Last Updated:
2024-11-25 05:10:44Victor fall on to his knees beside Olivia, his hands shaking as he pressed against her wound. Blood leaked through his fingers, warm and sticky, a reminder of how close he had come to losing her.
“Stay with me, Olivia,” he said with his voice cracking with urgency. “You’re not going anywhere!”
Her lips moved, but no sound came out. Her eyes trembled shut, and panic goes through Victor like a wave.
“Damn it!” he roared; his voice echoed room. Turning to his guards who had just entered, he barked, “Secure the area and call the doctor! NOW!”
One of the guards nodded and ran off, while the others formed a protective circle around their boss.
As Olivia’s breathing grew light, Victor lifted her into his arms and carried her toward a hidden corridor that led to his private room. Every step feels like an eternity, his mind racing with thoughts of what might happen if he couldn’t save her.

Victor staggered back; his hand clutched his side as warm blood comes out through his shirt. The bullet had grazed him, but the pain was sharp. He locked eyes with Sergei, his lips curled into a cold smirk.“You should’ve aimed better,” Victor taunted, his voice steady despite the pain.Sergei chuckled darkly, circling around Victor like a predator toying with its prey. “Oh, trust me, Victor, I never miss. But this isn’t about killing you…not yet.”The sound of boots shuffling behind him forced Victor to look back. Sergei’s men closed in, their guns trained on him. Victor’s mind raced with the odds of escape.Back at the house, Olivia’s hands were shaking as she held the phone. The message haunted her; its meaning was clear: Victor was in danger.

Victor hold Olivia's hand; his grip was firm yet trembling with urgency. He yanked her forward, pulling her into the hallway. The light smell of smoke reached her nose, and her heart stopped.“Victor, what’s happening?” she asked, struggling to keep up with his step.“Sergei,” Victor growled. “He has made his move.”The air grew colder as they descended the staircase, the light glow of flames flaming at the edges of the house’s other side. Panic passed through Olivia as the heat increased.“This place is on fire!” she gasped, yanking her hand free.Victor stopped, turning to face her. His face was a storm of anger. “That’s why we need to move. Do you trust me or not?”Olivia hesitated. Her instinct telling her to run in the opposite direction, but the raw intensity in Victor’s eyes held her in place. She nodded, and he grabbed her hand again, guiding her thro

The car teared down the dark, windy road, the sound of engine blending with Olivia’s heartbeat. Her wrists burned where the zip ties bit into her skin, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the chaos in her chest.Victor. The image of him bleeding out on the ground haunted her, and guilt teared her insides. How had everything flown so far out of control?The two men nearby her remained silent, their eyes fixed ahead. Olivia swallowed her fear, to think clearly. Panicking wouldn’t help her now.She glanced at the door handles, testing them unnoticeably. Locked. Of course, they wouldn’t make it that easy.One of the men noticed her movements and smirked. “Don’t bother, sweetheart. You’re not going anywhere.”Olivia stared at him but said nothing. Instead, she shifted her focus to the road ahead, searching for any sign of where they might be taking her.The car finally slowed as they approached

The cabin door collapsed under the force of another blow. Victor’s men get in position, drawing their weapons as the tension escalates.“Get her out of here!” Victor shouted; his voice weak but commanding.“No!” Olivia snapped; her grip tightens on the knife. She fixed herself between Victor and the door, her eyes burning. “I won’t leave you like this!”Victor’s jaw clenched, frustration boiling with something else in his eyes. “Olivia, you’re not…”The door broken open. A wave of Sergei’s men got in with their guns raised. The first shot rang out.Victor’s men fired back, their bullets finding their way as the confined space became a battlefield. Olivia bent instinctively, pulling Victor down with her. His sharp intake of breath told her the movement had worse his wounds, but he said nothing, his focus was only fixed on the intruders.“Stay down

The sound of the helicopter blades filled the cabin, but the stiffness inside was suffocating. Victor sat slumped against the seat; his jaw clenched as Olivia pressed a cloth against his side. Blood coming through the bandage, its dark red stain was against her shaking hands.“You’re going to bleed out if you don’t let me stitch this properly,” she snapped, her voice trembled.Victor’s eyes go to her, a light smirk on his lips. “You’ve grown bold, haven’t you?”She stared at him. “Maybe I’ve finally had enough of your orders.”Before he could respond, Dmitri’s voice cut through the moment. “We’ve got a problem.”Olivia saw toward the cockpit. Dmitri leaned forward, speaking urgently to the pilot, whose face had turned pale. She couldn’t hear their words over the engine’s souund, but the way Dmitri’s hand hovered near his gun spoke somet

Time seemed to slow down as Olivia’s scream cut passed through the air. Victor reacted with the swiftness of someone who had fight with death countless times. Twisting his body, he barely avoided the blade which was meant to bury itself in his back.The knife grazed his arm instead, tearing through the fabric of his suit and leaving a red stain on his arm. The masked man attacked again, but Victor was faster. Grabbing the man’s wrist, he twisted it violently until the knife falls to the ground.“Dmitri!” Victor shouted, his voice sharp and commanding.Dmitri didn’t hesitate. Raising his gun, he fired a single shot. The man collapsed, lifeless, at Victor’s feet.Olivia pressed herself against the wall, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. The metallic scent of blood fills the air.“Are you hurt?” Victor’s voice was cold as his eyes goes over her.Olivia shook her head, her voice stuck i

Victor stepped out of the car. "Stay with me," Victor ordered Olivia.The mansion was ahead, Olivia hesitated, her instincts telling her that no place was truly safe anymore."Do you really think this place is secure?" she asked with doubt.Victor glanced at her sharply. "It’s not the place; it’s the people we need to watch."Inside the mansion, a handful of Victor's trusted men stood at attention. The air was heavy as though everyone could feel the betrayal passing among them.Victor wasted no time. "Whoever sent that message knows this location," he said, his voice was cold. "Which means the traitor is close."The men exchanged glances, but no one spoke.Dmitri stepped forward. "We need to lock this place down. No one in or out until we figure out who’s responsible."Victor nodded. "Agreed. Check everyone’s phones, weapons, even the clothes on their backs. I want answers."Olivia watched them fe

Olivia’s hands shakes as she backed away from the monitors. Her eyes go between the screens, desperate for any sign of Victor. But her focus kept returning to the sly man moving closer.Her breathing grew hard. What do I do? Hide? Fight?The door to the room was armor-plated, but the thought offered a little comfort. She was trapped.Gripping the nearest object; a small and sharp metal tool from the workbench, Olivia positioned herself behind a shelf. Her fingers tighten around the makeshift weapon.The seconds dragged on; the only sound was of her racing heartbeat.And then it happened.A click came from the other side of the door."Not again," Olivia whispered, her mind flashing back to the many times Victor had forced his will on her.But this was different. This wasn’t about dominance but survival.The sound of the drill stopped. Silence was heavy in the air before a thud rattle

The tension in the room was suffocating. Olivia sat across from Victor in his private study, their hands intertwined on the polished wooden desk between them. Neither of them spoke for a long time, the weight of what lay ahead pressing down on them.Russo was more than just another threat…. he was a ghost from Victor’s past, someone who had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And now, he had made his move.“I don’t want you involved in this,” Victor finally said, his voice low but firm.Olivia tightened her grip on his hand. “You don’t get to make that choice for me.”Victor’s eyes darken. “This isn’t like before, Olivia. Russo isn’t just another rival looking to take my empire, he wants blood. My blood.” His jaw clenched. “And if he knows how much you mean to me, he’ll come after you, too.”Olivia’s heart pounded. “Then let’s stop him before he gets the chance.”Victor exhaled sharply. “You don’t…..”“I understand perfectly,” she interrupted. “You’ve spent your entire life
HARSH Chapter 63: Will You Marry Me? [Special]
The morning light filters through the window, casting a warm glow over the safehouse. Olivia sat at the kitchen table, absentmindedly tracing patterns on the wooden surface. She felt the quiet peace of the moment, but the weight of the past weeks lingered in the back of her mind… a constant reminder of the danger they had barely escaped.Victor was uncharacteristically silent as he moved around the kitchen, his movements purposeful. The tension in his shoulders was less pronounced, but his eyes remained guarded. Olivia could sense he was lost in his thoughts, and she wondered if he was considering the same thing she was: their future.“What’s on your mind?” she finally asked, breaking the silence.Victor paused, setting a mug of coffee in front of her.“Everything,” he replied, his voice low. He leaned against the counter, arms crossed over his chest as he regarded her. “Our lives. What comes next.”Olivia met his gaze steadily, her fingers tightening around the warm mug. “We’ve talke

The air smelled of smoke and blood. The echoes of gunfire had finally faded, leaving only a suffocating silence in their wake.Olivia stood beside Victor, her hands trembling slightly as she gripped the gun still warm from the final shot she had fired. Around them, the bodies of their enemies lay motionless, the last remnants of a threat that had haunted them for too long.It was over.Or at least, it should have been.Victor exhaled, running a hand through his bloodied hair. His dark eyes scanned the scene, ensuring there were no survivors. His entire body was tense, shoulders tensed, fists clenched. He wasn’t celebrating. He never did.“This was their last move,” he muttered. “They had no backup plan. No one else is coming.”Olivia swallows hard. “Then why don’t you look relieved?”Victor’s eyes flickered to her. “Because peace never lasts in this world.”She knew he was right. Even as they stood victorious, Olivia could feel the weight of everything they had lost, of everything the

The air inside Victor’s office was unspeakable. A large map of the city was spread across the table, red markings and hastily scribbled notes covering its surface. His men stood around, speaking in low, urgent voices, but Olivia’s focus was only on Victor.He looked more dangerous than she had ever seen him. His suit jacket was draped over the chair, sleeves rolled up to reveal his powerful forearms. His jaw was clenched, his dark eyes scanning the map with deadly eyes.“This isn’t just another power move,” Victor finally said. “They’re coming for everything. My business. My territory. And you.”A chill ran down, but she forced herself to stand firm. She wasn’t the same woman who had fought to escape him.Now, she was fighting to survive with him.“So what’s the plan?” she asked.Victor’s gaze flickered to her, studying her reaction. “You want to fight? You’ll fight.”Olivia barely had time to react before Victor turned to his men. “Get her a gun. And prepare the car.”Her heart pound

The ride back to Victor’s estate was silent.Olivia was sitting in the passenger seat of his black SUV, staring out at the passing city lights. Her body ached from the fight, her wrists sore from where Marco had grabbed her, but none of that compared to the storm inside her.Victor’s fingers drummed against the steering wheel; his knuckles still bruised from the fight. He hadn’t said a word since they left the warehouse. His jaw was locked tight.But she knew him well enough by now.He was furious.Not just at Marco. Not just at his enemies.At her.She exhaled sharply and turned to face him. “Say something.”Victor didn’t respond.“Victor.”His grip tightened on the wheel. “You could have died.”Olivia bit her lip. “So could you.”He let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “That’s different.”“No, it’s not.” She clenched her fists. “You act like you’re the only one allowed to make sacrifices. But I chose to do that. Just like you always do.”Victor suddenly pulled the car over, the

The tension in the room was suffocating. Olivia sat across from Marco Ricci, one of Victor’s most dangerous enemies, trying to steady her breathing as she made her proposal.“I’m not here as Victor’s pawn,” she said, keeping her voice firm. “I came on my own. To negotiate.”Marco leaned back in his chair, a cruel smirk curling on his lips. His dark eyes studied her, filled with amusement and something dangerous.“You must think highly of yourself,” he murmured. “Walking into a lion’s den without your master’s leash.”Olivia clenched her fists under the table. “Victor doesn’t own me.”Marco chuckled, swirling the glass of alcohol in his hand. “No? Then why does he tear the world apart for you?”She had no answer for that.Marco leaned forward. “So, tell me, sweetheart. What do you think you can offer me that would make me reconsider my war with Victor?”Olivia swallowed. This was the moment that could change everything.“A deal,” she said. “A ceasefire. I know you want Victor’s world,
HARSH Chapter 58: Choice Between Love and Freedom [Special]
The silence between them was suffocating.Victor was standing in front of Olivia; his piercing eyes were locked onto hers.Her body still ached from the suffering of being kidnapped, her mind still reeling from the fear of almost losing herself again. And yet, here she was, face to face with the man who had burned himself into her heart, despite all the things he had done.She swallowed hard before speaking, her voice barely above a whisper but carrying the weight of everything she felt.“If I asked you to let me go… would you?”Victor’s entire body tensed.He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he took a slow step toward her, his movements deliberate, controlled. But Olivia didn’t back away this time.His jaw clenched. “Why are you asking me this?”Her fingers curled into fists at her sides. “Because I need to know.”Victor exhaled sharply, his hand running through his dark hair in frustration. “Olivia, after everything… after what they did to you… you’re asking me if I would let you
HARSH Chapter 57: The Hunt Begins [Warning-Harm]
The air inside the estate was cold. Victor stood in the center of his study, his jaw clenched, fingers twitching over the handle of his gun. The message had been clear. Someone from his past had come again, and they had done the one thing he could never forgive… targeting Olivia.“Boss,” one of his men, Marco, spoke cautiously. “We confirmed it. The enemy knows her location. They sent a message to the rival families.”Victor’s grip on his gun tightened. His worst fear was unfolding before him. Olivia was no longer just caught in his world… she was the bait, the weakness his enemies had been waiting to exploit.“Who gave them her location?” Victor’s voice was deadly calm.Marco hesitated. “We’re still tracking the source. But it had to be someone close.”Victor’s mind raced. He had been careful, always ensuring that Olivia was safe. The only ones who knew her exact whereabouts were those in his inner circle. Which meant someone had betrayed him.A knock at the door made Victor snap his

The night air was cold. Olivia’s heart pounded as she pressed her back against the cold brick wall of the alleyway. Gunfire echoed in the distance, the sharp sound cutting through the darkness. She could hear Victor’s men engaging in a brutal firefight with their enemies, but she had only one thought racing through her mind…. Victor.He had shoved her out of the way when the ambush began, shielding her with his own body before ordering her to run. But running was the last thing on her mind.She needed to get back to him.She had to know he was alive.Taking a deep breath, Olivia gripped the small pistol Victor had insisted she carry. Her fingers trembled as she moved towards the chaos.The moment she stepped out of the alley; she saw him.Victor stood in the center of the bloodshed, his black coat whipping in the wind, his gun raised as he fired with deadly precision. His men surrounded him, covering his side, but it was clear they were outnumbered.And then, Olivia saw the assassin.
