"Shi*, shi*," I whined. I opened my eyes with a start, after perceiving the sun pointing directly at my face; when it dawned on me, I felt as if my head was about to explode. My surroundings were spinning like a circus roulette wheel and I had no idea where I was. I got up slowly, getting my eyes used to the light, and when they adjusted, my face looked like a horror movie. It was a huge apartment full of people sleeping in every possible place and some of them were half naked. To tell the truth, I was no better dressed than they were. My throat was dry and my friends, with whom I had gone, were nowhere to be seen. The four of them had planned to give me an unforgettable bachelorette party before I got married in a few days; their plan had been to travel to Las Vegas, a city of madness that had fascinated me since we arrived. However, they took the 'unforgettable' part very seriously, as I had no memory of the night before. Neither because I woke up in an apartment with strange

"Did you call him?" asked Lev, as we sat on the chairs in front of the pool in swimsuits, disguising our troubles."His secretary told me he'd be here before 6, but I'm dying of nerves, I don't know what to tell him," I tensed my jaw, watching all the people around us; tourists enjoying their day at the hotel like nothing else."You will tell him what we agreed; that you don't remember anything that happened last night and that you want a divorce. You have to tell him the truth, so he will agree to do the paperwork and help you find the other two," she said, hidden in a hat that covered her embarrassment.My stomach contracted as I saw him arrive in the distance, wearing a different suit from the morning, accompanied by the receptionist; he pointed to the place where I was and I became tiny under his icy gaze.It was time to talk to him.*****"So what happened next?""I ran away. I wasn't able to look him in the eye, or get close, I panicked!""Amalia, for God's sake, it was your cha

"I need to go to the bathroom," I interrupted the mood I was getting into, as we walked through the doors of the building I thought I was safe in for a moment."Just now?" sidelong glanced at me Maddox, seemingly annoyed."Yes, just now," I looked at him sternly.Was I losing my mind?How could I face him in my vulnerable situation?He could kill me right outside the door of the building where there were hundreds of police officers and no one would do anything for me."I hope you don't try to escape. Dax," he said and looked at his brother knowingly, "Don't even think about touching her without her consent."The man mentioned, nodded, leaving a smile in the air that made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.How could he look so dangerous and attractive at the same time?"Can my friend Lev come with me?" I asked the one with different eyes, as soon as we bumped into her on the road, "I have to explain to her what's going on."My friend looked at him as if she was facing the mon

"Funny that a man of your standing would want to see me in a hurry," Maddox objected, walking across the room to the bar to pour two shots of an alcoholic beverage that had more value than any other in the entire casino and was a significant vibrant yellow color; D'Amalfi Limoncello Supreme. He in a glass tumbler poured him just enough to taste the delight and richness in one gulp. "It's not for taste, although I would like to add that you are the only one who has his best collection of wines and distillates in this country. A D'Amalfi? Only greedy people like you get such a fine and limited alcoholic source," Declan pointed out, walking in the direction of the couch, where he would gladly and happily sip the delight that was made in its country of origin, with a sweet taste and citrus notes. With an American mother and an Italian father, Beaumont grew up in the mafia thanks to the influences of his father, who ran the market from Los Angeles. However, his older brother rose from th

I felt as if a huge time bomb was growing ever larger around me, threatening to wipe out every part of my life, including my soul.The darkness around me was not helping me, on the contrary, a bubble of nerves enveloped me as if it had trapped me in my place.None of that would be happening if I had controlled myself; none of that would be happening if I hadn't wanted to travel to Vegas; my fiancé wouldn't be traveling to the world's worst nightmare if I had told him the truth from the beginning; my friends wouldn't be missing if I had had a clear mind; none of what Lev and I went through in two days would have happened if I had woven the consequences clearly.What did they want from me?They didn't even love me and resisting them only caused more problems. My worried fiancé was about to find out for himself the mistake he had made and his life would probably be in danger too."I think I'll go find out what happened, the phone lines are no good," Lev said, after trying to get through
