Daisy. “Remember to turn off the lights and the gas before you leave, Marcy,” Lawrenta said as she slipped the strap of her purse over her shoulder. “And also, don’t forget to wipe the tables and—”“I got it, Lawrenta. You don’t have to worry,” I replied with a small smile.She stared at me as if she was about to add something more. “The back door—”“I know; I won’t forget to lock it, and I’ll check the meats in the freezer. I got this,” I repeated, but she still didn’t look satisfied.This was the first time she was trusting me to lock up, and that was only because she was in a hurry and couldn’t do it herself with a few customers still in the restaurant.She rubbed her hands together and sighed. “I’ll be leaving now, but don’t forget to call me if you need anything. I—”“Lawrenta,” I called her name, half laughing. She was funny when she was worried. “Everything will be fine. I promise.” I guessed that was all she wanted to hear.She muttered something under her breath, wished me g

Adriano. I stared at Devil's Hell and let out a sigh before walking inside. I could tell Luciano wasn’t here yet, which was another bonus for me. I was still undecided about whether I wanted to be here or not; seeing Luciano would definitely sway my decision. As I walked into the office, I was surprised to find Carlos sitting on the couch like he owned the place. "What are you doing here?" he asked as soon as I was seated. "I could ask you the same thing, considering this is my brother's office and not yours." He scoffed at my response. "Unlike you, I have a meeting with your brother, and he will be here very soon. So, Adriano, what are you doing here?" he asked again. I had no answer, so I rested my head on the couch and closed my eyes. I needed a little peace and quiet in my life more than I needed liquor and girls. Fuck! I couldn’t even remember the last time I craved a woman. Well, I could but it didn’t exactly go well. I had already gotten her naked and was ready t

Daisy. The sound of rattling chains woke me up. I blinked, trying to adjust to the bright light in the room. Frowning, I looked around, wondering where I was. The last thing I remembered was locking up the store, and… shit! I tried getting up but winced in pain. My head hurt like hell. I let out a groan and attempted to rise again, but it was no use; it felt like I was tied down to whatever I was lying on. My whole body felt heavy against the cold ground, and I was barely breathing, yet completely aware of what was happening around me. I was aware that we were about to board the private jet to my uncle's house, and I knew any plans I had for escaping would be null and void once I stepped foot onto that jet. I thought I could take them all—I had done it before—but that damn bastard just had to pull me back. As I turned on the ground, I groaned from the pain in my face. Even without looking in a mirror, I could tell I had bruises and swelling. So much for not wanting to spoil my fac

Adriano. It all happened so slowly. One minute, she was speaking and telling me to fuck off, and the next, she was falling to the ground. I stared at her in shock but quickly rushed toward her, holding her tightly before Mariana or my brother could intervene. I knew they meant well, but I didn't want them to touch her. "What happened to her?" I ignored the question, as my entire focus was on her—the one woman I thought I’d never see again. I held her tightly and cursed myself when she let out a low cry from the pain. I was such a bastard. "Get the doctor," I instructed, though I was speaking to no one in particular. My brother pulled out his phone and dialed. I picked Daisy up and took the stairs two at a time, not stopping until I reached the room assigned to me. I gently placed her on the bed; she looked so small and pale. My heart raced in my chest—I was terrified. I didn’t want anything to happen to her, especially now that I had just found her. "Where is he?" I asked witho

Daisy. The low buzzing sound of an alarm woke me up. I slowly peeled my eyes open and watched as everything came into focus. The first thing I noticed was how soft the bed I was lying on was; the second was that I wasn’t in my apartment, and there was something warm pressing against my body. Gosh, my body felt so heavy and tired, like it had been run over by a truck. A scent I knew too well permeated the air. I frowned; maybe I was missing him too much to be thinking he was in here with me. Slowly, I brought my hand up and touched the mass of hair next to me. It was soft. Was I really dreaming about Adriano right now? I looked down to confirm, and it was just as I thought: Adriano was here. He looked so peaceful and less rugged as he slept. He didn’t look like the same Adriano I had met those few times. Wait a minute! If Adriano was here, then where the hell was I? I sat up so quickly that I noted the unfamiliar room around me and frowned when nothing looked familiar. Where
