LAURA POVSix pairs of eyes glared back at me intently, as everyone waited patiently to hear what I had to say to hear just what I had to say. The whole room was in golden silence and I could literally hear the rapid drumming of my heart in my ears. The atmosphere was so repressive that I felt like I was a docile, meek, and defenselessly small prey among a group of beastly predators. I opened my mouth to say something, but words seemed to be stuck below the giant lump in my throat because all I wanted to do was give a brief explanation without sounding a tad bit afraid or even scared, I mean be a badass and shit.But instead, a squeal that resembled one of a mouse that just got its foot clamped by a trap wrenched itself from my mouth. I wasn’t entirely sure if humans were species that knew all the hidden dimensions of fear, but right at that moment, with me under their penetrating watchful gazes, I felt like I was going to pee, or rather, the solid ground beneath my feet could split

SCAR POV4 DAYS.It’s all it took for me to gather all there was to know on the assignment and to really get to know the woman I was tied down to. For these four days, I have come to know that she was more than she let herself be, so I took my sweet time, silently watching her and peeling off all the layers that made her who she was, one by one, just like shredding off the layers of an onion. I tell you, there were a lot, and right then, I figured that she held a sense of mystery that just pulled me in.The first day was pretty much uneventful, except I had to down a whole bottle of ibuprofen as soon as I got home because my ears were literally ringing, from her unending chattering. I swear her mouth never dried up, like, not ever, and she always managed to have something to say about anything. Be it a person on the sidewalks, a pole, or a streetlight, Laura would have a comment about that certain thing. For someone to pay that kind of close attention to even the smallest of details, i

LEIGH-ARI POV“You bitch! You set me up!”Laura screamed lunging for a pillow and then bashed my head with it. I fell to the carpeted floor laughing out so much that my ribs were beginning to hurt. Shielding my head from her assault, I peeked from the edge of the bed to find her chewing on her nails while staring at the pile of clothes in front of her, deciding what to put on. We have been in here for four hours and even missed dinner because she was having a hard time believing that she was invited for a midnight stroll. Whenever she remembered that she was in this situation only because I couldn't keep my mouth shut and told my men who deemed it necessary to match-make them, she went ballistic.And honestly, it was kind of fun. Someone was literally having butterflies in her belly with the thought of what was going to happen tonight. The anticipation burned through her body and it was written all over her face that she was a nervous wreck.“Hate me all you want, babe. You do know y

LEIGH-ARI POVGoodness me!My vagina is burning!I thought to myself as I slipped in my white dress pants and then zipped them on my side. No cap, I was going commando today! Every move I made, every little step I took, I could still feel them plundering deep inside of me with sheer abundance. If there was ever a time they gave me all they had, without holding back even slightly, it was last night. I was sore in all the right places and heck, I needed a damn break!I pulled over my white thin blouse and then chuckled at the sight of millions of hickeys that were all over my body, from my neck, down to my belly. I turned to look at my back and it was just the same. Deep red spots and some teeth marks. I seriously needed a long break from them. After everything they did last night, I was going to split into two if they ever asked for some again. I finished up dressing with a little hum, I don't know what it is about sex and making someone be in bloody positive dispositions. But I was.

VERNERO POV I would be lying if I said I knew how we arrived in Glendale.The last thing I remember was me and the guys sitting in the office when the alarm went off. It was the signal from the device we planted on Ari’s car in case of any emergencies. If she over sped, or she was in any kind of danger, the device would instantly send the signals to our phones wherever we are.So when it went off, everything became blurry.But when we arrived at Glendale Community hall, all I could see was nothing but flames, all over Leigh-Ari’s car. It was complete chaos. “These she is.” Xander spotted her among a group of women who were standing by the sidewalks watching as the whole car dissolved into raging flames. She was on her knees and I couldn’t hear anything, except her pained scream as she cried out loudly, screaming 'Laura' over and over again. Her eyes were clued to the burning car.We were by her side in an instant and then pulled her up

AVA POVI couldn’t stand still. It was as if the whole room had needles everywhere and they were pricking me whenever I tried to sit down. I paced up and down in my bedroom to the point where I felt dizzy. I watched as everyone raced around the house as soon as the big 3 arrived, carrying a limp Leigh-Ari. My heart was in my throat by then, and I kept on picking on my nails as I waited for the storm to curb. At least that way I will be able to think.Suddenly, the door burst open tearing a yelp out of me. I turned to find Scar standing there, looking like Lucifer in all his glory, and glaring dangerously at me. I tried reading him, tried to find what he was thinking in his mind as he stared at me with the greatest animosity, all I could see was pain and anger etched across his face boldly. But mostly, pain that knew no bounds. He knew! Of course, he knew before everyone else did.“Ava?” It came out as a roar. But he was my brother, and I knew it intimately that he didn’t mean to sta

LEIGH-ARI POVI have led a life of misery and pain for as long as I could remember. I had my most precious things stolen from me and was never given a chance to live for myself from the get-go. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night screaming because life has been such a son of a bitch to me, abusing me and mistreating me so badly that at times, I believed I had a deadly curse following me around wherever I went to.But I still had things to be grateful for. Amidst the pain of loss and heavy grief, heady self-pity, and hatred, I had found love among the small circle I was blessed with. People who accepted me despite my obvious flaws, knowing damn well that they may not come out alive as long as they stayed close to me, but they stuck around nonetheless. Their presence made the pain all worth it, and with them, I knew I could recover from any kind of pain! BUT THIS…When I woke up, I was no longer in Glendale, but in Beverly Hills inside my bedroom. ALONE! I sat in utter silen

XANDER POVI have experienced loss before.I have seen what it does to someone, to the heart, and to the soul. I have seen people losing themselves inside the deep abyss of grief and pain, wondering if they will ever get back to their old selves without the missing piece of their lives. I have seen how grief tears them to shreds and leaves their souls to bleed.But in a history of grief, I have never seen pain so raw and cruel.I was watching from the front row when Leigh-Ari recovered from losing her unborn baby. She spiraled down the abyss of control where she tried, by all means, to keep her head above water because she was afraid that if she let it slip, for a split second, if she let go of that control she had in her grasp, she was going to break. I watched as she clung to the only things in front of her, then built herself until she was this giant badass bitch on top of the world. A phoenix rising from the deep black and cold ashes. I saw how she handled the pain that was infli
