Semua Bab HOW TO TOY WITH A KILLER'S HEART: Bab 1 - Bab 5

Someone is following me. I hear their footsteps behind me. It's careful and slow, as though they are creeping with the tip of their toes. I don't see them, but I’d be damned if I dared to turn my head back. Not when they seem to be inching closer by every second that I increase my steps. When I dare to dart my glance towards the corner of my eyes, I see the sinister, brooding shadow hover around mine. I gasp and walk faster, boots stomping against the wet tarmac as my steps quicken. Mud and water splash behind me and drench my already tattered clothes, but that's the least of my problems. I couldn't possibly look more homeless than I already do. It's dark, it's cold, it's lonely. It's raining too and I have no umbrella. The path I am walking on has nothing on its sides but ugly, dead bushes with leaves that crinkled against each other. Dying in front of me. Everything around me screams death; grim following my every step like a vengeful killer. I haven't offended anybody all my li

My entire body goes into a shock and I jump from the door, shaking, seizing and screaming for help.

I wince as I feel her twisting my wrists from behind, crying as my face smudges against the wall, dust and broken dry paint entering my mouth as I try to scream. Fighting her is no use.

I look up, expecting to see Alessandro Ferrara's chiseled face glaring at me, but in that moment, what I see instead is my whole life flashing before my eyes. This is NOT my handsome devil. What stares down at me is a menacing gaze from a thick-bearded Brock Lesnar look-alike wrapped in a thick tuxedo and a hard scowl that could curdle milk. I step back, mortified. “You're not as subtle as you think you are, miss,” he speaks gruffly, “You either take it to the pole or pick up the crumbs left of your morals and exit!”I frown, taken aback. “Excuse me?” “I know what you're doing, and you're not the first woman to try,” the man says seriously, “Stay away from Mr Ferrara or you could get yourself into a lot of trouble, kiddo.”With that, he disappears into the group behind me. Only then do I realize he is one of Alessandro's guards. In the same group, I watch as Alessandro walks away with his wife and entourage, completely oblivious to the encounter with me and his guard .
