LilianaDr. Owens isn't anything like I expected. He's older, yes, but I pictured him as a crabby, gray-haired, balding doctor with a protruding belly. The man examining me is nothing like that. He's got to be in his mid to late forties with just a few gray hairs. He's got warm eyes and a kind smile. I wonder how he came about working for someone in Jarek's position.Jarek stands beside the exam table, not looking so happy. He keeps glaring at the doctor as he checks me vaginally. I notice the smirk on Dr. Owens's face when he catches one of Jarek's looks, and I can't help but grin.I grab Jarek's hand, making him look down at me. Smiling at him, I hope to reassure him that everything is okay; the good doctor isn't going to sweep me off my feet. By the gold band on his finger, I'm sure his wife would have something to say about it."Well, Lily, everything seems to look normal. You can go ahead and get dressed while I go check on those test results." Dr. Owens tosses his gloves in the

Jarek"She's so fucking frustrating! What more does she want from me? I've given Lily more than I've ever given any woman, and still, she fights me!"I'm sitting in a private booth at the Reformatory with Joey. I came here as soon as Lily stormed out of my office, which, looking at my watch, had been three hours ago. I don't typically drink more than a couple; I don't like being inebriated, but then I've never been in this position before.My best friend finds it amusing, which only pisses me off more. When a cute brunette comes bouncing up to me and offers me a lap dance, I don't think twice before waving her away. No matter how pissed off I am at her, my pauper is always at the forefront of my mind. Nobody holds a candle to her."What exactly did you tell her?" Joey asks. "I thought you two were getting along great lately."I hadn't wanted to go into detail with him when I first arrived, but now, I'm a blabbering fool. I've got liquid courage or some shit like that because I don't g

LilianaI haven't had a dream like that in a long while. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, or perhaps it's because of the fight with Jarek, but the nightmare came back. It's the one I always had of him chasing me from the school and right into traffic. I thought I was over it… I guess not.After our argument the day before, I came to my room, and as much as I tried not to—I cried. I'm not sure what to do anymore. Do I really want the contract that I'm forced to submit until the time I can leave, or do I tear it up and hope to live somewhat of a normal life here with Jarek. Can I be happy with him?He's here now, holding me and comforting me from my dream—well, he was until my words shattered the moment. Jarek hovers over me, his dark eyes boring into mine as he takes steadying breaths while gazing down.My pulse kicks up a notch, my own breathing turning shallow as I feel the heat of his stare burning into mine. It's hard to form a response with the way he's looking at me, but I push

JarekI've thought a lot since that night Liliana and I fought last. Joey told me I needed to do some kind of grand gesture, and although it took me a while to figure out what I should do, I found one. It doesn't matter that it helps me out in the process. All that matters is that it makes my pauper happy.Thinking back to that evening when she wanted to send leftovers to Sunset Avenue for her friends got me thinking. I had Jackson's help to find her two friends, and then it took a bit of convincing to get them to agree.It's not like I was just asking them to come visit. No, I offered them a job and living quarters here on the estate grounds. There's a two-bedroom cottage sitting empty at the back of the property, and after bringing in a crew to clean it up and get it ready, all it needed was someone to occupy it.Heidi and Fran would not only have a solid roof over their heads and a job, but they would also be close to their friend and could come and go as they pleased. Aside from h

LilianaI'm not sure what's going on. After my big surprise and finding my friends at the door, Jarek left me so I could visit with them privately. He came to find me as he was getting ready to leave, pulling me from the sitting room, where I had been catching up with Fran and Heidi.Closing the door behind us, Jarek pinned me to the wall and took possession of my mouth as if he were ravenous. I returned the kiss because—well—because I wanted to, and I wanted to thank him for bringing my friends here.The kiss was passionate—the most passionate kiss he's given me to date. It was nothing like the previous ones, and I responded to it. I raised my hands to cup his neck and put just as much effort into it as Jarek did. It was a lover's kiss—deep and meaningful, leaving me with many unanswered questions.When he finally released me, he cupped my face and said, "I've got to go. You will be a good girl and not go anywhere without Jackson and your friends, won't you? I need to know that you w

JarekWe've been here for three days and have yet to catch the fucker who came after me. Rossi never returned to his villa like he was scheduled to, which tells me he had a hand in it. He's the one who put out the hit.Meanwhile, Joey was discharged from the hospital the day after being admitted. The bullet got him in the side, just barely missing his liver and kidney. Another half of a centimeter and his liver would have gotten it. That was two days ago, and he's already up and moving around against my orders."Come on, Jarek. You know damn well that you wouldn't be able to sit still either if you were in my shoes," he says to me as we get into the back of the town car."It doesn't matter what the Don does, bambino!" Lonza growls from the front passenger seat. "You won't be much good to him if we get into a jam, will you?"Joey shrinks back just a little from getting chastised by his father, but that doesn't mean he will listen. I turn my head to look out the window so my friend doesn

LilianaIt's just after two in the afternoon. My friends and I are sitting around the outdoor pool, getting a little sun and chit-chatting when the sliding door opens, and out walks Jarek. My smile is genuine when I see him at first, but then it slowly drops as he stalks toward me.I can't take my eyes off his handsome face and powerful form as he closes in on us, his eyes focused solely on me. I faintly hear Fran saying something sarcastic, but my brain doesn't want to comprehend anything except the devil coming straight for me.Jarek stops in front of me, his dark eyes smoldering as they trace my bikini-clad figure. His voice cuts through the air, deep and commanding, like thunder rolling across the sky. "Excuse us, ladies," he says, his gaze never leaving mine. Lily and I have some catching up to do."He then bends down and scoops me up as if I weigh nothing at all. Turning, he walks back toward the house. I can hear Heidi giggling behind us."What are you doing, Jarek? I thought yo

JarekThe sun is going down, and I still have Liliana in my bed. I'm nowhere near being done with her. However, I'm allowing her to rest as I hold her in my arms.Her breaths come out in little whisps through her slightly parted lips as she sleeps. Her hair sticking to her face from sweating after the three rounds we have gone already. I probably should have had her shower, but I'm not ready to have her wash me off her body yet, even if I do plan on marking her again.When I hear her stomach growl, I curse inwardly, forgetting that she hasn't eaten. She must keep her strength up for what I have planned for tonight and for the baby.Reaching over to the nightstand, I grab my phone and text Jackson to bring us some dinner. Then, I snap a few pictures of Liliana sleeping. She looks so peaceful, like a beautiful dark angel. I've never met anyone like her. I'm not sure why I've been so infatuated with Liliana Sumner all these years, but I don't think it's going to change anytime too soon.

Liliana"Oh, Jarek…yes! Right there—God, that feels so good," I moan into my hand."Jesus, Lily, you're going to have me coming in my pants if you don't stop making those noises." Jarek pauses massaging my foot to chastise me."I can't help it; those hands of yours are amazing…"I've been on my feet all day, helping Fran and Heidi get things ready for the small baby shower they're throwing for me. They kept trying to shove me out of the kitchen, but I wasn't having it. I needed something to do, or I was going to go crazy.Jarek spent the morning and most of the afternoon at the office, and although the baby shower isn't until tomorrow, my friends wanted to get all the baking done today. I never knew that Fran could bake or decorate, but apparently, she worked in a bakery in her younger days, along with working at the Falcon clubs.We've all settled into a routine over the past few months. However, the fact that this Rossi guy hasn't contacted Jarek about his daughter still looms over
The Devil's Heir Chapter 60
Jarek"Rossi has arrived at his home back in Italy," Lonzo informs me over lunch.My underboss called, asking me to meet him because he had news about our little friend. Joseph Lonzo Sr. may not have had a beef with the Rossi Boss before, but now that he almost took Lonzo's son from him, he wants Rossi to pay dearly."Does he know we have his daughter?" I ask, lifting my glass of whiskey and taking a healthy sip.The restaurant where we meet for these particular meetings is private for the Elite in the city. Anywhere from doctors, lawyers, and corrupt businessmen, dine here when they don't want to be bothered. I have a special table at the back so we can see who enters at all times.There are only a handful of diners here at the moment, so it's pretty quiet. That's how I like it. It makes no difference how corrupt or upstanding the person is; I don't trust anyone. My top-tier men are the only ones I trust with my life.The smile on my underboss's face is all I need to know that he's u

LilianaWhen Jarek left, I was livid. Why wouldn't he take me with him? It happened to me—I should at least be there when he hands out Heath's punishment.A thought sprung to my mind… Jarek's going to kill Heath!I didn't hesitate. I went to Jarek's side of the bed, where I knew he kept one of his guns, and grabbed it. I hated what I was about to do, but I figured I'd just ask Jackson for forgiveness afterward. Thankfully, Fran and Heidi were nowhere around because although Fran would have cheered me on, she would have been pissed that I held Jackson at gunpoint.We all love Jackson; of course, I could never hurt him. I had removed the bullets, making sure the chamber was clear as well before I pointed it at him. I have a lot of makeup to do because I don't blame Jackson one bit for the silent treatment I've received since we left.No matter what Heath had done, I just didn't know if I could allow Jarek to kill him. He was my best friend at one time, and he had gone through some shit.
The Devil's Heir Chapter 58
JarekI had said it. I told Liliana that I loved her. I hadn't expected her to say it back, but it doesn't mean I didn't feel disappointed when she didn't. I did a despicable thing to her, and she's slowly forgiving me. I can't expect her to fall in love with me just because the sex is great. She will in time, as long as she stays and gives me the chance.I've spent the last few days with Lily, giving her my every moment, but I couldn't put off the inevitable any longer. As I walk into The Reformatory, the workers nod as I pass them, and I return their greeting with my own nod.I enter the basement, where we keep our cells, and am greeted by Frankie. He immediately unlocks the door to the hall leading to the cells."Have they given you any issue?"Frankie smirks, "Only when Joey comes and visits Zita Rossi."I narrow my eyes and ask, "Why is that?""Have you never heard those two go at it?" Frankie asks astonishingly."Un-fucking-believable! He knows better than to fuck the prisoners.
The Devil's Heir Chapter 57
LilianaMy prayers were answered—Jarek came for me. I lie here in my bed, where Jarek tucked me in after the shower I took once I finished soaking. Almost three days' worth of filth washed away, and now I can get some much-needed rest, or so I thought.I toss and turn, unable to fall asleep even though I'm exhausted. Sleeping on that cold cement floor had me waking up frequently. But that isn't the worst of it. It was the being down there all by myself. I don't want to be alone right now.Throwing the covers off me, I climb from the bed and go to the dresser to grab one of Jarek's t-shirts. I bring the collar to my nose and inhale the masculine scent that is all Jarek. It smells of sweet tobacco and leather, and it's becoming my favorite scent.Not caring about putting panties on, I pad over to the door and open it. The hallway is quiet, and the sconces on the walls are turned down to dim lighting. Taking the stairs down to the first floor, I turn to go to Jarek's office first; it's w
The Devil's Heir Chapter 56
JarekIt's dark by the time we get to the cabin. There are a few guards, because clearly, Carmen didn't think she would need more. The bitch probably thought she was in the clear. I ensured only my trusted men knew of my plan and who was involved.It's been a long time since I've been part of a raid like this; my men usually take care of the grunt work. However, this involves Liliana, and I will not leave it to anyone else to save her. I need to personally see that she is alive and uninjured."Koval, you take your men and disarm all the guards. Do whatever it takes to keep them from alerting our presence," I order through the earpiece.My men are positioned around the cabin, hidden within the thick forest. The trees are so dense, so unforgiving, that no one can see us—not even her. That's Carmen's second mistake—dragging Lily into the woods, believing she could keep my pauper hidden. She never considered the very shadows she trusted would betray her. She can't see us coming, and that
The Devil's Heir Chapter 55
LilianaI don't know exactly how long I've been here. I think it's been two, maybe three days at most. There are no windows down here, and I'm always in the dark. The only light I ever see is when Heath brings me my two meals.I sit in the dark, I eat in the dark, and I use the bathroom in the dark, which consists of a five-gallon bucket. I'm left alone, and that's okay because my situation could be worse. There are many things Heath could be doing to me, but he isn't, and for that, I am thankful.I'm just finishing my lunch when I jump at the sound of the door opening. Typically, Heath doesn't come back until supper time. He leaves me my food and takes my lunch tray back upstairs, so his presence this soon after he's brought me my food is alarming."You get to stretch your legs, Princess." Heath stalks toward me, causing me to cower.I don't mean to show him this weakness, but I'm tired and sore and in no condition to fight off any unwanted attention. Heath doesn't touch me, though. H
The Devil's Heir Chapter 54
JarekThe whole estate is in an uproar over Liliana's disappearance, but none are as distraught as I am. My office looks as if thieves have come in and ransacked it—broken glass and furniture litter almost every corner.Every time we get a lead that doesn't pan out, another bout of destruction occurs. I don't know how much more of this I can take before I start hurting people. Lily's friends have steered clear of me, not that I care. The old bat doesn't like me as it is, so I really don't want to keep seeing her glare at me the way she did when she heard about what happened."What the fuck do you mean Lily was taken? She was with you!" she squawked. "Leave it to a Falcon to fuck shit up! You better pray my friend and that babe are found safe…"The woman pretty much threatened me, but I can't blame her—I fucked up. It's been two fucking days—Lily can be anywhere. Make no mistake, I will not stop until I find my pauper and heaven help the motherfucker who took her. If there's the littles
The Devil's Heir Chapter 53
LilianaMy head pounds and my mouth is dryer than the Sahara Desert. I'm feeling disoriented, and when I try opening my eyes, they don't seem to want to cooperate with me."Hurry up, she's waking up," a low, raspy voice states.It sounds a little familiar, but the pressure on my neck has me pushing those thoughts away. I try to move, but I can't pull my hands apart. When I try tugging at them, there's a clinking sound.Am I handcuffed?There's cursing and more pressure, but when I move my head, someone holds it in place."Don't fucking move, Lily."No! I do know that voice—it's Heath!I try screaming, and that's when I realize my mouth is taped shut. Even with my head throbbing, I start to struggle, but then I feel the weight of a body as it straddles my waist. My first thought is the baby, and I still, not wanting anything to happen to him."Will you hurry the fuck up already?" Heath barks at whoever he's with.I hear a loud snap, and then my neck feels bare. They took my collar off.
