MAD“Maybe you should answer that.”I followed Nites’ advice. “Yeah?”“Check your inbox. Tell me if this is the guy you want?” said the woman with an American accent and something else.“Who’s this?”“Confirm and call me back.” The call ended, and a JPEG file arrived in my inbox.I clicked it. My reaction must be written on my face, and shock stole all air from my lungs. My sister’s killer, the man who made my life hell, the accomplice to kidnapping Tara, the man who had been stalking me for months, and almost killed Tara just a few minutes ago.“What is it?”“A picture of Sawyer.” I gasped out when I could finally speak.I dialed the number, and she picked up right away. “Where is he?”“Tied to something he can’t escape,” the woman said almost confidently. Her voice laced with humor. Closing my eyes briefly, I drew a deep breath. The image she sent me was stuck in my head. Sawyer was still wet, looked pale, lying on his back. His hands were probably tied behind him. There was a sta

MAD“Terzo.” She rolled her eyes again. She was indeed the hitman. “Any more questions?”“I expect a guy to be in this line of work.” “Don’t tell me you’re sexist. That’s not the type of man a princess should marry. I do a lot of things more than do the dirty work, and T wouldn’t urge me if it’s not important for him, too.” She stepped onto the yacht. I understood what she meant. Saywer saw Terzo’s face and knew a lot about him, too. “This is his backup plan if he can’t get away by air. He rented it under an alias.”I followed her. “Why didn’t you tell me about this?”“I don’t share info with the person who hired me for the job. I do it with precision, clean, and no loose ends, and make sure it won’t tie to my employer.” She went down the lower deck. “Watch your step.”“Yet you turned down the first time I wanted to hire you.”“I checked you out. The reason why I turned it down is that you’re also a Vanderford. Terzo and his family had a history with Vanderford. Long story for anothe

MAD“I wasn’t fucking thinking.” I glared back. “Happy?”“There’s a lot of testosterone in here. It’s suffocating.”“Shut up.” Valentine groaned beside me. He was as tall as mine, sandwiched between Katie and me.As the car drove smoothly to the main street, the excitement sizzled through my veins. I grabbed my phone and was about to call Tara when Valentine snatched it from me. “What the fuck?”“Her phone is underwater. While you were trying to be John McClane, her X-ray and CT-scan results came out clean. Her blood report is fine, but we’re waiting for the result of other tests. She’s escorted to the hotel, so to speak.”“I forgot to thank you.” My voice was low. No matter what he did in the past, I felt like I owed him gratitude for saving his sister.“Save it. I did what I did because she’s my sister. We’re sending you to the palace. You shower and sleep.”I stole a glance at him. “I wanna talk to Tara.”“No more talking. You’re not allowed to see her. It’s bad luck.”I snorted.

TARAI looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a beautiful woman standing, wearing a gown that hugged her body like a second skin. It was a classic, elegant ivory re-embroidered lace drop waist corseted ballgown that featured a nine-foot train with a deep V-neck neckline and long sleeves. It was exactly a little girl’s dream that resembled a childhood fantasy.Her makeup was light and simple. The rose gold and warm brown eyeshadow created a sparkling rose-tone eye look, making her eyes stand out. Her nude lipstick complemented the peachy blush that warmed up her cheeks. The romantic waves with soft flowing curls added volume to her caramel brown long wavy hair. She accessorized with classic diamond stud earrings to pair with the family heirloom diamond tiara.I drew a deep breath as the elated sensation began to overwhelm me.“Oh, no. No crying.”“Mom.” I chuckled as I looked at my mother just entered the room. I turned to her and smiled. “You look stunning.” She looked so beautiful in

TARAI was talking about Cenric Wollf, Mykel Creed, Striker Cade-Braddson, of course, Gabe Linden, Lake Winston, with the new member, Spade Kolby-Kross, and the only absent member was Rome Langston, the husband of Princess Carlott of Capria.“I’m not gonna ask how you learn about that.” Mad laughed, side-glancing at me. “But yup, and the club has an additional member.”I smiled. “Good to know.”The next hours passed in a blur of introductions, various congratulations in different accents, and then dinner came.Tables draped with white cloth, complemented by flower arrangements for the eight-course menu from special salmon salad, two-course selected seafood, to lamb and spring vegetables like artichokes, asparagus, and potatoes, followed by a quartet of desserts of chocolate mousse, classic Italian tiramisu, tropical fruit ice cream, and Mariana’s upgraded pavlova bombs.After dinner, some important guests began leaving with my parents to probably talk about politics or the world econo
