Taming The Villainess

The villains are back together and the flames have never been stronger. _ He was the plague she should have stayed away from, but she fell for his charm. When their wrong decisions caught up to them, he left. And just when she thought she had moved on, he is back—in her workplace and in her life, with no intention of ever leaving. His presence makes her think of things that should never cross her mind, but that is nothing compared to him trapping her against the wall. She looked up go him in frustration. "Dr. Aubert, get a hold of yourself. What do you think you're doing?" He held her chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze as he traced her lips with his thumb. "Picking up where we left off." .... Carlos didn't think he would ever let a woman hold any kind of power over him until he met her—the feisty, sexy Villainess who made his heart race with just a smile. And when he had to choose between her and himself, he made the wrong choice. He is back, stronger than ever, ready to protect the one person he cares about and win her love.

Chapter 55

Why would Shera call at such an hour and so out of the blue? She wondered aloud, but her head was already spinning. There was only one reason—a medical emergency. 

She shuffled out of bed at the same time as Carlos answered the call. She could clearly hear Shera's frantic voice as the latter spoke but she couldn't quite make out the words. All she heard was Carlos telling her they would be ready to leave in a jiffy.

He turned to her as soon as the call ended. "Leo's plane is on its way to pick us up. La Rose Noire members were attacked last night and it doesn't sound good." 

She ran a hand through her messy hair. "Just great. I thought all would be well as long as I left Imperium." Even though she knew this was likely not about her, she had thought of herself as some kind of jinx and assumed things would change if she left.
