ELROY’S POVThe moment I drove the car to a halt, my heart leaped out of my chest at the sight right in front of me. There was a black chevy wedged in between two trees and the front of the car looked destroyed from where Noah and I stood before rushing over to the smoky vehicle.I searched the driver and passenger seats but there were empty “Evelyn! Evelyn!” I called out.“Miss Reeds” Noah called out, drawing my attention to the back seat and there she was, strapped into the seat with blood pooling at the side of her head, her body tilted towards the headrest of the seat and immobile. I shoved Noah aside, dragging the car door and I flung it open with much difficulty but as long as I was getting Evelyn out, it didn’t matter that it was difficult.“Help is on the way, I already phoned an ambulance” Noah said as I unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her out of the car. I didn’t turn to thank him but I was sure he knew that I was thankful either way.I laid her on the ground and pressed m

EVELYN’S POVMy breath hitched when he reached for my phone, I hung up the call almost immediately for fear and without hesitation, I threw my phone out the window.“You think you’re smart!” He yelled, his true character seeping out “I’m just trying to keep you from making mistakes” he reached his hand towards me while one hand was on the steering wheel.“What mistake? My mistake was ever trying to think I could change you” I sobbed “You almost ruined my life and now that I’ve started all over again, you’re here to deal more damage?” “You left me with no choice, I had to find you” he said, his hand still steadied on the steering wheel. It really irked me at this time that he was a great driver. I only hoped in my heart that Elroy would be able to find me with the hints I left on the road and the fact that I let it slip about where we were and going, all I needed to do now was to stall but I didn’t know how.The car moved rigorously and he drove as though he wanted us to meet our make

ELROY’S POVI reluctantly made my way out of the house to avoid a bigger problem, Tiffany Sterling. The blonde haired witch has been on my case all week, one minute she’s trying to cuddle with me, another minute she’s fighting with me on our project grade like I didn’t do my part.“Hey” Noah waved, leaning on his car door and slipping his hands back into his pockets as a faint smile on his lips, I waved back as I made my way out of the convenience store, a solace and my hiding place from Tiffany.“How did you know I’d be here?” I asked, even though it felt like a rhetorical question, I still needed his answer.“Come on man, you’ve been my best pal for years, I’d be dumb to not know your whereabouts right about now” he answered “And Tiffany gave me a heads up that she would coming to your place” pulling his hand out for a shake. I chuckled lightly before dapping him.“Want a drink?” I asked, taking out the tiny carton strawberry milk I had bought on my little venture to the store. He t

EVELYN’S POVI shoved him away before someone could see “What the f*ck are you doing?!” I whispered, looking past his shoulder to see if Chloe had come back or if a maid was in on the action.“I’ve tried to stay away from you..it just..it just doesn’t work” he quivered in a way that made my heart melt, his eyes were piercing holes in mine but I didn’t let him think of the effect they had on me.“Just stay away!” I reprimanded him, putting some distance between us “This is your home, heck, this is Chloe’s room, get out” I wasn’t taking any chances, I’ve had too many encounters with him in closed spaces to know that it was a bad idea to have him and I together right now.“Uh..Miss Reeds” Chloe called from outside the door.Startled, I pulled back even further “Yes Chloe..” I answered loudly “Did you forget something?”“No, no, I wanted to ask if brother is there and also if you’ll take some cookies with your orange juice” she responded and for a second, Elroy and I exchanged glances, b

EVELYN’S POVI felt an awful shrill in my spine when I heard I say those words “What did you say?” I asked with an ear bent forward so she could repeat her sentence once again.“I wanted to suprise you..I’m sorry I didn’t inform you earlier” she said with a melancholic tone. What on earth am I even doing? Trying to scold her, a woman who did everything to make me feel safe and secure.“Wow..I’m so happy for you. Wait” I paused “You’re the new librarian and professor?” I asked, pointing out the information Ryder had given me just an hour ago.“Hey miss Anya..” Elroy greeted “Congratulations” That should’ve been the first thing I say “Congratulations Anya, I’m sorry I was caught off guard” I apologized.“Yeah..I am, so you mind giving me a little tour before we leave?” She raised a brow and it made me chuckle a bit.“Do you need to ask? I’ll gladly give you a tour” I walked towards her and slipped my arm into hers, locking our arms as we moved “Goodbye Mr Vans” I said sternly as we mov

EVELYN’S POVThe next couple of days felt like a breeze, I stayed away from Elroy and best part, it was now over, which meant, it was now evaluation period and time for normal classes.“Good morning class” I said calmly and they all answered in unison, as it was all week, Tiffany and Elroy couldn’t care any less with their giggling and hand cuddling.“It’s evaluation week, so take your textbooks and works really seriously” I said, flipping the pages of the book in front of me “I’m convinced everyone has sent in their projects” I raised a brow, there was a low grumble amongst them.“I’ll just have to check in on your works” I said loudly when I noticed someone’s arm in the air. “Yes Laurentis” I lifted my eyes to see a snarky smirk on the corner of his lips.“I wanted to pass out an invitation to my celebration” he started, I tried as hard to avoid his eyes by staring at the words on the page “And you’re invited too professor” he added.The class was in uproar, rowdy and inattentive “S

Serena's POV I stared at Adrian with wide eyes as he began to pace, waiting for Jack to retrieve the videos. Jack was still fiddling around inside the car. After a while, he came back out with a laptop in hand. He walked straight to Adrian and handed the laptop over."I've downloaded most of the videos for today's events. I'll go through them to see who it was that bumped into her." Jack explained.Adrian snatched the laptop from his hands, instead."Not you, you're fired." He barked.Jack looked at him in confusion. He didn't seem to understand what was going. Then, his gaze slid to me and he finally understood."Dur, I...please...you....""I said you're fired!" Adrian cut in. "Since you let an inexperienced pregnant girl get past you, that .means you're shut at security and if I leave you around, who knows, she may eventually get kidnapped.""No, sir. That would never happen." Jack said."Get the hell out of my sight." Adrian retorted.There was no point arguing., so he turned to l

Serena's POV "What are you not telling me? I demanded.Gabriel chuckled nervously and stood up."I just don't want you to get yourself in trouble. Adrian is the head of the Mafia family in Sicily which means he's a very dangerous man. He's got eyes everywhere and will not be happy to find you looking in his business. So I don't think you should keep sniffing around." He explained.I exhaled in frustration."But if he knows something about my father's death, then I want to know it too." I protested."You father died in a car crash, Serena. It was an accident. I don't want you putting silly ideas in your head."I looked down and but my lip trying to hold back the tears that were starting to pool in my eyes."I just don't want you to get hurt." He said softly and tapped my back gently, calming me down.I sniffed and stood rubbing my palms against my jeans."I should go." I stated.Gabriel's face scrunched up in confusion"But you just got here." He whined. "Stay. I was just about to hav

Serena's POV By the time I took a shower and changed out of Adrian's shirt, I felt better about the events of last night and this morning. I also noticed I felt somewhat nauseous but I chalked it up to the pregnancy and ate a lot of mints to tamp it down. It was almost noon so I decided to go sit in the library and read. The minute I opened the door, it felt like I had teleported into a different universe. There were guards everywhere and I started to wonder why Adrian had installed all of them inside the house. I shut the door softly behind me and stepped out. "Ma'am..." A voice cut through my subconscious and I whipped around to see who it was. Another guard. He had been stationed outside my door. "What is it!" I asked. He cleared his throat and looked at me nervously. "I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to go anywhere without permission." He said. I scoffed in disbelief. "You're kidding, right?" I asked. He just stared at me. Angrily, I turned around and stormed down t

Serena's POV Adrian's eyes moved between Bianca and I. Her hands were still tangled in my hair. Her nails digging in my scalp like she wanted to rip me apart. I refused to cry and give her the satisfaction of seeing her break me.The moment Adrian's voice interrupted, Bianca's grip loosened. Fear crossed her face, but she masked it immediately. Then, she let me go like I had burnt off her flesh."Let. Her. Go." Adrian demanded.Every word dropped slowly with venomous poison dripping out of them.I felt Bianca shiver at his tone. The fear she was trying to hide was now very evident. She laughed nervously."We.....we were just goofing around. That's all." She said "It's nothing serious"Her tone was laced with uncertaintyAdrian moved so fast, I didn’t even see it coming.One second he was behind us, the next his hand wrapped around Bianca’s wrist, yanking her away from me so hard she stumbled forward and almost fell"You don't ever fucking touch her! Am I clear?" He growled in a low t

Serena’s POV I walked back to my room on shaky legs with his scent wrapping all around me. It felt like my senses were on hyper alert. I stared at the ceiling for the next few hours, tossing and turning. Sleep was not forthcoming. I groaned and got up again, pacing the length of my room."What the hell just happened?" I asked myselfWhy was my body reacting this way to a man I barely liked? I shook my head trying to shake off the naughty thoughts running through them."Fucking hell" I sighed and went out of the room going straight to the kitchen I pulled out a bottle of water and drank it, hoping to drown the butterflies flickering in my belly.Next, I pulled out a giant tub of ice cream and plopped myself on the sofa to watch some TV"Hey," a voice said from the doorway.I yelped and turned around, Luca was standing in the doorway with a smile.I rubbed at my chest trying to calm my racing heart. I thought I was alone."Hey," I greeted back."Mind if I join you?" He asked.I shook

Serena’s POVAs I shut the door, my back stayed glued to the door. There was a tension in the air that I couldn’t ignore. The scent of him was everywhere—a dangerous mix of musk and citrus, and a dash of spirit. My eyes locked on his and my heart did a million backflips. He was leaning over his desk, and his body resembled a work of art. My eyes drew immediately to the tattoo from his neck covering his left arm…and that just made him even more sexy. And then my eyes travelled to his rock hard abs, and his v-line was carved to perfection and his—"You should be sleeping." he said, drawing my eyes away from his body. I cleared my throat, "I couldn't sleep," I whispered, hoping that my drooling wasn’t so obvious. "Come here." As he said those words, a current surges through me. He didn’t bark, he didn’t shout. His voice was so calm, yet it caused a storm to rage inside my belly.Against the loud voice screaming in my head that listening to him was a grave mistake, I walked toward
