POV: Claire “If you make me repeat myself one more time, I’ll fucking tie you over there and let every guy in this room take their turn on you. I suggest you stop being stubborn!” he scolded me angrily, glaring at me. The girls seemed to be loving their new job, they were on me the next minute, trying to drag me over there. You won’t believe that one of them is pissed off at me because she wasn’t chosen to suck his fucking dick. Like, what the hell is wrong with these people?“Play nice and you will get rewards, keep being stubborn and you’ll get nothing but pain!” the first girl whispered to me, flicking her tongue on my cheek, making me want to gag. I stood there unmoving, while the guys jeered at me. I stood in their midst like a cheap whore, my eyes filled with tears.As the dim light of the room shined on my tear-streaked face, I forced myself to walk up to him, taking one step at a time. My body is trembling with a combination of fear and anger. My eyes kept searching for the e
POV: Dominic “Boss, we have a problem. Zhang Groups of companies are pulling out their bid to invest in your nightclub. It seems like they have been poached by our rivals and I’m suspecting that it has something to do with the Capo.” Leon told me, his voice sounding urgent and pissed. Zhang Group of Companies is a famous corporation owned by a wealthy Chinese conglomerate. Its chairman, Zhang Zhou is well known for his charities and good deeds in the city. But behind the scenes, he is an international smuggler and Cartel Lord. He is the head of the Chinese Mafia and the head of the Round Table. You see, each country has that one man who is the Cartel Lord, The Mafia lord. The round table is where all Mafia Lords sit to settle disputes and trash out our differences after fighting it out in the streets. My position at the round table is the one thing that Carlos and Raphael are unable to steal from me when they connived and stole my title and territory. “Where is he?” I asked Leon a
POV: Dominic“What are you saying, Dom?Where is Renna?You two are expecting a child?” He asked me, feigning ignorance. I shook my head and scoffed at his sorry attempt to get me to forgive him. If he thinks I would fall for this cheap trick and believe his lies, then he must be more stupid than I thought. Carlos had raped my pregnant fiancee in front of me, forcing me to watch while he does it, and allowed his boys to have their turns with her. “See this?That is your unborn child,” he had told me proudly as he pointed to the blood dripping down her thighs, proof that she had miscarried my child. He slit her neck in front of me, laughing excitedly when I screamed in pain. That moment flashed in my head as Raphael asked of her as if he had no idea what happened to her. I folded my Knuckles, grinding my teeth in rage, trying so hard not to punch him one more time. He must think that I’m dumb, I’m not buying this his amnesia crap. He knows the history Serena shared with Carlos, he kn
POV: Dominic “Why did you do it?How could you hurt me that way, I thought we were friends!I called you brother, Raphael, we fucking ate from the same bowl. What did I ever do to you? I asked him angrily, kicking him in his ribs repeatedly as I kept asking him. “I’m sorry, Dom. I’m truly sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you, I promise!” he responded with pain, his voice getting weaker.“Yes, you did! You fucking did it to hurt me, you did it on purpose and you ruined our friendship too. Sorry doesn’t cut it your apology doesn’t mean anything to me. I have thought of this moment for years, I’ve imagined putting a bullet through your skull for so long. But killing you will be too easy, Raphael. I will make you suffer and you will beg for death!” I told him fiercely, and that was a promise I intended to keep. I punched him in the face one last time causing his blood to spill all around us. Then I went to my car to pick up my signature stamp that everyone knows about. I was just opening m
POV: Dominic “I don’t know what Kyle did to you, I have no idea how much he owes you, but I can assure you that my sister is not involved in his business. Whatever he told you is a lie, he just wants to get her in trouble with you, he wants to use her for his own freedom. He’s lying, I promise,” she told me about her sister telling me about their sick mother and how she would die if nothing was done about it.“Please let her go, she is innocent. I promise I’ll do everything to keep her away from him.” She told me sadly. I felt moved by her care and love for her sister. But I couldn’t grant her request so easily. There are so many things involved in this issue that she doesn’t know about. “You have no idea what your sister got herself into, do you?Are you aware that Kyle has offered to sell her off in exchange for his freedom?” I asked her, tipping my head to the side with my eyes fixed on her.“That fucking asshole!When next I see him, I fucking punch him in the face!” she exclaim
POV: Dominic “I love Claire, Capo. It’s very difficult for me to give up my fiancee. I would love a little compensation if in going to let her go. I need some extra cash and a little compensation.” He told me the day I met him to offer him the deal. He also requested for my connection and backing to move around some territories that belong to Carlos. I smiled at his bravery to speak before me and make demands from me when he knew that he owed me so much money already. I bought all his debts and yet he doesn’t think it’s enough. I could have just killed him on the spot and no one will dare question me about it. But I simply smirked at him and agreed to all his requests without question. He made her believe that the drugs were collected on her behalf. The bag pack contained drugs worth a million dollars and I offered him half the money and a place to sell it faster to save her mother. That was the best deal ever, he gets a clean slate and she gets the money for her mom’s surgery on t
POV: Dominic “Where is my money, Claire. Did you really think you and your boyfriend could steal from me and get away with it?” I asked her sternly. She corked her brow in question, her face filled with curiosity. “I’m sorry I wasted your time when I asked you to help me out with money to save my mom. I never meant to take your kindness for granted, and I never thought my sister would get the money before me. I was in need of the money at that time, I wasn’t lying to you or trying to trick you, I promise.” She told me firmly.The room is dimly lit, casting shadows across the faces of our faces. My expression is stern and my eyes fixed on Claire as she sits before me with a look of confusion and sadness. For a few seconds I was lost in thought as I stared at her. She looks exhausted, it’s been such a long day and I’m beginning to feel sorry for her. She is too pretty to be going through this and I wish I could stop putting her through so much stress. But I can’t…It’s too late to tu
POV: ClaireMy heart beat faster as led me down the corridor. I watched the movement of his legs as he strode in front of me. He has broad shoulders and perfect body that could make a woman drool from just looking at him. I could imagine how the girls around him manage to stay this close to him and not fall for his looks. He probably has them fighting over him for his attention. I would be surprised if he doesn’t treat them like whores already. With this look, you would never believe that he is as ruthless as they claim he is. “Wait here!” he ordered firmly as we walked in through a door at the end of the hallway. He held the door open for me to go in, I was shocked to see that the room was empty, Kyle wasn’t here. The room looks arranged and neat, I don’t think anyone has slept in here for a while now. “Where the hell is he?Did you kill him already?” I asked him sternly.“If you want him dead, just say the word and I’ll fucking do it. Or better yet, why don’t you do it yourself if
POV: RaphaelIt took a few days for the girls to get back on their feet. Turns out the poison Eloise used on them is a deadly chemical that could turn them invalid for the rest of their lives if not handled properly. If they had stayed there longer for her to administer another dosage, it would have been detrimental to their health. Good thing we got to them on time, good thing we took her out before she could hurt them more than she already has, especially Victoria who is a few weeks pregnant with my child. She had no idea she was pregnant, I had no fucking idea. It was discovered during her body exam at the hospital, and I couldn’t be happier in my life. This changes everything…It doesn’t just validate our relationship; it’s going to keep every other man away from her; it will be the one reason why I will fight everyone, including my grandfather, just to keep her. I couldn’t take my eyes away from her, even when she fell asleep on the hospital bed. It’s amazing to know that a lit
POV: VictoriaSo it turns out that Eloise Kendall was still lying and playing games with us down to the last minute. After the building exploded, Raphael got up as fast as he could and ran up to me, making sure I was okay. Miguel was here the next second, and they smothered me with love and care, checking to see if I was not hurt. “Claire…My sister…Where is my sister, where is Claire?” I managed to ask in my confused state, turning around to find her. They heard me asking for her, and they turned around with me, searching for her. We spotted her in Dominic’s arms as he struggled to get her to wake up.“No! No! No! No!Claire!Wake up!Claire!” I called out to her, struggling to get up but failing miserably as usual. Raphael took one look at me, and he turned in my direction, and he knew I needed my sister. “Stay with her; keep her safe!” he told Miguel as he left my side and ran to Claire’s side, administering mouth-to-mouth while Dominic called out to her, yelling at the top of h
POV: Victoria“Move away from here; she has a bomb; she is going to kill us all!” I yelled in Carl’s direction as I saw him approaching us slowly, thinking that my Mom was not seeing him. Of course, she is seeing him through the device in her hand; she knew the moment they took off the power grid that they were here. She came up to us and smiled excitedly, clapping her hands as if it were the happiest day of her life.“The guys are here to save you. Your Prince Charming has arrived, and they came prepared to save you. Are you not excited?” She asked us, smiling so happily. I turned to Claire in fear, and she had the same look of fear on her face, too. “Let them go, Mom; they don’t have to die because of us,” I begged her.“Of course, they do. Why the hell would you ever think that they deserve to live, why would you think that?” she asked me angrily.“I have been waiting for them for so long, they are the reason why we are still here. Of course, they would get what they deserve; the
POV: Raphael“How is he?” I asked Miguel a few minutes later after he spoke to the guys he put in charge of his parents. We have been waiting for their report and for a minute there we thought that something bad has happened, we thought they were under another attack from Eloise. We were contemplating whether or not to cancel the mission tomorrow and go back to Havana to save the Myers and get them out of town before coming back to face Eloise. But the call came in just a few minutes before we made the decision to cancel the mission. Turns out that the guys are even more efficient than we thought. Immediately after Shaun came out from surgery, they moved him and the Myers out of the hospital and took them to a safe house outside the city. “You did good, guys; I’m proud of you. Where are they now? Where did you take them?” he asked the boys after confirming that they were safe. “I’m sorry boss, but we can’t disclose our location to anyone yet, not even you, Mr Myers.” They told him
POV: RaphaelWe were all awake all night, going over the plans over and over again, looking for any flaws. Dominic and I did not have any misunderstanding as we worked together, in fact, you will never know that we even had a fight before we started. Saving the girls is more important to us and that’s what we focused on.We could not walk up to the front gate together because that was where she was expecting us to follow. We flew a drone over the property, and we saw that half of her security guards were stationed at the entrance, waiting patiently for us. I’m sure that she must be expecting us to show up at her gate any moment from now. I mean, she wasn’t expecting us to back down, was she?“Get the helo ready, we leave two hours after the ground team,” I instructed Carl. We decided to split the teams into two so one team could create a diversion while the second team sneaks into the house and saves the girls. We agreed to use a helicopter to drop a few guys on the building while th
POV: Raphael“If you are here to give me attitude and make my job more difficult for me, I suggest you get the fuck out of here right now. I’m too busy to deal with your attitude, Raphael, I mean it!” He told me furiously, glaring daggers at me. It’s obvious to everyone looking that this guy is angry with me for a completely different reason. I mean, he cannot be this furious because I said I wasn’t helping, right?“I’ll do anything to save Victoria, even if it means putting up with your bullshit!” I told him, repeating my earlier response and ignoring his earlier comments about my attitude.“Are you testing my patience? Are you trying to piss me off?” he yelled at me, letting the others turn to us curiously as they wondered what was going on between us. I turned to face him and he came to stand in front of me, glaring at me as if he wanted to punch me.“If you have something to say, why don’t you say it to my fucking face, Dominic. You keep saying you have moved past my betrayal, but
POV: Raphael“Shaun, what is going on over there, Are you hurt?” Miguel asked him in a panicked tone as he got up immediately and viewed his body to see where he was shot. I’d already seen it when the nurse took his phone but I didn’t say anything because I don’t want to get him more worried and upset than he is presently. He was shot in the chest and stomach, and I could tell that he is in pain, but he is just faking it to put Miguel’s mind at ease. It would break Everyone if something bad happens to him. I know I only just met the guy today, but trust me, I would feel it too because he is such a great guy and he doesn’t deserve to die. I see him like Carl, he is loyal to a fault, just like Carl. I could see it in his eyes that he would do anything to protect the Myer’s, even putting his life at risk for them. He is still bleeding from the gunshots, the bullet has not been taken out and the bleeding has not stopped. He must have lost a lot of blood while waiting for Juliette Mye
POV: Raphael“If you had a way of getting them back all this while, why haven’t you done so yet, why are they still being held hostage, Mr perfect plans?” Dominic retorted angrily.“ It’s your perfect plans that got me into trouble with Carlos Gonzalez in the first place, remember?” He asked again, scoffing at my words. I wanted to refute his decision one more time, but he stopped me with a wave of his hand, dismissing what I had to say as if it didn’t matter. “Save it, Ralph, I don’t want to hear it!” He told me angrily, glaring at me. “Tomorrow, I’m saving the girls and bringing them home to their family and loved ones. You can keep planning and stalling for as long as you want, I don’t care. But I’ll advise you to stay the fuck out of my way before you get hurt!” he warned me, walking past me and heading back outside. He turned around when he got to the door and he turned to Miguel and said,“I'm going out there to make plans on how to save your sister and my woman. You can
POV: RaphaelI didn’t want to deal with Dominic now because I knew that he must be so furious with me for keeping him in the dark all this while. I have not been sending updates to him as he instructed. I’ve been too busy to even think about him. As expected, he was angry with me, and his tone was so rude when I called to inform him that Miguel and I were crashing at his house tonight. I thought he was just being unnecessarily angry. I mean, I know I didn’t call him to give him updates, but he should have called me to, right?When he didn’t hear from either me, Carl, or even Miguel, he should have known that something was wrong, and he should have called to find out what was happening. He knows the enemy we are facing is so cunning and evil. He should have called us to check up on us and see if we were okay. But he didn’t call either, and now he is pissed at me for nothing.I was getting ready to give him a piece of my mind, but when I set my eyes on him, I immediately felt guilt
