Semua Bab The Mafia's Songbird: Bab 101 - Bab 106

The sweet aroma of jasmine and ylang-ylang filled Callie’s senses. The sexy notes of the scents were perfect for seduction, for losing oneself in another.She had been led to a suite that looked nothing like the dorm room she was given. Heavy curtains lined the walls, helping with the room’s soundproofing.The lights were dimmed, giving the suite a soft glow, illuminating a king-sized bed to one side of the room, and a settee to another.It was perfect. Callie thought as she adjusted the blonde wig she had donned earlier that night. Just the right amount of sultry and sweet, enough to distract whatever fool Cullen Reich had decided to throw her way.If that bastard thought Callie would lie down and die, he was sorely mistaken. She would not have survived this long if she were weak.The songbird positioned herself on the settee, arranging the long-sleeved red robe that covered most of her body to fall perfectly around her.

Outside, windows shattered, and everything was in chaos.Callie didn’t even realize that Vin had covered her body with his, shielding her, holding her steady as explosion after explosion pummeled the house.“Hold that thought, sweetheart,” he whispered against her ear, smirking. “There’s something I need to take care of first. Hold onto me.”Before Callie could respond, Vin had her comfortably settled in his arms as he carried her out of the room.By the sound of the explosions, they came from the opposite side of the building—the least protected, but at least it was the farthest away from his safe room.Only members of his security teams and his circle knew of this weakness, but he chose to file that information away to dissect later. He needed to get Callie to safety first. These attacks would not stop until he had Reich six feet under.His m
