Ari’s POVI quickly tapped myself out of it. This was not supposed to be happening. I didn’t even know who this was, but wouldn’t that make it all the better? I would just have to have this one time fun and pretend none of it ever happened. At this point, as I and this guy strolled into the room alone, I knew all I wanted was him – Cross.Or I needed a substitute…The man leaned in and placed his tough lips on mine. I melted into the kiss, my body subconsciously drawing closer to him as his lips wrapped more aggressively around mine, sucking in my breath. His hands were calloused and rough, but his touch was gentle, and I felt a sense of longing that she hadn't felt before."What are you doing to me?" He murmured, his voice low.I drew back, my cheeks burning. "What are you talking about?""You're different," he said, his gray eyes searching my face. "You're not like the other girls."I laughed, my tone sarcastic. "So I've been told."From Cross.His breath grew more rapid. "You're ex

Cross’ POVMira’s threat rang in my ears long after I left her apartment.“You’ll be hearing from my uncle soon. North Bay isn’t finished with you.”Her smug voice grated against my nerves. But worse than that was the image of Ari flashing through my mind. Mira knew about her. She had made it crystal clear that Ariana was in her sights.I couldn’t let that happen.I paced the length of my lair, my thoughts racing. I had to keep Ari safe, even if she didn’t want me around.“Gustav!” I barked.He entered quickly, his posture rigid. “Boss?”“I want eyes on Ariana. Always,” I said firmly. “She’s not to go anywhere without someone watching her. If anything feels off, I want to know immediately.”Gustav nodded. “Understood. Do you want me to tail her myself?”“Yes,” I said. “I’ll also be with you every now and then.”He blinked. “I’ll have the car ready.”The next day, I parked a safe distance from the precinct, watching as Ari arrived. She looked… tired. Exhausted, even. The way she dragg

Cross’ POVThe moment I stepped inside the dimly lit room, the sight before me made my blood boil.Ari. Half-naked. Pressed against the wall.And him. Some bastard standing too close, his hands on her skin like he had any damn right.His gaze flicked toward me, and instead of moving, he smirked. “Wrong room, buddy. Get out.”I didn’t move. I couldn’t. My fists curled at my sides, my entire body vibrating with barely contained rage.Ari’s eyes met mine, wide with panic. “Cross…” her voice was shaky, as if she was still processing my presence.The bastard chuckled, running a hand lazily down her arm. “So, this is your guy, huh? Should’ve told me earlier. We could’ve had a little fun with him watching.”My vision blurred with fury.Ari tried to step away, but he tightened his grip on her wrist, keeping her pinned. “What’s wrong, baby? Weren’t you just begging me to take you somewhere private?”“Let me go,” Ari snapped, struggling now.“Let her go,” I growled, my voice deadly calm.The gu

Ari’s POVI stormed out of the room, my heart racing as my feet carried me far away from the body, far away from Cross. The reality of what CI had just done slammed into me like a freight train.I killed a man.I hadn’t meant to. It wasn’t planned. But my hands… my own hands had taken a life.Tears blurred my vision as I moved through the crowd, my chest tightening, making it hard to breathe. I forced my posture to relax, knowing that if I showed even the slightest bit of panic, people would start to notice. I spotted Kaelie still sitting at the bar, sipping her drink, oblivious to the storm raging inside me.I wiped my face quickly and approached her. “Kaelie, let’s go.”She blinked up at me, pouting slightly. “Already? But I just got another drink.”“It’s late,” I said, keeping my voice as steady as I could. “My new boss is a nightmare. I can’t afford to be out too long.”Kaelie sighed dramatically but set her glass down. “Fine, fine. You’re such a killjoy sometimes.” She stood, str

Ari’s POVI woke up in the middle of the night, my head pounding, my face throbbing with a dull, relentless ache. I sat up slowly, touching my cheek gingerly. A sharp sting shot through my skin.Great. Just great.Dragging myself to the bathroom, I flicked on the light and winced at my reflection. My eye was swollen, a dark bruise forming around it. The area around my cheekbone was red and tender.Jonathan had hit me.The realization settled in again, making my stomach twist. I had spent hours crying over it, but now… now, I just felt numb.There was no way I was showing up at work like this. I spent the rest of the night either laying sleepless on my bed, strolling through the sitting room, or nursing the swollen spot just beneath my eye.How dare him?It was going to be quite difficult to forgive him for this one. As daylight finally set in, I grabbed my phone and dialled the precinct’s number. After a few rings, a woman’s voice answered.“Detective Walsh?”I swallowed. “Yeah. I—I n

Cross’ POVI had told myself I was done.I wasn’t going back. I wasn’t going to let Ariana pull me in again just to push me away.She made it clear—she didn’t want me in her life. And yet, here I was, pacing in my lair while Gustav and a few of my men stood by, waiting for instructions. Something was brewing in the city. The underworld had been unusually restless the past few days, and I knew it had Mira written all over it.“What’s the word?” I asked, stopping in front of Gustav.Gustav cleared his throat. “There’s talk that someone’s been moving shipments through the North Bay. Illegal arms, drugs—big deals. And Mira’s name keeps popping up.”Of course it did.I ran a hand down my face. “What else?”Gustav hesitated before adding, “Some say she’s been in contact with outsiders. People from across the border. If that’s true, she’s expanding.”My jaw clenched. Mira was always ambitious, but this was reckless. She was making moves far bigger than she could control. And if North Bay was

Cross’ POVJonathan’s smug smirk faltered, but he still tried to play it off. “Look, man, whatever problem you have, take it up with Ari.”I chuckled darkly, shaking my head. “Oh, I am taking it up with Ari. But you? You’re a loose end I need to tie up.” Jonathan shifted in his seat, finally realizing he wasn’t in control of this situation. His eyes flickered around the bar, searching for an escape.Too late.My men were already stationed near every exit. There was no way out. Jonathan tried to laugh, but it came out nervous. “Come on, man. We don’t need to do this here.”I leaned closer, voice dangerously low. “You’re right. We don’t.” And then I grabbed him.Jonathan barely had time to react before I yanked him off his stool and slammed him into the bar counter. His glass toppled over, shattering as he gasped in pain. The room went silent.“Shit!” he groaned, gripping the edge of the bar for support. “You’re fucking crazy.”“Crazy?” I repeated, my voice deceptively calm. “No, Jonath

Ari’s POV The moment Cross stormed out of my house, I collapsed onto my couch, feeling the weight of everything come crashing down on me again. I had warned him. I had begged him to stay away. But Cross was relentless. He didn’t listen. He never did. And Jonathan… I touched the tender bruise on my cheek, wincing slightly. Everything about my life had spiraled out of control. I was tired. Exhausted. All I wanted was peace. I wiped my face and took a deep breath. If I kept breaking down every night, I’d never be able to pull myself together. Maybe I deserved all of this—maybe this was my punishment for leading my team into a dead end, for what happened to Aaron. I needed to push through. I needed to go to work, do my damn job, and prove that I was still worth something. So, I forced myself up and began preparing for the next day. *** It was Gina that welcomed me the next day, and not with the best news. I caught sight of her near the bulletin board, whispering to another officer.

Cross’ POVThe roar of the engine filled my ears as I sped down the deserted road, the air slashing across my face. My mind was a storm, thoughts slamming into each other. Ari was in trouble. I didn’t know where, I didn’t know how, but I could feel it. The moment I saw that unknown number flash on my screen, I knew. And when the call disconnected before a voice could even come through, I didn’t hesitate. With a flick of my wrist, I activated the tracker embedded in my device, hacking into the last known coordinates of the signal.The result made my blood run cold.A forest. The middle of nowhere. And a part of me already knew who had taken her.Jonathan.If Mira could have worked with someone… Could it be him?The bastard wasn’t dead. Not yet. But I was about to fix that.I pushed the bike harder, trees blurring past me in dark smudges. The location was getting closer, the beeping on my tracker speeding up. My gut clenched as a shadowy structure came into view. An uncompleted buildi

Ari’s POVI ran.Blindly. Desperately. My breath came in ragged gasps, my legs screaming for rest, but I didn't dare stop. What I didn’t expect outside the building was a stretch of green - the woods…I cursed.Behind me, his voice slithered through the trees, taunting, sing-song, twisted in its mockery."Ari, come out, come out wherever you are…"A shudder ripped through me. He was enjoying this. The chase. The fear. The sheer power he had over me.I pushed forward, stumbling over uneven ground. My body ached, but I forced myself onward, lungs burning, heart hammering against my ribs. If I stopped, I was dead.Up ahead, a fallen tree loomed. I dropped to my knees, crawling underneath, pressing myself against the damp earth. I clenched my fists, holding my breath. Maybe, just maybe, I could disappear into the shadows.The silence stretched.Then—a hand clamped around my ankle.A scream tore from my throat as I was yanked backward, my nails clawing at the ground, grasping for anything

Ariana’s POVDarkness.It was thick, suffocating, pressing against me like a second skin.My wrists burned from the restraints, bound so tightly I could feel the circulation slowing. My ankles were the same—tied, restrained, useless. My breath was uneven, a mix of panic and frustration, chest rising and falling against the gag tied around my mouth.I tried to move. Failed.I tried again, twisting my body, but all it did was send a sharp pain shooting through my shoulders.Where the hell was I?The last thing I remembered was stepping into my apartment. Then—darkness.Now I was here.And I wasn’t alone.A noise—a rustling, a whimper—echoed through the blackness.Then, a voice. Weak. Trembling. Familiar.“…Ari?”My body froze.That voice.That broken, barely-there whisper.Kaelie.My head snapped toward the sound, my eyes adjusting to the dimness of what little light seeped through the cracks of wherever the fuck we were.And then—I saw her.Tied. Beaten. Bloody.She was slumped against

Cross’ POVAs I ran through to the car, I already spotted what was coming. If Mira already knew about Ari, she had definitely told the Don, and the Don was already in the picture. If the Don was in the picture, they were coming for me. I and the Don had made an agreement, and that was to stay faithful to Mira.That agreement was broken.In no time, the Don’s men would be here.The air was thick with gasoline and sweat as I slipped into the car. My fingers tightened around the steering wheel as I reached for my phone, barely suppressing the rush of adrenaline flooding my veins.The Don may be on me, but I also had my plans.And it was time to put it in motion.The call rang once before Gustav answered.“It’s time.”There was no hesitation. No questions. Only a sharp exhale from the other end of the line before the call cut off.And then—The roar of engines.Headlights flared in the distance, then multiplied like wildfire. The Don’s men poured in from every alley, every street, surroun

Cross’ POVThe city streets were still drenched in the silence of the early morning when I arrived at the hideout. My body ached from exhaustion, but my mind was sharper than ever.Leo was dead.That truth weighed on me like chains, heavy and unrelenting. I had spent years crawling out of the grave only to return and find the ones I left behind buried instead.Leo should have been here. Laughing. Drinking. Breathing.Instead, we were about to put him in the ground.I entered the dimly lit warehouse, my boots echoing against the cold concrete. Gustav was already there, leaning against a wooden crate, a cigarette burning low between his fingers.He looked up at me, his sharp eyes unreadable. "You're back."I nodded. "Get the men ready. We're taking Leo home."Gustav exhaled a cloud of smoke before flicking the cigarette away. “Took you long enough, boss. I gat you, anyway.” he muttered, pushing off the crate. “I’ll round them up.”Within minutes, my men—Leo’s men—our family—began to gat

Ari's POVThe world was still wrapped in the quiet, heavy embrace of the early morning when I stirred. My body felt warm, blanketed by the remnants of a presence so familiar yet so distant that, for a moment, I thought I was still dreaming.And then I felt it.A slow, steady breath against my neck.The warmth of a body pressed against mine.An arm lazily draped over my waist.Reality settled in.I didn't dare move—not yet. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my heart swelling, aching, twisting. He was here. Cross was here. Alive. In my bed.The night had been a storm of emotions, fists, accusations, and unbridled relief. And now, here we were, tangled in the stillness, as if the world hadn’t turned upside down just hours ago.Slowly, I turned my head, and there he was.Cross.His face, barely inches from mine, softened in sleep. His long lashes cast faint shadows on his sharp cheekbones, his lips slightly parted, chest rising and falling in a rhythm that had once been the most c

Ari's POVOnce we reached the bed, he pushed me down before pulling his trouser and boxer off, and then climbing on top of me, his hard length rubbing against my thigh."Spread your legs for me." Cross ordered, his eyes locked on mine as he waited for me to comply.I obeyed, opening my legs wide, exposing my pussy to him.He reached down and ran his finger over my folds, his cock twitching when he saw how wet I was."You're dripping." He smiled, bringing his fingers to his mouth and he licked them clean.He leaned forward, his face only inches from mine. "Are you ready for me, Ari?""Yes," I gasped, my body aching for him.Cross grinned and gripped his cock, he slid the tip along my folds, teasing me to further wetness before pushing himself inside me, his eyes closing and his face tightening as he felt me wrap around his cock."So tight," he groaned. "And so wet.""Yeah." I cried out, arching my back as he started thrusting.His thrusts were slow and steady at first, but they gradual

Ari's POVThe taste of him was intoxicating.The way his tongue slid against mine, his teeth scraping across my lower lip.I didn’t realize that I was pressed up against the wall until his hand slid up the back of my shirt, fingers playing across the bare skin of my back.I gasped."Cross."His name slipped out. It felt like a plea. Or a prayer. But I didn't care.I didn't care at all what it meant or felt like.Right now, all that mattered was him and how he was making me feel.The way his lips were on mine.The way his body pressed against me.Cross's mouth moved to my neck, his teeth grazing over the sensitive skin. I arched into him, heat flooding through me as I have into my desires.It wasn't enough.It would never be enough. Not with Cross.I tugged at the hem of his shirt, my hands slipping underneath to touch the smooth, hard muscles beneath."Take it off," I breathed out, my voice thick with lust. Raw and heavy.Cross pulled back, a smirk on his lips."Are you sure?""Yes,"

Ari's POVThe night stretched on, endless and suffocating. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to close my eyes for more than a few seconds without a wave of paranoia washing over me. My body was exhausted, but my mind refused to shut down. Every creak, every distant honk of a car outside sent a shiver down my spine. I could still feel the weight of what had happened—Kaelie missing, the attack at her house, and then…Cross.The name burned inside my head like fire. It wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be possible. He was dead. I had seen him buried… No, the body was “evidence.” But I had mourned him, shattered myself trying to move on. I had told myself a thousand times that he was gone. But tonight, he was there—flesh, blood, and rage. My rescuer. My nightmare. My ghost.Or was it him?Jeez… What was I doing to myself?A shuddering breath escaped my lips.Perhaps, I just needed to sleep and wake up and everything will be alright.But then I heard it.A noise. A faint rustling
