ASH THUNDER SAY WHAT?
Chapter 9"Hey, slow down, kitten, what's the rush?" He turns me round to meet his gaze.Kitten? Is this man bipolar?He see's the confusion in my eyes and that damn smirk appears on his lips once again."I didn't want to call you that in the presence of your boss. Respect and all that jazz."I nod, not understanding what he means, and continue to walk, but this man wants to chat while all I want to do is give him the damn price list and stay far away from him."So. . . did you see your sister?" His question sounds innocent enough. There's no mockery to it, unlike the last time we met.I don't stop walking, I only reply. "Yes, she came home that same night.""That's good."Anger wells up inside me and I turn round, almost running smack into him. "That's good?" I stare at him as if he just sprouted a second head. "There's nothing good about my sister getting missing and popping up whenever she likes."His b

Chapter 10Anger surges through me, hot and fast. I'm back to holding the table. If not, I might lunge at him, claw his eyes out. That would probably get me sacked though, and a harassment lawsuit as well. Instead, I try to be dignified about it. "How-""Dare me?" That what you were going to say,?" The smirk has returned on his face as he backs away from me. "I dare because I can."This cannot be happening to me right now. "I'm not for-""Sale?" He lifts a brow as he comes close to me once more. "Come, now, kitten, everyone's got a price, and that includes you. Name yours. Any amount, and it's yours." He shrugs. I'm trying. I'm really trying to keep my anger at bay but it doesn't seem to be working. Curse words dance on the tip of my tongue, waiting to be unleashed, words I've heard Clarissa use many times as well as from passerby's. "You're insane." I finally choke out."He shakes his head, that damn smirk si

Chapter 11"The Asian drug syndicate?"I cock my head as I look up from the list in my hand."The Chinese drug syndicate precisely." Lobos says.He has a list in his hand, one that's similar to the one in mine, as well as the rest of the other six."Ash, I think we've already crossed off the rest. You burnt the bridge with the Mexican drug lord some years ago." Night eyes says with a grimace."Yeah!" Koldis echoes. "And we all know the Canmora - the Italian drug syndicate- is a no-go, especially after leaving Don Cleto's daughter at the alter."I grimace, remembering the past. I was a rebellious kid, well into my twenties. Actually, they were the most rebellious times of my life. I force myself to focus on what Moro is saying."Oh, yeah, and let's not also forget Europe, Argentina, Australia. . . man, Argentina, you painted that town white, and then bathed it in red." Moro shakes his head as a faraway look enters

Chapter 12They all turn wide eyes to me, including Rip, so I shrug, affecting an air of indifference. "What? It wasn't my fault she was easy.""You savage mother fucker!" It happens within the blink of an eye. Rip vaults up and tries to knock me out, but I throw the contents of my glass in his face. As he yelps, I punch him in the gut and he doubles up. I hold onto him and he mumbles in a pain-filled voice only I can hear. "You really are a motherfucker.""And you're playing along." I whisper back as I pat his back. Out aloud, I say. "Now you be a good boy and remember no pussy is worth coming in between two men."I pat his shoulder once more and watch as he hobbles off, mumbling obscenities."Well, damn, I missed out on all that fun." Capo says. He's the only one who I never had history with. I hired him a few years back but he's proved his loyalty to me time and time again.I shrug and pour some more g

Chapter 13It's been two weeks and three days since I made a promise.The promise.That wretched promise.The promise that would see me sell my body to Ash Thunder so he could do business with Harry's cargo. Do business he had. Not one day has passed that hasn't seen him sending goods. Heavy goods that put every other goods that have ever passed through Harry's cargo to shame.So he was true to his word. He has sealed his own part of the bargain. The bargain I created in the first place. Unfortunately, I'm having cold feet. Try as much as I need to, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I would need to sleep with a man I don't have feelings for. A man who's not my boyfriend. Not just that, I can't stand Ash Thunder specifically. He's so cocky, so annoying, so rude and so. . . hot.Yes, he's definitely hot. Only a fool would say otherwise. It's in that devil may care smile of his. It's also in the way

Chapter 14Raven.A real high class bar and restaurant. They also have a live band that plays classical music every Friday. I know this because it was recently on entertainment news on TV. The downside is that it takes ages to get a table here, not unless you know someone that knows someone that knows-"Come on, Alicia, let's go." Leonard's voice drags me away from my thoughts.I look up just in time to see Clarissa and Tommy disappearing inside the building. She's definitely going to get an earful from me later, leaving me in the hands of a total stranger. I huff as I come out from the car and watch as Leonard hands the keys to the valet.It should have taken us almost thirty minutes, or we should have even been turned back. I certainly expected it. What I don't expect is for us to be immediately ushered to a table, smack in the middle of the already-filled restaurant. This guy called Leonard, definitely

Chapter 15I literally see red as I stare at the report before me.Tanya is Alicia's sister?The same girl Alicia came to Stardust to look for. The same girl that's working for me, and the very same kid who's now a drug mule. She's currently working with the other girls on the floor of Stardust, holding a drug cocktail tray for anyone who wants to buy some. Worst of it is she's wearing a skin tight dress leaving nothing to the imagination.I look back up at Moro who can't even look me in the face."What the fuck is this?" I cock my head and continue staring at him, expecting him to say something. Instead, he stays mum and stares keenly at something on the floor. Looks like whatever it is there has his undivided interest.How the fuck am I going to stop Tanya from being groped by those men?Yes, I had told the guys to stay on the look out for her incase. . . alright, when any man gets handsy, because they alw
Last Updated : 2022-12-05ASH THUNDER DATE NIGHT
Chapter 16I watch closely as Tanya throws on some clothes. There's a difference in her movement today, a certain bounce in her steps that wasn't there yesterday. She seems excited for some reason she won't let on. She came in late yesterday night, reeking of alcohol and wearing the skimpiest dress I had ever seen. I was too clouded with sleep to string coherent words together but I'm definitely going to address it now."Tanya!" I wait for her to acknowledge her name but she doesn't break in her movement. If anything, they become faster. She combs her shoulder length hair and packs it up in a ponytail.We are so different in every way imaginable. Where her hair is blonde, mine is pitch black. She's slim with a small stature, while I'm tall and hippy. I took after mother there physically, while she practically took dad's physical attributes. She's reckless and spontaneous but I'm careful and over think everyt

ASH THUNDER FOREVER
Chapter 108"Fuuuuck! Must you place this shit around my neck so tightly?" I ask Night eyes with a frown.Night Eyes rolls his eyes but doesn't say anything except to tighten the tie around my neck like a damn noose. He says I've been acting like a prissy bitch since I woke up this morning and realized it's the D-day. My six trusted men, now my groomsmen, are sitting around dressed up in white tuxedos drinking champagne while I'm sweating buckets inside this suit that's more like a straight jacket than any other thing."Will you get your feet off my precious table, Moro?" I say, tugging on my collar as I eye him from the corner of my eyes.He just smirks and continues sipping on his drink like I didn't just give him an order."Ouch, fuck! What the-? Will you take it easy? My neck's not a damn concrete, Night eyes.""Quit bitching, Ash, anyone hearing you would think you're not dying to get married to Alicia,
ASH THUNDER THE MAFIA PRINCESS
Chapter 107 The ride is fraught with tense silence and not even Ash's hand in mind does anything to alleviate the tightness in my chest and the dryness in my mouth. I'm freaking the fuck out. He keeps rubbing circles on my open palm with his thumb trying to soothe me but it's pointless. Getting to the meeting place doesn't take long because there's not much traffic. I look up at the large white building as Ash drives into the driveway and my eyes immediately home onto the bold signboard displayed on the front of the building in red capital letters that reads - THE CAMORRA. "You've gotta be kidding me!" Ash chuckles. "I told you they rule everything in Italy so don't be surprised about that." "I understand that, but they kill, and steal, and-" "Ah, ah, ah! Don't say that to anyone here, Hazel eyes, they rule everything, yes. . ." He nods. "Even the police, so hanging up a big old signboard isn't going to make it less real." My heart sinks, because what he just said is even worse
ASH THUNDER THE CAMORRA
Chapter 106 When I wake, it's still dark outside and there's no one on the bed beside me. I sit up as panic begins to claw its way inside my chest but when I hear the shower going, I know what happened last night was real and Tanya is alive. Even though I haven't gotten much sleep, I feel energized. I feel happy.We're going to have to face them tomorrow.My heart plummets when I remember Ash's words from the night before. He sat me down and told me there would be reprisals and that I needed to get prepared for whatever the five dons that run the Canmora will do. He was a bit evasive about what the reprisals were but I don't need to be a rocket scientist to know it has to do with shedding blood.I'm petrified as his words wash through me but as soon as the door to the bathroom opens, I shake it off and paste on a smile as Tanya comes back inside the room. Her blonde hair is wet and longer than I've ever see
ASH THUNDER FLESH & BLOOD
Chapter 106The ghost of Tanya doesn't float toward me as I initially thought, she walks toward me instead, smiling mischievously exactly the same way Tanya used to when she was alive. I blink repeatedly but she's still there, still smiling, and still looking at me."T.... Tanya?" I say once again, noting the tremor in my voice.Tanya's ghost smiles wider. "Hi, sis."Instead of fainting, as most women would, I let out a piercing scream loud enough to wake the dead. A hand snakes around my waist and it takes a few seconds for me to realize Ash is speaking to me.". . . relax, it's alright, please."I focus on his face as his words finally break through my consciousness. "Is. . ." I lick my dry lips. "Is her ghost still there?""I'm right here, sis." Tanya's ghost says from right behind me.This time, I'm not able to take it as the cold hands of oblivion wrap around me and enfold me in their arms.*". . . going
ASH THUNDER GHOST OF THE PAST
Chapte 105 Ever since I was kidnapped, I had slept fitfully, always keeping an eye open for when Rita and her minions would come to torment me. Not that it would stop her - no, but at least I would be somewhat ready. Now that I'm free, I feel a sense of peace steal through me as the hum of the car engine wraps around me. Soon, I few my eyes close as the movement of the car lulls me into a deep sleep. I don't know what wakes me up but the car has stopped and Ash is coming down. I blink repeatedly to remove the vestiges of sleep still clinging to my eyes and cloudy head before I come down from the car and look around. What I see in front of me gives me pause for thought. It's a plane. Ash is standing in front of it shaking a man's hand as he nods to something he's saying. He turns to me and beckons for me to come over. My legs feel a little wobbly from being cramped up in the same position for goodness knows how long but I manage to walk over without falling. Ash introduces me to the
ASH THUNDER ESCAPE FROM HELL
Chapter 104Ash carries me up the stairs and doesn't let go, even when I tell him I'm okay and can walk, still he doesn't allow my feet to touch the ground. I try to tell him that carrying me - bridal style - will only slow us down but he's not having it.He's fast on his feet, I must admit but that niggling fear is sitting pretty on my chest once again and not allowing me to breathe well. As soon as we get up the stairs and into a hallway, he slows down and looks left and right. His eyes have gone keen and sharp and I don't need to be told we're both in danger. If they see him carrying me out of here, we're both dead.At least I will be.The scorned woman will forgive Ash. . . maybe.I watch his face as he watches the surrounding before moving stealthily. I feel his muscles flex and bunch as he carries me. His strides eat up the floor as he moves toward a door at the far end. I slide my eyes from his face an
ASH THUNDER OF PRETENCE & TRUTH
Chapter 103I don't know how long I've been kept in this basement. I can't really say for certain, but what I do know is that I've been tortured with icy water that was dunked on me. I've been slapped around and beaten within an inch of my life. I've almost been raped but the scorned woman said she didn't want any of her men to touch me so I could be tight enough for all the men I would get to sleep with at the brothel I will be taken to eventually.The funny thing is, with every taunting word, every action, and every little thing I go through, I grow more hardened, more determined to live. If this is how people are reborn into criminals, then I'm going to be a living example and I'm not backing down. The scorned woman comes to see me every day expecting me to grovel and beg for freedom as well as for my life, but when she sees the blazing fire in my eyes and the determination, it only drives her around the
ASH THUNDER A SHUFFLE OF CARDS
Chapter 102"She did WHAT?" My voice screeches on the last word and it's all I can do not to throw a hissy fit.Fuuuuuck!"I warned her! I told her about the danger of leaving this house. Does she even know what will happen to her if Dominatrix gets her hands on her?"Clarissa is practically wilting at my outburst. I know I shouldn't take it out on her but it was her responsibility to try to keep Hazel eyes here at home, where she belongs."Tell me once again what happened and don't even leave anything out." I sit on the bed and listen as Clarissa stammers her way through."We. . . I m. . . m. . . mean she-"Someone bursts into the room without knocking and I don't need a crystal ball to let me know it's Night Eyes. He must have been informed by Hilda about my roaring 'cause that's all I've been doing ever since I came home an hour ago. It's fucking two in the morning and Hazel eyes isn't at home. I had to he
ASH THUNDER CONSEQUENCES
Chapter 101It takes me a few seconds to realize I'm swaying - not like a pendulum - but it's a movement not caused by me.It takes me another few seconds to realize I'm unable to move my limbs- what the fuck?It takes me yet another minute to notice everywhere is dark and that I'm blindfolded. That's when the stark realization hits me in the chest -Not again. . .I've been kidnapped.I begin to thrash against the bindings holding my hands hostage at my back and those at my legs. My only joy is that my mouth is not bound, so I open it and scream, but even that is fleeting when I feel the solid nudge of something against my temple.It's a gun. It has to be a gun."One more word out of your pretty mouth and I'll pump lead into your head. Nod if you understand me."I nod immediately and a small sense of relief flits through me when the weight of the gun against my head is removed. I close my eyes, even though I'v
