Leila swung and missed.

Carlos stepped in behind her, laughing, and closed his hands over hers on the club. "You're gripping it as if it owes you money. Loosen up." He adjusted her stance, then let one hand drop to her waist, steadying her.

She laughed.

Zane stopped walking.

He stood there a second too long, golf glove halfway onto his hand, watching Carlos's palm rest against her hip as if it belonged there. Neither of them noticed him. That was the part that bothered him — he couldn't have sa

Neither of them noticed him. That was the part that bothered him — he couldn't have said why."Try again," Carlos said. "Slow this time."She swung.The ball rolled six feet before stopping.For a heartbeat, she stared at it.Then a grin spread across her face."I hit it."Carlos laughed."There you go."She lifted a hand toward him without thinking.He answered with a quick high-five."See?" he said. "Told you you weren't hopeless."She shrugged at him, then shook her head as she stepped back to admire the shot.Zane finished pulling the glove on. Yanked it, really. The leather

    The knock came again. Sharp. Impatient. "Leila." Zane. Her heart tightened. She immediately grabbed the phone. Locked the screen. Shoved it beneath the pillow. Then took a deep breath. Another. And another. By the time she reached the door, her expression was almost normal. Almost. She opened it. Zane stood outside. His arm was wrapped in bandages. His face showed no sign of the chaos that had happened less than twenty-four hours ago. For one second, Leila thought he knew. That he knew about the message. That he knew she was hiding something. Then he walked inside. The door closed behind him. And suddenly, the room felt smaller. --- Zane knew immediately something was wrong. The moment she opened the door. The moment their eyes met. Something had changed. Leila was angry most of the time. Annoyed almost all the time. But this wasn't either of those. For a split second, her gaze moved toward the bed. Toward the pillow. Then back to him. Too fast. To

    The room finally emptied. The doctor packed his equipment. The bodyguards returned to their positions. And Carlos remained exactly where he was. Grinning. Zane looked up from the couch. "You can leave." Carlos sat down instead. "You got shot." "Yeah." Carlos shook his head. "No. What amazes me is that somebody actually managed to shoot you." Zane's expression remained flat. Carlos laughed harder. "This is my favorite day of the year." "Get out." "You sound emotional." "Fuck off my face." Carlos pointed dramatically. "Proof." The doctor failed to hide a smile. Zane looked at him. The smile vanished immediately. Smart doctor. Carlos leaned back comfortably. "So." Zane already knew that tone. He hated that tone. "So what?" Carlos pointed toward the door Leila had disappeared through. "Her." "No." "I didn't even ask a question." "No." Carlos laughed again. "You brought a woman into your house." "For a mission." "She's living in your mansion." "Tempor

  • The Mafia Kings Contract    Chapter Six: Get out

    Leila didn't know how long the drive lasted. Ten minutes. Thirty. An hour. She stopped checking. The black SUV kept moving through Chicago while her thoughts refused to settle. The attack. The shattered glass. The gunshot. Zane's arm jerks backward. His cold voice afterward. Find the shooter. As if getting shot was a minor inconvenience. Leila rubbed both hands over her face. This was insane. Completely insane. She should have left when she had the chance. The problem was that she wasn't sure she had ever been given one. The SUV finally slowed. Leila looked outside. Tall iron gates. Security cameras. Armed guards. The gates began to open. Slowly. Her stomach sank. The vehicle rolled inside. And for the first time since being dragged into this mess, Leila understood just how rich Zane Rogers really was. The mansion looked less like a home and more like something stolen from a billionaire's fantasy. The building stretched across acres of land. Fountains.

    Tech Mall was insane. Not crowded. Not noisy. Insane. The entire VIP floor had been cleared before they arrived. Security guards stood at every entrance. Employees moved around carrying tablets and communication devices . And somehow, everyone looked nervous. Leila stepped out of the elevator and looked around. She almost commented on it. Almost . Then she remembered the car ride incident. The silence afterward. She pressed her lips together and said nothing. Some humiliations needed time before she could be loud again. This morning, she had used up every last reserve she had. So she followed. Quietly. They entered a private showroom. Rows of colorful, elegant dresses stretched across the room. Every single one looked expensive enough to pay her tuition for three years. A woman in a black suit approached immediately. "Miss Leila." She smiled politely. "We'll begin now." Leila nodded and followed her. She kept her eyes forward. Away from him. She had spen

    Leila regretted getting into the car almost immediately.The silence was unbearable.She sat stiffly in the backseat of the black SUV while Zane Rogers sat across from her, scrolling through documents on a tablet as if he hadn't terrified her every single day since they met.The city rolled past outside the tinted windows.Nobody spoke.Not the driver.Not the bodyguards.Not Zane.The silence stretched so long that Leila eventually found herself stealing glances at him.He looked calm.Too calm.How could someone be that calm after shooting people?After kidnapping people?After turning her entire life upside down?As if sensing her stare, Zane looked up.Their eyes met.Leila immediately looked away.Unfortunately, that only made him notice."You keep staring."Leila's face heated."I wasn't staring.""You were.""I wasn't."A faint smirk touched his mouth.Leila hated that smirk.It always looked like he knew something she didn't.The silence returned.A few minutes later, one of t
