"Oh my God, Mani, it feels like ages since I last saw you." Stephanie screamed with excitement.I know you are wondering when all this happened. When Sin and I got home, we did make out, but nothing else happened because of nature, if you understand what I mean, so we just showered and cuddled together to go to sleep.The next day, which was the beginning of the weekend, Stephanie and I chatted and really missed her and wanted to see her; it was the same for her too, so we made plans to see her on Monday, which is today. I didn't give her a definite answer yet because I had to ask Sin first before going out of the house.Now that was a difficult task, seeing how stubborn Sin gets, especially when it comes to my safety. I just don't understand why, when I asked him to let me go shopping with Samantha, he agreed without any persuasion. I did my best to change his mind until he agreed on Sunday and we made a deal. If I were going out, I wouldn't be going alone; ten of his men, along with

I stared at the man, who was like a second father to me, shocked to see him here. My mind swirls at the possible thoughts of what he might be doing here and how he was connected to Sin for him to be invited to the house.And more importantly, was he aware of the kind of business that Sin runs?I continue to stare at him, taking in the series of emotions on his face, from shock to disbelief to fear and worry. But just as quickly as it came, his face went blank and void, looking nothing like the man I knew."Sorry I’m late; the traffic was hectic." He says this, bowing his head slightly to Sin, who gives a nod."There is no need to apologize; we were just about to start dinner." Sin says, ushering him to his seat with a hand.Uncle Carson nods, walking over to an empty chair beside Samantha, while Luca follows, sits beside him, and dinner commences.I tried as much as possible not to be bothered by this revelation, but the more I tried to focus on the conversation going around the table

The level of awkwardness during lunch with Uncle Carson was unbearable. He had a terrific sense of humour, and whenever we met, we would crack jokes about anything, but suddenly there were walls between us that neither of us could get over.At least not yet.After getting Sin’s approval for us to meet, I called him that morning, and we agreed to meet the next day at a restaurant for lunch. And like I promised Sin, I was sure to go with Mateo and two other men.The silence pulsed between us. As the waitress noted down our order and left, I reached for the glass of water and took a sip. The clinking sound of the knives and forks did its business in the background.Uncle Carson was the first to break the ice. "How have you been?""I’ve been good." I quipped, giving him a smile. His eyes searched my face for any hint of a lie, and he gave a small nod when he saw none."That’s good to know." He smiled, still studying my face."Wha...what about you? How have you been?" I stutter nervously,

God! Sin must be rubbing off on me if I am happy to see another being treated like this, but a part of me kept on whispering that she deserved it. Who gave her the right to stake a claim on my man? When he turned to look at me, I didn't know what had come over me. I decided to be a vixen and walked teasingly slowly towards him, swaying my hips, which caught the attention of other men in the room, and Sin's eyes darkened with his jaw clenched.Luna still stood close to him, but she wasn't holding him anymore. I reached where they were; I stepped between the two of them, and my arms were placed on his hard chest. He wrapped his hands around my waist, looking at me amused. I pulled his head down to mine for a kiss on the lips. I pulled away with a smile on my face, which he reciprocated."Who the hell are you?" Luna asked, pissed."His Queen, and who are you?" I looked back innocently, my arms still on his chest."Then you must be really ignorant if you believe that." She said. "Sin does

Mateo reached into his suit and pulled out a handgun, holding it at his side."Do not leave the car," he says sternly to Zoey and me. "Stay right here and put your head down." He opened the car door, I took heed of his words, and Zoey and I kept our heads down.I kept hearing the sound of gunshots being fired repeatedly. I slowly turned to the window side to peep at what was going on. There seems to be a set of men shooting at Sins men; there were more than twenty of them.I find my eyes wandering to where the bullet holes were at the front of the car seat. There were three holes: two at the front and one at the back. My whole body was stiff when I realized the direction of the bullet hole.This time, I was the target.I know being shot before should make me less terrified, but it didn’t. I was shaking in fear; they were so close. I could have died if not for the bullet that missed me by an inch. Who were these people?Could they be Sin's enemies, and they are trying to get to him by
