"Yes. Hi. You're Edward?" "That's me. Owner, manager, and occasionally the guy who fixes the broken coffee maker." He shook my hand. "Thanks for coming in. Want to take a walk around while we talk?" "Sure." He led me through the store, pointing out sections. "We're organized pretty traditionally. Fiction, non-fiction, young adult, children's. But we also have some specialty sections based on what sells well here." We turned a corner and I stopped. An entire wall dedicated to romance. And not just any romance—dark romance, enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance, arranged marriage, all the subgenres I devoured in private.

—a testament to their cunning, their resilience, and their unwavering loyalty. The Sparrow Lounge, a discreet but opulent establishment nestled in the heart of Townsville’s entertainment district, was the epicenter of this quiet revelry. It was a place where the city’s most influential figures gathered, a neutral ground where the lines between legitimate business and the Phoenix Mafia’s shadowy operations often blurred. Tonight, however, the mood was purely celebratory.

Luna begged her twin sister. Mara shook her head and opened her palm "I was injured while fighting him. They will follow us no matter what we do running. So run away Luna. At least one of us will survive. "This is not the time for that! We have to run while there is still time" Luna was wailing and begging but Mara was ready to sacrifice herself. They are being chased by an unusual person. And Mara was aware of it. No matter what they do running it will find and find them. Because the blood flowing through their bodies is phoenix blood.

I watched him go, feeling the hair on the back of my neck rise. My focus returned to the hallway. As I turned, my gaze caught a small, vintage display cabinet set into the wall. Inside, catching the dim light, was a delicate, antique pendant. It was silver, intricately carved, but the detail that stopped my breath was a tiny, recurring motif on the clasp: the dark silhouette of a bird with outstretched wings. My hands started to shake. A phoenix.

She suddenly felt confined in a tiny space with Dex and needed to get away from him. "We're here!" Dex announced as he pulled over at an elegant fashion house boutique where he usually shopped for his sister anytime she was in town. Without waiting for Dex to help her out of the car, Phoenix stepped out and walked into the fashion house. At first, the proud female manager didn't take notice of Phoenix and was busy chatting with some high net worth clients. But when the well-known and highly respected Dex stepped into the fashion room and walked over to Phoenix, who was busy checking out a dress with the help of one of the sales representatives, the proud manager ditched her current client an

Greg laughs as I fan myself dramatically with my hand. Despite the heat, Phoenix is beautiful. We spend a couple of hours wandering around the city, stopping for iced drinks before exploring local shops and little art markets scattered around downtown. I end up buying a small cactus keychain I absolutely do not need. “It’s cute,” I defend. “It’s a cactus.” “It has a tiny cowboy hat.” Greg looks at it carefully. “Okay, yeah, that’s fair.”

I frowned down at my drink and thought about all the reasons that it really wasn't. A few hours later, most of the place had cleared out. Sara was gone, and I didn't much expect to see her again. She just didn't seem like that kind of girl. I was sitting in Phoenix's office in the back of the clubhouse. Phoenix was a hard man. He was cold and calculating, and he had one of the most intense and serious looks you could ever imagine. But underneath that exterior, Phoenix was a good man and had always done right by me. He did his best to raise me and to protect me, and he'd even tried to keep me away from the Sandcastles at one point.

"You're right. Let's continue looking around; perhaps we'll come across something deserving enough to give to the Ashfords.” Sapphire and I kept looking for a gift in the department store, and after thirty minutes, we found two things: first, there was nothing in the store that seemed worthy enough to give as a gift to the Ashford family; second, even if there was something suitable, it would be awkward to purchase a gift from the department store owned by them. The whole mall was actually owned by the family, and Crimson Phoenix served as the CEO overseeing its operations. “I never thought the Ashford family was this wealthy,” Sapphire remarked in surprise when we left the department store

Phoenix walked further into the store, she lowered the mistletoe down. "You are shopping for the association" "Yes I am" "Is Cameron going to come around this time since she's out of the house" "No" Cameron was still working on her list, she had picked out the spa and Phoenix had booked an appointment with one the spa downtown. It was cheap but they would definitely do a good job on her skin. The hair salon belonged to her aunt so she was going to fix Cameron up. "Where is she then?" "Why do you care about her?"

Bloody vultures must have taken the photo when he was hovering too close to me at the ball, before I kicked him in the balls and alpha commanded him. I glare at no one in particular, as my thoughts get consumed with my overlapping anger I am sure I am going to erupt like a damn volcano any moment. “Well, true or not, I’m glad you’re here, mi corazon,” Phoenix wraps an arm around me, making me raise an eyebrow at his gestures but I don’t complain, letting him guide me into his shop. “Take a seat. I will go over and check for any damages first,” he tells me, making me scoff as I sit my ass on a stool.
