The half brother?

2024-10-29 19:42:56Covering my disappointment, I cleared my throat. "But he didn't mention this trip to me at all."
"He wasn't going to join the conference until tonight. But then all of a sudden, he ordered me to get his private jet ready," he replied.
"Oh!" Glancing away, I gulped down the tears that threatened to brim my vision.
He left because of me, didn't he? He didn't want to see me.
I admit, it was my fault. I should've told him earlier. But at least he should've tried to understand my situation. He hated me because I lied to him, mostly because I was a daughter of a mafia leader.
But was that my fault?
Then suddenly something ticked in my mind. Concern took the place of the disappointment in me.
My head snapped to John. "Why did you let him go alone? You should've gone with him. You know he is in danger."
A gentle smile tugged

I was numb.Numbness was all I could feel as I stared at the screen. I couldn't think anything, feel anything but watching the man I loved so much with another woman. In his arms. With her lips against his.I didn't scream, I didn't cry, I didn't feel any anger. All I felt was a hole forming in my chest, a hollowness.After staring at the photo for I didn't know how long, I silently shut the laptop and crawled up in my bed before closing my eyes."I hate you…" I heard myself murmuring before darkness consumed me.***Taking a deep breath, I pressed send.The email was delivered.My last email to him, my last words for him.

Shifting on my seat for the fourth time, I forced another bite of the meatloaf Tobias so insisted for me to try in this dine, his favorite usual place. The food was good, but I would've devoured them if the situation was different. But not now, not with him. Definitely not when his eyes wouldn't move from me for a moment and his mouth ran more for talking than eating. And trust me, I wasn't interested in his personal and business life at all, because that's what all he talked about. About his life and likes. When I informed him about my decision, he didn't waste a second before messaging me the time and place he wanted us to have the dinner. A dinner just as friends. That's what I told him right after he messaged me the details. Even if I was boiling with anger to show a particular person that I wasn't going to weep around if he left me, I wasn't foolish enough to lead Tobias on. I made my intentions clear to him.

Adrian's POV "What the hell! Put me down, Adrian!" she screamed, struggling over my shoulder. I could swear my ears were bleeding at her ferocious screech. "What are you doing?" "Taking you where you belong," I said, smacking the supple cheek of her butt. A gasp left her at my action. Her struggle ceased. And when I almost thought she would behave now, she started to fight again. I tightened my grip on her. "I'm not going anywhere with you, you prick! Let me go!" I pursed my lips, continuing approaching my car with long strides. Stubborn woman! Scream as much as you want, love. I'm not letting you go tonight. Tonight, you will be mine. Completely, forever. When I didn't put her on her feet, she tried punching my back with her tiny fists. Instead of feeling any hurt, I found

"What the hell are you…" Turning me around, he pinned me against the cold wall, held my hands captive in his above my head and smashed his mouth on mine. His hard frame pressed against mine with his rock hard desire burning the skin of my abdomen. A gasp slipped through my lips, letting him use the chance to thrust his tongue in my mouth. Shivers of ecstasy ran through my veins like a hot lava the moment his tongue touched mine, fighting it, dominating me. Taking one of my legs, he wrapped it around his hip and pulled me flush against him, devouring my mouth like his life depended on it. It emanated a moan out of me. Clutching his broad shoulders, I kissed him back with everything I had, pushing my hips against his. I didn't even realize when my hips started to grind against his until he let out a growl. Cupping the back of my thigh, he pressed me closer to him if that was even possible

Nine years. It has been nine years and those memories still give me tremors. As if I could still feel the torture, the pain on my skin. My own screams still echoed in my head.Closing my eyes, I tightened my arms around him.As if sensing the tension in my body, he drew slow soothing circles on my back with his hand. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me, love. There's no hurry. You can take your time."I let out a sigh and shook my head. "No. You've shared your secrets with me. Now it's my turn.""You don't have to.""But I want to. You have every right to know.""Are you sure, love? You can tell me later if you want," he asked, his tone was careful.I was touched by his gesture. I knew he was eager to know the secret behind my scar, but still, he was giving me a chance to back out. But I couldn't back out now. I had to tell him.

Sliding the glass door of the balcony open, I stepped out in the chilly evening air. Goosebumps crept up my arms as a gentle breeze kissed my skin.He stood there. While his fists were curled around the railings, his void eyes were set on the horizon painted in crimson with the setting sun. But I knew, the beauty of the evening was the last thing on his mind at that moment.Wrapping my arms around his torso from behind, I kissed his shoulder blade. A heavy breath left him, before his stance relaxed in my hold."She is gone?"I nodded against his back. "You okay?"He took my hand in his and kissed my palm. "Now that you're here, I will be."Moving in front of him, I snuggled his chest. His arms were quick to take me in their warmth."You shouldn't be out here. It's cold," he said, nuzzling my hair.

Russel Checknov was dead. One person fell off the list of our enemies. I should be happy about it. But I wasn't.

As soon as Martha walked out after showing me our room, I was pulled flush against a hard chest. With one of his fists clutching my hair, my face was inches away from his furious one. Even when he was livid, the arm that wrapped around my waist, gripping me tight, was protective. His hold on my hair was gentle."What the hell do you think you're doing?" he hissed. Electric blue eyes were dark and flaming."What am I doing?" I blinked, licking my lower lip. "I just needed rest."His gaze followed the action. With a groan reverberating throughout his chest, he cupped my chin. Giving my lower lip a firm brush, he thrust his thumb in my mouth.My heart raced down my ribcage as I sucked on his finger, with my hooded eyes set on his. The desire came back to life in my veins.Letting out a grunt, he pressed his mouth against mine. A breathless moan escaped me as I pressed my

"Sofia!" Strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me back from Anastasia. "What's wrong, baby?" Turning to her, he growled out. "What did you do to her?"Flinching back, she clutched Dominic's hand. A fear along with concern laced across her face."I… I didn't do anything.""Adrian." Putting her behind him, Dominic warned him.Just as Adrian was about to snap back, I held on his shoulder."She didn't do anything. It's the baby. It kicked." Rubbing my tummy, I took a deep breath.It often kicked, but today it seemed like my junior Adrian was overly energized today.A sigh of relief left him. Kissing my temple, he cupped my cheek. "You alright? It doesn't hurt, right?"Nodding, I turned to Anastasia. "It seems like this little one already likes you. Otherwise it doesn't kick that hard. And I'm sorry abo

Glancing over my shoulder, he looked at the priest. "You can start now. And yes," his features hardened, "Make it quick!""Y-yes, of course, Mr. Larsen!" Came a timid reply behind me."Eager for the honeymoon?" Dimitri teased. Liam burst into laughter at that. While John had a small smile dancing on his lips, Dominic looked unbothered.All of them donned tuxedos, much similar to Adrian.As my soon to be husband sent a murderous glare at Liam, the ambience around us cackled with mirth.The priest came over and we exchanged the rings.

My lips parted at the sight of him.The charcoal black tux he donned with a white shirt underneath hugged his broad and powerful upper body perfectly. Black pants, shiny black shoes and a blush pink pocket square, matching my gown, completed his look. With his dark strands combed back neatly, his jaw was clean shaved. My hands itched to touch them.Gosh!A breathless sigh left my lips. My eyes couldn't move away from the Greek god before me.He looked… sinfully gorgeous.My poor heart had difficulties to beat normally in his presence.And with that particular intoxicating cologne of his wafting to my nostrils, it just made the butterflies in my tummy crazy.I was so busy drooling at my man that I almost didn't notice how his eyes trailed down my body.

The dry leaves and wee trunks crumbled under my feet as my hesitant legs trudged through the eerie tacit cemetery. Only the chirping of the birds, hidden behind the heavy branches of the mighty trees that surrounded the cemetery, could be heard around the silent graveyard.Placing down the fresh Lilies before the newly wrought tombstone, my eyes roamed over the epitaph engraved on the stone.'Tim Jonathan Reeves1968-2020A doting father and a courageous man we will always remember with pride in our hearts.'"You shouldn't be here, you know? It's your wedding today," a whisper came from beside me.Blinking away the moisture in my eyes, I turned to her.

"Miss, you should get some rest now. You're sitting here for hours. And your injuries should also be taken care of. Otherwise you can get an infection," said the young nurse as she gave Adrian another visit to check on him.It was the fourth time she asked me to get myself treated. But nobody, even my family, couldn't move me from here. From beside the man who reigned over my heart.The man who hasn't opened those electric blue eyes yet. And since I got my consciousness back, without wasting any second, I rushed to his side. They moved him to another room after his operation.My heart clenched as my gaze roamed over his paler than usual features, ruffled hair and limp body. Just his broad chest rose and fell along with his breathing. That was the only thing that told me he was still with me.With my throat tightening, my eyes burned with tears, I gulped. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm

A scream tore out of my mouth while the love of my life was on the ground, clutching his chest. Even when his features were tensed, his determined hard eyes never left mine. Pushing at Monet's shoulder with as much force as I could gather, I somehow managed to break free from his grip and got off the chopper. But his fingers were soon to wrap around my wrist. A fury flashed through Adrian's blue eyes. Getting a hold on his gun, he tried to get up on his feet again. The veins of his neck stood out as he did so. Glancing back to Adrian, Monet raised his gun for the second time. Ready to shoot again. My heart lurched in my chest, eyes widened in horror. "No! Don't!" But my desperate shout went ignored as his finger curled around the trigger. "No!" As he was about to pull the trigger, a hand wr

He wouldn't go down without a fight.Hurrying towards me, she started to untie my hands and legs. A wince left my lips as I moved my hands after hours. Not to forget the cuts were still fresh.
