• My Protector   Trapped

  Eleni's Pov Handsome! The man I’d bumper into that night at the bar was standing in front of me. I almost didn’t recognize him. His hair and beard were cut shorter, but his eyes were as dark and penetrating as the first day I looked into them. “Eleni? Is this you?” He asked. I wondered why he was looking at me like he’d seen a ghost. Before I could answer, scar face and the woman rushed out and began apologizing. “Boss! We are so sorry we didn’t know you were here.” They said as scar face grabbed my arm to drag me away. “Take your hands off her!” Handsome thundered. The anger in his voice scared us all and reminded me of how he’d protected me from Glykos. I almost smiled at the memory. Scar face immediately removed his hand. Handsome glared at him, then turned to me. “Eleni, are you okay? What are you doing here?” He asked, ignoring the others. The distraction had given me time to recover from my shock. “I’m sorry I don’t know who that is. My name is Jane.” I said c

• My Protector   Deja Vu

  Eleni's Pov But desperation got the better of me. "What is the job?” I demanded impatiently. “like I said easy work. All you have to do is keep your mouth shut, ask no questions, and agree not to use a cellphone.” I frowned. Looking at his scarred face and tattooed arms, I was getting criminal vibes from him and I’d been round enough criminals to know this job was something I should keep away from. He saw me hesitate then shrugged. “If you don’t want it then I’ll find someone else. I just wanted to help you. I can see you need it and I have a soft spot for pretty girls.” He grinned and turned to leave. Keep away from this Eleni, you know this man is a criminal and this mystery job is probably criminal too! A part of my mind screamed at me. You need this if you don’t want to end up homeless! Another part countered. Once again I was stick between the devil and the deep blue sea, and again I choose to swim. Wait!” I said. He turned, smiling mockingly. “I want t

• My Protector   The offer

  Eleni’s Pov I sat up startled, breathing heavily, my body covered in sweat. It had been another nightmare, it wasn't real. I sighed in relief. Three weeks later and I was still having the nightmare of killing Alexios. I looked at my watch. Almost 6am, time to get up if I wanted to be on time for breakfast. I got up and quietly went to the bathroom to clean myself up. As I took a shower I kept having flashbacks. No matter how much I told myself it was an accident, my concience still bothered me. I still remember the fear I felt when I saw his dead body. I knew Christos would never accept I had acted in self defense so I did what I hadn't wanted to do in the beginning, I ran. I was too scared to go to my room and take anything so I just ran with the money in my pocket from my tips. I wanted to get far away from LA and all my troubles. But my money ran out when I got to New York and with nowhere to go and no money, I ended up in a shelter. It wasn’t so bad. I got food, a warm bed

• My Protector   Planning The Punishment

  He and Leo had gone to Washington two days before for a business meeting, which had ended a day earlier. “Since we got the job done quickly and have a day more to spend, let’s have a little fun.” Leo suggested as they left the meeting. “No, I want to head back. I can’t wait to tell Dad the good news.” “We will but first let’s have our own little celebration. Let it be your last wild party before Mia ties you down.” Leonardo teased. “No woman can tie me down, marriage to Mia is just a duty. It won’t stop me from doing whatever I want.” He said firmly. “Then show it now. Let’s fly to LA and have a ball. We will hit a few Casinos and party with beautiful women.” “LA? Dad won’t like that, he has warned us to stay away from LA. He has a few powerful enemies that could make trouble for us.” “Who is going to tell him? He will think we are still here. We will be back before he finds out. All we have to do is keep a low profile.” Niccolo was secretly looking forward to

• My Protector   The Shocking Discovery

  Niccolo stared at him in shock. “Tell me everything.” He demanded harshly. “Mr. Leo came in before midnight and they have been in there since then.” He paused, then continued. “He spends most nights with her. I am sorry I didn’t tell you sir, I was scared-“ “Shut up. I will see for myself.” “Sir-“ “Don’t worry I won’t make a scene I just want to see.” The doorman stared in fear as he headed to Mia’s flat. He let himself in what a spare key she didn’t know he had. The house was dark but a stream of light came in from the half opened bedroom door. He looked in and saw his worst nightmare. His cousin was in bed with his fiancée. They were both naked and fast asleep in each other's arms. He clenched his fist in fury. His first instinct was to pull out his gun and kill the bastards, but he controlled himself. Mia was a Conti, killing her would undo the peace his dad had worked so hard to build, and Leonardo despite his treachery was still family. Besides a bullet to the head was

• My Protector   Regret

  He held the jacket, picturing Eleni’s beautiful face and the way she had looked at him with her innocent brown eyes. He could still her her voice. "I like you" Had should really meant that? He would never know because that bastard Christos Markis had killed her. It was all his fault. He should have taken her with him the night he had fled. Even though she refused he should have forced her to go with him. Now she was gone and all he had was regret. There was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts. “What!” He barked. “Don’t shout like that Nico.” He recognized his mother’s voice. Annoyed, he threw the jacket and cap on the bed as she came in. “What’s wrong Nico?” Julia Romano asked, coming to sit beside her son. “Nothing.” He snapped. “I don’t want an engagement party. I hate them-“ “I am not talking about that. I want to know what is going on with you. Ever since you came back from Washington you have changed. Especially towards Leonardo and Mia. Please tell m
