Once I was done with work, I stood up from my chair and left the study room. I don't usually work late but one of our warehouses was getting a major supply and I had to monitor the importation of the goods. The family couldn't afford a loss, it'll have a great effect on us.
I walked into the kitchen and brought out the food Caroline had left for me from the microwave. Even though the equipment was off, the food was still warm. I dipped the fork in and started eating.
Caroline has always been helpful with cooking and cleaning around. She had always disagreed with hiring a helper, she felt she could repay me for what I did for Fabi.
She believed pulling Fabi out of the gang he had gotten himself into was the best thing I'd even done for them. Fabi couldn't agree less.
After eating, I dropped the plate in the sink, washed my hands, switched off the light,

AnnikaI joined Caroline in the kitchen several minutes after Andro left the room. I'd stayed behind to watch a rerun of the first episode of a Korean series; City Hunter.After I was done with that episode, I took a bath and went downstairs. Caroline was also just rounding up in the kitchen."Do you need me to do anything else?" I asked as I finished rinsing the last cup of tea. I volunteered to help her clean up the kitchen as soon as I got here. Even though she disagreed at first, I had to be very persuasive to get her to agree."No dear, that is enough. Let's move to the living room" She passed me the napkin to clean the water off my hand. I followed her out of the kitchen once I was done.We walked into the living area and sat on one of the sofas. The television was on and Maleficent was showing. She reduced the volume of the movie and stared at me.&nb

Andro"Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust" The priest chanted as the earth was poured over the dead men’s coffins that had been lowered into the grave.When I first became the Mafia boss, my one wish was to protect my family and never recount the death of any and because of that, I became the softest mafia boss in town, who tried to seek for peace with others but where has that led to?Nowhere in particular!I ran my hand through my hair, closed my eyes for a while, imagining the breeze would blow away this anger and frustration that was building up in me like a storm. I stepped away from everyone to stay under a tree and it was until I got there did I notice Stanley was with me."Were you able to talk to their families?" I asked him."I did. The first driver's father is a Muslim and he was hesitant about burying him the Christian way even though the s

AnnikaThe following morning I was the first to wake up. Even though I was awake I lied down on the bed, studying Andro who was still fast asleep.I gently used my finger to trace the outline of his face from his forehead to his pointed nose and stopped there. I don't know why or how it happened but I can't explain this attraction that I feel towards Andro ever since the first day I saw him.Everytime our eyes meet, I feel butterflies fluttering around in my stomach, my breath suddenly becomes hitched and I can't force myself to look away."What are you doing?"His eyes were opened as my hand was still on his face. I quickly removed my hand and shifted away from him."Nothing,"Andro suddenly placed his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him. As our bodies collided, I swallowed the sound that was making its way out of my throat.&nb

AnnikaI was in my room arranging my stuff and at the same time packing some of my things that I might take back in case Andro comes out of nowhere to take me back to his place. He'd promised he'd do that and I don't want to take his promises that are similar to threat lightly.A knock sounded lightly on the door and when I opened it, it was my stepfather at my door."How can I help you?" I asked him, eyeing him with disgust."I'm just checking up on you," I raised an eyebrow."I'm fine as you can see, I'm not dead. What else do you want?" I asked as it was obvious that he won't be leaving soon."Can you let me come into your room?" He asked."To finish what you started, right?" I asked rhetorically."I just want to explain myself," he said, his hands raised in the air."I don't give two cents about whatever stupid expla

AnnikaThe morning light streamed into the room, making me open my eyes forcefully. I hadn't wanted the night to end. Andro’s presence last night calmed me down and helped me to sleep for a while. I had thought he was going to stay till morning but since he's not here, I guess he has some important things to do.I stood up from the bed and walked into my closet. It was empty and I remembered I'd packed up all of my things yesterday because I'll have to go back with Andro soon. I walked into the bathroom to get cleaned up and also get ready for my lunch with Galina.As I stepped to the front of the mirror, I saw my reflection; my hair was scattered and I could see some bite marks on my body. I blushed as the memories of the previous night came rushing back.Andro gently placed a kiss on my shoulder and that made it known that running isn't part of the options. I turned t

Andro"Boss, your phone is ringing" Stefan called my attention to the phone. I checked and saw it was Annika. I could've picked up the call that instance but I couldn't, I needed to stay here with the boys. I was in the warehouse and we were still discussing the murder of those drivers."I'll call her back, I don't think it's something serious. So, you were saying something about Igor," I asked him."We got a message from him this morning. It was a picture of an olive branch. He's also denying the attack on our drivers" he explained."I wasn't expecting the culprit to man up to it. Have you checked the car's…?" I asked him."We're on it Boss," My phone started ringing the second time and I quickly picked it up without hesitation while dismissing Stefan."Help me, I saw blood Andro," I stood up abruptly from my seat."Where are you?"&nbs

AdonisThe terrible beeping of my phone woke me up. Eyes still closed, I removed my hand from around Annika to search for the phone on the desk next to the bed.Once my hand touched it, I sat up on the bed and placed it in my ear waiting for whoever it was to talk and tell me what the matter was."Good morning Andro,"Shit! I promised to call Adonis later and I totally forgot about it.After Stefan had brought dinner yesterday evening. I tried waking Annika up to have some food but she insisted on sleeping rather than eating."Good morning, brother. I should have called you last night. Sorry I couldn't get the chance to do that"I explained."Hope everything is okay over there, Andro?" He asked."Yes, everything is perfect. How's Bella?" I asked about his Emerthus."That's the major reason why I'm calling

Andro"Hello Andro, it's been a while, Boss" George mocked from the other end of the line."What do you want, George?" I asked him, acting indifferent"Guess who I have here with me," he asked."I'm not in the mood for your games, George. Go straight to the point""Your girl, Annika" he laughed hysterically, waiting for me to react rashly.The thing is, I knew Annika was with him. I'd instructed Annika to go with him while she was in my car earlier today. Even though she was hesitant about it, I assured her that she'll be fine. Adonis and Bella would be in the restaurant with her, disguising as the cook and his assistant."She has nothing to do with this, George. You need to let her go" I warned him."I need you to step down, Adonis. That throne rightfully belongs to me and me alone" He yelled."Fine, how do we go about it?" I

AndroHours earlierAnger surged inside of me as I marched out of Annika's room. That bastard has disguised himself as Nathaniel and still went on to make plans with my woman but I can bet that whatever his plans are will go down the drain."What's up with you? I can feel your anger from across the room" I didn't have to turn before I knew it was Adonis."Nothing you should concern yourself about" I replied."Even if I'm still mad at you for not telling me about Annika, I can't let this one slide. What's up?""I didn't mean to keep her from you," I replied honestly."I know you don't but the fact remains that I just got to know about her yesterday and you got to know about Bella just a few days after I'd met her""That was because you called for something, Adonis. If you hadn’t needed my help, you wouldn't have mentioned her to me"&nbs

Annika"What did you say I'll be doing here again?" Galina asked as she dropped from her car, in front of my parent's home"Moral support," I replied and winked at her.Andro had dropped me off a few minutes ago as well as the lawyer to the police station where he went to file the case. The lawyer told me it might not be easy since there was no medical evidence against my stepfather.After I mentioned that I'd gone to the hospital the first time it happened, he said he'll pull all the strings and get the reports out but for now, the evidence at hand was enough to get him arrested as well as my mother."What will you be doing

AnnikaThe bed was warm and cozy, so I snuggled into it and refused to open my eyes even when I felt Adonis kissing my shoulder. Last night was incredible, I was scared that I would've messed things up but when Andro took charge and made me take charge after, I knew this place was meant to be home."Open your eyes gorgeous," he kissed my shoulder yet again. I groaned before I opened them to see a shiny object dangling in front of me.I opened my eyes widely to realize that it was a necklace. I touched it and collected it from Andro."What's this?" I asked him, waking up properly."My family heirloom. I was my parent's only child before they died centuries ago when the vampires were under the serious invasion of hunters because our supposed to be werewolf king preferred to be an asshole and walk away from the pack leaving us vulnerable to hunters"I hummed."Why are

Andro"Annika,"I called out as she walked past me, tears rolling down her pretty face. What the hell could be wrong?I had come out from the garden to feed Raven when I saw her marching off."Annika," I ran after her hoping she'd stop once she heard her name but that didn't stop her. She was marching off as if she was mad about something.I threw myself in front of her, trying to stop her. She stopped in her tracks, looked up, and when she saw me, she tried moving away. I changed to the direction she was trying to walk and blocked her path."What's wrong Annika?" I asked her, holding her face in my palm."Nothing is wrong. Nothing else could be wrong other than you being a jerk, an asshole and a loser" she spat."What's going on? What did I do?" I asked. I know I've messed up by keeping my distance from her these past few d

Annika It's been a week since I last heard from Andro. The first three days of his absence were hell. I was so worried about him and scared as well. I called his phone several times and he didn't pick up which was unusual. Why act like I was the air you breathe one time and act like a stranger the next? I was gulping down the juice boxes I had stacked under my bed like ten times a day. My emotion was out of place and I could feel a conscripting pain in my heart every time. On the fourth day, I paid a visit to his place, and to my surprise, the gates were locked. I had no other option than to leave after waiting for several hours. There was no one I could talk to or call to ask about his whereabouts. I could feel myself drowning away with no other option in sight. It was at that moment of my life that I realized Andro w

AndroThe door leading into my office was forcibly opened and Igor walked in with two of his men, armed with guns.Raven was already fighting for freedom from her cage, it was already at alert anytime it sensed danger around me and her sudden interest in Annika is alarming."The fuck is going on, Igor," I asked, still calmly sitting."Why are you so relaxed, Andro? After what you did, why the fuck are you so relaxed?" He yelled, banging his hand on my table."You tell me why I shouldn't be calm. Because obviously, I shouldn't be when you're the one who barged into my office for unknown reason" I asked. Raven was flapping its wings against her cage, and also sending a series of images to my head.It was all that of her plucking out Igor's eyes or scratching the hell out of his chest till it gets to his heart.Raven can
