“Who are you?” His voice was cold and commanding. All of a sudden, I lost the ability to speak. Fuck, why am I suddenly surrounded by such dangerous men? “She's Volkov's new toy. He bought her from the Russians. I'm assuming he used our money because he bought her for 50 million dollars. I got confirmation from one of the guys.” The driver spoke. I'm guessing that the driver was never Terry's driver. This might have been a plan all along, to get him isolated and kill him. Is this how New York has always been? Or am I in a different place? “Why the fuck would he buy a whore at such a price? Fucking asshole, he just wanted to use the money.” The tall man spoke. My eyes drifted to his hands. He was wearing a black sweatshirt that hugged his body. His arms were covered in tattoos, and he looked toned. His biceps were huge. “I think the reason why she is that expensive is because she's a virgin.” Fuck, whenever I hear that, I feel like falling into a hole and never coming out.
My eyes fluttered open when I heard muffled noises. I ignored it and tried sleeping. I was thinking that I was just hearing things, but it became a bit louder. I sat up on my bed while rubbing my eyes. What is happening? Is it morning already? My eyes drifted to the clock on the wall, and it read 2:12am. It's 2 in the morning. Who could it be? Growing up, I became very active when sleeping. The littlest sounds would wake me up. After my mum disappeared, I convinced myself that she would return, but probably when I was sleeping, because on the night she disappeared, I heard her speak to me. She kissed me on the forehead, and that was it, I never saw her again. So, I trained myself to always be attentive while sleeping in case she returned. I walked closer to my door. What am I doing? Ric specifically warned me not to wander around. I might get in trouble, no. I walked back to my bed. The sounds became more and more loud. What if one of the maids is in trouble? What i
Archer My gaze travelled up and saw Hera holding the girl I brought here at gunpoint. That girl really took my temper. “Hera, let her go, i brought her here.” She shot me one last glare before releasing her, but that didn't end there, she grabbed her by the elbow and descended the stairs.She gave her a firm push, making her stagger and fall on her knees. “What the fuck Archer, why would you bring a hooker to the house, the guest house is there for a reason.” She said in an annoyed tone. Hera is my little sister, but she doesn't act like her age at all. That's because in this family we don't act weak. “You don't tell me how to run my house.” Her face twisted into a frown. “Ric, did you know about this?” He didn't answer, which made her know that he did know. Hera has never been a weak kid, and I'm glad for that because she can look after herself well. She doesn't trust anyone, so because of that she has no friends. That's because she was once betrayed, well, we were all betrayed
“What are you doing here, Crystal? You know you're not supposed to be here.”She slowly got down from the bed. She was only in her bra and pantie. Crystal was the daughter of the godfather, Don.She has been obsessed with me for a long time, so I decided to use her, but she seems to be catching feelings for me, which I hate, by the way. Her body is amazing, and she knows how to give a good head. Part of the reasons why I haven't discarded her, it's better to fuck one whore than to fuck hundreds of whores. She made her way towards me as she swayed her hips gracefully. “I know, but I miss you, and I miss him.” She pointed to my dick with a seductive smirk on her face.“You need to leave.” “Come on Archer, don't send me away, I haven't seen you or him in 3 weeks.” She said with a puppy face as she got closer to me. Her hand brushed on my dick and I let out a sigh. Her hand trailed around my abs before moving up to my neck. Her hand ruffled my hair and she tried pulling me for a kiss
Elena I felt so restless after what I saw last night. I couldn't even sleep well. It kept on replying in my mind over and over again.Archer is so wicked. He didn't even think twice before killing that maid. And he even referred to me as a thing, a thing!I'm guessing that women always threw themselves at him, so he never begged, that is why he is so proud. He's such an arrogant prick, so full of himself. A knock on the door startled me, jerking me out of my thoughts. I walked and opened it. The maid that brought me clothes was standing there with a tray of food. “Here's your food, ma'am.” She said with a smile. I opened the door wider, letting her in. “I'm Elena, just call me that.” I said to her, She only nodded and left.I went closer to the tray. It was an Italian dish. A loud sigh escaped my lips. I guess this is my life now. I shook my head vigorously. “No Elena, this is not your life, I'll fucking get out of this hell hole no matter what.” I scolded myself. How would I e
“I'm hungry, I want to get something to eat.” I said without making eye contact with him. Even though I wasn't looking at the blonde girl, I felt like she would be satisfied at how rudely he spoke to me. “Crystal what are you doing here? I told you not to come here without my permission.” He said firmly. She must be his girlfriend, but why is he talking to her like that? The girl is a bitch but that doesn't give him the right to talk to her like that. Archer doesn't value anyone at all, not even his girlfriend. “I just missed you, so I came to see you.” She said in a childish voice. Cringe. “Crystal, don't fucking get on my nerves. You can only come here if I call you. Until then don't step foot here. Get out.” He said to her harshly. What a fucking jerk, he even treats his girlfriend like a thing. Does he not have emotions? How can he be so heartless? You can't treat a woman like this. She huffed angrily and stomped away. His eyes met mine and I immediately diverted my g
I arrived inside Don's house and made my way to the meeting room. The guard in front immediately stepped away when he noticed me and opened the door for me. Almost everyone was already seated, I wasn't late, so I didn't care. I bowed my head to the Don and the Mafia boss before taking my seat. Which is on the left side of the Don. My eyes moved to Hugo, and he looked at me with an expression I couldn't read. “Well, everyone is here now, so let's start the meeting.” Don finally spoke. “Nikolai, how did the cartel business in Colombia go?”“We got a bigger share of the goods. Some of the capos wanted to play smart and smuggle some of the goods, but our men took them down. We're looking at distributing it to our buyers in Spain and Poland.” Don nodded in satisfaction. “We have a little problem in Spain though, there's a new police chief who's proving stubborn. I fear he might disrupt our business.” He added, Don's face creased a bit before relaxing. Don is in his early sixties. He
Elena I curled up on my bed as I clutched my tummy. Fuck, I feel like I'm about to explode. My toes curled as I shut my eyes. Maybe if I shut my eyes really hard the pain will go away. I suddenly heard a knock on my door. Really? Now? I got down from my bed slowly and reluctantly walked to open my door. “Ric.” I said weakly. “Archer wants you to come downstairs for dinner.” I blinked for a while, obviously taken aback by what he said. “Can I skip?” I asked with pleading eyes. I don't want to have lunch with him, why does he want me to eat with him? “No, you can't. See you in 30 minutes.” He left after that. Oh, come on. Why does he suddenly want this today? I don't have that strength to be around him right now. This is so annoying. I climbed back onto my bed in the same position I was in earlier while murmuring to myself. My eyes travelled to the clock on the wall. Damn, 25 minutes had already passed. That was fast. I weakly got up from my bed and adjusted my messy hair.
ElenaSena and I couldn't take the car all the way because we feared we'd get tracked down. The cold night air bit at my skin as Sena and I hurried through the dark alleyways, our breaths rugged and uneven. My heart pounded so hard that it drowned out the sound of our footsteps. We had finally escaped Archer’s mansion, but we weren’t safe yet. Not even close. We entered another dimly lit alley that led us to a door. She urged me to enter, and I did. We walked slowly because the way forward was very narrow and very dark. We entered a larger sitting area, but it was empty and filled with smoke, mostly from cigarettes. “Antonio!” Sena yelled, and a stout man emerged with a displeased look.He had short wavy hair with so many tattoos on his arm. He looked over at me and then at Sena. “What?” He said in an irritated, thick Italian tone while sighing. “What the fuck do you mean by that?” Woah, I immediately turned to look at Sena if it was the same Sena I knew. Did she just curse? “Cas
Archer I know why Don has called me over to his house. I don't know why he over pampers Crystal, making her believe that she can have whatever she wants. Marriage is a huge deal for crying out loud. How can you just agree to that because she's your lovely daughter? What makes her think that I'd want to settle down with someone as evil as her?I arrived inside the mansion and headed to his office. I knocked once before entering. I wish I wasn't here. Don was sitting with his face down, engrossed with the documents lying in front of him. I turned to my side, and Crystal was standing there with her hands folded on her chest. She looked at me with an expression, but I didn't have time to read and evaluate. I rolled my eyes so hard. “Take a seat, Ed.” Don said, still not making eye contact. I pulled out a chair and sat on it while tapping my forefinger on my thigh slowly. The more he delayed, the faster I tapped. It was just a matter of time before I bolted out of here because he coul
ElenaI hugged my knees as I sat on the bed quietly. Lost in thoughts. Ever since we both found out that I was pregnant, Edward has become very clingy. He's very overprotective and mostly sleeps in my room. I only get to breathe when he has work to do. I don't want to be with him, I just can't. I can't live like this, I can't be with a man like Edward. An idea suddenly struck me, and I jumped off my bed and headed straight to the kitchen. “Sena, I need your help.” I didn't wait for her response as I dragged her to my room. I closed the door behind her and pulled her closer to me.“Sena, I need your help.”“What is it, Elena? You look very tense.” She asked with a worried look.“I—I'm pregnant.” Her eyes widened in shock. “Oh my Gosh, I mean congratulations.”“Don't say that, I feel terrible,” I said as I paced around with my hand on my temple. “So what do you want to do?”“I really do not want to have Edward's child, but that doesn’t mean that I'm going to end this poor child's li
ElenaMy heart was beating so fast as I stared at the doctor in shock. I was just hoping that he would later say that he was joking. Please, please, say you're joking. I couldn't even look at Edward. How am I pregnant? Fuck, what am I going to do?How could I get pregnant with an engaged man? A dangerous mafia man at that. My plans to escape are now ruined, what if he asks me to stay and be his mistress because of the kid?How can I be with a man I've betrayed? Oh fuck, I'm doomed. What am I going to do? I don't want to abort the child either.“Thanks, Doctor, you can leave. You know the drill, if I find out that this news is circulating, I'm coming for you and your family.” He threatened the doctor. “No need to worry, sir.” The doctor said as he packed his stuff and left. I was still shocked and glued to my bed. I couldn't think straight. I felt the bed sink beside me, so I turned and saw Edward sitting down beside me.I shifted away from him. “I won't abort my baby,” I said defe
ElenaI was in the living room with Sena as she cleaned. Sena has literally become like my best friend here, so I just talk to her anytime I'm bored, and she's very sweet. “I think the Master is really warming up to you.”“That's just what you think; Edward is just using me to kill time,” I said while sighing and lying on the sofa.“Wait, what did you say?” She turned with a shocked expression. I shot her a confused look. “I said that I think he's just using me.”“No, you mentioned a name before that.”“Edward?” Her hand shot to her mouth before looking around and rushing to my side. “What is it?” I asked with a puzzled expression. “Did he tell you to call him that?” I chuckled lightly at her statement. “Why do you look so surprised? I mean, it's his name. Of course, people are going to call him that.”“No,” she sighed inwardly. “You don't get it; no one dares call him by his name; the only person who calls him that is the mafia leader and his best friend. He doesn't let anyone ca
ArcherI crouched to meet the height of the little girl who was standing in front of me. "We're here to get you out," I said, keeping my voice calm but firm. "You don’t have to be afraid." They all looked terrified, I don't know how to comfort kids, how the fuck did Elena do it so easily?I wish she was here though. Maybe she could've helped. No one moved. Ric stepped forward. "Listen, we don’t have time for this. We’re the good guys." The kids looked at each other's faces, hesitation evident in their movements. “Elena asked us to help you guys.”Their eyes lit up. “Miss Elena?” The little girl asked with so much anticipation. “Yes, she asked me to help you guys.”“Is she here with you?”“No, but she'll see you guys soon.”"Where are you taking us?" "Somewhere safe," I said. "A real orphanage. One that you'll all be cared for and safe.”She swallowed hard, then nodded. "Okay. Come on, guys,” she told the other kids, and they all stood on their feet.That was all we needed. Th
Archer 1 WEEK LATERI sat in my chair with my whisky in my hand as I stared at Savien. He stood there quietly with his hands behind him. I'm in my penthouse right now. I normally come here to take care of matters more privately. Savien had received enough treatment, and now he had recovered. I refrained from questioning him while he was unwell because I just didn't want to. “So, Savien.” I began, my tone smooth and calm as I shifted in my seat“Mind telling me what actually happened?” I asked while leaning into my chair. “Miss Elena had escorted the kids to the eatery and decided to go to the restroom; she told me to wait for her outside, so I did what she asked me to. I waited for over 3 minutes, and she wasn't coming out, so I panicked. I banged on the door and asked her if she was fine, but she didn't respond. I had no choice but to barge inside. Upon barging in, I saw a man holding her at gunpoint. I needed to save her, so I tried fighting him off, and that was when he shot
Archer My forefinger tapped on my thigh as I drove to Don's house. I haven't really gotten the time to speak to him ever since the annual ball. I didn't want to cause a scene.How could he make such a big decision without consulting me first? That is crazy. Does he think I'm some pushover?I arrived inside the mansion and headed straight to his office. I stormed into Don’s office without knocking. I stood there with my hands in my pockets as I stared at him blankly. He sat there quietly, unfazed by my intrusion and just swirled his glass of whiskey. "Edward," he said smoothly without even glancing up. "What brings you here in such a mood?" He said, acting clueless. I scoffed loudly, getting pissed about his behaviour. I slammed my hands on his desk, making the whiskey tremble in its glass. "You announced my engagement to Crystal without telling me first. Why did you do that? I already told you before that I didn't want to marry her.” Don raised an eyebrow as if I’d just complain
ElenaMy heart beat so fast as we hugged. Archer was immersed in the hug and didn't even want to let me go. He finally broke the hug, staring deeply into my eyes with so much emotion. His once icy grey eyes seemed to have melted. His thumb brushed on my cheeks, sending electric sparks throughout my body. My eyes were also fixed on his. I started studying his facial features.From his bushy eyebrows to his crooked nose to his plumb lips and his high-defined cheekbones. Archer is just a very handsome man. We didn't say anything to each other, but our eyes said a lot. I blinked slowly as I looked at him. His face came closer to mine. I wanted to move away so badly, but I felt glued to the spot. He pressed his lips lightly on mine, making my tummy twist and turn. He pulled back and stared at my lips while licking his. I suddenly felt his erection poking my stomach. We hadn't even done anything yet, and he was aroused. His breathing became heavier as he stared at me. I wish I could rea
