QUINN

My gaze remained fixed on the tray that had just been set down in front of me.

It was filled with a crystal white powder substance. And this old man that had pressed a repulsive kiss to my inner wrist just asked to do the honors.

I should not have opened my big mouth.

I knew all too well what was expected from me. What was about to happen. This was a popular scene in books and movies. Putting the cartel master to a test by using his spouse.

Still…I attempted to ask a brave question. “Uh

  • The Kingpin's Witch Bride    ~101

    QUINN “What do you mean…forever?” I hated the way the words left my lips in a desperate whisper. Like a thirsty plea. Luciano took a step towards me, wincing and clutching his side. The bleeding had trickled to a considerable extent. In fact, he seemed fine, except for a wince here and there. “I'll divorce you, properly.”I scoffed and folded my arms over my chest to hide the sudden tremors. “You really think you're Lord over my life, don't you? You do with it whatever you please, whenever you please? Pick me up whenever you wish and toss me to the side when you get bored?” His face remained impassive as he watched me. I hated him so much right then. Not just for the fact that he was an asshole who was also technically my murderer, but also because he did not seem to care about his wife at all. “I know you think I'm a jerk. I don't care, anyway. All I care about is keeping you safe.”“Ha!” I threw my head back in a bitter laugh. “You know, it's funny. Coming from you.”He shook

    QUINNYou said you would protect me. It was the first thought in my head as my skull cracked hard against the marble floor. Pain instantly flooded my vision, colliding with the dread that filled me.Luciano said he would protect me. And here I was, about to lose my life again because I made the stupid, impulsive decision to protect him instead. He’s a supernatural being, for God’s sake. Why did I not just let him handle this? And where the hell is everyone? Oh. I forgot Luciano rented out the entire diner for the period we were supposed to be here. So of course. There was no one to come to our aid right now. But what about local cops? Some security guards or something?The chaos going on in my head was violently ripped off when I felt hands on my neck. Big, fat hands that wrapped around my throat like a cobra and snapped the air from my lungs. “You stupid bitch!” The big man’s saliva flew in my face. “Think you can take me on, huh?!”I gagged and gurgled, my arms flailing as I t

    QUINNI had barely registered the warning when his body fell over mine with an overwhelming force and sent us both tumbling to the ground with a loud thud. The sound of shattering glass filled the air in the background, somehow muffled by Luciano’s large arms wrapped around me. The sporadic shooting continued, but I felt safe, far away from it. Because Luciano was next to me. Holding me close like I was the most precious thing to him in the world. If only he knew who I really was inside this body. Would he still protect me like this?“Are you okay?” His soothing whisper reverberated through my body, reminding me yet again of that night I fell for him on that bridge. He was a total stranger back then, Quinn. That was before you knew the evil he was capable of! Glass fell around us. In a thousand splinters, I could tell. But I did not feel a single prickle from a cut or the force of being hit, and I knew it was thanks to the fact that I was thoroughly covered with Luciano’s large b

    QUINNThe haze disappeared as soon as my skull cracked forcefully against a hard surface. A wail of agony tumbled past my lips as sharp, blinding pain shot through my head and spread down to my neck and my back. Panting hard, I looked around to find myself trapped in an askew position. Caught in the halved trunk of a bow-shaped shrub. Hanging upside down. My breathing was uneven, loud and raspy. I retched up even more of what was leftover from my first glaring fuck up. Tears rolled down my eyes alongside the other slimy liquid. Down the sloppy forest where I would have slipped and died if my dress hadn't caught onto this trunk.“God,” I murmured, hating the bitter taste in my mouth and itching to rinse it out. “I should not have gotten into the trunk of his car in the first place. I cannot believe this is the moment where I accept that he's right and I'm wrong. Fuck.”On and on I rambled. I could only remember bits and pieces of the last few hours. And they were not pleasant memor

    LUCIANOBig men standing above 6ft glared at my wife and I as they circled us in Dante Tallavera's tennis court, cats ready to pounce on mice. But what they did not know was that in fact…I was far from a mouse. I was the threat they never saw coming. My fingers involuntarily tightened around Lilith's soft and slender ones cocooned inside. I looked over at her. She was smiling up at me with rosy cheeks and glazed-over eyes. Fuck. If she kept looking at me like that, I wouldn't be able to stop myself. I feared I would jump right over and snatch her up, rip her dress right here—after I'd gouged out everyone else's eyes—and drop hot, wet kisses all over her face and neck.It was what I craved at the moment…and the thought stiffened my cock in my pants.I cleared my throat and steeled my mind to act right and stop thinking dirty thoughts. “Are you ready?” She wiggled her brows at me. “For?” I lifted my gaze and swept it around the faces surrounding us. The men had guns pointed at us,

    LUCIANO“Holy shit! This place is huge.”Lilith looked around the wide tennis court in awe, like she hadn't seen anything like it. Meanwhile…her father had about three in his name. Just what was up with her? I really should not have let her take the coke. “Oh thank you, goddess,” Dante sang, beaming at her glowing face. “You've got an eye for luxury.”She flashed him a too-wide, open-toothed grin. “Have I now?” “Absolutely!” Laughing heartily, they both tumbled further into the court. They were both over the moon. Dante did not hesitate to hit a line before the game they were about to play. Just what was she thinking, offering to duel him? My only thought now was to leave with her, as I’ve seen how much of a bad idea it was to come all the way here for a business deal.There were so many others I could deal with. But for some reason, I'd come all this way to do business with a shady man. Like it was extraordinarily orchestrated, and I was engineered into making a foolish decisio

    QUINNVeritas returned carrying a steaming mug of tea in one hand, and a bottle of gin in the other. I narrowed my eyes on her as she bounced into the room and towards the chairs facing each other around a small glass table. “Come sit, please.”As I did, she uncorked the gin and poured some of it

    QUINNMy mind was going haywire. And it was becoming more and more of a hassle to get it under control. I mean, there was no other explanation for what had happened on that podium a few hours ago. There was no other way to explain the way this body reacted to Luciano without control. Was this Lil

    KALLUMMy first instinct when I saw her crumple in fear on that stage, was to fly up and catch her in my arms. If that were possible. I had always been in awe of my step-sister’s beauty, but she seemed to shine so bright today. Brighter than she had ever been. My eyes had been on her right from t

    QuinnSomething warm bubbled in my chest as I geared up in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in my bedroom.Today was the day I would very officially walk in the shoes of Lilith Montclair. The burgundy two-piece suit I'd picked out earlier, clung to my curves and accentuated the small petite fi
