Adrian’s POV

"The perimeter was breached at the northern docks," the voice on the other end was distorted, a digital mask hiding the identity of one of my most trusted informants.

“How much of the shipment stolen?”

"They didn't steal anything. They just... looked. It’s a message, boss. Someone is scouting the territory."

I tightened my grip on my phone. "And the source?"

"Unknown. They’re ghosts. And their trace is clean. Too clean."

"Find the perpetrator," I commanded, my voice dropping dang

    Serena’s POVAs I shut the door, my back stayed glued to the door. There was a tension in the air that I couldn’t ignore. The scent of him was everywhere—a dangerous mix of musk and citrus, and a dash of spirit. My eyes locked on his and my heart did a million backflips. He was leaning over his desk, and his body resembled a work of art. My eyes drew immediately to the tattoo from his neck covering his left arm…and that just made him even more sexy. And then my eyes travelled to his rock hard abs, and his v-line was carved to perfection and his—"You should be sleeping." he said, drawing my eyes away from his body. I cleared my throat, "I couldn't sleep," I whispered, hoping that my drooling wasn’t so obvious. "Come here." As he said those words, a current surges through me. He didn’t bark, he didn’t shout. His voice was so calm, yet it caused a storm to rage inside my belly.Against the loud voice screaming in my head that listening to him was a grave mistake, I walked toward

    Serena’s POV "Everybody get down!" someone screamed.My feet were frozen in place, immobilized in fear. The screams were deafening, but I could not move. Another bang sliced through the atmosphere. My body began to tremble. Was it a gun shot? Or a bomb?? I didn't have the time to wonder. Adrian immediately slammed his body against mine to shield me, his hand pressing my head down into his chest."Don't move," he hissed, his voice a low. A louder sound tore through the air—now that sounded like a gunshot. The screams from the ballroom increased and I could hear the frantic shuffling of people running for their lives."Boss! This way! The east exit is compromised!"I looked over Adrian’s shoulder to see his head of security, a huge man named Marcus around the corner with a gun in his hands.Adrian didn't let go of me for a single moment. He kept one arm locked around my waist, practically lifting me off my feet as he began to move. I stumbled as we rushed, but he hauled me up b

  • The Mafia's Boss Surrogate Bride   Chapter 25

    Serena’s POVI stomped away from Adrian, cursing him with every step. That bloody, deranged pervert! The nerve of him. Giving me rules like I was a bloody child and threatening me with jail time!!I had to endure this for eight and a half more months. Eight and a half months of being his "property,", of being controlled and treated like a prisoner. I wasn't sure if my sanity would remain intact by the time I gave birth to his child and the contract expired.As I moved through the crowd, I noticed many eyes straying towards me. Most men paused their conversations and their eyes lingered on my body, filled with lust. Most women whispered as I passed, their eyes lacking any warmth or adoration. But I was not moved by it. I was already used to this kind of attention. Growing up as the daughter of a millionaire, I was used to being the center of attention in any room. My father made sure of it.He always said, "A queen doesn't look for attention. She simply exists and the world adjus

They just... looked. It’s a message, boss. Someone is scouting the territory."I tightened my grip on my phone. "And the source?""Unknown. They’re ghosts. And their trace is clean.

I want to show them exactly what happens to those who think they can cross me."I ended the call, the silence of the room returning like a heavy cloud settling over me. Who could it be? The options were endless. And as I sifted through the list of possible intruders, a sound invaded the silence. I turned, expecting to see a maid or a guard. Instead, I saw her.She was coming d

    “What are you doing here??” I stared at the door in horror.Adrian stood in the doorway, his tall frame blocking out the light from the hallway. My breath hitched in my throat as he stared at me. I was still halfway through changing, the dress clutched desperately against my chest, leaving too much to his dark gaze. "I want to dress up." I managed to whisper, my voice cracking. "Leave, Adrian."He said nothing. He didn't even make any moves to leave. His dark eyes slowly began to roam over my body. It wasn't just a glance, he looked at me the same way a predator eyes a helpless prey—his eyes were filled with a hunger, entirely unimpressed by my pathetic attempts to hide.I began to feel overly conscious. I was here, standing in the middle of the room, half naked, being watched by this pervert! I turned to bolt towards the bathroom. "Stop."The command was quiet, but it hit me like a brick wall. I froze in my tracks. My brain screamed at me to keep moving, to lock the door, to c

    I was painfully aware of everything.The firmness of his thighs beneath me. The intoxicating scent of citrus and musk mixed together. The way his chest rose slowly behind my back as if he wasn’t affected at all, while my entire body was spiraling.My cheeks burned as I sat rigidly on Adrian’s lap. My nails dug into my dress like it was the only thing keeping me grounded. Keeping me composed. I shifted, only slightly—but it didn’t go unnoticed by him. I felt him grow against my core, and I couldn’t help the wetness that began to pool between my legs.My god, he was huge! His arm tightened around my waist immediately.“Don’t,” he groaned, leaning in until his hot breath brushed my ear. I froze, a chill crawling up my spine. “If you move again,” he continued quietly, his voice calm and deadly, “you’ll add more hours to your punishment.”The heat crawled up my neck, and I could already tell that my pale face had reddened, and I hated myself for it. I hated that my body reacted to

    “Be good.”He patted my hair, his touch lingering longer than it should have.His fingers slid into mine, firm and unyielding. I was still too stunned to speak.“Just act normal, and you’ll be fine,” he murmured.When we stepped into the living room, every eye turned to us. The silence was thick an

    Gabriel's voice kept replaying in my head as the car pulled away from the cemetery. It's about your father.Those four words had lodged themselves in my chest, living rent free.What could possibly be so urgent? Dad had been gone for months now. What could have changed?Mia sat beside me in tense

    Wake up, Serena. Wake up, or I'll increase your punishment. Adrian's voice echoed through my dreams, cold and commanding. I bolted upright, gasping for air, my heart hammering against my ribs. For a moment, I couldn't orient myself. The softness beneath me, the familiar scent of lavender on the s

    “So,how did you two meet?”The matriarch's voice broke the silence, drawing all the attention to herself.My head spun in pain. We hadn't rehearsed an answer for that question at all. I looked at Adrian with fearful eyes. If the matriarch found out about our transaction,she could kill me. “We met
