and that my life has become unmanageable.My throat was dry, my hands were shaking, and I almost dropped my water glass when I tried to take a drink. Maybe it’s best if I just fold my hands in my lap. Does that look weird? What am I talking about? I look like a June Cleaver want to be in my sensible suit and fake pearls. This was a mistake; I should never have come. I can’t do this.
CHAPTER 2 – ShayStep six: I am ready to have God remove all defects of character.When I awakened, my hands were tied behind my back and there was a blindfold over my eyes. The strange thing was that I was laying on a soft surface, possibly a bed. Living in jail for all of those months I know all about bad mattresses. The one I wa
CHAPTER 3 – ShayThe next time I awakened to fire rapid Spanish being spoken in the hallway. It took me a moment to realize that I wasn’t tied up. My next thought was that it was a man and woman arguing, was one of the voices Marco? I had hopes that he wasn't as cruel as the first man had been. I wished to God I had paid attention during Spanish class at school because I had no idea what they were talking about. I did catch her name, however. Because he yelled it at her like someone who knew you would. The roll o
CHAPTER 4 – WillThe fucking punk ass Jamie was tied up and left in a warehouse until I could get to him. I knew that if I went in hot I would kill the bastard before I got any information out of him. And I needed to know who had it out for Shay.When Jamie came to work for me a few months ago I tolerated his idiocy because good marksmen were tough to come by and he was one of the best. I’m what you would call an assassin, butcher, hired gun, hitman, killer. It really doesn’t matter what you name it, I ki
CHAPTER 5 – ShayHigh School - Several years earlier.“Hey Babe.” Tyler wrapped his meaty arm around me stuck his nose in my hair.I literally felt my skin crawl as my back smacked against the school lockers. Why wouldn’t this douchebag go away?I shoved against his muscled chest. “Leave me alone, Tyler. We aren’t going out any

CHAPTER 23 – WillI hated being away from Shay at the Villa, but the truth was that if we were ever to have a future together I was going to need to get out of the family business.

CHAPTER 22 – ShayWe fell into a certain pattern at the Villa, I was able to spend time with Mandy and her daughter and slowly she began to thaw towards me. It was never the close relationship that we had once shared, but I could tell that she didn’t hate me and that meant the world to me.Will was often gone in the daytime and then when he returned we would make passionate love all night. I loved him more than the air I breathed. I would often tell him so and every time he didn’t return the statement a little bit of me died inside.
CHAPTER 21 – Shay“For heaven’s sake would you please just sit down?” Gina scowled at me. “I am supposed to be mad at you and I can’t even do that properly with you freaking out.”“You don’t understand,” I was wringing my hands, wearing out a hole in the carpet. “She hates me, Gina, they both hate my guts and now because of me they are forced to come here.”Gina raised a brow, “Unless you are God and can control what that bitch Emma does, it is no
CHAPTER 20 – Will“I need to speak with Elliot Brand.”There was a pause on the other end of the line before the secretary inquired, “And may I ask to which this is concerning?”I sighed, not having time for this shit. “The safety of his wife and child; this is Will Jennings. He will take the call.”The woman put me on hold and I groun
CHAPTER 19 – Shay“Are you sure they are coming?” Julio whispered as we hid behind the tapestries just outside of the library.I snorted, albeit very softly. “They won’t ignore my cry for help and I texted both of them that I had fallen.”Sure enough, there was the sound of pounding feet coming their way. Julio placed a finger to his lips and I nodded. It was doubtful that they would see us here simply because their focus would be on getting inside the library.
CHAPTER 18 – ShayIt wasn’t that I was expecting him to say it back to me. I mean, that would have been bloody brilliant and not nearly as uncomfortable as the complete silence that accompanied my declaration.I almost wanted to take it back, not that I didn’t love him, because I did. I was head over heels, tits over ass in love with Will Jennings. But maybe just minutes after sex with his cock still softening inside of me wasn’t the best time to tell him.I closed my eyes as the silence stretched, n
