ALESSANDROI am yet to find the mole among my men who is helping Elio. How could he come and sit in the car with Luna, and none of my men are there to prevent it?But I found a spy lurking around at the Raven. The thing about men is that eventually, they think with their dicks. Give them enough alcohol, enough privacy and a woman willing to listen, and sooner or later, they start talking.The girls at Raven are under my protection. They work for me. Men in bed talk. A lot.And that’s how we found little old David. A soldier from Matrix who has met Elio thrice. And he was lingering around whenever Sebastian was around. He is being spied on.Sebastian Merrick—the man Luna had insisted wasn't Elio's son—wanted only two things from the Outfit: the truth about his mother's suicide and a permanent goodbye.That’s probably the reason why we haven’t tried to kill each other yet. He doesn’t threaten my position in the Outfit. I am next in line. I will do what it takes to become the don.Anothe

LUNARamen tasted better at 2 AM. I said what I said! Everyone went to sleep. I can’t open the front door. Even if I did, the house is practically located on a hill, overlooking the city of Ashmoor. Down the hill, there is a small jungle, or it looked like it. If I tried to escape, I would end up eaten by a bear. Even though it was better than being caught by a man, I really, really wanted to live no matter how fucked up my life was.So, no man in this house is a little bit afraid that I would escape. They are clearly underestimating a girl. One day, I would escape just so I could prove to them I can, and I am here on my own terms and not because of them.As I was contemplating whether to boil an egg or not, the front door opened and in walked the devil. Since this morning, I have not talked to him. But he was hard to ignore.His black shirt was tucked into his trousers, the top two buttons undone. His sleeves were rolled to his forearms, revealing the veins running beneath his skin.

LUNAI gave Alessandro my best smile. “Baby…Coffee.”He didn’t even raise his head before he looked like his day had been ruined. I was beginning.“What now?” He questioned, his eyes still on his screen.“I brought you coffee.”He grunted in response. Actually, literally grunted. I thought that word belonged to the fictional heroes.“Did I tell you how handsome you look today?”“No.”I frowned. “I just gave you a compliment.”“Still no.”“I didn’t ask anything.”He finally raised his head, his amber eyes zeroed in on the cup in my hands. “Whatever you are going to ask, it’s a no.”“I am not going to ask you anything.”I raised my hand. “I brought you coffee.”He looked suspicious. “Did you poison it?”“You think if your kitchen had poison, I would use it in a coffee?” I smiled widely. “I will mix it in your scotch.”For a second, the corner of his mouth lifted. It was barely there before it turned upside down into his permanent frown.“Why are you giving me coffee? Where is Theressa?”

LUNAThe door burst open without a knock, or maybe it was knocked; I don’t know. I didn’t hear.We didn’t hear.I heard a loud gasp. Marco’s. Definitely Marco’s.But the man above didn’t bother to stop kissing me and didn’t even bother to move an inch away from me.I had to slap his shoulder just to get the mountain to loosen his grip.“Someone’s here.” I whisper-yelled.Sandro groaned before he finally lifted his head. I started to gasp for air, out of anxiety and panic.Godammit!His lips were swollen, red, and glistening—clear proof that he had been kissed. I am sure mine look worse.Every cell of me stilled when he traced my bottom lip, eliciting another gasp that had nothing to do with anxiety or my panic.The next second, he was up and gone.Shit!Time for the walk of shame. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!If time passed at the speed of a snail in Vin’s wing, in Sandro’s, it sprinted like a horse in a race.I sighed. For how long did we kiss?“Since when did you start kissing women?” I heard

LUNAI stomped back to where I came from—his bedroom—climbed onto the enormous bed, and draped a blanket over me.It’s warm. It smelled like him, which I hate, by the way.And I closed my eyes. Soon, sleep took over my body. Sleep is probably the best thing that ever happened to a human being. Your brain simply switches off, and you feel nothing. Just void. You feel nothing. Maybe you do. But you hardly remember it by the time you wake up.It’s a good thing that you don’t feel.Except I feel everything.Suddenly, I was transported back to my old room. All I did was steal a loaf of bread. I was hungry. I swore I would never do that again. Father didn’t believe me. He locked me again. No one tried to open it for an entire day.By the time someone unlocked it, I was ready to pass out. Remi stood outside the door with an apologetic expression on his face.I was angry with my mom. Why didn’t she come for me? Why didn’t she bring me into this life if she can’t fight for me? Turns out, she w
