LOGINDue to his traumatic past, Adam Carter is a successful billionaire with a dark and cold personality. Unlike other billionaire bachelors, Adam takes no interest in relationships or casual flings. That, however, changes when he lays eyes on Daphnie Hanson, a recent college graduate who is cautious when it comes to romance. Love is never an easy road. When Adam's past comes to haunt him and ends up dragging the pair into a lifestyle they never imagined, can the two survive the danger and heartache that comes with it?

We were ready to go and waiting for Chad and Ben to pick us up.I heard the front door open, and Ben called, "Adam, it's me!""I'm in the living room," I said, hoping Ben could hear me over Nightingale's cries."What's going on?""She won't stop crying."Ben quickly came to my side and asked, "Is she sick?""No. I checked her temperature, changed her diaper, fed her, and she's still upset."The front door opened again. I expected it to be Chad telling us it was time to go; I was surprised to see Maybell walk in."Oh, no. What's wrong?" Maybell asked as she stepped into the living room."I don't know. She won't stop crying, no matter what I do."Maybell gestured for me to hand her Nightingale, and I reluctantly did so. She cautiously walked over to the couch and sat down."She knows what today is; she's sad too."I took a deep breat
AdamI sat in the back of my SUV, trying to calm my rage. We finally found the house. Alexandros has his vacation home signed under a different name; his distant cousin was the legal owner. He probably arranged that for a scenario like this, where he had to go into hiding. It was so obvious yet so challenging to figure out.What was driving me toward insanity was that we had to wait; Alexandros had gone on a brief vacation and took Nightingale with him, leaving Daphnie alone. I wanted nothing more than to break down that door and hold Daphnie in my arms, but Alexandros had a security system that would let him know if someone broke in or out. If he knew I found Daphnie, he would take off somewhere with Nightingale. I needed to make my move when they were together.As we waited, I hacked into the security cameras and would occasionally check on Daphnie. Being so close yet so far away was fueling my anger. I wanted to beat Alexandros to a pulp, crush his skull, stab him repeatedly, and w
AdamThe worst part of any mission was waiting. Alexandros had a vacation home in Pittsburg that was an hour and twenty-five minutes flight, yet I had to wait. Chad had concluded that Alexandros had left his Michigan home a few hours before I arrived. He needed time to get settled and check if I was after him. If he knew I knew his whereabouts, he would relocate Daphnie and Nightingale, making it difficult to get them back.In the meantime, Chad kept an eye on security footage in Pittsburg. At the same time, I strategized how we would get Daphnie and Nightingale back. Chad and I would only be on this mission; it was too risky to send all my men to Pittsburg, and Ace would give away our position if he barked."Sir," Chad said."What?""Security footage shows Alexandros shopping for groceries; Nightingale was with him.""What about Daphnie?""No sign of her, sir.""He knows Daphnie won't run without Nightingale; he must be keeping them separated.""If Alexandros wants a happy family, he
AdamDaphnie and I lay together on the couch. I was leaning against the corner as Daphnie lay her chest on my back so my arms could wrap around her waist. The television wasn't on, nor did we say anything; we sat in peaceful silence. I gently grabbed Daphnie's left hand and ran my thumb over her promise ring.I smiled as I gently kissed her cheek; I was so lucky to be with Daphnie, and I couldn't wait to call her my wife someday."I love you," I softly said.Daphnie giggled and said, "I love you too."I snapped out of the flashback and refocused on checking the accounts of some of Phil's benefactors. I couldn't believe the number of people who supported his work. Then again, these were people in high places, probably unaware of what happened in his clinic. I narrowed it down to a few men closely linked to the stock market and the Greek mafia. Surprisingly, few had private planes; they preferred to fly first class or business.My attention was caught when I noticed one man had bought s
AdamIt felt good to wake up with Daphnie in my arms again. Daphnie rested her head on my chest as I held her tight."So now what?" Daphnie asked."What do you mean?""Well, Lorenzo will be your shadow; what does that mean for you?""It means he's gonna be an even bigger pain in my ass," I sighed. "I'll
ChadI slowly pulled into a parking spot outside the bar. I was shocked Adam wanted to meet, considering he was getting married in a week. I assumed he and Daphnie would be busy with last-minute preparations. He said it would be a casual meeting, which shocked me even more.I walked inside and looked
ChadIt had been one month, two weeks, and six days since Daphnie was in hiding. Adam hadn't slept; he stopped eating as well. I was worried about him.I suggested that we visit Adam's ranch. I figured that being around the horses would be therapeutic for Adam. At first, he was uninterested but reluct
AdamIt was a long drive from Chicago to where I was hiding Daphnie, and the traffic made it even longer. I had Daphnie hidden away in the woods in Northern Michigan. It was ten-thirty when I pulled up to the log cabin.I walked up to the door and rushed to unlock it, excited to return to Daphnie. Uns
