“Are you going to get up anytime, boss?” Sergio asks. I groan, my head pounding. Was I hit by a fucking bus? No, Jessica Jovit was the one who hit me. Even when I sleep, she’s there, driving me insane.“Fuck off.” My whole body hurts."I assume you don't want an update on Jessica, then?" I open my eyes to see the high ceiling in my office. I must have fallen asleep on the couch here. I sit up, making my headache worse. Three days of hell. That’s what I’ve been in, and I did the one thing I told myself I never would. I drowned myself in alcohol. It was the only way I could find sleep. Never in my life have I been turned this upside down.I went over to my desk, popped something for this headache, and chased it down with water before motioning for Sergio to spit it out.“You can’t keep this up.”“I didn’t ask for your opinion. Now, out with it.” I usually spend most of my time in my condo in the city, but since Jessica, I've been staying out on the estate more often. Well, that was the

It’s disheartening when I wake up to an empty bed once again. I sit up, glancing around the room. Callahan is nowhere to be seen. My stomach turns. I put my hand over my mouth, bolting toward the bathroom. I barely make it in time before I’m throwing up.“Miss Jessica,” I hear Emma call. I want to tell her to go away, but I’m still throwing up. “Oh my.” The water turns on, and a moment later, a cold, wet cloth is pressed against my head. I drop down onto the bathroom floor next to the toilet. “You don’t eat enough.”“Oh my God.” I reach up and flush the toilet. It was a lot of dry heaving.“How do you feel?”“I'm fine.” I try to get up when a dizzy spell hits me. Emma grabs me, steadying me."Fine, my ass.” She helps me get to the sink so I can brush my teeth and wash my face. That does make me feel better. “In bed. I'll be back with toast and something to drink.”“Thank you.” Anything to help with my stomach. I place my hand on my belly, understanding why I threw up. I thought last n

“He’s intense,” Riley says the second the door falls closed behind Callahan. We are truly alone for the first time.“I don’t know what he is.” I sit back down on the bed. “I still can’t believe you're here.”“It was insane. His man just came and took me.”“I guess he has a style.” Callahan doesn’t hold anything back. He says what he thinks and does what he wants.“Are you okay?” She grabs my hand.“I don’t know.” Unable to help myself, I tell her most of what has happened since I’ve been here.“Aidan thought he'd kill you to stop the marriage or marry you himself.” I don’t want to ask which of those options my brother was hoping for.“He’s not going to marry me.”“Are you sure about that?” Riley pushes her glasses up her nose."That's what I heard his men say about me. That I would only be his mistress. That a Scarfoni would never marry an Jovit.”“I overheard Father say they’d offered you to him before, and he said no.” I nod. It burns, but it only goes to prove my point.“So that’s

“Eat.” Callahan wraps his arm around me, pulling me into his lap. Under the table, his hand comes between my thighs to cup my sex over my dress.“Callahan.” I elbow him. Not that it does anything. I open my mouth as soon as he delivers a bite of cheesy scrambled eggs to my lips. I’ve been eating them for breakfast every morning. I can’t get enough of them.My sister glances up at us from her book as she takes a bite of her bagel. Over the past two weeks, we've both really settled in here. Things have slowly started to change. Callahan’s men don’t go out of their way to be chatty with me, but they’re polite. They talk more to Riley, but Callahan doesn’t get all growly when they do.“How long do you think we’ll be gone?”“A few nights.”“I don’t need another—” The spoon goes directly into my mouth. Riley snickers from behind her book. I chew it and glare at him. When I see that’s not going to work, I give my butt a wiggle. His hand between my thighs tightens.“Rabbit,” he warns, which o

I lie in bed, unable to sleep. All I can think about is Callahan and what might be happening right this very second. I toss and turn until I finally give up and decide to go make some tea. When I open the bedroom door, I freeze when I see a figure standing in the hallway outside Riley's door.“It’s me.” Nikolai flips on the hallway light. I notice blood on the corner of his mouth and right eyebrow. But more than that, I see that he’s holding a gun.“What are you doing?”“I think the better question is, what is Riley doing?” Nikolai tries the handle on her door without knocking, but it doesn’t open.“The hell are you doing?” I rush toward him as he lifts his foot, kicking the door right in. “Stop!” I grab the back of his shirt, but it does nothing but slip right out of my grasp. I fall back on my ass into the hallway. Riley shoots up from the bed, trying to blink away the sleep.“Nikolai?” She rubs her eyes.“Where is it?” He towers over her on the bed. Riley scoots until her back hits
