Ariana's POV

“Really? How long do you think it will be before he's back?” My heart raced as she tilted her head, clearly calculating the time.

“He's mostly out for an hour or two. Is there anything you want, ma'am?”

Beautiful. This is all I wanted. A moment of freedom.

“I was going to ask Maxwell to take me to a cafe around here,” I lied.

“He left with Sjr, but….

Maryjane’s expression brightened.

“I'll go to one to get more bread in the kitchen.”

My eyes lit up in excitement.

“We should go together.” I offered, and she agreed.

Since Gideon didn't give a direct order for bodyguards to accompany me, both Maryjane and I got the liberty to pick a less intimidating guard to drive us.

The guy didn't seem like he belonged in Gideon's little web of soldiers, so he was the right prey.

The moment we were dropped off, I sent Liam the address, and Maryjane went off to buy the supplies.

While I waited for him, my phone beeped, and I flinched before checking the caller ID to realize it's Zoey.

  • Kiss Me Where It Hurts   He’s boring

    Ariana's POV I almost jumped out of my skin as Mom's voice cuts through the air. Releasing Gideon, my entire body trembled as the realization hit.I just hugged him. A rush of emotions ran through me and I lost my guard. That must be it. “Mom.” I muttered, stepping away from Gideon.Her eyes burned with disapproval as I met them. “I heard how you caused a scene because of that silly job offer.” She said, when she looked at Gideon, her stare softened. “You're causing your dad so much trouble, and this isn't how I raised you, dear.” She moved closer, holding my arm, but her nails dug into my skin, and I winced silently. She was hurting me, but it looked like she was bringing me closer to herself. At least in Gideon's eyes. Leaning in, she says. “Didn't I warn you not to start any drama?” “You're making Mommy mad, and you'll get hurt.” I sink my teeth into my lower lip, swallowing the sting in my skin before Gideon's voice fills the air. “It wasn't any trouble. At least n

  • Kiss Me Where It Hurts   Approval letter

    Gideon's POV She flinched but quickly got into the car.Since I hacked into her phone, with the help of a tech genius, Benny, whom I disguised as one of my bodyguards, I had access to all her messages.On the outside the bastard was doing a really good job at convincing her she got the job solely on her merit, applauding her resume as impressive.But I knew the hospital management was not receiving job applications since they recently dissolved their HR team over fraudulent charges.Being part of major shareholders in most hospital facilities, I got firsthand information about these things from Hudson.So who was the fucker to put my little angel on a payroll, and what was he scheming?“If you were patient enough, I'd have put you in a job as the main shrink at one of my friend's establishments.”“It’s worth more this petty job.”Her eyes widened at me.“You have friends?” The shock in her expression made a smile tug on the corner of my lips.She must think I'm some lone monster or

  • Kiss Me Where It Hurts   Gaunt

    Gideon's POV “Go up to your room.” I said, ignoring her words but she freed herself from my arms roughly, her hair whipped all over her face as she faced me.“Well, if you're pretending to be a saint then I'll find it myself.” Pain etched her features as I met her gaze.“I can't stand this kind of life. With you and Mom.” She sniffled.“Why won't you guys let me live a little?” Her question tore through a part of my chest tore at the tightness in her voice.Shit, she really meant that.Taking a few steps towards her, she backed away.When she tried to walk past me, in the direction of my office, I caught her wrist, pulling her back.Despite barely using much effort, she slammed against my chest and squeak.“Ouch!”“Please, Malyshka, don't push me and just do what I said.” She stops to stare at me, her eyes red and swollen, before saying,“Ok, just let go of me.*I watched her lips move as she pressed them together, blocking out any sound then I released her gently.Immediately, she

  • Kiss Me Where It Hurts   Caught up

    Gideon's POV I watched her face pale as our eyes met, but I looked away.Taking out a pack of cigarettes from my breast pocket, I slipped one out and lit it up with my free hand.“Let's go.” I ordered Maxwell, who nodded curtly before wheeling out of the driveway.Taking a long drag, I wound down the window before puffing into the cold air.Fuck, I needed a restraint in my system to stop myself from stepping out of the car to plant one glorious bullet in the head of that fucker.And I didn't want to look at her for too long lest I lose the last thread of sanity holding me just to bring that bastard home.Even if that home was hell itself.“I warned you to stay away from him, didn’t I?” I asked, balls of puffs rolling off my mouth with every breath I took.I opened the windows so I don't suffocate her with the smoke because it'll do me great pleasure to suffocate her with my hands instead.Shit, why was she making me have these wicked thoughts?“But what has he done wrong? He's just a

  • Kiss Me Where It Hurts   Crazy psycho

    Ariana's POV My eyes flew shut as I waited for the impact on my neck. Saliva gathered in my mouth due to how tight he was holding me by the neck. Then I felt his hot, wet lips pressed against my forehead, and a sense of disappointment washed over me. Gosh, I wasn't supposed to feel this way when this brutal man was almost choking me like a sadist, but I did. Releasing his grip on me, I watched a smirk play on his lips as he checked me out. “The earlier you know it’s a bad idea to keep the truth from me, the better.” “I won't warn you not to go against me, but there'd be a price to pay.” My breathing was ragged, and I coughed hard when he finally freed me. “You almost killed me, you monster.” I murmured, my hand rubbing on the sore spot he left on my neck as pain tore through my chest with coughs. I didn't realize he'd moved until he came back with a glass of water, bringing it to my lips. “Drink up. It'll ease the cough.” Feeling the peppery substance in my eyelids, I gl
