Richard’s POV.

The guy cursed under loudly, and scrambled off into the shadows of the alley.

I turned back to Brenda, folding my arms across my chest.

“Bastard,” she numbled, leaning against the cold brick wall, her arms crossed, staring at me with a lazy, lopsided smirk. Her hair was a little messy.

I wonder how much she drank, I stared at her expressionlessly.

"Look at you," she slurred, her tone dripping with mockery and her expression dramatic

  • SWEETLY DANGEROUS    Chapter 42

    Brenda's POV.The sun was practically beaming through my opened curtains, filling my room with bright noon light. I stretched, kicked off my duvet, and let out a long sigh. It was a beautiful Saturday.My phone vibrated on the nightstand for the third time in ten minutes. I didn't even need to look to know who it was. Leonard.I sat up and picked up the phone. His text message popped up on my screen.“Hope you’re ready, beautiful. Taking you to the flagship store today. Get whatever you want on me.”I shook my head, a light chuckle escaping my lips. Leonard had been blowing up my phone for three straight weeks, begging for a single date. Leonard was a guy I met at a high-end lounge a month ago, he was flashy, loud, and constantly talking about his father's investments, his cars, and how much money he has. He wasn't entirely my type, a bit too over-the-top with his designer logos but today, I woke up feeling cheerful and wanted to go out, I haven't shopped since this holiday.So, why

    Laura's POV.Damian didn't wait for me to take his hand.When I stayed seated, staring at him with my arms crossed, he stepped closer. His dark shadow completely covered me. Before I could even pull back, he gripped the armrests of my chair, trapping me between his heavy frame and the mahogany wood.The close proximity hit me instantly, I tried to stifle a smirk coming on my cheeks."Silence, Laura?" Damian murmured, his low voice vibrating right next to my ear. "That's not like you.""I have nothing to say to you," I said, keeping my chin up even as my heart started pounding against my ribs. "The game is over.""The game is over," he agreed, his silver-gray eyes dropping to my mouth before locking back onto mine. "Now Rule Three starts."He reached out, his long fingers trailing lightly down the side of my neck, right over the pulse point that was already beating out of control. My skin tingled everywhere he touched. I hated how fast my body responded to him, how completely betrayin

    Laura's POV The large clock struck seven sharp. I didn't cower in the bedroom, instead I was prepared and even anticipating dinner time. I put on a dark red silk slip dress I had found in the closet. I left my hair loose over my shoulders, and walked into the dining room. Damian was already sitting at the head of the table. He had changed into a clean black dress shirt, unbuttoned at the top, looking relaxed and completely in control as usual. I sat down at the far end of the long mahogany table, crossing my legs and staring straight at Damian. Between us, a lavish three-course dinner sat under silver covers, smelling of seared steak and garlic butter. Damian poured two glasses of dark red wine, pushing one toward me across the dark wood. "Seven o'clock," Damian said, his low voice cutting through the quiet room. "Right on time, Laura." "I'm not here to eat your food, Damian," I said, ignoring the wine glass completely. "I'm here for my answers. Let's start this stupid game.

    Laura's POV."Because no matter which room you walk into," Damian whispered darkly, "you're still in my cage.”I didn't flinch when his thumb moved off my jaw, even though my face still burned where he touched me. I looked him dead in the eye and narrowed my gaze."A cage is still a cage, Damian," I retorted, picking up my fork and eating as if he wasn't standing right over me. For now, this food was the most important thing in the world."It doesn't matter how expensive the furniture is,” I mumbled with my mouth full of food.Damian didn't step back. He stood right beside my chair, watching me with that quiet, dangerous look he always had. A slow smirk played on his lips—the look he gives when he knows he's three steps ahead of everyone else."Which brings us to the rest of your stay," Damian said softly. He straightened up, put his hands in his pant pockets, and walked to the head of the table. He pulled out the big armchair and sat down."The rest of my stay?" I scoffed, my eyebrow

    Laura's POV.When my eyes finally opened, the sun was already high in the sky, spilling late-morning light through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the master bedroom.My body felt weighed down by exhaustion. Hours of uninterrupted, deep sleep had washed away the intense haze of the previous day, but my skin still felt hypersensitive, and my nerves were still on the edge. I pushed myself up on my elbows, the silk sheets sliding down my bare chest. The whole penthouse was quiet. I looked around the quiet room, feeling a bit of annoyance. I laid eyes on Damian.“There he is,” I mumbled to myself.He was sitting comfortably on the dark velvet sofa, one leg crossed casually over the other. He had already changed into a crisp, charcoal-gray shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms. In one hand, he held a large leather-bound book, in the other, a crystal glass filled with dark, ruby-red wine. He looked completely invested as if the big book in his hands was that interesting. I

  • SWEETLY DANGEROUS    Chapter 37.

    Laura's POV Damian leaned down, his face inches from mine, his breath warm against my cheek."Now," he whispered, glancing down at my hand beneath the sheets, "do you want to keep using your fingers, or do you want me to pick one out for you?”"I would pick option three," I snapped, refusing to break eye contact with him. "Option three is that you drop the sinister act, unlock that door, and let me go back home, psycho!" Damian didn't comment immediately. A slow, dark smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, his eyes gleaming with dangerous amusement as he rested one knee on the edge of the mattress."Is that so?" His voice was low. "And here I thought I was being a generous host.""You locked me in a golden prison because your big ego couldn't handle your assumptions," I spat, leaning forward slightly, letting my bare shoulders square against his imposing frame. The smirk on his lips infuriated me, he seemed pleased and happy to be here and I disliked that.“What is the rumour?” He
