Adrian“What did he say?” I muttered into the phone, pacing near the edge of the warehouse.Mug’s voice came steady, but clipped. “He denied everything. Pretending he doesn’t know shit. Says he’s in the middle of service and can’t talk.”I exhaled through my nose. “Hmph. Then hand him over to the authorities. He’ll remember real quick.”“We have his daughter and the doctor. If we do that, they are gonna start looking for the surgery center, you know that traitor doctor will say something.”“I’ve already had the surgery center cleaned out and burned from the records,” I said. “You don’t need to worry about what they are looking for. Just send him his daughter and his butcher doctor alive. That’s enough to ruin both of them completely.”“Understood,” Mug said.I was just pulling the phone from my ear when his voice came back.“One more thing—The journalist’s here.”I paused. “What journalist?”He hesitated. “The woman you were with. Sienna.”My stomach did a slow, annoyed twist. “Sienna
SiennaI stared at my Head of Department like she’d just asked me to crawl into a lion’s den.“What do you mean I’m going with the director?” I asked flatly with my brows lifted.“You were the journalist who interviewed them,” she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “It’s only right you go apologize.”“I get that, but let’s not pretend like I’m not walking into a war zone. Why aren’t you going? You’re the Head of department.”“Because the director said I shouldn’t.”I almost cussed at that, but I swallowed it down with effort. i wuld be comfortable a whole lot if i don''t have to be the only one with the director, that man has reputation of passing his frustration at anyone in sight.“You do realize there’s not one single person in this department who would happily sit next to that man and smile through an apology tour, right? He’s probably itching to destroy me right now.”She shrugged. “its not that bad""thats because he is your immediate boss""What do you want m
AdrianThe tires screeched like they were begging for mercy as Mug slammed the brakes. I didn’t wait for the car to settle—I pushed the door open and stalked toward the house. From the outside, it looked like nothing. Just another building in the suburbs. Inside? It was a different fucking world.This was where the scalpel meet the skin off record. Where real surgeons worked without politics breathing down their necks. Most people would call it an illegal surgical ring. I call it controlled rebellion. Every doctor here was licensed, trained, once elite—until the system spat them out for thinking too big, moving too fast, or fucking the wrong person. Literally, in one case.I passed Dr. Scott in the hallway—he was scheduled for a high-risk brain op today. Dude used to be a top-tier neurosurgeon until he banged his hospital director’s wife and got annihilated. Lost his license, reputation, and any right to wear a white coat in public. He wears it here. With hands steadier than half his
Sienna“Where the hell did you go?” My Head of Department’s voice cracked like a whip the second she saw me. “The writer finished your show. They aired it. You were the only one with vision for that episode and disappeared. Didn’t even send a damn note. Did you even watch it? Did they fuck it up?”“I haven’t watched it.”“Figures.” She crossed her arms, lips thin with judgment. “You said you weren’t taking a break. So what the fuck happened, Sienna? Why’d you ghost us?”“Ghost?” I blinked. “I barely fucking survived.”That stopped her. Her posture straightened, arms slowly falling to her sides.“What do you mean—survived?” Her voice dropped, less rage now, more alarm. “The cult? Did they come for you? I thought we had a fucking plan, Sienna. Why didn’t you call me?”“My phone was destroyed.”“Jesus,” she breathed. “That serious?”“Yeah. But it wasn’t the cult. I told the leader straight—I wasn’t gonna doctor the footage to make them look bad. I filmed exactly what I saw. Let the viewe
Adrian“Let’s just conclude something right now,” I murmured, my voice low against her temple, my arms wrapped around her. “You don’t run anymore, firecracker. All you do is give me a longer route to travel. And I’m a busy man.”She shifted slightly in my lap, not trying to escape—just settling in like her body didn’t believe her mouth anymore. Her lashes fluttered, casting shadows on her cheeks. She wasn’t asleep yet, but she was close. “If you're not the reason I’m running…” Her voice was soft. “Then the others are. They shot at me. Your girlfriends.”I smiled, “They won’t bother you again,” I said, matter-of-fact. “The ones who shot at you? Probably arrived in hell. Natasha and Isla…” I paused. “I’ll handle them.”The truth was, I didn’t know how yet. But whatever it was going to be, it would be permanent. I was already carving space in the dark for it.She lifted her head, her brows pulling together in suspicion. She looked at me like I’d just announced a funeral . “You’re not ki
SiennaI hated how much I needed him.That smug mouth. That stupid calm. The way he looked at me like he already owned me. And worse—how my body kept proving him right.His fingers dragged inside me again, slow and deep, and I whimpered before I could catch it. Loud, pathetic, soaked. Every time I tried to close my legs, his hand just flexed, palm pressing against that sensitive bundle of nerves like he’d mapped me already.“You’re dripping,” he muttered, kissing the corner of my mouth. “You gonna come already, just from my fingers?”“Fuck you,” I breathed, except it came out broken and needy.He laughed—low and warm and fucking dangerous. “Not yet.”He pulled his hand back, and I almost collapsed. My hips jerked, trying to chase him, but he held me still with that iron grip on my ass, like he already knew how bad I wanted more.My heart slammed in my chest. My thighs were soaked. I hated this.I hated how much I wanted him to ruin me.Then he grabbed the hem of my hoodie and dragged
