last update Last Updated: 2025-02-09 00:27:35

Olivia was sitting in the dimly lit study, her fingers trembling as she flipped through the faded documents spread across the desk. The flickering light casting shadows on the walls, matching the unease in her chest.

She shouldn’t be doing this.

Victor had warned her… more than once.

But how could she ignore the nagging feeling in her chest? The feeling that there was more to her father’s disappearance than Victor let on?

She took a deep breath and searched the documents again, scanning for any clue, any detail that had gone unnoticed.

Her father’s debts had been the chain that bound her to Victor. But something about it never made sense. The numbers, the sudden vanishing act, the whispers of betrayal…. none of it fit together the way it should.

She wanted to find.

And she wouldn’t stop until she had them.

A soft creak sounded from the hallway.

Olivia’s pulse beats. She quickly shoved the papers into a drawer, her heart thundering against her ribs as the door swung open.

    The office was bathed in shadows, the faint moonlight streaming through the curtains casting patterns across the floor. Olivia’s heart pounded in her ears as she reached for the drawer Victor had always kept locked.This was her chance.Victor had led her here, taunted her with the promise of truth… but he had left. Perhaps to test her. Perhaps to see if she would dare to go further.Her breath hitched as she pulled it open, revealing a stack of folders. Some were filled with financial records, some with photographs, grainy images of men shaking hands, exchanging packages, money.Then, at the bottom of the pile, she found it.A file with her father’s name stamped across the front.Olivia’s heart twisted with terror.Slowly, she opened it.Inside were pages of transactions, meeting notes, and agreements. Her father’s signature was scrawled across multiple documents… documents that detailed deals not with Victor’s organization, but with someone else.A rival mafia.The blood drained fro

    The silence between them was thick, charged with unspoken words. The events of the previous night still lingered in Olivia’s mind…. the bloodshed, the way Victor had shielded her, the possessive way he had kissed her as if she belonged to him.But she hadn’t forgotten why she was here.Why she had risked everything.Victor was hiding something.And she was done pretending that she didn’t notice.She stood in the center of his office; her hands clenched at her sides as Victor poured himself a glass of alcohol. He looked calm…too calm but Olivia wasn’t fooled.She had seen him furious. And she had learned that Victor’s most dangerous moments were the ones where he appeared utterly composed.“I want the truth,” she said, her voice firm.Victor took a slow sip of his drink before setting it down with a quiet clink. “The truth about what?”Her nails dig into her palms. “About my father. About his debts. About why you’re so obsessed with keeping me here.”Victor tilted his head, studying he

    The walls of Victor’s office seemed to close in on Olivia, the weight of his confession pressing down on her chest like a heavy force. The words he had just spoken echoed in her mind, colliding with the memories of every moment she had spent trapped under his control.You don’t want to leave me.His voice had been soft, almost gentle, but the certainty behind it had shattered her defenses.Now, as she stood frozen in front of him, she could feel the heaviness. Victor was watching her closely, his dark eyes searching for any sign of her surrender.She took a shaky breath and squared her shoulders. “Tell me everything.”Victor arched a brow. “Everything?”“Yes,” she demanded. “No more half-truths. I want to know exactly why you did this to me.”A smirk touched his lips, but there was something dark in it. He took a step closer, and Olivia resisted the urge to step back.“You were leverage, Olivia,” he admitted, his voice low and calm. “Your father owed me a debt he could never repay, an

    The cold metal of the chain rattled against Olivia’s ankle as she shifted on the bed, her breath coming in uneven gasps. She couldn’t believe this was happening.Victor had locked her inside his room.And worse, he had chained her.Her left leg was bound to the heavy bedpost, the cool metal biting into her skin every time she moved. She yanked at it in frustration, but it was useless, the chain was thick, and the lock was unbreakable.Her chest was heavy as she glared at him. “This is insane, Victor!”Victor stood near the door, rolling the sleeves of his white shirt further up his forearms. His dark eyes were locked onto her, his expression unreadable.“Insane?” he repeated, his voice dangerously calm. He took a slow step forward, his gaze never leaving her. “No, Olivia. Insane is thinking you could run from me.”She swallows hard, her body tensing as he moved closer.“I gave you everything,” he mumbled, reaching for the chain and running his fingers along its length before gripping

    The echoes of last night still clung to Olivia’s skin. Even as the morning light came through the heavy curtains, casting a golden glow across the room, she remained frozen beneath the silk sheets.Her body still remembered his touch.Every kiss, every bite and every whispered command.She should have hated it.She should have hated him.But as she stared at the ceiling, her thoughts tangled with the ghost of his mouth on her body, the way he had broken her apart and put her back together again.The door creaked open, pulling her from her thoughts.Victor.Dressed in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, his presence dominating the room. His sharp eyes swept over her, dark with something she couldn’t name.“Get up,” he ordered. “We’re leaving.”Olivia sat up slowly, clutching the sheets around her. “Leaving? Where?”Victor’s expression remained unreadable. “You don’t need to know.”Her jaw clenched. She hated how he always kept her in the dark. But she had learned by now that push

    The storm outside howled against the windows, but it was nothing compared to the storm raging between them.Olivia stood in the middle of Victor’s bedroom, her chest rising and falling with anger. “You don’t trust anyone else to protect me?” she repeated his words, disbelief was in her voice. “That’s your excuse for keeping me locked in this place?”Victor’s eyes burned into her. He had just finished dismissing his men, leaving the two of them alone in the room. Shadows danced across his sharp features, making him look even more dangerous.“I trust no one,” he said, his voice low but firm. “Not with you.”A bitter laugh escaped Olivia’s lips. “So what? You think locking me up is protection?” She took a step closer, her anger building. “Or is this just another excuse to control me?”Victor’s jaw clenched. His silence spoke louder than words.Olivia clenched her fists. “I am not your possession, Victor.”He moved suddenly, grabbing her wrist and yanking her against him. Her breath hitch

    The estate had never felt smaller.Despite its sprawling halls and luxurious gardens, Olivia felt like a prisoner. Victor had ordered round-the-clock security, doubling the guards at every entrance and restricting her movements to only a few parts of the estate. She wasn’t even allowed to step outside without his permission.Her bedroom, once a place of restless nights and defiance, now felt suffocating.Olivia stood by the large glass window, staring out at the gardens below. The guards patrolling the area moved like shadows, their presence a constant reminder that she wasn’t free. She clenched her fists.This wasn’t just about protection.This was about control.Victor was keeping her locked away, not because of the threats from his enemies, but because he wanted to.The door creaked open behind her.Victor’s presence was unmistakable. It filled the room like a storm… silent but powerful."You didn't come down for breakfast," he said.Olivia didn’t respond.She felt him step closer,

    Few days later Olivia was kidnapped….. The moment Olivia opened her eyes, a sharp pain throbbed at the back of her head. The dim light flickered above, casting shadows across the cold, damp room. The air smelled of rust and sweat, and the harsh sting of rope burnt against her wrists, binding them tightly behind her back.Panic surged through her as she tried to move, but the rough rope only dug deeper into her skin. Her heart pounded violently against her ribcage. The last thing she remembered was being at the estate, feeling Victor’s heated gaze on her before stepping away to catch a breath of fresh air. Then…. darkness.Now, she was here. Somewhere unknown. Somewhere dangerous.A slow clap echoed through the room. “Awake already?” a deep voice drawled.Olivia’s head snapped up, and her blood ran cold. Sitting across from her in a high-backed chair, legs lazily crossed, was him…. Dante Moretti.Victor’s most ruthless rival.She had heard the name whispered in fearful voices around th

    Inside Victor’s penthouse, bathed in the soft golden glow of city lights, Olivia lay beneath him, her body tangled with his. The weight of the past few months… the fights, the betrayals, the near-death experiences had faded into the background as they focused only on each other.Victor traced his fingers down her bare spine, his touch featherlight, sending a shiver through her. “You’re mine,” he whispered, his voice husky.Olivia arched into him, her lips curving into a soft smile. “And you’re mine.”It wasn’t just a claim, it was a promise.Victor didn’t waste another second. He captured her lips in a deep and consuming kiss, his tongue tangling with hers, drawing out a soft moan from her. His hands roamed her body with a respect that made her heart ache. He had always been possessive, but tonight, there was something different… something softer, more tender.His mouth got down her jaw, pressing hot, open-mouthed kisses down her neck, lingering at the sensitive spot where her pulse r

    The weight of the past no longer felt as suffocating as it once did. Olivia was sitting on the edge of Victor’s massive bed, her fingers tracing the edge of the silk sheets. The events of the past weeks had been overwhelming…. betrayal, danger, and the lingering ghosts of her father’s mistakes.But now, for the first time, she felt free.Victor stood across the room, watching her. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing the toned muscles beneath, his dark eyes were filled with something. He knew what tonight meant. Not just for him, but for her.She turned to look at him, her lips parting slightly as she whispered, “I’m ready to move on.”Victor took slow and measured steps towards her, his presence consuming her senses. When he reached her, he cupped her face in his hands, his fingers brushing against her jawline with a gentleness that sent shivers within her.“You’re sure?” His voice was husky, deep with desire but laced with restraint.Olivia nodded, her hands finding their way to his

    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

    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,

    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
