Forbidden Thirst 68. Security.
“Hunter, baby…” Before Victoria could continue, Hunter cut her off sharply.“In my office. Now,” he said, his voice brooking no argument.I shot her a glare for the pet name she used for Hunter and then directed the same fierce look at Hunter for taking this murderer into his office. Hayden, meanwhile, glared at me as if I were somehow at fault, even though I had done nothing wrong.Once Victoria had left with the two men trailing behind her, I exhaled in relief, realizing I hadn’t even noticed I’d been holding my breath. The tension in the room seemed to dissipate, leaving me feeling slightly less anxious.“You alright?” Olivia’s question startled me.I turned to her, surprised by the concern in her eyes. “Don’t give me that look. I know how Victoria can be—she’s always been vindictive. She used to bully me whenever she got the chance back when she and Hunter were
Forbidden Thirst 67. Victoria's threat.
Lily's POV..............I wasn’t supposed to be at work today. The twins had generously given me some time off to cope with the loss of my best friend, Dillon. I should have taken the time to grieve in peace, but the ache inside me felt too overwhelming. I couldn’t stand being at home, consumed by my own sorrow. I needed to do something—anything—to distract myself and find some semblance of normalcy. And for me, that meant being around the twins.I knew they would be displeased to see me at the office, but I couldn’t help it. The space felt oddly comforting, even as it reminded me of Dillon. The twins had a full schedule today, but they were dealing with a minor matter first. I knew they would be back soon, and I was determined to make myself useful in the meantime.As I busied myself with paperwork, trying to focus on the tasks at hand, the office door creaked open. I looked up, expecting one of the staff or perhaps even one of the twins, but instead, Victoria’s voice sliced through
Forbidden Thirst 66. Five steps ahead.
Third party POV“So, what do you have for us?” Hayden’s voice was low but firm as he addressed the secret detective who had been covertly working for them.The detective, keeping his demeanor casual, responded, “While I was away for Thanksgiving dinner with my family, I wasn’t able to pick up on anything out of the ordinary that might link Dillion’s death to someone directly. However, our team is diligently working on it. As soon as there’s an update, I’ll ensure you’re the first to know.”Hunter’s brow furrowed as he leaned forward, his expression troubled. “Do you think Victoria might be involved, or perhaps his girlfriend? Or could it be someone entirely unknown to us?”The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on them, especially with Lily now deep in depression over the shocking news. It was clear that, despite their own thirst for revenge for what Dillion had done to Li
Forbidden Thirst 65. Deadly day.
"Thank god you decided to come," I said happily to my mother as we stepped into the Steele residence for Thanksgiving dinner. The warmth and elegance of the home greeted us instantly, with the scent of roasted turkey and freshly baked pies wafting through the air."I only did it because I don't want to lose my one and only daughter. I want to be a part of your life," she replied, her voice softening. I gave her a tight hug, feeling a sense of relief wash over me."Hello, Miss Montgomery," both Hunter and Hayden greeted my mom with a polite hug. At least she showed them courtesy, even if it was with a bit of reservation.Mr. and Mrs. Steele approached us with welcoming smiles, their holiday spirit evident. "Thank you for having me and my daughter here today. Your home looks very beautiful," my mom commented, handing them a thoughtfully wrapped housewarming gift."Thank you, and Lily has been coming here for a few days now to have dinner with us, so she's n
Forbidden Thirst 64. In danger?
Lily's POV.........."As it is that we are together now, I don't think asking you two personal questions is wrong?" I asked, laying between the twins. The cool sheets against my skin were a stark contrast to the warmth of their bodies, cocooning me in an odd sense of security despite the burning questions in my mind."Ask away, baby girl," Hunter said, peppering kisses to my cheeks. His lips were soft and tender, a stark contrast to the raw intensity of our earlier encounters. I knew they were in the mood for another round, but after a total of five rounds, my body was fatigued, and they knew this.Taking a deep breath, I braced myself for the answer. "The other day when I saw Victoria entering your room, why did you make her? Are you still in love with her?" I asked Hunter, the doubt that had been gnawing at my mind finally spilling out.Hunter pulled me closely into his arms, his grip firm yet comforting. He looked me straight in the eyes, his gaze unwavering. "The woman you saw the
Forbidden Thirst 63. Getting rid of her.
Third party POV"I think what you've suspected, madam, is true. The twins do seem to be very overprotective of their assistant, Lily," the man said, his voice low and cautious as he stood before the woman seated at her grand mahogany desk, elegantly smoking a cigarette.The woman, her eyes narrowing with irritation, blew out a plume of smoke. "What have you found out exactly?" she demanded, her tone sharp and edged with impatience.The man shifted uneasily on his feet, aware of the woman's volatile temper. "Well, for one, they've made sure she stays at the elite royal condominium where they live. Although I'm uncertain if any other employees reside there, it's clear that only high-class millionaires and above can afford to stay there. Another thing is that she's rarely seen anywhere without the twins or their bodyguards discreetly following her," he explained, his words measured and deliberate.The woman's lips pressed into a thin line, her frustration mounting. "What else?" she snapp
