“Who are we even talking about?” I asked, even if I already knew the answer.“I was never told he had a family and I didn't think to check. Only a bunch of men were there and it was no task for me, so I took my sweet time torturing and relaying my anger on each of them. I even took the liberty of ta

Russel stood there, with his back against me, the darkness emanating from him enough to tell me all I needed to know. Maybe if this was three weeks ago, I would have run off in the opposite direction. But having grown to learn that he was not always a monster, he just let that side of him show when
Chapter 88ALESSIA~~~°~~~I woke up started, my eyes hazy and my entire body feeling like I had been run over by a whole train the night before. I leaned against the headrest and allowed myself a moment before finally opening my eyes. Last night, I had the most terrifying nightmare. I sighed, but
Fuck, Allesia, you're so fucking stupid! “So this is it?” I asked with a cracked voice. He took another drag at his cigarette and nodded without hesitation, “Indeed, it is.” I covered my mouth with my palm as soon as he said that, the urge to double over on the floor suddenly overwhelming me, “Bu

Like Nikolai, he vehemently opposed it at first, but after I put him through the advantages, he had to agree with me. Although the only part he hated was the part where I had to hurt Allesia the way I did, that

I watched as Vincenzo Mancini stepped down from the private jet. Dressed in a sleek, custom-tailored Italian suit, he took a minute to adjust his tie and cufflinks. The handsome bastard, I thought with a proud grin, ever so cold. It was past 10PM, but Vincenzo had no intentions of staying the nig

EPILOGUE RUSSEL ~~~0~~~ I stood perfectly still, my thoughts reeling as I waited in the quiet hall of the warehouse. During my absence, Stacy had refused to speak, see, or let anyone touch her. Even Kegan, who was supposed to order a pregnancy test done for her by now, couldn’t do that because
