The Eddie who still had a sparkle in his eyes, but a flicker of something else had begun to cloud them – ambition, perhaps, or a restlessness that hadn't been there before. We were in our tiny apartment, the familiar scent of old books and stale coffee clinging to the air. I sat curled up on the worn sofa, a half-written story sprawled out on my lap. The rhythmic tapping of my pen was the only sou

Mrs Stone laughed as if she had just said something funny and I did exactly what any woman in my shoes would do. I laughed with her. I laughed boisterously while glancing at the clock, counting the minutes until Adam arrived. It was a Thursday and he would come to her home to have dinner with her. Adam Stone's life was quite predictable. He was a man of patterns and control and anything else that was the epitome of rigidity and flawlessness. If it wasn't perfect, it definitely did not involve Adam Stone. Well, I had made sure it was flawless as well. To catch a thief, one had to be a thief, wasn't that how the saying went?

He happened to come across her, he then, was twenty four, lying on the field of Brooke's cemetery. There had been a fight. Almost an entire lineage of human life was wiped out. But Lauren, she was a Lucky girl. When she had opened her eyes, Roman knew he couldn't leave her alone. Her big brown eyes begged and drew him in, she was still as pretty as she was back then.

"I...Hunter, I mean, Mr. Grant and I are just friends. I care for his niece Livy, we don't...." "I see you're playing coy," she huffs. "Well, I'm on to you, Mrs Stone." Her voice is painfully blunt as she says my marital title. "Stay away from him," she repeats. "I know about women like you, hopping from one rich man to another like it's a game of checkers. You aren't the first woman to think Hunter Grant is your playtoy."

I didn't want to suspect Lara since she's my colleague and she's kind to me, but hearing her saying those words now… I guess, judging a book by its cover isn't really reliable. "Really, Lara?" "Yes! Solana Stone used to seduce men. She's like a leech. She would stick to someone useful to lift herself from the dirt." I clenched my jaws and kicked the door open.

You don't know me, so stop spreading rumors about me," I said with a blank face and clenching jaws.

"A week." "So, what're our strategies for his unexpected arrival." "A bullet is all I need to welcome him." Taking another sip of his expensive looking wine, Silvio leaned back on his chair as Dante gave a curt nod. "So, you plan to surprise him?" Dante said unfolding his arms, and sitting opposite to Silvio. Silvio raised his glass as he looked at half wine filled glass. "A stone for stone...a life for life."

I wouldn’t run on a job, no matter what turns it’s taking. Even if he cut the money, I’d probably stay. George Stone wass my drug. Since the second I met him, he’s been a deliciously and frustratingly addictive part of my life. The highs are sky high, out-of-this-world delirious, and the lows are rock bottom, smack-back-into-reality painful. There is no middle ground—there is only one or the other. He knows no middle ground. All or nothing. That’s the way he lives, and it’s how he loves.

He laughed mockingly, "Just admit it, Wayne…” "Admit what?!" Wayne snorted. "You and Ms. Devon have LQ, right? Lover’s Quarell! That’s why you're becoming a workaholic now." Wayne was stunned by what his friend said. "W-what?! What are you talking about?! LQ? The fuck! For someone who doesn't have a love life like you, you know so much!”
