LEILANI. 

I&#x27;m an orphan who was picked up by the roadside and left on the gate of a convent when I was a baby.

I was raised by Reverend sisters and I spent all twenty three years of my life in the convent.

I went to school there and did everything in the big convent, I&#x27;ve never been on my own until six months ago.

When I told the sisters that I want to go out on my own, Sister Bernadette was scared because I&#x27;ve never been on my own before.

Six months later, I&#x27;m doing fine. In a small quiet town, everything is great. The people are good.

All was going really well.....until the day he showed up. 

The scariest man I&#x27;ve ever seen. And the way he looks at me? It&#x27;s a look I don&#x27;t understand but it never fails to send shivers down my spine.

Who is he?

What does he want from me?

ZERO

HE IS DARKNESS.... 

I am the bad guy of this story. Every story has a villain, and I am that villain.

You can call me, Number Zero. Or Zero, for short. Frankly, I don&#x27;t care.

I am a born killer and I&#x27;m called The Killer Machine in the dark world, the part of the world do-gooders don&#x27;t see.

Think of every name you would call a professional killer, and give me that name, because you wouldn&#x27;t be wrong.

I would like to tell you that I try to do good, to do the right thing but that would be a lie. I don&#x27;t see any need why I have to lie here.

I am a very bad man, don&#x27;t go searching for good because it&#x27;s not there. 

I have so much darkness in me that if you stay in my mind for a long time, you go dark too.

Don&#x27;t mistake this for a confession because it is not. I&#x27;m not seeking for forgiveness and if you give it, I won&#x27;t accept it. I&#x27;m not seeking for redemption here. My sins are my own.

The first day I saw her, I just knew something.

My new fascination. My first fascination in all my thirty three years of life.

I must have her.
I must make her mine.

Sex With Mr Dangerous

I glared at the door, wondering what the hell is keeping Lani in the bathroom after more than an hour.

Morris chuckled at my restlessness, completely relaxed, he threw his leg on the center table.

"But what in God's shoes is keep her, dammit." I muttered noncommittally.

Morris eyes widened. "I am right, there's a bitch in here!"

"You'll be packing your teeth from the damn floor if you call her a bitch again." I gritted out.

"Woaah." Morris's jaw dropped, "Since when did they stop being bitches to you?"

He chuckled like it's impossible. "And, since when did you start bringing bitches here? You NEVER bring them here."

I glared at him fiercely in my frustration.

For the first time in his life, he took a fucking cue for what it is and clamped his mouth damn shut.

I turned and headed for the bathroom door, wondering why she's still in there after an hour.
