Life had felt like a prison, one you couldn’t escape from no matter how hard you tried. God how hard you tried over and over again. Especially not when there were three of them always watching over you. Three notorious mob bosses who’d put you under their surveillance.

You had no privacy with Aël, the leader of the group. You weren’t allowed to breathe most of the time. It always felt suffocating being around his presence, almost as if you were stepping on eggshells around his latter. He always made sure to make it known you were his obsession.

Then there was Leon and Matthieu, who were the calmest compared to Aël. They were just as possessive as Aël but they knew their limits. Although they were more gentle with you, they were just as ruthless when it came to important matters, especially when it came down to satisfying their needs and desires.

Whether it was for your company or any form of sexual intimacy to fulfill their selfish desires. It was your job to keep them happy no matter the outcome. It was like you were a shackled bird where you had no freedom or time to take flight and fend for yourself. It had been that way for months since they had taken an interest in you. No way of escaping their greedy clutches.

The rain felt nice against your skin. It was a rare moment of peace and quiet. You had managed to slip away from all three men but you knew it was a matter of time before one of them came searching for you. Especially with the penthouse being heavily surveil-lanced by guards and cameras.

The sound of the heavy rain had tuned out any noise around you that you didn’t hear the set of footsteps from behind you until a firm voice broke the peaceful atmosphere.

“You’ll get sick being out in the rain like this and we both know how Aël is gonna react when he finds out about this little stunt of yours.”

You didn’t need to turn around to know who’s cologne mixed cigarette scent and gentle tone it was behind you.
