Chapter 55RAYANA POVI remained curled up and under a warm fleece blanket as Kaito and Alejandro paced the space in front of me while I stared blankly into space. I couldn't hear anything passed the angry raw of my blood that rushed within my veins, making me feverish. My mind was a loud incoherent mess of what ifs, chunk a mix of Italian slurs and curses; I felt like I was going crazy. The sound of something colliding with the wooden floor had me jumping out of my skin, my heart thumping uncontrollably in my chest.What if I hadn’t left in that car? What if I hadn't heard those beeps and then..."Rayana..." rough hands clutched me by my arms, bringing me back to reality. Alejandro was staring at me with black, dark, and dangerous eyes. I could see the darkness ins

Chapter 56KAITO POVThey said curiosity killed the cat. And indeed, it was true. People disappeared after poking their noses where they shouldn’t have; people died after discovering secrets that were left hidden. Some of the things were hidden for a reason; because they were lethal, apocalyptic!I wanted to tell her that. I wanted to tell her that what she wanted to know was something she would come to discover on her own, that I was in no way, shape, or form capable of answering her question or feeding her curiosity. But how could I deny her all that while she looked like she would die any second from now if I didn’t say even a single word? Forget her curiosity; any

~~~CONT~~~“About six guards climbed the ring and tied him down, one even put his boot on his head. They cuffed him, took him out of the ring and that building…“I remember Boos ringing, new recruits wanting to fight for their fellow peer; only to be silenced by gunshots. Many died that night, and that was the last time I ever saw him with my own eyes.” I paused to catch my breath, the memory causing something dark and dangerous to slither inside of my veins. He had already avenged himself and all others who were wrong in that place; yet if I could be given a chance; I would fucking go torch that place to ground, turn it into the real that is!“What happened?” Rayan

Chapter 58RAYANA POVI didn't realize I was a sobbing mess of snot and tears until that magnetic pull yanked at me from all corners of my soul."Kaito, enough. " Alejandro commanded on a roar, and I knew it right there that he had caught our conversation. I searched his face for any sign of emotion, but the fucker looked like he wore a mask, hiding all he felt and thought. His indifference made everything Kaito dished out sound like a tale. Something he read out of those documentaries you watched on tv.And there I was, my heart shattering every single second I thought of the injustice he suffered. How could people be so cruel? A 16-year-old already killing his way through the cartel just so he could see the rise of the next day?

Chapter 60ALEJANDRO POV“What is this madness of going out?” I asked, trying to be as understanding as I could possibly be. I seriously didn’t think Charlotte would come knocking here. It was clear I underestimated the lengths the two sisters could go just to see each other. The how’s of it didn’t matter, because she was here now. And it could only mean one thing; they were dead set on going out. “All we are asking for is a few hours of gallivanting around the mall. Just a few hours. I mean look at her. She is room-rotting in here.” Charlotte pleaded her case and gestured to Rayana. She looked perfectly fine to me. I am talking about a grey loungewear set that clung onto her body, accentuating her lush curves and perky tits. I

Chapter 61RAYANA POVWestfield London plus month-end frenzy was not the most ideal combo for a little getaway… Especially for the most wanted person! The mall was insanely crowded with month-end throngs, and going up and about was almost a pain in the mess. If bumping into people here and there was not crazy on its own, I just couldn’t shake off that rattling awareness of eyes following me at every turn. And no matter how long I had it, I just couldn’t get used to it. It was unnerving, and there was no way I could relax under the watchful gazes of Alejandro’s men. I would look around at some point to see if they were near, and I would see nothing! Just normal civilians going about with their lives.

Chapter 62ALEJANDRO POVMy whole body felt like a weightless piece of paper when the news reached my ears. I felt light on my feet, the blood inside of me simmering on low. I allowed the bloodlust to infest my system, let the darkness swallow my soul whole, blackening every piece of me that was left human.Calamity brewed and formed its path to my throat, the bitterness of it spreading inside my mouth. My whole body itched to destroy, to shred everything in the vicinity to pieces… It was not the fact that my girl was almost killed, twice in a week while I fumbled on straws trying to nail the one person who was after her head; or that I warned her against this crazy idea of going out there in public.

Chapter 66RAYANA POVWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was triple, obsidian orbs staring at me with so much tenderness I began to melt right there and then. The gaze of them was soft, gentle; a concoction of comfort and reliance. Alejandro’s hand traveled from the path next to my neck before threading his fingers in my hair, then smiled that lazy smile that always made me weak in the knees. He was such a beautiful man; a stark contrast to what I saw last night.Last night, I had seen him in his might, the horrible things he was capable of doing. And just thinking about it all left me on the precipice of indecision. I didn’t know whether I was to love him more or fear him.“M.m.” He grumbled

Chapter 65ALEJANDRO POVEverything beyond the skies ceased to exist. The darkness I loved and worshipped filtered through the cracks on the walls of the dungeon while the fucker continued spewing things that were only guaranteeing his death. Things along the lines of how ‘he’ was going to fuck Rayana’s corpse after they delivered it to him. Like I would ever let that happen. Not in this life or the next. Rayana was mine to tame, mine to train, mine in all shapes and forms of the word. No fucker in this world or beyond would stake a claim on her while I lived. And I was about to make it known to the rest of the wo

Chapter 64RAYANA POVI still wasn’t sure where all bravery came from, or where I got the guts to stand in front of the most dangerous man in all of the UK and call him up on his bullshit. Maybe it was from the fact that I had the devil incarnate standing guard by my side and ready to maul and maim if he so ever tried to pull any other shitty stunt, but still… I couldn’t believe I stood against the man who cooked people for a living and handed him his shit on the platter. After a little back and forth, the chef managed to convince Alejandro that his little proposal was worth taking. I wanted to believe his little act of loyalty was his patriarchal instincts kicking in, but I knew better than to delude myself into that.

Chapter 63RAYANA POVWhen the door slipped closed, the first thought that infested my mind was that I was not staying behind! Fuck everything else. The times I had been without Alejandro, something lethal always happened, something that always resulted in a near-death experience. And I would be damned. “Where are you going?” Charlotte sat up straight when I jumped out of the bed, her face puffy and tear-stained. One look at her and I knew I owed her my life. Which meant I wasn’t going to sit around here and wait to be fed with the news of why I was hunted by the Russians. I needed to hear it all with my own ears, and then decide what I was going to do about it!
