ZURI'S POINT OF VIEW

I wake up wrapped in warmth, so comfortable I don’t want to move. Summer’s tucked against my chest, and I bury my face in her hair—she smells like sunshine and Helios, probably from spending so much time with her father. I hold her tighter, a soft smile pulling at my lips.

Then I hear giggling behind me, and the smile vanishes. I crack my eyes open to find Helios staring down at me, his electric blue eyes warm and bright. One arm is propped on the matt

    Heaven's GiftSASHA ROSARIO'S POINT OF VIEW "Sasha! I'm telling you, he's the answer to your prayers-" "What prayers? I wasn't exactly wishing for a husband to magically appear-ouch!" I shot Andeng a glare, rubbing the spot on my head where she'd just flicked me. "Why are you yelling? I'm standing right next to you!" she retorted, frowning. I sighed, resisting the urge to scream again. My heart was still pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs. I hadn't been able to move a muscle until Andeng and Junior arrived. I'd even been shocked to see Junior in just his boxers, clearly interrupting some husband-and-wife bonding time. Who wouldn't be rattled after letting out a scream that could rival a slaughterhouse? Because, seriously! Who wouldn't be terrified when a bloody, yet undeniably gorgeous, man suddenly collapses in your living room? "Who do you think he is, Sasha? Junior's taking forever. We need to c

    Premium Drop from the SkySASHA ROSARIO'S POINT OF VIEW I was cocooned in sleep when a peculiar sound tugged me from my dreams. What is that racket? Is a dog howling at the moon? With a groan, I hauled myself upright, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and tossing aside my thin, well-worn blanket. Good grief-are we having a death in the neighborhood? That mutt is making enough noise to raise the dead. But any lingering drowsiness evaporated the moment I swung open my cottage door. My eyes widened, and a startled shriek escaped my lips. "AHH! Burog! You little pervert-are you really trying to mount that poor dog right in front of my house?!" Heat flared in my cheeks as I gaped at my pint-sized mutt, Burog, going at it with a dog easily twice his size. For such a tiny creature, he possessed a surprising amount of stamina. "Shoo! Get out of here, you horny little pest!" I waved my arms, attempting to s

    BOOK 3: I ACCIDENTALLY ADOPTED A MAFIA BOSS PROLOGUEWARNING: This story contains mature, sensitive, and explicit content. Reader discretion is advised. SASHA ROSARIO'S POINT OF VIEW A year ago, a man with no name and no memory knocked at my door. I called him Angelo, gave him my spare room, watched him fold himself into the narrow gaps of my life until there was no space left he hadn't filled. We loved like divers surfacing for breath-each touch a current pulling us closer, each word a gasp we'd been holding too long. Then he was gone. One morning the sheets were cold as river stone, his things wiped clean from every shelf and hook, and I've waited since. Ache lives in my bones now. Love does too. So why am I curled in the back of a van, blindfold tight enough to press shadows into my eyes, my shoulder grinding against metal as we bound over potholes wide enough to swallow a jeepney whole? I've spent thirty-two ye

    EpilogueTHREE MONTHS LATER... LUCIAN VITALE'S POINT OF VIEW I can't sleep. Haven't had a full night's rest in over a month, pulling overtime at the office every single day. I glance at the wall clock as I shut down my laptop-six in the morning. Time flies when you're drowning in numbers and deadlines. It feels like just yesterday I was staring at the same screen, the clock reading ten at night. I stand up and slip on my coat, the wool heavy against my tired shoulders. I grab my phone and car keys from the desk-cool metal and plastic in my palm. I need to get home. They'll be waiting. "Good morning, sir. Overtime again?" One of the morning-shift guards greets me at the exit, his breath fogging in the cool lobby air. I offer him a gentle smile. "Yeah-gotta do it for the family." He grins back, lines crinkling around his eyes. "How about some coffee first, sir? You'll give yourself a stomach ache burning th

    His Fears SERAPHINA "Sera" MORTEZ'S POINT OF VIEW "Daddy... when will Mommy wake up?" "I miss her... Daddy Lucian..." Is this real, or just my mind playing tricks? Did I really hear that? Did my children just call their father by the name he was always meant to have? I can't move a muscle. Every part of me feels heavy, as if weighted down by stone. I want to look at them, to reach out and touch their small hands-anything to make sure I'm not hallucinating. But my eyelids won't open, my fingers won't wiggle. All I can do is listen. Listen to their voices, clear and bright even through the fog in my head. Listen to the steady beep of the monitor beside my bed, counting out seconds like heartbeats. It feels like I've been trapped like this forever-a nightmare I can't wake from, full of shadows I never want to face again. I want to open my eyes. I want to see the people I thought I'd lost, to breathe in the scent of t

    Lucian Vitale 3LUCIAN VITALE'S POINT OF VIEW "How are you, hmm? Been far too long. You've grown-I thought you'd be smaller in person. I watched you on the feeds while you were in there. Glad you survived. Proves you deserve to live. I suppose I ought to be proud-" "Cut the crap, old man." My words caught in my throat as cold metal pressed to the side of my head. A gun, steady as stone, held by someone just out of sight. I kept my gaze locked on the man across from me, seated behind an ornate desk of dark, polished wood. We were in his office-only us three: him, me, and the armed guard by the door. Percy, Kiddeon, and Keiran were already asleep in the rooms they'd been given, their bodies finally resting after years of running. He laughed, sharp as broken glass cutting through the quiet. "Some manners you've got. Is that how you treat the man who-" "You're not my grandfather. Just someone I used to know." My voice was flat,

    Helios hadn't left my side since he learned about what happened at the mall. He remained a constant shadow to Summer and me, adamantly refusing to let us leave without him. Even my own solitary errands now included his formidable presence. Creed had even started complaining to Helios, questioning h

    Luther graciously allowed his new wife, Junko, to mingle with us women after the wedding. We gathered at a table in the reception area. I felt a blush creep up my neck; Luther had apparently expressed his desire for me to meet his wife. So here I was. At first, I felt a little out of pl

    I woke to a tickle on my neck, a soft brush that feathered across my skin. Turning, I found Helios buried against me, his face nestled in the curve of my neck, peppering it with kisses. I tried to pull away, but his arm was a steel band around my waist, holding me captive. "Helios, stop

    ZURI'S POINT OF VIEW The pace of my days with Helios didn’t let up—he worked me so mercilessly I could barely keep food down or make it home most nights. I started stashing biscuits and a change of clothes at my desk; some afternoons, my legs would shake so badly I couldn’t stand until every las
