Selene’s eyes widened as she spotted me. With a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, she stepped forward with him. “Anastasia, what a pleasant surprise!” I gave a curt nod. “Selene. Blake.” Blake looked momentarily puzzled, his eyes narrowing as he saw me. He is probably confused as to how it is possible for me to be here and that too at this party. He definitely didn’t see this coming “Anastasia. Didn’t expect to see you here.” Selene leaned in, her tone sarcastic but edged with curiosity. “It’s been a while. Hmm…. Five years I think. How have you been?” I hated everything about her, I wish I could just drive my nails into her smug face. I tried to maintain my composure with a gentle smile. “I’ve been well, thank you. Busy with… various things.” Selene’s smile widened slightly. “Well, Blake and I have been well, getting married to him was a decision I’ll never regret,” She says smugly as if it were an achievement when it’s nothing more than a facade. "It's interesting how the past has a way of catching up with us, isn’t it?” She continued. Blake shifted uncomfortably, his gaze darting between Selene and me, still confused. “I suppose so,”. The past does have a way of resurfacing.” Selene’s eyes lingered on me, her curiosity piqued. “What brings you here tonight, Anastasia? Besides, of course, catching up.” Before l could respond, Damien appeared at my side, his presence commanding immediate attention. He placed a hand on my lower back, a touch both protective and assertive. “Forgive the interruption,” Damien said smoothly, his voice cutting through the conversation with effortless grace. “But I’m afraid I need to steal my date for a moment.” Blake’s eyebrows lifted in surprise. “Damien Santoro. I didn’t realize you two were… together.” Damien flashed a charming smile. “We are indeed. And now, if you’ll excuse us, Anastasia and I have some catching up to do on our own.” Selene’s eyes widened, and she glanced at Blake, her expression was a mix of confusion and discomfort. I steadied my gaze as I addressed Blake and Selene before leaving. “It seems the past is as unpredictable as ever.

"Fuck. You." I watched as his brown eyes darkened and he clenched his jaw. He stared at me for what felt like minutes. Before I knew it, he had me pressed against the wall. One hand was above me and the other gripped my jaw, sending shivers through my body, but in an addictive way. "Talk to me like that again, Anabelle, and I'll make you scream it," he whispered angrily. His words made my heart race and I felt a rush of arousal. I tried to push his hand away, even though I knew I couldn't. When I didn't respond, he let go and stepped back.

"You think you can just leave without a trace after what happened that night?" His hands pinned her arms above her head, his piercing blue eyes boring into hers. "W-what do you mean?" she stuttered, his scent reminding her of that night-the night that had changed her life completely. "What do I mean? Are you seriously asking me that, woman? If your brain can't recall how we burned together on that bed, how about I remind you right here?" His face was dangerously close as he growled into her ear. Her eyes widened. He meant it. Every single word. He was the king of the entertainment world, after all. "Let me go," she demanded stubbornly, her voice barely audible. He let out a low, dark chuckle that sent a chill down her spine. "Let you go? Oh, I'll let you go, Tatiana. But not until you understand the consequences of crossing paths with me." •••••••••• In the world of the entertainment industry, we see constant change and creativity.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
