ARCANGELO POV

I'm in bed, and Bach is playing softly through the surround sound, but I can't fall asleep, my mind on the dark-haired petite beauty that is in my building.

Lola is on my mind twenty-four-seven. She's the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning and the last person in my thoughts before I close my eyes.

Working with her has been nothing but astonishing. We've been writing music about love, loss, happiness, hurt, and so entwined in our own little bubble that the assistants have to remind us to eat. I have never met someone who understands how I make music like she does.

It's like she was always tethered to my soul, and I just had to find her in the cosmos.

Even Cassie crept under my skin. She calls me her prince charming, and I'm not mad about it.

I wonder what they're doing right now. Cassie is probably asleep already, maybe Lola, too.

What would it feel like if they were here? Would Lola listen to classical music with me while I run my finge

  • Revenge on the Billionaire Triplets   Chapter One - In the Beginning

    JULIET POV (seven years old)I kiss my mother's smooth cheek lovingly. "I will see you when school's out, Mommy." There's no response. She's been like this for over two weeks now. She just sits in front of the window and stares outside. If I didn't give her food and water, she wouldn't have been eating, either. I hover at the front door to our apartment, worried about her. She's so beautiful. Just last week, I heard my best friend's mom talk over the phone about my mother's beauty. "She's beautiful, sure, but she's a little absent, don't you think?" Those were her exact words. I don't think she's absent. Sometimes, my mommy just gets a little sad, and I know it's because she thinks of her own daddy and the life she used to have. She's always telling me how she grew up in mansions like a princess, how we don't belong in our small two-bedroom apartment in the city that never stops raining. That one day, she will whisk me away and back to the life that those stupid Morettis sto

  • Revenge on the Billionaire Triplets   Chapter Two - In the Middle

    JULIET POV (Fifteen years old) I fold my arms as I lean back into my locker, inwardly cursing the fact that my cheerleading uniform is way too exposing, garnering attention that I absolutely do not want. Connor Johnson is blocking me in with both of his arms, and I squint up at him. "Don't you have a girlfriend to bother?" I ask in a bored tone when, in fact, my insides are raging. I want to punch him, kick him in the balls, and maybe take a baseball bat to his head. He smiles that arrogant smile at me that I absolutely despise. "You know you're my favorite toy, Ice." Ice. Short for Ice Queen. In middle school, the delinquents started calling me that. I didn't go out on dates, I didn't talk to boys or bothered hanging out. Apart from school, cheerleading, and Alyssa, I didn't care about anything or anyone else. Ice Queen became Ice in high school, and ever since, every fucking boy in a twenty mile radius has been trying to break me. I've become a challenge now. Even seniors a

    JULIET POV (EIGHTEEN ) I look at the bruises on my neck, my gaze traveling from the dark finger marks to meet my dead blue eyes in the mirror. I've now been choked more times than I care to think about. That seems to be the abuse of my father's choice. He chokes me until I pass out. Sometimes, I stand over his sleeping form, and I want to kill him. I want him to know what it feels like when you have someone's hands wrapped around your throat and have the life squeezed out of you, wondering if this would be the last time you're alive. He calls me whore. Slut. Tramp. Your mother's daughter. For three years, I've been living in agony. I pushed Alyssa away because she would have seen what state I was really in. I've become the true definition of the nickname Ice Queen now. I don't even have a friend anymore. What pisses me off the most is that it wasn't even hard to discard of her. Just a few unanswered calls and texts. Giving her the cold shoulder at school. Before I knew it, s

  • Revenge on the Billionaire Triplets   Chapter 4 -The Trophy

    JULIET POV Today is supposed to be my prom. Of course I'm not going. Not for a lack of trying from Connor Johnson's part. I don't know how the idiot actually has a girlfriend but keeps asking me out. And how stupid is the girlfriend for staying with him while he's actively pursuing another girl. Girls are as stupid as boys. My choice of school is public now, thanks to my chosen university, who sent me a cheerleading uniform and a photographer who made me do various poses so they can publish the images on their social media. My father had his hands around my throat as soon as he found out about that publicity stunt. I'm counting down the days until graduation so I can get the hell out of dodge. My high school cheerleading coach has hooked me up with a summer job in the West Coast at a cheerleading camp for elementary to middle school students. I'm eighteen now, so I don't need the permission of my father to do anything anymore. Freedom is lurking right around the corner. If I

    I run without thinking, the trophy still clutched in my hand. I run blindly, not knowing where my legs are carrying me. I should've known when I finally end up in the suburbs, sweat dripping from my face. It's not like I have anywhere else to go unless I go to the police and report what my father has been doing. But then I would have to fill in paperwork, lay a case against him, and all I want to do is just to get the fuck out of here and not look back. This city has shaped me and molded me with grief and sorrow. I want to say goodbye to it once and for all. So I don't have any other choice but to ring the doorbell of the house that has been more of a home to me than my own over the years. The door opens, and Alyssa's younger brother, Blake's eyes widen when he sees it's me standing on the other side. I can't even imagine what I look like right now. "Moooooommmmmm!" He shouts, not taking his eyes off me. In the past, he would've just stepped aside and let me in without saying a

    I wake up with a jolt, sweat coating my brow at the familiar feeling that someone is watching me. I've woken up numerous times in the past with this exact feeling, only to find my father standing by the side of my bed and just looking at me. Instead, this time, it's Alyssa standing there in her glittery gown that really doesn't suit her. Then the night comes rushing back to me. Me hitting my father over the head and then running. I hope he's alive. After everything, I hope I didn't kill him. When I think of revenge, death isn't a part of the equation. "So, you're dating Liam Boyle now?" I find my voice after my heart rate returns to normal. Alyssa switches on the bedside lamp and proceeds to get undressed from the glittery red concoction she's wearing. She shrugs as she gets dressed in a nightgown and slides in next to me. "He asked, and I said yes." "You don't just say yes to any boy who asks you out on a date." I tell her the same words I've told her countless times before.

  • Revenge on the Billionaire Triplets   Chapter 7 - A new beginning

    JULIET I like to think that my nickname, Ice Queen, is who I really am, but I'm not. An ice queen wouldn't feel so nervous when entering a new place. I should be unaffected, but the truth is, my heart is pounding in my chest as the cab drives through the university city to get me to my destination. Officially, school hasn't started yet, but the cheerleading team is having a training camp two weeks before the rest of the students pitch up. Usually training camps are brutal, and everyone tries to vie for a spot on the main team, but I've been training the whole summer, so I'm feeling confident. The real reason my heart is pounding has nothing to do with back flips or learning new cheers. It has everything to do with the fact that I might see a Moretti boy. For years, I've been lurking in the shadows on social media, creating fake profiles so I could spy on them and see what they're doing. For years, I've envisioned how I will one day ruin their lives like mine has been

    Brianna can sure talk a lot, and I nod and murmur where I think it's appropriate without listening to a word. Instead, my eyes are on the students who are on campus, soaking up the summer sun before fall sets in. My eyes widen when she stops at the football stadium. I've seen it on social media and on TV. but it doesn't do it justice. When I was little, my dad used to take me to football games, but that ended before I could get attached to the idea. High school stadiums have nothing on this. "We're meeting here?" My heart rate skyrockets. Why am I feeling nervous all of a sudden? Isn't this what I wanted? "Yeah!" Brianna grins. "It's tradition to have tryouts for the A-squad on the football field. That's what you're trying out for, to cheer for those guys all over the country. But don't be too nervous. Freshmen hardly ever make it." This girl doesn't know me. I live for challenges where people think I wouldn't be able to do things. One look at me, and everyone thi

I still have the two-day assessment coming up before I'm officially a resident, but I've been working for this all my life. I'm prepared and ready. Then I have this gorgeous woman roaming my apartment with my babies in her belly. Granted, she's currently shooting lasers at me while I'm calmly sipping my coffee before I have to leave for my shift. "You don't get to decide if I work or not, Alessi!" Summer shouts at me, pink blotches appearing on her cheeks. "You're completely taking over my life! First my apartment, and now this!" I might have told her supervising nurse that she will probably have to hire another nurse soon, seeing that Summer might quit her job. "I was just thinking about the future." I shrug. "You're mine, and I have to take care of you. Carrying twins is not going to be easy on your body, you think you can work the shifts you do being se

    AMELIA POV Alonso is blisfully asleep, his heart beating a steady rhythm under my hand. His face is turned towards me, and I memorize every single plane that I can. Up close, he's even more gorgeous with his face relaxed. His face is chiseled and strong, with sharp eyebrows and high sculpted cheekbones. Yet, his lips that are slightly opened in sleep are full and luscious, and his dark locks fall boyishly over his forehead. He is so beautiful that my heart can't take that I have to give him up. But it's what I have to do. For his sake, not mine. My tears fall freely, and I try not to sob as I carefully extricate myself from his embrace, hoping he doesn't wake up. Both my pussy and ass are throbbing, and I wince when I pull on my pants, but it was all worth it. My body will heal. My heart won't. I find a notebook and pen in the dresser and write him a note. I don't have the guts to do it in his face, and he probably won't accept it anyway. I love you, I'm sorry.

    ALONSO POV "I'll be there in fifteen." I repeatedly look at the text message that I received from Fly-girl from her friend's phone. Hers is either being tracked or bugged, and it pisses me the fuck off to be honest. Shouldn't she be able to do what the fuck she wants? My mother's words that these aren't normal people rings through my mind. I desperately want to whisk her away, take care of her, but I know for a fact the whole military would come after us if I dared to do something to that extent. No, I'm going to need to find a way for her family to accept me. We need to find those damn girls to put the record straight, even if I have to go look for them myself. The bell from the front gate reverberates through the house, and I check the security camera at the front door. The person looks like she's disguising herself in all black with a hoodie drawn over her head, but Fly-girl could be wearing a sack, and I'd still know it's her. I let her in and open the front door, practi

    AMELIA POV There are barely any people at the funeral. It's just me and my family, the Millers, and what I assume are a few drink buddies of Eric. I don't understand the pitying glances they send my way. I feel nothing for the man in the casket. Once upon a time, I feared him, I hated him, but never as much as I hated the Morettis. My heart clenches at the thought of Alonso in this fucked up city I don't want to be in. I don't want him tainted by its darkness. Even now, I'm not feeling sad because of my former father, but I'm sad because of what I have to do. After everything happened with me trying to get revenge on the Morettis, I thought I could finally live happily ever after. But my life wasn't meant to be easy, and I have to make another sacrifice. Eric will be cremated, so the service is short, and I breathe a sigh of relief when it's over. A chapter closed forever. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm not grateful. Maybe not for the way that he died, but that I'm fi

    ALONSO POV I'm restless as I wait for any kind of news from Amelia. We've already been in Seattle for a day, and it's been radio silent. Apart from a small news article about the murder of Eric Monroe, there hasn't been any news about funeral arrangements. I'm even scouring social media to see if anyone hasn't spotted the Secretary of Defense out and about, but nothing. "I hate to tell you this, son, but maybe she doesn't want to see you right now." Dad claps my shoulder as I search various news sites for any information about a burial. I shake my head without saying anything. I know that's not true. There's no way I could crave someone the way I crave Amelia, and she doesn't want me. It's just impossible. I definitely didn't imagine our connection. "Maybe we should go home." He squeezes my shoulder. "There's a PR nightmare to deal with, and Kevin wants you in training." "No." I immediately get up from the table and walk over to the vast windows overlooking the river.

    AMELIA POV I've never been scared of Charles Astor. To the world, he exudes this heard exterior, but with me, he has always been soft, almost like a teddy bear. Yet he is the same man who told me nobody messes with his family, and he sure has proved that over and over. He's proved it by succeeding in putting Alonso in the public eye for all the wrong reasons, and he succeeded in killing Eric Monroe without any repercussions. He did warn me, but I never thought that this would be the length he would go. I fear Charles Astor now, not for myself, but for Alonso. Who knows what he might do next if Alonso and I don't stay away from each other? I already know what I have to do, and I keep stealing glances to my father while we're meeting with the funeral director. He's calm and in charge, orchestrating the funeral of the very man he killed. And even though my mother knows what he did, what he's capable of doing, she's by his side in her classy self looking like nothing is wrong he

    AMELIA POV Being back in the city that holds so many bad memories to me feels both suffocating and freeing. Suffocating, because I swore I would never come back here ever again. Freeing because the two people who made my life a living hell are both dead. When I received the phone call that the man who I thought was my father, was murdered in a mugging gone wrong, I was on the verge of yet another panic attack, but then I realised he no longer held any power over me. I wasn't the vulnerable teenager he could abuse anymore. My relationship with my real parents might be in shambles right now, but I know what they're doing comes from a place of love and protection. It might be stifling, but I know they'll never abandon me. The hotel suite we're staying in is a far cry from the apartment I grew up in, and I'm still shocked that Eric Monroe still had me listed as his next-of-kin. His own family wanted nothing to do with him after he got married to Raquel. I can't blame them. They pr

    ARCANGELO POV I glance at Cassie sleeping on the couch, and then I check the time on my phone. It's already past nine, and Lola is still going at it in the booth hours later. I wait until she finishes another take before pressing the intercom button. "Wanna call it a day?" She looks at me like I've personally offended her, hurriedly taking a sip from her water bottle. "What, no! I'm not satisfied with the song yet." I glance at Cassie again. "Cassie is out." I see the guilt in her eyes, and it's as if I feel it inside my soul. I don't want that look on her beautiful face ever again. "I can take her with me if you want." I say hesitantly. "I have to drop by my parents', she can sleep in my old bedroom if that's okay with you. You can just call when you're done, and I can come get you, or the driver can drop you at my parents'. I'll take care of her, I promise." Doubt and confusion cloud her eyes. I know what's going on in her head. You don't trust anyone in t
