MasukThe video on that phone proved one terrifying truth. We were no longer alone in this obsession. Someone wanted us dead.The next morning I barely slept. Every shadow in my apartment made me jump. I texted John that I needed to see him immediately. He told me to come to his private gym in the basement of his building where the new security team could watch everything. When I arrived he was already there hitting the heavy bag hard enough to make the chains rattle. Sweat glistened on his bare chest and shoulders.“John we need to talk about those files I saw in your office,” I said closing the door behind me. “The ones about your wife. Tell me the truth. Was Victor Kane really behind her death?”He stopped punching and turned to face me breathing heavily. “Liana you should not have gone through my things. That part of my life is dangerous. I do not want you anywhere near it.”“But I am already in it,” I shot back stepping closer. “That car
One wrong step in the city could get me killed, but I still could not stay away from him. The vacation ended too soon and we all returned to the city. Mia went straight to her friends while I waited until late at night. My heart pounded as I used the spare key she had once given me for emergencies. I slipped into John’s penthouse like a shadow, the lights of the skyline glittering through the massive floor to ceiling windows. John stood by the bar in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He looked up when I closed the door and his face tightened. “Liana you should not be here,” he said quietly. “It is too risky after everything that has happened.” I walked straight to him refusing to back down. “I needed to see you Daddy. The whole ride back I kept thinking about you inside me on that yacht. I could not wait.” He let out a rough b
Running from danger only made me want him more.After Lena’s slip up I knew we could not sit still any longer. John picked me up early the next morning and we drove to a quiet coffee shop on the edge of the city to start digging into the stalker ourselves.“We cannot trust anyone right now,” John said as we sat in a back booth. “Not even my own team. I pulled some old contacts and found out the black car from the other night is registered to a shell company linked to Kane.”I leaned closer across the table. “So what is our next move Daddy? We cannot just wait for him to come after us again.”John looked around then lowered his voice. “We follow the money. I have an old warehouse address where some of Kane’s people have been spotted. We go check it out but we stay careful. You stay in the car until I say it is clear.”“No way,” I replied firmly. “We are in this together. I am not sitting on the sidelines while you risk everything
Chapter 4: Playing with FireThat hidden photo should have made me run. Instead, it made me want him even more.The next evening the three of us headed to an exclusive beach party hosted by one of John’s business associates. The place was packed with rich locals, pulsing music, and fire dancers lighting up the sand. I wore a tiny black dress that hugged every curve and barely covered my ass. I knew John would hate it. That was the point.Mia grabbed my hand as soon as we arrived. “This is going to be insane! Let’s get drinks.”We danced for a while, laughing and moving to the music. Then a tall, handsome local guy named Diego came over. He had a bright smile, nice arms, and zero shame.“You must be the most beautiful girl here tonight,” he said, leaning in close. “I’m Diego. Dance with me?”I felt John’s eyes on us from across the fire pit before I even answered. “Sure, why not,” I replied with a flirty smile.Diego pulled me toward the dance floor. His hands settled on my hips as we
Fear had officially lost the battle. Desire was winning, and it was winning dirty.The morning after the storm I could still feel the ghost of John’s fingers between my legs. My body ached for more. I spent the whole time on the yacht waiting for the perfect moment, watching Mia sunbathe on the upper deck with her headphones blasting and a drink in her hand. She was completely checked out. This was my chance.I slipped down into the luxurious master cabin and closed the door behind me. John was standing there in just swim trunks, looking at some navigation screens. The second he saw me, his face changed.“Liana, last night was a mistake,” he said, voice low and strained. “We cannot do this again. Ever.”I walked straight up to him, heart hammering. “You really believe that, Daddy? After the way you had your fingers buried in my pussy last night? You were so close to fucking me right there in the pool house.”His eyes darkened instantly. “Keep your voice down. Mia is right upstairs. Th
One whispered challenge can turn a quiet vacation into a dangerous game you can’t walk away from.The next morning I woke up with my skin still tingling from the memory of his stare. I knew I had to push harder. I picked the tiniest white bikini I brought, the one that barely held my chest in place and rode high on my hips. When I looked in the mirror I felt powerful. Dangerous. Ready.Mia was already by the pool when I got downstairs, sipping orange juice in her sunglasses. “Damn, Liana. You trying to break necks today?”I laughed and dropped my towel on the chair next to hers. “Just trying to get a good tan. Where’s your dad?”“Probably in his office pretending to work even though he promised he wouldn’t. Why?”“No reason,” I said innocently. “Just wondering if he’s joining us.”I positioned my lounge chair so I had a perfect view of the terrace. Sure enough, John came out a few minutes later in swim trunks, looking ridiculously good. I waited until Mia went inside to grab more drin
