DARIANThe phone started ringing in the middle of the meeting; despite me hitting decline, it kept ringing over and over.“I have to take this,” I said, standing up and walking toward the window.“Yes, Eldon?”“Mr. Darian, Ms. Belinda has left. She asked for the bus stop on her way out. I suggested she take a taxi, but she refused.”My brows furrowed instantly, and I bit my tongue to keep from shouting.“What the fuck do you mean she asked for the bus stop? The driver was supposed to take her!”“Her mother fell ill, sir. When she couldn’t reach you, she got permission from Mr. Luke.”“And you’re just telling me this now?”“I called, but I couldn’t reach you either.”My phone was on; I hadn’t turned it off once. I couldn’t wrap my head around how they couldn't reach me. “Fine, hang up. I’ll handle it.”I called Belinda. Her phone was off. Apparently, being unreachable was the new fashion today.Next, I called Luke. “Get over here and take over the meeting for me.”“I’m trying to finish

Accounts are empty

DARİAN “The interest on the debt has increased, just so you know!” I’m sure it has. If I walked in here with this much self-confidence, of course it would...“I’ll pay whatever it is. That’s why you have to put your plans for tonight on hold. Otherwise, I won't be held responsible for what happens next.”“He’s even making threats,” he said with a laugh. “Who do you think you are?”I scratched the side of my right eye. “If you want to find out who I am, go right ahead with your plans. Then you'll learn. Now, the choice is yours. Is Belinda coming with me, or do I move on to the next stage?”He signaled to the man beside him. “The debt has reached six million dollars, by the way. Can you pay it?” he asked, his voice dripping with mockery.“Bring Belinda to me. We’ll settle it.”“She’s coming,” he said, leaning back. He knew he couldn't get that much money even if he sold Belinda. Even thinking the word 'sell' made my blood boil. What kind of people had this woman gotten mixed up with?

Threatening

BELINDADid he just threaten armed loan sharks?We were going to die!They were going to scrape our remains off the floor.But god, he looked so charismatic! Right now, my fear of death and my rising libido for Darian were in a dead heat, battling it out!They wouldn't let us out of here! They wouldn't leave the money, and they certainly wouldn't leave us alive. When he kept telling me to shut up, I thought he was handling the payment. It turns out he was busy robbing the robbers.Darian was someone to be feared. He was threatening a loan shark in his own lair.If it was this easy for him to handle things with threats, I wondered why he had been making my life a living hell for days.A scream rose inside me when Clay drew his gun and pressed it against Darian’s head. There was already a gun pointed at my head, but seeing one against his made me question why I was even born. Was it just to witness death at every turn?If you asked me if I reme

Dizzying Admiration

BELİNDAAll my limbs were frozen. Clay let out a laugh. “I was going to have a taste anyway, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon,” he said, just as the door was kicked open and the room was suddenly flooded with police.Shouts of “Drop it! Drop it!” filled the air. In that split second, before I could even grasp what was happening, Darian lunged from his seat, grabbed Clay by the collar, and buried his forehead into the man's face with a brutal headbutt.As Clay tumbled to the floor like a sack of potatoes, Darian grabbed him by the collar again, pulled his head up, and drove a right hook straight into his nose.That definitely hurt!I wasn’t overweight, but whatever fat I had in my body had practically melted away from the stress.Darian pressed the sole of his boot onto the fingers of Clay's right hand.“I told you, didn’t I, Clay? If you touch her, I’ll break you.” As he began to crush the fingers one by one, a police officer walked toward Dari

Poor Soul

BELINDASilence wasn't exactly the kind of thing I was used to. No matter how much you start managing your fears as you grow up, believe me, sometimes it’s just not that easy.If there was one thing I hated as much as flames, it was silence. That’s why I wasn’t someone who shut up easily. That’s actually how I started singing.Who would’ve guessed my profession would emerge from my fears! Personally, I wouldn't have.Because of that, my silence didn’t last long. Well, on one hand, the unnecessary attraction I felt toward the man sitting next to me, and on the other, my curiosity simply weighed too heavy.I mean, how many kilos did I even weigh? It was quite normal for my curiosity to outweigh me, in my opinion.“How did you find me?” Since I couldn’t ask where the money came from, I could at least ask about the other things I was curious about.After getting a phone and re-inserting my SIM card, we had gotten into the car to head to a restaurant.“It took a little while, but I found y

Never, No Way!

DARIAN"I've got two hours. Get ready, we’re sorting out the clothes today."She was sprawled on the sofa, one leg over the other, looking way too comfortable. My eyes slid from her reddish-black hair down her body. She was wearing a tank top with wide straps and shorts.Even though she was tiny, she definitely wasn't skin and bones. She had curves exactly where a woman should."I can pick my own clothes. You don't need to spend every damn second with me."Of course she could. But after yesterday, I wasn’t about to let something like that happen again. Until I was sure those bastards were locked up and no one was left on the outside, my eyes were going to stay glued to her.There was this unspoken, heated defiance between us that kept me on edge."I know you can. But until yesterday’s situation is cleared, I don't want you alone.""Wow," she said, getting up. "It brings a tear to my eye that you're so worried about me." She made a small, mocking gesture, pretending to wipe a tear.I d

Mesmerizing effect

DARIAN "Are you ready?" I’d changed and headed downstairs. Belinda had gone to the venue early for rehearsal. Since the whole family wanted to be there for her first night, we were all going together. The moment I stepped in, my cousin Amanda threw herself into my arms, calling out, "My protector!" "Where the hell did you guys come from?" I asked, hugging her back. "We figured we’d come see this Belinda for ourselves!" At the sound of Julian’s voice, my eyes found my brother-in-law sitting on the sofa. Of course, he wasn't going to miss this chance. "Don't you have work to do, man? You should've just sent Amanda. Why'd you bother coming?" "Wherever Amanda goes, I go!" he said with a smirk. "Yeah, don't you dare let her out of your sight. Like someone’s gonna snatch her up!" "Don't start," Amanda laughed. "We're ready. Let's move." "Let me look at you," I said, tak

Teasing

DARIAN As the first song ended, a storm of applause broke out. Praises were pouring from every mouth. As for me, I hadn’t been able to take my eyes off her since the moment she stepped onto that stage. I took a sip of my whiskey, my gaze finding Michael near the side of the stage, by the office entrance. He was sitting with his legs crossed, arms folded over his chest, watching Belinda with a look of pure satisfaction at the crowd's reaction. Actually, he wasn't just watching her—he was practically devouring her with his eyes. The whiskey glass in my hand almost shattered. "Good evening, welcome everyone. This is my first night performing here at Night. Thank you for your kind words." Since I’d grown familiar with her voice by now, the tone that had grated on my nerves in the early days was far from bothering me now. "I’m sure the song Night Changes has been sung on this stage many times," she said with a laugh.

İnstincts

BELINDA I’d never been the type to pull off being a "proper young lady." With a look like mine, that was never going to happen anyway. Thanks to the environments I’d worked in, I’d learned how to keep my guard up and play word games pretty damn well. Seeing Darian unable to take his eyes off me during the entire performance was a massive boost to my ego—the same ego he’d previously trampled on. I wasn’t a "giver," but I knew how to read the signals. "Look at you, little half-pint," he said, a half-smirk settling on his lips. "Sweetheart, it’s my body that wants you, and my eyes that like what they see. My words, however, are my actual thoughts. Instincts are animalistic." So, he was admitting he was an animal. Well, if you ask me, even that was a huge step forward for him. While he kept insulting me, his refusal to deny that his body wanted me sent heatwaves to places they shouldn't have gone. Looks lik

Furry

BELINDAIf his nose fell off, I swear he wouldn’t deign to lean down and pick it up. Did I care? Of course not. It was his call. Just because he was all fired up and his prick was twitching for me didn't mean I was going to jump into bed with him.Not that it was a bad idea, I’ll admit! But as long as he put his horniness above everything else, I wasn't going to give him what he wanted."No matter how much meaning I try to attach to you, the result is always the same," I whispered."And what’s that? Would you be kind enough to inform me?"I smirked. "Absolutely. You're just a total prick!"With his dark hair, tanned skin, sharp jawline, and a body built for lust, he was pushing me to my absolute limit. But thanks to my stance against "pretty boys," I was able to control myself like a goddamn saint.Refusing to get any closer to him, I turned my gaze toward the couple I’d met tonight."Thank you so much for coming all this way.""It was worth
