He was right, the police couldn't do shit for me. I could see the pride in his eyes as he sneered at me, stalking ever closer until he was a mere breath away. A mere tantalizing breath away. "I own the police, Raven," He whispered, blowing air over my eyelids and they closed involuntarily. "That's…quite presumptuous Mr. Moretti," I mumbled, taking a step back. That seemed to make him even angrier because his nose flared and before I could blink twice, his arms were wrapped around my waist and my eyes narrowed fiercely when he held onto me rather tightly. "I own you!" He spat much to my irritation. I arched a brow in mockery. "What? Have you gone mad?" I scoffed, fighting the hold on me. I'd had enough of his tomfoolery.Luciano seemed to have a rethink of his actions. His eyes were wild with anger and as if he was disgusted, he pushed away from me and walked back to his desk. I stood rooted to the spot watching him settle down and resume working. Bastard! I thought with gritte

Athena"Gonzalez!"Here we go again. Another day. Another set of troubles set before me by the one and only Devil himself. The man of the hour who currently had thirteen murders to his name in the past two months. Give it up everybody for Luciano Moretti! I gripped the edge of the desk, staring at the computer screen. Oh, I was fucked. He'd asked me to type a damned report on some meeting we attended days ago. All I had was my scattered notes from that day. If he wanted minutes, he had a fucking secretary for that. But damn I could swear that ever since I came into his company, Miss Jane, his secretary, has been reigning like some washed-out queen. I literally did all her job plus mine! And now I had to submit some shitty report that I had been asked to type thirty minutes ago and all I had was a few lines and a doodle of a Luciano gasping for air as he sinks into oblivion. Pretty detailed if you asked me. "Gonzalez!" Luciano's voice permeated through the room again and I sighed,

AthenaA cool gentle breeze whipped through my hair as I ran down the streets of New York. The sky was just starting to lighten up, a mix of different shades of blue that blessed the morning with some kind of serenity. I needed that serenity, Too much had been happening and somehow they felt too fast and spiraling out of control. I hated losing my footing, my grip on a situation. I hated losing control. My running shoes hit the sidewalk quickly, cold air sifting through my nose, making it slightly hard to breathe with each step but I didn’t want to stop. Not for a minute. My goal was to achieve a blank slate for a mind. A mind that thought about nothing yet everything all at once. Ah, shit. I was turning poetic. It had to be the cold air getting to my brain. A wheeze came out from my nose and mouth and I was forced to stop by my oxygen-deprived brain. If I kept running, I might as well dig a grave for myself. There was no way I was dying while Luciano was alive though. That man irri

AthenaThere were two things. I was either a shameless whore, or I was out of my fucking senses. Somehow the rough feel of his fingers felt so fucking good. My head drooped in voluntarily, leaning against his shoulders as he played with my nipples. How had I missed that I had been naked right before his very gaze? Because I had been busy thinking. I had heard snippets of Luciano’s conversation with Marcus before the medicine the female doctor had dumped into my system kicked in. What I had heard wasn’t by far significant, but it confirmed two things for me. One, There was someone after Luciano and whoever they were, I needed to find them. If they got in the way of my plans, things would be damned deadly for us both. I would not let anything, or anyone stand in the way of my revenge.Two, Luciano had lied to me about who was responsible. "Stop thinking so much Cara," Luciano whispered into my ear, blowing warm intoxicating air over it that sent my body reeling. His hands became eve

Athena"What do you mean No?" Luciano demanded, his eyes flashing with something akin to amusement. I wanted to smack him in the face. I wasn't a monkey tied up for his amusement! "What you heard," I mumbled, looking away. "We will not be showering together!" Luciano grinned maniacally as if I had just cracked a dumbass joke and he was finding me- not the joke- hilarious. He leaned closer, tilting my head upwards until his face was a mere inches away from mine. I could never get over how warm his breath was. "It's adorable," he said darkly, "that you think you have much of a choice, Raven. There's no need to be modest all of a sudden. This was what you wanted wasn't it?" Oh shit, I should have known all my weeks of seducing Luciano would end up with me knee-deep in shit. "I-" Whatever I wanted to say died down in my throat. The asshole hoisted me off the bed, heading towards the direction of the bathroom. "Luciano," I called, my voice shaking in both fear and excitement. I hadn't
