“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 59RAYANA POV‘In today’s top stories, we have shocking developments in the ongoing investigation into the attempted assassination of the royal Archduchess Rayana Elizabeth Mountbatten, shortly after her return from the official assignment in Russia. The media descended upon her residence and office, eager to get into the depth of the story with no luck, as the archduchess has barely shown her face in public this past week. Some even suspected…’I couldn’t let her finish, I knew whatever was going to come out next was going to be a complete BS and I was so not ready!I angrily yanked the remote from where it sat and flipped through a few channels.

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 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!

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.

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.

Chapter 80ALEJANDRO POVI was hard as fuck when I climbed into the back of a black Mercedes amg cls, Lorenzo on my side while Kaito took the passenger seat. One of the soldiers was on duty to drive us around the city as we took care of businesses, but all I could think of as we slipped out of the property was how I wanted to hold my woman in my arms as I fucked her so hard she’d shatter in pieces in my hold, then scream my name before kissing me with everything she had inside of her.“Block your cock a little, boss. We will be back in no time and you will have all the time to make love to your wife.” Viper called out on a soft snicker, probably fed up with my grunting like I was some type of a dog in heat. Maybe I was. Maybe this thing I was feeling was the exact thing any other normal man felt when he remembered they had a newly wedded wife waiting for them in the bedroom of their house; and that she would welcome him with a smile and a hug when he got off work after a long tiring

Chapter 79RAYANA POVFirst bits and pieces of awarenss found me laying on my back. A soft groan slipped past my lips as I stirred on the soft surface of the mattress, my body itching to turn to the side. I did just that, my right hand searching for something, for warmth and the entity I know should have been right there when I reached out. But all I touched was coldness and nothingness that sent panic unfurling in the core of my belly. My eyes flew open to take in the foreign surroundings, and slowly, memories from last night pieced together to form a clear picture in my brain. A smile formed on my lips as my eyes once again swept around the place. The whole setting was eye catching under the dim lights… But with sun streaking across the room? It was something I have never seen before. I peeled myself from the warmth of the blankets and the bed and padded across the place. Taking in every single detail of the room which was now going to be my cradle. The accents were a mixture o

Chapter 78RAYANA POVWhen Alejandro said ‘base’ I expected something along the lines of a big space literally in the middle of nowhere, probably in the woods. Some tents, camping tents, and a whole lot of camping material. A shooting arena of course, and some of the boxing stuff I saw back at the Vetro apartments. I sure as hell not prepared for a whole estate, with what one could simply regard the buildings as apartment buildings. There were a solid five of them, stretching about five floors from the ground. But the beauty of them all, the style, everything seemed to have come straight out of the history books with their caramel tones and everything. The minute we rolled through the black iron gates, I figured we were lost, probably took a detour, or stopped somewhere to ask Aunt Betty for a pack of her homemade cookies. I did not expect a whole neighborhood, a modern, suburban neighborhood to be a base. A small “wow” slipped out of my mouth when we came to the main house. I fi

Chapter 77ALEJANDRO POVMy ears clogged on ascending. Luckily I had a little good human to keep my mind occupied. Viper had made it a deal to call us into the small office at the back of the jet, between the lounge space and the bedroom space, to fill us in with the happenstances that had occurred in my absence. Some of the things he hinted was that maybe, just maybe, we have been hunting for the traitor from the wrong huddle. His words haunted me even an hour later as I lay in the lounger with Rayana’s body on top of mine, her head snuggled in the crook of my neck and her breaths coming out in small pants. Everything about her was just so perfect. So natural. Even the way she casually touched my cheek here and there while looking into the small device in my hand, all made me believe my little notion that she was indeed the rib of my ribs!“Check this out.” I drawled in a small raspy voice. Her attention flew to the tablet in my hand. I scrolled a few before clicking onto the link

Chapter 76RAYANA POVI woke up curled into Alejandro’s side, his whole being wrapped around me like a warm comforter. I let my eyes take him in fully, let them wander on every single nook and crook of his face. I printed each detail to memory, and for the umpteenth time, I was awed by the beauty of this man. Long lashes, thick eyebrows that only models could get from terrible laser operations, lips so full and lush that the V dipped so down low. He had these beads of sweat on his forehead that I just wanted to lick with my tongue because that’s how much I loved him. When sleeping, he looked so beautiful. No angry grunts, no heavy sighs, no tiredness that weighed so heavily on him that it was all evident in his simple glance… Just peace. His scent was the soothing elixir I never knew I needed. I was never really a big fan of scents and personal odors, but Alejandro made me find out things about myself I never really knew I had in me. If it were a few months ago I would cringed at t

Chapter 75RAYANA POVAlejandro balanced me on one arm as he attempted to open the door, but I beat him to it and twisted the door hand. He pushed it open to reveal a pathway of roses and candles all around. My mouth fell open in a small gasp of surprise as my eyes took in every little detail. Somehow in a span of few hours, they had managed to turn my bedroom into a whole honeymoon suite. The entire room was filled with red and white, from roses to the white small throw on the red bed… And everything else reminded me of the time he first took me. The time he claimed me and destroyed for any other man, living or dead. My breath hitched at the memory and heat spread all over my body like wildfire.“Wow…” I breathed out softly. Alejandro simply le

Shivers rattled my bones and an unknown force slammed right into my chest, causing goosebumps to erupt all over me and sheathe my body like a second layer of skin.At some point, I almost freaked out thinking I was scared, that I was regretting all of this… But then I figured it was because everything was all too surreal. All unbelieveable. A man like me didn’t deserve this much happiness. A man like me with a closet so full of skeletons that they couldn’t be hidden anymore, deserved nothing but isolation for the rest of his life. Cause as they all love to say, people in our world were all beyond redemption. Right now, I was starting to wonder if that was even true.

Chapter 73RAYANA POVGrowing up, I always imagined that my wedding was going to be the grandest of all times. I imagined it being the most iconic, even more grand than Princess Diana’s herself. I pictured the entire country going on a national lockdown to celebrate the holy matrimony of the Archducke’s older daughter.I imagined chariots, horse carriages straight out of Disney movies, cherry blossoms littering the ground I walked on. I imagined a literal fairy tale, straight out of the books and brought to life. I pictured myself wearing a beautiful princess gown, all white, my teeth brighter than the golden rays of the sun.It probably would have been like that if my dad was still alive, or maybe if Luke was still alive and it was him I was tying the knot to. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever pictured myself being pushed down the aisle in a wheelchair by my younger brother, while my family stood at the head of the chapel watching with eyes filled with tears. At that point, I j

Chapter 72RAYANA POVAwareness came in bits and pieces. I could feel it by the slow intake of breath and the blood thrumming inside of me that I was alive. But I was not in the world where the sun rose from the east and set in the west. That one was very much evident. Where I was, everywhere I looked, everywhere my eyes landed on was nothing but pure and raw darkness. It was cold, bone-chilling and there was this eerie sensation that kept on washing over me, like cold fingers caressing my skin and making it crawl. And the funny thing was, I felt like I was floating. There was no ground beneath my feet, and my whole body was lighter than a feather. But in this darkness, nothing else existed. It was just me and the deep nothingness that had swallowed me. There was no pain, no joy, and the entire place was void of any sort of feeling.That’s when I heard it. A low murmur of voices, like I was somehow inside a closed drum and they were coming from the outside. That would fucking explai
