Semua Bab Saint by Day,Sinner by Night: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Myles's POV“Myles!” Aunt Greta gushed while pulling me into a suffocating hug. “I was starting to think you’d avoid me forever.”I really didn't like hugs. They make you look and feel vulnerable, I didn't want to look weak and definitely not in front of Serena but again aunt Greta was my favourite aunt and I'd always had a soft spot for her too so…I barely had the energy to fake a smile. Work had been a nightmare with endless meetings, putting out fires my workers incompetence kept starting and now I still had to deal with this.“Course not, Auntie,” I muttered while quickly peeling myself free. My gaze flicked to Serena standing stiffly by the kitchen counter. She hadn’t moved an inch since I walked in.Aunt Greta beamed between us. “I came by to finally get to know your lovely wife properly. You’ve been hiding her from us!”Serena’s fingers tensed around the cup she was holding and I ground my jaw. “Yeah. Busy schedules.”The silence stretched like a damn noose and Aunt Greta ei

Serena's POVGlass exploded, and shots suddenly went up as well as smoke, but I barely had the time to register all of that when Theo collided into me, sending me straight to the floor. The man was old, but there was no denying that he was agile, too. I could tell why Myles wanted him babysitting me.“Stay down!” Theo screamed, his voice carrying over the whole noise. “Wha… what is happening?” I asked. “We're under attack.” He replied, already pulling out a pistol from his waist. “Stay down. Don't move a muscle.”I wasn't planning on getting up anytime soon, though, so that was one command I was going to carry out to the last detail. From where I lay sprawled on the floor, I heard the unmistakable sound of gunfire and the shouts of the men as they did what they could to keep the attackers at bay. Theo tried to look up and out of the window, but a few bullets hitting the window pane dangerously forced him back down.My heart was pounding all through as I stayed there, hoping against

Myles's POV“Enjoy your new home.” The detective sneered as he dared to shove me into the police cell.“I'll soon be out of here, Detective. You're stupid not to know that.” I replied calmly.“We've got evidence of your dealings with Hector! You're involved with the drug lord until you decide to steal his precious cargo! Your ass is busted, Myles!” He spoke with so much conviction.“We'll see about that,” I muttered unblinkingly.He hesitated as if he was thinking of another snappy remark to make, but then he turned and walked off. I knew it was a matter of minutes before someone came for me. Whatever evidence Davies was convinced he had was all fake because I'd never worked with any drug dealer before, let alone Hector.Murphy had carefully set another trap, and we had foolishly taken the bait! I was mad at myself for foolishly falling for this crappy trap, and somehow, just somehow, I blamed Dean for this too. He was the one who had insisted on it in the first place. I had my men k

Myles' POV“Hi, Boss.” Dean called nervously. I ignored him and focused on Knox instead.“You should have remained with Serena,” I spoke flatly.“But instead of doing that, I took her to a fortress where nothing and no one would touch her, you're welcome.” He replied with a shrug.“I'm sorry about everything, Boss.” Dean chirped in quickly, desperate for me to acknowledge him. “I really didn't know…”“I need to get out of this place.” I moved forward, and Knox was already holding the door open. I didn't hesitate but quickly slid into the back seat while both of them took the front seats with Dean behind the wheel and Knox riding shotgun.For a while, we drove in silence with each one of us occupied with his thoughts. I knew this was just the beginning, they wouldn't stop coming after me or Serena until they got what they wanted. I had to be extra careful from now henceforth.This could have all been avoided if I had been sensible enough to see the holes in Dean's plan and called it

Myles's POVI took my time in the bathroom bathing, but also thinking about a whole lotta things. Things that were happening, things that could happen and also a whole bunch of things that were not even supposed to happen. Serena's warm embrace and her perfume kept playing back into my mind and that wasn't all. Every time her thoughts slid back into my head came the fact that I actually loved that feeling! I loved it when she hugged me, when she whispered in my ear and when she smiled at me.. Geeez.. what was wrong with me?!I stood silently with both hands on the wall and my head bowed while streams of hot water washed over me. I had been standing in that position for minutes without moving a muscle, and even though I stood perfectly still, my mind was still racing wildly with thought after thought slithering into my mind.I didn't come out of there until it was way past dinner time, and then I finally got out. One look around the room told me Serena wasn't in the room, so I hastily
