Cherished By the Devil Daring
Abigail had been right about bringing me to her favorite spa. It helped me relax, efficiently soothing my restlessness. After four hours of massages, saunas, and aromatherapy, I began to question whether the man I'd seen had been truly Ardian. There hadn't been any guards around him, and he never went anywhere without them. So could it be my paranoia? Maybe I had only seen what my fears had dictated…“See? I told you it'd work wonders.” Abigail chuckled as we were heading back to the mansion.I sighed and smiled at her. “Yes, you were right.”She laughed. “Glad you agree.”I twisted in my seat, turning toward her. “Now, can you tell me about Grey's schedule for tomorrow?”She nodded. “Well… he should be done with all his meetings at two, but I'm quite certain he'll have at least one conference call later.”A wicked smile curved my lips. “Even better.”She held my gaze for a moment, then laughed. “I like your new confidence.”“Yeah…” My smile widened. “I like it, too.”***Grey had sle
Cherished By the Devil Rising Fear
POPPYGrey had been busy lately. He'd been either coming home late at night or sleeping in his Manhattan office. I'd wanted to know what had happened, but he'd kept telling me not to worry. Yet I had felt the tense atmosphere slowly filling the entire mansion. I had known that Lanzo had been recruiting new soldiers lately. Something was about to happen, and Grey was keeping secrets from me. Again.“I'm not leaving this office until you tell me what the hell is going on,” I demanded, folding my arms across my chest.Grey leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh. “Nothing bad has happened yet, but we want to be prepared for just about anything.”I stepped closer and leaned over his desk. “And you're preparing for… what exactly?”“Poppy…” He fixed his eyes on mine. “Lanzo's spies saw something, but it's quiet now. I didn't want to raise false alarms.”“I'm not a fragile doll,” I reminded him. “I won't break if you tell me even the worst kind of news.”He rose to his feet and stepp
Cherished By the Devil Complications
GREYI had watched the recording Poppy had found eight times already. I had memorized nearly every word and every pause. I had studied the way Foster's pupils widened as the old emotions had come alive once more. I believed him. This wasn't his illness talking. I just knew that those memories were real.Lanzo had watched it, too, and he'd come to the same conclusion: Foster had revealed details of Armando Valentino's assassination. But what he had said gave us far more information than we'd expected…“This can't be a coincidence.” Lanzo looked at me from where he sat on the sofa.I took my cup of coffee and walked to an armchair, sitting in front of him. “That we can agree on.”“This is exactly what Sala said—a wealthy Italian family that died in a car accident,” he recalled. “He even mentioned that their name started with a V.”I tilted my head, resting it on the back of my seat. “Armando begged Foster to protect his little girl, but the reporter thought he was doing the right thing
Cherished By the Devil The Diary
POPPYGrey had given me the memory card he'd found in Mr. Foster's toilet tank. We all had hoped that it would contain something truly valuable, but so far it had turned out to be a major disappointment. Cory and I had spent more than ten hours working on Mr. Foster's case, and the more we found, the more our moods worsened, and not even coffee and sweets brought by Abigail helped lessen the gloominess and tension.“Schizophrenia?” Abigail's eyes widened as I shared Cory's and my latest discovery.I leaned back on the sofa and sighed. “We got to his medical records. He was diagnosed seven years ago, but it had probably developed much earlier.”She frowned. “So what does it mean?”“It means that we can't be certain that what he wrote in that article about Valentinos' accident was even real,” Cory chimed in.“Still, we hope that he got at least that one right.” I smiled wryly.She took a sip of her coffee and shook her head. “That's truly disappointing.”“It is,” I agreed.She put down
Cherished By the Devil Her Reason
GREYI had been trying to avoid any interactions with the police throughout most of my life for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, in rare circumstances, calling the police was necessary, and this definitely was such a case.“Are you all right?” I wrapped my arm around Poppy's waist and pulled her toward me. “If you feel sick or anything—”“It's not the first dead body I've seen, Grey,” she murmured, but her hands wrapped around me. She buried her face in my chest, breathing deeply. “I just… really hoped he was alive.”“Yeah…” I kissed the top of her head. “Me too.”We were standing by my car, still parked on Foster's driveway, waiting for the police to arrive. The mansions we had passed earlier had cameras turned to the road, and the last thing I wanted was another cop with a theory linking me to the ex-reporter's death.“Do you think he really committed suicide?” Poppy whispered.“I think that someone killed him,” I said, wrapping my arms tighter around her. “His nails seemed bloodied.
Cherished By the Devil Investigation
Grey and Lanzo sat on the sofa while I walked to the screen they had set in Grey's office. My cheeks were still coated with a thick layer of redness after what had happened in the main hall, and the smug smirk on Grey's face certainly wasn't helping me calm down. I was beginning to think about a sweet form of payback, but now I had to concentrate on my presentation.I stepped to the small table with a laptop connected to the screen and opened the first file. Gaspare Valentino's family photo appeared. “There's not much information about the Valentino family. Cory and I gathered everything we could,” I started before clearing my throat and turning to the screen. “Most of the Valentino family lives in Sicily. Two of his cousins live in Venice. Gaspare has a wife, Mirabella, and a twenty-seven-year-old son, Renzo. Gaspare controls all the family wealth. He decides who gets shares in which company. Recently, however, three of their companies went bankrupt, and now Gaspare was forced to sel
