Chapter: 156|Elena's backRICHARD Liam had just narrated word-for-word what went down between him and Vince. He showed up and Vince cancelled the meeting, demanding that I show up instead or send a family representative. “He's sick,” I hissed, intertwining my fingers. Anger was cooking inside me. And so was indignation. That bastard!“I can't agree less,” Liam muttered. “But what are we gonna do? He gave us three days and if we don't do what he wants, he will claim the building.”“He's an arrogant bastard.” Words couldn't do justice to the extent of my frustration. They weren't enough to vent my anger. “He is, but also an unreasonable one. I gather you both share equal rights to the building, right?”I nodded. “Yeah. 55-45. That's almost equal.”“Sure is, so why is he carelessly saying he's gonna claim the building? That goes against every business ethic I know. He can't claim it without your approval.”I wish that were true. I wish Vince were ethical and followed protocols. But I know him too well to know

Chapter: 155|It's just businessLEONARDO“For once, Anastasia, would you be so kind as to listen?!!!” I couldn't help but yell at the overly dolled-up Jezebel in front of me. She flinched at my outburst. “How dare you?!”“Forgive me, but I need you to listen.” I gritted out, sucking in a harsh breath. “You need to talk to Vince. Make him realize that he's slowly turning into a tyrant and that's not good for us.”“You're overreacting. This is just business.” She laughed, and my God, it was the meanest laugh I've ever had. “Business? Richard's never gonna agree to selling off his rights.”“Vince can handle Richard and whatever opposition he comes up with. I'm not bothered by this either. So what's eating you up, Leo?”“I can't believe you're saying that. You, for one, know how close Vince and Richard were when we were younger. Doesn't it break your icy heart even a little bit to see him doing this to Richard?”“And what is he doing?”“He's been coercing Richard into selling every property they have a shared ownershi

Chapter: 154|A banquetRICHARD The harmonious chatter from the crowd was like a symphony to my ears. Watching everyone with smiles warmed the deepest part of my heart. As an Alpha, I think the best moments of your lives should be when your people are happy, and it's all thanks to you. “Greetings, Alpha.” One of the soldiers guarding the gates came to me and whispered in my ear. “Greetings. Is there a problem?” I whispered back.“They're here,” he informed me. Finally!“Alright." Excitement crowded my insides as he bowed and left. I signaled to one of my right-hand men, and he skillfully silenced the crowd. I stood, ready to address my people. Their expectant, innocent gazes rested on me as I began speaking.“I'd like to thank everyone for honoring my invitation. It calms my heart to see us bonding like this again, after all the recent tragedies.”Saying that must have hurt some feelings because I could spot some of them sobbing. “I'm really sorry that all I can do is give you houses and food. I wish

Chapter: 153|Three Years LaterLEONARDO“If someone had told me three years ago that he'd do something this reckless, I wouldn't have believed it. Hell, I'd have called the person crazy.”“It says he formed a firm camaraderie with the northern sorcerers. What the fuck is camaraderie? It sounds like a big word for ‘bullshit’,” Luke chuckled, taking his eyes briefly off the phone he was reading the article from. “Yeah, you could say that,” I replied, re-reading the article. It was the thousandth time now. I was going through a range of emotions, from shock to disbelief, while reading this. It was completely unbelievable that Richard would actually invite sorcerers into his Pack and form whatever silly friendship or bond with them.It's despicable. He knew better than that!“Do you think he's in his right mind? Maybe he has dementia or maybe his head still hurts from whatever illness he suffered from three years ago?” Luke asked, with a mock chuckle. He was being a shithead about this. And it wasn't even funny! I d

Chapter: 152|Maddening puzzlesVINCE I woke up with a loud groan because of the monstrous migraine I was having. Opening my eyes was torture but I tried. The sun rays hit right on them, making me groan even louder. Who the fuck opened these blinds??I rubbed my aching eyes and dropped my hand back on the bed. The thing is, it didn't hit the bed. It hit a body. My face turned sharply in the direction, stunned at the sight of Anastasia, sleeping. What the fuck was she doing on my bed??Taking note of the fact that she was naked under the sheets, as I was, aroused a bad retching feeling in my throat. I didn't need someone to explain to me what the fuck happened. I think I already figured it out and it was disgusting the fuck out of me. Growing rigid with anger, I tapped her thighs. She didn't budge. I gave her a more vigorous shake, and she opened those eyes immediately. She had a satisfied smirk on her face that was only making me feel worse.“Morning, love.” she mused. “What the fuck are you doing on my bed?”

Chapter: 151|Thought she leftVINCE The lights from the mirrorball in the room were piercing, making me squint my eyes and groan at their blinding intensity. I was wasted on a couch, but my hand still reached for one of the bottles on the table. I grabbed it with a little strain and chugged the entire liquid.My eyes felt heavier and my head banged harder. I could feel the bottle slipping from my hand, but I didn't bother holding it tighter, so it smashed on the floor. Miguel sprang to the glass shards, ready to pick them all up. “Leave.” I slurred out, looking at him through mildly squinted eyes. My temples were beginning to throb. Alcohol already clogged my mind, I could feel it. I was already very drunk. I was in a risky zone. It'd be best if I stopped drinking but I can't.He stood, bowed, but didn't take a fucking step. “Miguel…” I slurred out.“Boss…”“I…wanna…be…alone…”“I should stay here with you, boss.” He said firmly. “Why? I don't need protection right now.”“I think I need to be here to stop yo

Sinful Nights With my Best-friend's Father
“Stealing from me wasn't the problem. Leaving before I could wake up wasn't what almost drove me insane,” he whispered, kissing my neck while thrusting slowly inside me.
“Then what did?” I moaned out, loving every bit of his firm, slow thrusts. “Why did you search for me so hard?”
“Because I missed you so much, baby. After that night, I lost my mind. All I could think of was seeing you again, holding you again, making love to you again. Kissing you….”
“Stop. Don't tell me such things,” I said between tears and moans. “Don't make me think you're in love with me.”
“But I am. I am in love with you, Lacy.” he declared, staring deeply into my eyes.
I froze. He can't mean that. He doesn't mean that. He's my best friend's father. And he's a billionaire, a man way out of my league.
He can't and shouldn't be in love with me.
I'm a pack of ugly and dirty secrets. I've got demons haunting my life every day. He's only gonna get caught up in my mess. They're gonna haunt him too. They'll ruin his reputation. They'll ruin him entirely.
He shouldn't be in love with me. And I shouldn't be either. But how can I keep my heart from falling for the one man that's proven again and again that he doesn't wanna let me go? That he's willing to burn the world for me? How can I not fall for a man who comes back every time I push him away?
How do I stay away from a man like CRISTIAN ANDERSON?

Chapter: Unhealthy feelingsCRISTIAN “She left?!” Aaliyah was having a hard time digesting the news. Jocey just told her that Lacy left first thing at dawn. “Yes, Ma'am. She said she had some family stuff to attend to. She didn't wanna disturb your sleep. So she pleaded with me to inform you.”“I don't understand. What do you mean? Why would she leave? We have one more day to spend here. We're both supposed to return to school tomorrow.”“She's not returning to school though. She said she had to meet a family member. She said it was urgent.”“What family member?” Aaliyah scoffed, ruffling her hair. Then her gaze found me. “Daddy, did you know about this?”“What? Of course not. Why would I?” I didn't mean to sound as nervous as I did. And the slight chuckle I did made me sound even more nervous. It's just that my emotions are all over the place. I'm having a hard time keeping them together. “What's going on?” Michael asked, tapping my shoulder. He wasn't alone. Chuck and Joe were behind him. They were coming

Chapter: GoodbyeLACY My fingers quivered as I slowly undid his belt. He was seated on the edge of the bed. I was kneeling between his thighs, while trying to undo his belt. But my fingers wouldn't stop trembling. For some unknown reason, I always feel a bit nervous around him. Not because he's got a hideous look. But just, I don't know, but there's just something about him that effortlessly unnerves me. I gasped lightly when he softly placed his hand on mine. He slowly took my hand down and undid the belt himself. Every second of that, his eyes stayed on me. Like he was trying to memorize every inch of my face. “Is your name really Lacy?” he asked, with a husky, breathy voice that made my insides tingle. “Yes.”“Do you like my friend, Joe?”Where's that question coming from?“Hmm?” He cocked a brow.“I think he's a sweet guy.”His jaw clenched. “Is that a yes?”“It's not a yes. Your friend is sweet but that's just it.”He exhaled. Like he was relieved or something. He took off the belt, but didn

Chapter: DealCRISTIAN “What?” I was beyond dumbfounded. I had my suspicions. I really did. But God, I'd expected her to deny it. Tell me she didn't do it. Tell me I was wrong. Tell me my intuitions were playing tricks on me. I wasn't mentally ready for such blunt truth. And worse, I wasn't sure what to do with such truth. “I took the box,” she reiterated in a very shaky voice. “But believe me, I didn't mean to hurt her. I saw it and I thought she wasn't using them anymore. You know Aaliyah got a lot of beautiful stuff she doesn't make use of anymore. I thought she wouldn't notice its disappearance. I thought she wouldn't give a fuck...”“Are you a kleptomaniac?” I blurted out my question, stopping her rambling. “Is it an addiction? Are you cursed? Must you steal everything shiny? Or do you have a crazy obsession with jewelry?”“I'm not a kleptomaniac.” She said, as tears rolled down her face. A girl like her would effortlessly shed fake tears to get away with this.

Chapter: She's messyCRISTIAN“Martha, tell me the truth. Did you take the jewelry box?” Jocey was interrogating the tenth maid and she had the same response as everyone else. “No, Ma'am. I didn't.” The maid replied. I sighed in sheer exasperation. This was getting exhausting. At this point, it was safe to believe the box vanished into thin air. Because no one was ready to admit they took it. “I'm really sorry, Sir.” Jocey turned to me. “I wish they were lying. But they're not. I've worked with them for years to know when they're being honest.”I ran a hand through my hair while nodding. “Sure. So what do we do now? If no one took the box, then maybe some ghost did.”“I know about the box because I take care of Aaliyah's things. The box was there until yesterday. If it vanished, then it was today. And I'm not trying to accuse anyone or to be rude, but…” she paused anxiously. “But what, Jocey? Tell me.” I insisted calmly, easing her anxiety. “But I think someone stole it.

Chapter: A knot in my chestCRISTIAN “There's your bitch.” Chuck whistled in a direction. We all looked and yeah, Aaliyah just came down the stairs with Lacy. They whispered something to each other and giggled. Lacy headed to the main kitchen while Aaliyah headed to the coffee counter. It's actually at the other end of the room. “Excuse me,” I said, heading to my daughter. “Dude, ain't we going to pick up the stuff anymore?” Joe asked. The stuff. He’s talking about a limited, branded Italian suit that I convinced the dealers to prepare for him. He couldn't convince them himself. He needed my connection. So I stepped in, and they agreed, at a reasonable, lower price. It got shipped down here last night. We were supposed to go pick it up, but after all that rambling about Lacy, I might as well ask them to return it.I ignored him and kept walking. Aaliyah was struggling with the coffee machine. Thank God I came over. My girl can't do shit to save her life. But she's the sweetest. She's just not domestic. “

Chapter: Not cuteCRISTIAN The guys were involved in their usual bickerings. I was just chuckling and putting in a few punchlines. They all spent the night here. As a matter of fact, almost everyone who showed up for the party last night slept over. There was enough room to accommodate everyone. I made sure of that when I built this place. My late wife was such a hostess. She loved these parties. She loved having the community over and preparing food for everyone. She was that perfect social butterfly. I was more of a reserved guy. But she was such a bubbly, extroverted beauty. She taught me how to vibe with others. I wouldn't say I learned much but at the very least, I know how to act interested and present when I find myself in conversation with people around me. A conversation that didn't involve business. You know, chitchat. The only conversations I could perfectly carry out were business conversations. Chit-chats used to drain me. It still does. I'm just a little more patient with it now. For

LUCIANO BROTHERS: THE ALPHA I WANT
"I don't care if you are in love with my brother, Kat, I'm still gonna come for you. I'm still gonna want you. I'm still gonna fuck you. And you're gonna let me. You have to..."
"Max..." I felt breathless, staring into his eyes. Dark and fierce. Unnerving and yet, exciting. "We can't do this..."
"Yes, we can, Kat. Yes, we can. And we will."
.................................................................................
Katniss has always had a deep, unwavering crush on Rex Luciano, the Alpha's son. On her 17th birthday, she took a bold step and kissed him at the nightclub.
But he had no memories of it, and he sure as hell wasn't at the nightclub that night.
Who had she kissed? Katniss wondered. But then she got introduced to his twin brother — the oldest of the Luciano brothers, and a walking menace.
Her heart sank. No fucking way did she kiss the wrong brother. One she never knew existed.
************************************
Twisted feelings. Sexual desires. Hard choices to make. What would be the endgame of Katniss, in her twisted, complicated bond with the Luciano brothers?

Chapter: 4• CAUGHTKATNISS Dinner has never felt this awkward and uncomfortable but right now, I was almost choking on my plate of salad and I was not even halfway through with it. I've had three cups of water but it didn't help to ease the tension I was feeling. If he keeps up with the heated stare, I fear I might melt away. Max Luciano. I don't know what his deal was, but the guy was freaking me out. And he wouldn't quit staring!! I would have been halfway okay if his blue eyes weren't ravaging my frame like I was just some object! He was sitting next to Mum, who was sitting next to Alpha Vicenzo, who was sitting next to Rex and then there was me. So literally, I was sitting opposite Max and that made me an easy prey for his devouring eyes. "Max decided to stay in the Pack with us from here on. It was a sudden decision, but of course, I agreed. He's been away from home for so long. I wanna spend some time with him too. I haven't gotten the chance to do that since his birth."

Chapter: 3• IN A MESSKATNISS Minutes passed but I was still speechless and shocked. Everyone was staring at me, waiting for me to say something. But what do I say?! Right in front of me were two guys who looked just the same and I couldn't easily figure out which of them was the guy I've loved all my life and which was the stranger. "Kat," Rex grabbed my hand, wearing that gummy smile of his. It was the only way to convince me that it was really him. "You should say something." "You – you have a brother?" I stuttered, still staring at the guy. Funny enough, he was staring right back at me. Not in a normal, surprising, and innocent stare. But in a heated, dark stare that had my insides twisting in panic. His blue eyes had a yellow glint in them that made those pairs the weirdest eyes I'd ever seen. Blue eyes. Oh, My God! Blue eyes! "Yeah, I do have a brother. He's my twin brother. I'm sorry I never mentioned it. We all thought we could surprise you with him." Rex explained but I was on the verge of

Chapter: 2• THE SURPRISEKATNISS "You're messing with my head, Eva and I hate it. Just go away. Leave me alone!" I yelled at her. I didn't know if it was the booze I'd swallowed, but a part of me didn't wanna look at her face much longer. How could she taunt me like this? How could she make a joke about Rex being here? She of all people knew how much of a sensitive issue this was to me. Bumping into a random man, I quickly backed away, muttering my apologies. When I straightened, I was staring at an over-familiar figure sitting at the bar. He wasn't looking in my direction, no, not a chance. He seemed lost in thought, fiddling with the glass in his hand. His hair was brown and tousled to the side of his face. Did he get a new haircut and tint? It was black the last time I saw him. Again, he wasn't looking at me and I was grateful for that. He would have caught me smitten at the sight of him – flushed at how hot and sexy he looked tonight. "Rex…" I mumbled weakly, as my heart constricted in pain. Why wa

Chapter: 1• HATING HIMKATNISS "Gosh, I hate him!" Cussing for the umpteenth time, I slammed my bag on the table, slumping into the chair. Eva joined me in the booth, but her eyes were looking around and she seemed like she would rather be anywhere but here. "Hate who?" She asked absentmindedly, nervously taking off her bag and placing it on the table. "No one." I replied instead, refusing to feed her a long, monologue of how pissed and disappointed I was at him. I hate that I was feeling this hurt by him. "What are we really doing here, Kat?" She turned to me with eyes that held a dose of fear and tears. Eva might be a grown-ass and pretty mature at some stuff, but she was prim as hell. A goody-two-shoes. The one who colors within the line. The "good" friend every parent would want their daughter to have. Right now, she was feeling like shit that I dragged her down here. But I had no choice. I would never come here alone. I might be daring, but not stupid. And coming here alone would be plain stu

Chapter: PROLOGUEThe loud cries of the newborns echoed past the building, stirring up every sleeping soul and awakening the dead in the darkest part of the forest. The moon slowly took a bloody shade of red, casting red glows on the earth. Midwives wore mixed expressions as they held the boys in their arms. The twins that had just entered the world. "The oldest is…a monster." One of the midwives declared, staring with fright at the little bundle in her arms. Just then, fireflies lit up the room, surrounding the boy and causing his skin to glow. Gasps filled the room and the midwife carrying the child almost dropped him. She was trembling and tearing up. "Oh dear goddess, what is this?" She mumbled in frantic tears. "Ma'am?" The second of the midwives called out to the woman who had just given birth to the boys. But there was no response. The woman had her eyes closed and she wasn't breathing anymore. She was gone. Everyone in the room broke into deep sobs as they mourned her. The door opened a
