Addiction is like not having control of your desire for something. Luca Perez, a 29-year-old man is mature enough not to be lured by a temptation. Yet he loses control whenever she's close. Angela Colt is forbidden for the likes of him. She is off-limits. She is his best friend's sister, ten years younger than him. Luca couldn't go through the same pain again, but his addiction was slowly morphing into something more feral and darker which he had never felt before. * Life can be cruel sometimes; you have to find a way to weave through hell and stand strong. Angela is the youngest daughter of the Colt family. A 19-year-old, adrenaline junkie and an adventure lover. Everything was going super fine until she realized her feelings for a certain someone. The person she should never feel for or even think about. Luca Perez. 'You can never fix the broken glass because, in the end, you'll bleed.' But little did she know she could resist everything except temptation.

"I can't hear you, Mom," He screamed from his room. "You're done for if I find it for you!" She hollered back kneading the dough. "Go, help him. I'll look after this," Daphne said as Angela passed her a thankful smile, washed her hands, and hurried to her son's room. Angela stepped inside only to gasp when she found his room turned upside down. He didn't just do that. "Levi, what have you done?" She was on the edge as the little devil shrugged his shoulders. "I told you I couldn't find it," he said with a pout staring up at his mom. "How old are you?" she asked, tapping her foot patiently on the floor with her arms crossed over her chest. "Eight." "Why does your room look like a five-year-old kid's?" "Are you indirectly insulting me, mom?" She narrowed her eyes at him. Angela stomped over the cupboard, she retrieved the c
"You look stunning," Emma said. Her eyes were glassy as she got emotional looking at her baby dressed in a wedding gown ready to enter her new life. "Mom," the girl hugged her mom lovingly as Emma smiled sadly. She was happy but sad at the same time because Angela and Luca would be living in San Francisco rather than in the packhouse with them. Angela has dreams to fulfill and Luca would support her through thick and thin. Emma said she needed to see the arrangements as she left her room. Everyone was busy with the work which left her alone. Angela stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful white gown, just like that of a princess. Her hair was in a neat bun, elegant makeup, and she looked extremely beautiful. She wondered if Luca would like it or not. The girl was still admiring her reflection when she heard a heavy thud and her eyes snapped on the window. Angela's jaw slacked, finding Luca dressed in his perfect black tux standing near the window immo
Angela was nervous. She was glad that Silvia and Hunter already knew the whole truth. But she couldn't predict the reaction of the rest of her family. On her birthday everyone was so excited to find her mate and she found her mate, she quietly fled, and no one knew about it. They all love Luca, so it won't be a crazy deal like when everyone found out Aurora's mate was Draken. It was complete chaos at that time. If her family could worry about something, then it might be the age gap but then again, her parents had a huge age gap between them. A big hand grabbed her thigh giving it a light squeeze as she glanced at Luca. "Don't worry, everything will be fine," Luca assured her as she passed him a soft smile. If only it was that easy. Of course, her family would be happy for her, but she couldn't wash off the nervousness. For the last two days, she was constantly thinking about the time Luca stopped her from marking him. If he wanted, he could let her mark him, so she was bound to
Luca tried to comfort her as he cursed himself for giving those details. Angela's heart was aching. She was hurting the man who loved her. She was so cruel. Luca hugged her close to his chest as he laid them both on the bed. He cuddled her close to his chest saying sweet nothings and she slowly drifted into darkness and Luca went to sleep as well. The vibration of her phone brought her out of her sleep as she checked her phone and found a folder that had all the photoshoot pictures that came out so beautifully. She thanked the photographer. Angela felt a heavy weight on her chest. She glanced at the soundly sleeping Luca. Stepping out of bed, she grabbed her phone and stepped out of the room. Angela went to the terrace for some fresh air and to her surprise there was a pool there. The blue water reflected under the crescent moon, sparkling like stars. Angela set their picture in which they were kissing as her wallpaper. She removed her dress and set it on the chair under
"Why are we here?" she asked softly. He was holding her hand in his warm embrace escorting her into a prestigious boutique."You'll know," That was all he was saying ever since they left the house.The manager escorted them to the VIP section on the top floor. Luca was served some drinks while the manager showed Angela extremely gorgeous dresses."Mr. Perez had asked us to present our finest collection to you, ma'am," The lady said while showing more dresses.Angela had no clue what was happening, but she went with the flow. She chose two dresses and stepped into the changing room.She wore the first dress and stepped out flaunting it in front of Luca who jutted his chin out in appreciation. His eyes glimmered with joyous shine, but his jaw was clenched. Maybe he was stopping himself from pouncing on her.Her exams just finished yesterday, and they have been roaming out of the house since morning.Angela was sad and kind of depressed in the past week because the investors refused to i
Luca was making sandwiches. He had already washed the dishes because he was free. They had dinner together. It has been a week since she let him do anything. They'd kiss and whenever things would get a little heated, she'd flee to her room and lock herself in. It was a f*cking torture, but he was bearing it patiently. Angela was such a good student. He knew that ever since training days. She always gave her hardest in everything. She'd study late at night, which made him worried, but she would comfort him saying it was no big deal that she always studied late at night. He put the sauce in a heart shape on top of the bread and smiled. She'd love it. He didn't cut the sandwich because that split the heart in two. He prepared warm milk for her. She didn't like milk and avoided it at all costs, but he knew it was good for her. So, he often had to force her to drink it. Placing the food in the wooden tray, he removed his apron and took the tray to her room. Luckily, it was unlocked.
"Where are we headed to?" Luca asked as they walked over to their bikes fully dressed in their gear and helmet. "Somewhere," she said, getting on her bike. His eyes darted to her gorgeous ass, and he refrained himself from touching her rear. Luca quietly got on his bike. The same bike with which he won second place in that street race. "Follow me," She mused, riding ahead of him as he followed her. Luca noticed how a few of the drivers kept staring at her and he had to glare at them viciously for them to avert their gaze from Angela. He was getting jealous to the point he wanted to smash their side mirrors just to look at her longer than necessary. He rode close behind her so all the f*ckers would know she was off-limits. While driving, he grabbed his phone and clicked some of her pictures secretly but the way she shook her head, despite wearing a helmet, he could tell she saw what he was doing through the side mirror. Angela pulled the bike over and stepped down from it
He was tempted to smash the things and put them on fire but refrained from doing so. Firstly, he didn't want to make her mad and secondly, there was a possibility that one of her friends sent her this. But for what? Luca tried to mask his expressions as he walked back to his room only to flinch when she blew a party popper on him. That scared him for a fleeting second but his hold on the stuff tightened. Angela stood in front of him, only in his shirt, her hair was an exotic mess, her cheeks flushed, and her lips swollen with love bites on her neck. She looked thoroughly f*cked. The comical look on his face had her bursting out laughing and she looked so f*cking radiant. "Happy Birthday," She beamed. For a second he was confused before his eyes widened and the realization dawned on him. "What date is today?" he asked, still unsure as she grabbed the stuff from him and placed the box on the bed and the flowers. "Keep holding them," she told him as he kept holding the heart-s
Angela was in the kitchen. "Let me do it, girl. Why are you persistent in making breakfast today?" Daphne asked for the fifth time, but Angela just smiled winking at her as she poured the batter of pancake in the pan. "And you won't even tell me what the special occasion is about?" Daphne asked and Angela just shrugged her shoulders. She set the food on the slab, sliced fruits, pancakes, toast, omelet, and juice. Angela heard the footsteps and her heartbeat quickened. Luca stepped into the kitchen as he glanced at the food and his eyes shot to her. "Come on, eat up," Angela smiled, getting rid of her apron as she took the stool beside him and dropped a kiss on his cheek, mumbling a soft good morning. Luca's ears tinted red as he stared at her with slightly wide eyes while the spatula fell from Daphne's hand who gaped at them. When Angela winked at her, Daphne closed her mouth and tried not to beam joyously as she winked back at Angela who couldn't help but laugh wholeheartedl
"I was looking forward to it," Emma's soft voice filtered through the phone as Angela breathed in deeply, closing her eyes for a brief second. It was always the hardest for her to break her mother's expectations like that. "I'm sorry, mom. I was busy with the upcoming exams." "I know but everyone was there except you. We missed you so much. I want to hug you; you know we all love you so much." "Of course, mom. I love you all more. Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise visit as soon as I'm done with my exams. Take care of yourself." "You too, Angela. Come back home soon." Angela tossed her phone on the bed beside her and sighed staring at the ceiling. That was tough. Angela also wanted to go back home even for a little while, but she couldn't because of someone whom she detests with all her guts. Luca Perez. She still remembered that night as vividly as possible despite all her efforts to forget about it. Years passed and she had successfully maintained her distance from ...
