The Mafia Devil's Princess
Kierra Hail had already lost everything—her child, her marriage, her dignity. Betrayed by the man she once loved, cast aside for his mistress, and left to rot as he stripped her of everything she owned. But the cruelest blow? Her daughter’s death, a tragedy her husband could have prevented if he had only chosen her life over his secret lover’s son.
Now, broken and gasping for one last chance at survival, Kierra dials a number she swore she’d never use.
A man who calls her princess.
A man who doesn’t forgive.
A man who owns the underworld.
Sebastian Novair—heir to the infamous Noir de Costas Syndicates and a merciless mafia king with blood on his hands and fire in his veins. Years ago, Kierra saved him. Now, he’s back to collect his debt—with interest.
He offers her power, vengeance, and the sweet taste of retribution. But making a deal with the devil has its price… and he’s more than willing to make her pay in ways she never imagined.
He’ll ruin her enemies.
He’ll break her chains.
And he’ll claim what’s always been his— her.

Chapter: NuisanceDesmond Hail was someone I thought was my father’s best friend.He was there in every occasion of the family. He was kind to my mother and my father talked highly of him— but on the day he left, Desmond tore off his mask to show his true intentions.He persuaded my relatives to put me out of wedlock so he could leech himself into my father’s business. A business, I had tried so hard to save even if I held no more position in it. They siphoned everything they could get from Eboncorp and tarnished its name.And now, I am the one they call outsider.What a hypocrite.If I could count in my fingers how many times I have negotiated to bring investors in Eborncorp, I wouldn’t be able to.I was good at my work and Damian never acknowedged me. He took credit for all of my efforts and left me with no image to look at everyone.Simp2ly just Kierra Evans-Hail, wife of Damian.Not an heiress to Eboncorp, of which they have seized after I was wedded to him. As their cruelty started to take hold,

Chapter: Rivalry“Kie, are you okay?” Alessio comforted me as he stroked my hair. I’ve been too depressed lately to even smile so the two of them brought me to a small restaurant for dinner. They figured I was desperate to have someone to talk to, so I took the offer. I told them everything. From coming home to flowers to Desmond Hail visiting me. “Of course she’s not okay.” Alexandrei crossed his arm against his broad chest. “She’s just faced her abuser.” “Kierra, if we can find something to prove that Desmond abused you, we can make the magic happen and let the court prosecute him.” “It’s happened more than ten years ago, Alessio.” I told him. “I have no proof.” Alessio and Alexandrei looked at one another, sad. “Kie, just tell us if there’s anything we can help at all. Like anything!” I smiled at them and buried my head against my arms, “I just kind of want to rest.” Alessio smacked Alexandrei’s arm and he sighed, “I’ll take you home then, Kierra. It’s late already.” I nod at Alexandrei an

Chapter: PatriarchToday, another day in the office but I felt much confident now. I don’t plan on staying in the gutter for too long because of Sebastian. I am one of the best students, handpicked to graduate earlier than the rest. I won’t let my potential be dimmed by something as pathetic as heartbreak.And so, I did.I managed my patients on my first day and it was fun. This was the beauty of medicine. To help people get better— a big contrast to what I used to do back then. To kill people.I managed to find my peace in the hospital. If chance was given to live here, I’d honestly do it. “Doctor Evans?” one of the senior doctors called out my name. I quickly stood from my seat, even stubbing my toe in the process.“Yes, doctor?” I replied back to acknowledge. “I’m going to assign a patient to you that had just come in for a check-up. Are you able to do it?”“Yes, of course!” I enthusiastically replied, more than happy to contribute. “Where is he now?”“He’s at the clinic waiting for you. I need to

Chapter: CamelliasI felt like shit on my residency training.On my first day, I almost got late for work and I was feeling the hungover from head to toe. I could barely concentrate in the orientation in the hospital, and when I was asked questions, I couldn’t even recall if I answered them right.Unlike anything, I couldn’t possible make an excuse of being sick. Obviously, my coworkers are doctors so making such a false diagnosis would probably get my ass kicked. When the orientation was over, I took a break on a small cafe across the hospital. I just needed the time to gather my thoughts and sleep before coming back in again to finish transferring some of my things into the office. I start tomorrow, so I need to get this all done today.It didn’t help that my head was ringing loudly.I ordered my usual drink and settle myself in a seat outside. There, I took my time sipping my drink. When I finished, I was about to nap, when I spot a familiar face outside. A boy, now more grown, surrounded by two ot

Chapter: SpottedSebastian was in the bar, drinking with other women.He leaned back into the booth with practiced ease, dressed in his usual all-black attire. There was a woman draped at his side. God she was glamorous, with striking red lipstick and long, manicured nails that rested over his chest like she owned him. God, I can never be as pretty as her.Another sat across from him, laughing at something he said, although his expression was distant. Detached.But his eyes weren’t on them.His gaze was on the bar counter, scanning with the eyes of a trained predator. Then they locked on two familiar figures: Alessio and Alexandrei.Sebastian’s demeanor changed into something serious, but barely noticeable to those who didn’t know him well. But to someone like me, even from a distance, I saw the way his back straightened, his hand stopped mid-lift before taking another sip of his scotch. He narrowed his eyes, his jaw tightening subtly as recognition settled in.He looked away from them for just a sec

Chapter: MemoriesTWO YEARS AFTER“Congratulations on your graduation, Doctor Evans.”I shook the hand of the professor that believed me all these years. She was an elderly woman, always so cheerful and undestanding of me even if I took several gap years from medical school. Yes, you heard it right— medical school.I finally got the courage to finish the profession I had fallen in love with. Though it took a ripe age of twenty-seven to finally finish it, thank God, I finally did. I clutch my diploma with a big smile as I bid my professors goodbye. Tomorrow, I start with my residency training and I am incredibly nervous.I walked out of the university with a sense of purpose. Finally! I have become something I’ve always dreamt to be! Though it look an entire loan for me to get here, I was finally proud that I get a headstart on making a living for my own.I clutch my pendant and glanced at Lily’s picture. It was worn and faded, and my daughter’s features are nearly gone—but I remember them vividly in

Chapter: The EndThe bells rang from the distance. The woman with the bright orange hair stood behind the huge doors of the church. Her eyes were closed and a smile was evident on the woman's lips. Everything that she dreamed of was finally before her eyes. The moment had finally come. She opened her eyes and the doors finally parted ways. Her eyes fell to the long golden aisle that she so dreamt of walking one day. Beside it, on the benches, for all the people she loved and cared for. She felt her heart start pounding and racing faster and faster, when her bright persimmon orbs reached the center of the long corridor. There he stood, the love of her life, the apple of her eye, the man who taught her how to love. He had a smirk on his face and she just wanted to get over with that aisle wipe that smug grin off his face with a kiss. The music started. The harmonious synchronization of chorale brought everyone to their tears. Her mother who was standing also, in the aisle— staring at her beautif

Chapter: Secret?Asty was walking around the palace when she noticed something strange everywhere. The maids seem to be avoiding her and she did not seem to see a single sentry guarding the gates.Everyone seems to be very busy and every time she would greet them they would only turn away."That's odd." she told herself. "They don't really act like this to me before."She walked around and around and even brought herself into the garden. But there was not a single person around.What was going on, she thought.She couldn't even find her friends anywhere in the Palace. She had woken up with absolutely nothing but the chirping of birds. She looked around to see if there was someone she can talk to.Yvonne wasn't there, Chaol wasn't there. Even her brother was not there."Where could they all have gone to?"She noticed that the maids were stealing glances at her. She would look at them and wave but then they would only avoid her gaze.

The sun was before them, and they could feel it burning through their skin, but even so— their eyes were fixed on the blanket of flowers that seemed to flow against the wind."This is so beautiful." Lana commented.Asty smiled at her. "This is where my mistress is buried.""Why isn't she buried in a proper grave?""That is because this is what she requested. That is a part of her will to be buried under the field of dandelions, chrysanthemums, and daisies. She wanted to face the sun and the skies. She wanted to look at the blanket of stars as she rested. That is what she imagined."They smiled at her and walked towards the field."I think it is better if we leave you be." Chaol told Asty, Yvonne, and Robynn.

She stared at it for a long amount of time before wondering something in her head.Chaol reached out to her head and made it rest on his shoulders."Is something troubling you?" he asked her."No nothing at all." She told him. "I was just wondering a few things.""Like what?""They are not very pleasant things." She told him and smiled. "It's best if I keep it to myself.""You can always tell me about it. I won't mind." Chaol smiled at her. "Is it because of the battle?""Yeah." she nodded. "Polo was... in pain. I didn't know that he had to go through all that that's why he became the way he was.

Chapter: The AftermathTWO WEEKS AFTER THE ECLIPSE WAREverything was starting to get better and better. The castle was finally starting to have its exterior and interior repair. It was not an easy path for them to take. The villagers that survived the war still had fear lingering inside their hearts. But nevertheless, even if there were fear and there was uncertainty, villagers continued to place their trust in the king. The king provided them with all the construction materials that they will be able to use to fix their houses that were crushed and broken during the war. While the villagers were singing their songs as they hammered their walls, a man came and frantically told them about the good news."Everyone, everyone! King is holding a celebration in the square! We must all go and watch it! Everyone's heroes will be displayed! And the parents of those who had lost their lives will be given compensation and medals for the achievement of their

Chapter: It's OverAsty walked within the flames of the ground as she approached the lifeless corpse of her beloved. she clenched her fists upon seeing his torn body and closed her eyes as the tears streamed down from her face. There is no greater pain in the world than to lose someone you love.It is a pain that will be permanent inside your heart and will linger around for so many years. And she was not sure if she was prepared for that. Everything was so sudden, so fast, so abrupt. Did not know what to do or what to expect. The betrayal, the revelations, and then suddenly turning back the tables to prove that the ones she thought were the criminals were actually the innocent ones.She crouched on the ground and reached out to his cold body. What else can she expect? He is gone and he will never come back to her. The eclipse was an unfair event. The people viewed it as equal, but to her, it was only another cruel event.

Chapter: Unsaid Feelings"Before going back to Askavan, you must know something about the Valley of Ghouls."Ares bent down, pulling a rolled parchment from his boot. He handed it to Lei, his hand firm but strangely gentle."Arthurian lives far," he said. "But he manages the biggest archive in Wolf Territory. There must be something there you can find."Lei unraveled the map, her fingers tracing the faded ink. It was the first time she'd truly seen the scale of the Wolf Territory. It spanned nearly as vast as Askavan—untamed and nameless.Five emblems marked the parchment:A wolf’s head — the Black City, ruled by the Lycan King of the Midnight Legion.A sun’s crest — the lush Sunlit Reservoir, domain of the cunning Ares and the Helios Pack.A ravaging claw — the grim Zetalyn Grounds, the military base where Commander Aiden reigned with iron law.A whimsical tree — the Moonlit Pavilion, where the half-blood magi-wolves, the Gnosenia Magus, lived under Arthurius’ clever governance.A gold coin — the prosperous

Chapter: A Wolf in Sheep's ClothingAjax and Ares brought Lei back inside as she opened that rusty, bloodstained envelope. The two acted as her guardians, and their figures loomed behind her like a shadow, as always. With trembling fingers, she traced the wax engraving of the Auctioneer that sealed the letter and took a deep breath.“I can’t fucking believe he’s dead,” she palmed her face in distress as she held her struggle to tear up. “And to think, after all these years, I had never thought to ask about his welfare.”Ares’s palm squeezed her shoulder, “It’s not your fault, Lei—”“Of course, it was!” she could not help but blurt out as teardrops finally escaped from the crevices of her eyes. “Fuck... if only I hadn’t caused all of this... if only I didn’t kill the governor.”“There’s no point crying over spilled milk now.” Ajax firmly reminded her, tethering her to what is most important. “Open the letter, and we’ll make our move.”She finally opened the envelope, revealing a note on crumbling parchment.

Chapter: A Foreboding NewsAjax slammed Kai across the floorboards of his own ship. Blood splattered across the deck as the king crashed into the wood, groaning in pain. The crew stood frozen in place, eyes wide with fear as they dared not move. No one stepped forward. No one helped. They simply watched.“What the fuck are you all looking at?!” Kai spat, blood dripping from his mouth, his pride shredded in front of his men.Ajax loomed over him, turning his cold gaze toward the silent bannermen. “Ah,” he said mockingly, “it seems they think of you as less than a king.”“You’ll regret laying your filthy hands on me, Ajax Nyth!” Kai hissed, glaring up from the floor.Ajax shrugged with maddening calm. “Set foot in my territory again, and I’ll make sure your ships burn before they reach shore. Perhaps the sirens will be full for a year.”Kai’s eyes flicked to the water—where shadows swirled beneath the surface. Long, sinuous tails sliced through the depths like blades. Watching. Waiting.“Bastard.”Kai forced hims

I killed the governor, yes, but what have I done to you? If anything, you should be indebted to me for taking my uncle’s life!”“Indebted? A king is never indebted to anyone,” Kai replied. “Come with me, and I’ll repay everything.”Suddenly, the door behind Cataleia slammed shut, leaving her alone in the room with Kai.She rushed to the door, trying to pry it open, but it wouldn’t budge. Kai approached her slowly, his golden eyes shifting into something venomous—like those of a snake. “Do you not wish to become Askavan’s Queen, Cataleia Reiss?” He drew nearer until his breath was just inches from her cheek. “Do you not wish to become the most pow

Chapter: Cunning King“A war?! Seriously?!”Ajax continued walking in the halls while Cataleia’s small figure tailed after him. She nearly sprinted to match his big paces. “Ajax, wait!”Cataleia grabbed the alpha’s wrist, and he quickly stopped. She was startled initially, not expecting her gesture to halt him. She had thought he would have shrugged her hand away as soon as their skin touched.“A warning, woman. You ought not to touch me so suddenly, especially when we’re alone.”Fumbling, she quickly releases her light grip on his wrist.“I’m sorry, it’s just that— you’re walking so fast.

I will make my own decisions as the Lycan King.”“You have to think this through,” she implored him. “Many innocent humans will die if you wage war.”“So, you admit the Lycans will win?”“I do not admit it,” she replied with furrowed brows, disagreeing. “I simply say that many will die for a bad cause.”“You call it a bad cause because you think you won’

Chapter: Alpha and King"Ugh. What foul stench."King Kai, the ruler of humans, covered his nose with his gloved hands as his carriage passed by the streets of the Black City. The weres scowled with their bare fangs as they noticed the insignia of Askavan on the carriages."Don't make such statements," his retainer reminded him. "The weres can hear you.""I intend for them to hear," Kai shrugged. "Such a gloomy greeting. Where is their Alpha?""He is already there." Kai's eyes wandered into the entrance of the Nyth Manor— a huge fortress made of obsidian and basalt which glowed only in the moonlight. The fortress rose high into the sky like a castle."This architecture is splendid," his retainer comments out of awe. "It is much bigger than your manor before you moved into the palace, Your Majesty""The Palace is much more beautiful than this unthought structure," Kai replied out of spite."Well, let us not keep the Alpha waiting."They descended the vehicle.

I had dragged her along with me to help me escape Dreyar and Riftan! I don’t want them to see me! Not after what happened with Riftan and I."I think Lord Dreyar has gone home." She told me. "There's no sign of him around here."I look around. It's true. The guards were in their normal positions and the maid did not seem to be tasked to make food for him. Could he have gone home?"You think he has gone home?"The maid nodded, but her eyes were full of disappointment. "Maybe so. That's too bad I was not able to see his face."I chuckled at her and pinched her arm. "Nah, you don't have to see his face. What's the point anyway?""I wanna see if the man chasing you is handsome or not~"The woman nudged my shoulders repeatedly, attempting to tease me more and more.

Chapter: MercilessZEN RIFTAN"Let go me! Dammit!" The rogue shrieked in agony as the sentries pulled him for a discussion. He was tossed on the concrete floor with all of my men watching, jeering at him. Blood leaked from his clothes, his wounds torn open. His breathing became uneven when Hector and I stepped in for a view."Seems that you had fun with him, huh." I turn to Hector. He tittered and smirked at me, "Just a little, but I was worried that he wouldn't reach here alive. You didn't know how relieved I was when I opened the bag to see him gasping for air."I had invited Dreyar here to investigate the situation of these pathetic, stray rogues. I thought that the situation was well-handled by the other alphas after the conference, but it turned out that these rogues were not as 'easy' to handle.

Near the entrance, our carriage stood ready, the same navigator from before waving in acknowledgment.
