All Chapters of SCARRED HEARTS (Book 2 of Precious Series): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

     “Dev, darling, come back to bed.” purred Alina, a Russian boutique owner in New York. She had been Devlin’s on-off lover for quite some time now. She was never married despite living with another business tycoon who actually introduced her to Devlin. He told him he did not mind sharing the Russian beauty. At first Devlin was honored and felt lucky but after some time, her allure to Devlin has dimmed. She is beautiful, he can give her that but after meeting his Emirati partner’s PA in the UAE, he wanted no one else but her. He could still remember her jasmine cinnamon scent and that memory caused his shaft to stir after pleasuring Alina mere minutes ago. Unlike before though, his shaft had not sustained its rigidity despite Alina’s exaggerated moans and gasps. During their first time together, Alina indulged his fantasies and he reveled in it. This time though, his interest had waned thanks to that siren he thought. He was frustrate

     Devlin could have stayed in a hotel in the city proper if he wanted to but he preferred to stay in the villa. For one, both he and his partners could have a meeting anytime they want, second, he could keep an eye on his elusive prey who proves to be becoming more elusive by the day. Though she is present during their meetings, as soon as they are done, she just disappears. He couldn’t say she is being lazy because he always receives the minutes of the meetings on time. Since he also is looking to expand his business in the Middle East, he is almost always out and meeting with potential partners. However, luck must be on his side because Ami’s birthday came up and they went to Ferrari World to celebrate it. As usual Ami’s partner was Ali while Mabel was with Mansour, again. This time though, he tagged along. The elusive lady had no choice as he was invited by Ami and he grabbed the chance. When they reached the Amusement Park, Ami w

     When they all got back to Abu Dhabi, Mabel couldn’t help but notice the change in Devlin’s attitude towards her. He no longer tries to corner her, instead he avoids her. For some reason, Mabel missed the aggressive Devlin. However, she wasn’t complaining as it made her life easier, though less exciting. One morning however as per her normal routine, at 7:45 am she went inside the Sheikh’s home office only to discover her boss and the partner having coffee again. It seemed a normal occurrence but she didn’t mind as Devlin just gave her a passing glance. Deep inside though, Mabel was longing for the times he stole kisses from her. Did he already got bored or was he able to find a woman who satisfies his needs? That thought caused a tightening in Mabel’s chest. Before, she always catches him stealing glances at her, now it seems the opposite. He was dressed impeccably, although not a normal businessman’s suit. He’s wearing a whte polo

     Befriending Mabel seemed a very good idea at first but as Devlin found out, it was harder than it looked. Although he continued giving her flowers and chocolates, she still seemed wary of him. On the day of their promised date, he gave her the book she wanted longingly. She was hesitant at first but when Devlin reminded her that it might not be available again as it was a bestseller, she accepted it graciously by giving him a peck on the cheek which made Devlin’s day. As it was still summer and too hot outside, he took her to the new Al Reem Mall. As they sat in a glass paned balcony overlooking the sea, he asked her what was bothering him for a long time.      “Mabel, do you mind if I ask you a question?”      “Not at all, what is it?”      “Why ar

     A week after Ami was released from hospital, Devlin was not working in the villa anymore. Since he got his office in downtown Abu Dhabi, he stayed there most of the time. As Ami did not want to be coddled, and after reassuring her cousin that she will be alright, Mabel accepted the post that Devlin offered, Her first week went well as it was only a matter of setting up Devlin’s office which to her opinion is already set up just fine. At first she was apprehensive because she thought Devlin’s partners would be sharing his office space. Her apprehension was gone when she saw the office. There was only Devlin’s desk and hers which was directly opposite his. On her first day she wore a skirt suit which hugged her body and Devlin nearly expired from his seat. Although her desk has a smoked glass paneling, with the light from behind her, Devlin could glimpse her sexy legs as she crossed them although he scolded himself for looking below
