POV: Raphael Only a fool dares to steal from Dominic Morrell. I took a huge risk when I double-crossed him. It was just a business deal that was supposed to stop the trafficking of underage girls in the city. At that time, I thought I was doing the right thing, I was hell-bent on making this city better and I made such a stupid move that put me in such a terrible situation.You see, two years ago, when my family thought I was out of town studying to be the businessman they wanted me to be. I was actually here in this city, building my business network, and making my position known in the city. I made friends with some guys in the Mafia, and I got close to cartel rings, keeping my enemies closer like they say.I did all this to gain relevance in the city and know my way around. I made allies and friends in a few months, and I had one friend who helped me get around easily. His name was the one person I could trust, the one person who saw through my disguise before anyone else. His na
POV: Claire “Where are we going, Kyle, what do you have in mind?” I asked him as he sped along the busy road, driving so fast.“slow down, Kyle!Where are we going?” I asked him again, my eyes taking in the firm look on his face. We have been driving for over one hour and it’s beginning to look as if he doesn’t have any plans to check into a hotel or get a short-term apartment. He kept his eyes fixed on the road, ignoring me. “Slow down, Kyle!You’ll get us both killed!You can end your life if you have a death wish, but don’t fucking take me you!Slow this fucking car or pull over and let me out of here!” I scolded him furiously, earning a chuckle.“I didn’t force you to come with me, Claire. You chose to be here, you insisted on being here. So shut the fuck up and let me think!” he yelled back at me, sounding so mean and angry. “What did I do?” I thought within me. Why is he so angry with me? If he didn’t want me here, he could have just said so. Why is he being mean to me? I h
POV: Claire“Where the fuck do you think you are going?” he asked me fiercely, pushing me roughly on the wall repeatedly, trying to hurt me. “What the hell is wrong with you, What has come over you, Kyle!Stop it!You are hurting me!Stop it!” I yelled at him, but he wouldn’t let me go. He kept hitting me on the wall, making me scream in pain. The doorman and valet intervened and pushed him away from me. They pushed him so hard that he fell on his butt and yelped furiously. He was back on his feet the next second and he tried to attack them but they stood up to him and forced him to back up.“You are not going anywhere Claire, we are going to face this together because this is all your fault. I wouldn’t be in this pathetic situation if I wasn’t dating a fucking child who can not do anything without her sister. You caused this Claire, and you must fix it!” he yelled at me, pacing the walkway like a lunatic.“Are you fucking insane!” I screamed at him, shaking my head to clear my thoug
POV: Claire The more I waited, the more time passed, and the more frightened I became. I could feel my heart beating in my chest, it felt as if it would jump out of my chest any second. I clutched my chest, trying to hold my heart in. Kyle kept talking to the guys holding him, trying to bargain for his freedom. He sounded so dumb and stupid, I wonder how never saw this side of him before. Like, how the hell does he expect them to flip on their boss because of him?It’s like asking them to commit suicide for him and that is so dumb and stupid. He kept trying to bribe them with many things, he even offered them my sister's Diamond necklace, telling them about my sister's rich fiance and how he could get them more Diamonds if they helped him escape alive.“Shut the fuck up, dummy!If you think they would flip on their boss for a low life like you, then you are even more stupid than I thought. They are not like you, they don’t step on everybody’s toes and they don’t screw everyone over f
POV: Claire The moment he asked me that, my eyes involuntarily moved to the guy who had hit me and broken my lips. Before I could say that he was the one that hurt me, we all heard the sound of his gun going off and the next thing we heard was the scream of the guy I was lolling at. He had shot him in the ear, taking off one of his ears without blinking his eyes.“Nobody hurts her without my permission!She is my property and she is under my care until I decide whether I’ll keep her or not.He asked his boys to lock Kyle in the dungeon and get a room for me until he was back from a very important meeting.He took off his apron, grabbed his keys, and went out the front door, leaving me with these thugs who now hate me more than they hate Kyle.“You see,This is what I was trying to tell you all before. She is a witch and a seductress. She has a way of making you fall for her when you don’t want to. She tricks and manipulates you into thinking that you are special and that she desires
POV: Claire “Don’t you worry your pretty head about me, I have witness that would back me up when I tell him that you threw yourself at me and begged me to fuck you. It’s so easy to bitch, he would never doubt me because I’ve worked with him for almost six years now. And you?You are just the whore that came in a few hours ago. Imagine how he would feel when he finds out that you tried to play him. He will find out how cheap you are and you will face the same sentence as your boyfriend. I’ll tell him you threw yourself at me and begged me to fuck you and set you free.” He laughed. “Let’s see what punishment you will get for trying to trick the ruthless Mafia Lord, Dominic.” He told me confidently, smiling widely. The doorbell rang and some of the other guys walked in with some girls that looked like whores. He seemed familiar with the girls and he called them by names, talking dirty with them. He sat on the couch like a king with two girls on each arm caressing his abs while gi
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
