A MOTHER'S LOVE

Anesha's POVTo catch a lion, you must first walk into its home. See beyond all the fear and the shaking in your legs. Your raging heart beat, the understanding that in one wrong move you could end up in-between its jaws. And face the prowling beast, knowing that it too has a plan of its own. That's how I felt after Matilda said those words to me. Like I'd walked into a lion's den and I wasn't strong enough to catch it. “Why would you want to hurt him that way?” I can't keep the tremors in my voice away. “What did he do to you?” “His very life is an insult. One that I had to bear for the past 30 years. But I guess that isn't the whole truth.” She set the cup on the table carefully, glaring into its contents as her words set the hair on my skin on its ends. “That abomination was left standing while my son was swept away into the darkness. That is what I can not forgive.” I can't help the indignation that pushes through me. The fact that despite his efforts to protect his family, M

A HUNTER'S SNARE

Anesha's POV I want to believe my mother is wrong but I know enough about the Escarrás to know she might not be. There isn't a line they wouldn't cross to get what they want. And what she wants is revenge. But why me? Deimos loved Rachel. They all knew that. Our relationship would surely pale compared to what they had. So why would Matilda think that hurting me would be the best kind of revenge?And then there was Eric– the son that had simply just faded away. There was nothing on him when I searched online. No picture. No article. No mention of him when talking about the family. Matilda had been careful not to mention anything about him either. Only that he'd existed and Deimos had replaced him. The fact that there isn't a single article talking about the first son of Aaron Escarrá is chilling.Why was everyone quiet about his cover-up? There's no way they didn't know. My fingers swipe aggressively over the screen while I scan headline after headline. Eyes watering from staring

A DESCENT TO MADNESS

Deimos' POVShe's rattled. Shaking like a leaf on a windy day. Her skin is as cold as ice and she can't meet my eyes. It doesn't seem like it's anger making her this way. It's fear. I try to rub out the cold in her hands while she finds her words. A part of me berates myself for telling her. Eric is a part of my family that only a select few know about. A lore so dark we can't afford to whisper about him for fear that he might come back again. My father's fear of being swallowed up by his enemies would come to pass at the hands of his son.But that wasn't the truth. Eric wasn't a fool like they said he was. Out of the rest of them, he'd been the only one who welcomed me with open arms. Like a brother, he'd protected me for the months that we were together. Even when he disappeared, he'd tried to protect me. The whole part of that story is something only I and my father know. A secret I plan to take with me to the grave. That's why I can't have that caller digging up Eric. The me

A DARK EMBRACE

Anesha's POV I can't shake off the feeling that I'm being watched.It's probably just my nerves from currently being around Matilda. After my talk with Deimos, I couldn't sleep– tossing and turning from the thought that this woman might actually plan to kill me. Not might– Matilda wants to end me, to hurt Deimos. My mind churns as I think of all the ways my wedding day could end except with me dying. I could tell Deimos about Matilda and she could whip out the cheque. He'd be even more betrayed and she could still kill me. Deimos might not bat an eye. I could run away before the wedding. That would mean breaking the contract with Deimos and Matilda. They'd both want my head then and there's nowhere I'd run to that'd be safe from two Escarrás. I could ask Dimitri for help– A little voice breaks my inner turmoil. No! That's out of the question. I can't entangle myself with him more than I already have. The man was dangerous and right now, I am in the dark as regards his motives. B

LINES CROSSED

Deimos' POVI should have known she wouldn't melt under my touch. That her scorching resistance will imprint itself into me, just like everything else she does. That the taste of her would drag my senses like a war battered soldier, leaving the rest of me to follow. Pain rockets through my arm as her fingers dig in, clinging desperately. Her moans echo in the back of my head. Fanning my urges until it obliterates what little control I have left. I can feel every inch of her body pressed against mine. The damning softness of her skin. The curve of her chest separated from me by one flimsy cloth. Rip it awayI grab a fistful of cloth and skin. “Deimos...” Her voice comes as a breathless moan before her lips find mine again. She nibbles at it, reopening the wound there. I hiss at the pain, body stiffening as she licks the blood away softly. My heart stumbles at the gesture. I'm covered in blood and sweat, hardly appealing for a woman who's clearly clean and dressed for bed. And yet

TEACH ME HOW TO FIGHT

Anesha's POV I'm sick with something. It's the only reason why I'd be heating up from the inside out. It's not like it's because Deimos' eyes are resting on my lips that are now tingling again from the memory of his kiss last night. I look down at the spot where I nicked him and find it still red and healing. My chest blooms with pride. The thought that I'd marked him in a place everyone could see makes me more happy than it should. His hands never leave my waist, thumbing the material there until I'm sure his fingerprints would be all over it. I adjust the strap of the oversized, ugly gown and force myself to turn back to Diana. “Your sister wants me to wear your great, great, great grand mother's wedding dress on my wedding day.” His brows shoot up. “It's a tradition and Mother said so.” Of course Matilda did. “Did you wear it on yours.” I snap at her, ignoring Deimos' growing smile. Diana levels me with a cold stare. “I didn't marry an Escarrá. This tradition is only for w

SCARE FEST

Anesha's POV “Is that all?” My heart flies out of my chest. Guilt gnawing at my insides. I blink rapidly at Deimos who's still sitting at the edge of the bed tending to his wounds. My thoughts race over to Matilda and that damn cheque. Despite knowing her true plans, I'm still worried she'd tell Deimos about it before I can even get the chance to explain myself. “Yes.” I drag the words carefully. “I'd also like a gun.” He looks up at me now. Eyes digging into my face with suspicion. “A gun? Are you in some kind of trouble?” I press my lips together to seal the words from spilling out and try to act as naturally as possible. Deimos' eyes drift over to my hands now clenched tightly by my side and narrows on it. “When am I not?” The scoff is meant to be light and teasing but it must have come out wrong because he looks back at my face again with a dark stare. This time, I meet him head on. “Besides, better a gun than being left at the mercy of anyone. And wasn't it you who told me

DIMITRI

Anesha's POVHe tilts his head like he doesn't understand a word I just said. I'm standing toe to toe with him, glaring into his eyes. Someone pushes me into him as they walk by, throwing a “sorry” over their shoulder. He wraps a hand around my waist and pulls me even closer to him, sniffing at my neck. There is an emptiness in his eyes that sends my survival instincts haywire. I let him pull me further away from my friends until we're at a makeshift haunted playground. There's hardly anyone around here since it's far from the stalls and the main attractions. We go inside the bouncy castle and he pulls out a knife, playing with the edge of the blade. “What do you want?” “A thank you would be nice.” he snaps. I take a step back, glancing at the blade in his hand. He didn't bring me here to kill me, right? After the Diana incident, I never spoke to him again because I didn't want anything else from him. “I wasn't expecting you to be just like them.”A frown twists on my lips. “And y

THE PERFECT CHESS PIECE

Anesha's POV I knew I shouldn't have trusted him. It makes no sense that he'd be trying to help me but I was grasping at straws with my impending doom. Now, I've hit the nail in my own coffin. Flowers that remind her of her dead son? What was I thinking?We're only a handful of days to the wedding. I haven't had a good plan to stop Matilda yet. Deimos is drowning in work and Dimitri is the last person I want to talk to right now. But when my hand reaches for my phone, he's the first person I call up. “Hello Princess.” His voice is lazy, rich with smug amusement. The kind that makes my skin crawls. “Do you want to get me killed?” I hiss, gripping the phone tighter. “Those flowers have Matilda breathing down on my neck more than before. You said they were a gift.”“And they are. She took them, didn't she?” “That's besides the point.” “That's exactly the point.” His chuckle is sharp like broken glass. “She looked at you, didn't she? You're no longer invincible to her. I'm sure she'

PLAYER 1 MAKES A MOVE

Anesha's POV I'm sitting in our living room days later, reading the full article with a smile on my face. The interview with Jason Harper was a groundbreaking success. Millions of people all over the world are sharing, reposting and commenting. Everyone who wanted to know who Anesha Stanford is now believes I am a sweet, small town girl who– after leaving a bad relationship– fell for an older man who offered me comfort, stability and respect. A modern day Cinderella story with a twist. The parts about how I dated Max before finding Deimos? Brushed under the carpet, for now. My adoring audience doesn't need to know about that. But that's not the only thing I kept under wraps. Jason had probed about my parents and though I'd let it slip that my father had left us a long time ago, I had make sure to give close to zero information about my mother. The secret affected both of us. It wasn't something I could just open up on my own. Besides, she's already showing up as my mother at the
