Elena povPushing the door wide open I'm prepared for the worse when I find several bags of food right inside the door and Claire is standing in the kitchen.Getting inside I close the door and look at the bags."Hi Elena!" she says from the kitchen. Raising my eyes to look at her."Hi! What's this?" I ask and point to the bags. There is no way she could ever have brought these by herself and carried them back to her apartment.She walks over to the hallway with a smile on her lips."the man who drove me home brought these up. He said the kitchen at the restaurant was going to be renovated and all this food had to be thrown out if no one could take it! Look at all this perfect food. How could anyone ever throw it out" she says and grabs a bag before she turns away and heads over to the kitchen.I find it strange why no one else of the ones working there didn't want any food to take home with them. Walking over I take a bag in each of my hands and walk over to the kitchen with them.Pl

Elena povIt's really early in the morning and I'm on my way to the coffee shop. I love these mornings when I have the streets to myself, don’t meet anyone on the way, and can walk in my own thoughts. I have been working at the shop for six days already and love it so far!No one is up this early and not once have I run into anyone of the Maffia men, I guess they don't know I work there yet.The air is crisp today and I enjoy my walk alone. Claire often comes by the coffee shop right before she's going to start at the market. I haven't been there these days since he came down in the basement. I got anxious when I tried to go down there and we decided I could be at the coffee shop as long she needed help.I'm grateful for it!I learned the owner had to be at the hospital every day for treatment in the morning and I help her clean and bake in the morning before it's opening. Then I have been helping her with customers and prepared for the next morning.She's just as nice as Claire and I

Elena povA part of me wants to feel his plumpy lips on mine and the other part needs to get a grip on this situation. I have been warned several times to not get in the Mafia boss's way and here I am. Couldn't be more on the wrong side than I am."stop!" I manage to say in a low whisper right before there is a knock on his door.His eyes hold mine captivated for a long moment before he lets go of me and takes a step back, I see him turn around and head for the door. I instantly miss his touch and want him back!I have to support myself against the wall when a middle age woman comes walking inside with some papers in her hand.I guess it's his secretary!They walk over and talk by his office desk and I need to get out from there. Walking over to my bag and jacket I take them up from the floor and start to head over to the door."Where do you think you're going?" his voice booms out and I halt in my track."need to use the bathroom!" I say and wait for him to force me to stay."the gua

Elena povGone is my functional brain and I just stand in my place and take him all in when he walks right over to where I am.How can any man look that sexy?Averting my eyes to the side for a moment and trying to get a grip on my thoughts."answer!" he booms out and tries to reach for me but I take a step back. I don't want a repeat of the moment in his office again. Need to keep a safe distance between us and whatever is happening when he touches me. Looking up at him his eyes almost look black in the night light."just out for a walk!" I say and my heart beats hard in my chest from my lie! Seeing him tilt his head to the side and look me all over, I take another step back when I see Tobias and two more comings walking out of the forest standing behind him. Looking at them they have all just shorts on them and are barefoot. It's chilly outside, don't they freeze? And they have to be working out a lot with the number of muscles they all have.Looking back at Aziel I see him still ha

Elena povI hear Tobias get in the front seat and start the car. Trying to get as far away from Aziel as I can when he leans over me."Technically it wasn't my orders but Tobias!" I say in a small voice when I hear him laugh out loud from the front seat."that statement won't get you in a better place with him!" he says when the car makes a turn before it stops. With the short drive, I can only guess we are at the nightclub or somewhere close. The door opens up when Aziel gets out before reaching for me and dragging me out of the car and tossing me over his shoulder again. It's like I weigh nothing to him with the way he tosses me around!"do you treat all your employees this way?" I shout to him when I see Sofia chuckle and walk over to stand beside Tobias when Aziel starts to walk away with me. It's embarrassing and I don't get him!He doesn't answer my questions and keeps walking inside the nightclub."I'm talking to you! Aziel will you put me down!" I shout to him again when he wa
