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
“See you later Gia.” I waved her goodbye as I got inside the cab. Gia was my coworker and also my best friend. We started being friends when I began working here years ago. I'm not a rich girl but I'm surviving, my father hates my guts and my sister doesn't care about me. My mum disappeared one night when I was a kid and we never heard from her again. I was on my way to meet Tommy, my ex boyfriend. I know it's weird but he has been begging me for the last 4 months to give him a chance, so I decided to go on a date with him. Tommy didn't support my idea of being celibate so he broke up with me. I remember that day vividly. That day broke me into a million pieces, and I promised myself I wouldn't let myself get hurt like that again. Even though I loathed him, I still loved him. He said that he didn't care anymore so we should meet. I arrived in front of a club. My brows knitted in confusion. “This is not a restaurant.” I muttered to myself as I looked around. Why would he
I was thrown into another dark, small room filled with some other girls. I guess we share the same fate. I still couldn't fathom what Tommy just did. No wonder why he didn't touch his drink. Is that why the security guard gave me that look when I entered? Were they all in on it. The door opened, and they threw 3 more girls inside. This is not the time to cry, I've been through worse. Most of the girls were crying, but I was thinking about possible ways to escape. The door opened again, and a woman stepped inside with a basket in her hand. She started throwing apples at us. Is she fucking serious? A woman? She's okay seeing her fellow women go through this? This is fucking inhumane. “Are you fucking serious? We are not animals. How can you even call yourself a woman while seeing us go through this?” I spat angrily at her and her eyes narrowed at me. “What the fuck did you just say?” She said while walking closer to me and slapping me on my face. The slap was so hard that I t
“We'll have her delivered once we process the payment.” The blonde woman said to him. The old man stared at me lustfully, and I felt like puking. Is he not embarrassed with himself? Am I not old enough to be his daughter or granddaughter? He is such a shameless man. The man was about to touch me when Joker suddenly stopped him midway. “You don't get to touch unless the payment process is finished.” He chuckled awkwardly. “Okay, I'll see you next week, pretty little thing.” He said with a smile, and the sides of his eyes creased. Joker held my hand and dragged me, pulling me to his office. “I heard you're feisty. You better drop it unless you want to end up like your little friends.” My eyes widened when he reminded me of what he did to the two girls. Even though I was scared, I didn't act scared at all. I wanted him to know that I wasn't intimidated by him. “Eyes down.” His deep voice rang, but I ignored. I stared at him with daggers in my eyes. “Fucking keep your eyes
“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

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
ElenaI paced back and forth in my dimly lit room, and the curtains were opened so I could feel the chilly air that would blow in from time to time. My feet sank to the thick carpet as my arms crossed tightly over my chest. I tried to suppress the growing anger that was bubbling inside me. Archer, that insufferable, arrogant, manipulative bastard. He played with my feelings, and he toyed with me. For a moment, I thought he had actually changed, that he might have seen me as a woman with value and not an object, but I was so wrong. He's so fucking nonchalant about the whole situation and is even blaming me because I decided to save his ass. I mean, if it weren't for me, he would've been hurt, or worse, dead!I brought my hand closer to my lips as I nibbled on my nails. I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head. How did I get here? I wish time would revert just so I could undo all this mess I'm in right now.I closed my eyes as memories from my old life started flooding. The diml
Archer I knew that Don was plotting something, but I never knew it could be that. Why would he just conclude on such a sensitive topic without consulting me first?Earlier on, we spoke about it, and I told him that I wasn't ready to settle down. So why did he do this? In front of everyone too.The room was silent, but my mind was anything but at peace. My mind kept on drifting to the exact moment Don announced the wedding, the scene kept on replaying in my mind like a horror movie. The voices, the applause, and even Elena’s reaction—it all became background noise to the roaring chaos in my head. Now, sitting in my dimly lit bedroom, I felt like a caged animal. Why the hell would Don do this? And why in front of all those damn people? He really wanted to put me in an uncomfortable position that I would have no choice but to accept. I was kind of having a hunch that something like this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen this soon. I ran a hand through my hair, frustr
ElenaBailey turned to face me, utterly shocked at what just happened. I, on the other hand, felt suffocated; I felt like my whole world had just crumbled down.Is he getting married to Crystal? So he decided to use me before? I can't believe this. My chest became tight as my breathing quickened. How could he do this to me?Everyone started congratulating him. I–I need to get out of here. I can't stand this humiliation. My eyes snapped to Crystal, and she had a satisfied smirk plastered on her stupid face.“Are you okay?” Bailey asked while caressing my hand.“Yeah, yeah, I'm good.” I nodded frantically. “Would you excuse me for a while?” I said while walking away, I needed to be alone. The look on Crystal’s face was driving me insane. I got out to get some fresh air while my hand trembled. Why am I getting so angry about this? I don't want to be with him, but I feel so hurt and betrayed. If he knew he would be getting married, then why did he make love to me? Did he really want t
