A Prey For My Enemy courtroom
ScarletThe courtroom smelled like piss, polished wood, and broken dreams.Scarlet O’Brien sat ramrod straight in the front row, nails digging bloody crescents into her palms as the judge slammed the gavel down like a fucking executioner.“Ronald O’Brien, you are hereby sentenced to twenty-five years in maximum security…”The rest of the words drowned in the roaring in her ears.Her father — the man who had built an empire with nothing but ruthless intelligence and callused hands — stood there in handcuffs, shoulders squared, eyes locked on her. Not on his sobbing wife. Not on his trembling youngest daughter.The message was clear: You’re in charge now.The empire was already gutted. Three board members had “resigned” in the last month. Key contracts vanished overnight. Suppliers suddenly couldn’t deliver. Someone had opened the veins of O’Brien Consolidated and let it bleed out while smiling at them during galas.And everyone knew who was behind it.The Williams family.Scarlet’s gaz
A Prey For My Enemy Dead End
-Tatiana- I turned my head just enough to meet his eyes. “What about your contact? Any luck finding out why the police think I committed the crime?”“No.” Julian’s voice became even more serious now. “Because of the position your father held before his demise, the case is labelled classified. My guy hit a wall immediately.”“I didn’t even get to bury them,” I murmured as my heart ached further. “I wonder What happened to the house?”I hadn’t had the courage to ask since Julian joined me in this strange captivity. Every time the thought of my parents surfaced, my eyes would sting. I blinked hard and looked out the window instead.I really want to hate you, Kain. I deserve to.We reached the club entrance and none of the cars tailing us peeled off. They’d probably been given orders to park and shadow every move I made tonight.Julian helped me out of the car with a hand on my lower back, playing the part of attentive date really well.One of the things that drew me to him the first tim
A Prey For My Enemy Birthday Favors
-Tatiana-I adjusted the strap of the too-short dress for the third time and stared at my reflection. The girl looking back had flushed cheeks and clear eyes.A month ago I would’ve used this night to run. It's not to late though, to slip something into a drink, steal a car key and disappear. But I was shaving my legs for a man who altered my life completely.The days here had blur into domestic little routines. I didn’t even know what I was doing anymore. Liking him felt like betrayal. Forgetting felt worse.The cool night air brushed my bare legs as I stepped toward the waiting car. Kain stood by the open door, his gaze moved over me, taking my the dress, the heels, the way I’d done my hair like I actually cared.“Behave,” he said quietly. “Don’t get any crazy ideas.”I knew exactly what he meant but it just might be too late to warn me. Crazy ideas were my forte.I smiled anyway, showing all my teeth. “I’ll do my best.”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t stop me. I slid into the ba
A Prey For My Enemy Brother Dearest
-Tatiana-“Something smells good. You cooking for me again, brother dearest?” I slid onto the stool at the kitchen island, letting my bare legs cross slowly. Kain’s knife paused mid-chop, just for a second.“You’re not my sister,” he said, calmly.“Step-sister,” I corrected, leaning forward just enough that my top shifted to expose my chest. “Or did you want me to try something else? Daddy has a nice ring to it.”The knife came down harder than necessary. The sharp crack echoed off the marble. “I’m not playing tonight, Tatiana.”I smiled and reached over, stealing a slice of carrot from his board. It crunched loud between my teeth. “Still sulking about the dress? I had every reason to think Julian sent it. You didn’t put your name on the card, Kain. Rookie mistake for an admirer.”"you think too highly of yourself sweetheart. I got you the dress as an apology for making you cry. don't read too much into it." He kept his back to me, shoulders tight under the dark shirt as he spoke."A
A Prey For My Enemy Birthday Dress
–Tatiana –The sheets carried his scent, that darker edge that always seemed to cling to him. I sat up, shoved my hair back, and stared at the empty space beside me. He must have carried me here after I’d fallen asleep reading to him on the sofa. Again.Perfect. Nothing says “I have my shit together” like getting tucked in by the man you’re supposed to keep at arm’s length.I needed water. My throat was raw, my head fuzzy. I swung my legs out and padded barefoot toward the kitchen, the silk nightdress whispering against my thighs with every step.Halfway down the hall, I heard him humming in a relaxed tone. Kain? And boy he sings. The sound wrapped around the corner. I stopped, one hand pressed to the wall, listening. I’d never heard him do that. It felt oddly intimate, like catching him without armor.I stepped into the kitchen.He stood at the counter, his back to me, pouring coffee. The hum continued for another second, easy and warm, before he turned.The smile that hit his face
A Prey For My Enemy Stay
-Tatiana-I didn’t expect him to come back for me.I was curled up in bed with my book, and now Kain was standing in the doorway like a man who’d just clawed his way out of hell. His eyes found mine across the dark room, raw in a way that made my stomach tighten.“I didn’t mean to make you cry earlier,” he said, voice low.“You are not worth my tears.” I swiped at the last of the stupid tears and sat up fast, silk slipping higher on my thighs. His gaze dropped there and heat crawled up my neck.“You have no idea what you saw,” he continued. “Sonya is dead.”That was all he gave me. No explanation, I was sure pushing would get me nowhere. Fine. I didn’t want his secrets anyway.“You don’t have to explain,” I said, lifting my chin. “It’s none of my business.”His jaw flexed. Stubborn bastard. Before I could brace myself he crossed the room in three strides and scooped me up. One arm under my knees, the other behind my back, pulling me tight against his chest.“Kain?”He didn’t answer
