Covenant Friday

Hugo knelt in front of me again, his fingers tracing a path along my jaw. “You’re a beautiful little thing,” he said, his tone mockingly soft. “Maybe I’ll keep you as a pet and prisoner after I dump Dario’s body in the street.”

I glared at him, my voice steady and defiant. “I’m already Dario’s prisoner, Hugo. And I only serve one master, and that’s Dario. I’d rather die than serve an old man with a rusty pipe between his legs.”

The words barely left my mouth before his hand struck my face, the force of the blow knocking me onto my side. Pain exploded in my cheek, blood dripping from my nose and lips.

Hugo loomed over me, his face twisted with rage. “Careful, girl,” he hissed. “That rusty pipe will fuck you right in front of your lover before I kill him. That’ll be the last thing he sees before he rots in hell.”

I stared up at him, hatred burning in my eyes. I would rather die than let this man in between my legs. Dario would come. He had to.

90 days with my billionaire ex

The clock on the wall of the hotel lobby read 8:00 PM. The party was set to start in thirty minutes, and I was standing here, waiting. My arms were crossed, my expression unreadable, but my mind was far from calm. 


I had spent the last few hours thinking about Sonia. Specifically, about how close I had come to making one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Almost having sex with her. Katy’s sister. 


Not that I couldn’t do it. Hell, Sonia practically threw herself at me. But I knew her type—she wasn’t one to keep her mouth shut. The last thing I needed was her running her mouth to Katy, bragging about how she’d had me. That would be the end of Katy and me. And I couldn’t let that happen. 


I knew Katy. She wasn’t the type to share her man. And if I lost her because of a stupid, reckless moment with Sonia, I’d only have myself to blame. I was still fighting to make Katy mine for real. Not just in body but in heart and soul. I wouldn’t risk that.
