“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

  • Twisted Obsession: The Mafia's obsession.   Meeting Adrian

    SiennaWorking for eight days straight has to be a violation of my human rights—except I can’t sue anyone but myself. Even my own boss had been telling me to rest. But if I, Sienna Carter, didn’t get to the bottom of this story and publish it, today would have been a bad day for me. I would’ve been at home, rotting away, still thinking about how I could be finishing the story.I smiled to myself, bobbing my head to the cool music playing in the bar I had just stepped into. My gaze swept across the room, and I can’t lie—maybe I overdid it. I wanted to celebrate my milestone in journalism, but instead, I may have just walked into a place where I’d blow my entire paycheck in one sitting.The atmosphere was smooth, almost too refined to be a bar—at least not the kind I was used to. Different corners had different vibes, different themes, different drinks. Naturally, I headed for the coolest one, the darkest one. Fitting since I was a crime journalist, anyway.I nodded at the bartender and

    Adrian“Tell the guys to leave. 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 hadn’t seemed nervous all night.Before I walked up to her, she was about to be snatched by one of the guys Michael had ordered to grab her. A quirky little thing, trying to sneak shots of my men like she was invisible. At first, I thought Dominic had sent her to spy on us. But one look at the way she fumbled, the way her ID peeked from her bag, told me otherwise.She wasn’t a plant.She was just a nosy, reckless investigative journalist.And fuck if that didn’t thrill me.Not just because she was drop-dead gorgeous—which I’d already clocked before she started recording—but because this was hands down the most dangerous thing I’d done in years.Hooking up with a journalist.

    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 it, along with the lingering soreness between my legs, and pushed myself up.Big mistake.The second my feet hit the rug, my legs buckled, and I collapsed right back onto the bed. Heat rushed to my face as I yanked the covers over me, hoping to bury the embarrassment along with myself. But no matter how deep I tried to disappear, I felt him—felt every reminder of what we’d just done, the ache throbbing between my thighs.And him?He said nothing.Just let me wallow in my humiliation, watching in silence while I struggled to figure out what the hell came next.Do I just leave?Say nice to meet you?Ask for his damn name?No. Screw that. I was angry.I spent the entire time tied up, unable to

    Adrian"What are you doing here?" I asked as I took my seat beside Sienna."What do you mean, what am I doing here?" she shot back, a little too sharp, a little too defensive.I didn’t have time for this. My gaze flicked to Natasha. "You’ll take care of her, right?"She gave a firm nod before shrugging off her bartending apron and disappearing into the back.I scanned the room, subtle but efficient, and my guys nodded in silent confirmation. We dodged the ambush.Minutes ago, I had just returned from an international business event—something about cultural unity, whatever the hell that meant. My liquor company had been handpicked to create a limited edition release for the upcoming summit. Good for business. Great for credibility.But just after the contract signing, Michael called.Dominic was making his move.The bastard had been trying to get his right-hand man back—the one we’d been holding for three days now. And knowing Dominic, he wouldn't come at us head-on. He’d send an ambus

    SiennaThe weight of what had just happened crashed down on me.I had basically been kidnapped.Shoved into a luxurious car with a mafia leader—or gang leader—or whatever the hell he was—the man I hooked up with last night.And now? I couldn’t escape.The more I stared out the window, the more civilization faded away. Buildings turned to empty roads. Roads turned to nothing. No people. No signs of life.A cold dread crept up my spine. My mind reeled.This year was supposed to be my fresh start. I wanted to make my life better.Instead, I’d walked straight into my own grave.I turned to the man beside me. I still didn’t know his name.Tears I hadn’t realized were there slipped down onto my lap. I caught my reflection in the tinted glass—I looked like a mess."Sir." My voice was barely a whisper.I made myself small, curling in on myself. What was he going to do to me?Flash after flash of horror filled my mind. Trafficking? Murder? We were in the middle of nowhere. No one would ever fi

    “Boss,” Natasha called as she stepped closer, heels silent on the marble floor. I was just finishing buttoning my shirt.I turned to her, my eyes cold at the thought of Dominic. “Did they find something?”She shook her head. “Dominic’s all bark. Half the contacts he brags about don’t even exist.”“Then why are we still talking about him?”She hesitated. “It’s the girl.”I paused. “What girl?”“The one you picked up from the club. She saw too much. I don’t like her sitting alone in that room. And I really don’t like not knowing what she’ll do next.”I glanced over my shoulder as I stepped out into the hallway. “I’ll handle it.”Her lips pressed into a line. Not satisfied. Not reassured. I couldn’t blame her. Especially not if the rumors were true—that Sienna wasn’t just some pretty thing with a journalist job. Natasha had found out about her record earlier this morning, and she is pretty impressive. She is one of the dangerous ones. The kind that are criminals' worst nightmare, I hear

    SiennaWhat the hell. What the actual hell is going on?I was lying flat on the cold bathroom floor, heart crashing against my ribcage like it wanted to rip through my skin. My palms burned as I pushed the bathroom door shut, quietly, cautiously—like even the sound of breath could give me away. My mind was sprinting faster than my feet ever could.I’m not dying here. Not in this place. Not like this. Not after being stupid enough to go look for one night stand again. Thirty minutes ago, I was pacing the room like a caged animal, staring at the same four walls I'd already memorized twice over. Trying to plot my escape out of here, That’s when I noticed it—another door. Not the bathroom. Different. Smaller. Tucked somewhere in the walk in closet like it didn’t want to be found or wasn't meant to be foundCuriosity did what curiosity always does. It dragged me by the throat.I moved—just a step. Just one.CRACK.A gunshot. A real one. The wall beside me splintered open, the bullet car

    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

    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 wrapped in fire, always talking, always loud—but somehow, she made every space feel like it had a pulse.“You’re right,” I said easily.She spun toward the window, a hiss escaping her like she was holding back steam. “Don’t start with that. I see the trick—you agree with everything, and suddenly I’m the one yelling at myself like a lunatic.”“You mad?”“I can’t even be mad. You could literally kill me. My whole situation is messed up.” Her voice cracked just a little at the edges, more panic than anger now.“You’re being dramatic.”“Oh, am I? Says the man whose life didn’t get flipped upside down just because I touched the hand of some charming psycho at a club.”“You’ve got a point,” I said

    SiennaMy head throbbed like someone had hit me with a plank on the head. I pressed a hand to my temple and pushed myself off the couch, groaning as the room spun around me.Why the hell do I have to leave?My eyes landed on the fat wad of cash and the unfamiliar iPhone on the coffee table.Right. That’s why.I stumbled toward the bathroom. My fingers trembled as I twisted the faucet. Cold water roared to life and I stepped under it fully clothed, breath catching when the shock hit my skin. The chill grounded me—washed away some of the panic, at least for now.“This is it. I love my life,” I muttered, a shaky whisper, not even believing it myself.But my mind betrayed me anyway.Images from the last three days crashed through me—blood on tile, bodies on floors, screams that still echoed in my ears. I flinched at the memory of the gunshot, at how close it had come. I’d thrown the word death around like it was a game, like it wasn’t real.But it was real. Too real. I'd seen more people

    Adrian“Where’s Felipe?” I asked calmly, but it sliced through the haze as I entered the underground club.The ceiling strobes pulsed like a party for 100 was going on, casting shadows that crawled over the cracked walls. My eyes twitched from the distraction.“Kill the lights,” I ordered flatly.The flickering died, and the room dimmed into something tolerable—just the steady thump of bass in the background.Felipe appeared out of nowhere.I glanced around, trying to clock where he came from, but the bastard was slippery—like he stepped out of the wall itself.“Natasha said you were here,” I said, reaching for a chair. One of the guards moved to help.I shot him a look. He froze. I sat on my own and flicked my fingers once. Felipe and the others took their seats.“Yeah,” Felipe said, clearing his throat. “I’m here. Just... wondering how Natasha knew.”Too fast. Too defensive. Like he was already bracing for an accusation that is yet to come.I leaned back, studied his face, his eyes

    SiennaAdrian’s car had barely disappeared into the night when I felt it—that uneasy drop in my gut. I lowkey didn't want to see him again, but at this moment, I wished he had stayed a little longer.He left me in Natasha’s care, and the second she opened her mouth, it confirmed what my instincts already screamed.That voice.I knew it...I remembered it, sharp and cold from back at the country estate—wherever the hell we’d flown in from. “She’s probably bled out by now. Wasting our time.” That was her, the lady who said that when they came looking for me back then.She’d said it like I was roadkill. And now, she was supposed to protect me? I bet she doesn't give a damn about my life.Yeah. No thanks.Her back was to me now, her heels clicking against the pavement like a countdown I didn’t ask for, her posture too relaxed for someone who should guard me home. She drifted toward the group of guys Adrian had roughed up earlier, still nursing bruised egos, i guess.And I? I just stoo

    Adrian“Look, just let me go,” she said, voice trembling like she was trying to keep it together. Brave. Stupid. Sexy. “Like I said earlier, I won’t tell anyone a damn thing, I swear.”She had those wide, pleading eyes again—like she was begging, but still ready to throw a punch if I stepped closer. Fire and panic. That cocktail she always wore so well.“Why should I let you go?” I asked, voice flat. Testing her. Teasing her.“Because I don’t belong in this world,” she said, pressing a hand to her chest like that’d make me believe her innocence. “You dragged me into it to shut me up, right? But if I ever say a word about this… kidnap me again. I’ll come willingly. Hell, you can take me out of this world entirely.”I laughed—quietly, dry. She had no idea what kind of promises she was making with a mouth like that.“I almost lost you today, Sienna.” My voice dropped, sharp and sudden. “I don’t appreciate the sound of that.”She blinked. “You take people out. That’s what you do.”“Not yo
