LOGINMy boyfriend chose a rich woman over me. My boss fired me. My life was falling apart. Then I met him. Karl Moretti, the most powerful and dangerous man in Los Angeles. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Men fear him. Women want him. And for some reason… he wants me. I tried to stay away from his world, but Karl doesn’t take no for an answer. The closer I get to him, the more secrets I uncover, about his empire, my past, and the night my mother died. He says I belong to him. His enemies say I should run. My heart says it’s already too late.
View MoreLanaConfused is an understatement. Surprised is an even bigger understatement for what I’m feeling right now.The man who has invaded my thoughts for the last couple of weeks is right in front of me in a well-tailored suit, his hands in his pockets, looking at me with calmness that feels almost unreal.“Mr. Karl Moretti, I didn’t know you would be coming here yourself,” Mr. Romero said, standing up from his seat. He looked just as confused as I am.Wait.Karl Moretti?What?The man standing in front of me is Karl Moretti?“Romero, please give us space,” Karl said, his eyes still on me. My brain was so foggy I could barely form words.The glass door opened and closed, meaning Mr. Romero had left. Which also meant I was now alone in this office with Karl Moretti.“Lana.” Karl smiled, my name rolling off his tongue with such ease it sent a tingling feeling through me. “We meet again,” he added, and I swear, I almost fell off the chair I was sitting on.It’s like I’m in a dream and I’m s
LanaMy date with Cole was actually more than I had expected. He was gentle and patient, it’s almost unbelievable.But he has always been like that. I was just too focused on Ethan to notice anything about him. I already told him I’m not ready to date anyone, and he fully understands.Considering the fact that he has been after me for three years, he’s pretty patient and persistent.My mind went back to the date we had a week ago. Everything was going well until I saw him, the guy I met at the bar that day.He was looking straight at me. Even after I averted my gaze, I could still feel his stare on me.As much as my date with Cole was alright, I still can’t get that man out of my head. I even went as far as dreaming about him, and I don’t even know his damn name.My head has been betraying me since then. I can’t go a day without his perfectly sculpted face appearing in my mind. It’s quite unnerving.“Lana?” I heard Beatrice call, and I blinked.“Yes?” I answered.“Dad wants to speak w
KarlI stare straight at her. I see how tense she becomes when she spots me, she must be wondering what I’m doing here.My gaze didn’t flatter, but hers did when the guy sitting opposite her said something.I want to go to them and smash his face into the food in front of him.My blood boils to see her having a good date with Mr. Nobody. I would give anything to go back to the bar where we met.I enjoyed her company as much as I knew she enjoyed mine, but Ryan had to ruin it with that damn message.“Karl,” I hear my brother’s voice, and I drag my eyes away from them and glare at him.“Who are you looking at?” Ryan asks as he traces my gaze to her. “Ohhh, she’s pretty, but she looks like she’s taken,” he adds.I don’t think she’s taken. She clearly told me what her boyfriend did to her, so it’s definitely not him she’s having dinner with. I’m guessing someone is courting her.“She’s not taken,” I reply sternly, and Ryan blinks.“Whatever you say,” Ryan says in surrender. “Why are we he
LanaI pushed the door open, and Beatrice visibly flinched when she saw me. She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, and I frowned.“What’s wrong?” I asked, my voice laced with worry.“It’s nothing,” she replied calmly, but she knew I wasn’t buying that shît.“If something’s bothering you, Trixie, you can tell me. Crying in the bathroom isn’t ‘nothing,’” I said sternly. I was beginning to sound like our mom.“It’s not, Lana. Please, just drop it,” Beatrice gritted out and walked past me.I stood there, shocked out of my mind. What on earth is wrong with her?I sighed and walked out of the bathroom.When I got into the living room, Beatrice was already sitting at the dining table, and Lily was sitting beside her.“Aren’t you going to eat, Aunt Lana?” Lily asked, and I smiled at her.“Of course I will,” I answered and sat down to eat.Throughout dinner, Beatrice didn’t say a word, even though Lily kept talking about her day and asking us a bunch of questions.I made it my mission to a
