Spending A Year With The Ruthless Mafia Don
I poured out my heart to him, telling him everything and not leaving a single part out of it. "Please, Don Xander, I will be grateful if you could grant me just this one wish" I begged desperately, my voice cracking at the end, even though I tried so hard to stay strong.
He tilted his head to one side and smirked. "I can do that for you" he said, and my eyes beam with happiness immediately.
"But..." He trailed off, swirling his drink in his hand. "What do I get in return for helping you? After all, it's all about give and take"
My jaw dropped instantly. His playboy attitude playing in my head. "I... I can't... I mean, I'm sorry Don Xander but I'm not the type of girl who sleeps around with men. If it's okay with you, I can work for you instead" I suggested.
He wave his index finger, shaking his head. "No, Bella" he said in a low, husky voice. Then, he rose from his seat and walked towards to me, his movement graceful and deliberate.
I shivered, still seated as he crouched beside me. He leaned closer to my face and I tilted my head to look at him in the eyes.
"If I will help you..." he whispered, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. "You must give me something in return"
"What do you want?" I asked in a low voice.
His eyes gleamed with intensity. "I want you, Isabella" he whispered, his lips grazing my ear.
I jerked back, shocked by his request. "Don Xander!" I exclaimed, my voice trembling.

Chapter: 2ISABELLA HERNANDEZI curled up in the corner of the couch, anger and disappointment swirling inside me. The clock on the wall ticked away, reminding me of the late hour already.I just can't help it, I can't believe Lucas had to lie to me that he was in a meeting. Meanwhile, he was there with another woman, caring for her. I even had to call him several times before he could answer my calls.Or am I overreacting? Should I just confront him? Will he get angry if I tell him I saw him with another woman earlier at the hospital?- All these thoughts were still running through my mind when, suddenly, I heard the sound of the locked door, making me turn my head towards the main door and realize that he was finally home.The door creaked open, and he walked inside, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on me, sitting on the couch.His brows furrowed slightly as he asked coldly, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" His tone was detached, lacking any warmth or concern.I didn't respond, I just k

Chapter: 1ISABELLA HERNANDEZI sat in the emergency room, my palms wet with sweat. My forehead ached a little, reminding me of the pain. I closed my eyes, replaying the incident in my head.I was driving down the wet road, in a hurry to get to Lucas's office. He had asked me to deliver some important documents to his office, and I wanted it done as soon as possible.As I approached the intersection, I saw the traffic lights turn green. I sped up, thinking I could make it through before the light turned red.But then, out of nowhere, a car ran from the red light angle. I slammed on the brakes, and my car skidded on the wet road.The shrieking brake, the car skidding on the wet road, and then the accident. I just can't get the moment off my head. My husband had stressed how important those files were to him. But now, I have lost them.I rub my forehead, trying to massage away the tension whilst I pull out my phone to call my husband. I dialed his number but got no answer. I kept dialing repeatedl

Chapter: Working For My Ex?KATERINA CLERKSI stepped into the meeting room with Sebastian and Janet walking behind me. The Pack councilors all rose from their seats, their faces looking serious. Of course, it's should be. This is a trivial matter and it requires everyone to be as serious as they could. I took my seat at the head of the table, my eyes scanning the room before speaking. "Have your seats" I said, my voice firm. "I'm sure you're all aware of the incident that occurred earlier today. A rogue werewolf infiltrated our territory and killed two of our warriors. He has been interrogated but has refused to say a word. I want to know your thoughts concerning this" I said, looking at their faces. I know most of them don't want me here, as they're supporters of Sarah and Clara. I needed to be at alert. I need to know if this is their doings- especially Sarah or, there's more to this. I studied their faces, one after the other and finally, my gaze locked on Sarah but she held a straight look on her face.

Chapter: The AttackKATERINA CLERKSI don't know why but my mind just can't stay calm. I keep having this feeling that Seb is going to do something. And immediately I walked down the hallway, I saw him with his phone. He was already done talking to whoever it's on the phone but I was lucky to caught his last statement. I heard him hissing and calling someone bastard. If not Damian, then who? The only person Seb hated the most in this world is Damian. Sometimes, It feels like he was the one Damian cheated on and not me. "Who were you talking to over the phone?" I asked as I approached him, my eyes narrowing at him. He swiftly spun around, looking startled. "No one" He answered with a straight face but I wasn't convinced enough. I raised an eyebrow at him, still staring deep into his soul to make him confess the truth but he didn't bulge. "Don't give me that lie, Sebastian. I know you're hiding something from me and we both know what it is. Just tell me the truth, this is about him, right? Damian?"H

Chapter: Mixed Feelings DAMIAN BLACKI could feel my face twisting in fury as my mind wandered back to the encountered I had earlier with Katerina. Despite Clara trying to make her feel jealous about our relationship, she didn't flinch and even acted like she doesn't care. She walked past us and that triggered me more. I tried going after her when I felt Clara's hand on my arm, pulling me back. "My love, where are you going to?" She asked, her voice soft and worried. "Don't worry about me, just go inside" I growled, shaking off her hand. "I will join you in a while. I have something to take care of" "Damian, don't tell me you're trying to go and meet her again? No, I won't let you do that if that's what you're planning to do" She tried grabbing my arm again. "You don't understand the word, GO INSIDE... do you?! Just fucking do what I asked you and leave me the hell alone!" I bursted angrily at her. I felt her shivered and fear immediately etched on her face. I don't even know why I'm suddenly this upse

A case has been brought to me this morning- a man cheating on his wife and I feel so irritated and infuriated right now. "Alpha Katerina, this is your first case as our leader," Councilor Andrew said. "Please make a decision so we can know what to do." I nodded, my eyes fixed on the accused man kneeling before me before darting my eyes to the woman beside him. "If your wife cheated on you with another man, how would you feel?" I asked him, but his eyes were glued firmly to the ground without no response from him. "ANSWER ME, YOU FUCKING FOOL!!!" I burst out angrily, hitting my right palm on the table hard. "A... An... Angry, my Alpha" he replied, his voice shivering. Stupid fool! I don't know what their problem is! Why can't they just be loyal to their partners? Why do they have to cheat when they'

From the look on their faces, especially Clara and Sarah, it seemed to them like they had just seen a ghost. A few days ago, Sebastian and I shared a heartfelt conversation, and together, we mapped out a plan for my return to the Pack. His encouraging words will forever be etched in my head as my mind drifts back to the day we had the conversation.

Chapter: The Heartbreaking NewsFIVE YEARS LATER DAMIAN BLACK "Alpha," Nicholas, my second Beta said, standing before me. "What is it, Nicholas?" I asked. "Alpha, I think you should go outside for a moment," he replied. I nodded, dismissing him, and passed Clara, who was standing beside me, with a smile. I pulled out my phone and called for the maid. I had already assigned some maids to serve Clara. "Alpha, you called for me?" Stella, the head maid asked, standing before me with her head bowed. "Stella, this is Clara, my wife to be." I said, introducing Clara to her. "You and the assigned maids will attend to her needs from now on." I ordered, my tone firm. "Yes, Alpha" Stella replied, still bowing her head. Five years had passed, yet the wounds of Katerina's betrayal still lingered in my heart. I couldn't believe she was that heartless and full of competition. She left like she claimed she would, leaving no trace which I really didn't care about because I knew she'd eventually return, crawling back t
