You Can Run But... Halos
He had five men in the car, more than enough for what the job entailed, and though he had believed everything Gia said over the phone, he knew he still had to be on the safe side, so he had three other vans behind him, undercover.Axel could hear her muffling in the booth, Contessa Venditti; oh, how he hated her; she was the only one who had seen through him throughout his years living in their house as Venditti's son.She had noticed his overprotective attitude toward Gia, and when she tried to pull her sister away from him, innocent Gia had trusted him so much and instead created a rift between her and her sister.She also saw him as a contender for the leadership of the Cartel if Venditti eventually retired; knowing her father, even if there wasn't Nathan, he'd rather have given it to the lowest-ranking soldier who was a male than to her.And all of that had contributed to her hatred towards him.And all those years he kept compiling what he was going to do to her; once he had Vend

He felt her shoulder tensing and her stomach doing a flip, and he sighed, placing his forehead on the back of her neck. breathing in her scent.Was that why he was behind her, so she didn't see his face when he spoke those words out in the room? to her ears?Or was she dreaming? "Zayne..." "I know, unbelievable."She wanted to nod, but she couldn't find her movement.The voice grew weaker. "I'm a wreck, every flaw you can find, I make the same mistakes all over again," his hand gripped hers, "and I hurt you in more ways than anyone could count."The side of his face was against her back, and her breath quickened; she felt trapped; she felt confused; he didn't only care... He also... was he okay?"When I saw you in the truck, Gianna, everything spelled a trap; the next move was to kill you, but I broke it."It wouldn't do with her back to him, she wanted to see his face when he said it to her, she wanted to find if there was any truth in that eyes."After I watched Matteo die, I was

And she made her decision.*He sat in the room, his legs crossed on the table, a cigar between his fingers as he watched the ceiling. Another night, but it wasn't just any night; this was the end of the fourth month.She hadn't made up her mind—or she had, but he couldn't tell because they hadn't crossed paths since that night. He'd made certain of it by keeping himself as busy as possible so that when he returned, the manor was quiet.Before proceeding to wash the blood from his body, he sat in this position, numbing himself with the weed and the alcohol.Today he decided to leave the alcohol.He wanted an almost clear mind when he watched her go, so he understood he was the only one invested—invested enough to be willing to risk everything.Or he was just looking out for himself; this was her dream he was talking about, a dream that had kept her going when she was at her lowest. How would he expect her to give it all up for him?Maybe because he could give it all up for her.The kn

Wasted.Drained.AchingFooledAnother fucking careless mistake, he couldn't explain, back against the ground, his clothes roughed up, the sting of her bites on his neck and shoulders.She was gone, gone before he had fully regained himself. Good for her; he would have lost it at the sight of her still beside him.Once again, he had fallen into her schemes. He sat up, ignoring the ache in his head, undoing the remaining buttons on his shirt as he walked into the bathroom.Hands flat against the wall, he let the water run down on him. The aftereffects of the drug had him staring down at his erection, which was gradually lying down.In anger, he washed her off him so hard there was almost a bruise, and he slammed his palms against the wall, placing his forehead on it. What had he done? Again?!It was nine in the morning already; sure, Jane was awake, but he wasn't prepared to return to the manor; he felt weak, used, and ruined. Though out of his will, she had gotten on with it, now relat
You Can Run But... Owning him
A week later and the room had him most of the hours of the day.Shame Guilt When he appeared to have everything in order, Sins called out and reminded him how much he didn't deserve Gianna.He tried to tell her several times what had happened that night when he believed she was gone. Tried to tell her when he held her hand during a walk on the beach with Jane in front of them...But then, losing her again wasn't what he wanted. He'd never been so afraid; he had never been so threatened.Alexa had called him two days after that night, and he could hear Nico's voice in the background; the call was filled with whispers and secrets."Don't get worked up, Zayne," she'd laughed over the phone, "that night was all I wanted; I promise not to tell anyone.""Your words don't mean sh*t, Alexa.""It hurts; that is all you can say after the best night of my life," she sighed. "Besides, I'm ready to let you go; you won't see me anymore; it's your fucking loss."That was the last he heard from her

2 MONTHS LATER..."I don't want a dress!" Jane stomped her foot on the ground, glaring at the blue ball gown Gia held in front of her like it was mold. "I want a suit like Zayne."Gia inhaled deeply, glaring at the top of the girl's head, unsure of what to do next, for she had tried everything, including threats of no dessert or no more outing, but Jane retained her stand.All thanks to Zayne, she breathed fire, spoiling the girl rotten and always giving her what she wanted when she wanted it, and Jane, knowing she had him wrapped around her fingers, also knew there were no limitations to what he could do for her."Why didn't you tell me all this when you watched me pick this out for you?" Gia had a stern look on her face.And that had Jane melting, with fake tears filling her eyes.Gia groaned, looking at the clock on the wall above the door; just an hour remained, and she was still in her robe, her hair still curled in rolls, with no sign of beginning her preparations before the banq

GIA'S POV.He had his back towards me, his tensed shoulders visible with the singlet he wore, his hand gripping the phone as he gritted into it, and he grabbed the chair before him."No," I could sense his irritation, "I thought we agreed on keeping things clear; what the fuck do you want now?"When he had that tone on, it worried me, for slowly, he began to withdraw into himself, and it took a ton to get him out. Whatever it was that was behind that phone had a hold on him.Most of what was said lacked content; they repeated the exact words, and this was the third time he picked up the phone.I encircled my hand around his waist, placing my cheek on his back, sighing when I felt him loosen up; sometimes, this was the only comfort he needed.He slammed the phone back on its hold, glaring down at it, but soon it was ringing again.I held his palm before he grabbed it, and he looked into my face.I raised a brow, "who's that?"He narrowed his eyes to the wall, but I brought it back on my
You Can Run But... Chaos
Author's POV. He had a hand stuck in his hair, pushing back while glaring at the smirk on her face. Alexa looked so proud of herself, and Gia couldn't stop staring; she was frozen."So darling," Alexa whispered, and he could see Gia wince. "Now that she knows I'm three months pregnant, what will we do about it? It's a boy, your flesh, and.....""Shut your mouth," he snapped at her, then walked over to Gia, holding her shoulders, "Gia, I should have told you; I wanted to; listen, it's not what you think, I swear."She struggled to open her lips and get a word out, but she was stuck. Alexa appeared pregnant, so it was apparent she wasn't lying about that one, and that confidence on her face was beginning to scare her."Did you..." Gia started, but then she swallowed, hating how shaky her voice sounded, and asked, "Did you sleep with her?"He shook his head, "It's not that sim...""Oh liar," Alexa rolled her eyes, coming closer, "he fucked me, Gia, like an animal.
