登入ADAM: The mafia boss learned the price of betrayal the hard way. A brutal ambush—masterminded by his girlfriend and his greatest rival—left him on the brink of death. His fate, however, was stitched back together by the unlikely hands of a stranger. SAMANTHA: A humble employee at one of his hotels, also scarred by heartbreak, became his only safe haven that night. She’s beautiful, strong, and—without realizing it—holds the key to mending Adam’s heart. But by saving the mobster’s life, Samantha signed her own warrant for danger. Adam’s rival not only uncovers the identity of the woman who saved him but develops a twisted obsession with her. Now, Adam must protect her from the chaos he brought into her life—while fighting the pull of desire toward his savior. In a world of shadows, where love is the most dangerous weapon of all, can Adam and Samantha heal the wounds of their past and embrace the second chance fate has written for them—before the enemy’s obsession destroys them both?
查看更多Samantha was already alone in the bedroom. Sophia and Alice had left, leaving her there with her thoughts and the mess she had made. They had already told her how upset Adam had been when he found out she had disappeared.She also already knew about the photo Simon had sent and the rest. She was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees, staring at the door. She wanted Adam to walk in and hold her… and at the same time, she dreaded the conversation that was inevitable.This wouldn’t be a discussion about a simple jealousy crisis, like the one at the club. She had doubted his feelings and his sincerity. And that had definitely hurt him.The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She didn’t know how she had ever believed it would be easy to leave behind what she felt for Adam. Now that she knew the truth, the mere possibility of losing him for good made her see just how involved she was.It was with Adam that she had truly discovered herself. It was with him that she had fe
In the office, the atmosphere between the two of them remained tense. In an attempt to break the tension, Adam offered a drink as a courtesy. The other accepted and walked around the office, paying attention to a picture frame with a photo of Adam and his siblings.“You seem very close to your brothers and sister.”“Yes. My family and the people I love are extremely important to me.”“You know that your council wants the marriage between Sophia and me, don’t you?” He got straight to the point.“Yes. And the same answer I gave the council, I can give you in person: I don’t accept it,” he replied without beating around the bush.Simon took a sip of his drink, analyzing the other’s answer, and continued:“Even if that is important for the cooperation between our organizations?”“Exactly. I can negotiate several terms between our organizations, partnerships, and collaborations, but my sister is not negotiable.” He wanted to make his position very clear.“I don’t know how it works in your
Their entry was cleared. Everyone was already aware of the visit, just as Adam had ordered. They drove in and stopped in front of the mansion. The driver opened the door, and the two of them stepped out, though Simon still made a point of helping her.“They’re here,” Sophia announced when she saw them through the window.Adam rolled his neck from side to side, a clear sign of all the tension he was carrying. Outside, before they reached the door, Simon gave her a warning:“Only step away from me when I say so, understood?”She nodded, and the door opened. Simon walked in smiling, not bothering to hide his amusement. She, on the other hand, looked serious and didn’t know who to look at first.Everyone was standing side by side, staring in their direction. In that moment, Samantha felt as if she were walking toward a firing squad.Adam glanced quickly at her. That look scanned for any sign that she might be hurt. Then he turned his attention back to Simon. She noticed the cold, fleeting
Simon was quite intrigued to know what had happened for her to react that way and asked her:“Why are you so afraid of him?”“That man is crazy. He’s been after me since the day I saved Adam’s life. That psycho even hurt my friend just to get to me. That’s why I’m asking you, Simon… please don’t let him know I’m here.” The request came out almost like a plea.He carefully considered what he had heard. Maybe that information could be used somehow, but first he would have to check what Oliver wanted with him.“Wait in the bedroom. I’ll let you know when he’s gone.”She didn’t think twice and quickly went to the bedroom. Simon signaled for the man to let Oliver in and spoke to himself about that information:“This is getting more and more interesting.”Samantha entered the bedroom and started looking for her belongings, especially her phone. She was worried about whether Simon would say anything about her being there. She thought about calling Adam but gave up on the idea. It was better
Samantha understood that this was genuine care from him. She took a deep breath, holding his dark brown gaze while his warm hand still rested on her face.“Okay… I get that you did it for my own good,” she murmured, lowering her eyes for a moment as if the words were hard to say. “I’m just not used
Samantha slipped into something light for heading downstairs: shorts that ended mid-thigh, snug enough to hug her curves, and a thin tank top that accentuated her breasts, leaving her cleavage naturally exposed without trying too hard. The fabric clung a little to her still-damp skin from the showe
Lunchtime had arrived. Adam returned home and decided to handle everything from there. He still hadn’t seen Samantha and didn’t want to leave without seeing her again. He sat at the office desk, signed some company papers, cleared pending organization matters, and organized everything for the upcom
Sophia took her hand first, giving it a reassuring squeeze. She noticed Samantha had gone a little serious after what she’d said.“First, take the pill I brought you. I heard about what happened and how sick you got during the chase,” she said, placing the tablet in Samantha’s palm.She stood up, g
