LOGINLyla’s POVI slammed the door of the jeep behind me, then out my hair in a high bun. Xiomar came down slowly, a huge, pleased grin on his face even as I sulked in contempt.“Shut up,” I hissed, walking past him.“I said nothing,” he laughed. I heard the sound of gravel beneath his booths as he followed me into the house. The apartment was quiet except the sound of grunting I heard coming from behind a door.“There in the gym,” I announced, oshsi g the door open.Achilles and Emilio were shirtless, their upper body in display and they attacked each other. The smell of sweat and fighting filled the air and clung to their skin, the difference between Achilles tattoos and Emilio's pale scars causing quite a disruption in my panties.Yes, I was still fucking horny.“Don't pout, Lyla,” X said, smacking my ass. Achilles glanced at me, and Emilio moved quickly, throwing a right jab at his brother, clipping him in the jaw.“Ouch,” Achilles grunted, stepping backwards. “What did you do that for
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOURXimoar’s POV“What did you do?” Lyla's eyes bulged as Sienna dropped to the ground, her neck breaking with a sickening crunch.“I got rid of a problem that's what the fuck I did,” I hissed, blowing smoke away from my gun. “You would have been killed.”Lyla reached Sienna’s body, and she began to press, her eyes red. “I was trying to get her to talk to me,” she sobbed, lifting her head up. I could see how bloodshot her eyes were, but I couldn't care less.“You were crying over her, when she tried to kill you.”“Yeah, and she wouldn't,” blood stained her palms. I heard the sounds of a siren coming from below and I looked out the window. Sure enough, three police cars were speeding down the road.“We need to leave now, Lyla,” I hissed, dragging her away from the dead body.Lyla reluctantly gets on her feet, and then she follows me. “I hate you.”“That's all right, baby. You can hate me all you want, but right now, you need to move.”We ran down the st
Lyla “Good morning guys.”Three eyes landed on me at the same times. Emilio’s eyes widened, as he stood immediately while his brothers still stayed glued to their chairs. “Lyla,” X chuckled. “I cannot say I don't love the new look.”I smirked as I came downstairs. My hair was now a shirt crisp bob, the tips painted with red. It took me all night to achieve the colour and when I finally did, it looked radiant.“What do you think daddy?”Achilles grey eyes met mine. “It's different,” he said, resting backwards on his chair. “Very daring.” I nodded and sat down in the empty seat facing them. “I figured it's time I change,” I said. “So much has happened to me, and I no longer feel like the naive Lyla that was unaware of the world.”Emilio sat back down. “I love it,” he grinned. “Thank you.”X rolled his eyes. “It's too short.” “It'll grow.” “You could have asked us for help you know,” he grunted, pushing the food on his plate. “Well someone is grumpy,” I laughed. “He has to go look for Si

rlm fell into a deathly silence. “Sorry,” he chuckled. “Can't do that.” “Achilles,” I rolled my eyes at the pussy, “I need to do this.” Achilles studied me silently, then nodded. I took the phone from Isaiah, and dialed the digits I had learnt since I was 10. The phone rang for a second, then clicked. “Hello?” I listened to my father's heavy breathing, my throat closing up. This man, despite all of his flaws had been a very reasonable man. Until he let greed take a hold of him. “Hello, father.” Lyla Isaiah’s hands shook around the device as the rlm fell into a deathlyrlm fell into a deathly silence. “Sorry,” he chuckled. “Can't do that.” “Achilles,” I rolled my eyes at the pussy, “I need to do this.” Achilles studied me silently, then nodded.

The IV line hummed softly beside me, the cool drip working its way into my veins. Mrs. Wilkens was writing on her clipboard again, her pen scratching quietly against the paper. I watched her from the corner of my eye, my body heavy against the mattress, too weak to sit up.Emilio hadn’t moved from
Lyla’s POV“Emilio,” I gasped loudly, crashing into him. His muscular arms wrapped around my waist, as strong as ever. “Emilio,” I cried again.“Little bird,” he said roughly in my ears. “You flew away from me.”“I did not,” I cried, holding him closer. “I did not, I was so scared.”“Shhh,” he kiss
Lyla's POVMy feet hurt. The heels Madam Celeste made me wear were too high, causing my entire calves and my already smarting ankle to hurt more. I stood straight though, aware of her presence behind me.The velvet curtain brushed against my shoulder as I stood trembling in the narrow passage, wait
The applause still rang in my ears when the velvet curtain dropped behind me. My legs trembled with each step, but the men who flanked me on either side didn’t care. Hands on my elbows, they pushed me down the narrow hall like I was cargo already purchased, not a woman still breathing, still trying
