LOGINThis book is officially over. I can't believe I finished it. There were times I wanted to give up. Times I did at some point, but for some reason, I always found the energy to push through. I want to thank everyone who gave this book a chance. Without you, this book wouldn't be as successful as it
“Nikolai, I- ouch” She takes a step towards me and then stops, her face twisting into a grimace. I'm at her side in an instant, my hands around her shoulder, steadying her, “What's wrong?” I ask, my gaze scanning her carefully. My eyes land on the thin ragged line on her knee. The edges are raw, a
To be honest I wouldn't blame her if she did. She’d just seen me torture information out of a man. A man who deserves every bit of pain I dished out to him and more but still. Ava wasn’t used to this. She wasn’t used to seeing other people suffer. I was. I thought I could shield her from the darknes

The drawing is far from perfect, but it's perfect enough to make Kira smile, and that's enough for me. “Do you think Papa will like it?” I smile softly, brushing a strand of her dark hair away from her face. "I think your papa will love it.” Kira's smile brightens even more. The door to the
And for a while, his life was full. An arranged marriage contract was one he knew he could never get out of, and if he were to refuse, Sergais' version of generosity would be gone in an instant, and his lifeless body would be splattered all across the floor of this very study. His pulse thundered
“What about me?” “I don’t recall seeing you eat at the party either” I pick up the fork, and stab into strawberry flavoured goodness . The sweetness melts in my mouth as soon as it touches my tongue. It tastes absolutely divine and I let out an involuntary moan at the taste. When I open my eyes ag
“Out like a light,” He replies softly and I feel his fingers trace lightly on the back of my neck as he gently pushes my hair over my shoulder. Now, that was most definitely more than a brush. “I want to thank you,” he murmurs, finger dipping low. I glance over my shoulders at him, “Thank me? For
Ava When my phone chimes in my pocket, alerting me of a notification three days later, my entire body goes numb as I stare at the words on my screen that seem to drown out the careless chatter all around the hallway. It’s a text. But it’s not just any text, no, it’s the kind of text you don’t exp
