◇ KEL ◇
A drawn out silence and the poignant fear of dying in the hands of a paranoid psychopath kept me quiet on the screaky chair. I waited. I glanced around me while I convinced my own brain that I wasn't paralyzed with fear.
The room remained di

The Heir's Secret Obsession 71 | Diversion
◇ 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
The Heir's Secret Obsession 72 | A Rescue Mission
◇ 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

◇ KEL◇It would be accurate to say Miles arrived on the island with an army and a burning urge to slit someone's throat.The cool sea breeze wasn't giving me any comfort, either. Any minute now I might just collapse from sleep deprivation or from the multiple physical injuries

◇ KEL ◇ "How'd you even get out?" "Broke the window with the curtain rod." "I'm guessing that's what caused these?" Niccolo glanced down at the pinkish scratches on my pale feet and legs.

◆ MILES ◆"Pappa, I'm not making this up.""No. Leandro wouldn't do that.""He just did." I clamped my mouth shut to bite back a curse as I gripped the satellite phone. My father's tentative tone just doubled the urge in me to haul the phone into the deep blue sea. "Why would I lie?" I scowled.
The Heir's Secret Obsession 76 | Misgivings
◇ KEL◇ Unrequited feelings would be my untimely demise. It would happen, for sure. I just couldn't tell when. In my head, the thin line between love and hate seemed to blur even more. I didn't want to forget about him; I wanted to be with him. But I hated the consequences. I hated how he thought it wouldn't work out and wouldn't even try. Nothing made sense anymore.Trying to comprehend the complexity of our situation, although necessary, just took a toll on me mentally, emotionally. It didn't help that he now seemed eager to stay close to me. All of sudden, he wanted to be intimate. Maybe he just wanted to hear everything that happened? Every other detail I left out. Maybe he didn't want to ask, for fear of traumatizing me further. Maybe he just wanted to understand why I suddenly left New York for a wild hunch,risking my life in the p
The Heir's Secret Obsession 77 | Patient
◇ KEL ◇ Vittoria Ramona Hospital - Brichese "No physical activities for now. Okay? No staying up late. You need complete rest for a few days." "Sì, dottore." "Maximiliano, assicurati che rimanga a letto e sia idratata." "Sì. Grazie tante." "Check on you later, Mykaela." I could only smile at Dr. Orcullo, my attending physician, before Miles opened the door and escorted the doctor out of the private room. The door looked as white as the walls and had a small glass window. The doctor was a family friend of the Falcos, looked to be in her 50s, and thankfully female this time. She was far more polite and friendly than that snobby specialist back in the other hospital, where Miles first took me to get emergency treatment and the dreaded rape kit. I had insisted nothing that traumatic happened, but he wanted to be thorough. Miles had a

◆ NICCOLO ◆ "Where's Sofija now?" "Stop calling her that." I held back a frown and took the vacant seat beside the boss. "Why should I?" "She doesn't like it." "Funny." Ilya paused signing the crisp white papers on the table to glance up, his expression almost too blank for words. "How you just decided she doesn't like to be called by her real birth name." "She knows. Okay? She knew about it months ago. But she's not doing anything about it." I sighed to myself. At least I wasn't answering the questions with pure lies. "If you can't accept that, just leave her be," I said in a quieter voice as I tried to stop frowning. Although I had initially told myself not to interfere with his plans and just tell him whatever he wanted to hear, I was done acting like I didn't care if the mob interfered with Mykaela's life. I had enough guilt to keep me depressed for a lifetime. Therefore, what
