Love Hurts TWELVE Café Vein
I tried to get up after about 30 minutes of that intense quickie Martin, and I did. I remembered I promised a new friend lunch and now it was too late. I charged my phone first while choosing a simple dress for a fine three-o-clock snack. Ocean blue, sleeveless turtle neck maxi dress with a side slit. At least it covered my hickeys. I took my white knee-length boots from the shoe rack and paired them with a small white purse. I gave my brunette hair some volume as it cascaded down my back. With a minimal touch of make-up and light red lipstick, I was ready to go. "Oh! Shoot!" I almost forgot my phone on the bedside table. Checking my missed calls and text messages, I gasped in horror. 50 missed calls from Martin and 10 missed calls from an unknown number. I could guess that must be Harry, and I was right for when I checked the messages, he introduced his name there. Harry: Hi, Dakota! Ahm! It's me, Harry, the Sitara guy. This is my number, by the way. Are we still ok with the lunch?
Love Hurts THIRTEEN Godfather's Order
Unknown POV..I began with the first step, and it seemed to be going well. I thought I would travel a rocky road or climb a stiff mountain, but it was the exact opposite. I went back to my temporary abode to update my boss about the happenings today, and I couldn't wait to hear his praise.I took my phone from my pocket and called a number. The line rang three times before somebody answered it."Who's this?" his voice was thunder, firm, and stern."It's me, godfather!" I uttered as I ambled to the open window of my unit. The terrace was overwhelming. I was on the 50th floor of this single tower in the heart of the city. It was almost dinner time, and the sky highlighted the fiery hue of the sunset. A thin smile crept on my lips, what a beautiful scenery it was."Report now!" my brows furrowed at his tone, but I was used to it. I was thankful he was on the phone. It would be worse if he was in front of me. He was an average-level, well-built man, but he looked like a giant to me."I'
Love Hurts FOURTEEN Luminous Lounge
Dakota POV..The early bird catches the worm, people would usually say. Not for me, my energy usually kicked me best at night. I was a party pooper when I was at the university, a partygoer when I graduated, and a woman who never turned off the street lights at night when I settled in New YorkAnd now, it was just 7 in the evening, and my feet were aching to kick out and have a blast. After my coffee time with Harry, I went to the mall for a while and bought some clothes.Before, I used to shop with my bestie, Amy Leah. But now, she had her new priorities - be a housewife slash CEO of de la Frontela Group. After their second wedding, Desmond gave Amy Leah back her dad's company. He also took back my BFF's mansion from her evil stepmother, who was still on the run.I thought for a while about whether to disturb her or not, but who knew, she also wanted to go out tonight. So, I took my phone and called Amy Leah."Kota!" a cheerful voice chimed in right away."Babe, I'm bored to death.
Love Hurts FIFTEEN He Slapped Her
"Sit down!" he pushed me down to the couch, I saw Shantel smirk at my sorry state. "What are you doing here?" I was irked in pain at the impact of the push."What I do with my life is none of your business, Martin. I can do whatever the h*ck I want!" I spat out. He was furious, I was enraged.He was about to raise his hand, and I flinched at his gesture when Shantel held his shoulder in a flirty way."Tesoro mio (My darling), please be gentle with her. She didn't mean to upset you!" her filthy hands were looping around his arm.I could hear Martin's rapid breathing, he was controlling himself. He shoved Shantel's hands away and turned around. I was just staring at him. If Shantel didn't hold his shoulder, he could have hit me. A drop of tear was beginning to appear, and while no one's looking, I wiped it with the back of my palm."Ahhh!" he screamed, frustrated. I jolted at the loudness and intensity of his voice, even Shantel jumped on her spot. Luke and Enzo just bowed their heads.
Love Hurts SIXTEEN The Feeling of Regrets
Martin POV..I had an important appointment with one of my partners in the club, and I needed Shantel to accompany me. We had dinner first before we went to Luminous Lounge. I was going to meet Derick here.Before that, I told Luke to cover for me if Dakota would ask about my whereabouts. I needed her to stay close to me to protect her. I had an inkling that Yvan was not in Russia. He was here in New York, lurking around and waiting for the opportunity to cut my head off."Martin, what if we give Derick additional benefits?" Shantel suggested.We are in the VIP room on the 2nd floor of my club. The lights were minimal, but clear enough to see each other's facial expressions. For now, Derick wasn't sure if he would agree with my plan about the new shipments coming or not. Since the previous one was seized by the cops.I turned my gaze to Shantel, who was sitting closely beside me. She had a point. We had to convince Derick quickly and close the deal now."Don't get me wrong, Martin,
Love Hurts SEVENTEEN My Sister
Dakota POV..Inside the car, Luke kept glancing at me in the rearview mirror while I spoke to Harry. But I didn't mind. He could tell his boss for all I care."Yes, sure. I'm actually free these days!" I told Harry while putting on my best smile. "Well, no job at the moment!" I chuckled. "I'm at the mercy of my parents' inheritance!" I laughed out. To mess with Luke's imagination more, I turned on the speaker and Harry's voice sprouted like mushrooms."That's great. We're a little bit in the same boat. I'm also dependent on my dad's pocket!" we both laughed, making Luke furrow his brows."So, the next day, you say?" I asked and winked at Luke, who was startled and coughed a bit. Caught eavesdropping, huh?! He then focused his eyes on the road."Yeah! I have a client meeting tomorrow, so the next day is better. Where are you now, by the way? Are you at your place? The weather is cool. There are lots of people strolling in the park at the moment!" Harry uttered, inviting me in silence
Love Hurts EIGHTEEN Shoot Out
Dakota POV.."Okay, kindly tell me what the h*ll happened?!" I was shaking like a leaf, my feet rushed to the emergency room, but Amy Leah stopped me before I could enter."Kota! We can't get in. They're treating him. Don't worry, Martin is a hard-headed, strong-willed man. He'll get through with this!" she was trying to comfort me but to no avail.Desmond stood up from the hospital bench and ambled towards his wife. He placed his hand on her shoulder and stared at me."He'll be fine, Kota. He has reasons to live. You!" that sounded comforting, but not enough."You guys didn't answer my question yet!" I told them, my voice came out a bit harsh. My hands were on my waist, my lips quivered, and my eyes blinked, restraining some tears from falling."They had a shoot-out with another gang!" Desmond answered in a whisper after glancing around. Amy Leah held my trembling hands while staring sternly at me, checking my reactions."And, what happened next?" I asked, and it seemed their answe
Love Hurts NINETEEN Loop of Darkness
A gasp escaped from me as that far-fetched memory splashed into my mind, drowning me in the edge of disbelief. It couldn't be, I thought. I shook my head while my eyes were shut. When was the last time I talked to her? Maybe a week ago?! After that slapping incident at my bar, she never contacted me again. Although I had updates with her activities every single day, hearing her voice and laughs was different.I knew that she went out with that Harry Volkov twice. They had dinner on the first night and went to an amusement park the next day. They're both happy, and my girl was giggling like she just went back to her teenage years."Dakota Weasly!" I mumbled her name, like a bitter-sweet medicine stuck in my throat.I had to find my way out here. I had to clear things up. I needed some updates on what happened after the shoot-out. But how? I was like inside of an invisible loop of time, I couldn't escape at all."Focalizzare, Martin (Focus)!" I told myself as I glanced around. Dark wrap
