Greg

I still couldn't believe it hours later when I clocked out from work that evening, and I headed out into the elevator where I saw a few of my colleagues alongside our boss, Jeremiah.

He smiled at me.

Right.

"Are you okay?" He walked up to me when we all got out of the elevator, and I nodded my head.

He had probably asked that question a million times today since I found out about Kael—though he doesn't know why—and now he stepped in front of me, almost making me collide with him.

"Do you mind if I drop you home?"

That kind of made me snap out of whatever trance I was in, and I shook my head immediately.

"No, I have..."

I actually don't have to do that anymore.

I paused when the realization dawned on me.

Kael is dead.

He's not in your apartment anymore.

You don't have to lie to people because you're hoarding a criminal anymore.

But still, "I'm fine, actually. I already ordered an Uber."

"Oh really?"

"Yes. Thank you."

"Alright then."

He said his bye and went straight to his car, wh

    Greg"Yes." I leaned against the alley wall and tucked my hand into my pockets."We had a talk about this, didn't we?""That was before you decided to marry her to a sexual assaulter.""Who?""Romeo or whatever his name is."I've never really liked the guy, even back then when I was still in the closet.""She's just saying that to get out of the arrangement. He didn't assault her. She must just have misunderstood. He's the bishop's son, for crying out loud.""Which doesn't make him a saint. I can't believe you're taking his word over your daughter's.""That's not the point. Her staying with you will destroy her life.""Why? Because I'm gay."He went silent for a while, probably fuming that the son he had raised for seventeen years said that 'abomination.'"Send her back home while I'm still lenient.""And what will you do if I don't?"He scoffed, "Like you have any chance against me. I could literally destroy your life with a single call, so you should be grateful I decided to leave y

    GregIt was neither a bomb nor a nuclear weapon.It was a sewing machine."Sewing machine?" Gia gasped. And not just any sewing machine but an industrial one. The big one producing companies use."What the fuck?" I cursed"Do you have an idea who might have sent it?"Yeah.Probably Lyra, but we had just taken her home, drunk and blacked out.I wondered if she had ordered it before tonight even though I told her not to.I sighed.What was I going to do with this?I don't even have any space for it.I sighed and collapsed on the couch."What is it?" Gia asked"Nothing. I... I'll take care of this. I think it's my friend who got this for me.""The sassy one?"I already knew she was talking about Lyra.I chuckled, "Yes, the sassy one."She sat down beside me. "Damn, that must mean she's rich.""Super rich.""Wow."We stood up to push the machine to a corner after a few minutes, and I went into the bathroom to shower before blacking out myself.****Lyra was the first person I called when

    GregHe looked quite different now.The facial hair, the short blonde—wait, he went blonde?—and then there was the hoodie that was covering his face, but his eyes remained the same.Those brown eyes that always seemed to pull me in.I gasped in surprise when he suddenly sealed my lips with his with no warning."What are you doing?" I managed to ask when I pushed him back for a second, and he used one hand to pin my hands to the wall before slipping his second into my trousers."Reminding you who you begged to fuck your ass the other day."I bit my lips and squirmed when his fingers grazed my dick, but before I could get another word out, he claimed my lips with his and basically devoured it.Tongue intertwining, lips biting, everything and the taste.God, he tasted like whiskey, or was that vodka?Bitter yet addictive.He must be drunk."Fuck!" I moaned and arched my back when he suddenly pulled my dick out of my pants and squeezed the head."See you all dripping and wet," he scooped

    Greg"Gosh, he must have been so disappointed."I stared between Lyra and Bella, who I had just told the story of my failed date with my boss, and scoffed."You must be kidding me. I also said Kael is alive; are you just going to ignore that?"Lyra shrugged. "I did tell you that he's alive.""Wait, you knew?"Both Bella and I turned on her to stare, and she shrugged again, "I wasn't sure at first, but then I saw him with Adrian and knew. I didn't know he was going to come back to you. He's supposed to be undercover. That's the point of the whole show. Die and live a new life.""So..." I went silent as I tried to take in all of that.Not only had that asshole faked his death, but he had also come to my date to do... that.And now, my best friend knew.I stood up from the bed to go get a can of beer or champagne even from her fridge downstairs, and I jumped when I saw Bella there already.Wasn't she upstairs just now?God, I must be losing it.She turned to me with a smile and kept her

    Kael"Wasn't expecting you to like it enough to bring it back home, though."He pushed me away from him and glared, his lips tightening into a line I found so cute.God, the way they had tasted when I...I glanced up at his face when he hit me slightly on my chest, "So what? I was meant to leave it in the office for everyone to see.""That wouldn't be so bad now, don't you think?"I walked away from him and sat down on the couch I had spent a whole two weeks rotting on."How do you even know where I work? How are you alive and..." He glanced around. "Where is my sister?""Oh, so she is your sister?"Yup, I had figured that out already after driving away from the explosion that was supposedly my car a week or two ago, but still..."Where is she?" He ignored my question as he went through the whole apartment frantically, and I folded my arms when he stopped in front of me a minute later."Where is she?!""I don't know. I think she stepped out to do something or get something.""What?"I

    GregHe had not been lying.Gia was indeed in a black van at the back of the house, bloody and unconscious, and with her were three other men who were just as bloody and unconscious.I wondered who they were or if they were still alive, but most of all, why they had done this.Who sent them?Or were they the masterminds?For what reason, though?Was it Kael?I mean, he was the one who had told me about this, though I wondered if he was the one who had beaten them up brutally like this.I sighed, relieved, though when I checked my sister's pulse, to see that she was still breathing.Thank heavens.The guys could be dead for all I care as long as she was fine.I glanced at the guys and pursed my lips.I should call the police, though, right?I mean, they were probably dead and battered up, so the police should be involved... right?I took out my phone to do just that but paused when a phone suddenly started ringing in the car.It took me about a minute to make sure that I wasn't halluci

    GregYup, it was Jeremiah, and I was in his house.How did that happen again?The memory hit me all of a sudden.Me drinking myself to a stupor last night.A face looking oddly familiar—it must have been Jeremiah—and me ranting to the person.God. I couldn't believe I had done that after so many incidents with him already."Are you okay?" He asked as I stood up, and I rubbed a hand over my face. "Yes. So sorry for the inconvenience. I'll leave now.""I made coffee, though. You sure you don't want some?" He folded his arms and smiled. Okay, tempting, but...But nothing.I ended up in his kitchen before I could even convince myself out of it.Wow, his place was pretty cool.Masculine.Expensive also, I'll say, but he sure did look like he came from money."Your place looks nice." He looked up from the mug he was pouring coffee into and smiled. "Yeah, thanks.""You must get that a lot."He cocked an eyebrow. "Are you asking if I bring over other guys who also think the place is cool?"

    Jeremiah "He's not my boyfriend, Mum."At least not yet."Oh, soon then."I shrugged and sat down by my kitchen island."I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not.""Why? What is the matter?" She asked as she placed the things she had brought over in the fridge.I glanced at her when she drew over a stool to sit beside me after."I don't know... I just... I don't know what he's thinking.""Like how?"I shrugged, "I don't know."One moment, he's apologizing for God knows what; the next, he's smiling with me and pulling me in to kiss.I would be lying if I said I'm not confused."Then ask him.""Huh?""Ask him what he's thinking. It can't be that hard.""It is. At least for me. Did I forget to mention that he's my subordinate in the office?"Oh really?" I rolled my eyes as hers began to twinkle with mischief."Don't do that.""What?""That. That smile or smirk. Whatever it is."She shrugged and folded her arms. "I'm not doing anything. I just think it's cute, but you know what? You don't have to

    BellaOne month later,The town was just as quiet yet noisy as I remembered it. Most tourists were bustling around as they got some things, and I picked out a few things myself for dinner since we didn't have the luxury of ordering pizza here."Here." The elderly man said as he handed me the ingredients for soup I had bought, and I paid him in cash, thanking him as I left.Seriously, where was this girl, Quinn?I glanced around, trying to find my companion, who was just as dazed as a child by the things he found here.Okay, yes, there was a lot of antique and beautiful stuff, but getting lost among the crowd because of that was not...I gasped and smiled when I suddenly felt her arms wrapped around me from behind."Seriously?"She smiled, kissing away the scowl I had only just managed to plaster on my face."See what I found." She raised up a type of camera that looked really ancient."Wow..." That really dripped with a lot of sarcasm, or at least that was what I planned, but I think

    Quinn "Oh fuck!" I sighed in relief when I finally saw that she was okay.Phew!You should have seen the way my heart skipped when I got the news that she had been kidnapped from the condo.Like, how the fuck did that happen?Who was even the...I turned to the other guy in the room, raising my own gun to aim when I finally saw who it was. "Matteo?"He tucked the gun he had been holding into his pocket and faced me."Isn't it odd that no one is here?" And there were no dead bodies outside or within.It was almost as if no one else was here except us, and that was weird. If this had been a kidnap mission like he had said, after all, he was the one who had sent me the video of him being kidnapped, then called me to tell me he found her.I raised my eyebrows, immediately becoming suspicious, and raised my gun again.He rolled his eyes, knowing exactly my thought process."You still don't get it, do you?""What?""This is what might happen if you guys keep up with what you've been doing.

    BellaThings kept going great after that.Days after that.The sex.The glances.This thrilling feeling that came with just being around her.I threw my head back and moaned loudly when her tongue slipped into my pussy, slopping quite loudly."Ahh... Quinn..." It felt so good."Hmm-mm. Feels good, huh?"I nodded, unable to get the words out thanks to her adding another finger to the finger that was already driving me crazy by my clit, and she raised her head up after another mind-blowing orgasm on that same kitchen counter.I smiled and opened my mouth wide to accept her kiss when she raised her head up a moment later.God.So obscene and hot, I loved it.The twirl of her tongue, the salty but sweet taste, she bit on my bottom lip for a second when we finally pulled apart minutes later."God, Matteo is going to kill me, but..."Right, her meeting with that Moretti lady. She had told me about it a few days ago when we decided to come to this condo for privacy.Yes, it was the condo we

    QuinnWe all got into the car, with Matteo taking the wheel again after we finished with Hastings, and we maintained the silence we had kept on our way here—except for the time I caught Riley staring, or maybe it was the other way round as I had been staring too—till we got home.Both I and Riley got out when he got to the house. Matteo remained inside to drive the car to the garage, and I waited for him to drive away before I caught Riley's hand in mine.She glanced at me for the first time since we left the lawyer's office. Seems like the visit to the lawyer hit her hard all over again.She blinked a number of times. "What?""Come with me.""Huh?"I didn't give her a chance to understand what I was about to do before I was dragging her all the way with me to the back of the house, where I let go of her hand to search through a bunch of thick bushes that had some flowers in them.I turned back for a moment to see her giving me this ridiculous look. At least she wasn't looking so sad

  • My Dad's Mafia Bestfriend   Chapter 62

    BellaThe drive to the office was dead-ass silent. Like I'm talking pin-drop, cemetery-type silence as we all sat huddled in the car, and I smiled at Matteo for the third time when we made eye contact through the car mirror just because I was not willing to get caught fixating on the person beside me.He smiled back again, definitely thinking I'm weird or at least acting weird.I sighed deeply.After the little confession session we had out in the alley the other day, what am I saying, yesterday, I would have expected things to be more expressive between us.You know... those things people in relationships do, but for some reason, we have just been avoiding each other for the most part of today; I couldn't understand why.Okay, I know I'm part of the problem since I'm not making any moves, but at least she should do something, right?Ugh!I fidgeted unconsciously, pissed at all this tension and weirdness.I glanced at Quinn for the hundredth time even though I've kind of convinced mys

    Bella"Huh?"I kept my hands around her shoulder, unable to move my legs anyway because of how wobbly they were, and I stared up into her eyes once she said that.She stared at me too, quite troubled."I think I might like you too."Okay, not love, but at least we were past the fuck buddy stuff.She pulled away and ran her hand through her hair after a moment of just staring at each other.Like, what do we do now? Have some more sex. Kiss.She nodded towards the club and back at me, "Are you going to... We should go home or..."Right, I had even forgotten I was drunk before and kissing another lady because the thought of being just a fuck buddy to her had irritated me.Now that she had said she liked me, I felt more sober than drunk.I moved away from the wall and stumbled a bit right before gaining my balance."Yeah."I wondered where home was now.The family house?Maybe. After all, it was my father's house but more Quinn's than mine now. I was definitely going to feel out of place.

    Quinn Drunk, annoyed, tipsy; maybe still drinking, was what I had been expecting when I stepped into the club; the GPS had indicated the car was parked in a few minutes later. But instead of that, the person I had come to look for was by the bar, kissing a lady that basically had her whole body on her now. I felt my insides twist with this feeling I couldn't quite place. Jealousy. I wouldn't know, but just the sight of what they were doing and the fact that they kept kissing had me storming over to them without warning and basically throwing the other lady across the room before I could stop myself. Those familiar amber eyes stared up at me in surprise, "Quinn." I didn't wait for her to get another word out before I was dragging her out of the club and into an alley that enveloped us in complete darkness if not for the flickering streetlight beside it. She tore her hand away from me and glared, stumbling a bit when I turned to face her. Oh, she was drunk but still...

    Quinn Matteo didn't seem to buy the it's just sex theory, though, and I sighed, turning away from him."Is that advisable though?"I shrugged, "Why not? It's not like I forced her to have sex with me.""But she's..."Yes, Jose's daughter. I knew and shouldn't have started any of... I wasn't even sure what we had now, especially if she really felt the way she had said earlier."I think I love you."I pushed the words to the back of my mind, facing Matteo, who sighed in resignation again."Just be careful. Getting involved with her could make things dangerous, and you shouldn't have any distractions, especially in the early stages of this..."Taking over, he meant.It was already my fourth month as the leader of this organization, and things were going well, at least on the surface.I nodded and sat behind my desk, shoving thoughts of how naked a certain person had been on that desk a minute ago.He sat opposite me.I kind of knew what he might want to bring up."Hayden..."Yup, knew i

    Bella Fuck!I grinded my hips against the table, chasing after the high that had come over me as I came super hard on Quinn's tongue a minute earlier, and she raised her head to my lips to kiss me after that, sucking my tongue and spreading my salty taste all over our mouths.It was obscene but also hot."Hmm..." I purred, loving it."Get on your knees, princess. Time to put that mouth to use." And even though I had been willing to do that, hearing her say that while she leaned back against the chair in the study had me hot and bothered on a whole new level.Fuck, and this was not what I had been planning when I left Lyra's house.Like yes, I had wished and fantasized about having sex with her over the past three months that I was supposed to use to figure out my life, but I had also been planning to talk about whatever the hell I was feeling.Now I wasn't even sure what was going on in my mind anymore, but that wasn't going to stop me from doing what she ordered, though, so I got on
