LOGINMia walked up to the devil, and just fell into his arms.He hugged her dearly, spread kisses all over her face, and then pulled away gently to take a good look at her.“I missed you a lot today,” he said.“Tell me about it,” she groaned, pulling him along to the bed.He laid on his back, and she rested her head on his chest.“What have you been up to?” He asked, stroking her hair.“Mr Wolf made me talk to Katherina.”It took Luca a couple of seconds to remember that Mr Wolf was Dimitri, and Katherina was apparently the name of the girl they brought with them from Gazel.“How is she? Dimitri said she won't talk to anyone. Apparently, she's still in shock.”“Why didn't you tell me you didn't pull the trigger on Darien? That she did?” Mia asked.“I didn't see the point, to be honest. She's not going to take that burden. Either way, he was going to be killed.”“Yeah, I told her she has nothing to worry about. She killed a bad man, and that makes her a hero. She's scared of you, you know?”
“So Queenie, tell us how things are going between you and the boss,” Zee said instigatingly as they sat together to catch their breaths, after practice.“What's there to tell?” Mia laughed, hoping to play it off.“Well for starters, madam Olivia has left the castle because you stole her husband. Maybe we should start from there,” Grace said.Silence descended, the fun completely over.“Who is Olivia?” Katherina asked innocently.“Wonderful of you to ask, new girl. She was the boss' wife, until your sneaky little friend over here seduced and stole him from her. She lost her man, her marriage, and her home. Are you sure you want to be hanging around her?”“Shut the fuck up, Grace! Why are you so annoying?” Zee attacked.“I'm annoying for saying the truth? Just because I strip doesn't mean I have no morals. The queen you all take up for is nothing but a nasty, little slut!” Mia inhaled sharply, at the vile insult thrown her way. Everyone else's mouth dropped open in shock that Grace had
LUCA Every minute that passed, I checked my wristwatch.Dimitri and Niko were supposed to be back already.Twenty minutes ago, I was supposed to be at the verge of getting the response I needed more than anything at the moment.My phone rang, pushing me out of my state of restlessness.With a flash movement, I grabbed the phone from the table, and answered the call.“Diavolo?”From the voice alone, I knew who was speaking.“What do you want, Mathew?”“Rhys was out and about yesterday. I know you think the boy is an airhead who poses no serious threat to you, but I'd be careful if I was you. There is nothing as poisonous as a desperate man. And you have rendered him one.”“Mathew, do you have something direct to give me? I'd rather that than listen to your parables.”He laughed. “You are a stubborn man, Diavolo. But don't say I didn't warn you.”The call ended, and I let out a loud hiss. Rhys was the least of my problems.He was the kind of man to fall in line after being thrown a bon
MIA“So you feel better now?” I asked Katherina after we separated from the hug I hoped comforted her, even if it was only a little.“A bit. I'm still afraid though. I pulled that trigger. It doesn't matter that those guys intended to kill the man. I was the one who ended up pulling the trigger. What if they set me up? What if they say it's me when it's time for justice? I'm finished. I'm completely done!” Tears squeezed out of her pretty green eyes.“Oh don't say that, Katherina,” my hand went to her shoulders, and rubbed it gently. “Those guys are not like that. You never have to worry about them turning on you. If they were going to hurt you, wouldn't it have happened at the place they found you? What was the point in bringing you back with them if they wanted to hurt you, right?”“I don't know.” She bit her lips, her fingers still fidgeting.“Look, I'll let you in on a little secret.”She looked at me, albeit with a guarded look.“When I killed my abuser, the other guy was with me
MIAI walked out of my room, ready to spend a few hours at the sanctuary with the Angels, when I stumbled into Ms Bird Cager.“I was just about to knock,” she said in her usual, strict, nosey tone.“Hello, Ms Lena.”“Hello to you too, Mia. I see you are glowing.”“Really?” I smiled, but it didn't last because I was kinda unsure how to feel about Ms Bird cager complimenting me.“Yes. Just the way one usually shines after taking what isn't theirs. You've done well for yourself indeed.”I sighed on the inside. Of course the compliment was backhanded. I couldn't have expected anything different from someone like Ms Bird cager.“I don't remember taking anything that isn't mine. But you know what? I won't police whatever anyone wants to think. It was good seeing you, but I have to go now.”“You're not going to have any peace, you know that right?” She said before I could even walk a reasonable distance.I stopped, but didn't turn back to look at her. “Is that so?”“It's usually the case. Wh
Pedro Perez heard the doorbell, and froze for a second there.The only person who knew where he was staying was allegedly dead.It was one of two things. Either Darien Luxe wasn't actually dead, or he had been found.He waited, silently, holding his breath. Perhaps, it was just a mistake, that would soon be discovered by whoever was at the door.However, the doorbell sounded again, making him realize this was no mistake.As he arose, he grabbed his gun from the table, and slowly walked his way towards the door.Lowering his body a little, he looked through the tiny hole on the door, and saw someone that looked a bit familiar.“Mr Pedro?” The voice called out, and Pedro breathed out.He tucked the gun back into his pocket, before opening the door.“Mr Pedro,” Rhys said with a huge smile on his face.“Who are you? How do you know I live here?” He asked in his thick Italian accent.“Rhys.” He stretched his hand for a handshake.Pedro eyed his outstretched hand, trying to piece together w
LUCAI loved the look on Darien's face when I walked in for lunch hand in hand with Olivia.He looked like he had seen a ghost and I couldn't be more pleased I had that effect on him.We sat down, and lunch was served. Before we could begin, Rhys walked in.“Hello everyone.” He sat down with a stup
MIAI was the lady in red tonight in Pandemonium.My return announcement made the room tremble. Apparently, they had missed me.The dress I wore was a vintage red piece that showed more flesh than it covered.It was a night of sin from what I heard from Peach, and truly, no stone had been left unt
LUCAI returned to the room after dropping off the mugs to find Mia fast asleep on my bed.Relieved, I drew closer to the bed to stare at her.“So beautiful,” I whispered as I watched the rise and fall of her chest.My finger reached out to her face, and I stroked her soft skin.She made a tiny sou
LUCALev Oleg was just the man I needed to spread the tentacles of my island project.The very first time he walked into pandemonium, I was thrilled.In fact, I don't think I had ever been more thrilled.And now, he sat across from me, on his third cigarette in ten minutes like he was a freaking ch
