LORETTAMy heart slammed violently against my ribs as the footsteps drew closer and closer and I had absolutely nowhere to go.The hallway was very long and empty and I was pressed so flat against the wall that I could feel the wallpaper digging into my skinWas this the appropriate time to start regretting my decision tonight?My heart jerked with every click of the polished shoe against the hardwood and the slow torturous seconds that passed. I heard the doorknob being grabbed from behind My lungs simply stopped working instantly Here it comes. This is the exact moment that would be printed in my obituary once I'm gone, ‘Loretta Rea Sterling, Died of Heart Attack at a Society Gala’ or maybe I could just pretend to faint and trick them....”Sit down” The command cut through the room loud and clear, making my spine stiffenIt was Elion's voice. He didn't sound aggressive or even sharp just finalThe footsteps stopped, the hand on the doorknob paused, the air around me froze“I'm jus

LORETTA My eyes snapped open and the first thing my body did was to break into a sputtering cough A harsh gasp worked loudly in my throat as I struggled to pull air into my burning lungs. My head felt heavy, and the faint stench of awful chemicals lingered behind I blinked several times, trying to clear my vision as the room came into focus but nothing around me looked familiar. I wasn't at the Gala or the penthouse either The first wave of panic hit my guts, I tried to lift my hands only to realize that my hands were bound too I was sitting — tied up to a chair in the middle of God knows where. Cold sweat and terror ran down my spine “Who is there?” I called into the empty room, which didn't appear to have been in use recently until now. The wallpaper was old and peeling, a thick layer of dust covered the floorboards, and the small desk at the far corner ams the air smelled damp and even dirty The only source of light in the room came from a single rusty-looking lamp My

ELIONI blamed Lorreta for the lie that sent me to prison. For weeks I've told myself that she is nothing but a contract I was getting too close toA variable. A means to an end. My long awaited revenge I liedThe cruelest, most wicked lie is the one I've been telling myself ever since she set foot in my penthouse. Because the moment they told me she was missing, something important was ripped right out of my chest. In that singular moment, I didn't care about the days I spent in prison, that was the pastI didn't care about the Vortex anymore, not even the revenge I spent years planning I didn't care about anything but the woman who had come into my life like a hurricane and wrecked me apart in ways no one will ever be able toFor the first time in my entire life, I felt fear. It gripped me with its ugly, cold scales till I couldn't breathe I understood fear, I saw it right in front of me like the Grim Reaper. The fear of losing something precious before I could even have itThe f

LORETTA One thing I came to learn about Elion was that he liked to have control.No. He loved it.He liked being the one with the upper hand, the one pulling the strings while everyone else danced to his tune, the one who made the rules and people followed. In the time I have spent with him, I learned that much.I also learned how to push back.Tonight however, I had no idea where I stood with him to fight this strong urge gripping me tight as he stands at the edge of my bathroom, telling me to take my bath while making absolutely no move to leave.The dangerous part wasn't that Elion was staying, it was that a part of me wanted him toEven though I was in a bathtub filled with water, I could feel a persistent throbbing between my thighs “Elion” I called and winced inwardly at the sound of my own voice. It didn't sound like me anymore, it was softer and quieterElion's breathing deepened the further. I tried, I really did try not to look at the bulge in his pants, but I couldn't sto

LORETTAI blinked up at the ceiling, everything was disoriented for a moment, my lashes fluttered and my relaxed sigh heaved out of meThe blanket felt different against my skin, warmer and thicker, I snuggled deeper into it. For the few blissful seconds after waking up, I simply lay there staring at the ceiling and remembered nothing. My mind was empty and I liked it that wayThe blissful moment lasted only a few seconds, as I continued to stare at the ceiling, everything came rushing back The Gala and the secret meetingThe kidnapping Elion.My stomach twisted, I pressed a hand over my eyes with a low groan God. Last night was a disaster, how did I go from overhearing a secret conversation that rilled me up, to touching myself while Elion stood a few feet away?I groaned again, my mind flashing back to the image of the wounded man, followed by the last thing he'd been about to say before the gunshot cut him off.*Eight years ago, The Vortex was just a mere idea between...*Betwee
