Astrella's point of view

He responded immediately. My chest ached from the intensity of Dax's kiss, which was profound and full of affection. I would make sure to take pleasure in this moment and burn it into my memory if I knew that our future was uncertain.

Without breaking the kiss, he scooped me into his arms, carrying me to the bed. His fingers worked on undressing me; his touch was both careful and possessive. While he positioned above me, he had a sneer playing over his lips.

"Well," he murmured, voice husky, "I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I guess we’ll just have to eat each other instead." He gave me a wink. I completely lost myself in him, laughing out loud and freely.

He continued to remove my top and the cover of my chest; he tossed it, and I could see in my peripheral vision that it landed in the lampshade. I'm now leaving only my thong. He seemed to be possessive, as seen by the darkening of his eyes. His fingers moved slowly and deliberately over the length of

    Astrella's point of view I woke up to the sound of my stomach grumbling, my head throbbing with a dull ache. I groaned, pressing a hand to my forehead. I hadn’t been drinking, and I’d been eating well enough to avoid headaches. Then it hit me. Fvck. I hadn’t eaten real food all day. And now, judging by the dim light filtering through the curtains, night had already fallen. Heat crept up my face as I remembered exactly what I had eaten for breakfast. We had been tangled in each other for hours, his body pressed against mine, his hands claiming me over and over again. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, my thighs instinctively pressing together. I could still feel him, his touch lingering on my skin, the ghost of his kisses trailing down my body. But reality struck fast and hard. Dax was probably gathering his men now, preparing for war. And here I was, still sprawled in bed, sore but not broken. I forced myself up, wincing moderately as I moved. The soreness betw

    Dax Donomie's point of view Astrella was gone. I told her to leave. I fvcking threw her out. She had begged me to believe her, and I had turned my back on her. I could still feel her last gaze burning into me, searing straight through my skin, down to the part of me that I tried so fvcking hard to ignore. The muscles in my jaw tightened, and my entire body became hard as I stood there motionless. Every nerve in my body was quivering, and my breath came in a nutshell erratic bursts. What the fvck just happened? And the second those words left my mouth, all I wanted to do was run after her. To grab her, hold her, bury my face in her neck, and take back everything. But I didn't. Instead, I just stood there like a goddamn idiot while she walked away from me. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the memory of her tear-streaked face, but it was fvcking burned into my skull. As I struggled against the wrath that was churning inside of me, my fists became clenched, and

    Dax Donomie's point of view “What about Astrella? Where is she?” That question hitched my breath. Instead of looking at them, I forced myself to look somewhere else and swallowed the knot that was forming in my throat. “She’s gone,” I muttered. Silvio frowned. “Gone? What do you mean gone?” Xanthe blinked rapidly, confusion twisting his face. “I made her leave.” My voice was quieter than I intended, but there was no point in taking it back. “Threw her out.” Silvio’s lips pressed into a thin line, and Fabio cursed under his breath. “What the hell, Dax?” “Damn it,” Xanthe hissed, stepping forward, his tone thick with disbelief. “Did you even think before doing that? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for her out there? Especially now?” I exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of my nose. “She’s better off away from me.” My voice was firmer this time, but the weight in my chest tightened. “If she stays, she’s in more danger than if she runs.

    Astrella's point of view When I stepped out of the building, I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. All I had with me was my phone and the Glock strapped tight against my thigh, a cold reminder that safety was just an illusion. The night swallowed me whole. No stars, no moon, just the eerie glow of distant lightning splitting the sky. A silent warning. A storm was coming. I pulled out my phone, dialing my sister’s number again. Out of reach. My chest tightened. Why the hell isn’t she picking up? A sick feeling curled in my stomach, my pulse hammering. Is there something happening to her? No. Damn. I don't claim that negative thought. The streets stretched ahead, empty. No passing cars. No late-night wanderers. Just silence. Too much silence. I stopped at the corner, gripping my phone so hard my knuckles ached. How far had I walked? I didn’t even realize I’d put t

    Dax Donomie's point of view The rain had finally stopped, and the only thing that remained in the air was the lingering smell of wet asphalt and dirt. We were en route to the old shipyard, strapped in tight inside the jeep. Silvio had the wheel, knuckles flexing against the leather, while I sat in the passenger seat, my Glock resting heavy against my thigh. Xanthe and Fabio lounged in the back, looking relaxed, but we all knew the truth, we were wired as hell, nerves stretched thin like a tripwire ready to snap. Silvio, ever the dramatic bastard, decided to cut through the silence. “Guys, if ever we lose, please let my wife know that I love her very much.” I turned my head slowly to him, eyebrows raised. “The fvck? You don’t have a wife.” Fabio didn’t even hesitate, he leaned forward and smacked the back of Silvio’s head hard enough to make him flinch. “You don’t have a fvcking wife, and we are not losing this war, idiot.” Silvio barely spared him a glance, still foc

    Third person's point of view Astrella Honey Salcedo was seated at her desk, gazing closely at the pages of her most recent novel without shifting her gaze. She had a deep appreciation for each and every word, completely submerging herself in the passion and mystery of her characters. However, at this point, she deserved a break, a time to put her thoughts in order and relax. She yawned and ignored her phone's constant buzzing; she knew that it was her best friend, Gaia. Tonight, she would leave her apartment's peace and quiet and dive right into the city's busy nightlife. The ritual of their nights out had become a cherished escape. For Astrella, it wasn’t just about taking a break from writing; the chaotic nightlife of the city served as an escape from the weight of her father's enemies. Years spent entangled in the mafia underground had left her family scarred and constantly on edge. Even though Astrella's father tried to put his history in the mafia underground behind him,

    Third person's point of view Astrella Honey Salcedo’s heart pounded in her chest as the auctioneer’s voice echoed in the vast, dimly lit hall. The room, filled with wealthy bidders and dangerous criminals, had become a tense battlefield. She had been expecting the usual roster of ruthless men and women, all eager to claim the night's prize. Her. After all, the debt her father owed to the underworld is now being repaid in flesh and blood. But what she hadn’t expected, what she could never have prepared for, was the familiar, deep voice that echoed through the crowd as the bidding reached its peak. “one hundred million,” Dax Donomie Martinelli’s voice rang out, calm and cold, unmistakable despite the years. A knot formed in Astrella's throat. It was that voice that she was familiar with. No matter how pleasant or horrible her dreams were, this voice would follow her. Yet this was no dream. The room seemed to fall silent as every head turned toward the man who had just

    Third person's point of view In the dimly lit limo, Astrella stared out the window, the city lights blurring like the chaotic thoughts racing through her mind. Each flicker seemed to echo the shadows deep within her. She was back in the clutches of Dax Donomie Martinelli, a man who now seemed more a ghost than the person she once knew. The oppressive silence in the car gnawed at her. Dax sat across from her, his posture rigid, eyes fixed ahead. At last, Astrella couldn't bear the quiet any longer. “You manipulated everything,” she said, her voice cutting through the stillness. “The auction, the debts—you pulled the strings to drag me back.” Dax didn’t flinch. His gaze remained on the road, his tone cool. “Not everything,” he replied. “You were always within reach. I didn’t need to manipulate; I just needed to wait.” Astrella's fury ignited. She lunged for the door handle, yanking it in vain as the lock clicked securely. Her nostrils flared as she slammed her fist into the seat

    Astrella's point of view For some reason, I awoke feeling surprisingly light, yet I was also burdened by discomfort that I was unable to get rid of. For the conflict. It is Dax. The uncertainty that surrounds everything. No matter what I did, I was at a loss. Nevertheless, I needed to take a shower before I could allow my thoughts to take control of me. Perhaps if I washed away the negative emotions that were sticking to my skin, it would be easier. Even if the warm water did not do much to calm my anxiety, at least it gave me a sense of refreshment. I got out of the room, wrapped myself in a towel, and made my way to the closet that was shared by Dax. I rummaged through my closet and found a sky-blue terno, a loose shirt, and shorts, which are the items of clothing that I typically wear when I am feeling comfortable at home. My fingers were running over the surface of my vanity mirror as I sat in front of it, lost in contemplation. I had been nagging Dax to get it for me, and t

    Dax Donomie's point of view When I got to the base, the staff and my men were all huddled in their corners, busy securing the place. The entire building was already on lockdown. Silvio and Fabio, along with the others, were out hunting the traitor. But damnit. Why was the breach in my room? The moment the alarm connected to my room went off, I rushed there, expecting the worst. What I didn’t expect was to find Astrella inside with the intruder. For a brief second, suspicion flickered in my mind. Could she? No. That didn’t make sense. Astrella had no reason to betray me. Her sister was already safe, and her parents? They were rotting in the dungeon. Then why the hell was she the intruder’s target? I exhaled sharply, running a frustrated hand through my hair. Was she hiding something from me? Aisssh. No. Not now. Xanthe will handle it. I have a big situation waiting for me. I moved toward one of the cubicles, slumping into a chair as I scanned the security footage. My

    Astrella's point of view "What the hell just happened?" "I don’t know. I just felt something was off. But I ignored it, thinking I was just exhausted from the shooting range. I was about to take a shower when he suddenly appeared, out of nowhere—in your closet." He grasped my wrist gently, examining the red marks left by the masked man. His expression darkened. Then, without a word, he pulled me into an embrace, exhaling deeply against my hair. His voice was shadowed with restraint. "We’ve already locked down the building. My men are hunting every last traitor." He breathed out, pressing a firm kiss to my forehead. "When I heard the alarm after the crash, I bolted straight here. Where’s Xanthe?" As we broke apart, his sharp eyes scanned my face, searching for something, maybe doubt, maybe fear. I stiffened but forced myself to regain composure in a second. I can’t let him know something’s wrong. And what was I supposed to tell him? Another lie? I was already neck-deep
