64 | A Credibility Gap
◇ KEL ◇
"We have to go." Niccolo stepped closer to hug me lightly.
"Where you going?" I muttered after the side of my face touched his neck. I pulled away and noticed his right hand still gripped his phone while his dark brows wrinkled in unmistakable annoyance.
What exactly bothered him? Some angry mobster whose black books he might've dug up and e

The Heir's Secret Obsession 65 | Anxiety And Panic
◇ KEL ◇ "Hey. You alright?" I looked up and saw a mildly frowning Enzo approaching me with his main bodyguard, Berto. He was wearing the same sweater and pants, but his hair looked more tousled than I remembered. Enzo had only been gone for more than an hour. Perhaps he met up with one of his brother's business associates here in Serbia. Enzo never mentioned particulars and I felt like I shouldn't ask, either. "You look really pale," he commented once he got near enough to put his arm over my shoulder. "I just..." I leaned against the rental car he'd paid for. I probably did look like my entire face got drained of color. Undoubtedly, my anxiety was forming tighter knots in my stomach, threatening me to some extent. I might just spew my entire lunch meal if my thoughts got even more out of hand. As we stood in the restaurant's parking lot, his security detail guarded the perimeter, d

◇ KEL ◇ "Mykaela?" Light pats on my arm. Gentle shaking. Careful strokes on my head. "Lasciala riposare." "Perché vuole andare lá?" Enzo's voice.Wait... Am I still dreaming? Dazed from the last seconds of my much-needed nap, I laid my head still on a layer of clothes keeping my face warm and fuzzy. The caresses on my hair and the mild scent of men's cologne—Enzo's perfume—gradually cleared up the haze in my head. It left me slightly more conscious of my surroundings and the soft hum of the jet's engines. Enzo kept my curled up body close to his, the rough fabric of his shirt covering most of my face. So, we were still in the private jet, his older brother's new plane. I also fell asleep on Enzo's lap. At the thought, a warm tingling sensation crawled up my spine. We weren't alone. I knew the Tomassinis had strapped security staff right by their side all

It was all I could think of while trying to stay motionless on the ground. The ominous sound of the metal bolts locking from inside the room deflated every muscle in my body. Darkness had replaced my vision, cold sweat covered me from head to toe, and the inside of my chest was coiling from all the anxiety. Meeting Leandro Tomassini might just be the end of me. Now that he had thrown me into a cold and dark room somewhere in the basement, I didn't know what to think of my fate. Was he going to murder me now? Slit my throat open? Dump my chopped remains in the ocean? Leave me in a ditch somewhere on the island? My flesh had succumbed to a state of weakened numbness. The nervous aches and the trembling of my hands had subsided,

◇ KEL ◇"Mykaela?" "Yes." I tried not to scowl as I looked at him. It seemed he wasn't done interrogating me."Any idea who this is?" Leandro gave me a grin that lifted the corner of his dark beard."Niccolo's uncle. His godfather, he said.""Of course he did." He stared at me for some awfully quiet seconds. Then he chuckled when I said nothing more and sat still on the bed.Was he convinced I was telling the truth? Did he want more details? I figured he wanted to know more about the reason Enzo traveled to Belgrade with me, but of course I didn't want to mention the things Niccolo told me. For his and my own safety."What did they tell you?""Not much." I glanced away.Leandro sat next to me on the bedcovers."We had lunch and...we talked about their busi

◇ KEL ◇Hold it in. You're safe...It was what my brain kept reminding me as his hug tightened around my cold, shivering body. I winced. My limbs felt like rotten vegetables. Every muscle ached. My eyes stang and felt strained. Sleep was a rarity last night.After he snatched me from the pool and terrorized me last night, Leandro had been kind enough to transfer me to a room with a decent bed, clean clothes, and a shower...but only to keep me prisoned in an old dirty room in the basement.Worse? He had tried to gag me but decided otherwise when I pleaded for him not to and told him I was claust
