Damien's P.O.VWas she this intriguing, or was I playing right into her charm? Well, I guess I just found my new hobby. Watching her.The moment she was done showering, she walked out. My eyes slowly trailed her body, her small-sized boobs caught my eyes, was it as soft as it looked? I zoomed in on her, pink nipples coming to sight. "Fuck!" I cussed. I just released moment ago, but I could feel myself getting turned on by the sight of it. I imagined my hands on it and how it would taste good in my mouth. I bet her ass could fit in my palm. It bounced as she walked around to get dressed. I made a mental note to change her wardrobe, I wasn't going to let her walk around with those cheap particles Ann had gotten for her. I watched the whole process, from applying lotion to sorting out what to wear. When she was done she looked around her room frowning as she got on the bed. She furiously kicked her legs in the air in defeat. I could tell she was picturing me and I was at the receivi
Is she kidding me right now?I looked up the stairs and saw her sitting halfway on the bare floor, hugging her knees as she cried her eyes out. I stopped on my tracks, realizing I must have been too mean.Were my words too harsh that she broke down??I rubbed the bridge of my nose, watching her brawl eyes out. I've heard her cry, but not like this. This felt like I pushed her to the limits with my words and she was finally letting it out, finally venting her frustration through tears. I stared, deeply rooted to the spot, with no idea on what to do. I've never comforted anyone before and I had zero idea how it was done."Tracey, get down here, now." I called out, and the moment the words rolled out my tongue, I bit myself in anger.She was already broken, a hardened tone like this would only make it worse. Forcing her feet to move, she walked towards me and began screaming, hitting me repeatedly with her fist. It didn't hurt so I let her continue. I let her vent her frustration on m
Tracey's P.O.VI slowly opened my eyes, adjusting it to the blurry environment. I was back in my room. Well... Not really my room, the new room Damien had moved me to after the doctor informed him about my act being fake. It took a moment for me to recollect everything that happened. Damien had brought out his gun to kill me; he would have if I hadn't faked losing consciousness. I sighed softly with no idea if someone was in the room with me. I didn't want to risk alerting them that I was awake. What if Damien’s still here?What if he’s waiting for me to wake up so he can finish the job?What if he actually kills me this time?I shook the thoughts away. If he killed me, he’d lose both his leverage and the money he thought he could get. My thoughts drifted to my little sister, Rosie, and a wave of worry washed over me.If Dad had gone into hiding, where was Rosie and who the hell was looking after her?To think a month ago, I was praying for some excitement in my life and then this
Damien's P.O.VI watched and listened to her pour out her heart in anger. I didn't miss the way her eyes clouded with hate as she spoke.The moment tears streaked down her eyes, I turned my face away. This was the second time today she was crying and each time, I felt this uneasiness creep in my chest. I wasn’t sure if what I felt was guilt or annoyance, but one thing was clear, she truly had no idea about her father's whereabouts. I made an attempt to speak, but, she buried her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.What the hell was I going to do with her?Williams, her father didn't just owe me a huge amount of money, I found out he also made away with something so important, a file. A single document I could not afford to get into the wrong hands.That file getting into the hands of my enemies, was same as having a death wish. It would mean my rivals having leverage over me, allowing them to take control of my empire. I didn't want that. My Mafia clan wasn't just an inheri
Damien's P.O.VI shut my eyes, zoning out the moment he said 'We let him go'Fuck! Williams had the guts to play me, my men, and even his fucking daughter. Now, I had to expand my search outside the city where I had no control.That bastard knew exactly how to make my life hell.I yanked open the safe, pulling out the documents I’d collected over the years. The sources included routes above and beyond the dorm.I placed my map pointer on the possible location I suspected. Williams must be heading towards Rome or Milan. Rome was more populated, an easy hideout for a criminal like him, but, if I or any of my guys were to go after him, our presence could easily be detected. Maybe, I should try talking with Don, someone who had control over Rome but what if Williams wasn't there?What if he headed to Milan which on the other hand was Diego Reynolds' territory. Deigo was not someone I wanted to deal with. We were never in a good book. We have been in a long-term rivalry. Diego and I had
Tracey's P.O.V I was breathing heavily by the time I finished crying, with dry tears lined down my puffy eyes. Damien hadn't said a word, there was not even a sign of remorse in him, Instead, he just stared at me with those damn cold eyes of his before wheeling himself out. Blackheart! I grunted silently throwing the pillow over the ground in frustration. I buried my head in my palm and let out a deep shaky breath. I didn't care if he believed me or not, all I wanted was to let whatever I had said out of my system, and now, I was left with a question that kept bugging me. What now?? What was Damien going to do to me now, especially after finding out I had absolutely no idea where my dad was, and why was he so hellbent on getting my dad? All of a sudden, it felt suspicious, way beyond the recovery of his loan payment. Damien never asked about my dad until I blurted it out earlier today....and now, he was acting obsessed about getting him back. I tried placing all the puzzles
Damien's P.O.V"This is the time for you to run... "His eyes went wild "shit." He cussed, sprinting out immediately. I chuckled as I watched Ryan run out of the room like a scared little cat. Of course, he was, just like his Father.The thought of his father clouded my mind and my smile faded into a cold stare. This wasn't a time to relieve bad memories.I pushed him out of my thoughts, grabbing my laptop and discarding the map. I had to contact Skylor and relay the recent update. We needed to also draft a good plan that could get Williams out of hiding.I took out my phone and dialed his contact immediately. "Second time you're calling today, aww, I'm touched, should I start planning our wedding or something?" His cocky tone sounded across the phone and I rolled my eyes. Skylo was never a serious one....unless when he meant business."Get out of your head, Skylor, You should know I only call because it's business related. " I stated bluntly, scrolling past the web for anything I
Tracey’s P.O.V“What the hell was that for?” I screamed weakly, glaring at Ann as I tried to squeeze the cold liquid out of my soaked hair and clothes. I could hear the echo of my shaky voice bounce through the room as I spoke.I didn't know what I had done for Ann to do such to me, but, It was unwarranted of her. My body was still weak from the electric shock and now, I was trembling from the chills of the water too.Ann was just standing there with her smirk widening “What was that for?" She chuckled, repeating my exact words in a mocking tone, "Oh, dear Tracey, you should be thanking me. I just saved your sorry little life.” She said and tilted her head forward, to give me an innocent look. “You looked so peaceful on the floor, I almost left you there.”I clenched my fists, trying to keep my anger in check. Ryan told me I wouldn't be seeing much of Ann around, because, Damien had given her a month off her duties. So I was kinda worried about why she was back?? And worse in my r
TRACEY'S POVI couldn't believe Damien stand there like a fool, but my body refused to move."You heard me," Damien said, his voice calm, controlled.That was the scariest part. He wasn’t yelling or showing he was angry. He was just seated calmly like a predator amused by his prey's hesitation."I—I can't," I finally managed to whisper, my legs tightly clutched like this was the first time he was seeing me naked."You can. And you will." His voice coldluy commanded and I shook my head, my breath shaky. "Damien, please, don't do this."His fingers twitched against the armrest of his wheelchair. “What did you just call me??“I bite my lips hard enough till I could feel the tingling sensation of blood in it."What did I say about calling me by my name?" He asked again I find myself muttering low apology."Say it," he demanded.I swallowed hard. "I'm sorry master…" The word burned on my tongue."Good girl," he murmured, leaning back slightly. "Now, I believe I gave you an order."He remin
TRACEY’S POV I was so fucked and still standing there, lost and unable to take my gaze off him… “What the hell were you doing snooping around my door?” His sharp voice devoid of any warmth rang out as he slammed his hand against the wooden desk, making me jerk. “I—I wasn’t—” I stammered, my throat suddenly dry and unable to form the right words. “Speak the fuck up before I put a bullet in your fucking skull,” he threatened.I swallowed, my mind racing. Lying was pointless. He already knew.“I-I only heard something about some document… Rafael… and...and…” I hesitated, knowing this was the part that would really piss him off.“and?" “…My father.” I admitted.The second I mentioned my father, I noticed Damien's entire body went stiff. His fingers twitched, gripping the edge of the desk in anger as he tried to control his breath.He was hella mad. My mention of my dad made him mad and I didn’t know why.what the hell has dad done this time to make Damien this pissed?I sighed, brax
Tracey’s P.O.VThe night air was cold against my skin as I leaned against the open window of my room, staring out at the world beyond these walls. A world that felt so close, yet completely out of reach.I let out a slow breath, my fingers tightening around the cold metal as I tried to find some form of peace in the quiet. But peace was a luxury I didn’t have. Not here. Not in this life.Skylo’s words still lingered in my mind.He talked about going back to college earlier—an idea that felt like a fantasy, something too good to be real. But God, I wanted it. I wanted to be normal again. I wanted to walk into a classroom, sit in a lecture hall, worry about exams and assignments instead of being a captive in this damn place.I badly wanted my freedom backBut Damien would never let that happen. His face earlier when he stopped me on track was enough to let me know I’d stay trapped in this world forever.But then, a bit of me wanted to badly believe Skylo.I knew how much I hated him a
Skylo’s P.O.V This whole damn search for Damien had been insane, and I was fucking close to losing my goddamn mind at this point. I and the rest of men had scoured every inch of the city, from the shadiest hideouts to the underground stations. We’d checked every possible location the boss could be—Raphael’s house, the warehouse, the safehouses, even his personal penthouse, but there was still no clue not trace of him. Nothing. And the worst part? His phone was still ringing, which should’ve been a relief, if he wasn't ignoring my damn calls. Boss would never ignore my call. Not unless he was dead or pulling some reckless, stupid shit. And knowing him, it was always the latter. I ground my teeth, my fingers twitching at my sides as I stood in the middle of the bustling streets, totally confused. Something wasn't right, something was really fucking wrong. I ran a hand through my hair, inhaling sharply, about to bark out orders to the men still stationed across the city when—
TRACEY'S P.O.VThe whole house felt so suffocating and my thoughts clouded I needed to have a break from thinking too hard so, I stepped out to get a breathe of air.But, I was caught in place, unable to tear my eyes away from the man standing in the doorway.Damien.Looking exactly the same as he did before he left.Same dark clothes, same sharp, unreadable expression. He had the same aura of dominance. He hadn’t changed at all, and yet, something about him felt… different. Like a storm brewing just beneath the surface, waiting to be unleashed.I didn’t know how long we stood there, staring at each other. It could have been seconds, maybe even minutes, but time didn’t feel real in that moment. It was just me and him, locked in a silent battle, neither of us willing to look away first. My chest tightened, my mind screaming at me to move, to speak, to do anything other than just stand there like an idiot, drowning in the weight of his gaze.Then, finally, he looked away.And just l
TRACEY'S P.O.V"Ann, you're back." I watched as Camillé voice rang out, her tone filled with delight as she walked towards Ann with a smile I couldn't help but stand, stunned by the sight of warm pleasantary between both of them.It didn’t make sense seeing Ann and Camillé act like they were friends yet, here they were, embracing like long-lost sisters.Something about it felt… off.Ann laughed softly as Camillé reached her, her voice as smooth as ever. “Missed me, Madame?” She greeted.Ann could actually accord respect too???“You have no idea,” she said, eyes flicking toward me with coldness for a second before returning back to Ann. “Things just aren’t the same without you. There's alot of bad luck around” Camillé grinned, enveloping her into a warm hug, her arm around her shoulder.I didn’t like the way she said it. I knew damn well she was referring to me.Ann locked eyes with me. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. “Oh, I can imagine the hell you must have been through,
TRACEY’S P.O.V“Boss… Boss?” The frantic voice coming from the hallway, pulled me out of my thoughts. My brows furrowed as I stepped out of my room at the same time Camille did.The commotion downstairs was impossible to ignore.“What the hell is going on?” Camille muttered, tightening the robe around her slim frame.Before I could answer, a loud bang rang through the house. The sharp sound of a door slamming shut—then open again. And again.We both turned towards the staircase, watching as Skylo stormed through the hallway like a madman, slamming doors open and shut, his face twisted with frustration.“What’s his problem now?” Camillé huffed as she hurried down the stairs, and I followed at a slower pace, keeping my distance.There was something different about his movements—something wild, desperate.“Skylo,” Camille called, placing a hand on his arm. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” he bit out, shrugging her off.Camille rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. You can't say nothing when you're ac
DAMIEN'S P.O.VI clenched my fists. “What the fuck is this?” My voice was cold, flat.Rafael shrugged. “A gift. Thought you’d appreciate it.”A gift? i scoffed. My fucking trigger finger twitched. This wasn’t a goddamn gift—it was a fucking statement. A way into getting me play his fucking game .“Where’s my documents, you bastard?” I demanded, my patience short as I turned to the Williams who had his head down.Williams head snapped up, eyes wide with terror. “I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about!” I could hear his voice cracking from fear.Just as he should. He should be damn afraid because one thing was certain— he was going to meet his fucking creator tonight.But, not until I got him talking.I exhaled slowly, standing up from my wheel in anger.“Finally decided to get on your feet.“ I hear Rafael scoff, but I simply ignore. I had no time for his silly antics.I took a step closer, towering over Williams who was held in place by one of Rafael's men. “Where’s my damn f
DAMIEN’S P.O.VThe fucking car was speeding through the city, but I was in no mood to appreciate his great driving skills.My patience was wearing thin, and my suspicion was growing worse.With every damn second that passed, I find myself turning to look at the man calmly beside me, with a hand on his damn wheels.I couldn't tell if it was the way he was relaxed or the way he acted oblivious to my presence that got on my nerves.But, one thing I knew was men like him? The relaxed ones? The ones who smirked like they were in control of everything and could predict every damn move before you even thought of making it? Yeah. Those were the ones to fucking watch out for. They were dangerous in a way that most people didn’t realize until it was too damn late.I wasn’t about to let that happen.I kept my breathing even, my body still, but my mind was running through every potential fucking setup that could be waiting for me at the end of this damn ride.My fingers twitched against my thi
