Rosalie and Cameron entered the VIP room, but Cameron turned back toward the door."Since you're leaving, I'll go outside to talk to my friend as well," Rosalie said, starting to walk toward the door."You can't go out in a short gown like that. Just stay here; I'll be back soon," Cameron replied."Why should I obey you? You can't just command me and expect me to comply," Rosalie mumbled, continuing her stride toward the door. But Cameron quickly grabbed her hand."Why are you so stubborn?" Cameron said, frustration evident in his voice."If you're already frustrated, then stop talking to me. Let stripping bring us together when the time is right," she replied with a smirk."I'm not frustrated because of you," Cameron said. "I'm frustrated because we can't do it here. The more you say those things, the more I want to explore you." He winked, and Rosalie immediately pulled her hand away from him."You're crazy! How can you say something so shameful?" Rosalie exclaimed, her voice laced
"Gabriella!!" Carter screamed in a frenzy. It turned out that he wasn't the one who had been shot—Gabriella was.Just before the bullet struck him, she had rushed to hug him after calling his name, taking the hit herself."Gabriella! Please, please, why did you do this?" Carter cried, shaking her gently in his arms, already covered in her blood."Gabriella!" Isabella screamed as she rushed over, joined by her friends, while students began to gather around them.Without waiting for anything, Carter picked up Gabriella's unconscious body and rushed to the car they had arrived in."Where are you taking her, you fool? You caused all of this; you'll rot in jail!" Isabella shouted after him, but Carter didn’t stop until he reached the car and gently placed Gabriella inside before sitting beside her."Please drive to the hospital immediately," Carter said fearfully to the driver, who sped off without hesitation.Immediately, the car took off, and an evil smile spread across Isabella's face.
The speed at which Rosalie entered the hospital drew stares from people, who looked at her as if she were mad. In her haste, she even forgot to pay the taxi driver before rushing inside.Carter struggled to explain what had happened over the phone, his tears making it difficult for him to communicate clearly and this only heightened Rosalie's anxiety, prompting her to rush to the ward that Carter had mentioned."Carter!" Rosalie called as she ran toward him. The moment Carter saw her, he sprinted the remaining distance and hugged her tightly."Oh my gosh! Carter, are you okay? Did something happen to you?" Rosalie asked, her voice filled with concern and Carter began to cry on her shoulder."Carter, please tell me what happened. I'm worried," Rosalie urged, gently patting him on the back."I don't think he can speak right now..." Athena said, and that’s when Rosalie noticed her."But from what I know, his friend took a bullet for him at school," Athena added, and Rosalie's eyes widene
Santiago walked into the house and, upon reaching the living room, he spotted the Godfather."Oh, you're here. What happened?" Godfather asked, studying Santiago, who had an urgent look on his face.Godfather was sitting on the couch, watching the news about Gabriella being shot on the television and he had a smile on his face, as this was the kind of news he loved."Good morning, Godfather," Santiago greeted with a bow, and Godfather nodded in response."I think I told you everything you need to know over the phone, or is there something you can't say on the phone that brought you here?" Godfather asked."Exactly, Godfather. I need to tell you something important, and I don't want to discuss it over the phone because we might need to work it out," Santiago replied, now looking up at Godfather."What? Tell me," Godfather urged, and Santiago nodded before beginning to explain everything."Last night, while I was secretly watching the young master with the lady, I noticed something alar
Isabella stepped into the uncompleted building, glancing back to ensure no one was following her. Seeing that she was alone, she exhaled and walked further inside. "I'm here," she called out, and the man she had hired to take care of Carter emerged from one of the rooms. "I've done my part. Where's my payment?" The man asked immediately after he got to her, and Isabella hissed in response."I just wanted to pay you, but you missed the target. Still, I'll pay you because I actually like how things turned out," Isabella said, and the guy smiled."That's why I love working with you. I'd definitely like to work with you again in the future," he mumbled."Of course, you'll continue to work for me. I need you to help me teach someone a lesson," Isabella replied, recalling how Athena had slapped her."No one hits me and gets away with it. She'll regret this," Isabella thought, a wicked smile spreading across her face. Suddenly, she remembered Cameron."The main reason I came here is to as
It had all been Cameron's plan from the beginning. As soon as Rosalie rushed inside, he followed her. However, he paused at the corner, sensing that something was off and that things were about to get messy.When Mr. and Mrs. Smith walked in, he recognized them immediately. They had been the godfather's clients when he was just 14, and he could never forget their faces from that day. He knew why they had come to seek the godfather's help, and he intended to use that against them now. They had messed with the wrong family. He recalled how Mr. Smith had bribed the police and how Isabella was smiling wickedly, which had raised his suspicions about her."Let me start with you first, while I keep your parents in suspense until I'm done," Cameron said with a smile. Isabella immediately regretted coming back here. If it hadn't been for the picture she wanted to take secretly, she wouldn't have found herself in this mess again. Her heart raced faster with fear as she realized the situation s
As soon as Cameron's lips met hers, Rosalie seemed to lose herself, as if she had been waiting for this moment. She pulled him closer, and they began to kiss fiercely.In the past, if he had kissed her like this when she still hated him, she would have tried to break the kiss before reluctantly giving in. But now, everything felt different.She began kissing him back almost immediately, and this time, her body was in sync with her desires. She willingly surrendered, wanting to feel his lips on hers again—and perhaps even more than just kissing.Cameron's hand moved to her ass, giving it a firm squeeze.“Mmmm!” Rosalie moaned softly into the kiss, her fists tightening on Cameron's shirt as waves of pleasure washed over her.Cameron's hands didn't leave her ass; he kept squeezing them, earning soft, silent moans from Rosalie as they kissed fervently.He gently bit her upper lip, coaxing her to open her mouth wider. Rosalie gasped into the kiss, and Cameron seized the opportunity to slid
"What did you just say? I thought you said you didn't come here for that," Cameron said sarcastically, causing Rosalie to look away in embarrassment and focus on the window."That's not what I said; you're just hearing things," Rosalie insisted, though she knew it was pointless to deny it because she had said it, and Cameron had heard her. But in her embarrassment, she felt compelled to defend herself.Cameron scoffed and drove away without saying another word. Rosalie let out a silent sigh of relief. *Thank goodness he didn't believe me and isn't trying to convince me that I actually said it,* she thought, a smile creeping onto her face as she continued to gaze out the window.The rest of the ride to Cameron's house was quiet, with neither of them speaking. When Cameron finally parked the car in the garage, Rosalie quickly got out.Before Cameron could get out of the car, Rosalie rushed into the house. She wanted to maintain her act and avoid letting Cameron know that she had follow
Rosalie's POV Immediately I heard Cameron's voice behind me, and I turned around, standing up with a confused and shocked expression on my face.Could it really be a coincidence that Cameron's old girlfriend shares the same name as my sister? Not to mention, he used my sister's exact birthdate as the passcode for his safe locker, and both my sister and his ex-girlfriend are dead.I don't think those three events can be mere coincidences; there's definitely something fishy going on, and I need to get answers from Cameron right now.Cameron started walking closer to me, his expression soft yet slightly angry. I couldn't help but wonder what could possibly make him angry if there was nothing suspicious about the safe locker."I'm asking you what you were doing there," Cameron mumbled again, still approaching me. His voice was soft, but his expression told a different story.I began to back away until my back hit the wall, leaving me with nowhere to go."Why is my kitten being a little
Rosalie's POV "Ouch! Ohhhh, my lord! Please, fuck me harder!" Moans echoed from the kitchen, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted.It was obvious that the stranger, who called himself Maverick, was with the woman in the kitchen, whom he referred to as his "bitch." Their screams were already grating on my nerves.How can they not feel even a hint of shame as they can go into the bedroom to do whatever nonsense they're doing? Maverick knows I'm in this house, and he must realize how uncomfortable it is for me, yet he still went ahead and fucked that woman in the kitchen."If he's truly Cameron's best friend, then I don't think I can stand being in the same house with him. He's already so annoying," I mumbled, my voice laced with irritation."Cameron should hurry up; they're making this house a mess today, and it's driving me crazy. I think my meal is in the kitchen, but I can't go in there because of the unholy stuff they're doing," I mumbled, frustration evident on my face."Maybe I
Cameron's POV I rushed into the clan house as soon as I got out of the car. Today is the day—I’m going to end everything, and then I’ll confront the Godfather.I’m supposed to be living here with the gang members because of a case like this, but I can’t because of Rosalie. I just wanted us to be living alone, like I do, even though it’s the same house where Maya and I lived before she died, I’ve tried to keep my mind off that fact and have managed to live peacefully with Rosalie.As soon as I entered the training room, I found everyone there, including Jack. I nodded, impressed by how prepared they all were."Good, now let's get going. Remember everything I told you," I reminded them, addressing the group of twenty-five. Everything needed to go perfectly, especially since I knew Salvatore would have many guards and members."Yes, Boss," they all chorused, bowing in unison."I'll lead them outside," Jack said, and I nodded in agreement."Let's go," Jack said, leading the way while the
Rosalie's POV I was both surprised and scared when I saw a man behind me, leaving me confused about what was happening.What were they doing here? How did they get here? With Cameron already gone, did they come to hurt me? These questions raced through my mind.But if they were here to harm me, why would the lady in the kitchen be cooking? Despite that thought, I couldn't shake the fear that gripped me."I'm asking you, who are you?" I yelled again, struggling to keep my fear in check. I could feel it threatening to betray me at any moment, especially if these people turned out to be who I feared they were.The man wore a smile that annoyed me, though I couldn't quite understand why. When he refused to speak, I picked up a flower vase from the table and turned to face him. Despite the threatening look on my face and the vase in my hands, his expression remained unchanged."If you're here to hurt me again, you're mistaken this time—I'm not giving you a chance," I said, gripping the fl
Rosalie's POV Cameron started walking closer to me as soon as I asked the question. When he stopped in front of me, looking straight into my eyes, I couldn't understand why he was doing this. All I wanted was an answer. Did he think he could use his charm to make me stop asking? I needed to pull myself together; I wouldn't let that work. I was determined to get an answer from him tonight."Why do you sound suspicious of me?" Cameron suddenly asked after looking at me for a few seconds. His question made me wonder why I was seeking answers to my own questions.It's not like I'm his girlfriend who should know everything about him, yet that's exactly how I'm acting right now. I don't think I'm in a position to ask him those questions.Even though I know Cameron isn't weak but rather incredibly powerful, I sometimes wonder if it's the nightclub that has made him this way or if there's something else. However, as I think about it now, I realize I shouldn't dwell on it, especially since I
Carter's POV It was already night, and after ensuring that Gabriella was no longer sad after having fun together—I settled down with her in the living room to watch TV. I had managed to convince her to stay, reassuring her that Athena didn't mean any harm, even though I was unsure of what was troubling my big sister.Athena hadn't even come out of her room since returning from work, which made me worry that something was definitely wrong with her.I shook the thought of Athena from my mind and continued watching TV. We were watching a horror movie, as it was Gabriella's recommendation. I couldn't help but wonder how Gabriella could watch a horror movie without flinching—she was surprising me right now.She said she didn't like romance movies because they were too cringeworthy, but I knew that once she realized her feelings for me and confessed her love, she'd be drawn to them. I could already picture us sharing those romantic moments together, and a smile escaped my lips at the thoug
Cameron's POV"Is Rosalie's expression right now a joke? I believe in my food and I'm proud of it, even though I haven't tasted it yet. I know it will taste as good as it did before.'Are you kidding? Are you really making that face because you think my food is tasteless?' I asked, incredulous.Rosalie didn't stop laughing, and I had to intervene to avoid hurting her stomach wound.""Could you stop laughing? You might hurt your wound," I said, and Rosalie stared at me in bewilderment as she finally stopped laughing."Who hurts their wounds just from laughing? I can't help but think you're overreacting," Rosalie replied jokingly. But that was exactly what I wanted to hear. I love being overprotective and overreacting when it comes to my girl; it's just part of who I am, and I wouldn't change it for anything.Once someone catches my attention, they should be prepared for it. Maya went through this, and Rosalie won't be any different—if anything, I'll be even more protective and reactive
Rosalie's POV I quietly made my way into the kitchen, careful not to let Cameron notice my slow approach.He was already chopping vegetables, and at that moment, I wished I had my phone to capture the scene. He looked like the perfect boyfriend, even though he wasn't mine.I knew everything we were doing felt like that of a couple, but I didn't mind that he hadn't asked me out. All I wanted was to keep enjoying the sight of his handsome, charming self.I quietly approached Cameron from behind and playfully tickled him. He spun around, inhaling sharply when he realized it was me."Thank goodness! I knew it was you. I was about to stab whoever it was if it had been someone else," he said, exhaling with relief. I couldn't help but chuckle at his words."Why would you think it was someone else when it's just the two of us in this house?" I asked, giving him an incredulous look. He turned back to his task before replying."That's what I was thinking, but anyway, what are you doing here? B
"What nonsense are you spouting? Rosalie is dead, you bastard!" The Godfather struggled to contain his anger as Kai chuckled."That's what you think, but she's very much alive—I saw her yesterday," Kai insisted, trying to make them understand."I told you to throw him out! He's talking nonsense as if he's lost his mind!" the Godfather yelled, refusing to believe Kai since he had never brought home such information before, and the Godfather considered him as useless as ever.The Godfather is aware that Kai hates Cameron, and he wonders if Kai is saying this in an attempt to take control of the clan."I know you hate me, but why didn't you listen? I'm not as useless as you think I am anymore. Instead of denying what I'm saying, it would be better for you to listen.""So I can join them and finish the work because I'm perfect now, just like I discovered that Rosalie didn't die," Kai added with a serious expression, noticing that Godfather's face had started showing signs of belief."What
