  Luca's Pov His shoulders shook with laughter as he regarded me in amusement. “No shit little man.” He said and then cleared his throat and got serious. “I need someone to help me deliver packages but I need someone I can trust, you see.” His dark eyes narrowed beneath the veil of his denim face cap, “I’m not sure I can trust you little man.” “I can be trusted. I swear.” I tried to put on the most trustworthy face I could muster. If there even was such a thing but the man shook his head and clicked his tongue. “Nah. What I need delivered is special stuff. Top secret. Know what I mean?” His stare was intense as he waited for me to catch his drift. Took a few seconds but I did and my eyes widened like saucers, “Wha….” I stuttered. “You could be making as much as two hundred bucks every week cuz. But it takes special boys to do it.” He winked at me. Drugs. He needed me to move drugs. My face fell in disappointment and disgust. “I can't. I've gotta go.” I shifted uncomfortably fr

• Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   56. HIS BULLIES MY NEMESIS.

  Luca's Pov Due to our new living conditions and financial situation, Dara had to work multiple shifts. This meant less time on her hands for homeschooling Ollie so she had to put him in school. I couldn't be left idle at home so she put me in as well. I don't know how she did it but I was now bearing the name Lucas Whitney and I was her adopted son. It was likely the school hadn't asked too many questions. Dara drove us to school every morning and picked us up after closing hours but after the first week, she couldn't manage it due to her work schedule. So Ollie and I took the bus and walked the rest of the way to and from school. It was a new experience for him and he was scared every morning as we had breakfast. I always tried to cheer him up. Dara tried too but she was usually so exhausted she couldn't do much. I made sure to hold his hands when we walked to school. Made sure to reassure him. It wasn't a puzzle why he was scared of school. He was a little different from oth

• Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   55. A New House.

  Luca's Pov He always had that disgusting smile on his face when it was over. It lasted only a few seconds before being replaced by anger. Anger at me for crying. Anger at me for not enjoying it. Enjoying him. He would strike me, hold me by the neck and make me swear never to tell anyone. I never did. I couldn't. Mother was too drugged out of her mind to notice what was going on much less believe it if she were told. I had no one else to tell. And so on it went. For months. I became withdrawn. I started to stay out of the house more and so did my siblings. I didn't tell them anything and they didn't tell me either but I suspected he was the same way with them too. Four months of this and I had enough. I would rather be on the streets than live with these people. I couldn't go back to the orphanage. I was too old now and they would simply give me out to the next available couple willing to take me. I couldn't go through another family again. I didn't want to. On the day

• Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   54. Paper Bullets.

  Luca's Pov The blood moved sluggishly against the white tiles, heading for the first stair. “Let's hope no one comes down this corridor in the next ten minutes.” I muttered to myself as the finger came loose. There was only a light crackle through the earpiece so Sage and Elias must've logged off again. A few minutes early this time. I took a deep breath, steadying myself. The gun with the silencer attached held only a few bullets at a time so the automatic was my best bet. Going in quietly would be impossible now. I adjusted my disguise, making sure the clothes fit snugly and then I pressed the severed finger to the sensor and it pinged. The door made a low buzzing sound and slid open. Another long corridor. Two hefty guards with their backs to the wall. They turned when I entered and I had a small moment of hope as I walked past them without any hassle. A few steps past them, I heard one of them call out.“Hey you!” Shit. I turned around and raised a hand in greeting.

• Taming The Beast: His Ruthless Desire   53. Mothers (2)

  Luca's Pov Sydney Paulson was in the news the next day as a woman wanted for the murder of her husband. The nuns had been shocked to find me at the door by that odd hour of the night. They'd baraged me with questions and I tried to answer as honestly as I could. They didn't believe me, not until they saw the news the next afternoon. The police had come looking for me with more questions and as with the nurses, I tried to be as honest as I could. Yes, I was home when it happened. No, I didn't know she planned it. Yes, She drove me here. No, I didn't know where she was going. No, I didn't know the whereabouts of any of her family members.I told them how he used to beat her. Showed them the marks from when he beat me. I told them of the time she almost called the police but locked herself in the bathroom and wept instead. They believed me. It wasn't like they had much of a choice. What reason would an eight year old have to lie about something like this. It was the first

  Luca's Pov The silence in the aftermath was loud. One unconscious, One dead. I withdrew my knives, from the shin of one and the neck of the other. I wiped them clean on their clothes. The staff uniform I wore had blood stains on them now. Only drops but they stood out on the pale green fabric. I would have to switch disguises again. The dead guard was bloodied up so it'll have to be the other one. I'd have to hope I got far enough without anyone noticing the tear in the pant leg. “Damm.” Sage breathed out. “What's the status on the next floor, Sage?” I asked as I changed quickly. “Um, uhh…There's a lot more dudes there. More menacing, Heavier weapons. There's no patients on this floor either.” I mentally calculated how many minutes I had left as I grabbed the handgun and silencer from the dead guy. Not much time left. “Boss, Fingerprint.” Elias reminded me. “Right.” “Oh hell.” Sage moaned. “Fuck you grumbling about? You knew this was part of the plan.” Elias scolded.
