The Debt #1 Criminal Love Series

Carina sat in the dimly lit room with her stomach in knots. She was told she would be having her dinner here. Why did her brother always manage to get involved in shady business? She had her guard up since she had been taken none too kindly from her new apartment, might she add. She wondered just what her brother had gotten himself into this time. It was always one thing or another. This time, she hoped her father could help sort it out because she did not want to stay in this house another minute. Marco, her brother, had said he was coming over to collect her but he was taking time.She heard a noise come from the other end of the room and she turned. That's when she saw him. The tall brooding male entered the room and it was like he dominated the whole area. She could feel his presence before he even covered the distance between them. She supposed this was ‘The Boss’ they kept mentioning.Soon as he came to her side, she voiced out what had been going through her mind. "What am I

Marco pulled into the estate. He got down from the BMW i8 and made his way to the front door. The house was surrounded by gun men. Was Ricardo going to really keep his sister away from him? He knew they wouldn't dare pull the trigger.Surely he thought Ricardo knew him better. He was a dangerous and very reseved man. No one dared Ricardo Silverio. Over the five years he had worked for Ricardo, he always hid his sister from this world he didn't want dangerous men like Ricardo to know his weakness. Marco just wondered why Ricardo decided to take his sister.He barged into the house he had gotten accoustumed to Paola. That was the first person he thought to look for. He knew he could coerce her into telling him where his sister was. He just hoped he wasn't too late."Paola." He said entering into the kitchen to see her clearing up."Como estás, Marco " How are you, Marco? She asked in her native language, smiling when she saw Marco. She was like a mother to all."Where is Ricardo?" Marco

No one had come to see Carina in the month she'd stayed in the boring estate. One month since she was abducted from her home. Marco had not even bothered to visit her. At least she was allowed to leave her room now, she was not kept as a prisoner but she knew to be in her room with the door locked by seven. She did not feel safe with the way the men looked at her. She feared all the strange men in the house especially Jose, the one who kidnapped her from her apartment. Carina sat in the garden quietly with her feet dipped in the lake. Hurt and shame. Those were the only emotions she felt since she woke up the next morning from that tragic event to find out that Ricardo had left the premises. She still didn't understand the point of him keeping her here if he wasn't going to be here. Why was her staying her so important and why had Marco not just paid this man already? She did not deserve this. More importantly, she had missed a month of work and she still has not been able to conta

"I can't continue to live in this place, Paola. Its suffocating. " Carina said to Paola. Paola moved around the kitchen making lunch. It’s been two weeks and Marco had left her without telling her when he would be back. " Trust me it will only get better. Ricardo is not a bad man. " Paola murmured trying to make her feel better, but it was not working. She had been here for over two months and she still could not see the bright side. 
My dreams are dead, they have been killed. There was no point of me moving out of my parents house in the first place, she thought to herself. "Paola, I don't know that. A man taking me from my house and stripping me of everything I have is not a good person. I didn't even get a choice in any of this whole mess,” she sulked. She had been sulking since Marco left. " Now come on darling. Don't cry over spilled milk. Why don't you have your lunch? You'll feel better,” She said as she placed a plate of grilled steak and salad in front of her. Carina red

Ricardo stared at Carina absentmindedly as he downed some of the scotch from his pocket bottle. She was beautiful, he noticed from the way the light from the moon shone on her face. She was fast asleep breathing softly with her plump lips slightly parted. He proceeded to unbutton his shirt as he contemplated getting in bed with her. He stood to his feet dropping his shirt. He only took 2 steps towards her when he remembered how she dismissed him earlier. A scowl made its way to his face as he sat back down and drank some more. He should never have brought her here in the first place. She was beginning to occupy his every thought and breath. He vividly remembered how he reacted when they had been viewing the mansion. He felt like killing every man that looked at her for more than a second. That was a first for him, previously he always liked the woman on his arm being the center of attention for men, but with Carina it was different. He ran his hand through his hair and took another
