I wish I would have acted, I wish I would have never opened my eyes, his towel hung loosely around his hips, his long soft hair was covering his forehead, and his chest bared for my eyes to look at, it was my first time I was looking at him like that with nothing on his body. It felt like the moment stilled, he stilled and everything around us paused. I should have closed my eyes, asked him to leave and come back in clothes but no, I didn't. I stared at him. I ogled. Our eyes locked. Water dripped from his hair to his nose, and lips and mixed with other droplets on his chest. My eyes noticed the extensive scars on his body, they were permanently bruised what kind of fight he would have been into to get them? The tattoos spread all over his torso, some of which were difficult to even make out. His chest was rising and falling in the rhythm making him appear sexier. The more I think about not letting him enter my system the more he was getting himself deeply embedded in my system.Hi
It has been three days since that evening at the graveyard, I thought he'll ask me out for the pending dinner but he was nowhere. No texts or calls. I don't know for what good reasons I was expecting him to contact me. The so-called monster returned from France last night and was organising a dinner for some of his allies at the house. I have been noticing since he returned from France he was working hard. It seems like the blast did him a huge loss, Good for him.I looked at my reflection in the mirror giving myself a final touch. Before you all ask me where I'm heading so let me clear the air. It's not for the filthy bastards who are going to be attending tonight's dinner but for my college as today was Chicago University Annual Alumni Charity Gala. For others, it may seem like a simple charity event but it was one of the best sources to gain news. The news that the newspapers fail to cover. Giving myself a last look of appreciation as after food if something works for men its loo
It was shocking to find that he was an Alumna of this University, the huge ballroom seemed so small in front of him.The thrumming of the music filled the room and his hands were around my waist. The attention of the crowd was on us, it wasn't a dance, it was the devil declaring his possession. Declaring that I belong to him and only him. For others I was swirling around the ballroom with the most dangerously handsome man but only if they knew what it was.It wasn't a normal couple dance it was something else, something more.His free hand grabbed my hand placing it at the back of his neck and his hands rested on my waist. He wasn't holding me like a gentleman. His grip was tightened around me. I should have pushed him away asked him to leave and not treat me like I belong to him but for some reason, his possessiveness thrilled me. It excited me. I was excited to know what he is going to do to me. I was waiting for the danger which comes with him.With the music everything faded, noth
For the next two hours, I avoided him, I made sure that wheresoever he is standing I maintain my distance from him. He was busy talking to a few Congressmen, major mafia CEO or security owners. Of course, he was here doing his business and I was busy doing my own.The first thing I needed to know was how Marcus Amuso managed to fool the monster. The only thing he had been good at has been his business if he made such a big mistake in it then there must be something more.In the past three hours, I gulped almost five glasses of whisky. The burning sensation made me feel light and giddy. I was busy speaking to the Mayor's wife who was a pleasant woman only if she knew her husband was a douchebag, getting his penis in every hole."You have some humour little one," She complimented and I gave her a small smile, "it's nothing, Mrs Colton,""I'll talk to Ryan about your internship in Colton Security," My work was done if I enter the periphery of Colton Security all the important information
Everything was unexpected, the way this night turned into, the fact that he was one of the Alumna of my University. Liam happened, never did I expect that he'll return to my life and him, The Devil; Victor Amuso was standing in front of me."What are you plan-nning to do?" I stuttered, crouching myself in the back seat and his eyes looking at me like a lion looking at his prey, His gaze travelled from my face to my neck and my legs stopping at my mid thigh; I followed his gaze and he was looking at my bare legs. The heat traveled from his gaze to my whole body. My heart beat as it pumped my blood through my veins. The blood rushed to the tips of my fingers, the pulse coming in hot waves causing everything else to pulse.A malicious smile formed on his face and the next moment I knew he was in the back seat making the air more suffocating. His scent filled the air and only our deep breaths were audible. I gulped at the intensity of his gaze and his eyes were on my lips, "I told you it
PART 2Victor's PovI entered my dad's office around two in the morning, there was a dark walnut bookcase lining the entire left-hand wall. The leather sofa with a fur rug over the back and an Indian blanket draped over the arm. The far wall had a large fireplace and mantle dominating the centre, with bookshelves lining it on either side.He rarely calls me and if he did today, it simply means he has some business because Marcus Amuso is a man who only believes in one thing that's profit. On the mantle, two antique clocks and a painting of Leonardo Da Vinci hung elegantly. My dad was seated on his king-side chair busy reading some files, no wonder-working is his favourite hobby, he was tall with grey hair, steel-rimmed spectacles and a still handsome face, "You were looking for me Dad," It was then when he noticed my presence. He didn't even look up to acknowledge my presence. His attention was still on the papers in front of him."Victor, how long you'll take to
The beam of sunlight coming through the curtains woke me up, I stirred on my bed groaning as it felt like I slept fifteen minutes ago and the sun was ready to wake me up. I was a morning person but recently my schedule has been fucked up Reason: Olivia Vitalio Rubbing my eyes, I woke up checking the time. It was nine in the morning, "how did I sleep for so long?"I sat on my bed, all the things that took last night flashing in front of me, how I went to the Alumna gala for business and ended up beating that asshole Olivia's ex-boyfriend Liam. My knuckles burst open because of the last night beating well it wasn't a big deal. I made my way towards the enclosed area which I changed into my gym. For others, it may look like a normal place but it held meaning to me. It was close to my heart. With the passing of time, it became a place where I can escape from all my problems and release my stress. It is not because this place has given me a physical build but the confidence in me tha
Olivia's Pov The constant ringing of my phone woke me up, rubbing my eyes I picked up the call, "hello who is this?" My voice was hoarse because I was in a deep slumber. "Mam, I have found the details of your sister," it took only seconds for my body to come to senses. "I'm listening," I said and he continued, "Mam, we have checked the records and it's correct that you had one and it matched with the report you sent me," "Okay, where are you now?" I asked sitting up in my bed. The sun's rays tried hard to enter the room through the curtains. "I'm at the hospital but there's something more I want to tell you," my ears stood up in attention to hear the piece of info he had for me. "What's that?" I asked looking for my slippers. "Mam, the thing is you two don't share the same father. Your sister's DNA doesn't match with your father," And if someone asks me what it feels to be electrocuted. I knew how it feels. My heartbeat stopped. Stomach twisted. Hands flew to the chest try
