[Addison]

Hunter blocks the view of the cameras with his wide back, creating a barrier between them and me as he shouts, "No comment," over his shoulder. Cameras continue to flash as he leads me toward the door of an elegant six-star luxury resort.

We're just going out to lunch, but from an outsider's point of view, seeing billionaire Hunter Grant walking towards a hotel with a young woman must look salacious. It won't matter that we are only friends, or that we aren't planning to enter any of the bedrooms. It will look bad enough that we are entering the resort at all.

"What about Jessica Jackson?" the photographer shouts. "Does she know about her?"

Jessica Jackson? Isn't she the 19-year-old model making headlines during fashion week? The "it" girl for all the leading brands? Annalise? I know he has a reputation for having many lovers, and he's my boss, but I can't help but feel the sting of jealousy burning from my gut.

"No comment," Hunter repeats as his driver pulls open the door

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 119

    [Addison]Adam Wright smiles at me with his million-dollar popstar smile between the fullest, most sensual lips I’ve ever seen on a man, or anyone. He’s handsome in a pretty way, his auburn hair cut artfully and yet still professional, framing his warm amber eyes which kiss at the corners at a sharp angle to match his architectural cheekbones. Today he is wearing thin, wire-rimmed glasses which take away from his K-pop appearance, and the German that spills from his mouth reminds me he’s not only attractive, but world traveled and intelligent. “German isn’t one of my languages,” I apologize as I hold out my hand. “Mr. Wright, what brings you to Grant Group.” “CCRP has been handed a case that involves racketeering on a global financial scale. The legal team here at Grant Group have more of a specialization in corporate finance law specifically, and a much larger global reach. We were hoping to collaborate.” McCannon’s eyes sparkle as he looks up at me. Something has him amused. “An

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 118

    [Addison]I’m wrapped in silk sheets, a warm body pressed into my back, when my eyes flutter open and I realize I am no longer in the courtroom. I’m home, in bed with my lover. But how did I get here? Everything after the moment that I heard the judge say that my son is going to go to Michael feels like a foggy dream.“You’re awake,” Hunter kisses the base of my neck as he snuggles in tighter, the heat of his body warming away my fears. “I was worried.” “How did we end up naked in bed,” I turn my head around, an eyebrow curved with amusement. “I carried you, of course. You passed out in the car,” he explains logically with a straight face. “And you’re naked because I wasn’t going to put you to bed wearing clothing. You’d be achy and sore if I did that.” “Is that so?” my lips curl and he smiles back at me. “Then why are you naked too and in bed with me? You didn’t take advantage of me did you?”“Never,” he kisses me gently and I melt into him, enjoying the sensation of his firm muscl

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 117

    [Hunter]Even with the most sophisticated image recreation technology on and off the market and a small team working vigilantly to refine the image, they announced that they weren't able to read the name on the badge, but they were able to determine that whoever it was isn't a full-time employee of the school. "Some kind of substitute or temporary worker," they surmised,"We can't give you more information because the image is incomplete," the team leader announced nervously, "The shot is good, but the pixelation is too much, the image of the badge is too small. We have a few more tricks we can try, but we'll need more than an hour. I'm sorry, sir.""How long do you need?" I demand, my temper flaring. It's not his fault, but I also have so many other concerns on my mind. "I'm sorry, but this is important. I need this information." Taking a slow deep breath I add. "How long do you think you'll need?" "3-5 days," the lead imager confirms. "One week at the most. We need to recreate the..

    [Hunter]The last text from Carter has me worried. Something isn't right with Addy, I can feel it in my gut. She needs me, I just know it. But there has been a new disappearance, the daughter of the Ambassador from Sudan, staying in the city for the UN Summit next week, never made it home from school. She was only 8. I've been stuck in the Black Eagle main office looking over evidence, trying to find some clue that could lead to a solution. But like all the other cases, Ashri never made it to her father, Ambassador Osman, who had been waiting to meet her for ice cream. Lately, we have had unfortunate luck. There have been 9 confirmed instances of kids have gone missing in the last 5 months, all of them high-profile, all of them while under careful guard, and all of them under 12. Someone is managing to get close to all of these kids without causing alarm, harvesting them apples from a tree.And to make things even worse, It seems that the harder we look, the less we find, and my gov

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 115

    [Addison]For a moment, as everyone turns to stare at me. The room falls silent, and as I stand there, looking at my son, it feels like the world has stopped spinning. I just shouted out in court, interrupting my son's testimony leaving everyone stunned.Especially Jayson. As he looks at me, his face red from crying and shouting, his eyes are wide, his mouth still quivering as tears roll down his cheeks. Even if everything else he's said today is false, the emotion he is expressing right now is real. Nobody could fake that level of pain. And I'm the one who caused it. I hurt him. I hurt my little boy."I'm not lying," his voice trembles, and I feel myself crumble. "You are a bad mother. You left me. You left me behind. You don't want me, you never did!" The sting of his words burn my face as hotly and as suddenly as if he had slapped me. "If you were a good mother, you would have taken me with you," he points a finger at me. "Or you would have stayed with Daddy. Daddy keeps trying

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 114

    [Addison]My little boy looks so small sitting in the witness stand, gazing with his big blue eyes at the judge, who seems like a mountain of authority gazing down at him. "Don't worry about what your parents might think," the Judge implores. "Just answer my questions truthfully. Can you do that for me, Jayson?"My son sits a little taller and nods bravely, "Yes, Mr. Judge, sir." "You can call me Judge Walker," The kindly older man smiles warmly at my little boy in a grandfatherly way that makes my son relax. There's something about the judge that feels trustworthy, and I wonder if he has any children or grandchildren of his own. "What do you want to know?" Jayson blinks up innocently. "Tell me about your family," the Judge urges. Tell me about your mother and father."Jayson pauses, but then begins to speak. At first, the words were kind enough, "My father is a lawyer. He's busy a lot. I don't see him much, but when I do, we always have fun." He grins at his father, and I know tha
