Chapter 1 The Dark and Stormy Night

As a storm raged outside, the lights flickered and then went out. Michelle was alone in the house, and she was scared. She heard the front door open, but no one was there. Suddenly, she heard footsteps on the stairs. Her heart started to race as the footsteps got closer. Then... the door to her room creaked open...

Michelle sat frozen in her bed as the door to her room slowly opened. She could hear someone breathing, but she couldn't see anyone in the darkness. The door creaked open a little further, and then a hand reached around the doorframe. A man stepped into the room, his face obscured by shadows. "Who are you?" she whispered. "I'm your worst nightmare," he said, his voice low and menacing.

Michelle's mind raced as she tried to think of what to do. Should she scream? Run? But she couldn't move, she was frozen with fear. The man stepped closer to her, and she could see his face now. It was a face she recognized, but it couldn't be... it was impossible. "No, it can't be you," she whispered. "Oh, but it is," he said with a sneer. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

The man who stood before her was none other than her ex-boyfriend, Michael. They had broken up a year ago, and she had thought she had put him behind her. But here he was, in her room, in the middle of a stormy night. "What do you want?" she asked, her voice shaking. "I want you back," he said. "I never stopped loving you." She stared at him, not sure what to say. "You cheated on me," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I know, and I'm sorry," he said. "But I've changed,"I've been to therapy, I've worked on myself, and I know I can be a better man," he said. "I want to make things right between us. Please give me another chance." Michelle was stunned. She wasn't sure what to believe. Could he really have changed? Or was this just another manipulation? "I don't know if I can trust you," she said. "I understand," he said. "But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your trust back." She thought for a moment, weighing her options. "I need some time to think," she said. "Of course"I'll give you all the time you need," he said. "But please, promise me one thing." She looked at him, curious. "What's that?" she asked. "Promise me that you'll be safe," he said. "There's a storm outside, and I'm worried about you." She was surprised by his concern. He had never been like this before. "I promise," she said. "Thank you," he said, and he turned to leave. "Wait," she said, before he could walk out the door. "What?" he asked, turning back to face her. "Will you stay with me until the storm is over?" she asked. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Of course," he said. He walked over to the couch and sat down. She sat next to him, and they sat in silence for a few minutes, listening to the rain outside. Finally, she spoke. "I'm glad you're here," she said. "Me too," he said. They sat in silence for a few more minutes, and then she spoke again. "Can I ask you a question?" she said. "Of course," he said. "What made you come here tonight?"

"I couldn't stop thinking about you," he said. "I missed you. I missed talking to you, I missed being with you. I missed everything about you. And I knew I had to come and tell you that." She looked at him, and she could see the sincerity in his eyes. "I've missed you too," she said. They sat in silence for a moment, and then he spoke again. "Can I ask you something?" he said. "Of course," she said. "Do you think we could ever go back to the way things were before?"

She thought about his question for a moment. "I don't know," she said finally. "I don't know if we can go back to the way things were before, but maybe we can start over and build something new." He looked at her, and she could see the hope in his eyes. "I'd like that," he said. "Me too," she said. They both sat there, unsure of what to say next. Finally, he spoke. "Can I ask you another question?" he said. "Sure," she said. "What do you want?" he asked.

She thought about his question for a moment. "I want a fresh start," she said. "I want to leave the past behind and start over. I want to be happy again." He looked at her, and she could see the understanding in his eyes. "I want that too," he said. "I want us to be happy." She smiled, and she felt a weight lift from her shoulders. "I think we can do that," she said. "I think we can be happy together." He smiled back at her. "I think so too," he said. They sat there, smiling at each other, and for the first time in a long time, they both felt a sense of hope. "Do you want to watch a movie?" he asked. "I'd love to," she said. He got up and put on a movie, and they sat together on the couch, watching it. They were both relaxed and comfortable, and they felt like they could finally breathe again. As the movie ended, they both looked at each other. "It's getting late," he said. "Do you want me to stay?" "Yes," she said. "I'd like that." He smiled, and they both settled in for the night.

The next morning, they both woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. "Good morning," he said, smiling at her. "Good morning," she said, smiling back. They got up and made breakfast together, chatting and laughing as they did. After they ate, they went for a walk in the park. They strolled along, hand in hand, enjoying the fresh air and the sunshine. When they got home, they sat on the couch and talked for hours, catching up on everything they had missed. It was like they had never been apart.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
