last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-05-11 15:48:11

I woke up gasping for air. After sitting up, I quickly look at my surroundings. I'm in a concrete room. There's one window at the top of the back wall. I'm on a small mattress, but there's nothing else to be seen in here.

My purse is gone. I hold my breath reach into my ear. Thank god it is still in there. I frantically try to turn it on, but nothing.

Then I reach into my bra. All of that stuff is still there, but none of it is direct communication.

I'm on my own now.

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 65: The Difference Is Liam

    The ride back to the apartment was unusually quiet.Nat kept the music low, tapping his fingers against the steering wheel as the city lights blurred past the windows."You've been smiling for the last ten minutes," he finally said."I have not.""You definitely have."I rolled my eyes, trying and failing to hide the grin tugging at my lips."It was... different.""Good different?"I stared out the window."I don't know."Nat laughed softly."That's the most confusing answer I've ever heard.""Because it is confusing."He nodded as if he understood."I think you're comparing two completely different people."Maybe he was right.Javier had been confident, experienced, effortless. There had never been a moment where he hesitated.Liam...Liam overthought everything.He could spend an hour deciding where we should eat dinner and another apologizing if he thought he'd upset me. He remembered tiny details I had forgotten telling him. He always noticed when I was tired before I admitted it.

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 64:THE DEFINITION OF DESIRE

    "What was so special about me?" I ask, leaning back against the table as I wait for his answer.He pauses for a moment, pulling on his clothes before letting out a quiet sigh."I don't really know," he admits. "You're mature for your age, but there's still something youthful about you. You're smart. You're not fragile. And you're not scared."I raise an eyebrow."I get scared.""Sometimes," he says with a small smile. "But when it matters, you don't run. You get nervous, sure, but you're always prepared."A smile tugs at my lips, though he doesn't notice. He's too busy reaching for his turtleneck."I see why Liam likes you so much."The mention of Liam makes guilt twist in my stomach."Sorry about that again..."He waves the apology away."Don't be. It was interesting."I laugh softly and begin fixing my dress."So you'd maybe want to do this another time?"His footsteps move closer."Sure."I feel him gently zip up my dress."I won't be in New York as often," he continues, "but whene

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 63:HIS TO CLAIM

    I heard the door open, but I'm a bit taken back by who enters. Liam closes it behind him and comes over to me."Hey love." He grins."Hi...""Are you ok? I saw you absolutely owning my father." He jokes."Yeah I'm all good."He walks over and holds onto my hands in my lap."So, how does it feel to be fucking the Boss of the Italian mob?"I smile and look up at him. He has that look in his eyes. Surely enough, he kisses me intensely.I guess he doesn't know that Javier will be here any second. I try to pull away, but of course he doesn't let me. The door opens before I can warn him. At least that gets him to stop and turn around."Oh..." Liam mumbles."How long has this been going on?" Javier asks."A long time..." I admit."And when I was at your place?""I fucked her in that boxing ring the second you left." Liam says proudly. I wish he didn't put it like that, but strangely enough, I just want him more."So he knew?" He asks me.I stood up and walk closer to him."I'm sorry if you a

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 62:STANDING OVATION

    Many people laugh, but I'm just a little confused. I have no idea what he's about to say."But that phrase, it is embedded deeper in our history than you'd think. Julius Caesar...historic Roman born dictator who lead for five years before his assassination in 44 BC. You're probably wondering what this has to do with anything, because of course this was centuries ago... But perfidy, however, has been strategy for just as long."I actually know that word. It means betrayal..."You see, Julius Caesar was stabbed twenty three times by his own senators. You can't even begin to fathom the impression that degree of disloyalty would leave on you, especially on your death bed."Hayes looks at me, stunned, "Have you heard this?" He whispers.I slowly shake my head. I don't have to express how concerned I am for him to tell.I check out the table full of all our friends. Nat is the only one there who isn't impressed.There's just a proud smirk across his face."Of course, Julius Caesar didn't

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 61:INHERITANCE OF POWER

    I arrived on his fucking arm. My hand was rested on his suit jacket while we got beamed with curious eyes. A ballroom filled with hundreds awaited him. The girl on his arm was just a bonus.Each table is assigned to it's respective group, holding eight chairs for them. They're dressed with silky white cloth and elegant decor. Hints of gold make the room feel a lot more exquisite.An elevated stage is set up along the back wall.There's just a microphone on it, but it really doesn't need much else if that's what Liam will be displayed on.Dresses of all sorts of colors and fashions liven up the white. Most are much more beautiful than mine considering I just kept it simple. Of course my body was still taken note of as we entered. I did everything I could not to steal from Liam’s light.Mr. Luca put me at table 4, the one with our alliance leaders. I don't know if he sat me away from all of my friends out of spite, but I don't mind. I was able to have fun at their table beforehand anywa

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 60:BLOOD ON OUR HANDS

    That almost feels psychotic, but I guess it's just a scary phenomenon they face."Besides, isn't your fault. Nobody will put blame on you because you only own the place on paper. Jared is the face of it all." Nat says."I-I know. It's just the principle of it." I sniff."Are you ok?" Nat asks me.I gently shake my head, causing a tear to tall.He wipes my cheek with his pinky, the only finger not doused in blood. I take a few breaths and calm down."Where are we even going??" I ask after realizing this isn't the way home."The doctor we pay. They're in a private office so it will be lowkey. We can't take him into a hospital without them getting the police.""Okay." I say to convince myself it will be alright.We stay silent for a little longer trying to comprehend this nightmare."Why did you need the bullets?""We have a guy who can process them. We'll know more information about the gun, which can lead us to who did it.""Yeah but don't you know already??""I- I don't." He chokes.

    "Podría molestarte toda la noche..." He whispers.I could tease you all night..."Ahem." Someone coughs from the door.I practically jump out of my skin once I noticeLiam lurking, but Javier is calm."Terminaremos esto otro día."We'll finish this another day...Javier gets up and leaves me on the

    "Oh I have heard of the rumors, but of course that is all they are.""I'm sure we could step outside and see if they're true.""You would be making a mistake chica, I am twice your size." He warns me."I pretty much had Nicholas down, so I'm sure you'd be a piece of cake.""NicholasLuca? Can't say

  • LOVE ME OR BURN   CHAPTER 52:WORDS HE REGRETTED

    Liam and I are having a meeting with the other allies today at Javier's offices here in the city. It feels so strange to be considered the same level as all of the men I'm meeting with.
