LOGINARIELLA Luca laughed as he shook his head. “ It's not that big of a deal. We’ll find another reason, instead of the truth,” he said. “We could say she’s too young. Or that Leon is too… enamoured with her.” I couldn’t help the small smile. “As I told you,” he added, “Luca doesn’t even want her wo
ARIELLA Asher shook his head. “Nothing to be concerned about. Just family drama between him and his sister. You know how siblings can be.” I gave a small, humourless smile. “I wouldn’t know. I never had any.” He looked at me. “You’re lucky. You were an only child.” “I never thought so,” I sai
ARIELLA Leon wouldn’t shut up about Sia. He was telling everyone, at every single moment, as if they hadn’t already heard. Margaret, of course, mentioned she had cooked for Luca and Sia's parents when they visited the Don, but she didn’t know Sia that well. So, during lunch, I turned to Maria. “
ARIELLA “She is Luca’s sister. Sia. She’s really good with kids, apart from her job at the elementary school, she also teaches Sunday school. I won’t say much more, you’ll learn the rest from her. But she’s a nice girl. She used to come to the house with Luca when he visited with his parents.” I n
ARIELLA I leaned slightly against the wall. “I think when he first got here, everything distracted him. The house, the change… everything. But I know eventually that won’t be enough.” Maria nodded. “It’s good you’re giving him something stable.” “Exactly.” She smiled. “Alright. I’ll let you go

I go back into Dad’s office. Head straight for the safe. I kneel down, press the familiar numbers, and it clicks open. Same passcode. Same stacks. Still there. Not enough for four people. Maybe not even enough for three if we’re being smart. But for one? It’s more than enough. Now comes the hard
“Oh my God, no!” I cried, horrified. “I don’t want you dead! I’ve never wanted you dead. Where is all of this even coming from?” “You know where it’s coming from,” he snapped. “You and your towel. Always so quick to get close to men.” And then he stopped himself. For a moment, silence. Then his e
Asher My fingers slid over her clit as I sunk into her in deep controlled strokes over and over again. I wanted my prize, wanted to force it from her quivering body, wanted her to surrender. Her tight walls clamped around my cock as she came under me. I closed my lips over the perfect skin at he
I was scared. Terrified of what Asher might do once he got to me. Would he break down the door? Did he have a spare key? Oh my God....did he have a spare key to the bathroom? What am I even thinking? What is this? What am I doing? Panic coils in my chest. I glance at the door....it’s wood. Thick,
