ELENA

I was struggling to come to terms with the fact that Atlas would actually leave me forever if it got to that.

He seemed capable of such, although at the same time, his eyes held a different meaning.

Anyway, I would try so hard to not care.

Definitely, no matter whatever it is he has to say, I wouldn’t consider him for even a second, because he was bad news. I knew that too well to let myself get swayed. Again.

But since he wouldn’t let me go without hearing him out, let’s do that.

“Fine,” I folded my arms across my chest. “What do you have to say?”

“Let’s head back to my suite,” he said as he reached for my arm. “We can talk back there—“

“No,” I slapped his hand away. “We can talk right here, or we’re not talking at all.”

He let out an exasperated sigh. “Elena—“

“Listen, I don’t trust myself to be around you anymore, especially in closed spaces. So why don’t we talk out here?”

“Fine,” he ran his fingers through his hair. “Let’s talk in the car.”

I gave him a leveled look. “You d

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   FOREVER

    ELENAFor a few shocking minutes, I couldn’t move. I just stood there, frozen, staring up into the familiar face that was revealed as the mask fell away.I couldn’t believe that I was standing in this room right now, and looking at Atlas Grant. The same Atlas Grant that should be back in Manhattan.Was this really him? Definitely. The fiery, intense look in his eyes was unmistakeable.How was he here? What was he doing here? How did he even find me?These questions and more bugged me, swirling around in my mind.But what took utmost priority was my brain screaming at me to get away from him. As far as I could.“Elena…” he started, lifting a hand to palm my cheek, and I seized the opportunity.Shoving him as hard as I could, I bolted towards the doors and out of the suite, making for the door that led to the parking lot.I couldn’t understand how he’d found me, but one thing was clear. I needed to get as far away as possible from him.No succumbing, even though his fingers on my skin h

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   FOUND YOU

    ATLASHours earlierI stared blankly at the document sitting open on the desk in front of me. More like I stared right through it.I couldn’t remember how long I’ve sat like this for, but my ass was starting to ache. That was my only reminder that I’ve sat here too long, completely zoned out.My secretary had left a proposal on my desk ever since I came into work this morning, and I’d also arrived to find a pile of other documents waiting to be reviewed and signed.But all I’d successfully done was stare a hole into the document I was supposed to be reviewing.I’d been like this all week. A total mess…Never in a million years would I believe that not seeing a woman for a couple of days would get me this messed up. But in this case, it wasn’t just any woman.It was Elena, the woman that had captured me and my fucking heart, my entire being, and kept me in chokehold.Running on the treadmill, I saw her face. Pulling the fucking weights, I saw her face. Driving to work, I saw her face.

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   THE VIP GUEST

    ELENATo my surprise, this man unabashedly put a palm on my thigh.He didn’t stop there. He’d gone ahead to trace a finger on my skin, and it frustrated me that I could not raise my hand and slap the silliness out of him.Uncomfortable as hell, but having to comport myself, I’d tried my best to give him everything I knew about the work dealers did in a casino.I was grappling at some point, but at least I gave it a try, right?By the time I was done with my explanation, I’d managed to scoot away from his grizzly hand.“So, how old are you?” He ran his eyes over my body in a leery manner, watching me like a hawk did its prey as I slowly got to my feet.What did my age have to do with anything? I clearly looked young, wasn’t that what mattered?“You don’t want to keep me hanging with the answers, sweetheart,” the man’s voice interrupted my thoughts, dark eyes taking in every inch of me, “trust me.”I swallowed hard, folding my palms together in front of me. “27, sir.”He nodded, seeming

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   VEGAS GIRL

    ELENADays have gradually turned to a week, and I wouldn’t say life has been any better. Generally.Las Vegas was nothing like Manhattan.I was always cooped up in Lordy’s apartment unit, staring out her floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the bustling nightlife of Vegas.“I need to find a job, Lordy.” Once again, I stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, my back turned to my friend from one of the foster homes I was juggled around.Over the years, we’ve grown into the kind of friends that only reached out to each other on special holidays, just for courtesy’s sake. I bet she was surprised when I called her out of the blue, so randomly.But I wouldn’t deny the fact that Lordy was a real one.A real one would let me stay over at their place without any prior heads-up.I’d arrived in Vegas to an already boiling, relaxing hot-tub, and like, the most heartwarming meal ever.So yeah, Lordy is a real one.But when I say Vegas is nothing like Manhattan, I mean it sincerely. Achingly.This

  • Falling in love with the Devil’s son   TRACEABLE

    ATLASWhat truly did catch my heart, was the way this caregiver with bouncy blonde hair and hazel green eyes handled my mother with absolute care and gentleness, like she was hers.She washed my mother’s hands and feet with tender movements, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she smiled up at my mother, who was as mesmerized as I was.She had so much graceful energy, her movements as equally gracious as her curves. Causing a thrill to race through my chest.I reached for the door handle. “I’ll see her now,” I said to Keelan without looking at him, then I twisted the handle and walked into the room.The blonde-haired, gorgeous-eyed caregiver and my mother, seemed so deep in thought they hardly noticed a third presence in my room. Until I cleared my throat.“You must be the new caregiver.”She whirled around, her eyes widening. “Oh,” she mumbled, hazel green eyes gleaming with mischief, “and you must be the son. Our beautiful Olandria here, hasn’t stopped speaking about her son whom s
