LUCIUS
Lisa was gone and I was seated behind a table in my home office, trying to work just to get the thoughts of her out of my head.
The feel and taste of her lips kept distracting me from work. I never felt like this. Work had always been first for me and nothing at all ever got into my head once I was working but now here I was, trying hard to get myself working while distracted by that thought of a woman in her twenties, a woman whom I should treat as a daughter.
But I had really liked the feel of her ass in my hand and her sweet moan. Fuck! How sweetly would she moan if I was to bury my face in between her legs and....
My phone rang, interrupting my thoughts and I was so glad about that cause what the hell had I been thinking about? I reached for my phone and grabbed it from the table.
It was an unknown contact calling and I narrowed my eyes at the numbers. With a hardened look, I picked the call and took the phone to my ear, staying quiet.
For the first few seconds, the other line was totally quiet until someone spoke up in a familiar voice.
"Hello, Lucius" he greeted and I leaned back into my chair.
"Why did you call?" I questioned.
"I heard you are back in the country and you are a billionaire now" he replied with a chuckle.
"Do you have anything to say?" I questioned in a stern voice.
"How many lives did you waste to get that much money?" He asked, his tone now stern as well.
"Just enough to get me here" I replied.
"There's a huge job and I thought I should get you onto the job...."
"I don't do it anymore. I stopped a year ago" I cut him off and the line went silent for two seconds before he burst into laughter.
"You don't do it anymore? Since a year ago? You mean to tell me you haven't soiled your hands in a year?"
"I don't intend on getting back to it."
"Lucius Devine is telling me that he hasn't killed in a year. That is the last thing I would ever believe. You are always blood thirsty, you can't stop. You know that, Lucius."
"If you don't end the call right now, I might get blood thirsty enough to drain life out of you" I threatened.
"Fine, I will end the call but I am sure you will be back soon. You can't leave, you know it but by then you would have lost this huge deal" he said and ended the call.
I dropped my phone back onto the table with a groan and glared hard at the shelf of business books opposite me.
Once you are into dirty business, leaving was difficult. No, it was impossible. Yet a year ago, I had done the impossible and left the mafia.
But even I, Lucius Devine could not leave completely. Leaving completely would mean exposing my life to dangers and getting myself killed instantly. I was just inactive and I planned on keeping it that way until I fucking died.
I was done with the business that took everyone away from me but still I knew that Ronald was right, I was too blood thirsty to be completely done.

The next day
MONALISA
I and Francesca were in our usual cafe shop and Francesca would just not stop rambling on and on about how much I was going to like Bryant, the guy she was going to introduce me to.
"He is so fucking handsome and the girls he has been with all say he is good in bed!"
