It was almost seven that night when I walked up the stairs pulling the bands out of my hair and tried to brush it down and tame it.I could watch a movie and paint my nails and have some girl time if there's nothing good to do!I reached Xavier's room and I stopped short. I was hearing music it sound really soft and smooth. I turned the doorknob silently and pushed the door a little. Xavier was wearing his black Beats headphones and his phone was in his pocket. He was silently playing a violin and moving to whatever he was listening to. I walked in quietly and shut the door. I leaned against it and watched him and he opened his eyes and looked up and jumped. He quickly hid the violin and bow behind his back."Hi Royalty." he said innocently pulling off his headp
I sat next to her as she lay down on my bed. Her thigh was wrapped in a white bandage and she was asleep.It's the second time since she met me that she got shot in her left thigh.Last night was a horror movie coming true by the lake in the park. I wasn't ready for her to die and she was close to it last night and it scared me. Cristiano came into my room and I didn't bother looking up."Your car's in the garage." he softly said "It's fine from last night and the blood is cleaned up."I stayed quiet as I looked at Royalty."Xav-""It's my fault." I cut him off "She's always getting hurt because of me. Why did I drag her into this shit? She almost got killed for the hundredth time for my DAMM SAKE!"I got up and flew past him and out the room. I was mad at myself for not protecting her and for her always getting hurt for my sake. I saw Jennifer and she stopped me."Are you alright Xavier?' she asked sweetly "You seem upset. Is Royalty alright?"The whole mansion knew she was shot and
He got up and went into the bathroom and I followed him and stood in the door."Neveah?" I asked as he took off his shirt and cleaned the stain "I thought she never used hot pink on normal days?""Umm....did I say Neveah?" he chuckled "I meant Leah.""Leah?""Old high school friend." he explained throwing the tissue "We're going Blu-U together in fall. She's my ex girlfriend and was my junior prom date.""So how'd she end up kissing you there?" I folded my arms"I met her at the mall and we talked for a bit. Don't get mad when I say we sort of lost it for a second but I stopped her." he shrugged "No big deal, right?""Ok." I raised an eyebrow "Just don't let it happen again.""Deal."I turned and went to pick up his coat from the chair. As I picked it up I felt his phone vibrate and I turned to him."Your phone." I said"You can answer you know." he stated with a smile "I've got nothing to hide."I smiled and reached into his phone pocket and pulled out his phone. I knew his pin so I
I poured some of the blue powder into his water and gave it a good shake. He was practicing boxing with a sandbag and I was in the shadows doing my dirty work. I replaced his bottle in the same spot and snuck away before returning a few minutes later but with a lot of noise."Hey babe." I waved and he looked up"Hi Jenn." he smiled at me."Here drink some." I took up his water bottle "I don't want you dehydrated."He chuckled and took the water from me and took a sip. I smiled to myself.He's all mine now."Want to go out for dinner later?" he asked me"Sure." I answered "Where are we going?""That's a secret Jenn." he teased me and stuck his tongue out at me.I went up to him and kissed his cheek."You need a shower." I joked "You stink."He rolled his eyes playfully."Tell me something I don't know." he said"You're sweaty and you're bathing with me." I answered and he laughed"I'll be there in a while." he took another sip of water"Alright." I smiled and went off.Xavier's POVI d
I opened my eyes slowly and yawned a little. I looked around a little confused. I wasn't back at the mansion. The walls of the room were neatly painted white and had white tiles. The room had a table stacked with books and a full bookshelf. There were three doors besides the main door. One lead to the bathroom, the other for the closet and the third was for the balcony.Where am I?I felt a hand touch my forehead slightly and I jumped a little and turned my head. Damanico was sitting next to me on the edge of the bed as he gently ran his hand over my forehead."Has the headache pass?' he asked softly"Yes." I nodded and looked around the room "Where am I?""At my house in Alfarami Harbor and you're currently in my room on my bed." he answered"You slept with me?" I asked turning on my side to face him"Would you freak out if I told you I did?" he ran his finger through his hair and looked at the floorI smiled at his shyness."Have you forgotten that we've slept together?' I asked wit
I was wrapped in his muscular arms as we kissed. The room was dark and the spotlight was on us. His tongue gently stroked my lips and I smiled against his before letting him in. The darkness soon faded and we were now in a bedroom. He pulled away slowly and I then realized that he was fading. I desperately tried to grab him but his disappeared. I then realized someone coming out from the shadows and I gasped as she smirked wickedly at me and he appeared behind her with his arms around her waist kissing her deeply. Tears began to flow down my face until images of them circled me and I screamed out his name 'Xavier!'My eyes snapped open immediately and I felt my chest. My heart was racing and I felt a little uneasy. I heard the door open softly and my back was towards it. I shut my eyes immediately and heard soft footsteps coming closer. I opened my eyes a tiny creak and saw a shirtless muscular body in front the closet searching for something. As he moved his muscles flexed and arched
"D-D-Damanico." I stammered "You're alive?"We stared at each other intensely. The atmosphere was mixed with shock and confusion."What the hell are you doing here?" he asked me fiercely looking around"What?" I asked confused "Just taking a stroll. Why?""Don't you know the Swedish are hunting around now for any part of your twin's mafia and you could be killed?" he hissed fiercely at meI looked at him blankly and he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the thick trees. I wanted question him but I was way too confused to talk. He pulled my until I spotted a black Porsche 918 Spyder parked and waiting."Get in." he said to me and I did as I was told.Soon we were on the main road heading for the cliffs at the edge of a forest. I was quiet as he parked and turned off the engine and turned to me furiously."What made you leave without security?' he almost yelled "You know the rules Neveah!""What give you the right to yell at me you kidnapper!" I yelled back "Where's Royalty and how did
Cardinal's POV"Have you found the girl yet?" I asked Jonas impatiently while I paced the meeting room.We were all gathered for a meeting as we heard that Royalty disappeared without a trace."No sir." Jonas reported "We've searched everywhere.""I don't get it." I thought hard still pacing "She just vanished into thin air. Jennifer says it is a mystery still for Xavier.""Well what do we do?" Alfred asked me smoking a cigar "We've got to find the girl.""Janos search again and search good." I told him "We've got to find that girl. If she becomes too close to Xavier she'll be legally his and if she disappears and something happens we lose her."Neveah's POVDamanico was really sweet. He took me out for dinner in a fancy restaurant one night. He was a real gentleman and in casuals he looked really sexy. I swear I must have drooled the minute her picked me up in the limo. I went to Liza's house so my brothers won't know. Liza or Elizabeth was my other best friend."You look absolutely
I pulled out the bullet and a shock of pain ran through my body. I was running for the last hour and was extremely exhausted. I was sitting in the park dealing to my injured arm. The battery in Jennifer's phone was almost finished and I had hacked through her phone and found quite a lot of information. I found out that the missing money in the mafia was her doing before and after she came to the mafia.So the missing briefcases was her uncover works.The rain poured down heavier and I pulled off my shirt and wrapped it around my arm to stop the flowing blood. I looked at the bloody bullet in my hand trying to put my thoughts and emotions into order.You just had to shit it up again Xavier! You let her go after being so stupid.I rested my head on my elbows which were propped on my thighs.I need to have her back in my arms. I miss you too much Royalty. Baby, my princess, where are you?"What on earth are you doing here sitting in the rain?" a gentle voice asked and turned around to se
"Cardinal." I gasped as the man walked in pointing a gun at me"We meet again Xavier Arivonese." he smiled "Long time no see.""What do you want?" I asked rolling my eyes"My traitor here," he looked at Jennifer's body in disgust then at me "already told you what I want. The bonds and the jewel music box.""I'll give you neither." I said "Guns don't scare me as I grew up with them and you don't scare me either. Where is Reign and Damanico?""How am I supposed to know where that idiot is?" Cardinal scoffed "He betrayed me and left. Liam left too."Liam?"Tell me where the bonds and music box are Xavier and I'll let you live." I heard the gun clickMy gaze shifted to the phone on the table and I eased over to it slowly. Cardinal hadn't realized my intentions at yet."Why would I give you the bonds?" I asked buying some time"I don't want your stupid fake mafia here in Italy." he said in disgust "It's the least of my concerns especially since I know that your real mafia in is New York Ci
I woke up to extreme pounding in my head and it was painful. Jennifer finally showed her true colors and had knocked me out with a book while I was kissing her. I tried to open my eyes and realized I was blindfolded and I tried to move my arms and legs and I realized I was sitting and tied up.Pretty dam good too!"Aww my poor baby." I heard a voice say and anger rushed through me"Jennifer." I snarled through gritted teeth"Are you mad at me baby?" I heard her footsteps coming closer"Why wouldn't I be?" I shot a question back at her"You'll thank me later." she began to massage my tensed shoulders"For what? Kidnapping me after slamming a World history book in my head?""I did what was necessary to make you mine.""Oh fuck off!" I snarled and shook her off me fiercely "I rather die than be with you Jennifer. I don't know why I put up with your stupid games anymore when I knew your trick all along. I should have finished your sorry pussy long ago."She didn't respond and I soon heard
I watched him as he sat down next to me at the table for dinner one night."What are you thinking Royalty?" he asked meI looked up at him as his green eyes stared at me with concern."Nothing." I lied and turned back to the pasta I was eating"Don't lie to me Ro." he turned my head back to face him with his index finger"I was just thinking about him." I replied looking anywhere but into his eyes "I miss him Damanico. I want to go back and try to make up with him again. I want to be back in his arms with him whispering how much he loves me in my ear. I want him Damanico."Damanico looked at me softly and I turned away from him again."Royalty-" he started but I cut him off"Jennifer ruined everything." I said before getting up and leaving my dinner half finished "I still love him."I went up to my room and threw myself on the bed.Xavier!!Damanico's POV"What's wrong?" Neveah asked me sensing that I wasn't in the mood as we made out later that nightI sighed and sat up on the edge o
I fell onto his bed as we made out again for the fifth time that night. I was at Damanico's house late that night after Royalty went to sleep and we had dinner together. With him out all day with Royalty there's no time for dating so we do it in the night. We texted, called and saw each other secretly."Damanico...." I moaned his name as he sucked on my neck "You'll give me a hickey.""Good." he looked at me with an amused look "That's my mark on you. You're mine baby."I giggled as he tickled me a little."No matter what...you're mine and mine only." he kissed me and I felt a little guilt creeping inI had a make-out session with Alessandro when he found out information on Jennifer and now I was feeling a little guilty."Babe I've got something to tell you." I pulled away from his lips a little"What's wrong?" he looked at me confused"I've got something to confess." I looked away a little "Don't get mad, please baby.""I won't." he kissed my cheek "Tell me."Here goes nothing."Ales
I closed my room door softly.What an hour?Chrissy had lectured me for about an hour in rapid Italian and he swore a lot. I knew he was really mad when he swore. I started to pull up my shirt when there was a soft knock on the door."Come in." I calledAlessandro opened the door and walked in with a laptop under his arm. He closed the door quietly and I pulled my shirt over my head. He looked away a little."That's distracting Veah." he teased"Oh shut up." I rolled my eyes and turned to him "Like you haven't seen me naked before. We took baths together as kids. That's how close we were. What age did we stop?""Fourteen." he answered"When your hormones kicked in." I smirked"True." he stuck his tongue out at me then studied my breasts for a while "You got bigger."I playfully swatted his arm knowing he was right. He knew me inside out like Xavier as he was my childhood best friend and he still was."What do you want?" I unzipped my skirt and let it fall as a pool around my ankles"I
