Verity was a quiet 16 year old girl who had a tough life. She never meant for things to go so bad- so why did they? Abandoned at the ripe age of 3, she was adopted by a narcissistic asshole who abused her for 13 years straight. Her only escape was her best friends, who she saw as her older brothers and his dad- who she called her dad. He fed her and kept her safe, helping her when things got bad at home. She introduced herself as Verity Volkov, which wasn't her last name but the last name she wishes she had. Her father figure, Mikael Volkov, was the leader of the Russian mafia. Verity attended NLA, New Life Academy. One day, when she is at school, the unspeakable happens- her adoptive father commits. With nowhere to legally go, she sits in the sheriffs office, awaiting her DNA test. To her surprise, she has a family- in fact, she had a mom, a dad, and 6 older brothers. Six! What was she to do as she moves to Italy to live with her biological family, who appeared to be the Russians rivals- the Italian mafia. Her father was the don of the goddamn Italian mafia. She stays quiet and emotionless during her time in Italy, trying to cope before she meets Nicolas Ricci- the man her family despises yet the man who took interest in her. The man she falls in love with without realizing. As her story unfolds and secrets reveal, Verity goes through an emotional rollercoaster. And through this all Verity has one question only: Why did her biological family abandon her? What will she do to cope through all of this? ______________________________________

"Wh-why did you stop the elevator?",I asked. He turned on his feet to face me again. "You were saying?" He asked completely ignoring my question. He took another step forward and I stepped back again and I bumped my back on the wall as I felt the cold mirror on my skin. "That you like him." He said. "I-I don- -", I stammered looking down as Christian brought his hand close to my face tugging a stray strand behind my ear. I tilted my face up to meet his blue orbs. He stepped more closer to me as our chests touched. I gulped down contemplating our short proximity. He then slid his fingers down my bare arm raising goosebumps on my skin. He leaned closer to me. "Does he have this effect on you?", He whispered as his cool minty breath fanned my cheek. My heart was throbbing against my chest so hard as if it'd come out uniting with his. There was a small smile playing on his lips making me feel that he was enjoying what was happening to me. With a quick movement he slipped his arm around my waist tugging me more into him. I dropped the files and my handbag and placed my hands on his big muscular chest. His face was mere centimetres away from mine. "Christian...", I whispered looking at his lips. "Tell me." He whispered in his deep velvety voice as he brought his other hand to my face, caressing my bottom lip with his thumb. I looked back into his ocean blue eyes to see him gaze at my lips with his dark, lustful eyes. He flipped a lock of hair away from my shoulder exposing it. He came closer and closer to me. _________________________ Reign Adams is a beautiful and bold woman who happens to be the CEO of Adams Hotels.

"I don't have to like you. I need your money to pay the bills and that's it. For all I care, we can be perfect strangers." He laughed. "So much hatred coming from a shy nerd ..." "So much smugness coming from a boy whose living arrangement is in my hands ..." Lukas raised his hands in mock surrender. "Touché." He laughed. "Man, are you feisty ..." "Maybe I'm in a bad mood." "My fault?" I arched an eyebrow at him. "You tell me, you're the one that basically broke into my house." "Hey, I knocked. You didn't hear me." "That's when you wait, and knock again, Sherlock." I scoffed. Lukas smirked smugly, his eyes once again raking over my full frame. "Didn't know I'd find you naked, sweetheart. In that case I wouldn't have even knocked ..." 🔥🔥🔥 You can review Roommates with Benefits on Goodreads!
