LOGINJapheth I gasped awake as I opened my eyes but all I could see was darkness. My head pounded so hard and I could feel dried on my face, making me groan as I tried to move my body.I froze when I realized that my hands were tied behind my back and I was bound to a wooden chair, the ropes tied so tight that I could barely move. Not even my fingers.What the fuck?I was blindfolded, which was why I couldn't see anything and gagged so I wouldn't be able to make a noise.All I remembered after the car crashed was someone hitting my head and then I woke up here. Was this abduction planned by Matteo?I heard the door open and I tensed, my breathing becoming heavy as I heard footsteps walk into wherever this place was. “I think he's awake.” A soft female voice filled my ears and my brows furrowed as I was expecting to hear men's voices.The blindfold was ripped from my face the next second, making me wince as I closed my eyes. After blinking my eyes open again to adjust to the bright light,
Japheth I frowned as I stared at the peephole for longer, waiting for Stephen to show up but there was no one there. “What the fuck?” I whispered as I walked away and returned to the couch. Did I hear wrongly?Not less than five minutes later, the doorbell rang again and this time, my heart rate picked up as I made my way to the door again. My heart finally calmed down when I saw Stephen standing by the door, the sun already setting behind him.I pulled the door open and he stepped in, a grin on his face as he held a digital camera over his neck.“Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” I asked in despair and he frowned, looking at me in confusion.“What are you talking about?”“Didn't you ring the doorbell five minutes ago?” I questioned, making him look at me like I was messing around. “You didn't?”“I just got here. Why would I ring the doorbell and disappear?” He questioned back and my brows creased even more as I let out a sigh of despair.Who the hell was it then?“Anyway,
Japheth “You can't keep him safe forever.”That was all the message said. My heart pounded harshly as I dropped his phone back on the nightstand and stared at the ceiling in worry.The mission was getting more dangerous and I knew it. I genuinely hoped it didn't have to get to a point where I would have to fight for my life to escape.I glanced at the sleeping mafia heir who was holding me like he was afraid to let go. Caressing his hair gently, I let out a sigh and wrapped my arms around him as I tried to fall asleep.Why did I have to fall for him?I ended up falling asleep after a few hours and had a nightmare that Aaron found out the truth about my identity and held a gun to my head. Just when he pulled the trigger, I jolted up from bed, my heart about to burst from my chest.“Love, are you okay?” I heard Aaron ask as he sat up, taking my hands gently, and I let out a shaky breath as I nodded.“Just a nightmare.” I confessed and his face relaxed as he pulled me in for a hug. I he
Japheth Aaron stiffened against me the minute those words left my lips. I froze too, not meaning to say that out loud.“What did you say?” He asked as he pulled back, his wide eyes searching mine and I swallowed nervously.“I'm tired of pretending.” I whispered truthfully. “You heard me right, I love you.” He looked like he couldn't believe that I actually said that and sat up, running his hand through his hair. I pushed the blanket off me and sat up too, looking at him in worry.“Aaron?”“One minute, please.” He replied, his eyes closed, and I suddenly wished I had never said those words.“I'm sorry…” I whispered but he finally turned to me with his brows furrowed. “I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable by saying that—”“No, love, no. Uncomfortable?” He asked in disbelief. “I'm just… trying to process the fact that you actually said you love me. You really mean that?”“I won't say what I don't feel.” I said softly as I reached for his hand and he intertwined our fingers together. “
Japheth “Combat?” I asked with raised brows and he nodded, his fingers brushing my hair gently. “Why should I learn combat?”I knew a little combat from my training when I wanted to join the police force. So yes, I could defend myself and use the gun. “Just in case?” He muttered and then let out a sigh. “Just so you can defend yourself when the time comes, love.”“When the time comes? Should I be scared?” I asked and he finally sat up while I sat up with him.“Not exactly. I just don't want to take any risks. Matteo can be quite… deranged sometimes. He would do anything to get rid of what makes him inconvenient.” He confessed and I placed my hand on my chin.“What does Matteo look like?”“A bully.” He replied with a scoff and I snorted. “He's got a scar by his right eye and it makes him look so terrifying. But he's just a big bully who likes getting everything he wants and then throws a tantrum when he doesn't get it.”So he's got a noticeable feature. Good.“Why do you ask?” He sud
Japheth “Am I in trouble?” I asked with raised brows, unable to understand what was going on with him and he let out a sigh.His shoulders dropped as he suddenly pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly like he was scared to let go. What could have happened?“If anything happens to you because of me I won't be able to forgive myself.” He whispered, clinging to me tightly and I slowly relaxed, rubbing his back gently.“Nothing will happen to me, Aaron. Just tell me what's going on.” I probed softly and he pulled back, his hands cupping my face gently.“Remember Matteo?” He questioned and I paused to think. “My brother that I told you about?”Of course, I remembered him. I already had his name up on my investigation board. Which I created only this morning because what kind of detective doesn't have an investigation board?“The one who made you late the last time?” I asked and he nodded. “Yeah, I think I do. What happened to him?”“He found out about… us.” He muttered and my eyes wi
Japheth “You can always rest some more. Go back on Monday.” Steve said as he drove to the university and I sighed softly.“I'm not a kid, Steve, I'm fine already,” I muttered and he stared at me for a while. “Pay attention to the road or we'll get into an accident.”“I know you're returning becaus
Japheth The loud slam on the desk echoed like a gunshot. It echoed through the classroom like a cleaver, slicing the atmosphere in half. I froze as my heart beat in my chest and as every head in the room turned toward the source of the sound. Aaron Martinez. His hand was still flat against the
Aaron“Fuck…” I grunted softly, my hand pumping my cock as fast as I could, my eyes tight shut as I imagined his big brown eyes staring at me with need. His hands were so slender that I couldn't help but picture them wrapped around my cock while I praised him for being a good boy.The pit of my sto
Aaron“I could put a bullet in between your brows right now if you keep being so stupid.” Matteo blabbered, twirling the 9mm Sig Sauer between his fingers like that pocket pistol weighed nothing.“I'm going to college, Mat. That's considered stupid?” I asked, my back relaxed against the door frame.
