The deafening sound of a bullet snapping from a barrel has brought a sting to my ears. It has left the room with nothing but dead silence, with air so thick that it is near impossible to breathe. Have I achieved what I have come to set out?

Well, no.

And it fucking annoying.

I was mere seconds close to blowing this man's brains all over his marble kitchen counters when his bodyguard decided to make an entrance, and with one rather sloppy hand, he managed to miss my shoulder by only inches.

Taking my stance, I look at him with only but a smirk on my face. "You are going to pay for that.”

I watch as he stands only but a few inches away from me, with hands by his side; I hear the most hideous laughter coming from his mouth. “Oh, what are you going to do, Cruz?”

His eyes seem wild with fire; there is a fury and determination behind them as he starts to close that gap between us. He is going to ram me, and god, he is going to ra

    I have learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment, and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next.Why did I not learn to treat everything like it was the last time? My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future. The truth is that unless you let go unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone, the more it wants to getaway. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you because you think that your feelings were wrong, and it makes you feel so small because it's so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn't come

    It is 2 AM.I am standing in my room; the flood of emotions that are running through my mind is clearly said in hands that are trembling.Did I act hastily?Did Colton Cruz make a mistake?I did what I thought was right at the time, and the only right thing is to make sure that Trinity and I can be back together again.Yet, I think that I have strayed so far from reality that I might have doomed our relationship forever.

    I have been standing outside of Trinity’s room, waiting. I don’t know if she knows that I am here, but I guess by the nervous pacing that she has a good idea that I am lingering outside here. See, this is the thing…I am tired. I am tired of playing this game. She comes, she stays, she leaves…round one. She comes, she stays, she leaves…round two. And that is how our relationship plays. Now frankly, I am fucking tired of it. I have gone above and completely beyond what any man should do for a woman. Ya, I fucking love the woman. But she is now driving me insane. She, exactly in Mason’s words, threw a total tantrum when he brought her some lunch. She and he has the mark on his forehead, but she flung the plate at his face leaving him with a rather ugly gash on his face. Now, I have a temper that will come out when you have tested me beyond my patience. Yet, I can control it to a certain extent, the extent being when it is not Trin

  • Protecting My Mafia Princess: The Rise Of A Crime Boss   The Ghost Of Vic Stone

    Trinity left last night.There was a piece of me that hoped that she would remain by my side; I guess forgiving one for doing such a big wrong is too great of a thing to have asked. My sole intent when I went to Vic was to kill him, but then I saw that I would only be foolish and cause Trinity to hate me. Though the moment that Vic had his gun drawn on me, I knew that it was going to be either him or me. So yes, I can be said to be a monster, but in a way, I was also just trying to defend myself.Now there is no turning back from this. I have made the woman that I love hate me with such great pain. And not only this, she has now become my rival. How did this all become so fucked up? I was so blinded by love that I lost sight of what is right and wrong.But if you technically look at it this way, what was Vic’s should be mine. Now the question begs, do I want to walk into the Stone Mansion and claim what should be now my turf? Do I truly want to upset Trini

    …Trinity POV…I have never felt such extreme anger towards a single soul in my life before. To say that my heart is not raging with hatred would be a lie. All I feel towards Colton Cruz now is the desire to end his life.Did I love this man before?If you ask me now, then I would say no. I feel betrayed, and god knows I feel hurt. The pain that he has inflicted on me is one that you can never forgive. How can you walk into the home of a man with the intent of killing him? Can he even dare to say that he has done this all for us?”What us?There is no such thing.I hate the man.Yet this man thinks that he can underestimate me; it only takes me but a snap of a second, and I have my wrist away from him.

    It is with great satisfaction and a small victory in my heart that I watch the look on Trinity’s face as the barrel is softly laid against her head. Now, of course, I will not let the man shoot her, but it is time that she calms the fuck down. She can, by all right, be her worst own enemy; she self-destructs in an epic way. Not that I am saying that I don’t do it myself.But I am not the one that is slightly outnumbered.So trying my best to hide my pure pleasure, only to fail completely, I call out for her. She has gone completely dead still on the spot, and I swear the woman has not winked for the past minute. “Trinity, I guess this is where you have to drop that gun.”“Fuck you, Colton. What are you going to do?” I can hear her voice is now starting to tremble. From under a stuttered breath, she continues in a fit of anger, “Are you going to shoot a woman now as well.”With clear determination, I only but

    In front of me is a very clear nervous Trinity that is just about to faint at this very second, slightly half unable to breath as she waits in anticipation for anyone so brave enough to object. So after what seems the longest minute of my life, the priest returns his gaze to her. She only grunts at him from underneath her breath, “I suggest you skip that question.” “All right then...Colton, do you take Trinity to be your wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward...” Trinity only but growls at him again, ”Can you please skip that part too?” “As you wish...Colton, do you take Trinity as your wedded wife?” “I do.” “Trinity, do you take Colton as your wedded husband?” “I do.” “By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” And with that being said, that tear that tickled my eye has now rolled down my face. So as we get lost in this mom

    …Trinity POV… The time has come for me to turn the corner. The time has come for me to make my bridal walk towards the man that I will be spending the rest of my life with. This is the very last moment that I can still decide to do this and turn around and run. But as I peek my head around to where he is standing at the altar, I know that I am exactly where I want to be. With a very nervous Ava behind me, I am being urged on to make my bridal walk down a carpet that is covered with, yes, much to Colton's horror; it is covered in pink rose petals. But first Ava pulls at my hair and checks my dress, and I have a quick look at my make-up. Ava then looks at me, "Now let us get this wedding on the way." I take one step forward and then another, short and hesitant, but slowly to my future. Then the wedding march starts playing, and I know that it is time to go. So I slip in that corning in absolute elegance. At first, my eyes lie

    …Trinity POV… What I feared has happened, Ava has dragged me into her room just before sunrise to start getting me ready for a wedding that is only happening in eight hours. By the looks of her, it seems that she has not slept a wink. So I refrain from making any comments and allow her to pull at my head in every direction to get the perfect do that, as she says, will complement my face and, of course, my dress. After what seems like at least three hours, she looks at me very satisfied in the mirror and nod at her creation. Next is my wedding dressing, now if I thought that this would be easier, well, it is an understatement. If it is not bad enough that they cannot tuck my breasts in properly, which seems to have grown overnight, they try to move my belly into the perfect spot. With only but an hour two spare, they slip into their dresses, and we look at each other, then of course she says something, and there goes my make-up down my

  • Protecting My Mafia Princess: The Rise Of A Crime Boss   The Countdown Begins

    Before sunset tomorrow, I will be married to the love of my life. To say that I am not a wreck would be a complete understatement. I do believe that I have told this once before, yet, again, I need to stop for one moment and take a step back, for, beyond all the craziness that fill our lives, I need to allow myself to remember what drives me. What makes this all worthwhile is the beauty that lies in my arms. Should I not have had her presence in my life, I would not have had the sheer willpower to take the impossible on. To have beauty in your life is easy, but to have the beauty of the woman that you love and the one that loves you in return is the greatest gift that one can experience. I can, with all honesty, say that there is no doubt that she completes my life. To be lonely for eternity can be seen as a life sentence, but having what you crave, is the greatest blessing. I have never been more assured to have chosen her to be mine for life. I

    After we bid our farewell to everyone, my intention is to retire to my room and not to leave it at least for another day. And I do see the same sentiment on my princess's face. But what I also noticed is that cheeky smile that is starting to rise at the corner of her lips. In such a strange time, I become aware of her arousal. "Princess, I do believe that you possess somewhat of a dilemma..." "Colton." "Yes, Princess?" "You shall possess your own dilemma if you wish to continue your sentence." So it is in awe as I watch her make elegant strides as she ascends the stairs. She moves every curve to perfect precision, her hips rock from side to side, and it peaks my arousal. I have to fight the desire to pull her back and take her right at this very moment. I can so easily push her petite frame into this very wall that is presenting itself at the perfect timing, and that is exactly what I intend on doing. It is as i

    Today is the day. It might as well be my wedding day, for I feel that I am near damn going to faint.So Trinity slammed me back with a condition of her own. If I want to get married, then she wants to have some dreadful engagement party. Well, I think I am nearly going to die; for a second time, I need to go down on my knee and ask her for her hand in marriage. So, while she is running around for what is the fifth dress to wear now, I sit in a silent chuckle as I find it rather amusing. Now all of them are all white; the first thing she so kindly pointed out to me is that you get different shades of white; well, that does not seem obvious to me at all. The second thing is that my blue shirt is not matching her white dress. Now I should have never asked her if it is the right kind of white, for I had some kind of white stilettos come flying my way. "Princess, how much longer are you going to take?" "Just give me five more minutes." S

    …Trinity POV… Colton grips me by the hips and crushes my body into him; with one loud growl, he lifts my feet from the floor and carries me backward toward the bed. We are kissing like crazy. Like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle but demanding, and it's nothing like I've ever experienced; every square inch of my body dissolves into his. My fingers grip his hair, pulling him closer. My veins throb, and my heart explodes. I have never wanted anyone like this before. My body falls back into the sheets; Colton leans over me and centers me on the bed before he settled on top of me. I feel him, all of him, pressed against me; I feel his cock throbbing against my thighs, his heart beating through his sculpted chest, his warm breath lingering on my skin.He feels fucking amazing. He continues downward until his lips are locked around my quivering nipple, his tongue circling the swollen tip. His hand strokes t

    Before she can protest, I pull her against the depths of my chest. I take in a deep breath and press her even deeper. "Princess, I want to own you, possess you, body and soul." Instead of answering, she reaches out to me, putting her small, warm hand on the back of my neck. Then she kisses me, first lightly, then more urgent. Her hips are tilted against mine; her breasts are against my chest; her whole body is sending a message that is undeniable. Then she nibbles my ear, touching my face softly with her fingertips, and she whispers, "Mr. Cruz, you are mine." "Oh, princess," I gasp as she takes another deep breath and pushes me back into the chair behind me. So I sit back into the chair and watch as her hands travel up her body; she caresses her exposed skin. Then she slides her hands to cup her breasts, rolling her nipples between her fingers. She brushes her brown hair away from her face as she turns and allows her hands to explore h
