“I still don’t get your mom’s connection with someone like Simon Walsh,” Jasper admitted, chewing on a fry as they all sat in the living room, with some soft music playing in the background.It was the third day of the four of them staying together, and to Carmen’s relief, neither of their friends had doubted a thing. But then again, Ronin and she had barely made any kind of contact ever since the day the two of them arrived. Except for a few hours in the office and sometimes in her room when Molly would be out arguing with Jasper on one thing or another, she hardly even saw him in person.It was ridiculous, though, the way she felt so jittery and edgy all the damn time, afraid someone would know, someone would read through her. Especially Molly. God, being secretive was definitely not her strongest suit. She was dying here.“Hey,” Molly snapped in front of Carmen’s face, trying to get her attention back on the con

Carmen wasn’t sure what to expect when she received the text from Ronin a little after they went to their rooms after dinner, asking her to meet him on the rooftop.To her massive relief, Molly had decided to sleep in one of the other guest rooms in the house, saying that she had a lot of office work to catch up on—something about a new order her company had recently landed. Of course, Carmen had been more than happy to encourage her best friend to focus on her work, but also not without a reminder not to stay awake too late. It couldn’t be good for her health, now could it?Anyway, the absence of Molly anywhere near her didn’t make her any less cautious, there was still Jasper to worry about. The guy was literally like a ghost, popping in and out of absolutely nowhere.Sigh. Anyway, Carmen left her room as quietly as she could, tiptoeing up the stairs that led to the roof. Quite glad to not have bumped into Jasper or any of the maids on

Carmen sat in the dining room the next morning, quietly poking a fork into her breakfast. She was trying hard not to look at anyone at the table, especially the certain someone she have disappointed the previous night.God, she felt so embarrassed right now. Her face was flushed, no matter how much she tried to convince herself it didn’t mean anything.Molly was the first one to notice her playing with the food. “You okay?” she asked, gesturing at the plate Carmen had practically not touched. “Want something else? I can ask Ms. Chen to—”“No, this is fine,” Carmen shook her head with a smile. “I’m not hungry, I guess.”“Not hungry? Well, that’s weird. You barely ate anything last night. And now this. Carmen, are you sure you’re okay? We can call the doctor to see if there’s something else—”“I’m fine, really,” Carmen assured, alth

The only reason Carmen could think of for why she was sitting in a room with Diana across from her was that she wanted all of this to be over. It had been a long time chasing after the ones responsible for what happened to Willow and the attacks on Ronin. It was time the people responsible were caught and shoved behind bars. A few minutes ago, Ronin had confronted her regarding this. “You don’t have to go through this,” he had said, looking serious and absolutely determined to sweep her away if that’s what she wanted. “We don’t even know if she’s telling the truth. For all we know, it’s all a bluff.” But Carmen knew better. She knew about the deal her mother had made with Grandpa. “But she has answers to what we have been seeking all this time. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that she does. She must be telling the truth.” Ronin looked frustrated. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. But that doesn’t mean you have to force yo

Ronin was more than happy to oblige.Once they reached his room, the clothes were off within seconds. The kiss seemed to have taken over their minds, bodies and souls, as they stumbled onto his bed without detaching their lips from each other.Carmen gasped, feeling the warmth of his palms seeping into her cool skin. An urgent shudder very eager to pass through her spine, making her legs wobble as she tried to stand straight and pull him more and more into her.“You taste so good, baby doll,” he whispered into her craving mouth, moving his hands all over her body until they rested on her buttocks. “Can’t get enough of you.”Meanwhile, Carmen seemed incapable of communicating through words, her heart palpitating so hard and loud against her ribs, that she was afraid if she even tried to say anything at all, her chest would snap open.She moaned, however, when he turned her around and wrapped her long, dark hair around h
