LOGINHe stood there, leaning against the desk with his dark eyes fixed on me like he already knew everything I was too afraid to say. “Do you know what happens,” He asked quietly, “to people who walk into fire without thinking?” “They burn.” I mumbled. “Exactly.” he said with a slow, cold smile on his lips. Rosalina Evans is a woman with simple dreams until one night changes her life. One moment she’s running from death, and the next, she’s locked inside the mansion of a man everyone fears, Christopher Romano, the cruel and powerful Mafia boss.
View MoreChristopher’s Point of ViewI walked out of her room, but I couldn’t walk out of what she said.Those words were stuck in my head like a sharp blade.I’m a virgin.I stopped halfway down the hallway, breathing hard. My chest was tight. I ran a hand through my hair, trying to think straight, but my mind was spinning.“She is lying,” I muttered under my breath. “She must be lying.”I laughed, but it came out broken. “A girl her age? Impossible.”Still, no matter how many times I said it, something inside me refused to believe the lie I was trying to tell myself.I turned and hit the wall hard with my fist. The sound echoed down the empty hall. My knuckles burned, but I didn’t care.Her face wouldn’t leave my mind. The way she looked at me when she said it. Her eyes had fear, but not a single trace of deceit. She wasn’t trying to trick me. She was just… scared.I cursed under my breath again. “Damn it, Rosalina.”I walked into my room and slammed the door. I need to think, but my head wa
Rosalina’s Point of ViewThe night was quiet, but my heart wasn’t.I couldn’t sleep.I sat on the bed with my knees pulled close, staring at the window. The moonlight was the only thing keeping me company. Every sound in the house made me jump.Christopher had gone out hours ago, and I didn’t know when he would return. Part of me prayed he wouldn’t come back tonight. Part of me prayed he return home safely . I still remembered the pain and the way his cold eyes looked at me when he caught me eavesdropping.I touched the side of my face where he had once slapped me. It wasn’t hurting anymore, but the memory did.“I hate him,” I whispered under my breath.But even as I said it, my voice shook. It wasn’t just hate. It was fear.The clock ticked slowly. Midnight passed. The house was still.Then I heard it — the sound of a car stopping outside.My chest tightened.Footsteps followed. Heavy, slow, unsteady.Christopher.I froze on the bed with my eyes fixed on the door.The footsteps came
Christopher’s Point of ViewThe night was cold, but my blood was hot.Marcus. The name kept ringing in my head as the car drove through the dark streets.I sat in the back seat, my eyes on the road ahead. No one in the car spoke. They knew better. When I was angry, silence was safer.“Any update?” I finally asked.Jackson turned from the front seat. “Not yet, boss. But Rico’s men checked the east road. They found Marcus’s car near the old warehouse.”“Was he there?”“No, sir. The car was empty. Burned.”I let out a dry laugh. “Smart. He’s trying to hide.”Jackson hesitated. “What if he’s already out of the city?”“He’s not,” I said sharply. “Marcus knows me. He knows I’ll find him. He won’t run far. He’s probably hiding and waiting for help.”Thomas looked at me through the mirror. “Should we call in the others?”“Not yet. I don’t want noise. Just us. Quiet and clean.”The car stopped near an empty building. The place looked dark and abandoned, but I knew better. Inside, we kept one o
Rosalina's Point of viewThe room was silent for a few seconds after Christopher's words.My heart still beat fast as my hands shaked at my sides. I could feel his breath close to my ear when suddenly....BANG!The door burst open."Boss!"The loud shout made me jump. Christopher turned at once, his eyes sharp and angry. His hand dropped from my arm as one of his men ran in, out of breath and pale."What is it?" Christopher asked. His voice was low, but there was danger in it.The man swallowed hard. "Sir... it's the shipment. The one from the south docks. It's gone."Christopher frowned. "Gone? What do you mean gone?""It's on fire, sir."For a few seconds, no one said a word. The sound of the fan above us seemed louder.Christopher blinked slowly, his jaw tightening. "You'd better explain that again."The man nodded quickly, his voice shaking. "Someone hit the south docks. Our men saw fire everywhere. The whole place is burning. We tried to save something, but it was too late. Every
