You only realize how lucky you are, when you have experienced something horrifying or a remarkably narrow escape. The screech of tires fills the air as our two vehicles collide in a violent crash. Glass shatters and metal crunches as my car is struck by a black SUV. Slamming into my tailgate, my eyes wide in shock as I grip the steering wheel. My vehicle starts to spin out of control as I fight hard to keep it on the road. With a sickening jolt, my car slams into a nearby pole, sending shards of glass and twisted metal flying through the air. The impact is so powerful that it knocks me unconscious, leaving me slumped over the steering wheel. The smell of gasoline fills the air, and smoke begins to rise from the engine. “Lilly-Ann!!” The hysterical cry of my sister’s voice, shook me awake. “Lilly-Ann!!, please Lord let my sister be okay,” she cries out. The black SUV driver’s face obscured by the tinted windows as he quickly realizes the gravity of the situation. He makes a split-se

The air between us is thick with electrical, sexual tension. A jolt of electricity runs down my spine as my cheeks heat up, aroused only by his presence. His forest green eyes locked on mine as they draw me in, I can get lost in those eyes.He stands a few feet from me, but some how I can feel the warmth emanating from him. I can see the desire burning in his gaze. A mischievous grin forms on his face as he stands there in silence. In that moment, time seems to stand still an the world around us fades away.Lorenzo takes a step forward, his eyes never leaving mine. My heart starts pounding as he slowly closes the distance between us. His warm hand reaches out as he gently brush a strand of hair from my face. His touch so gentle and tender, I can’t help but lean into it, craving more of him.“My sweet baby girl.” His voice sincere. “Your all bruised and beaten up.” His jaws clenched as he runs his fingers down my jawline pausing at every scrape on my face as he scans them intensively.

The late afternoon sun casts a warm golden glow over my body as I step out the hospital doors. I needed to make a pit stop at the bathroom, Lorenzo went a head to fetch the car. I take in a deep breath of fresh air, enjoying the afternoons sun on my face. I have been cooped up in the hospital for way to long and the feeling of freedom is like a balm to my soul.“Hey” Lorenzo’s deep, rich voice calls adding to my good mood. He’s leaning against his black Bugatti La Voiture Noire, with his arms folded across his chest, looking handsome and relaxed in his t-shirt and jeans. “Want a lift baby girl?” A mischievous grin paints his face.A smirk pulls on the corner of my mouth. “Nope, I don’t get in a car with a stranger.” Lorenzo straightens up and a smile spreads across his face as he makes his way to me. “I’m no stranger, baby girl. I’m the man taking you home and writing a whole new road map on every inch of your body, I’ll make you scream my name, like it’s the only one you know as I

Sometimes in life, we have to make tough choices. It might not even be the right one at that moment, but the damage is done, and you have to live with it and try to make the best of your decision. "I'll pick you up at six." Lorenzo says as we come to a stop outside Shane's apartment. "Okay." Lorenzo jumps out of the car and walks to my side, to open the door for me. He offers me his hand and with a blush painting my face I gently take it and step out of his car. Lorenzo brushes his lips against my knuckles. "I’ll see you tomorrow night. Rest well baby girl.” I inhale sharply as he lets go of my hand. "Let me get your bag." "Thanks." I stood there on the sidewalk, smiling foolishly at him. Lorenzo grabs the bag from the tailgate and drops it on the floor as he gently cups my face in his hands. "You are so beautiful, Lilly-Ann." He whispers running his thumb over my lips. His touch is so warm, it engulfs my whole being. He gently place his lips on mine, I feel all my worries melt

The night grows weary as we come to a halt, outside Starlux Hotel. The people are cued up to enter the luxuries palace all dress in astonishing ball gowns and fancy tuxedos, with glamorous masks covering half of their faces. Rayon hands me a beautiful black mask to match my dress as he straps on his own. Tonight’s event is more like a brag then a charity. A lot of important people are here, throwing their cash around while sipping on very expensive beverages that’s being served as we wait for the doors to open. Finally, after what felt like an hour, the dark wooden doors swings open and a welcoming aroma streams out of the hotel, as the melody of a piano bounces off its walls, greeting its guest with a cheerful and lively song. "Ready?" Rayon asks, holding out his hand to lead me into the dragon’s dungeon."Yup." I give him the best smile I can manage as I take his hand. My heart is sprinting, and I have to admit, I am a bit nervous."Deep breaths." Rayon whispers as he place his h

Regret, yeah that's one thing that comes too late and you can't change it. I can't really say I regret going to the charity last night, but I can say I regret the way I left Lorenzo."Lilly-Ann, Rayon told me what happened last night, did you see anything or maybe got a picture?" Regina asks as I enter her office.I take a seat and let out a sigh. "No, sorry ma'am, I didn't." I know this means we can't use anything until we have hard proof.She narrows her eyes at me. "Lilly-Ann, this job is hard as it is and sometimes, we have to sacrifice a lot to get a story. We need to take risks, go where others don't want to, and ask questions no one else is willing to.
