He stepped out of the building, squaring his shoulders and hands in his pockets as his eyes scanned the line of vehicles waiting across the curb.

The golden sun had almost disappeared, and the paparazzi weren’t crowding the place anymore, except a young man across the street, holding a beat-up camera bag and wearing thick-rimmed glasses, who made the mistake of looking up. But one glance at Rapha’s face and he dropped his gaze immediately. Whatever ambition had driven him, evaporated that instant.

For a moment, Raphael just stood there.

His Mercedes Maybach was parked where it always was except for the one car missing. Silas’s. Which meant Niya was gone.

When Silas took her, Rapha had hated him irrationally and baseless, but pure. Not because Silas did anything wrong. He was the one who got to drive her and speak to her and look at her while she was s

    Her palms scraped against the cool tiled floor as she froze an praying the ground would swallow her whole.She didn’t dare look up.But she heard the deep exhale from above her. “Angel,” Rapha drawled, “you always greet people like this, or am I just special today?”Niya groaned into the floor, her arms now hugging each other. “Oh my God… kill me. Just do it. Right now.”He bent low, hands on his knees. “Tempting offer. But I’m a sucker for theatrics. You might enjoy it too much.”Her face burned hotter than the Sahara, and she peeked up slowly to see him towering above her like a sculpture wrapped in a thousand-dollar suit – fine guess. That crooked smirk was already perched on his lips.“You said you’d review the reports?” she mumbled, deflecting.“Kade will.” He crouched, eyes level with hers. “And you interrupted me mid-billionaire moment. I’ll be sending you the invoice.”She pushed herself to her knees. “You could’ve warned me you were in a meeting.”“You barged in ranting abou

  • TWO LIVES - Shattered Illusion    CHAPTER 55: He’s a monster.

    There was a fluttering in his chest that disturbed him more than her beauty ever could. For a moment, Raphael had softened.But he brushed it off immediately.He liked her, yes, and that was all it was – an interest in everything about her. That’s it.His eyes dropped to her breasts, barely held in place by the delicate brassiere that had slid halfway off. They threatened to escape, taunting him like they always did when she bent forward or shook her body while she spoke.He swallowed.His member ached for this woman. He'd ached for her body ever since the day she first walked into Vantablack. There was something about the way she looked at the world and challenged things she didn’t understand. The way her mouth moved when she was pissed, and he wanted to destroy her in ways that would make her love the ruin.She controlled him from the inside out without even trying. Fortunately, that didn’t piss him off because he believed it would end soon. Eventually.Hopefully.But that didn’t s

  • TWO LIVES - Shattered Illusion    CHAPTER 54: Her body to Him.

    He found her fast asleep, head slumped forward, half her body slung over the counter connected to the bar like an abandoned rag doll. The stool looked too tall for her frame, legs dangling, her cheek smushed against one palm, the other hand still loosely curled around nothing. The light danced on the little trail of drool, gleaming against the slope of her cheek.“What the fuck did she do?” Rapha muttered, already bracing for the worst. “Admire them open and then pass out?”But the moment he got close, the scent harassed his nostrils, and his gut tightened.Shit.His prized collection. He leaned in a little bit, every muscle locked in disbelief. The bottles were open but barely touched. Still, just a drop of the rare stuff could floor someone like her. Hell, even Kade stayed away from those on an empty stomach.Her cheek slid slightly in her sleep, the drool now perilously close to the corner of her lip. Her short front teeth peeked out, small and square like they didn’t belong in a

    Her hand was damp with sweat, hovering over the doorknob. She exhaled, wiped it against her thigh, then grabbed the metal and turned slowly.“Morning, sweetie,” Rosetta’s warm eyes locked on hers. “How’re you feeling?”As dam of relief flooded through Niya’s chest, and her shoulders dropped but her body still vibrated with nerves. “Oh. Um… better. I think.” “You look flushed,” Rosetta gave a soft chuckle, stepping back a little to give her space. “Did you sleep okay?”“Uh –” Niya's fingers caressed the back of her neck. “Y-yeah. I mean… I did. Sort of.”It wasn’t exactly a lie.“Well, I owe you an apology,” a little guilt threaded into Rosetta's tone. “I should’ve told you I don’t stay on property overnight. I didn’t mean to surprise you.”“It’s okay,” Niya brushed a piece of hair behind her ear. “I figured it out. Eventually.”“Well, I’m here now,” she offered, “and I’ve got a proper breakfast going out here. If you’re up for it, I’d love to have you join me. Or, if you’d rather tak

  • TWO LIVES - Shattered Illusion    CHAPTER 52: Someone touched me.

    She sat up slowly, one hand bracing her temple. Pressure pulsed behind her eyes, and her throat felt lined with dust. The alcohol had done its job even if she only managed a few sips, it had dragged her into a blackout heavier than the sleep she so desperately needed. But how did she end up back here?Her arms stretched above her head, shaking out sleep, a wide yawn pushing through cracked lips. And then –She looked down.A shriek tore out of her mouth before she could stop it as she bolted upright, heartbeat leaping into her throat.Who touched her?Her hands moved restlessly over the shirt, then around her body, as if she’d find fingerprints lingering on her skin.Had Rosetta come in during the night? But DeMarco said she didn’t sleep here. Maybe she came in early. Maybe she thought Niya had passed out and wanted to help, maybe it wasn't meant to be invasive. Maybe Niya had changed hersel half-drunk and not fully conscious. But then where did the shirt come from?It hung loose ar
