REBECCA'S POVI knew that something was up the moment Alyssa wasn’t back in my office even though it was already past twenty minutes.My heart drummed as I made my way into the hallway. Even though I didn’t think much about it, working with me was going to put her at risk because I was literally an enemy magnet at this point.My own family wasn’t an exception.I almost walked past the break room when a low, stern voice etched with a faint sense of mockery that I recognized all too well boomed through my ears.I locked eyes on the crowd, only then did I turn fully to see what was going on.Alyssa! Shock rippled through me, seeing the way she trembled like she was going to collapse any minute.I rushed into the situation and I felt something trip off right inside my head when Alyssa told me the person who hurt her was Anna."Anna, just how low can you go." I gritted my teeth, watching as she tried her best to avoid eye contact with me.Before I could get a response from Anna, another w

REBECCA'S POVI averted my eyes away from his. "Just because you believe something doesn't make it true."Kendrick let out a scoff. "Really? Then look at me. Tell me that you don't want me... that last night..."His voice faltered like it was about to crack all over. I hated the way he sounded, worse, I was the one making him feel that way.The truth? Last night was incredible.A part of me wanted to tell him how I really felt, but even as my lips parted with a quiver, not a single word came out.Heat pricked at the corners of my eyes. Why did I have to feel this way? Why did love feel like both salvation and punishment at once?“Becca… look at me. Please.”Kendrick’s voice was low and calm. Before I could say anything, his hands were already there, cupping my face with a gentleness that made my heart quake. His thumbs brushed along my cheeks as my lashes fluttered, trying to hold back the tide.“Tell me what I did wrong,” he whispered, the words breaking against me. “No matter what

Felix’s POVBlood and fire coursed through my veins as I walked through the hallway. That bastard had once again humiliated me.But I was not going to let this slide.I dipped my hand into my pocket, taking out my phone as I dialed Ingrid’s number.She was the best chance I had to take down that man.The Belmont was one of the strongest in the city, almost the same as the Reyes.Let’s see how much of a douchebag he’ll be when he’s at war with the Reyes.My phone was still buzzing when I felt a hand on my shoulder.I whipped my head toward the direction, panic settling inside me, because if that man had caught up to me then it was going to be hell.I could still feel my stomach—my back aching from that kick.But this grip was lighter, then slender hands curled around my waist, the scent of Anna’s perfume brimming into the air. My eyes rolled instantly.“Anna, stop this. Don’t you know that we are at work?” I said, locking my hand around her grip so I could free myself.There was so muc

FELIX’S POVI wasn’t dumb not to tell when a woman wanted me.The way her eyelids battered. I knew the kind of payment she was asking."I have a woman in my life," I said bluntly, tracing the way her fingers brushed over the lines of her shirt."Really? That’s sweet. You made an exception for my cousin. You could do the same for me." She smiled sweetly. "Besides, she doesn’t have to know. Given your years of concealing your deception, you will have a few good ideas to keep the terms of this partnership secret."My fist tightened. I had to pull the only leverage I had left between my grasp.If I wasn’t important, she wouldn’t be wasting her time here with me."Miss Belmont…""Call me Ingrid. I prefer it that way." She pursed her lips."Miss Ingrid. I have a fiancée, I can’t do what you are asking. I’m sure there are other men to satisfy your… needs.""Hmmm, bummer. That’s true." She tilted her head. "But I think you will do just fine. I have my reasons. Anyways, if you can’t give me wh

REBECCA'S POVThe moment he whipped his head in my direction I launched my fist into his face, decking him so hard my own bones ached from the impact.He groaned, hands flying to his nose. Blood stained his hand, but I didn't care. He deserved every single blow."Rebecca, are you out of your mind?" he yelled."Yes. Giving five years of my life to you is already more than enough reason to make anyone go insane. The more I stare at you, the more I am reminded of the bad decision I made."His eyes searched mine with confusion. I had promised myself not to do anything physical to him, but seeing Felix going to see William—now, after days, weeks—when he hadn't shown up for weeks after his family tried to murder my son..."Rebecca, I don't know what is going on with you. I don't even want to talk about the fact that you unjustly cut Anna's pay because you were pissed off," he sneered, caressing his nose. The blood slipped from one of the wounds and the urge to just break the whole damn thin
