A nervous chuckle escaping her lips, Anna's gaze alternated from Genevieve’s face to Rick's.‘’What? Why are you two looking at me like that?" she asked, "Wait... it's because of what i said? Of course, I always say no to the men. But for my own safety, I always tell them I’ll reach out to them if I find someone suitable.’’As soon as they heard that, Genevieve let out a huge sigh of relief while Rick smiled."I was scared for a moment there," she murmured.Anna patted her on the back as if to reassure her, ‘’It’s not a new thing in the industry. They always approach orphanage directors with deals like that, but I’d die before dabbling in something like that.’’ Her expression suddenly went serious, ‘’If Eve is serious about infiltrating the underworld, I think that would be the best and easiest way to get in. Drugs? There’s risk of getting caught and going to jail. Even if you are lucky and you don't get caught, you’ll have to work as a trafficker for a while before gaining enough re

Genevieve shrugged.‘’Technically, I didn’t have a choice because they pushed me out of the car and slammed the door. I even tried telling them to take me back. I lied I have nowhere to go because I used to be homeless before i was sold to their father, but guess what? They gave me this card and zoomed off," she recounted. "I figured using the card to pay for something would make it easy for them to find me when my absence is noticed, so I delayed it to talk to you first.""Good thing they were foolish then," Anna said with a smirk. "If they had abandoned you like that, you'd have ended up at another auction. And this time, you might not have been as lucky. I mean, think about it, you got a man who not only left you alone on the first night and didn’t force himself on you, but he’s also powerful enough to have a black card.""First of all, I wouldn't call the girls stupid. Sheltered, maybe. Secondly, this is his son’s actually,’’ Genevieve corrected, tapping the name at the edge of th

None of the men responded; the only indication that they had heard him was the way their brows lifted in unison.‘’Need my question translated?’’ Adrian stated, a hint of annoyance underlying his words. He swerved his chair sideways, pinning his gaze on the man sitting on his right. Leonardo Russo. His father’s consigliere who never seemed to know the way to his own floor of the building, and would always find his way to Adrian’s office instead."Leo?" Adrian called.The man in question looked up, the confusion swirling in his gaze giving Adrian the answer he needed before he even heard it.‘’I had no idea you were even looking for a girl. How would I have informed your father?’’ he asked.Knowing that was the truth, Adrian ignored him and turned to face the identical twins on his other side. One of them—the taller one— was his personal guard, while the other would always be found where his twin brother was."Both of you have no idea, too?"Alejandro, the taller of the twins and Adri

‘’It’s me, Bratishka! Father is about to kill me!’’ Annika’s yell came from the speakers.‘’What did you do?’’ Adrian asked, his tone bored.‘’I… It’s just… Actually, Bratishka… I…’’He cut her stuttering off, ‘’I’m hanging up.’’‘’No!’’ Annika yelled, stopping him. ‘’The thing is… I let Eve go. Father’s woman, I set her free and now, Father says he will kill me if i don't get her back in ten minutes.’’A tense minute passed before Adrian burst into laughter, not just at his sister’s stupidity for thinking she could help a person her father already considered his property escape, but also because he could imagine Eve thinking she was lucky for escaping his family so soon.Even though he had no idea how she got to that auction, it was obvious that no young girl of her age and looks would join such events willingly.Leaving the phone on the desk, he took long strides to the nearest window to where he was standing, looking out at the cloudy night skies. Thunder rumbled in the distance, c

Adrian stopped dead in his tracks, a glint of amusement dancing in his eyes. Did she just… call his name for the first time? He was sure it was the first time. Even if he didn’t have a perfect memory, the feeling the sound of his name from her mouth ignited within him wasn’t one he’d have forgotten easily.And damn! It sounded like he was hearing his name for the first time. Another unexplainable sequence happening since this girl—or rather, her picture—came into his life. This was getting too extreme though. Maybe it was his problem after all. He should probably go see a therapist.But for some reason, he knew even going to see the best therapist on earth wouldn’t reduce the effect Genevieve had on him. Bacause the problem wasn't him. It had to be her. Her looks, her voice, her hair, her eyes… she was perfect. And since it’d been a while since he got laid, her perfection was probably calling out to him and causing the muddle in his brain.All this conversation went through his head
