prologuedonteMy pops had been telling me to settle down for years. He told me to find a woman who would stand by me no matter how tough things got, and would have my back through thick and thin.And the truth was, I was tired of empty sex. I was tired of one-night stands, and I was tired of screwing women just to toss them away and never speak to them again.I’d built myself an empire from nothing. I’d put in blood, sweat, and tears to get where I was today, the owner of several huge businesses, including my multi-million dollar software company, Indigo Limited.And now…I just wanted a woman to share that with.So when Sapphire Myers walked into my office telling me that she was the new Python developer, I couldn’t help but fall head over heels for her beauty. She was so fucking sexy and she didn’t even realize it, but I could see the pain in her eyes. She looked tired, exhausted, broken…She looked like a mystery.A mystery that I wanted to solve.But I was battling with my own de

I held out the photographs in front of my face, reading the information that was written on them. I could feel my heart leap to my throat, and my blood run cold as the innocent lives that had been murdered stared back at me from their pictures.The first picture was of a black man with brown eyes and black, afro-textured hair, wearing a white vest. The picture was taken at the crime scene. There was a bullet mark in his chest, and his vest was soaked with blood. The blood had pooled around his body.I looked down at the case notes to learn more about who this man was.ALFONZE MICHAEL.19 years old.Shot outside of Hunter’s Lane.Known to have a crack addiction.Deceased.The second picture was of a white woman with platinum blonde hair, porcelain colored skin and bright blue eyes. She was wearing a salmon pink maxi length dress, and she had also been killed. Her picture was also taken at the crime scene, and yet again, there was no evidence left behind…LILY GRAHAM.30 years old.Shot

“A man with potential involvement with the Russian Mafia is a man named Donte Abruzzi. He’s young and very wealthy, and he’s the head of Indigo Limited, so he’s bound to know about all of the shady operations that go on in Manhattan. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of evidence hidden away in that massive building,” Phillip muttered. “Remember your fucking training. Take whatever means necessary to get the information we need, even if it means you have to seduce him. Bastards like him think with their dick. They have no fucking respect for women.”I swallowed down a lump that had formed in my throat, suddenly feeling my insides twist into knots. I felt nervous at the thought of the possibility of so much being able to go wrong in this mission. I was putting my life on the line for the sake of the greater good.But it was a risk worth taking.“Take care of yourself, Boss,” I said.And with these words, I turned on my heel, and walked out of the room. I felt motivated to bring all of these

A moment of regret washed over me as my mama’s sad face bored into my eyes. I had an obligation as a daughter to look after her and provide her with what she needed.It broke my heart watching my mama grow older, watching her lose her memory more and more, day by day.And the fact there was nothing I could do to stop it just screwed with my mind to the point of no fucking return.But then I remembered how many lives had been lost to the Russian Mafia.I couldn’t be selfish.I needed to bring them to justice.“They’ll take great care of you, Mama, I promise,” I said, squeezing her hands in mine. “Let’s go.”I got to my feet, and began wheeling my mother out of my apartment, ready to make my way to the care home where I was going to drop her off. I knew my boss would make sure she was well-provided for while I was gone. It was the least he could fucking do, and he’d been good to me while I’d been working this job, so I never, ever doubted him and his generosity for one second.I was goi

And keeping up with Brett was the least of my fucking worries. Maybe now was the perfect chance to put an end to whatever we had, because I finally had an excuse to do so.It was bound to happen sooner or later, anyway. Our relationship had been rocky for a long time. I was just speeding up the inevitable.I felt terrible because I knew how much Brett cared about me and loved me, but I couldn’t keep stringing him along, and convincing myself that I felt the same way about him, when I knew that I didn’t. I already felt empty enough without my relationship with Brett adding to it.I couldn’t force myself to be in a miserable relationship with him forever, despite the history that I had with him, because I’d already been through a relationship just as toxic as that before, and I didn’t want to put myself through that again.***I arrived at Brett’s apartment block, and headed up the stairs to make my way to his room number. When I arrived at his room, the door was already open. I rubbed

Brett exhaled a sigh, and then took his head into his hands. “Maya, you know what Hazel is like,” he said, exhausted, his voice strung with venom and bitterness. “She’s a desperate bitch! She turned up to my apartment unannounced and threw herself at me! I didn’t do anything back!”“I don’t know what to believe anymore,” I replied miserably, feeling dejected. I always saw the good in people, and deep down, my heart was telling me that Brett wasn’t capable of cheating on me…because I knew how much he loved me after how much he always told me over and over.But actions speak louder than words. I replayed what I just saw in the room in my head, and I realized that I hadn’t really seen Brett doing anything back with her, so maybe his side of the story did add up, after all. Either way, I didn’t fucking care. What was it to me if he’d been cheating or not? I came here to put an end to whatever me and Brett had, and I couldn’t let my emotions get the better of me. I’d been waiting to do thi

I opened my mouth to argue back, but then I closed it again, not knowing what the fucking point was in wasting my breath. I didn’t want to end on bad terms with Brett, and no matter how much we both screamed and cried at each other, it wouldn’t change the fact that I was going to break up with him.“Maybe it’s for the best,” I mumbled finally.“W-what?” Brett’s face fell. It looked like he was about to cry.“I care about you, Brett, I always have…” I whispered. “But how can we build our relationship on lack of trust? We’re always arguing…” My voice trailed off, as I let out a sharp intake of breath. “We’re always at each other’s throats.” I paused. “And to be honest, Brett, I feel like we’re wrecking ourselves with this relationship.”“No baby, please…” Brett pleaded, putting his hand on my arm, his eyes welling with tears.“It’s so toxic, Brett, and it’s crazy how you don’t realize that,” I mumbled, shrugging him off me. “We don’t love each other…we’re just two people who work togeth

Then I dusted myself off, slipped into a towel, and dried my hair. I made my way to my closet to pick out something to wear. I settled on a short black skirt with a long-sleeved white blouse, and black tights. I put on some red lipstick and straightened my jet black hair, and left one button undone so that a little more skin was on display, since Boss had said that men like Donte thought with their dick. Looking sexy would play to my advantage.I didn’t really enjoy wearing ultra-revealing outfits because I had a huge scar on my leg, a mark from my past I was really insecure about, which was why I always wore tights to cover it if I was wearing a skirt. Otherwise, I’d just wear trousers.I stared at myself in the mirror, deliberating over how I looked. I smoothed my hands over my ass, trying out several different poses in the mirror to see how I looked from every angle. I was a really indecisive woman, and it took me forever to be satisfied with how I looked before I left home.“I loo
