Chapter 15DarioWhen I walk into Franco’s house, I hear one of the triplets crying. Following the sound, I find Franco in the living room, trying to soothe Augusto.“Hey,” I say, and smiling at the baby boy, I take him from Franco. “Aww…did you miss Uncle Dario.” I rest him against my chest and press kisses to his head.Augusto sticks his thumb into his mouth and starts to calm down.“How the fuck do you do that?” Franco asks as he slumps down on one of the couches.I take a seat, and leaning back, I press another kiss to Augusto’s soft hair.“I have the magic touch,” I chuckle.Within seconds, the little one falls asleep in my arms, earning me a thankful look from Franco.“Tell me about the woman you’re dating.” “It’s only been one date,” I say.“You took her to Skylar’s restaurant. It means you’re serious,” Franco states a fact I can’t deny.I take a minute to examine my feelings and gather my thoughts before I admit, “I like her a lot. She’s different from other women.”Franco loc

Chapter 16EdenI haven’t been able to stop thinking about Dario all day. I even agreed to meet him for a quick cup of coffee a couple of blocks away from the ballet company, which means I haven’t had time to eat dinner.I have the burger I got from the diner in the secondhand bag, which I bought at a thrift store earlier. I’ll eat it during my shift at work.I walk to Half & Half, the coffee shop where I’m meeting Dario, and as soon as I enter the establishment, I spot him sitting at a corner table with his back to the wall.He instantly notices me and stands up. When I’m close enough, he pulls me into a tight-as-hell hug, which I love.Holding each other for a moment, I soak in the warmth coming from his body and the feel of his arms around me.Yep, I’ve got it bad for this man.He pulls back and presses a kiss to my mouth before he smiles at me, his eyes roaming over my face.“I missed you.”“You saw me yesterday,” I chuckle as we let go of each other and take our seats.“Yeah, but

Chapter 17DarioEden and I have been dating for two weeks, and I’m starting to lose my patience because I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like.I’ve convinced her to spend the night at my place, and as I park the R8 in my designated spot, I can feel she’s a little nervous.The opening show is on Wednesday, and it will run straight through next weekend, which means I won’t get to see Eden much with our conflicting schedules.I grab her overnight bag from where it’s lying by her feet and say, “Let’s head up.”Climbing out of the car, I wait for Eden, and taking her hand, I lead her to the elevator.“You don’t live far from the ballet company,” she mentions.The elevator doors open, and we step inside. I scan my keycard for the top floor, then glance at her.“Thank you for agreeing to spend the night with me.”She leans into my side and smiles up at me. “You’re welcome.” When the doors open, Bella barks and comes barreling toward us.“Oh my God!” Eden exclaims as she rips her hand

Chapter 18EdenStanding with the mop in my hand, I read the text Dario sent me a minute ago.Can you take time off work to accompany me to the opening night?I don’t have anything fancy enough to wear to a ballet show, and people will recognize me.Which means I have to tell Dario that I’m a janitor. After the amazing Sunday night we spent together, I don’t think he’ll fire me or break things off.And I can scrounge up a few dollars to get a dress at a thrift store. The corner of my mouth lifts as I type out a reply.I’d love to. Can we meet up tomorrow morning? I need to tell you something.I see he reads my message, then it shows he’s typing.Dario: 9 am at Half n Half? Eden: Okay.Suddenly, someone grabs hold of my shoulder and yanks me until I turn around.“Where is it?” one of the ballerinas barks in my face. “Where’s what?”“Don’t play dumb. Where’s my ring?”The hell?“Vivian, what’s going on here,” Mrs. Stafford asks as she comes down the hallway.There’s a sinking sensation

Chapter 19DarioI can’t focus on the rehearsal, and halfway through, I hold a hand in the air and say, “Everyone go home. Come in an hour earlier tomorrow.”Mrs. Stafford gets up from where she’s sitting and heads in my direction.When she stops near me, I mutter, “Go home. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”“I just want to apologize again. I should’ve handled the situation better.It won’t happen again.”I take my phone out to show her she’s dismissed and press dial on Eden’s number.It rings longer than usual before she answers, “Hi.” “Come to the auditorium.”“Okay.”While I wait, I think about how many times I saw Eden cleaning, and not once did I recognize her. Upset with myself, I stare at the empty stage.Now, it makes sense how she managed to evade me after dancing.When she comes into the auditorium via the side door, I stand up and move out of the aisle. Taking the steps down, I meet her in front of the stage.I reach for the cap and take it off her head. Wrapping my fingers aroun

Chapter 20EdenWhen Tyrone opens his front door, I ask, “Want to come dress shopping with me?”He lets out a sigh, then mutters, “Let me grab my coat.”I grin at him, and when he’s done locking the door behind him, I hook my arm through his. “I need a fancy dress for a ballet show. I’m going as Dario’s date.”Tyrone’s eyes widen on me as we take the stairs down to the exit. “Does that mean he knows you work for him?”I nod. “Last night, shit went down at the ballet company. One of the ballerinas accused me of stealing her wedding ring.”Instantly angry, Tyrone snaps, “The bitch.”“Yeah. She slapped me just as Dario came into the office.” I shake my head. “He was so angry I thought for sure I was done for.”“Why was he angry at you?!” he exclaims.“No, not at me. He was angry at Mrs. Stafford and Vivian – she’s the one who slapped me.”When we step out onto the sidewalk, we both notice Junior at the same time where he’s standing across the road.“What are you doing here?” Tyrone shout

Chapter 21EdenDuring an intense scene where the ballerinas are twirling and flying through the air, my phone starts to ring.“Shit,” I whisper. Grabbing my handbag, I dig the device out so I can silence it, but when I see Tyrone’s name on the screen, I answer and say, “Give me a minute.”I give Dario an apologetic look before I get up and quickly leave the auditorium.The music is still loud as I walk down a hallway, and holding the phone to my ear, I say, “What’s up?”“Yo- need t-.”“Hold on, the reception is bad,” I mutter, hoping he can hear me.The call is disconnected, and once I reach the lobby and make sure all the reporters are gone, I dial Tyrone’s number while stepping out on the sidewalk.“Hey, can you hear me?” his voice comes clearer over the line. “Yeah. Why are you calling?”Jesus, it’s cold. I should’ve brought my coat.“Shit went down. Men came looking for you and Mandy, and when Junior confronted them, the fuckers shot him.”“What?” I gasp as shock vibrates through

Chapter 22EdenI feel completely disorientated and helpless as I’m lugged over a shoulder and carried somewhere.Sounds come and go, not really registering.I lose touch with reality, and when I come to enough to make sense of my surroundings, I hear a motor droning and water splashing.My body’s shivering uncontrollably from the ice-cold air blowing over me, and I manage to let out a groan.“How was the high, baby?” A man asks.High?Baby?Where am I?I have to fight to pry my eyes open, but my vision keeps going in and out of focus.Someone slaps my cheek lightly, then a man laughs, “She’s still out ofit.”I realize I’m in a boat as it starts to slow down, and a minute or so later,I’m hauled over a shoulder again.I manage to make out a bigger boat, and some control over my body begins to return. Bile churns in the pit of my stomach, and for a moment, it feels like I’m going to puke.I’m tossed down on a hard surface, and the back of my head takes a knock, drawing another groan f

Chapter 23EdenOpening my eyes, I find myself upside down as I’m lugged over a shoulder again.The world sways, and I manage to see a short hallway with steps leading up to what I assume is a deck.I’m still on a boat?I hear a door open, and a second later, I’m tossed on the floor like a sack of potatoes. A groan escapes me, and when my eyes focus on the man who threw me down, I don’t recognize him. He’s dressed in a suit instead of regular clothes like the others were.“Remove the dress and shoes,” he mutters before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him.Huh?I’m grabbed by my arms and hauled to my feet, and when I hear the zipper of my dress go down, the lingering effects of the drugs they gave me vanish at the speed of light.“The hell,” I snap, but it sounds more surprised than angry.I begin to twist and turn my body while slapping at the hands reaching for me. There’s a hard blow to the side of my head that makes me fall on my hip.I push through the pain, a

Chapter 24DarioCarlo has to circle the boat as the helicopters take turns to land and drop off their passengers.We wait until last before Carlo sets us down on the supersized yacht. Angelo shoves the door open and gets out first, followed by me, then Damiano.A man dressed in a tuxedo frowns at us. “We weren’t expecting a fourth party.”An armed guard gives us a wary look, his fingers twitching around his weapon.“We invited ourselves,” I mutter, impatient to search the yacht so I can find Eden.Another man, who’s escorted by two guards, comes up the stairs, and his eyes lock instantly on Damiano. “What’s the Cosa Nostra doing here? This isn’t your territory.”I glance at Damiano. “You know him?”“Kristian,” my boss murmurs. “Sex trafficker. Let me handle this.” Damiano takes a step forward and lets out a sigh. “I’m here for a specific girl.”“We don’t have anyone who belongs to the Cosa Nostra,” the man replies calmly, as if he isn’t worried we’ll kill him.“Show us the girls, and
