✨️ Working on a little something for 2025 ✨️
I'm so happy to be leaving the mafia romances alone for a while. Here is a little sneak peek:
As I adjust my earpiece and check the perimeter cameras one last time, the buzz of my walkie-talkie interrupts my focus.
"We have a situation at the south entrance," Nico says urgently. My heart kicks into high gear as I sprint down the corridor towards the mentioned location. A situation can mean two things, a breach or Seraphina and I pray it's not the latter.
I round the corner just in time to see Seraphina yelling at her security detail—on an I need freedom rant. Fucking hell, not again. Her hands are planted on her hips and that fucking skirt is short as ever, flaring with each animated gesture she makes. I forcibly redirect my attention to the unfolding situation.
"What's going on?" I demand, my voice heavy with authority as I approach.
“Oh, great who called the big bad fucking wolf?” She scoffs crossing her arms at her chest.
Ignoring her I look to Nico, “What seems to be the problem?” I ask.
“She wants to go to a friend's house,” he answers, and the way he emphasizes friend makes me know it’s a male friend.
I turn back to Seraphina, and she rolls her eyes. “You are not allowed to leave the premises today, Ms. Winters. Not with—”
“That’s ridiculous! I’m not a child, and you’re not my fucking keeper, Benji!” her voice rising with every word. "My father pays you to watch and protect him not me, so you can leave."
BTW: Seraphina and Benji are slowly becoming my favs.
