Shadows of the Past I GIVE ALL DIRECTIONS!
Kevin“I promise I will appear more beautiful than ever. You’ll be proud of me,” she told me before I walked out the door.That I was leaving, and she was just standing there, made me so nervous and nervous. It was like I was being assaulted by a thousand conflicting senses. My thoughts were confused. I wanted to trust her, but I couldn’t help feeling a lot of doubt about her. After all, I had known her for a short time and she had proved to be a money man.“Boss, are you okay?” Eddy’s voice rang out like an alarm clock.“I’m fine! Let’s focus on what’s more important. Tonight’s dinner is the most important. Next week’s shipment depends on it.”I had to try to chase away all the nonsense that was occupying my thoughts. The most important thing was the business I was going to conclude that evening, and getting the goods on the ship in the most careful manner.“I want a car in front of Clara’s house at 4 P.M. It will bring her to the airport. That’s where my private plane will be, bring
Shadows of the Past NOTHING TO DO WITH HER
EMILY“Good morning, my sweet sleepyhead!” said Mike as he stroked my forehead.The timbre of his voice had a more pleasant resonance than my favorite musical song. I sat tight in his arms, my head on his chest. I glanced around and noticed we were in the bed in my room, not on the couch in the living room. Nothing was bothering me. I was delighted by the soft, diffused light that created an atmosphere of comforting tranquility. “Is it dark already?” I asked. “Yes. It’s 12 a.m.” “I don’t think I slept that long. I’ve been so lazy!” “You needed your rest. It’s good when you’re exhausted to rest to get your thoughts in order.” “How I got here. I honestly remember nothing.” “I held you in my arms until you fell asleep on the couch, then your father showed me your room and I brought you here.” “You watched over me that long?” “I honestly wish I had, but I felt sorry for your father, leaving him alone. He needed someone to talk to. He was thinking of Olivia
Shadows of the Past ONCE AGAIN HIS
Emily I gently pressed my lips to his, preventing him from continuing. He pulled me even tighter into his arms. His playful tongue gently opened my lips, gently entering an ever-eager paradise of exploration. It was a light kiss, growing ever more intense. The warmth I felt in my stomach rose in my chest, speeding up my heartbeat which was faster than usual, anyway. The scent of his perfume caressed my nostrils. My lips were captive, emanating a strong heat that was gradually but undeniably turning into the fiery passion of desire.One of his hands slipped from the grip he held me in. His playful fingers began a game of seduction, starting at my hair and running gently down my spine. I had already lost control of my thoughts and my body, which was already his slave. I was the slave of mad desire, of burning passion.I gently pulled away from him, leaving him puzzled. And then I smiled seductively at him. I walked over to the bed and stood there, asking him with my eyes if he wanted t
Shadows of the Past DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK!
Kevin “Kevin, although I’ve told you before, you’ve really outdone yourself now. I didn’t think you were that good with women. I underestimated you, I have to admit,” Luke said.“You didn’t have to deal with me to know me, Luke. We haven’t had a chance to talk yet,” I replied immediately.“We haven’t had a drink together either, come to think of it. We’ve always done business from a distance. I’m glad you saw me now,” he said.“Now it’s about something much bigger and more important. A deal of this magnitude called for a meeting as it is done in our world,” I replied.“Our world! That sounds too pompous. Who knows what the lady here imagines,” he said.His eyes sparkled as he looked at her, and mine were red with anger.“Carla! Please call me Carla. You are very noble, and I thank you,” she said elegantly.“You should thank me for finding you such a young and rich boyfriend,” I said wickedly.Her eyes immediately darted to me. She gave me an angry, yet puzzled look at the same time.
Shadows of the Past OUT OF PASSION
EmilyAfter a great night, an equally splendid morning followed. I awoke to the delightful smell of freshly brewed coffee and inviting pancakes. All I needed was a fiery kiss from Mike, except the bed was empty. The smell coming from the kitchen showed me the mood he had woken up in. It was clear we were both going to have a great day.I had woken up with an insatiable urge to get to work. I felt it was time to start the new book everyone was talking about. There was certainly no time to waste, so I jumped out of bed. After all, whoever said the night was a good candlestick was right.A quick shower and as light an outfit as possible were perfect for the start of the day. All that was missing was breakfast, which was expected to be a delicious one, and then diving into the realm of love stories. That was where I always escaped when I was sad or when I was happy. I missed writing so much. I wondered why I’d taken such a break and forgotten my passion. There was no point in looking for
Shadows of the Past DOUBLE OR NOTHING
Kevin“Kevin, I didn’t even realize you were back. We had lovely company,” Luke said after kissing Carla on the neck. “I’m glad you didn’t miss me. It was a terrible sense to leave my guests alone,” I replied sharply. I wasn’t glad at all, because I was gnawing inwardly with envy. This jealousy was the hardest battle I had ever fought. Standing up to an entire mafia clan seemed like a piece of cake compared to this. Not even the fiercest enemy could make me doubt myself. All until this woman came along, who, damn it, managed the impossible.Well, Eddy was right. That’s for me to know. There was no way I could show the clan that even the fearless Kevin Parker had weaknesses. “Don’t worry, it worked out well for us. We just got to know each other better, didn’t we, my love?” “Of course, kitten!” exclaimed Carla and kissed him on the forehead. I felt in those moments that I was shooting flames out of my nose and ears, and with my eyes, I was shooting poisoned arrows at
Shadows of the Past MORE BUSINESS
Kevin I opened the office door and beckoned Eddy in. I pulled him into a corner so we could talk without Luke hearing us. My office was super big, thankfully. I enjoyed having a lot of space where I spent most of my time.It was a big dilemma. I couldn’t afford to lose the business I’d already invested heavily in, but still his demands were far too high and time was extremely short.“He wants a double!” I said in a fierce voice.He looked at me in amazement. I liked him the most because we could understand each other by our looks. We thought alike and had the same fears.“Yes, but with half the amount up front. Otherwise, I say we don’t risk it. Raise the price too.”I didn’t answer him. I went back to my desk chair, where Luke was waiting for me. “Yes, I’ll help you, though your request is difficult. The price goes up 10% and we want half up front. It’s the only way I can help you,” I told him sternly. I wanted it to be clear from his voice that there was no room for further ne
Shadows of the Past FAMILY PROBLEM
Olivia“Calm down and listen to me! Luke is trying to provoke you and he succeeds. You’ve started to get too angry and are no longer focusing on the real reason for our meeting. We can’t afford to lose this deal. There’s a huge amount of money at stake, but also your reputation.”We all stood mute, listening intently to the entire discussion between the two. We were glad that the plan Frank had set up with his two colleagues had succeeded and that the boy introduced to the house had done his job better than anyone could have expected. To be honest, I was also glad that the voice I had heard had proved me right.“I congratulate you on the way you thought things through. You’ve done an excellent job with these microphones. I didn’t think you were capable of so much.” “You underestimated me?” he asked me, feigning surprise. “Something like that,” I replied, laughing. I expected him to agree with me, but possibly his male ego wouldn’t allow him to.... “Looks like you’ve st

Shadows of the Past HEAVEN
EMILYI still couldn’t believe everything we had experienced on the last day. It was all worth writing. I was sure it would make a wonderful book. A novel to write about my life story.It was unbelievable. Susan ruined my life, and she saved it. I was home because of her. Why had she sacrificed her life for us?“Why did you do that?” I finally asked her.“What did I do?” she asked me defiantly.“Why did you save me? You know you won’t have a quiet life with Kevin now.”“I won’t have a quiet life, anyway. My parents don’t want to see me and he’s with Carla. He’s sick of me. Besides, Carla’s willing to sacrifice even more than I have. She broke into the house of Kevin’s worst enemy just to get information for him,” she told me. “I also have pictures of her, Luke and other rivals of Kevin’s in various compromising situations and poses. When Kevin was fighting between life and death, she was partying with the rich guys and I was nursing him. But as soon as she came to her senses, she turn
Shadows of the Past THE SALVATION
MIKEI rushed over and pulled Eddy’s body off Emily. She was terrified! The crying and panic was preventing her from breathing normally. Her heart was pounding like crazy. She grabbed her torn dress and clutched it to her chest. She didn’t realize it was me next to her and not someone else. What had that bastard done to her?I tried to pick her up, but she pulled away. She was still in shock. She couldn’t realize I was there.“Baby, it’s me, Mike. You’re safe now.”She looked at me with wide eyes. When she realized I was indeed beside her, she released the wellspring of tears and threw herself into my arms.“We have to hurry. If Kevin comes back, it won’t be good for us,” Susan said from the doorway of the room.I picked Emily up and followed Susan. She knew how to sneak out of sight of Kevin’s bodyguards. The house was empty, so we went through quickly. We went down to the garage and got into a roomy station wagon. Susan was in front of the wheel and Emily and I climbed into the trun
Shadows of the Past ALL I HOLD DEAR
EMILY“Maybe? Have you checked to see if we’re siblings?” I asked in a nonchalant tone. I wanted to be stronger than Kevin could have ever imagined.I didn’t want to continue the conversation. I ran for the door, wanting to leave the room, but Kevin grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Eddy quickly came up beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. He glared at him, then turned back to me.“Stay here until I finish everything I have to say. Don’t you ever dare let me speak alone again. Besides, you’re not going anywhere. Here you’ll rot. This will be your grave,” he screamed.“I...” I was more afraid than ever, but not for myself but for what he was about to say.“I always thought you were his daughter. I took a DNA test to confirm it and that’s when I relieved myself.”“Then what do you want from me? I’m not the fruit of sin. I’m not your sister.”“You are not the fruit of sin, but you are the fruit of my childhood torment. I swore I would make you mine and give you the life I lived be
Shadows of the Past UNBEARABLE PAIN
EMILY“You lied to me?” I screamed.“How else would I get my hands on you?” he asked me mockingly.“Kevin, you don’t get to play with people’s lives the way you want. Why don’t you mind your own life and let us live ours? I promise I’ll talk Olivia into destroying your file,” I tried to convince him, hoping I could talk him down.“And you want me to believe you?” He asked harshly.“I’m not like you! I don’t lie!” I replied curtly.“Emily, you’re mine and you’re mine forever, whether you like it,” he continued in a calm tone.“You can do whatever you want with me, but leave them alone. Don’t touch them, they don’t answer to me,” I replied just as dryly.“Wow! Little princess claws out! My dear, you are in no position to negotiate or threaten. I remind you that you are in my territory. One command and you’re dead,” he replied sadistically.“Kevin, I’m not scared of you and you know it,” I said fiercely.“You really don’t know how to lie. You’re more afraid than you’ve ever felt. I can r
Shadows of the Past BROKEN PROMISES
EMILYI was afraid, more afraid than ever. Kevin was so unpredictable. He proved to be more dangerous than anyone else. He came back from the dead and was ready to destroy us all. I didn’t know what would happen to me there.In the end, it didn’t matter what happened to me. All I cared about was the safety of the people I loved. He promised Mike’s release if I stood by him. I wanted peace for everyone. My life was meaningless without Mike.The closer I got to the meeting place, the harder my heart pounded. I could feel it not in my chest where it belonged, but it was rising into my throat in a big, painful lump that was sapping my strength.In front of Menfail Park, a black car with tinted windows waited for me, just as the message had said. I looked around before opening the back door and seeing that there were no familiar eyes, I quickly got in.To my surprise, there was only a driver in the car who didn’t even say hello. As soon as I got in, I got another text message:“This phone
Shadows of the Past YOU ARE A BASTARD!
MIKECouldn’t believe that this bastard has so many lives, like a damn cat. I hated him. I even came to hate him more than anything else in the world. What had I done wrong to want him to see me destroyed?He kidnapped my wife and my unborn child, even though I left and withdrew from his life. I left him everything, but it still wasn’t right. What else did he want? Emily was mine. I wouldn’t leave her to anyone. I was fighting for her, as I wasn’t willing to lose her, too. Mary caused me enough pain. Then, when I saw Emily lifeless, it was cruel.I knew for sure where he was hiding, and I wasn’t afraid of him or his goons. Rather than live a panic-stricken life, then fight with my life. I was doing it for the woman I loved and for myself. I owed myself, Mary, and Emily.I raced at top speed toward the house where the bastard was holed up. I felt my blood boiling and my heart pounding with the rage I felt.When I got there, I burst through the gate, oblivious to the guards running afte
Shadows of the Past I'LL KILL HIM!
EmilyAs I stepped into the driveway in front of the house, my emotions overwhelmed me. I felt like I saw Kevin in front of me with every step. I even felt like I heard him.“I should have taken Olivia up on her offer to stay at Frank’s,” I thought angrily to myself.At Olivia’s wedding, I felt like all that wound had healed, but I realized there was still a flame smoldering in the depths of my heart.Mike got to know me very well and realized right away that the past broke my peace. I feared for a second that I might be overcome with jealousy, but I soon realized that Mike was not that kind of man. To my relief, Mike realized he was the only one I loved, but that the wounds of the past still hurt. Still, he knew, or at least I hoped he knew, that no one and nothing had any place between us. I only wanted him in my life!I opened the door carefully, as I had the wedding night scene in my eyes and in my ears. I could hear, like a melody on repeat, Kevin’s words that I had heard when I
Shadows of the Past I'LL TAKE THAT RISK
KEVINI wish I could have seen my idiot brother’s face when Eddy shot his girlfriend. Actually, his mistress was because she was still my wife.“Honey, please don’t get up. You’re still in a delicate state.” I hated being nagged, especially by Susan. She’d always been a nag who thought by throwing herself on my bed she’d have me in her clutches like a puppy. Except her plans didn’t coincide with mine, so I quickly chased her away. “You must be cautious, as you’re still weak. You’ve had a very serious accident and you haven’t fully recovered,” she continued, rousing me from my reverie.“Leave me! Get lost!” I yelled at her.“But ....” she tried to apologize in a trembling voice. I honestly had more important things to do than listen to her.“What don’t you get? I said leave!” I yelled at her again.“Kevin!” she said and walked closer to me. She tried to stroke my cheek, but I got so annoyed that I hit her across the face with all my strength. She looked at me with wide, questioning eye
Shadows of the Past FINALLY GOING HOME
Emily“Thanks for everything, baby. I loved the concert so much and especially the dedication you gave me,” I told her flushed.“What? Were you still in a coma?” he asked, surprised.“I don’t know how to explain, but I could hear everything. I wanted to wake up, but something was drawing me into a distant, pure world, something dreamlike. It felt so good there, but I was sad about your suffering. I don’t know if it was all real or just dreams, but I felt present in two totally different worlds,” I tried to explain.Mike smiled gently. He struck my cheek, then lifted my left hand and kissed it. The engagement ring gleamed beautifully in the beating sunlight that streamed nonchalantly in through the large parlor window.“Never mind what it was. You’re here with me now and that’s the most important thing right now. I love you infinitely wonderful woman!” he told me.His daily care helped me recover faster than the doctors expected. They always said that love works wonders, and that I was
