LOGINTHE STALKER
~~~ I stand in the shadows, watching my Adriana lean in and kiss her boyfriend. My blood boils with rage when the bastard grabs and squeezes her ass before letting her go. I want to break those filthy hands of his. I want to rip out his heart for daring to put his fucking hands on my woman. I turn away and take a deep breath to calm myself. If my anger blows out of proportion, I will hunt down that cheating bastard and murder him. I wait until the loser leaves before I scale the high wall surrounding the villa. It's completely easy, especially with my martial art agility. Perched on top of the wall, I push a button on my watch to disable the CCTV cameras mounted all over the villa. It's how I've been creeping into her home without being detected. When I'm sure it's off, I jump over the wall and silently walk through the grove towards her bedroom. My Adriana is so naive and innocent. She doesn't wonder how I come into her home without getting detected. And I know she didn't tell her parents about the incident at the abandoned Park. The fact that she didn't let her parents know about me is amusing. I know my girl enjoys being watched. She waits for me every night, sitting by her window and staring out longingly. Such a brave, little rabbit. It's what makes her so appealing. I usually don't have time for women. I can get a good fuck whenever I want. I only have to make a phone call. But when I saw Adriana step out from her home for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the lust that slammed into me. I knew at that moment that I wanted her, and I would get her. My Adriana is fucking beautiful. A twenty-something-year-old college student, hot and sexy as hell. Her figure is to die for. The first day I saw her, she had on a tight fitting black gown, moulded perfectly to her curvy figure. That gown had been pure sin, showing off her long legs and creamy thighs. I almost went crazy when she turned and I had a perfect view of her curvy hips and ass. She was a total package, and my blood roared with lust. I wanted her at that moment. When I set my eyes on something I want, I go for it, no matter what it takes. And Adriana is what I want. She has crawled beneath my skin, taken over my thoughts and wrapped me around her pretty little fingers. I see her as mine already, and I will murder anyone who dares to take her away from me. She can have her fun with her little boyfriend, as long as he doesn't try to touch her. Hours ago when he came begging and tried to touch her, I had to stop myself from barging in and ripping his head off. Luckily for him, her twin brother had interrupted. My Adriana thinks she's in love with him, but she's wrong. The bastard manipulates her and makes her feel worthless. She deserves so much better. But all that will change soon. She will know soon enough that she belongs to me. The fact that she didn't tell her parents about me already means she's falling under my charm. She just doesn't know it yet. I step through the grove and stop at the edge, letting the shadows cloak me. She's at her window again, staring straight at me. I know she can't see me, but she can feel my presence. I pull up my mask and step out of the shadows. Her eyes widen with surprise, and her lips part on a silent gasp. I know her heart is pounding heavily. I can tell just by looking at her. Her lips are painted a cherry red, and they are fucking enticing. I want to taste her. I want to feel her melt beneath me. I want to feel her tremble to my touch. I step further towards her room until I'm standing directly before her window. This is the closest I've ever been. I'm not worried someone will find me because I know her family's routine. Her parents are not home. Her siblings are probably in the living room. She's all alone in her room. I make a bold move and step even closer. The only thing separating us now is the glass. Her eyes are filled with curiosity, with a hint of wariness. But there's not a single sign of fear. Even after I chased her at the abandoned Park, she still isn't scared of me. Good girl. She lifts her hand suddenly and places it on the glass. She doesn't say a word. She just watches me, waiting to see what I will do. Slowly, I lift my hand and place it on the glass, on the same spot as hers. For a long minute, we stare at each other. She doesn't take her hand away, and neither do I. Suddenly she starts to open the window. I can't let her do that. I shake my head once, and she stops. Her lips move as she mouths something to me, but I can't hear her. I shake my head again, allowing my eyes lower down her body. Her shorts clings to those long legs of hers. Her crop top barely manages to conceal her nipples. Those hard peaks are right in front of me, straining for my touch. I jerk away abruptly before I lose control. She jerks back also, and I can tell I startled her. I need to leave. My cock is fucking hard. I'll lose control if I remain there. I step away from the window slowly. Her eyes are still on me, watching me back away. It seems she doesn't want me to leave. But I have to. I turn and disappear into the grove. When I'm out of the villa, I turn on the cameras again and walk back to my car without a backward glance. The estate is totally silent. The stormy weather has driven everyone into their homes. I manage to make it back to my car which is parked a safe distance away. Once I'm in, I lock the door, free my cock and barely touch myself before I'm cumming straight into my hands, groaning savagely. The thought of my Adriana dressed in those sexy shorts is enough to give me a fucking orgasm. When I'm spent, I grab a wad of tissue from the glove compartment and wipe my hands. Then I pull out my phone and dial a number. Desmond, my trusted assistant, picks on the first ring. "It's me." I mutter. "Don Caesar has been trying to reach you. He's furious." Desmond's voice sounds worried from the other end. "I've been busy." I try not to snap at him. He's only doing his job. "Is he there?" "Sì." "Hand him the phone." I wait patiently until I hear Caesar's gruff voice. "I need good news, Dee." He growls from the other end. "Signòre." I say respectfully. "I have the documents ready. And every last one of the Bianchi family is dead." "Then what the fuck is this delay?" Caesar snarls. "My apologies, signòre." I return. "The boys and I were held up by some inconveniences, but it has all been resolved." "Let them handle it. I have another important job for you. It has to do with the Marino family." My entire body freezes with shock. That is Adriana's family. "What about them?" I ask casually, even though my anxiety is rising already. "Drive back to base immediately. I will give you the details." "On my way." I reply and the line goes dead. I can't concentrate anymore. What does Caesar want with Adriana's family?NICK~~~"Who exactly did you pay to push you into the road?" I ask with a clear, cold voice. Ryan's expression cracks for a moment, revealing the fear underneath. "I don't know what you're talking about." He says, looking away. "Cut the bullshit, Ryan." I snarl. "I don't believe the crap you told Adriana. You and I know you weren't distracted." I step towards the side of the bed and lean over him, until my face is inches away from his. His eyes flicker with fear, the same fear that has always been constant between us. Ryan had always been scared of me. Even before Amelia was born, when things were not so messed up, he held a kind of respect/fear for me. The fear only drowned out the respect after Amelia's death. I grab his arm suddenly, my fingers digging into his flesh. "Answer me, Ryan!" I yell. "Who pushed you onto the road?" "You're fucking insane!" He snarls back. "Let me go or I'll call the nurse." "Go on, call them. I'm sure they'll like to dig into what really happe
NICK~~~I scoff in annoyance. "I'm the reason you're in here? Grow up, Ryan! It's time you stopped blaming me for every shit that goes down in your messed up life.""You caused this, Nick!" Ryan yells at me. "If you hadn't taken Adriana away from me, this wouldn't have happened.""Ryan, stop it!" Adriana snaps. "Stop blaming Nick for what happened. You messed up. You hurt me...""And you had to date my brother?" Ryan's voice shakes as he argues back. "I wouldn't have cared if you dated someone else. But my brother?"I step towards the bed suddenly, and my sudden move startles both Adriana and Ryan. I lean forward and grip the railings. "You have no fucking business with who she dates. You pushed her right into my arms. So stop acting like you're the bloody victim."Ryan's face turns red with rage. Good. It's exactly what I aimed for. "GET OUT!" He screams. "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!""With pleasure." I storm out of the room, ignoring Adriana as she calls out my name. This was a mistake.
ADRIANA ~~~ Nick drives as fast as he can to St. Martin hospital, while I clutch the seat tightly. The words of the nurse who called rings in my head repeatedly, making me wonder just how hurt Ryan is. Somewhere at the back of my mind, a tiny voice blames me for everything. Maybe if I hadn't cut off Ryan completely, this wouldn't have happened. I try not to dwell much on that voice, but it becomes so loud in my head, driving me to the point of screaming. Nick touches my hand suddenly, jerking me out of my thoughts. I look over at him, and that's when I realize that I'm gripping the arm of the seat tightly. "Are you okay?" He asks. His voice is tinged with worry, and even though he's trying not to show it, I know he's in a state of panic too. Ryan is his brother after all. Despite the enmity between them, it's obvious Nick cares for him. "I just feel guilty." I say softly. He takes my hand and lifts it to his lips. "You have no reason to feel guilty." "Oh but I do, Nick."
ADRIANA~~~The other customers in the shop are staring openly at us now, and one guy at the back brings out his phone to record. I try to get Nick's attention, but his gaze is pinned on Hunter, who is also glaring at him."Get out of my way!" Hunter snarls. "Put your hands on her again and you're dead." Nick retorts. "Nick, let's just go." I pull him towards me, but it's like straining against a brick wall. He's unmovable. "Hunter, behave yourself." Caesar intervenes quickly, pulling Hunter away. But Hunter isn't ready to back off. He takes a step further until his nose is almost touching Nick's. "What did you say?" He mutters. Nick glares down at him, refusing to back off too. "Put your hands on her again," He repeats coldly. "And I'll kill you."Hunter curls his hands into fists, and I realize that he's going to punch Nick. As he lifts his hand, Caesar grabs him and pulls him away. "We're leaving. Now!" He orders. The shop's manager rushes towards us at that moment, a sho
ADRIANA~~~I sit stiffly as Caesar's friend walks over to our table with a wide smile. I stare at him warily, instantly feeling a twinge of distrust within. I've always been good at reading people's aura, and I know instantly that this man is dangerous. He lowers into the chair beside me and shakes Caesar's hand. "Glad you could join us, Hunter." Caesar smiles as he pulls back. "Glad to be here." Hunter glances at me. "And who's the lovely lady?" "This is Miss Marino." Caesar introduces me casually. "One of the interns at the hospital. My assistant. Adriana, this is Hunter. He's a doctor too.""A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hunter." I murmur. "Good heavens." Hunter exclaims. He takes my hand, making me feel extremely uncomfortable. "You are a beauty, Miss Marino. Please, call me Hunter."I don't bother smiling as I pull my hand out of his grip. I still don't get the point of this outing. "Hunter is a good friend of mine." Caesar continues. "He's in the mafia too, just like your
ADRIANA~~~ A few changes have been made in Doctor Caesar's office. Dark photographs line the walls, which is unlike what a doctor would normally decorate his office with. The chairs have been changed too. From brown velvet to black leather. Yeah. Really strange for a doctor. I head towards the seat meant for visitors, but Caesar shakes his head. "Over here." He gestures to the couch in the corner. "The next few minutes won't be professional, if you know what I mean."I have no idea what he means, but I nod and walk over to the couch. I perch at the edge, my knees pressed together, my hands clasped tightly. Caesar moves over to the cabinet beside his desk and picks up a bottle of wine. He grabs two glasses and comes back to the couch, sitting beside me. "Are you nervous?" He asks suddenly. I swallow and shake my head. "No."Even as he pours the wine, he stares at me, that same focused, unnerving stare. "You have nothing to be nervous about, Miss Marino. I just want to know mor
