Hugo:
I am the undisputed king of the underworld. I rule the country and being the only manufacturer of quality weapons, I own every life. As the head, I get to choose first and then I can choose to throw the remains for everyone to have a bite.
There is no one who can leave my claws, I can have whoever I want, be it a boy or a girl. No strings attached. My heart is woven in black. No time and space for any colors in my life.
I can’t tolerate deceit and breaking trusts. Loyalty means everything to me. To me dishonesty is equivalent to death, that’s why I never trust anyone.
I am happy being the emotionless person in this world until she came into my life as a payment and I was supposed to kill her after using her, only if I knew….
Caterina:
I was living my life in a romantic fantasy. I had dream of a prince coming and taking me away to a far land.
There came someone to take me away. But he wasn’t a prince. He was a ruthless king of underworld. I had heard about him in hushed whispers but I had never thought of meeting him face to face.
I was nothing to him, nothing worthy. And I had accepted my fate but he took away from me the only thing I had vowed to keep for the one I would love.
I hate him and he gets off my anger and hurt. He likes to flaunt himself with a new girl everyday and every night. It should not make me feel anything but hatred towards him. And I want to run away from this dark world. And I did succeed but at what cost…..

Chapter: Chapter 10Chapter 10 stmHugo had to take complete rest for at least two weeks before he was cleared to work. In that week if there was someone who had to really test their patience, it was Caterina. She had to bear all the mood swings of her boss aka Hugo. Sometimes he was so calm and relaxed, friendly if you might say, and other times he was a wild lion, ready to chop anyone's head off. Even Luca grimaced looking at the scattered lounge because Hugo couldn't find the tv control that was apparently placed right in front of him. Despite the fact that Luca didn't like to lose, he admired Caterina's calm personality, how she handled Hugo. But among all the chaos, there was one thing Hugo felt. His heart change towards Caterina was so powerful and real that he got scared of himself. He tried to call girls to divert himself but he couldn't make it happen, not that he was answerable to anyone, he felt he wasn't doing right. It's like you want a certain brand of whiskey and it is placed on the hi

Chapter: Chapter 9Chapter 9 Hugo sighed in relief when he was settled on the couch in the lounge. He turned on the TV but kept it mute. The change of scenery was already refreshing and he only wanted to add to the ambiance but wasn't interest in listening in watching whatever going on the tv. He nodded at his staff who were dutifully doing their chores. He was relaxed but his mind was stuck at a specific girl whom he havent saw since he came in the lounge. He tried to subtly sneak around with his eyes but not even a single sight. ‘where did she go’? He thought to himself, trying to get himself busy with his mobile to check the underworld chatting. Everyone had heard about the ambush on Hugo and it was clearly pissing him off. He had to face all this insult just because of a pussy.He picked up his phone to call Luca and ask about any update but just then he saw Caterina coming out of the room. He didn't check if Luca had picked the call or not and hung up the call, staring at her. She had taken

Chapter: Chapter 8Chapter 8 stm. Hugo woke up with a groan. His vision was blurry and he could feel his eyes swollen. His head was throbbing too. He licked his dry lips and tried to swallow but his throat was dead parched. He tried to move around but his arm was held to stop him from moving around. “Don't move sir. You are injured and you have temperature”. He heard a low familiar voice. He turned slowly this time and saw Caterina sitting on the chair by his side. She had a thermometer strip in her hand as she removed the towel off his forehead. He instantly missed the coolness on his forehead that was way comforting. He saw as she dipped the towel again in water and squeezed extra water out and placed the towel back on his forehead. “The doctor had arrived and had examined you. He said you have to take proper bed rest for at least a week and you can eat light food. Would you like something to eat sir?” She asked him and for once Hugo was short of words. “Water…. Please”. Hugo said in a scratch

Chapter: Chapter 7Chapter 7 stm Hugo was busy these days. Caterina had not seen him for over a week or maybe she missed his presence. He had turned into a ghost. Caterina would do her work as per routine but since he wouldn't come home, her work load was far less and that would give her plenty of time to think about the things she didn't want to. For instance her father …She had not heard of him since the day she was taken from him and she would often worry about him. Well not often, all the time, but mostly her mind would be so occupied with the daily chores that she won'pay attention to it but now… She was sitting in the living area, aimlessly looking out of the windows when the elevator door opened with a ping. She jolted and turned to see Hugo entering the apartment but what scared her was Luca holding a bleeding and unconscious Hugo. He must have been hit multiple times or maybe it was the blood. She screamed looking at him but one glare from Luca was enough to shut her up. “Call Marco”. H

Chapter: Chapter 6Chapter 6 stm“She needs bed rest for at least a week. She is low on nutritions and strength. I am prescribing these medicines and she needs to take them”. The doctor held out a prescription for Caterina as Luca gestured to Gerald to get it. “Hmmm”. Hugo only grunted. This whole situation was displeasing him. He hated to admit but since Caterina had started working for him, his left wing would be sparkling and squeaky clean. Her food tasted better too but now with her put on rest, he was getting irritated at the thought of having Martha again in his wing. No offense, she was good with what she did but again, Caterina had spoiled Hugo without knowing a bit. “Ask Martha to get on work but make sure to stay out of my hair”. He pointed at Luca and turned to go to his office. He wasn't focused on his work although he had to gauge potential clients for his new business venture. But his mind was occupied with Caterina. There was a certain innocence in her that would always leave him di

Chapter: Chapter 5Chapter 5 stm Caterina was nervous. The backyard was filled with hundreds of people. She eyed them nervously as the butler handed her another tray of appetizers to take to the table and serve to the guests. She had never dealt with so many people although she was running a cafe with her father for years. The slacks and shirt was already making her uncomfortable and those heels. And not to mention the tray was filled to the brim. She managed to hold it and serve the guests one by one, ignoring the wandering hands and people mocking at her. She bit the insides of her cheek to hold her tears back. She wanted to shout and stab every hand that moved on her body without her consent. She wanted to make sure not to offend any guest because she was surely scared of Hugo and Luca. It was her fourth trip from the bar to the table when suddenly someone pushed her purposely. She tried to balance herself but failed. The tray fell off her hands and splashed on a few people surrounding her. It

Chapter: Chapter 11Chapter 11 “I met Marshall or Marsh as I used to call him, when I went to attend a charity ball for an orphanage. And there was that spark that we feel at the first touch. He was passionate about his company, currently the CEO, and he was really ambitious. But besides that, he was a kind hearted person. I had seen him speaking at the charity ball and it wasn't just his words, he practically did it. He made sure to start the contract of the construction of a new wing with all the facilities they needed. I looked at him, and kept on thinking about him even when I went home. I was a BI and I came out in very early age, and that was the reason why my parents cut all their ties with me. They could not live with the idea that their only child, a son, an heir to their inheritance was interested in boys and not women. I had been forced to attend camps and churches because according to my parents, its a contagious disease that I had caught somehow. There was a time when my father’s acq

Chapter: Chapter 10Chapter 10 “So he is Josh”. Josh was squirming under the intense gaze of Bolt’s parent. They had arrived not an hour ago and after they had a detailed discussion with the doctor and Bolt, they turned their attention to the beautiful man sitting beside their stupid son, their words. “Yes Mom Dad, he is Josh”. Bolt sighed for the umpteenth time. Josh looked at Bolt looking so frustrated and started giggling. Bolt looked at his and his lips stretched into a smile too. He held Josh’s hand who tried to glare at him but ended up blushing. Bolt’s parents had accepted him the very moment they saw him, and now they fell for him too, looking at the way he was looking at Bolt. They were impressed at his achievements and promised to visit his restaurant once Bolt was discharged from the hospital. “Why do I feel you have started to love him more than me”. Bolt pouted at his parents, showering their love and attention at Josh. “Yes. In fact we are adopting him as our son. You can go

Chapter: Chapter 9Chapter 9 Bolt woke up with a start. He tried to sit up on instinct but someone put a hand on his chest to stop him from moving abruptly. “Relax. Take it easy. You might open your wounds again”. He opened his eyes to see the doctor looking at him with kind eyes. “How are you feeling now?” The doctor asked pulling a torch pen from his pocket. “So much pain”. Bolt croaked. He squinted hi eyes, letting the doctor check. “Well, it's natural, considering the nature of your injuries. You have managed to survive two hit that could have ended your life, or at least paralyzed you for your whole life”. The doctor finished the examination and picked up the chart. “For now we have reduced your pain killers to monitor your condition. We can give you one after every eight hours and continue reducing it until you don't need them. But until then, it's going to hurt really bad”. The doctor explained, making him nod. “Can I see my friends and family?” Bolt asked. His throat felt raw. “Su

Chapter: Chapter 8Chapter 8 It had been 6 hours of nerve wracking waiting in the waiting room. Those who were injured were advised to go home and rest while few stood on guard, including Martin and Richard as they refused to leave Bolt and Josh. Josh was scared as shit. He had never encountered a situation to see someone being shot and that too critical. As per the description of the hits, Josh was praying in his heart for nothing fatal. He knew the under ribs area was itself a red zone and not to mention the bullet that hit God knows where at the back. The most precise location was between shoulder blades. That could end worse if it hit any vertebrae. He cursed himself in his heart for the umpteenth time but he was helpless. His knee was bouncing restlessly only to be stopped gently by Pete who had just arrived after closing the restaurant. Richard was thankful to him that he brought food for everyone because no matter what, they needed their energy to stay strong for Bolt. Josh stubbornly

Chapter: Chapter 7Chapter 7 Bolt was helplessly in love with Josh. He stopped himself from falling for him but failed miserably, not when they would cross paths more often. Josh could see Bolt flirting with him. He could read his double meanings whenever he was around. He would never shy to pass comments on him and laugh at Josh blushing at his words. It was all good, but Josh could not open up to him. He was still scared and closed off. He knew he was being unfair to Bolt but in his defense, he had spent years in love with a man and he ended up hurting him so bad that he was scared to fall in love again. Bolt knew it all. He could see Josh smiling at his antics, but he could see his eyes faraway. He would feel Josh holding himself back, blocking all his advancements. He wanted to take Josh out, to tell him how he felt, but he knew it wasn’t the time. He wanted Josh to trust him and tell him all his reservations but he knew he had to give him space. Bolt

Chapter: Chapter 6Chapter 6 Josh locked the restaurant and went outside inhaling the deep scent of an autumn night. The air was crisp yet it wasn’t cold for him to wear a jacket or a sweater, in fact spending all day in the kitchen and closed off restaurant was making him warm and the night air was making him feel fresh. It was an inventory day hence he being late but it was all too familiar area so he wasn’t scared of walking a few feet to the parking area where he had parked his sedan. He had just unlocked his car when he was frozen on his feet as he felt the cold muzzle of a gun at his nape. He felt a shiver passing through his body and it had nothing to do with the cold air. No, he felt the fear creeping in his body. It had never happened with him and no matter how brave he was, a gun is a gun. “Don’t move. Give me everything you have.” He heard a cold voice. The mugger put his hands over the top of his car and started patting his pockets, grabbing his wallet.
