MAVERICK’S POV

“Get the fuck out of here, Penelope.” My voice was clipped and tinged with an edge of darkness, one that sent men scurrying away like a scared cat.

A high pitched laugh tore from her ruby red lips as she walked around the mahogany desk separating us and placed her manicured fingers on my chest.

“I don’t think I did anything wrong.” She leaned closer and whispered into my ear.

It was funny how she thought her seduction would work on a man like me who had eyes for just one woman and has been obsessed over her for six years.

If not for the fact that I don’t lay my hands on women, Penelope’s dead body would be an eye sore for anyone who came into my office, but I didn’t do any of that.

Her death would be too much of a mess to take care of.

“You did something unforgivable.” My voice hardened as I thought about what she did earlier, while I was on a call with Kaida.

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   The End

    KAIDA’S POVCold from the tiled hospital floor sipped into my skin, enough to make me shiver and cower but I felt nothing other than numbness.Even if a dagger was sent stabbing into my flesh, I highly doubted I would be able to feel even a single prick or pain from it. Yes. That was how numb I felt at that moment.I wasn’t myself and neither could I tell if my soul was in my body or out of it.Everything around me stilled and my world tilted on its axis.There was no more Maverick.The man that made my heart fluttered.The hockey player with a filthy mouth that made me annoyed, happy and wet.Those oceanic blue eyes of his that always took my breath away and had me on chokehold a number of times.I wouldn’t be seeing them any more. Not for a short while, for freaking eternity.Maverick fucking Jensen, the strong mafia lord was lying dead in the operation room, with no sign of life or whatsoever in him.“Kaida…” Doctor Tems reached forward and knelt in front of me, engulfing my fragi

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   What if she had listened?

    KAIDA’S POVWhy did it have to be him?Why did it have to be Maverick who pushed me into the lake six years ago?It should have been someone else and not him. But it seems the universe doesn’t want us to be together. It is against our relationship, hence, the constant hardship we faced.I had almost given in when he was in New York to protect me. I almost fell for those sharp jaws covered in bear that made him more handsome, those ocean blue eyes that made me feel at peace each time my heart and mind was in chaos. Sigh! I was a step away from giving in, but flying to Alaska had opened my eyes to reality.I initially flew over there for a visit to my Aunt, but when we strolled to the lake behind her building, somehow, my memories, the one containing the person who pushed me into the lake from behind six years ago, came rushing into my head like a flood.I had a nose bleed because of those memories and when the person’s face came to view, I almost collapsed.I almost doubted my memory,

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   Painless death

    MAVERICK’S POVI was in a daze all through the night and how I returned to my office the previous night, I had no idea.I had already prepared myself for what might happen when Kaida finds out the truth, but now that she did, her words sliced through me like a sharp edge of a sword.I had pictured her reaction over and over again for the past one year, but seeing it happen right in front of me, hurt like a bitch.She said it right to my face that she never wants to see me again, and truth be told, I wasn’t ready for that.I can’t fucking bear to stay away from her after one year of separation, due to some bastards called the Irish mafia.They were the reason why we had drifted apart.They were the fucking reason why I had hurt her so badly that she might not forgive me…..fuck.I have to end them for all these to come to an end. I would fucking kill and burn down their clan myself.“Have they made a move lately?” I asked the head of my security, my hands in my pocket as I stared at th

    MAVERICK’S POVIt has hours upon hours, yet, not a single trace of her. We had no clues on where to start the search from. What if the Italian mafia had her?What if they hid her in a place where she couldn’t be found?What if…Fuck it!I fucking had to find her or the world will be doomed from my wrath.“Any signal?” I asked, standing in the part way, dividing both my cyber teams, who were working really hard to find Kaida.“No, Boss. I don’t think she’s in New York.” The moment those words left his lips, a frown appeared on my face and my eye brows shot up, almost reaching my hairline.“What do you mean?”“The reason we couldn’t find her anywhere is because she's currently out of our tracker and out of the country.” My head of the Cyber team said.Why would she be out of New York City?I doubted she had any relatives in cities other than New York, so why?“Extend our tracker and find her. Even if she’s on another continent.” I barked.“But Boss…”“Would you do it or die a painless
