JANICE

The small cafe in the quiet part of town smelled like fresh pastries and vanilla lattes. It was exactly the kind of place that brought some sort of warmth in my life—warm lighting, soft jazz playing in the background, and not a single chance of running into anyone that would ruin my good time.

I didn’t want to think about Lucian, Calder, or even Aiden. Especially Lucian. That motherfucking asshole.

Just the thought of him after what he said and did to me, was enough to make me want to sc

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   This saturday

    AIDENAnother call.Another meeting.No single time to rest in between.Once again, I kept myself buried in work because I needed to outrun my own shadow. If I stopped moving, those thoughts would catch me and then I would have to face them. I couldn’t do that. Janice’s face when she sacrificed herself to save us from certain death because we were too stupid and went for a mission without having back up in place. One of the biggest flaws in our plans. Sure, we hadn’t thought the man would be there, but backup was backup. It came in handy when needed. The way she couldn’t bear to look at us as her entire body shook. That woman had thrown herself deeper into the monster’s world for us.Now I was drowning in a guilt so deep that was sure to suffocate and eventually kill me.So I worked. I stayed away from Calder and Lucian—the silence only made the gap between us grow deeper and deeper after that last fight.My assistant knocked and entered my office, holding yet another thick folder.

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   An Alliance

    LUCIANAs a leader of one of the oldest families in organized crime in this country, getting escorted out of the Kane estate with a gun aimed at the back of my head after the woman I cared for agreed to a union with a member of the Anderson family, was surprisingly not the only hurtful thing that happened to me that night.No.The brother I had done my best to rescue… the stupid idiot who allowed himself to be captured in the first place escaped from the hospital the next day.It had been two months since that night and it still fucked me up.I took a drag from the cigarette, letting the smoke fill me up from the insides. An old habit that just had to resurface. “Get the fuck out of my house,” I said, keeping my eyes on the man opposite me, who looked like he hadn’t seen the light of day since he escaped that day.Injuries covered every part of his exposed skin—some covered up, some open, and all releasing a pungent odor. I couldn’t even fathom the kind of nonsense this man had been u

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Dinner

    JANICE“Tonight, we’ll be having dinner at the Anderson’s estate,” Alexander announced during breakfast, standing at the entrance of the room like some sort of stalker. He kept those cruel eyes on the little notebook he kept clutched in his hand, not bothering to look at the woman whose life he was constantly destroying. “They expressed their desire to meet you before the wedding.”A wedding we were still making plans for. A marriage to a man I had not seen for the last two months.Not that I minded.I swallowed the last piece of toast on my plate, trying my best not to roll my eyes. “I don’t want to meet…”“I’ve made arrangements for a new dress which will be sent to your room hours before.” Alexander interrupted, eyes still on that notebook. If I could strangle a man, I would. “All your lessons for the day have been canceled so you can go through that folder on the Anderson family. We wouldn’t want you to make any… mistakes. People take note of that. People get killed because of tha

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Never be a better sister

    JANICEMarry Tam?I couldn’t believe I just agreed to get married to Thomas Anderson, a.k.a Tam, my tutor—whom I knew nothing about. And bear an heir because that was the only way I could make my so-called father happy enough to let them go.It was the right thing to do… it was the only thing to do, given the situation.“Janice, darling, you can’t do that…”“Over my dead body!”“If you think I’d let you do that, you must be mistaken. Janice…”I felt the light brush of Calder’s fingers at the edge of my elbow—the last physical attempt to stop me but it was too late. I walked straight to the other side of the room, doing my best not to flinch when Tam wrapped his arm around my shoulder, holding me in place. His nasty cologne enveloped me, almost choking me with the harsh scent. It was the right thing to do. I wasn’t going to let them get hurt.“Please… please just go.”All I could do was watch as four of Alexander’s burly and sour looking men marched behind them at the tilt of their lea

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   I'll marry him

    JANICELying was an art form everyone must learn at a certain point in their life if they wanted to survive in this cursed world. “Everyone lies, Miss Kane,” Tam had said just this morning. He remained at the other end of the room, eyes stubbornly fixed on the books in front of him. “Everyone will lie to you whenever they feel like or just because they can. You’d be nothing but a fool if you choose to believe every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes your way.”How could I have been so foolish? The fucking prick was talking about himself.There he was now, standing beside Alexander. “I must admit, I’m impressed with the performance. But did you really think I wouldn’t see my daughter betraying me for you coming, Lucian.” He fixed his eyes on mine. “It’s amusing but annoying. All that scheming and plotting for these men. They’re old enough to be your fathers, Janice.”That didn’t matter.“I…” I started, mouth opening and closing as I struggled to get the rest of the words out. Not like it

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Caught

    LUCIANTrust no one.My father fucking loved that saying. And when it came to a world like ours, that was the best advice to receive and listen to.I honestly wished I listened to it more often.For the past week, Calder had become our lifeline. Not because Aiden and I didn’t want to—we needed to hear her voice badly—but simply because Calder loved doing this and we couldn’t bear to take it away from him.Every evening he would relay fresh information from Janice using the burner phone he had gotten for her—guard shift changes, Elias condition, the layout of this hidden basement if she wouldn’t be able to help us, and how Alexander was growing suspicious of her constant stalling.Apparently, she had told Alexander she wanted to kill Elias to get her revenge on me, because I wanted to kill her. An entire roller coaster. Her constant delay could only mean something was wrong. Alexander did not rise to the top of his career by being a fool.If he discovered her betrayal, that man might n

    JANICEThe office's kitchen was one of the best places in this building. Their coffee machine was to die for.The aroma of the fresh brew filled the space as I poured myself a generous cup, adding just enough cream to turn it into the color of caramel. Ughhh... I really needed it.Nancy had kept m

    JANICEAll I wanted was a quiet afternoon after the long morning I had, listening to Aiden talk with his investors during their call.Was that too much to ask?Because few minutes to the end of two o'clock saw Calder striding into my office without a knock, like he owned the place. Well, technicall

    JANICEOnce again, I had to stare at spreadsheets.I stared at this particular one until the numbers blurred together. My eyes burned. I’d been back at the office for three days, and it already felt like the vacation had happened in another lifetime.So my body was here, clicking through emails and

    LUCIANThe private cinema room was the perfect place for discretion. With the soft ambient lighting cinema, deep reclining seats arranged in tiers, and a massive screen that took over the other side of the wall.Nancy had chosen an animated movie that had a lot of singing and dancing animals, filli
