“You were scared,” I said to the young man sitting across from me, his eyes fixed on the ground.

“I am. I am,” he stammered.

“You don't need to be scared. I was just as scared as you were when I heard that Sienna had been kidnapped.”

That made him look up.

“What?”

“I guess your sister never told you anything about me. I'm hurt.” I watched his eyes widen even further and almost chuckled. Sienna hadn't lied about him. He was just an innocent young adult, after all. “How do I explain myself

  • Twisted Obsession: The Mafia's obsession.   The Beauty of Us

    AdrianI stood in front of her, looking down at the feisty little five-foot-three woman who seemed determined to challenge every word that came out of my mouth. Sienna had a remarkable talent for turning even the simplest conversation into a battle of wills. She hated being wrong, hated backing down, and, judging by the stubborn look in her eyes, hated the idea of letting me have the last word.“I am serious,” she said, holding my gaze.“Okay.” I took a step back, but she immediately closed the distance between us.“Sienna, decide what you want. Quickly. I don't have time for this.”“Why did you try to win my brother over? He won't shut up about everything you gave him.”I raised an eyebrow. “I don't need to win him over. He's not the person I'm having this conversation with.”She scoffed. “Right. You can't even win anyone over with what you have in your hands.”I glanced down at my hands before looking back at her. “And what exactly do I have in my hands?”“Don't pretend you don't kn

  • Twisted Obsession: The Mafia's obsession.   A Dangerous Kind of Attachment

    Sienna“What now?” I asked as we entered the penthouse.Adrian loosened his tie and began removing his jacket. “What do you mean, Sienna?”“Are we going to have sex and pretend everything is fine? Pretend I want you and you want me, and that's all?”“Sienna, I brought you here to talk.”“I don't believe you.”I walked past him and headed for the couch, stopping by the window. Outside, the city lights stretched into the distance, but I barely noticed them. My reflection stared back at me from the glass.Behind me, I heard Adrian let out a quiet sigh.He removed his suit jacket and headed toward the bedroom. I watched him disappear down the hallway, waiting for him to say something, anything, that might convince me he wasn't simply dismissing me.He didn't. He just kept mute.“You're just going to ignore me because I'm something you need to play with, right?”He said nothing.I heard him moving around in the bedroom, and my fingers curled against my palms. He was really going to do this

I'm hurt.” I watched his eyes widen even further and almost chuckled. Sienna hadn't lied about him. He was just an innocent young adult, after all. “How do I explain myself? I feel like I have to put my reputation forward for you to believe me.”“What reputation?”“I'm the chairman of Pre-Break Liquor Company. We recently held an alcohol safety campaign at your school in Boston. I wasn't there in person, but I imagine my face was plastered around the campaign materials.” I paused as he finally looked at me properly. “I also heard you did a good job as the student union welfare officer. You received the company's support and made the campaign possible.”“Yes, sir.

  • Twisted Obsession: The Mafia's obsession.   The Wrong Kidnapping

    SiennaI watched my brother tremble on the ground, his hands raised beside his head. The gun that had been pointed at him earlier had been replaced with a stick, but that didn't seem to make much difference to him.“Why did you hang up the call?” Mug asked. “The boss is worried.”“Because I can't speak to him with my brother here. I don't want him hearing that I'm involved with you people.”Mug glanced at Reynold, who was still crouched on the ground, his lips moving as he whispered apologies and pleas.“Look at him. He can't even hear us over his own fear.”“You'd be surprised how much he's hearing.” I turned back to Mug. “Please, hold me a little more properly so I can act accordingly. Just say something like you've kidnapped the wrong person, then drop us off by the roadside or something.”He stared at me, looking thoroughly exhausted by my suggestions.I couldn't blame him. This whole situation had started with a misunderstanding, and now I was making it worse with my attempts to

  • Twisted Obsession: The Mafia's obsession.   A Government Secret

    Adrian“Why would you be here?” Wilkin asked as I walked into his office.He barely looked up from his desk before his eyes moved toward the open doorway, checking who might have seen me enter.“Why not? You owe me, don't you?”“Adrian, people will wonder what a liquor company's CEO is doing in the office of the Minister of Health.”“That's a weak excuse.” I pulled out a chair and sat down.He closed the file in front of him and rested both hands on the desk.“People read into a lot of things they shouldn't these days.”“I don't care.”He let out a sigh and glanced at the door again.“What brings you here?”“I have a feeling I don't need to tell you.”His expression changed. He stared at me for a moment before leaning back in his chair.I already knew he wasn't cut out for this kind of life. I'd seen it in the way he handled things before, but now I was beginning to understand that Millian hadn't been bluffing. He really did have the government's backing.I just didn't know how far it

  • Twisted Obsession: The Mafia's obsession.   The Wrong Kidnapper

    Sienna“Please, help! I promise, whatever you think I am, I'm not. Please, help me!”The words came tumbling out before I could stop them. My heart was pounding so hard that I could barely think straight. I tried to make sense of what was happening, but my mind kept jumping from one possibility to another.Who would kidnap me?Had Adrian finally lost whatever restraint he had left? After the message he'd sent, perhaps this was his way of reminding me that he could get to me whenever he wanted.But I couldn't bring myself to say his name.There were too many people who could be after me.What if it was the reverend? My report about him had been daring enough to attract the wrong attention. What if one of his cult members had finally come for me?But that didn't make much sense either. No one had connected him directly to me, and the matter hadn't even been settled. My HOD had told me I would have to testify alongside the director, but thankfully, I wasn't the only one who refused. The

    Adrian“Why the hell do you keep showing up?” she snapped as I turned the corner to her place. “You’ve got a girlfriend—what the fuck are you looking for? Not that I expect loyalty from someone like you.”I let out a low chuckle, the sound slipping past my lips before I could stop it. She was chaos

    SiennaI glared at the man—whose name I still didn’t even know—untied me. My anger simmered, but exploding felt pointless when the person I was furious with was watching me like this was exactly the reaction he expected.The moment my hands were free, a dull ache spread through my wrists. I ignored

Dominic’s not showing up tonight,” I said to Michael, one of my right-hand men. “Handle the guy, but don’t kill him.”He nodded, and I slipped into my Bentley.Finally, I could focus on the woman beside me.Sienna looked nervous as I shut the door. Surprising. She ha
