QUINN She twisted her wrists in my grip but I still didn't let go. "My mother. She was nothing like any other woman I know. She was quiet, calm almost as if scared to use her words. I often wondered how she agreed to marry my papa. She was so kind it often irritated me. I admired her, of course - she was so beautiful, I always thought she's what angels are described to look like. But she was weak," my fists tightened around her wrists and her breath shuddered. "One day she went to stay in the hospital for a whole week and ever since then she's never been strong. She was diagnosed with something I had no idea of. That night, I pushed her bedroom door open to find the man. He was the tallest thing I ever saw compared to my little height. His back was turned to me. He was staring at her, gun cocked, when I came in. Without thinking, I flung myself at him. I had succeeded in hitting the weapon from his hand. That's when he stabbed me. I sat there on the ground and watched him p

QUINN“You vouch for him?” Vetrova nods towards me.Lucia’s gaze didn’t waver. “Of course. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”She lifted the third glass to her lips, sipping slowly while I watched her from the corner of my eye.“Manuel Rodrig’s house is a citadel for the Family,” she continued calmly. “And I have his support.”Her hand slid onto my thigh. “We have his support.”“Now imagine,” I folded my arms and leaned forward, resting them on the table, “approving this alliance and having me in this circle. It's just like having Rodrig, himself. Lucia's with us - Rodrig's with us.”“Liability, No?” Lucia asked lightly, reaching for the glass Mateo just re-filled at the center of the table for her. “Asset, Yes?”“I control the highest branches of underground channels in the country,” I added. “Imagine the progress - for all of us.”Vetrova stroked his beard slowly. “You do have a point, Quinn. Your power matters.”“All power does,” I replied evenly, leaning back as Lucia pulls the glas

JANE As the coffee steamed up in my face I rubbed my temple slowly. It was still very early with nothing but the warm lights slipping through the kitchen windows.I took a sharp sip of my coffee and pushed the cup between my hands laid flat on the table.Just then, another pair of hands slides forward at each side of my arms and I feel Quinn's warmth behind me."Sneaking up to drink?" He murmured."It's just coffee."He leaned back, heading for the fridge in matching cardigan and joggers. He returns with two bottles of water and sits opposite me."So, the meeting from last night... Have there been other news?""Well, neither of us have spoken yet but I'm pretty sure there'll be. Soon," a bottle squeezes in his grip. "You amazed me again - you did really great last night.""I'm good," I raise my cup to him. "at what I do.""Except you almost ruined it in the end.""Ruined it? I just had a drink and the next thing you bundled me out. What's the point of going to the club if I can't dr

JANE My hands were constantly tapping at the table as I watched the clock. It was already a few minutes to midnight. Quinn should've been back by now. I paced back to my room and slithered up my bed, hugging my legs. When my eyes fell back to the reading table, they lingered for a while. I'd probably wake up to meet him sitting up there in the morning. Watching me.But he wasn't.The door pushed open and Emily hurried in, packing up my curtains for the late morning.Something didn't feel right. "Is Quinn back?" I asked."No ma'am," She said quickly and hurried into the bathroom to get my bath ready.I shake my head, getting up. "Why isn't he back?" "I don't know, ma'am. It's not in my place to know. He's usually away this much... Sometimes," she bends down to fix the bed sheets, her bob hair falling down her face."If something happened to Quinn, tell me!" She stood her face tightening suddenly."El jefe is a strong man. Nothing would happen to him," She said that she was ass
