Chapter 1

Why does life always have to be so cruel? I never thought my life would end like this. I am drowning in my thoughts, awaiting death, which is yet to come. My luck is down.

Being the only daughter of some runaway parents, I had to fend for myself as well as my elderly grandma, who I lived with. That was fair enough to deal with, not until some random men with guns I've never come across came crashing through the front door, roaring about the debt my runaway father owed them. Not likee I cared about reimbursing it, but I was left with no choice when I heard the geezer had used my grandmother's house as collateral for payment, and failure to repay the money would result in our homelessness.

"Sasha, it's your shift. Those men are hungry." I finally remembered the work I had acquired. A modest girl like me working as a waitress in a strip club was a joke.

The never-ending gazes of men hungry for sexy women to have a one-night stand with were one of my biggest problems, and it wasn't going to end well if I stayed any longer. It was torture to walk past them every single day with their tongues sticking out like they hadn't drank for months.

"Damn, that curve is giving me butterflies," I heard

as I walked past Dave Mariel. Crooked up as he looks, he was the proper definition of a king with no throne, basically a vagabond. His position as the son of the ruler of San Francisco—the next ruler, I suppose—paved the way for him to get his hands dirty without being caught by the law.

Not in the mood for trouble, I walked past him cautiously to prevent his hands from touching me. Other girls in the club would die for this kind of opportunity, but I wasn't the type to go for such a menace.

"Can I take your order?" I ask, trying to be friendly to keep my job. I stared at the two men, whose eyes kept gazing at me.

"Is there a you on the menu?" His notorious eyes landed on mine, waiting for my reaction.

"I am not for sale; sorry about that." The man beside him didn't bother to glance at me. A quite amusing young man, I'd say.

My shift was over in a jiffy, or, as I'd like to call it, a fast day. I lay back on the sofa with no one in the room, my legs hurting along with my wrist. I heaved a sigh of relief as I took off my heels; they were so tight, you'd think they were detaining a monster. Finally, a little peace and quiet.

"I see you accepted my offer," a masculine voice sent me on my feet. It was the creature I hated with all my heart.

"What do you want from me? Which offer are you talking about?" I stepped back as he slowly came towards me. My heart is racing with apprehension.

"Come on, you know what I want." His tongue came out, licking his lips like he was savoring something special. "I don't have any clues." Speechless, he waves his hand. Three men followed suit, grabbing my legs and arm, preventing me from moving any further.

"Since you don't want me, I want you. Why don't I take what I want, and you also take what you want?".

"Don't think I need that piece of paper you hold with solid praise," I spat, throwing two of his men onto him in an attempt to escape. I ran to the door with my heart beating faster than ever; this was my chance to escape, and I wasn't going to lose it. His men chased after me, but I was faster, throwing my heels to stop them from engaging any further.

I took off with the keys, locking Dave and his men inside the room. I took to my heels, rushing out of the club, not minding the glares and stares that landed on my body. The exit was close, my only hope of survival. "Stop that lady." It wasn't going to be easy losing someone of their caliber. My pace increased, and my legs stealthily took their course to the parking lot. "Search everywhere; this is my chance to get her. Don't throw it away", Dave clung to his fellas as they searched every look and craning of the parking lot.

This wasn't what I dreamed of. I've always lost things; my parents were the first thing I lost, and now they are coming for my pride as a woman. I couldn't lose this, even if it meant death. "I've found her; she's beside the black range." I have to run; I have to survive this crisis; I have to do anything to save myself from the hands of these bullies.

They were everywhere, surrounded by the uneasy looks they gave me. It was a shouldd they were onto me ever since they came to the club. I should have noticed; I should have skipped work. I resent myself for falling into such a trap.

Right before my eyes, he grabbed my neck, choking me with one grasp. I held his arm, trying to ease the strength in his arm, but it was futile, just as I thought. He pushed me, hitting my back on the wall. I groan, wishing for a Savior, even when I know no one cares about me. It was a thing I had with the likes of people. I raised my voice, screaming for help.

His hands moved to my shirt, ripping it with a pull. I covered myself with my arms, but he was too strong, throwing my arms away as he reached for my blouse. Someone help me; I can't lose my pride as a lady. As his hands grazed my blouse, we heard a grunt behind us. He wasn't bothered, but he looked back after several grunts coming from behind.

"Leave her alone; she's mine."

Just let the man help you. I don't think he's a bad guy. You need to have those bills anyway. How else do you want to get the funds?

"Leave her alone; she's mine." The voice echoed, causing Dave to flinch a little. I looked up to see my savior, the man who came running to save a mere waitress in a strip club from the hands of Dave Mariel. My eyes fell on his muscular body, which beamed out from beneath the black T-shirt he was wearing. "No one can save her from my grasp." Dave wasn't willing to give up, and I was too shocked to lift a finger. With a single move of his fist, Dave came crashing to the floor with blood oozing from his noserils. "Are you okay?" he asked. There I saw it—his brown eyes, which had a gentle spark that gave him a handsome look. His broad chest, which any lady would crave, and his muscular arms, which would definitely be comfortable to sleep in, His only flaw was the look on his face, which was so scary.I gazed into his eyes as he offered me his hand. I wasn't going to take it; all men are the same: perverted, derailed, and lustful. He moved closer, lifting me off the ground and carrying

I wondered what type of person Valentino was. Judging from his workers’ behavior, they all feared him, and no one dared go close to him except his assistant, Eddie. Eddie is quite courageous, being the personal assistant of a monster, as I've heard."Mam, you need to be careful around the boss." A woman dressed in white entered the room with a cup of wine on a tray. She is in a moderate dress; she is the leader of the maids, I suspect. She dropped the tray on the side table before sitting down. on the bed with me. Not like I cared about that sort of thing."So when do you plan on doing this?" I looked at the woman with anxiety written all over her face. What am I planning on doing? She turned back to continue giving me the cold shoulder."The boss is a very strict and delicate man; not even I could get half as close as that to him. Please teach me your ways; I will do anything." Now I am confused. The boss is strict and has a cute and scary face, but what am I to say to this woman wh

He grabbed my blouse, almost tugging it out of place. With a smirk, he left me, going back to his seat. I stole a glance at him in dismay. He wasn't who I thought he would be; he was the same as every single man on this earth. "Next time someone touches you, make sure you check your body," body," he taunted, throwing a black metallic material toward me. I looked up to see him blowing his hair back into place with his mouth like a child. It is such a devastating act to remove a piece of metal."You could have just told me; I would have removed it myself," I exclaim, looking at the metal on the floor. He moved close to me once again, taking the metal and breaking it into pieces right before my eyes. He was like a superhuman or something. "This piece of metal is a tracking device; he was going to have you for himself forever, and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it," he retorts, standing up to take his leave. "Thank you,"I heard myself say as he walked out of the room. Stil

What am I kidding? Valentino wasn't going to rescue me after I escaped from the penthouse. I was all alone, left to face the agony I had pulled closer without knowing. I couldn't say a damn thing anymore; Dave had predicted this incident quite well.Tears escaped my eyes as the men came closer, ready to plunge their devastation on me for making them go through a lot. I kept on screaming, but they didn't shut me up. "This place is known as the alley of crimes. Any crime committed here would die here. You're all alone now, pretty girl." I felt something hard hit me on the neck, making me lose focus on my surroundings. My eyes were defaulting, closing with every accommodation I made."Some people don't learn until they are faced with circumstances that change their lives," his domineering yet attracting voice reached out to me as he walked into the alley."Don't think you can save her all by yourself; we aren't the typical goons you face on a daily basis." Upon hearing his name, I lifte

CHAPTER 6
Sasha's POVWhat have I gotten myself into? I stood mouth opened agape not knowing what to say or what to choose.“Why are you doing all this?” I screamed at his face, not knowing what choice to make.I stood there, tears trickling down my face thinking beyond myself and about my grandmother. How she'd done everything under the sun to keep me safe and give me the love I never had from my deadbeat parents.“I'll choose my family, Valentino,” I said looking him straight in the eyes.Grabbing the briefcase, I asked for one more thing, a smirk forming around my lips. This was my chance to pay off the debt of my old geezer and give my granny a good life.“Promise me one thing.”“What exactly do you want?” He said, emotions missing from his gaze.“You've got some guts, I'm here taking away your problems and you're still emboldened to make a counter-ask?” He questioned, his right hand raised with a loud clap.In the blink of an eye, four hefty men came into the room.“Take her away.

Sasha’s POV“You'll have to take the hit yourself,” he said to me, an awkward laughter bursting out of his mouth “I thought you asked me if I wanted her in a….”“I know, I asked, but you'll have to carry it out,” he said.What have I gotten myself into, just a few months ago, I was trying to put my life together, almost had my feminine pride been taken from me, and now here I am asked to order someone's death.This isn't the life I had hoped for growing up. I know I lacked the love I deserved coming up from deep poverty and life from the projects. Maybe this is my destiny to end up in the worst of ways, or is this a chance to turn my luck around and rewrite my story one step at a time?“No! I'm no killer, I didn't mean to say that, Valentino.”A laugh broke through the room and there he looked at me deeply into my eyes saying, “Baby, don't you know what you asked is no small feat?”“Belinda is the daughter of the rulers of the underworld, her family are my biggest rivals and the caus

Valentino's POV“Take him inside,” I yelled as I pulled up from my Bugatti Chiron, maintaining maximum steeze.After all these years, I still had to put up with all these. Who told these men they could switch up on me? I paid my dues in blood and sweat and I wouldn't give anyone the chance to toy with me. And this fool chose to be a bad example. Well, I am a good teacher. Today, I will show him what I am made of, and if he lives to tell of it, he will tell it even to his great-grandkids.“He's the one who tried to take that arms deal from us from the Kazakhstan government,” Jared said, head bowed in respect.“This fool made me leave the comfort of my home, I left my wife for this?” I said turning to JaredI looked at the man who was kneeling before me, he was one of those who I had raised out of dirt shit. And here's how he chose to pay me back. I had brought him from the slums I once dwelt in when my family forsook me and left me for dead. I promised when I was made, I would help tho

Sasha’s POV"Hey! Stop…Ple... Please... St... Stop!" I yelled at the top of my voice, waking up in fear, which was visible in my sleepy eyes.I gulped down the saliva, took in a deep breath, and wiped off the sweat that washed over my head quickly with the back of my palm.I was dreaming about the incident that led me here. Although it's been six months, I still can't get over the horrible experience Dave and his men caused me.I heard my phone ring and I pulled myself through the bed sheet, raised my hands, and made a quick stretch.I took the phone, which was on the table, and saw no name on the caller ID on my phone's screen. I sat upright, calming myself from my nightmare, and answered the caller."Hi, who am I on to?” Sasha called out over the phone."Hello, Sasha... Get away from that place, your life is in danger." The stranger's voice echoed in my head before ending the call abruptly."Who are you and how did she get this number?" I queried, with concern welling within me.Sin

Chapter 10
Sasha’s POVBefore she finished her words the door opened and I hoped that what we had said didn't get to him.Valentino walked into the room and met a silence, where a drop of a needle could be heard audibly. We were star-struck and mute at the same time. Rose adjusted her clothes and began cleaning my room with the towel on her hands. I had to signal her with a wink to my right eye to stop that. I'd learned from my “husband” and was now communicating through secret codes too.“Look who I have here with me. What are you two ladies up to,” he asked.I glanced at Rose and turned back to Alexandro. Thinking of what to say to him. I hastily put together a sweet lie that would fit after all.“Valentino, I asked her to help me with directions to Casino Royale,” I said knowing it would pique his interest because I overheard him speaking about getting there for a game earlier in the week.“Oh! I see. My darling Sasha now has her eyes on the boards. Hmm, do you know what I'm thinking,” Valen
