LOGINSoraya’s POVDraven nuzzled his head into the side of my neck. “Aren’t you going to say anything?”I couldn’t… especially since the reason I was staying still was because I was trying to convince myself that I had heard him all wrong.The Draven I was used to was the man who would rather eat sand than admit he had made a mistake… so, him apologising? I just didn’t know what to do with it.He leaned back.My arms were still wrapped around him, with one of my legs tangled with his beneath the covers as I searched his face for any sign that he was playing with me.There was none.“Are you being for real right now?” I asked suspiciously.This funny man had the nerves to act all comfused… pulling and knotting his brows as he asked, “Why wouldn’t I be?”I scoffed.Did he really need to be reminded why I was finding it suspicious that he was apologizing?“Because you’re you.” I replied.“And what the fuck is that supposed to mean, Soraya?”A laugh escaped my lips.There he was.For a second,
Georgia’s POVSomething was definitely not adding up somewhere.“My sons really believed they could build something better without me.” He added.And I just had to answer, “And they did… without shedding as much blood.”The words left my mouth before I could stop them.Silence filled the room.Fuck.Don Salvatore’s eyes darkened and I should have corrected myself immediately but I didn’t… it wasn’t like I lied.The brothers had built an organisation people feared whilst being out of sight.I had watched grown men enter meetings with confidence only to become so terrified the second Draven’s name was mentioned and competitors abandon deals because they realised the Salvatores were involved.Their father might have built a Mafia clan, but his sons had created something different… people knew them as Salvatore’s but wouldn’t be able to trace that name back to the Don.“They did,” Don Salvatore finally admitted.His answer surprised me.His fingers tightened around the pendant as he conti
Georgia's POV There was no doubt that he didn’t like my challenge. Was this even worth it anymore? I had crossed boundaries I shouldn’t have had any business going on all for the sake of my… jealousy? My eyes trailed up and back to Don Salvatore whose thumb continued moving over the engraving on the pendant. If only I could read minds… Could Soraya somehow be related to this man? Perharps his daughter… that would explain this weird expression in his face. But if she was related to the brothers… “You came here asking what I would pay for information about my sons,” he finally said, causing me to push my thoughts to the side in time to see him place the pendant back on the table. “Yet you present me with something that has absolutely nothing to do with them?” “Doesn’t it?” I replied almost immediately and his eyes lifted to mine. Even I was shocked at the audacity I was yielding. I leaned forward slightly however, “Because judging from your reaction, Mr. Salvatore, I think it
Georgia's PovMy heart stopped.Did he know more than he was telling?My eyes tried reading his but there was nothing to give away. He just had this cold smile plastered on his face as he held my gaze.I smiled, desperately clinging to the remainder of my composure before he caught me lacking, “If you mean the restroom… I did.”He nodded.It was clear that both of us knew we were up to no good, and neither of us believed the facade we were putting on.He was the devil himself, and to think he was merely a political tool.Spying on his own wife and then pretending he couldn’t care less… while to others, he was probably the perfect man because of the show he put on.Judging from the way he was looking at me, he must have thought I had intended to ram his bed before I crossed my boundaries…if only he knew.I texted my driver to come around, and once he pinged me that he was already outside, I stood.“Goodnight, Matthew,” I whispered as I closed the gap between us to give him a slight pec
Georgia’s POVMy eyes subconsciously moved toward the ceiling, and I stopped when I saw another camera.Who places a camera in someone’s bedroom?And did she even know? It seemed hidden enough, tucked into the corner near the curtain rail.This was getting even weirder.My eyes caught another one. This time, it was facing the bed.“No fucking way,” I found myself muttering as I spotted another sitting directly above her bookshelf.Was she being watched?Judging from how hidden they were, I doubted she even knew he was watching her. But why?My eyes moved rapidly around the room, and just as I thought, there was another one near the window.Did he fear she would run away?I suddenly remembered Matthew at dinner.His shrugs and indifference toward his wife’s absence even the way his face hardened whenever I asked too many questions about her.That wasn’t the expression and composure of a man that was sacred for his wife or even loved her.It was quite sad that she had lived such a life…
Georgia’s POVThe door was locked.For a very brief second, I just stood at the end of the narrow hallway, staring at the brass handle as though it had personally offended me.Every other room in Matthew’s house had been open.From the guest rooms to even his office and the ridiculously large library that looked like it had been designed for pictures rather than reading. Even one of the bedrooms upstairs had been left open.But this?It was quite telling.I glanced behind me to check if I was still alone, and the quiet house greeted me, save for the faint sound of Matthew’s voice drifting from somewhere downstairs.He was still on the phone, and judging from the tone of his voice, I knew I still had time.My eyes trailed down to the other end of the hallway, where I spotted a camera. It was quite obvious that it wasn’t working, but a camera specifically facing this door?Weird.I turned back to the door and studied the lock before slipping my hand into my purse.There was surely somet
Soraya’s POVI couldn’t get out of bed the next day.So no, I didn’t make any move, and honestly, after sleeping it off… What move could I possibly make that would beat staying away from them?NONE!My lips pressed into a thin line as I stared at the ceiling, listening to them quietly argue just ou
Draven’s POVUpstairs, that mysterious lady was still breathing while my brothers had lost control of themselves… It had started out amusing, watching as they let their dick think for them all while she had even feigned being mute.What else has she lied about?“So she wasn’t being mute after all?”
Soraya’s POVDespite the raging cold outside, I woke up warm and for the first time in a long while, I woke up on my own terms.I didn’t get up yet but rather sank into the bed as my mind subconsciously remembered when I woke up to a drunk and angry Matthew who suddenly remembered I had hugged some
Lucas's POVThere was a woman in our bathroom…naked. At first, my instincts screamed that it was a trap especially since she had practically led us in here with her trail of clothes at the door.The steam from her bath hung heavy in the air, she was curled up naked in the tub, her skin flushed from
