Leilani Lily and I both stared at each other. My eyes were filled with anger and confliction, as well as hurt. I was so hurt by everything she said. Was I selfish for following my heart? Was I selfish for not wanting to hurt Neil by letting him know what I had done? Was it my fault that Adonis never, ever told me anything about himself? The only thing he willingly told me was his time as an underground racer and why he quit it.I knew nothing else about him.Neil had mentioned that he had trauma and a few things that happened back when they were kids, but nobody told me of Adonis’ biological father being in jail. No one told me his father hated him to the point of threatening him with a gun. I only know Adonis gets very riled up when anyone uses the word 'bastard' on him, as Freya was fond of doing. But listening to Lily now, I just realized I knew nothing.Despair. Sorrow. Heartbreak over heartbreak. Th

 Adonis I had been hyper active ever since that fucking monster popped up in our lives again. It felt like I was fucking high on some drug, and my blood was charged to pump through my veins at the highest pressure. I was fucking damn restless. My mind kept tricking me into thinking he was lurking in every corner and every shadow was his, plotting and planning. But he would never fucking catch me off guard ever again.Dominick was serious about filing a restraining order, to make sure he could not come anywhere near Cora without getting himself thrown back in jail. And in the process of doing that, we had fucking found out that the fucker was not supposed to be out of jail… yet. Some external influence had gotten his release date shifted forward so he could be released earlier. If after getting released before the legal date, the first thing he did was to come stalk me and threaten Cora, then it was obvious that the mo

Leilani It all looked like slow motion. Rita, turning white in the face. Neil’s eyebrows furrowing as he looked down at the little boy that was grinning up at us. Me, slowly blinking as I registered the striking familiarity of those baby blue eyes…and that cute, flashy smile. My eyes slid back to look at Neil, unable to wrap my head around the thought that suddenly crossed my mind.I looked back at Rita. “You have a son?” My tone was full of disbelief. It was unbelievable. Rita was basically the same age as me, and she was single. She had been single… for a long time…it seems. Although, nobody knew what she had been up to during her time in the Philippines… how could a little boy suddenly come into the picture.She looked absolutely horrified, her hands shaking. “It’s none of your business.” Her voice was shaky as she turned around and grabbed him by the arm but he skittered f

 Adonis When Leilani gathered her wits back, she threw our asses out of the house. Neil had stormed off earlier, and Freya followed soon after. Then, when she got over her suicidal episodes, she made us leave the fucking house and locked it down. I did not fucking say a word to Cora. I was pissed from how the entire shit turned out, the bandages around my fists were a mess of fresh blood since my old cuts had reopened from the fight with Neil. At least, I had succeeded in spitting out all of the fucking blood in my mouth.Cora had said nothing to me either. She was too shocked or angry. Or both. So, she simply got into the Jeep that had brought her here and let the security drive her back home.So here I fucking was, sitting in my Jeep, trying to fucking change my bandages and clean up from that messy fight, while my eyes kept straying to the gigantic house, which hid Leilani away. And she had locked it down to the la

“It was you?” She whispered. I was in so much outrage that I wanted to yell, but I had no voice to even do so. Brooke was the unknown person who poisoned Cora?! It all made sense. Adonis’ bug fists clenched around Brooke’s arms, nearly crushing the bones out of rage. “You did what?”Brooke winced in pain. “Do whatever you want! I don’t care! Even if you kill me right now, there are other accomplices, hidden people who will still come after all of you! This is more than you can escape, Leila. We have the higher command, who let’s us have our revenge while doing their dirty work. I have had my revenge on you, and someone else will take over, like how I took over from Tina.” Brooke glared at me with so much hatred and envy. “I have always hated you, Leila. Right from the beginning. I only recently got the opportunity and resources to completely wreck your life. I HOPE THE NEXT PERSON SUC
