Cherished By the Devil Sister Anna
GREYI opened my eyes and looked at the marvelous creature lying next to me. Poppy had already been sleeping when I returned. Her meeting with the journalists had lasted much longer than she and Cory had expected. The problem was that our observations had also taken a few hours longer.Even now, she was too drained to wake up as I shifted on the bed and pulled her closer. The sun was slowly rising, which meant that I should drag myself out of bed already. So much for our intimate time together. It looked like that would have to wait until the whole operation was over...I pressed a kiss to her temple, and a soft moan escaped her. My lips curled up into a mischievous grin. I wanted to tease her. My fingers itched to slide beneath the covers, between her thighs. I knew I would find her wet. It was as if she were made for me, designed to respond to my touch.I craved her all the time. She was becoming my life essence. More than a few times, I had caught myself daydreaming about that hot
Cherished By the Devil The Meeting
I was standing in the center of a warehouse Grey had bought for our operation. Cory and I had our equipment set on a few tables. We would surely need it to prove to the reporters that our claims had been true.Leo and eight other soldiers guarded the exits; a few others patrolled outside, constantly examining every alley half a mile around the warehouse. I heard Leo talking on the phone with someone. A moment later, he walked toward Cory and me. “The reporters are coming,” he said. “The first two were already checked by the gates. They should be here in about a minute.”“Thanks.” I blew out a breath and rolled back my shoulders. “So we're about to begin.” I glanced at Cory.“Don't worry.” He patted my shoulder. “If they refuse to work with us, that will only mean that they're morons.”I smiled wryly. “But being a moron might cost them their lives, the lives we'd be responsible for since we invited them here.”A nervous laugh escaped him. “Then we should hope our intuition was right.”
Cherished By the Devil Back in Chicago
POPPYI couldn't stop my body from shaking as I entered Grey's private jet. Ardian had his own plane, too, but he would have never taken me anywhere outside Chicago. For years, Chicago had kind of become my prison. Now I was going back to the city I'd escaped from.“Relax, Sunshine,” Grey murmured, grabbing my hand as I took a seat next to his. “You will be completely safe there. Leo will make sure of that.”I loosened a breath and nodded. I had met Grey's commander the day before. He resembled a kind giant. I could easily picture people fleeing away from him because of his powerful looks, but he'd turned out to be a true gentleman, a definitely nicer person than Lanzo. Grey had kind of assigned him as my personal bodyguard, which was a good thing, but he had mainly done it because he knew that Lanzo and he would have to soon return to New York, while I would need to stay a little longer…The plane took off, and my heart began to hammer. I couldn't help it. No matter how many times I
Cherished By the Devil The Plan
“And you just decided to trust her?!” Lanzo threw his hands up and started pacing around my office.I pinched the bridge of my nose. “She knows that it's the only way she can save her son… or end his suffering.”“And yet she chose to believe Valentino before. She told him our secrets,” Lanzo stated dryly. “What makes you think she will suddenly trust us to rescue the boy?”“She told them a few not-that-important pieces of information, and only because she panicked,” I reasoned. “Those fuckers sent her a video of her kid, along with a whole album of pictures of him as he'd been growing up while being tortured for years.”Lanzo worked his jaw, then blew out a breath. “Damn… That must have been a blow.”“She made herself believe she did the right thing back then,” I told him. “She called herself unsuitable to be a mother, and the only way she could live without guilt was knowing that her kid was safe. It turned out they'd tricked her twenty years ago, and now she was too devastated to se
Cherished By the Devil Interrogation
GREYMy stomach had been churning for hours. Today was the day of Abigail's interrogation. So far, we had found three employees who needed further observations, and I hoped that Abigail wouldn't have to join them.The specific kind of truth serum we had been using was efficient, but it left the mind clouded. It was good to verify simple truths, answers yes or no, or choosing one from a few options, but not to get more specific information.For now, we didn't lock anyone up. We wanted them to believe they had passed the test. We wanted them to continue doing what they had been doing, so we could learn how they communicate and then catch them red-handed. It was an annoying process that required time we didn't have, but this was also our only option.A knock on the door sounded, and I knew exactly who it was. “Come in, Poppy,” I called out, leaning back in my seat.Today, I hadn't gone to the company. I had spent the day in the mansion, mentally preparing for what needed to be done. I ha
Cherished By the Devil A Hard Task
POPPYI opened my eyes and found Grey sitting on my side of the bed. He was fully dressed, as if he were ready to leave, which made me wonder how long I had slept. “What time is it?” I croaked.“It's almost six thirty.” His lips formed a faint smile. “I didn't mean to wake you up. You should sleep more.”I frowned. “Have you been sleeping at all?”He nodded. “I did.”I glanced at his side of the bed. The sheets were slightly crumpled, but I doubted he had slept long enough. “You were analyzing everything that happened at Tavolo Verde with Lanzo through most of the night, weren't you?”He cleared his throat, then grabbed my hand and kissed the sensitive skin on my wrist. “I had to. Someone leaked the information about you and our security, and I won't allow it to happen again. We have to find out who it was. So the next few days might be quite frantic.”My chest tightened. “I won't be able to see you…”He shifted his grip on my hand, intertwining our fingers. “I don't want to leave you
Cherished By the Devil More Questions
POPPYMy heart pounded wildly long after we'd left the Rossa Di Ferro. I knew I should have been proud of myself, but the adrenaline buzzing in my veins kept me too agitated to truly savor that feeling.Luca, our driver, swiftly maneuvered the Bentley through the road, taking us back to the mansion
Cherished By the Devil Payback
GREYI stood by the door watching Poppy sit behind Giulio Rinaldi's desk and open his laptop. A smirk pulled at my lips. Giulio truly was an idiot. He couldn't even install a decent alarm in his office inside this hotel. This might not have been his main office on the top floor of Rinaldi Real Esta
Cherished By the Devil Let Them Watch
Tension pooled throughout my body within a second. A knot formed in my throat, and all I did was stare at the man who had reminded me of Ardian in the worst way. Heat rushed to my neck and face, making me brutally realize that he hadn't been wrong, not entirely. Grey had bought me for five million,
Cherished By the Devil Showtime
I was standing in front of the body-length mirror, staring at my reflection. When Abigail had brought that gown for me, I'd hesitated, wondering if I should wear it. My old habits had kicked in, forcing me to look for anything that had made me look more… angelic. Ardian had always made me dress in b
