CALISTA'S P.O.V

It was only the scent of amber musk and spice that made sense to me

There were times when I used to have these... dreams. No, not dreams and not entirely nightmares, it's different, like I'm in a loop of some kind

My mind is on a brief suspension, and everything begins to blur. I know that doesn't make sense, but that was the point of it, none of it made any sense to me

I'd regain my consciousness after this...loop passes, but for the few seconds, I have to think really extra h

    CALISTA'S P.O.VThere was an implosion inside of me.The moment Roman's large hands wrapped around my body, when he pulled me closer and closer like the very air he breathed was deep inside my lungs, when he kissed my lips like a man starved and in need, I imploded.I gripped the hair at the back of his nape, one hand on his solid chest as we kissed each other like the world was fading away. My breaths came out in short, ragged pants, Roman didn't break apart to breathe either. “You’re stubborn” he admitted with a short laugh while still kissing me, taking my bottom lip between hisA gust of breeze blew past, but it did nothing to the rising fire of passion in my blood, my whole body was warm, and being this close to Roman, my body pressed to his, soft in every place he was hard, it made me throb and yearnRoman slid a finger down the curve of my ass, making a shiver rack through my body “My stubborn little angel” he rasped as I shifted my hips so my core was nudging his hard length

    CALISTA'S P.O.VA small silver of moonlight fell over his sharp features. He took in a long drag of the cigarette, exhaling the smoke out of his nostrils and mouth. A shiver ran down my spine when I stepped into the gazebo. “Roman” my whisper swirled with the fading smoke in the air. Except for the slight shift in his shoulders, it was impossible to know if he'd heard me or felt my presence I took another daring step to where he was seated, and another until I slowly lowered myself into the wooden bench in the gazebo.The air was cool, filled with the scent of freshly cut grass, dampened by evening drizzle, and a soft night breeze ruffled the leaves.“Roman” I called softly again, almost inaudibly Roman's shoulders loosened and sagged. “I told you to leave,” he muttered gruffly. Roman sounded so unlike himself, less commanding and more...forlorn Unusual I slipped my hand on top of his large thigh, watching his face, his unfocused eyes, and the crushing weight of whatever had hap

    CALISTA'S P.O.VNighttime came by slowly. I watched as the sky slowly shifted from one hue into another, until all that was left was deep, dark blue skyRoman still wasn’t home yet and I was beginning to panicThe two men, Vincent and Otto, told me he'd be back today; they said there was ‘unfinished business’ he had to handle, and honestly, I was having a migraine.I was also starting to think everyone deliberately kept things from me.The children however, were fine. They were taken to the guest wing to be cleaned, fed, and checked on by a doctor. Little Aria was fast asleep, so she didn't cry for me. Alberto was nursing a bottle of bourbon in the hallway; his eyes were rimmed red for reasons I didn't let myself ponder. Luca had disappeared with his boom box and injury, and Lilian claimed that she was tired and needed to go to sleep.And me?I was pacing the length of my bedroom like a caged animal, waiting for its beloved owner to come open its cage.I waited. Bit on my nails, call

    CALISTA'S P.O.VThe unnatural silence in the living room pulsed like a heartbeat. Everyone— Me, Lucas, Alberto, Lilian by my side, her the other children, everyone stared at the little hazel-eyed girlShe sniffed, her lips curving into a small, pain-filled smile. One moment she was standing at the far end of the grand living room, the next, she sprinted as fast as her thin legs could carry her and rushed over to my side, hugging my legs tight “Mom,” her hazel eyes were filled with tears, and they dropped down to her chin. I opened my mouth, fumbling for words, but none came outEveryone else was as stunned as I was. The little girl cried harder, hugging my legs tighter. “Mom, it's.. it's been…been…so…so…l…long. I…I thought I would never, ever see you again”One of the children, a girl who appeared to be in her early teen's stepped forward from the group. “Aria” she called tenderly. “I don't think that's your mom”The little girl— Aria, shook her head vehemently. “No, Stacy. She's my

    CALISTA'S P.O.VI planned to leave the villa today, but I couldn't, not after Roman made me promise him I'd stay.And those thoughts of going out sizzled away when Lilian and Lucas came back from wherever it was they usually went to. I was in the living room, going through some old history of the Chicago and Irish mafia that Alberto had given me when Lilian brought an injured Lucas home“Oh my God," I exclaimed at the injury to Lucas's arms. He looked up to me and even though he was injured, Lucas grinned broadly—his usual, carefree smile“Hello, darling," he winked, while slowly settling himself into one of the couches. Lilian's chin wobbled like she was about to cry, but she said nothing.For a moment, Lilian and Lucas shared a silent conversation between themselves. I glanced at Alberto who hadn't left my side since morning, to see if he was as confused as me but he remained stoic where he stood, his brown eyes burning into Lilian She didn't look at him and I felt the tension in t

    ROMAN'S P.O.V“The brother,” Aria whispered again, her words were filled with so much dread and fear.I took the lead, Aria behind me being protected by Niko and Ricardo. Every muscle in my body was locked tight; my heart trailed in front of me. “The Brother" I echoed, stomach churning with disgust.The air thickened the further we went into the tunnel-like thing. The air was filled with dust, damp concrete, fear, and tears Lots of tears I turned slightly so I could look Aria square in the eyes. I didn't like the fact that she wasn't outside, safe with Vincent and Otto, but we needed her to find ‘The brother’ in this maze of a place. Her hazel eyes were trusting when she looked up at me. “Stay behind me. Understand?”Aria nodded, her small jaw trembling even though she tried to hide it— the fear. She was a brave little girl. Too brave for someone who still had their milk teeth.No child should ever go through such. A sound echoed in the darkness, and Niko tried to move ahead, but I
