AnnaI called Tim as soon as Estonia went back to Duncan's dressing room.“Tim, I need your help.” I said as soon as he picked up.“What's wrong? Are you okay?” he asked, his voice frantic. I heard a honk from his phone and concluded he was probably outside the precinct.“No. I have a kind of friend here; her name is Lily, and, well, she was acting erratic. I'm not sure what's wrong with her, but I need you to look into her tonight. She is one of the escorts. You've seen her before, but I'll send you a picture, but before that, I need you to do something for me. I need you to follow them. I have no idea where they are going, but follow her.” I told him the name of the van and the licence plate they'd taken.“Alright, I'm on it. I'll inform some of my PIs and some patrol cops.”“Thank you, Tim!” I said.“Tim?” I heard Levi's voice behind my back, and I froze.I slowly turned around to find him staring at me, his eyes hard, his nostrils flared.The door was supposed to be closed. How mu

Anna“Such a beautiful woman,” the French man that had gotten the ring said as his chauffeur opened the car door of the sleek black SUV.The ring was with him. He'd transferred about three million dollars for the ring, and by the looks in his eyes, I was absolutely sure he planned on doing whatever he wanted to my body.“Thank you,” I said with a fake sultry smile as I pulled my trench coat tighter around me and slipped into the car.Now, that I was with him, all I could think about was how stupid I had reacted. This was going to raise a lot of questions.I wondered what Duncan was thinking now.He'd probably be as confused as I was.My phone vibrated as the car moved.It was Duncan calling. I silenced the call.I had to focus on stealing that ring back, but how?How was I supposed to do that without him suspecting?I felt Jean-Luc’s hand on my shoulders, and when I turned, he was grinning at me.I almost puked into my mouth. He was well into his 60s with the look of an 80-year-old.I

AnnaLove? I couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe anything.My heart was beating in my chest and my mind was a complete mess.Duncan was in the living room talking to his men while I laid in the room, unable to sleep.I fiddled with rmthe ring in my hand. I had managed to snatch it despite my fear and what I had seen.Hallucination?There was no way that was the truth. I couldn't have hallucinated that but then again, Jean hadn't taken his drink. In fact, he'd made an effort not to.I wasn't sure what to think anymore.My head was spinning. At this point, I was going insane.Maybe Tim was right. Maybe I was playing a dangerous game and didn't know it.The door to the bedroom suite opened and Dun walked towards me.I pretended to be asleep. The last thing I wanted to do was have sex.I was too cofused, too stressed.I felt the bed dip and seconds later Duncan's hands around my waist. He pulled me closer to him and held me right. I held my breath expecting him to start caressing

AnnaVenice was unlike anything I had ever seen before.The moment we stepped onto the water taxi, the world around me shifted into something out of a dream. The air smelt different, being yet crisp, tinged with the scent of aged stone and the faintest hint of something sweet, like pastries cooling on windowsills.The city itself unfolded before me like a painting in motion, Buildings weathered by countries, leaned toward the canals, their faded facades kissed by the golden afternoon light. Balconies draped in the ivy and flower boxes spilled over with bursts of color. Gondolas moved gracefully through the narrow waterways, the gondoliers dressed in traditional striped shirts, pushing along with an effortless elegance.I couldn't tear my eyes away."It's... breathtaking," I murmured, barely aware I had spoken aloud.Beside me, Duncan leaned back against the seat, watching me instead of the scenery. "Venice has that effect."I turned to him, finding his gaze steady, knowing. The way he
