Chapter: Chapter 255: Tear His Clothes Off"My parents died in a car accident years ago, so there is just me, Debby, and my three brothers. They all know. Jett told them. Since he got injured on the last mission, he did not have much of a choice. I think they are all trying to get information from different sources. I could not wait any longer. I came to ask Marcus to help when we kept hitting obstacles from conventional methods. I did not realize he had never told anyone but Blake about PRO. Pretty much all of their covers were exposed." "Only to some of the governments," Christine responded. "Basically the very people they did not want to know about them. Our government did not leak the information to the public, so Marcus did not have to tell Aileen or the rest of the family." I thought about how worried this woman probably was about her husband, and I felt guilty. "I am sorry. Really, none of the Roberts family should have had to get involved." "I do not blame you," Christine replied in a quiet voice. "If I had a siblin

Chapter: Chapter 254: The Unlikely Pair Of Lovers I knew the former Special Forces Roberts brother had married a previous FBI agent. My brother, Jett, kept me updated on Roberts family news since he had been a teammate of Marcus's for several years. He had mentioned the unlikely pair of lovers once or twice. "I am Sophia Bennett. My sister is the reason your husband is not home right now." Christine nodded toward the cabin. "Come in, please. I will get you something warm to drink. You look like you are freezing." She turned and gestured for the dog to go back to the house, and I followed her. We were settled into the large but welcoming cabin before she spoke again while she was making coffee. Not knowing what else to do, I sat at the table in the small dining area. "I am sorry about your sister," Christine said kindly. "It is terrible when an innocent person gets caught up in the madness of the world." I sighed. "Your brother in law, Marcus, said that Debby knew what she was getting into, and she knew the dangers. He was corre

Chapter: Chapter 253: Thinking With My Broken Heart SOPHIA Still feeling confused and worried, I had grabbed my jacket and put on a pair of hiking boots not long after Blake left my room, needing to be somewhere that I did not feel trapped with my own thoughts. Unfortunately, I had not been able to escape my mind, and I was just as anxious several hours later, even after I felt like I had walked for miles. I was an experienced hiker, but I realized that I had thrown every rule of hiking and navigation out the window as I had walked in a daze, paying no attention to anything except my internal thoughts. Damn it. I finally became aware of where I was, and eyed the snow that was still on the ground. Spring was coming, but it had not arrived yet, and I was cold, following a path that seemed like it led nowhere. Pine trees lined the concrete road, and I kept moving when I saw smoke in the distance, quite certain it was someone's fireplace, so there had to be people ahead. I kept moving. Even after hours of thought, I was not any clo

Chapter: Chapter 252: Pin Her Against The Wall I smiled at her. "I still consider myself the luckiest bastard on the planet to have been your first." "I am glad it was you," she said in a serious tone. I could not say that Sophia was the only woman I had ever been with. I had been a horny young man before I met her, but I could say being with her had deeply changed me. After Sophia, and the way I had felt with her, no woman could ever touch my soul in the same way. Jealous emotions seized my heart, squeezing it like a clamp as I thought about Sophia being with any other man. It did not matter if thirteen years had gone by without me seeing her. What was it that made me feel like she belonged to me just because I had once made her scream and tremble in a powerful release? Seeing her again was making me lose my fucking mind. I stood up suddenly, worried that I could not control my primal instincts to drag Sophia away as my very delayed reward. I was a respected public servant, and all I could think about was getting Sophia na

Chapter: Chapter 251: Half Naked In My ShirtSOPHIA I could hear the fear in my voice, a doubt that was not typical for me. His gray eyes grew darker. "They will try everything they have to extract her if she is still alive." That was the possible truth I did not want to speak, the one thing I could not accept. "She cannot be dead." I said the words because I desperately wanted them to be true. Blake stood and came to sit beside me, pulling me into his arms as though it was completely natural for him. "I hope she is not." The comforting tone of his voice finally made me break down. I had worried for weeks, wondering if Debby was still alive. The stress fracture in my heart finally split completely open, and I cried. BLAKE I felt fucking helpless because all I could truly do was hold Sophia in my arms as she sobbed out every bit of fear she had kept inside about her sister's safety. I could not promise her that Debby was still alive. The international correspondent was in a world where nobody would care if she was behead

Chapter: Chapter 250: Other Priorities A single tear fell onto my cheek, and I grieved for what could have been if I had not been so fast to make assumptions, or if I had answered his call just once. I knew I could not have a serious relationship with him, but maybe we could have been friends. Maybe the resentment between us would have been resolved years ago. "I do not know what to say." "Do not say you are sorry again," he requested. "You have nothing to be sorry about. I did not realize until Marcus told me what you had said to him that you had seen him with somebody else. It would have hurt me back then. I am sure it was painful for you." I nodded as I wiped the tear from my face. "It did. I suppose it was because you were my first." "You will never know how much that meant to me, or how much it destroyed me that you would not speak to me again," he answered in a low, rough voice. "I wanted it to be you," I said in a voice that was barely audible. "I knew the feelings were right. I never regretted it, Blake." "Ev

Chapter: A Promise In Blood MILENE'S POV I held Micheal’s gaze, determined to keep my pride no matter what. Women were made to endure pain. If these men could face it, so could I. Nicolas stepped in front of me again. “If you don’t choose, I’ll decide for you,” he said, his eyes telling me he thought he already knew my choice. To him, I was just a weak, insignificant woman. I smiled, my voice steady. “I’d rather feel the cold steel of your blade than have your filthy hands touch me, Nicolas Russo.” For a moment, his eyes flashed with something unexpected, surprise, respect, and a terrifying look of excitement. “I’m going to enjoy hearing you scream,” he said. “Nicolas, that’s enough,” Dante ordered. Nicolas didn’t even look at him. He kept his eyes on me. . “We’re just getting started,” he murmured. Without warning, he grabbed me, spun me around, and yanked me back against his chest. His body pressed against mine. His hand gripped my chin, tilting my head back so I was forced to look up at him. He w

Chapter: Let The Games Begin MILENE'S POVEven the next morning, the pizza felt heavy in my stomach. At least now, my nerves were on edge for a different reason than fear. I thought about eating another piece for breakfast. I needed all the energy I could get to figure out how to outsmart Nicolas. Even though I’d been sheltered, I knew Nicolas wouldn’t arrange a video call with my family unless he had something terrible to show them. I barely slept last night. Nicolas hadn’t locked my door when he left, but I didn’t try to leave. I was afraid it might be a trap. I was still too shaken to think of an escape plan that would actually work. I put on the satin nightgown, even though it felt like giving Nicolas a small win. But I knew I had to pick my battles wisely if I wanted to survive. When I heard footsteps outside the door, my body tensed. I stood up from the bed, ready to face Nicolas. But instead of him, Luca Russo came into the room. His brown eyes moved over me, and I wrapped my arms over my chest befor

Chapter: She's Not Yours NICOLAS'S POV I left the room, wanting her to think about what I said. Damien was waiting in the hallway as I shut the door behind me. I glanced at him as I walked past. “Did the pizza get here?” Damien followed me closely, then grabbed my shoulder. “What kind of video are you planning to make tomorrow?” I studied him, trying to figure out what he was feeling, but as usual, his expression gave nothing away. “I’ll give her a choice.” Damien shook his head, clearly unhappy. “This girl is innocent. She’s not someone who owes money. She’s not a thief or someone who’s done something wrong. She hasn’t done anything to deserve this.” “Kiara has softened you.” “Not about things like this. We’ve never gone after people who didn’t deserve it, Nicolas. We’ve never hurt anyone innocent, and this woman has done nothing to earn the kind of choice you’re talking about.” I gave him a look. “You know me better than anyone else,” I said quietly. “And yet here we are.” Damien tilted his h

Chapter: Let The Games Begin NICOLAS'S POV This little bird seemed desperate to get out of my cage, only to end up flying right into Daniel’s. Her eyes and face still showed traces of her earlier panic, but she lifted her chin and narrowed her eyes at me. She was trying to act tough, like she could play with the big boys. I walked into the room slowly. Her shoulders straightened in a show of defiance, but her hand clutched the sheet around her body, fingers shaking against the red fabric. My eyes stayed on her as I placed the clothes on the bed. Her sweet scent drifted toward me, faint but noticeable. It smelled like vanilla, as if she’d been prepared for her wedding night. My nostrils flared. “Trying to escape my cage, little bird?” She shot me a sharp look. “You seem to like birds a lot.” “I enjoy breaking them.” Her lip curled slightly, but even then, she was beautiful. I could guess what she was thinking that I was the kind of man who tortured small animals for fun. “I’m not that kind of monster,”

Chapter: The Escape Attempt I asked weakly. “Why not let him start whatever torture you have planned? Why bring me here, to your mansion?” Nicolas’s eyes studied me, as if he didn’t fully know the answer himself. His silence confirmed my suspicion, this was his family’s mansion. It surprised me that he would risk bringing me here. “Like you said,” he finally replied, “I’ll be the one to make you scream. No one else.” He closed the door behind him. I shut my eyes and pulled the blanket tightly around me. This was a power game. A cruel game of chess. But I wouldn’t be a pawn. I wouldn’t even be the queen. And Nicolas would never be my king. NICOLAS'S POV I grabbed a pair of sweatpants before heading downstairs to our game room, where Luca, Damien, and Liam were sitting. Ever since Kiara joined our family, my days of walking around the house naked whenever I wanted were over. My brothers looked at me like I was about to explode. I smiled at them. Liam shook his head but didn’t say anything. It was clear

Chapter: The Angel And The DevilMILENE'S POV My trembling hand rested on the smooth sheet, the white of my skin standing out against the red. I shivered and started breathing too fast again. Nicolas sat down on the bed beside me, making it sink under his weight. He wore nothing except a knife holster strapped across his chest. His muscles and scars spoke of strength and danger. I looked away, my teeth chattering. Nicolas reached toward me. “Don’t,” I said weakly, then more firmly, “Don’t touch me.” His dark eyes locked on mine, his gaze full of meaning. He leaned closer until his face was all I could see. “After everything you’ve seen me do today, you still dare to defy me? Don’t you think giving in to me would make things easier for you?” His voice was calm and soft, almost like he was curious. “Yes,” I whispered. His eyes flickered, as if he were disappointed. “But I would rather feel pain than give in to you, Nicolas.” He smiled, his expression dark. He reached over me again, and before I could react,
