51. Make My Own Paradise.

~LAYLA~My stomach flips.“Sexy?” I groan. “I don’t do sexy.”“Well you’re about to.” Brie blurts out so fast that soon enough, she is already listing out different fashion style ideas, her mouth and mind moving faster than I can keep up.“We need something of a bold color,” she taps her chin. “Something elegant and eye-catching. Blood Red, maybe. Or black.”“Or a dreamy combination of both. Either of them will absolutely go well with your hair, Layla.” Zuby shifts closer to me and eyes me like she is assessing every physical part of my body that her eyes can see. “You have those damn curves too. You just never show them off enough.”“I don’t think—”“No,” Zuby cuts me off in a sweet but firm voice. “No thinking. You said yes. That’s it. Now we make you look like the badass beauty that you are.”Brie giggles in agreement, and Zuby gives her a ‘high five’. They are smiling. They are happy. Not just for themselves, but for me as well.I want to be happy like they are too, but I feel lik

52. What Is It?

~KIRA~Daddy's bunker smells like dust, damp concrete, and rusted metal. I can barely even remember the last time I came here, but I am sure it is over three years now. Even though this bunker is an abandoned place hidden underground and miles away from the Bloodhounds’ border, it is still the perfect place for this meeting.Isolated. Quiet. A place hidden underground without ever seeing the light of day.After settling down beside Dad on a chair made of steel, I cross my arms underneath my breasts and try to mask my disgust as I watch Ryker Lockhart sternly. The single bulb hanging above the table separating us from Ryker flickers every few seconds.Ryker’s rugged face has a deep, dreadful scar bifurcating across his left cheek. His mouth tilts at the corner, more of a sneer than a smile, and he is watching me. Assessing me the way a hunter sizes up a wounded animal before deciding whether to kill it or let it bleed out for sport. I hold his attention and lift my chin, refusing to b

53. Watch It All Burn.

~KIRA~Whatever Ryker has, whatever he knows, I have a feeling that it might just be the key to finally tearing Layla apart piece by piece.And I will be there to fucking watch her crumble.“Payment won’t be an issue,” Dad’s voice breaks the silence. “You’ll have your money, Ryker.”The entire room somehow is starting to feel colder now, the kind of bone-deep cold that has nothing to do with the dampness or the smell of rusted metal of the underground bunker. It has to do with Ryker’s silence and behavior, the way he leans back in his chair like he fucking owns the place.“Money is good,” a smug grin tugs at one of the edges of Ryker's mouth as he rhythmically taps his rough looking fingers against the table’s surface in a slow pattern, “but money is not going to be enough.”“What the hell do you mean?” I blurt out sharply. His eyes shift to meet my face instantly, and once again, I find myself noticing how fucking cold and predatory those eyes are.“I want something else added to the

54. Creepy.

~LAYLA~I make it through the days that turn into a week without any run-in with Raelin. It is strange how silence can feel both louder and yet kind of comforting at the same time, but yeah, that is my current situation. Since that day I saw him with Kira seducing him like that, there has been a crack growing deeper and deeper inside my chest.Some days, I don't feel the pain, but on the days that I do, I find it hard to ignore and not lose myself in it. I haven’t sought him out. I tell myself it is because I am giving him the space he probably thinks I need, but the truth is I don’t want to talk to him.At least not yet. I am angry, but most important of all, I feel hurt. Somehow, I am grateful for the anger I feel because it keeps my painful sadness at bay sometimes. I just feel like even though I want to speak with him, I just think I can't bear to hear whatever explanation he might offer because I am not sure if I want it to be a misunderstanding or a painful truth.Today's morni
