Chapter: 215|EpilogueVINCE “That boy's a piece of shit and you know it!’ “What?! Daddy, you don't get to say that!” Claire was fuming as much as I was. “What? I don't get to tell you the truth? You're mingling with a piece of shit and it's my job to make sure you realize that and put an end to it!”“You're always saying that about every guy I hang out with. You always talk down on them and call them nasty names.”“Because they're all assholes, Lady!” I said in exasperation. “You have such awful taste in picking male friends, it's breaking my heart.”She gasped, folding her arms dramatically. She'd hit my face if she could. I know that. “Have I ever complained about your female friends? No. Why? Because they're perfect. You've got good taste in picking female friends. So maybe you should just stick to doing that.”“You're believable. But no, I'm not gonna do what you want.”“Oh, Jesus.” This little ass lady is trying my patience on a night as perfect as this. “Matter of fact, I'm gonna go call him rig

Chapter: 214|FinaleVINCELeo gave another frustrated sigh that got Richard guffawing like a maniac and got me fighting hard to hold down my chuckle. “What's so funny you two?” Leo grunted out, bending to take another shot with his cue stick. We’re in my clubhouse, unwinding with drinks and games. It's a random Saturday evening. We thought a good bro-time out here in my clubhouse would be therapeutic. But so far it's been messy. Leo's in a losing snooker game with Richard. Actually, he's always losing in these games against Richard or me. And then I lose to Richard most of the time. Richard's the genius when it comes to games. “I'm just thinking you might wanna swallow your pride and forfeit. He's already whooped your ass enough.” I was taunting Leo. “Yeah, right.” Leo rolled his eyes. Richard was having a good laugh again. You could tell he was really enjoying this. He's actually a fucking humble dude. If I had half his game skills, I'd never shut up about it. I'll gloat in Leo's face every fucking

Chapter: 213|CALL MERICHARD I spent roughly an hour plus with the doctor before finally stepping out of his office. Tracy was sitting in the hallway and quickly got up when she saw me step out. “Father,” she began nervously. She had eye bags from crying and the sleepless night from watching her mother alone for days. Her hair was rough and unkempt. I doubt she's washed it in days. It still breaks my heart that she didn't contact me sooner. Why did she think she couldn't? “What did he say about Mother's condition? How bad is it?” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. The doctor said a lot. Something about the bones becoming terminally weak. Could lead to paralysis. Could also lead to losing her sight and becoming an invalid and stuff. They all sounded serious but they also sounded like she needed more experienced health practitioners taking care of her. This mid-class Pack and doctors would kill her faster than she should die. “Father?” Tracy tugged at my hand. “Please tell me. What did the do

Chapter: 212|Woman of my dreamsVINCE I watched with a smile on my face as the cars trooped into my house. They stopped a little distance away from us. The guards opened one of the doors and Cheryl popped out, excitedly. She was finally discharged from the hospital. Both her and her son, Bryan.She indeed looks healed. She's all radiant and elegant, like the old Cheryl.“Cheryl!”“Elena!”Their screams were ear-bugging, and it got worse as they got into a tight embrace, laughing and sobbing at the same time. Watching them gave me a bittersweet feeling. Also made me realize Cheryl's literally the only mother figure Elena’s got now. There's no more Lucy and there's no more Vanessa. Just Cheryl. No doubt they're gonna miss each other so much when we eventually move to Switzerland. I can't allow that. I can't separate Elena from the only motherly affection left for her.So I'm gonna have to make arrangements for Cheryl to visit us every month or once every two months. I'll have a private jet to pick her up if I have

Chapter: 211|Have a good lifeVINCEThe expectant knock on my door made me hurriedly finish the glass of whiskey I've been brooding over for minutes. I set the glass down on the tray just as the door slowly opened. Miguel walked inside, bowing. “You asked for me?” “Yes. Uh, have a seat.” He bowed again and settled into one of the seats. I went to mine, settling in smoothly. We sat in silence for seconds, before I could think of the right words to begin this conversation. “I thought we should talk.”He nodded. “What's it about?”“Uh,” God, this is weird. It's not something I've said before. But it has to be said. So...“I just thought I should thank you.”He arched his brow. “What?”Yeah, I was expecting that reaction. “For the years of loyalty and servitude,” I continued, trying to keep my voice firm and pick my words right. “For always having my back and being willing to dive into messes for me. I'm really grateful.”His expression was blank. I was already feeling awkward. I needed him to save my ass but he

Chapter: 210|End of an eraVINCE The arguments between Declan and Leo didn't seem like they were gonna end anytime soon. I'd stayed silent, allowing them to let out the deep pent-up hatred they've got for each other. However, it's taking forever, and I don't have that much time. So yeah, I need to interfere now. “Psst, Leo, that's enough.” I tried calling his attention but the man was lost in his rage. He wasn't sane enough to hear me. Even Richard had gotten exhausted from trying to talk him out of his rage. Don't get me started on Declan who's spewing the dirtiest words in his Vocabulary. I can't tell if he's just unapologetically gutsy or just fucking reckless. Being so flatly rude with Leo in my house is kinda suicidal and he's taking all that risk so fucking boldly. I lost it when they both jumped to their feet ready to throw hands. “I said, that's enough!” I thundered, standing in between them. “The one who throws the first punch will be at risk of losing his fucking arm.”I turned to Leo, making su

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.
“Then what did?” I asked, almost in tears. “Why did you search for me so hard?”
“Because I missed you so much. After that night, I lost my mind. All I could think of was seeing you again."
“Stop. Don't tell me such things,” I said between tears. “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: It's an orderCHUCK Drinking and staring out the window was a Google recommendation on how to clear your head and get rid of intense crankiness. I've been doing that for minutes now, and I don't feel any better. Not even in the slightest. This crankiness wouldn't go away. And then I keep glancing at my phone, hoping she'd call. And she hasn't. Not even a text from her. It's hard to get through the day, waiting for a text or a call that just might never come. And the thought that she might have gone to see her asshole boyfriend has me more stressed than ever. It’s fucking pathetic feeling this way for her. I'd feel more pathetic if I called her first. That's why I'm hesitating to. Even though every bone in me just wants to call and know if she's okay. If her face hurts in the slightest. My chest still burns whenever I recall how hard that bastard hit her. All my life watching her grow up, I've never imagined it was possible to hit her at all. Even yelling at her felt like a crime. So watching i

Chapter: End of a missionLACYI stared blankly at the ceiling, doing a mental count of how much longer I needed to live this disgusting and wretched life before it all came to an end. I'm barely breathing. I'm barely okay. My chest hurts physically. Like I've got a wound in it from the last time Mad Dog thoroughly beat my ass. I'd check myself in a hospital if I could. I'm sure they'd find out I fractured something inside. But I don't have the money to do that. And Mad Dog would never give me the money for that. He wouldn't want me talking to others about the abuse he puts me through. And now, doing this mission for him feels like hell. This has to be the hardest mission I've ever had to do. Because it involves hurting people I've genuinely grown to care about. But I have no choice. I've never had a bloody choice in my life. He's taken all that away from me. And then he took school away from me too. He made me sign that I was never going back.Showing up in Aaliyah's life again with that shitty lie of bei

Chapter: Come save meAALIYAH For the first time, I was angry. Really angry. I was livid. Why does he keep bringing me to places like this? I don't want to sound like a brat, but these places are beneath me. It's about time he starts bringing me to his apartment. Or I won't bother visiting him anymore. No matter how hard he tries to convince and manipulate me into visiting. I will stand my ground. I got inside and approached the receptionist. He didn't send me a room number. So I'll have to ask her. But weirdly, she didn't wait for me to ask. “Second floor. Room 5,” she said with a professional smile. I offered her a forced smile and took the staircase. I got to the door that had the room number and knocked. The door opened, and there he was, shirtless, wearing only pants. Seeing him almost altered the anger and indignation I was feeling earlier. But I quickly reprimanded myself. Don't be stupid, Aaliyah. Don't forget what he did to you. “Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me all day?” he

Chapter: Meet me nowAALIYAH “Well, you can't blame him for defending you the way he did. You guys share an Uncle-Niece bond, right?” Lacy said, knitting on the bed. She's knitting a beanie. She's been at it for days. Barely goes to lectures. I don't understand how she prefers lying around here in this apartment to going to lectures. I've tried convincing her a million times, but she always has the perfect excuse. This time around, she says she needs to finish the beanie before she can follow me to lectures. Makes me wonder how messy her priority list is. It also makes me wonder what happened to her during the holidays. She's never been negligent about her studies. This time, it's like she doesn't care at all. “If you ask me, Chuck did nothing wrong. You have no reason to be mad at him.” She continued her calm defense of Chuck. “I'm not mad at him. I understand perfectly why he defended me. I just feel like he made everything worse.” I replied, sitting up on the bed, hugging a throw pillow, and feeli

Chapter: Falling apartCRISTIAN The workload on my table was nothing compared to the workload I had waiting for me at home. But honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way. I'd rather be a workaholic than be a depressed fucker. I'd rather be buried in these files than have my eyes fixed in the sky, feeling sorry for myself. I'd choose this over that wretched feeling of despair.The door opened, and I glanced in that direction. Gina. It had to be her or the guys. They're the only ones who come into my office unannounced. But then the guys and I haven't been talking much lately. I turn down their invitations to hang out. I make excuses when they ask to visit. It's nothing personal. I really don't feel like socializing. I don't have the energy for it. “Hi, darling.” Gina greeted me in her usual bobbly way, coming towards me. My eyes stayed on the laptop screen. She wrapped a hand around my neck and bent to kiss me on my lips. I did a slight turn of my head and the kiss landed on my cheek. I felt the sudde

Chapter: This can't happenAALIYAH It was morning, and the street was already busy with people going about their day. I was watching from the window. The hotel was a five-story building, and this was the third floor. You could literally see beyond the premises of the hotel. It's exquisitely beautiful too. The suite Chuck was staying in was perfect. But sadly, I couldn't really sleep last night.Chuck stayed out all night. I was alone in his suite. The sheets smelled like him. His cologne lingered everywhere. It tortured me all night. And also the thought of going after my boyfriend scared me the most. Knowing Chuck as much as I did, it wasn't something far from his personality. He'd do anything for the people he loves. His protective side is one reason my Daddy loves him a lot. So yeah, I was worried all night. I know my boyfriend was wrong. But I don't want him having another fight with Chuck. And I don't want him to tell my Daddy either. It won't end well if he does.

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
