The queen of icy heart Sweet temptation
Chapter 12 (Anabelle's POV)Two weeks have passed since our deep talk with Seth. I know what you must be thinking, why did I not tell him the whole truth, everything, including the fact that Devin did far worse things than just threaten me?But I just could not bring myself to tell him. He was not looking at me with judgment anymore and I wanted to keep things this way. Again, why? Because either he was off limits or not, I liked him. And not just as a friend. It was this way before he moved in with me, but now that we are living together it is all getting even harder.Let me tell you just one situation I found myself in this week ok? You can fill in the blanks after that.So it was a normal Wednesday by any means, for me that meant grocery shopping. Seth wanted to come with me but I told him to stay home and watch television. Ever since I told him parts of my story he became overprotective and wanted to follow me everywhere and I just needed some time for myself. Reluctantly he agree

Chapter 13 (Seth's POV)Ah, beautiful days. Teasing my gorgeous roommate was fun for sure, but what I did not take into account was that by doing so I was teasing myself as well. You have no idea how hard it was to restrain myself every single day. All I wanted was to attack her, kiss her senselessly, and lock her inside one of our rooms so I could keep her there for days and shower her with love and passion.But I kept reminding myself she was off limits. Unfortunately, I was slowly starting to get immune to that speech, meaning I gave less and less fuck about the fact that she was off limits.And honestly, I had no idea how long I would even be able to stay away from her. We spent more and more time together, especially on her nights off. We just lay in the living room in our casual clothes watching television, but her casual clothes were no less seductive than those she wore to work. She wore a tiny pair of shorts that gave me a little peak at her gorgeous round globes, and a tight

Chapter 14 (Anabelle's POV)You know that feeling when something tells you it's not what it seems but you just do not believe that part of yourself? Well, that is exactly what happened tonight.We were watching a movie and like almost every night, I fell asleep. Each night after our movie night I found myself in my room safely tucked in in the morning. But I was always alone and in a way, I was glad for that because Seth did not get a front row to see my nightmares but on the other side, I was disappointed because he was not sleeping next to me. I am a weirdo I know but I can not help it. Looks like my brain just works on a weird frequency.Now the other thing. Do you know when you are in that state between dreams and reality? You are not awake but neither are you sleeping. Yeah. That happened. Suddenly I felt arms wrapped around me and one part of me was screaming to be the person from behind me as far away as possible while the other was telling me everything was alright and there w

Chapter 15 (Seth's POV)After our midnight talk everything went back to normal for me and Anabelle. Well, with a little difference. Anabelle realized she slept much better if I was in the same room as she was. And no, you are seeing the picture in the wrong concept completely.We moved my bed into her room and rearranged the furniture so we could be both comfortable and have enough space. Now we were sleeping in the same room but without touching, because that was still a trigger for Anabelle to have one of her panic attacks. But the problem was, with this close proximity my attraction to Anabelle was growing bigger and bigger. Also sleeping in the same room but not being able to touch her was a new kind of torture for me. Wanted to touch her, to kiss her, to live her the way she deserved. Her life was full of pain and thorns so far and I wanted to be the one to show her that it is nothing wrong with thorns, because with them comes a rose as well. But still, I tried to remind myself

Chapter 16 (Anabelle's POV)Helping Seth get a job at our club was the best decision I have made in years. And he was a natural at it as well.In our club, we did not have many fights and there were even fewer people trying to steal or something like that, we mostly had security so customers did not get too touchy with the girls. In our latest contracts, it was firmly stated that we are dancers and we do not under any circumstance offer our body or services. So Seth's main job was to make sure we girls were safe.Our routine also did not have to change. It all stayed the same. The only difference was that now he was an employee and not a customer at the bar.But tonight everything between us changed…It was an evening like all the rest. I was dancing, speaking with customers, laughing with them, spending some time with Manfy and Seth on my breaks, and dancing again…the same as every working night.Until something happened. Something awful.The music suddenly stopped. Everyone stopped

Chapter 17 (Seth's POV)What the fuck?! Let me tell you, a shot to the knee hurts like a bitch!What pulled me from the painful agony was Anabelle's scream.She was scared as it was and now that idiot shot me and scared her even more. And he was definitely not a sane person. Something just did not click correctly in his head if you asked me.Suddenly he pulled Anabelle from behind the desk and started dragging her towards the exit of the office but I just could not allow him to do that. I jumped towards him and grabbed his arm only to step on my wounded leg and I could not hold in the wince from the pain. And Devin used my moment of weakness and punched me in the face."If you wanted to stay here with her you should just tell me. I know my dear Belle is a whore and I can not really blame you for getting attached to her. She is one of a kind after all. So I will look past what you attempted and will let you have her for one more night before I take her away and keep her for myself."He

Chapter 18 (Anabelle's POV)That kiss. Oh my God, that kiss. It was the kind of kiss every girl dreams of and not surprisingly I wanted more. A lot more.But first, we had to give a statement and get Seth into the hospital so they could look at his wound. As it turns out they had to do surgery to get the bullet out of his knee and honestly I was scared. I know it is just a routine surgery but still, even those go wrong sometimes.And I did the only thing a girl waiting for a guy to get out of surgery would do. I called my best friend. And of course, her boyfriend came with her so I guess it was a one-plus-one support evening."Anabelle! Damn it girl! Are you ok?" Valentina shouted through the whole hospital the moment she saw me standing in the hallway. And I could not help but smile at my best friend that was unnecessarily worried about me, but that is the way life teaches you to act if you grow up in foster care. You care for those close to you and your brain operates on worst-case
Last Updated : 2023-03-18The queen of icy heart Taking care of the patient
Chapter 19 (Seth's POV)Being in a hospital was actually not as bad as someone would think. The doctors and needles were definitely a downside but at least I had the painkillers that my knee did not hurt and I had my girl watching over me. So I was not going to complain.And yes, she was my girl. That was not negotiable. Whether she liked it or not things were as they were. It looked like she did not mind it though and I was glad for that because it meant I would not have to explain everything to her. In the morning I was finally discharged from the hospital and Anabelle made sure to tell everyone she would be taking care of me and that I was in good hands. That I did not doubt. I was in the best hands.On the way home we kept quiet, I mostly did not speak because my knee was starting to hurt badly especially if we hit a bump on the road. And if I was speaking she would notice I was in pain and I did not want her to know how badly my knee hurt.But once we reached home and I managed

The queen of icy heart EPILOGUE
Chapter 27 (Loraine’s POV) epilogue Some years later… “Andrew! The girls will be here any minute, could you get Samuel ready for me please?” Before you make any assumptions let us make something clear. Samuel is our son, and he is three years old. As weird and unthinkable as it might sound, all girls gave birth to a child in the same year. Sure, there were differences, Valentina and Nathaniel had three kids. The first one was a little girl named Daisy, who was not so little anymore since she was nine years old already. Second was a boy named Gareth, he was six years old and the last was Penelope who was three years old as well as our Samuel. Then there was Anabelle and Seth. They had two kids, twins to be exact. A boy and a girl, Samantha, and Sam, they were three years old as well. If we move forward, we have Anastasia and Benjamin, they had just one kid the same as me and Andrew, and the little three years old princesses’ name was Lory. The next in line would be Malcolm and Mandy
The queen of icy heart it is all settled
Chapter 26 (Andrew’s POV)We were on our way to the airport and of course, with Malcolm in the car we were driving over the speed limit and if a police officer pulled us over there would be hell to pay once he realized who the driver was, but mostly no one dared stop Malcolm, even the new guys knew his car and just waved when he passed. But in my opinion, we were still not driving fast enough. I wanted to be at the airport already, deal with the bastard and wrap my Loraine in my arms where I knew I could keep her safe.But as much as I wanted to yell and rant and be a smart ass, I knew I was thinking irrationally so I rather just sat back and kept my mouth shut. That and the fact that Malcolm threatened to throw me out of the car if I dared be loud.Thankfully we arrived at the airport just when my patience was running low. But as we stopped the car, I could not believe my eyes. There was a plane, ready to take off at any moment, but the stairs were still pulled out and firmly on the
The queen of icy heart finally free
Chapter 25 (Loraine’s POV)Either these people were stupid, or they just assumed I knew London so well that I did not need to have my eyes covered while we were driving to the airport. Or maybe it was just the fact that they were so sure I would not be going anywhere except board the plane to Washington.Too bad for them because I had every intention to run away as fast as my legs could carry me, especially now that I knew two of six guys were on my side. Two of those guys that were not on my side are going into the plane’s cabin to make sure everything is set up and two will be completely oblivious to my attempt thanks to my accomplices. I still had no idea what their moto was, but I was not about to ask them since I was just happy to have someone willing to help me get away without a need to kill someone.You see all my self defense classes and so on that I was taking while on the run were in case, I found some place I want to stay and not run anymore, but before London there was no
The queen of icy heart who took Loraine?
Chapter 24 (Andrew’s POV)“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE IS FUCKING GONE?! YOU STUPID BUNCH OF IMBECILS! HOW COULD YOU LET HER SLIP OUT OF THE CLUB WITHOUT ANY OF YOU NOTICING!?” As you can see, saying I was pissed would be a huge understatement, because I was livid! Somehow, while we were celebrating our win in the office with Malcolm and the girls, and a few minutes later with their boyfriends as well, Loraine managed to slip out of the club and disappeared into thin air.If you would tell me a week ago, she disappeared I would probably believe she ran away like she did every time in the past eight years when something or someone got too close to her and her heart, but today I was sure she did not run away. She promised me that she would not run away, and she would stay with me for as long as I wanted her and on the other hand, the fact that Rodriguez was just leaving my club when Loraine mysteriously disappeared just did not stop nagging me. So, I had my suspicion that he had something to d
The queen of icy heart not alone
Chapter 23 (Loraine’s POV)Today was the first time in my whole life that I remember standing up to myself for as long as I can remember. Not once when I was married was, I willing to do so. I just swallowed everything that was thrown my way. I never yelled at the man or talked back, I never told him my opinion, never objected to his decisions about my life, nothing.And the feeling was kind of refreshing and new. It felt amazing.Now, you see I stopped smoking years ago, it was bad for my health and all that and honestly it was just an expensive habit. But at this moment I felt like I was on top of the world and decided to treat myself to one cigarette you could say for old times’ sake, so I can finally close the door on every bad decision I made in the past.I was at the back entrance when I heard steps approaching but I thought it was sure one of the girls or maybe Andrew, so I stayed put and did not even turn around to see who it was, a big mistake.Next thing I know someone was h
The queen of icy heart take the money and get lost
Chapter 22 (Andrew’s POV)The thought of pinching myself and seeing if I was even awake crossed my mind, but nothing felt as good even in dreams as Loraine felt in my arms. She said it. Those fears I had for the past few weeks since I realized I fell for this woman melted away like ice cream on a hot sunny day.Now the only thing left was for us to deal with Rodriguez once and for all. But that was not mine decision, I stopped kissing her and moved a bit away but still kept our foreheads pressed close together, “Are you ready to deal with the demons of the past?”She gave me a nod which was a bit hesitant, but honestly if I was in her shoes and had to deal with someone like Rodriguez, I would be hesitant as well. I took one of her hands in mine and gave her a squeeze to show her that she was not alone.As we rounded the corner, I could not help it but look around and once again it surprised me how self-assured the man really was. He took only five men with him and all of them were in
The queen of icy heart explanation
Chapter 21 (Loraine’s POV)How could he do that? If I had to guess, from what I saw in the office I would say Andrew knew about my past and he knew it well. So first of all, he was hiding the fact that he knows about everything from me, or maybe I can find an excuse for him and say he just found out, but I doubt that since he has been a bit weird for the past few weeks and especially today. But I am willing to tell myself anything to feel a bit better, and right now I needed to believe Andrew did not betray me like everyone else in my life did.At the moment I was sitting by the river that was right next to the club, and yes, I know I did not go far from everything, but it was far enough that Rodriguez would not think I came here, he probably thought that I ran away already like I always do when he finds me, but this time was different. I had friends, I had a job that I liked, and I hope they cared for me as well. I had a good life, and I was actually looking forward to the future. I
The queen of icy heart I will not lose her
Chapter 20 (Andrew’s POV)The moment Loraine barged into my office I knew something was going to go awfully wrong and as usual I was proven right when the asshole opened his mouth.Thankfully me and Malcolm seem to be on the same page because when Loraine ran out of my office as if she was on fire, we both jumped to our feet, but since I was in my usual seat and Malcolm was right next to Rodriguez, he was the one that landed a solid punch to his face and probably broke his nose in the process judging by the crunching sound that could be heard, “You idiot! You just broke my nose! What in the ever-loving hell is wrong with you? Do you have any idea who you are dealing with? I can have you erased from the surface of the earth in a moment!” technically, if we were not who we are, he would be right, but since we were one of the strongest mafia organizations in the world, well, sadly for him, he was wrong. Sure, we were operating on legal grounds, but that was actually a plus on our side, b
The queen of icy heart when the past catches up with you
Chapter 19 (Loraine’s POV) Something did not feel right. I could not put my finger on it, but my gut was telling me to go back to the club. Why? I had no idea but the opportunity to do so presented itself when Mandy asked me to put the car keys into my purse, because I was the only one that remembered to take a big enough purse to put in my wallet, phone and all the girly necessities but still had some space to put in the keys as well. Now I just had to come up with a plan to get away from them with a believable excuse, ran to the parking lot and drive back to the club so this awful feeling would go away. Even if I drove for nothing, I would still feel better if I followed my instincts and honestly, I doubted my gut was warning me for nothing. I know to some people it might sound stupid to follow your gut or your instincts, but those two things saved me more than once in the past years while I was being on the run. So, there was no way I would ignore it. As we walked around the sho
