The Black Rose Chapter Thirty Four - You're An Asshole
ELLIELunch. He said the word like some entitled brat who just got off tormenting others. I didn't let my annoyance show as I worked in the kitchen, I kept to myself, gathering up ingredients and chopping vegetables as he sat on the opposite side of the counter, watching my every move like a hawk. A heavy, uncomfortable silence descended and I could've sworn I saw his lips curled up at some point, as though he enjoyed watching me stand there, working, uncomfortable under his unrelenting scrutiny. Jesus. He was a fucking creep. An attractive creep with the most compelling voice. Right. There it was. The whore in me was beginning to act up again. I had no doubt I was probably ovulating because that was the only explanation for my constant inappropriate thoughts towards men I shouldn't even like. "You'll break the chopping board if you hit it any harder," Silas mused, his hands reaching for mine over the counter. I instantly reacted, holding up the knife and smacking his hand awa
The Black Rose Chapter Thirty Three - Lunch
ELLIE*Nikolai: I have a special gift, just for you, little dove. Do you trust me?*I stared long and hard at the text, glaring at each letter as my phone barely stayed in my clammy grip. It took longer than five minutes before my fingers would stop trembling. *Me: What do you want from me?**Nikolai: Leave the Black Rose, don't get caught in the cross fire*Another buzz. *I can help you out of there* Nikolai added and I locked my phone, my breath hitching in my throat. The nerve of the bastard! He confessed to killing my brother and now he acts as though he has my best interests at heart. Does every criminal in Italy feel this self righteous? He can help me out of here? What makes him think I need his help? I should tell someone. But who would be willing to listen? Lorenzo and I...were kind of not on talking terms and Silas would probably call me a mole and bury a bullet in my skull the second he read these messages. My phone buzzed again. *Nikolai: I can protect you better
The Black Rose Chapter Thirty Two - Fucked
SILASInfuriating, that's what she was. The sight of her infuriated me, the sound of her footsteps, her voice, the sight of her skin, her hair. I had no reason to be, but I was. And now, her lips. They were soft beneath my fingers, softer than cotton. I don't know why I touched them, I don't know why I touched her. I'd decided she was off limits since the moment she stepped in, despite how badly I wanted her. I couldn't have her.I couldn't trust her. Even more so after I saw her kissing Enzo. Shit. I walked out of the house with my bowl of strawberries, heading to our club to iron out a few creases. After that night with Nikolai's men filling up the VIP room and pointing their guns at us, the employees had become restless and were slowly losing trust in our power. This was expected, after everything that had happened in the past few weeks, but aside from Elijah's death, rumors were spreading about our 'fear' of Nikolai. He goes around, bragging about being Elijah's killer,
The Black Rose Chapter Thirty One - In That Dress
ELLIE I went completely still, eyes meeting deadly brown orbs that seemed to see through my every thought x I felt naked under his stare. I could feel my cheeks burning, could still taste strawberry juice on my lips where Silas had touched me. My heart was hammering so hard I was sure both men could hear it."No," I managed to say, my voice coming out smaller than I intended. "I was just... cooking."Lorenzo's eyes moved between Silas and me, taking in the scene. Silas still held the wooden spoon, his knuckles white where he gripped it. I was pressed back against the sink, probably looking guilty as hell.Silas shrugged, like the moment didn't just happen. "It smells incredible," Lorenzo said finally, stepping further into the kitchen. His voice was carefully neutral, but I could see something dark flickering in his eyes as he looked at his friend. I busied myself with plating the food, desperate for something to do with my hands. "It's just beef stew. Nothing fancy."But when I se
The Black Rose Chapter Thirty - Am I Interrupting?
ELLIEIt had officially been two weeks since I stepped foot in Italy, since my life was turned upside down and I'd decided to stay back, for my brother. Unfortunately, there was no progress. Or rather, after that night, that moment between Lorenzo and I...it almost seemed as though he was avoiding me. He always kept himself locked up in his study, still watching over me like a hawk. I wasn't allowed to leave, and he didn't leave either unless it was necessary. But he hadn't looked me in the eyes since that night. Silas only spent mornings in the house, eating breakfast, conversing with Fiore and then leaving without a word and Noir? I hadn't seen him since. Something told me he wasn't in the basement, beheading someone at his leisure but I had no way to prove it. No one said anything about his absence and curious as I was to ask, I was too busy trying to get Lorenzo to tell me something, anything about the situation with Nikolai. But the past few days had passed by with uncomf
The Black Rose Chapter Twenty Nine - In Trouble
ELLIEThe drive back home was quiet, too quiet. So quiet that I could hear every inhale from him, every exhale that left him.The party had been unlike anything I'd ever experienced and I had no intention of ever willingly attending such an event again.As Lorenzo had instructed, I ignored Nikolai's presence, though it had taken every ounce of self-control I possessed. Every time I caught a glimpse of him across the room, my hands would shake with the urge to march over there and demand answers. To scream at him about Elijah, about the pain he'd caused.But I didn't. I stayed glued to Lorenzo's side like the good little accessory he'd wanted me to be.The memory of those people, those conversations, made my stomach churn all over again. Human trafficking. Underground fighting rings. Murder for hire. And they'd discussed it all like they were talking about stock portfolios or vacation plans.These were the people Lorenzo associated with. The world he lived in.The world I was apparentl
