Liliana just wanted to escape her past. Jarek Falcon had other plans. He’s the heir to a mafia empire. She’s a girl with nothing to lose. When Jarek’s obsession turns to cruelty, Liliana runs—straight into the arms of someone from her past. However, people change and when she discovers a sinister plan in the making, she finds herself running once again—straight to the streets. Years later, Jarek finds her again. He needs an heir to claim his inheritance. She needs a way to a better life. Their deal is simple: a child in exchange for a lifetime of security. But love complicates everything. Jarek realizes too late that Liliana isn’t just a means to an end. She’s the one he can’t live without. The problem? She wants nothing to do with him. Can he rewrite their story, or will his past destroy any chance of a future?
View MoreLiliana4 Years LaterI'm sitting outside my makeshift house with two of my neighbors as we play a game of cards. We usually do it when none of us are out trying to earn money. The two of them panhandle all day, whereas I try to stay out of the public's eye.My lack of a birth certificate or proof that I was, in fact, born here makes it hard to get a real job. I get it, I probably could have gone to the courthouse, but the loops I would have needed to go through because Heath had taken my ID just didn't fit into my timeline. I hadn't expected to stay here until I started seeing flyers with my face on them being put up all around town. That's when I knew I needed to burrow deeper into the parts of town that decent people would never venture into.I wouldn't say Heath Richards was decent, but I know he wouldn't have looked in the dilapidated building I hid myself in for that first year of hiding. Thoughts of hitchhiking to the next town had crossed my mind, but then I'd have to be seen
LilianaI wake up and stretch. I've been sleeping in Heath's bed ever since that first night we were intimate. It's been about two weeks, and I still haven't let him take it all the way; I'm just not comfortable with it yet.It's still early, so I'm surprised that I find it empty when I look over to his side of the bed. Heath never rises so early; he's a late sleeper. Throwing back the covers, I hug myself against the slight chill in the air as I pad my way to the door.I'm dressed only in one of Heath's heavy metal rock band t-shirts, and my feet are bare. When I come down the hallway, I can only hear the muffled sound of Heath's voice. Smiling, I wonder who he could be talking to other than himself, but when I hear him say my name, I slow down until I'm just by the living room doorway."Yeah, I've been working with her. Lily's turning into a real porn star. Her cherry will bring in a shit ton of money when we're ready." There's a long pause, and then his next words clarify any confu
JarekIt's been a whole fucking week, and Liliana has somehow disappeared. How one simple girl can fall off the radar as she did is beyond me. Yeah, she pawned off the bracelet, but that asshole only gave her a measly five hundred dollars, where I had paid four grand for it. I'd thank him because without the money that she should have gotten for it but didn't, she won't get too far, yet I want to beat the fucker for swindling my pauper.However, even without the money, Liliana has still been able to evade me. She has to have someone helping her—I'd bet my life on it, but who the hell could that be? My pauper has no friends.Scrolling through my email, I come across one from Carl that I never opened. The subject line says, Inheritance. How the fuck did I miss this? I guess having my mind on my pauper all week, had me forgetting all about my other issue. With Carmen gone all week, it's been quiet at the house, so I never thought twice about the inheritance shit.As I scan the email's co
LilianaI stare up at Heath and remember all the times that I wish he had seen me as a woman when we were younger, and now, here we are. He sees me as a woman who he wants to teach, but does this mean that he likes me that way, or is he only trying to be nice? "Do you want to teach me?" I ask my own question. His dimples poke out as he grins that boyish grin that I've always loved. "I would love to teach you this and so much more if you'd let me." He caresses my cheek, and I lean into his hand. "Let's forget the movie for now," he says as he takes my hand and pulls me up from the couch. I know exactly what he's thinking and I don't know if I'm ready for that just yet, and I tell him so. "Heath, I don't know about the rest. At least not yet." "It's okay, Lily. There is no rush for all that. Let's go to the bedroom and get comfortable, and I will teach you the basics while we wait for the food to arrive.""O-okay." I let him pull me into his room.I've been sleeping on his couch the
Liliana"What do you mean it's only worth three hundred dollars? I can tell you right now that this bracelet was probably at least four figures!" I tell the third and last pawn shop owner."I'll give you four hundred tops for it." The slimy owner states, looking bored.There isn't much I can do about it; this shop is willing to pay the most, but I try again, "How about six hundred?"Looking annoyed now because he's trying to watch a horse race on the old static television that sits in the corner of the counter, he gives me his last offer: "Five hundred. Now, either take it or get the hell out of here!""Okay, I'll take it." I hand him the bracelet and the box, and he gives me five crisp one-hundred-dollar bills.I can't leave the foul-smelling shop any faster than I already am. The whole place has a haze of smoke from the owner's cigar; he must chain smoke daily...sheesh. Tucking the money away in my duffel bag, along with the rest of my savings, I head for the bus station. Even if I
Jarek"What do you mean she's gone?" I ask the nurse at the front desk.I came to the hospital to check in on my little pauper, only to find out she was discharged yesterday. I couldn't come to the hospital over the weekend thanks to fucking Carmen deciding to throw what I call a Weekender and use me to breed her slutty friend. Her parties are usually just guests who come and stay for the weekend, and it's pretty much one big fuck fest. I was literally tied up most of the weekend being used. My cock was so sore I was worried it might fall off."I'm sorry, Mr. Falcon. I thought you had known since you're paying her bill." The young nurse behind the desk bows her head, "Is there anything I can do for you to make up for the miscommunication?"I stare at the woman and notice that she's beautiful. I'm tired of fucking middle-aged women and can use a pretty thing like the woman behind the desk to help make me feel better. Unfortunately, my dick is out of service, but I nod my head anyway, i
LilianaI wake up to a beeping noise all around me and realize I'm in a hospital bed. My body feels like it's been used as a punching bag repeatedly, and something tickles my nose. I reach up and feel an oxygen tube is the culprit for the itching, so I leave it in place as I glance around the room. I don't know what I expected, but an empty room isn't it.I press the red button, and a speaker crackles above my head, "May I help you?""Y-Yes," my voice cracks, and I have to clear my throat before continuing, "May I please speak with a nurse?""Yes, someone will be there momentarily, dear."The room goes quiet once more, aside from the machines' beeping. A moment later, a kind-looking nurse comes in carrying a tray. "It's so nice to see you awake, Liliana. Are you in any pain?" she asks as she sets the tray down on my side table."Yeah, a little." I try sitting up, but the pain is too much, and I lay back. "Can you tell me how I ended up here?"The nurse pushes a button on the handrail,
JarekThese past few weeks have been both heaven and hell for me. Being so close to my little pauper puts me on cloud nine, and yet, the ache of not being able to have her the way I want is pure torture.Knowing today was Liliana's birthday had me in a good mood. Well, as much of a good mood as my warped mind could muster, but it all took a turn when I approached her by her locker.Liliana running away from me was the last thing I expected, and it pissed me off, so I went after her.However, I've taken it too far this morning. I never intended to see any actual harm come to my pauper. I only wanted to be here when she opened the birthday gift that I got her. Her reaction to the expensive ID bracelet was not what I had expected, and her running away and getting hit by a car wasn't on my list of her reactions either. So, now I sit and wait for her to wake up, but I keep my presence unknown because I don't want to upset her while she's healing. I need her to get better so she can return
LilianaThe days are longer now that I have my very own warden. The only time I have to myself are my walks home from school. However, the voice that sounds behind me says it all; I'm not going to have a peaceful walk home today."Hello, pauper.""Jarek.""Are you waiting for anybody in particular?"I sit outside the school after the last bell every day, waiting for all the students to be gone. For the last few weeks, others have been picking on me after seeing Jarek bully me, and they tend to harass me on my walk home.The last person I want to be talking to is the bully who started it all. It's bad enough that I have to ride to school with him, but I treasure my peaceful walks home, and now, he's here. I glance up at him from where I sit in the grass. He's blocking the sun from my eyes, and for just a moment, one could mistake him for an angel."I'm not waiting for anyone," I respond back."You could have fooled me. Nobody just sits by themselves on the grass at school." He studies
Liliana"Walk much, Sumner?"Jarek Falcon, the most popular guy in school and my bully, stares down at me, smirking.I'm walking through the hall on my way to fifth-period study hall when he trips me in front of a group of kids. He laughs as I lay face down on the linoleum floor, my books and supplies scattered all around. But Jarek doesn't care; it only makes him laugh harder."I-I'm sorry….""I-I'm sorry," he mimics me in a funny voice intended to make fun of me even more, "You are so pathetic, pauper. Maybe you should do online schooling so you don't have to take up so much space here for the rest of us."Being a foster child and about to age out of the system, the only thing I wanted was to get through my last two years of high school. I was doing reasonably well until Jarek appeared and decided to become my shadow. Only he doesn't disappear on rainy days; he IS my rainy day."Please, stop, Jarek…." I sit here with my eyes closed. Whenever I try picking up my books, another person...
