I tried drawing in a breath only to flinch and cry out in agony from the sharp, shooting pain. A cough erupted out of me that caused my ribs to ache. I whimpered and tears fell from my eyes. I struggled to draw in a lungful of air again without it feeling like I was suffocating.

I could hear them scuffling and I tried to push myself up one last time, only to fall to the floor again.

"She is pregnant." I heard Kova say.

"Pregnant! What do you mean pregnant!"

"Adrianna." I heard my name in the distance.

"Open your eyes!"

"She is bleeding!"

"Ana! Open your eyes."

"Call an ambulance. Hurry!"

"What did you do!"

I couldn’t move my lips to respond. I couldn’t lift myself to stop them from killing each other.

My vision was spotty. I tried to blink a few times, attempting to stay awake and fight the body-draining fatigue that was taking over me. I just wanted to go to sleep.

Sleep sounded like a good idea.

"Malysh! Stay with me!"

I couldn’t.

All I could do was lay there in agony, my broken body trembling in a warm pool of blood as my eyes rolled shut and darkness consumed me.

To be continued one final time…

Turn for a preview of Hush, Hush.

I knew the rules.

Never reveal my true identity.

Play the game, give the illusion.

Don’t get close to the clients.

The dark and glamorous lifestyle of the rich and shameless open my eyes to a lavish world of sin and wealth, and a man I can’t have.

A man I desperately want—James Riviera.

We're treading a fine line as we live the ultimate double life until we make a startling discovery that tests both our loyalties.

I only had to follow the rules, but rules are meant to be broken.

Chapter One

"Where are you coming from all dolled up like that?" I rub my sleepy eyes, then reach under the throw pillow for my cell phone to check the time. It’s 4:04 a.m.

"Shit, Aubrey, I’m sorry," my roommate says. "I didn't mean to wake you up. Go back to sleep."

The walls of our apartment are paper-thin, making it almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep. Then again, I’m used to it.
