JANICE

FIVE YEARS AGO

The bass thumped through the crowded frat house like a second heartbeat. Lights flashed in rhythm with the music, casting colorful shadows across sweaty bodies dancing in the living room. I clutched my red solo cup tighter, laughing as Mila dragged me through the crowd, her hand firm in mine.

“Come on, JJ! You promised you’d actually try to have fun tonight!” Mila shouted over the noise, her dark hair swinging as she moved. She looked very radiant in a tight black dress, o

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Got you now

    JANICEAlexander Kane’s party for me happened to be a masked party. A masked party that was in full swing by the time I was allowed to make my entrance.I stood at the top of the grand staircase, looking down at the glittering ballroom of the mansion. There were crystal chandeliers casting golden light across hundreds of masked guests in their designer gowns and tailored tuxedos. Laughter, clinking glasses, and soft classical music filled the air.It was beautiful.Opulent.And the entire thing was completely suffocating.Nancy was locked safely in her room for the night. Alexander didn’t have any morality issue with bringing my younger sister to this party, so I had to put my foot down—she was too young to mingle with this crowd. These people, from what I had gathered from my lessons and movies, were sharks, and my little sister was never going to swim with them.Taking the girl abroad after all this nonsense.My eyes scanned the sea of masks desperately. Where are you? Where are yo

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   I missed them

    JANICEDid the women in the mafia world tend to hate their fathers as the years passed or was that only me? From what I observed in all the mafia movies I found myself watching, they seemed to love them.Calling them papa and batting their lashes whenever they needed something.Ridiculous.My skin crawled just from thinking of the one who shared DNA with me every passing day.The whole thing had started fast, and soon became a steady flame inside my chest—burning hotter every morning when I woke up in this stupid prison. But I smiled through it. I nodded. I learned everything Mr Kane wanted me to learn. Because there was only a single thought playing on repeat at the back of my mind.I will burn his so-called empire to the ground. I will make him beg for my forgiveness on his knees.Until then, all I had to do was survive the training.For the past month, my days had started with etiquette and strategy training with Madame Corinne, a seventy years old woman with the attitude of one of

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Hypocrite

    AIDENOne thing about a shared space was the fact that it became very quiet when just one member was away.Without Janice keeping us company in the penthouse, it felt like a fucking graveyard.With all the work we had done within hours to get rid of everything Cassandra did, and start the process of dispersing her wealth. It was safe to say that she was actually dead this time.And spending time with Janice would have been a good reward.Calder grabbed another bottle of beer from the counter, tilted his head back, and downed the entire glass in one long gulp. He slammed the glass down enough that it was a miracle the thing didn't shatter."I don't like this," he muttered, already reaching for another. "I don't fucking like this at all.""You need to slow down."I watched the tool from across the living room, arms crossed. The city lights glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, but none of us were in the mood to admire the view."And you should still be in the fuckin

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Time to stop being scared

    JANICE"Hello, Janice," the older man standing in front of me had said, eyes twinkling as he took me in. "You've grown up to be such a beautiful, young woman.""Hello. Do I know you?"He chuckled. "Not really, no. But I want you to." He took another step closer, until he was standing right in my face and I could see those dark eyes of his. Dark eyes that looked exactly like the ones I saw in the mirror for the last twenty four years. "I'm your father."Those words hung in the air like smoke, thick and suffocating. I tried not to dwell on them. I couldn't afford to dwell on them.All I could focus on was the next step—seeing my sister. Everyone told me she was well and alright, but I had to see her. To touch and hold and kiss her forehead and tell her everything was going to be okay.Aiden and Calder were not in support of letting me go with the man. Both of them had given suggestions of using their houses or even the penthouse, but a simple call from who I assumed was Lucian, had th

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Not the worst price to pay

    LUCIANThe men ambushed us just minutes after we arrived at the coordinates Calder had sent.We had moved in silently, splitting into teams to cover the hidden approach points around the estate. Once Calder’s words about who owned this place settled in me, it became easier for me to understand why she would choose a place like this.Once you were expecting it, there was no way anyone would be able to ambush you here.Except you were an idiot. And the woman we were coming for was not an idiot in any means or manner.“Hands up! Drop your weapons!”“Fucking hell!” Aiden cussed beside me. “They couldn’t give us a five minute head start, seriously?”If they didn’t have guns pressed against our backs, I would have laughed at that. Because Aiden had hated this plan and told me it would backfire badly.“I said, hands up!”I raised my hands slowly, signaling the others to do the same. Our guns clattered to the forest floor, at the same time metal cuffs snapped around my wrists, biting into my

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Sign, Calder Vaughn

    CALDER“I have a plan,” Cassandra had said to me one morning, a few months before I married Valentina. It wasn’t the first time she did something like that during the off period of my relationship.I nodded. “Where are we going?”Cassandra took me to this estate—a sprawling property hidden behind thick woods and high walls, far from the prying eyes of whatever neighbors she might have.“Bought it in my brother’s name and all.”When I asked her why she was sinking so much of her money into a place tied to her but not technically hers, she smiled that same crooked smile and said, “I just wanted something off the grid, honey. Something that belongs to me without the world ever knowing.”It had made sense at the time.A woman like Cassandra was always paranoid, always three steps ahead. We had walked the grounds together, and when we reached the archery range, her eyes had lit up with that dangerous sparkle that always came once in a while. She picked up a bow and arrow, testing the strin

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   An apology

    JANICEAiden’s mouth was still on mine.He was kissing me… kissing me… fucking kissing me. And because I was a woman with needs, I kissed the asshole back, lost in the familiar heat, the anger, the need to feel something other than the crushing weight of everything else and Valentina’s words which
