SAMMY

It is easier to reject a man who cheats on you rather than swallowing the bitter pill labeled as he is not yours, so move the fuck on. I would preferably take the cheating, lying asshole, punch him in the face, and move on.

It took all my adolescent years to accept the fact the Marco wasn't into me. I was merely the sister of his so-called brothers—the girl with whom he'd laugh, snicker, fight, and protect.

I had seen Marco transform over the years, from a boy to a man, and each moment, made it harder to let go of this infatuation—this living, breathing passion.

There was a constant push and pull of emotions. One of the fundamental reasons I couldn't let go of the feelings for Marco entirely out of my mind because he was unattached.

Sure, he hooked up now and then, with girls kneeling, bowing and doing all sorts of things to him—for him. But everything was based on one-night-of-fun. So I fooled myself into believing that one day—maybe one day he'd notice me.

And then I saw him w

    AURORA I planted the bottle of alcohol on his bedside table and rose off the floor. Between the alcohol swimming in my system after the rush of adrenaline and the shooting, and the asshole currently lying on his bed, far too many memories were drudged up for one night that I wanted to avoid because memories were dangerous things, and I did not trust myself around Marco. When Viktor pushed me to work with him, I’d lied to myself that it was nothing but a job, and when Marco and I stood side by side, armed and alert, just like old times, I, once again, lied to myself that he does not matter anymore. The truth was, he mattered. He mattered in a way my volcanic rage once again found a home for betraying me like I wanted to pound and kick and slap him for breaking my heart, at the same time, I wanted to feign that the heartbreak was of no consequence at all. It was like I was at odds with myself. And I hated it, every moment of it because I was always at odds with others. I was about

    AURORAThe car screeched into the driveway of Marco’s mansion and immediately a mixed sense of dread and familiarity hit me.It was the same feeling I felt the first day Viktor brought me here and the only difference was that, I did not know what I was getting into.The mansion looked the same as it was three years ago when I had left Chicago for good. There was always a symmetrical architecture of sophistication and charm. The tall, arched window framed with intricate work and Parisian aesthetic, fuck, it felt like time stood still.I climbed out of the driver’s seat and rounded over to Marco’s side to help him get out. By now, his clothes were soaked in blood and I could see how he was barely managing to hold himself upright.His hand was pressed against his side where the bullet had grazed him earlier. I had to give him credit; he was trying to act like it didn’t hurt. But I could see the way his jaw tightened, the subtle flinch every time he moved.I so fucking wanted to smirk and

    MARCO I moved on pure instinct, throwing myself at her. The gun went off, the sound deafening in the night as the bullet whizzed past my head, close enough that I felt the heat of it. I slammed into Aurora, knocking her out of the line of fire and rolling us both into the bushes. She struggled beneath me, cursing up a storm. “Marco, get off me!”“Not until we’re clear,” I growled, already pulling my gun. I fired twice, the silenced shots taking down the guard before he could fire again. I stayed on top of her, my body shielding hers until I was sure the threat was neutralized.When I finally rolled off her, she shoved me hard, her eyes blazing with fury. “I had it under control, Marco!”“Like hell you did!” I snapped back, my patience wearing thin now. “That guy was going to shoot you between the fucking eyes.”“Yeah, right!” She rolled her eyes, clocking her gun as we approched inside. The target was supposed to be simple. I mean, it was never really SIMPLE—nothing in this mafia

    Chapter 47MARCOIt took every fiber of my being to restrain myself from kicking everyone out of the room so that I could be alone with her.I knew she hated me, loathed me even, but even she could not deny the pull between us. There will always be something intoxicating, compelling, and everlasting between us—no matter how many oceans we put between us. And Aurora walking inside my domain was only the tip of this behemoth iceberg between us. Of course, she’d deny it. Of course, she’d disagree, but the way she’d fisted the hem of her dress, her legs crossed, her breathing hitched, and her teeth gnawed against her lower lip—every fucking detail pointed to one simple thing that I wanted to know. She was still as much mine as I was hers. And if she thought I fucking did not notice that she was yet to know me in ways her mind could not fathom. And even now, when I was sitting so close to her, I could feel electricity humming between us. But Aurora, being herself, fought it tooth and

    AURORAIt was not my first rodeo in a BDSM club. Hell, I had lived this life a few years ago, and yet it felt like ages. As I sat there, motionless and holding my breath, I watched Marco raise his arm at a certain degree and land a measured yet bone-chilling smack across the poor submissive’s bare ass, catching the sensitive skin where the thighs sloped down. He immediately arched, careful not to break his posture because whoever was watching the scene and knew Marco, knew the consequence of breaking his rhythm. Oh, yes. He was as vicious as articulate, and any deviation resulted in severe penalties. “God, please!” I heard the submissive moan into the cushion, the littlest complaint he could make without offending his master and the master whipping his ass. The second and third blows crisscrossed over the ass cheeks, while the fourth and fifth took his breath away. I followed how he cringed every time the soft swish of the belt rang in the air before it landed on his back. “Hmm,

    AURORAI stormed into Viktor's office, the door slamming against the wall with a deafening bang. My anger surged as I spotted him behind his desk, casually sipping on a glass of whiskey as if he hadn’t just dropped a bombshell on me. He looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my furious expression. “Aurora,” he greeted, his voice calm and collected. Too calm for my liking. “I’ve been expecting you.”I crossed my arms, glaring at him. “What the hell, Viktor? You decided behind my back that I’m going on this job with Marco? You know damn well I can handle this on my own.”Viktor sighed, setting his glass down with a soft clink. “Aurora, this isn’t about your capability. You’re one of the best enforcers I have, but this job is too important to risk anything less than perfection.” Fuck his perfection. I scoffed and my blood was boiling. “And you think Marco is the answer to that? That asshole, who you know I haven’t worked with in years?”“Yes, I do,” he replied firmly, lea
