Simon’s POV

The glow from my monitor cast a pale blue hue across the darkened walls of my home office.

At the moment, I was leaning into my chair, phone pressed to my ear, and listening to Walter drone on about merger logistics and client fallout.

Half of my attention was on the spreadsheet in front of me while the other half was trying to remember when I last ate something that didn’t come from a protein bar wrapper.

“I get it, Walter,” I muttered, rubbing my temple.

“We’ll move forward with the proposal, but I need a more detailed breakdown before I sign off.”

Walter kept talking like he hadn’t heard me. He always did that, going around the circle until I either hung up or made a threat.

But I never got the chance this time, because the office door creaked open and in came Amelia.

I blinked, clearly caught off guard.

She was still in her pajamas, those ridiculous unicorn ones she swore were vintage and her hair was a frizzy mess of curls.

But what caught me wasn’t her look, it

    Simon’s POV“Krowleys Boys." I mumbled, swirling around in my swivel chair. I was in my home office, strategizing my next move to drive the boys off my turf when my phone began to buzz against the table.Pushing myself forward, I leaned in only to see Trevor's name dancing on the screen of my phone.I didn't pick up, instead I fell back into my chair staring at the ceiling. We talked around noon, it was just two hours past noon and he was up for another conversation. “I need to think." I groaned, pushing my hand into my hair.When he wouldn't stop calling, I snatched the phone off my table, making my way towards the window.After swiping to receive his call, I placed the device against my ear, my gaze on the sun which was tucked in the clouds. “Tell me about it," I said, resting against the wall with my feet crossed. I was expecting the usual: a minor turf dispute, intel on the Krowleys, or a shipment delay but I didn't get any. “Drop by the gang house,” he said. “You’ve got a p

    Hazel’s POVThe soft hiss of the toaster was the only sound in the kitchen that morning. I had just placed two slices of bread in and was spreading butter across another when I felt his presence.I didn’t need to look up to know Simon had entered the kitchen. The air shifted whenever he was around; it became tighter and heavier.The cook and house staff were all gone on Simon’s orders. He said they were on mandatory leave but I knew better. He was still in the mafia and whenever one of his enemies slithered back into his turf, things had a way of going sideways. He didn’t want witnesses if things went south that was why he sent them away.I didn’t greet him as I didn't owe him that.We had lived under the same roof for nearly three months but we haven't had a good talk. We were always bickering and lying in wait for when next we were going to exchange words. “I’m sorry,” he said.The words hung awkwardly in the air.Squinting, I tilted my head to the side but I said nothing. I did

    Hazel’s POV“You aren’t going anywhere, young lady,” he said, only to place his mug against his lips.The audacity.For a few minutes, I stood frozen at the base of the stairs, my hand still resting lightly on the railing. My other hand was clenched around my purse, fingers curling into the faux leather like it was the only thing tethering me to my sanity.I turned around slowly and deliberately until my eyes met his. Of course he was still shirtless and was still standing in the same position like he had the damn right to tell me what to do. Like he hadn’t just spent the past few days making me feel like I was invisible. Like I was a flickering bulb in his house that was annoying, inconsistent, and inconvenient for him.Squaring my shoulder, I raised my chin, “Excuse me?”He didn’t flinch. Instead, he took another sip from his mug like we were having a polite conversation about the weather and not whatever the hell this was.“I said,” he repeated, his voice low and steady, “you’re

  • Forbidden Attraction: Twisted Into A Sinner   Chapter 11

    HAZEL’S POVJust like Simon had wanted, I went out to inform Aurora that things were even between me and her father, only then did she dig into her meal. Until I slid into my room, I could still feel Simon’s gaze on me. He had been staring since I turned towards the stairs.I hated that I couldn’t get him out of my head no matter how much I tried.Simon Veneti, my brooding, impossible, infuriating stepbrother was everywhere. He was in my thoughts, my bloodstream and my dreams. And the fact that we lived under the same damn roof didn't help a bit.It was stupid, so stupid.After everything, after the way he made me feel like a leftover he couldn’t decide whether to toss or hoard, I still wanted him.It was sick, no I was the one who was sick.With my hands spread apart, I fell on my bed, my knees bent and pressed together as I stared up at the ceiling fan spinning lazily above me. A breeze floated through the opened window, brushing against my bare legs, making a little sigh escape

    HAZEL’S POVWhatever Simon does, that was the least of my business. That was what I kept telling myself as I sat cross legged on my bed. The glow of my laptop screen was the only light in the room. My stomach growled for the second time in ten minutes, reminding me that I had skipped breakfast after skipping dinner last night.After the fallout with Simon, I had refused to leave my room, not because I was afraid of seeing him. It's just that, I didn’t trust myself not to throw a fork at his forehead the second he opened his mouth.After what he said last night, how could I not?Frustrated, I slammed the lid of my laptop shut with a groan and then leaned back against the headboard, letting my eyes flutter close for a second.Why does he always do this?Why does he act like I’m some villain invading his perfect little world? Like I asked to be here, like I’m forcing myself into Aurora’s life when all I’ve ever done is love her as her aunt. “Ugh,” I muttered, sitting up and yanking t
