BOOK THREE OF THE BLACK SERIES *this book CANNOT be read as a stand-alone* -- "Get the hell off of me, Lucian," I snapped angrily, smacking the palm of my hands on his muscular back as he carried me out of the club. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" It wasn't until he carried me upstairs and into a VIP room that he set me on my feet. I wobbled from the combination of my heels and the alcohol finally reaching my brain. It didn't stop me from glaring at him, but he just stared back, his eyes blank. As always. He's never been a talker, unlike me. What the hell was he even doing here? "You can't just walk on the dance floor and throw me over your shoulder like a sack of potatoes," I snapped, trying to get passed him. "I'm not a kid anymore, Lucian, okay? I'm not yours to protect - I never have been!" Hearing those words must have triggered him because he snapped. Lucian roughly grabbed me by the waist and pushed me against the cold wall, his body pressed right against mine. My eyes widened in shock and I met his blazing glare, feeling his hand creep up to my hair and twist it in his knuckles. I tried to force the lump down my throat but felt the confidence leave my body. "I can do damn well as I please when I see my woman dancing with a man who would want nothing more than to take her back to his place," he growled out, tilting my head up by my hair. Our lips were almost touching. I suddenly can't breathe. "You're mine, Mia," he spoke, this time his words low and raspy. "You always have been - never fucking forget that."

"Stop pretending. Boyfriend, right? With whom you'll be hanging out once Eth and your Dad are gone." I stared at him in disbelief. "What more things are you gonna do? I would love to know more." "Dante please, leave." I tried to push him away but instead he held my hands and pinned them behind me pulling me closer to him, our chest crashed with each other. His one hand came up to my lips, I gulped hard he looked really angry. His eyes landed on my lips tracing his thumb over my bottom lip he asked "Did he kiss you?" I remained quiet. Taking his gaze off my lips he looked me in the eye and asked again "Did he kiss you?" "Why do you care?" I asked back. ************************************** Dante Armel, a billionaire to whom success is everything and the word love, it doesn't have any meaning in his life.

Excerpt Seeing her frozen without even blinking, he came towards her and yelled, "I. said. STRIP." Hearing that, she mumbled in a pleading tone, "Please, Jwalin. I... I'm sorry if I did something wrong. Leave me. I'll just go away and never appear before you again." Listening to her pleas and her stupid talk about leaving, he chuckled, it was so dark that her bones turned chilly. "It was so late to talk about leaving, Pranavi." He said while he moved closer to her and she tried to run, but his hand drove faster than hers and his tight grasp settled on her slender waist while his nails dug into her skin, making her wince in pain. The way Jwalin said it was so late, made her insides twist and she wondered if she had missed out on something. But alas, she had more pressing things that needed her immediate focus. With that, she again tried in her wobbled tone while struggling not to let those pesky wails escape her eyes and piss him off further. "I... I can give you divorce, Jwalin. I... I know... you hate me, so I can make you... free from me, from this forced marriage." She said while his expression turned livid. There was so much hidden rage in him that was threatening to come out by breaking all the bounds. He smirked, while disgust danced on his face, "divorce?" Shaking his head, he asked, his voice turned scary, making her gulp while blinking her eyes, "Do you really think you could do that after being Mrs. Jwalin Oberoi?" ..............................

"Let me go. You can't do this." I hissed and tried to look away. I knew looking at him will only make things worse but I could still feel his breaths brushing my face. My breath hitched when he held my face. "You need to divorce him. Are you even listening to me? You are mine," He leaned in and I pushed his shoulder with all my might. "Shut up," My blood was boiling and my sight started getting blurry as my eyes welled up. "I love my husband. Do you hear me? I love him. You are no one for me!" His jaw got hard and his lips pursed. He looked at me and smiled. "You are only Adam's." He straightened and grazed his thumb over his temple as he was used to. I inhaled before rushing out, wondering how I was supposed to tell my husband that his so good of a boss is Adam Cross. My Adam Cross...And, I got frozen. My?

"I am merely a performer. I am not a whore or an object to satisfy your desires," tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. "I don't care," he retorted callously. "Fuck you," she spat, her voice trembling with anger and defiance. "That was precisely my intention, Ms. Ferrari," he smirked, his eyes filled with an unholy desire. **** "Take off your clothes." Her eyes widened in shock, and instinctively, she acted on her first impulse-running towards the door. But before she could reach the lock, a strong, muscular hand stopped her efforts. She struggled to remove his hand, but her attempts proved futile. Shaking her head in defiance, she refused his demeaning command. She would accept any condition he set forth at that moment, but stripping in front of him was a line she wouldn't cross. She felt his breath on her exposed neck, his orders and demands devoid of any semblance of humanity. In an instant, her body was forcefully thrown onto the nearby couch as he loomed over her petite figure, his hands planted firmly on either side of her head, his expression deadly. "If you can't comply, I can always call my guards to do it for you. Shall I?" he hissed, his words venomous. She wished for a natural disaster to befall her, to erase her existence from his presence. The hand on her right side retreated as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Her eyes widened, realizing that he was a man of his word. No one should dare to play with fire when they were unaware of the consequences. She wriggled beneath him, emitting a raspy cry. Before he could make the call, she blurted out her answer. "I'll do it." Story of a don and a professional dancer. A tale of betrayal, love-hate, obsession, deception, blood, darksouls, forbidden desire, redemption and togetherness.
