The Mafia's Wild Flower
"I've purchased you, which only means one thing; I own you. I own every bit of you, Margarette. Your body, your heart, and even your soul. You are mine. And no one can take you away from me."
Possessive, cold-hearted, and ruthless. That's Xavier Ivanov, a Russian Mafia boss or also known as the devil himself. He cares no one but himself. He kills people for money and satisfaction. He runs illegal businesses and is one of the most influential yet dangerous people in the world.
People were afraid of him. They despise his existence. He's a living Satan, and people tremble upon seeing him.
It was quite impossible to tame a devil like him. No one can tame Xavier, or so they thought.
Margarette Ferrero. She is a total opposite of him. An angel sent from above and was bound to burn an evil like himself. She is sweet, loving, yet naive.
Being purchased by a powerful mafia boss from the dark market, Margarette was supposed to fear him. However, that was the total opposite of what she felt.
Oddly, she felt safe and saved. And Xavier was beyond amused and enthralled by the naive girl.
People were afraid of him, but that is not the case with Margarette. He's her saviour, her angel, and her owner. No one owns her but him.
Two people with different personalities, different worlds, and different stories to be told. Is it possible to find love amongst the odds? Does love know no boundaries? Or was it all just an illusion?
When secrets begin unfolding themselves and then the past that was buried six feet below the ground resurface, will the love be strong enough to keep the two people together? Or will the past change what is present?

Chapter: Chapter 8I've already made up my mind. I'll leave this place. I don't think there was a reason to stay. They were all lying to me, blatantly telling me lies that were obvious. They were deceiving me.Staying became increasingly challenging, especially since my husband, the supposed anchor for my presence here, was consistently absent. Despite their claims of my marriage, their inability to provide any evidence, not even a picture from my own wedding, added to my growing sense of disillusionment.I hung around for a while, hopeful that they'd eventually come clean. Unfortunately, that never happened – not even a bit.It became disheartening and hard to trust anyone.Disappointment settled in, directed at every individual under this roof.Leaving now feels not just necessary but also freeing. Staying doesn't do anything for me anymore. The lies have unraveled, showing a truth that lines up with what I've been feeling.I waited until everyone in the mansion was sound asleep before putting my esca

Chapter: Chapter 7“Ma’am, your husband has already left,” Emma said, her tone cautious as she addressed me. These days, I wasn't in the best of moods, not because of any lingering sickness, but due to the nagging feeling that something was being kept from me. “He has left for work, and he’ll probably be back a week from now or so.” I nodded silently, then took a sip of the tea she had prepared for me. The revelation that my husband had left bothered me, but I chose not to show it. Why should I care or worry? After all, he didn’t even come to bid farewell himself, so why should I react as if I were genuinely disappointed. “Tell me, Emma,” I uttered, my tone seeking answers. “What were we like as a married couple before I lost my memories?” Caught off guard, Emma hesitated, her usually composed demeanor faltering for a moment. I closed my eyes briefly, taking a deep breath to steady myself before opening them again to face her. “I-I really didn’t know much, ma’am," she admitted, her words coming out

Chapter: Chapter 6I was back to square one. My husband appeared to be keeping something from me, and I couldn't shake that feeling.When I inquired if he was worried, he didn't respond. Instead, he abruptly left the room, seemingly ignoring my question completely. I felt bewildered and offended. Is he truly my husband? Why isn't he behaving like one?Following that incident, he didn't visit or contact me to check on my well-being. I felt disappointed.But then again, it couldn't be helped.Days passed, and the absence of my husband weighed on me. The unanswered questions and the growing void in our interactions left me grappling with a sense of isolation. I yearned for some connection, for reassurance, but he remained elusive."He hasn't visited or even checked on me. Is this how a husband should act?" I questioned, my voice tinged with a mixture of frustration and sadness.Emma, always composed, offered a reassuring smile. "People cope with difficult situations in different ways, Miss Ophelia.

Chapter: Chapter 5I took a deep breath as I followed him into his office. The man, who claimed to be my husband, seated himself at the desk with casual ease. I stood there, feeling like a fool, waiting for his next command. His expression soured when he saw me hesitating. "What are you doing?" he demanded, his jaws clenching in annoyance. I blinked, my mind still trying to process the overwhelming information he had just laid upon me. I was shocked and utterly disoriented, unable to pull myself together and act with a rational mind. I felt like a leaf, caught in the unpredictable currents of this surreal situation. "What?" he snapped. "Come here." I slowly and reluctantly walked over to his side, my thoughts still swirling with the revelations. When I was close enough, my husband extended his arms towards me. I hesitated, glancing at his outstretched arm. "I won't hurt you, okay? So come here now," he said, annoyance evident in his voice. Biting my lower lip, cheeks burning with embarrassment, I g

Their Stripper
"I want you to be our personal stripper," declared Killian, his voice deep and cold, slicing through the air and quickening her heartbeat. The intensity in their gaze made her knees weaken, a sensation hard to ignore.
Nervously, she gulped, managing to stammer, "S-Sir..."
Atlas, positioned behind her, added, "We'll pay you thrice what you earn in this club, sweetheart." His warm breath teased the back of her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
She instinctively closed her thighs, aware of their eyes lingering on her nearly naked form. The offer was undeniably tempting, almost too good to be true. Killian Knight and Atlas De Luca, both successful bachelors in the city, were her employers in which she worked as their assistant, and the unexpected sight of them in the strip club where she worked as a dancer was nothing short of a shock. What added to the surprise was the outrageous proposal they were making!
But, being the sole provider of her family, Claire find it hard to decline their offer. For her, money is everything, especially because of their family condition. Being with a sick mother and a brother battling with leukemia, Claire shouldered everything, and she in desperate to make a living.
And so, Claire found herself agreeing. Be their stripper? That’s a piece of cake for her.
Or so she thought.
Fate takes an unexpected turn for Claire when she finds herself falling for the men she promised not to get attached to. However, avoiding two drop-dead hot bachelors proves to be a challenge, especially when fate seems to favor their presence.
Becoming the personal stripper for the affluent and influential Killian Knight and Atlas De Luca, Claire finds herself entangled in a web of emotions she never anticipated...

Chapter: Chapter 5Chapter 5“So, what do you want to have, Atlas?”“You...”My face flushed instantly at his words, heat rising to my cheeks like a sudden blaze. I gaped at him, my mouth hanging open slightly, resembling a fish gasping for air out of its element. Did I hear him correctly?"What...?" I murmured, my voice barely audible, disbelief coloring every syllable.He shrugged casually, a playful grin dancing on his lips. "I mean, you choose, Ms. Claire," he clarified, his tone light. "I'd appreciate whatever you serve me, so please feel free to decide without worrying about my food preferences."Drawing in a deep breath, I managed to compose myself, though an awkward smile tugged at the corners of my lips.Atlas cleared his throat, the playful expression melting away as his demeanor returned to seriousness. He squinted slightly, his eyes narrowing in a scrutinizing gaze as he posed his question, "Why? Is there any problem with that, Ms. Claire?"I shook my head vigorously, almost too quickly. "N-N

Chapter: Chapter 4Chapter 4 It felt as though my life was a joke or in some kind of comedy. I ended up working for two handsome and wealthy men in the city, and not just that, but I’m getting paid generously. However, in return, I have to deal not only with a cold as ice man like Killian, but also a naughty and sneaky man like Atlas. How could I even handle them? One is already too much, how much more, two?!But then again, it’s a blessing in disguise. And I cannot turn down that offer no matter what.Walking inside the hospital where my brother was confined, I had a huge smile plastered on my face as I carried the bunch of food I bought from a fancy restaurant in the city. How did I get the money to afford? Well, for starters, I knew how to play my card, and I am no easy target to manipulation. As a matter of fact, I am the one who manipulate.I mean, I was able to convince my bosses that I’d get a cash advance for my salary in a month. Good thing they agreed, but at the same time, we also had the con

Worry and fear were beginning to get the best of me as I frantically searched the room he was admitted.When I spotted my mom standing outside the room, I rushed towards her and enveloped her in a tight hug. She was crying. “Hush… it’s gonna be okay,” I reassured as I rubbed her back. “Where’s Ace?”“He’s s-sleeping inside. I’m g-glad you came,” mom said, hiccupping. I wasn’t able to come earlier because I still have work, and so I waited until lunch break to come all the way to the hospital.I kissed mom’s forehead before I decided to get inside the room. and there, I saw my frail-looking brother sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed with tons of tubes attached on his small body. A tear fell on my cheeks as I made my way through his side. Just looking at him makes me weak. My sweet brother was in pain

Chapter: Chapter 2It was probably the unluckiest day of my life. I didn’t know if I should feel offended or sorry because I almost lose my job before I could even start. Sir Jonathan was a total savior, for he arrived before I could even offend the two significant men in that company.Little did I know, the room where I casually fetched water was none other than the CEO's pantry. Talk about an unconventional start to a new job, right?Well, anyway, it was already in the past, and I explained to Mr. De Luca that he only mistook me for someone and I was actually the new assistant of Mr. Knight. Fortunately, he apologized and was actually pretty sorry for what he did. That’s all I needed.Today is the actual day of my job. I decided to keep it simple and comfortable for the day, opting for a modest look. I wore a plain white round-neck shirt that offered a clean and casual vibe. The tight jeans hugged my figure, making it more advantage for me to cover most of my skin. To complete the look, I paired the

Chapter: Chapter 1The bright lights of the company's halls stretched on endlessly as I made my way through. This morning was a bummer. Mom and I had a really terrible argument that made me utterly upset. Life has been really tough these day, I know. But stripping, really? Mom suggested that, saying it pays better than my old office job.Although her excuse was it was only for dancing and entertainment, and nothing more, I still didn’t like that idea. No way, right? I'm all about keeping my dignity, even if it means living on instant noodles. So, there I was, strolling through these bland-ass corridors, still replaying the whole argument in my head. My mom's hustle-over-dignity pitch clashed hard with my principles. The office cubicles loomed like a maze, each step feeling like a protest against the compromise I was never gonna make.Stripping, huh?“God…” I couldn’t help but massage my temple. The argument I had with her earlier was one of the worse, and I ended up going to work without us being okay.

Chapter: Chapter SixThe lunch has finally come to its end. Most people were happy to hear that the alpha was expecting a new pup and is bound to remarry, but there were still a couple of people that were against it and disapproved of my mother. But the alpha shut them off and said their opinions about his love life does not matter to him nor the pack. To be honest, members were very ungrateful to their alpha. The alpha makes the pack safe and the members unharmed with more than enough resources to make a living. This big community of werewolves would've already crashed into nothingness if it weren't for the alpha. He rules the pack but he also protects it. He makes negotiations with other packs just to keep them from ruining ours. He keeps the members safe from the attacks of rouges, barbarians, hunters, and even from other races.And now the members were against the new life that the alpha deserves to have: a new family.So ungrateful.But then, as Alpha Marlon said, it doesn't matter to him.

Chapter: Chapter FourIt was painful. Excruciating even. My stomach churn painfully that I had never imagined. My chest constricted and I could hardly breath. The bond that once existed was no longer existing and it was slowly killing me. It was too painful to the point that it had gotten numb.Tears soaked my face. Everything was over between us. I ended the ties between us and the chance of me having a second chance mate is quite impossible since mating is a very sacred thing and shouldn't be taken lightly. And yet, I dare to reject it.To say I was regretting it was probably an understatement. I am regretting it. Not because I want Axcel in my life or I was scared that I might not be able to find another mate. No, no, it was actually the contrary. I was regretting it because the excruciating pain in my chest from the rejection is slowly killing me. I don't want to die yet. Not when I haven't met my younger sister or brother yet."God, dear.
