Apache reached Cameron's car but found it empty, a sinister smile creeping across his face."You can't escape from me," he murmured, his voice low and menacing. "I have to take you both away from this world today. If I fail, then the boss is right about me—I’ve become useless and I won’t be able to bear the shame of letting someone else finish the job. I could have done by myself." He continued walking, certain that the only path left would lead him to where__Rosalie and Cameron went to, knowing there was no other way, while he kept walking deeper."I'll kill myself if I can't complete this, but one thing I'm sure of is that Rosalie and Cameron will surely die. Even if it's not by my hand, someone else will kill them," Apache mumbled to himself as he continued walking. That was the only plan in his head right now. Apache reached the door, which opened by itself. He was taken aback; such a door suggested a secretive place. What surprised him even more was that he could enter without
"What? Why do you look shocked?" Cameron asked as he stepped behind her."I'm surprised because this name reminds me of someone special—her name is Maya too," Rosalie replied, turning to him with a smile. Cameron gently cupped her small, cute face in his hands."Then the name must be special to both of us because it holds a special place in my heart, too," Cameron mumbled, his face inching closer to hers. Rosalie couldn't help but shake away the thought of her sister Maya, especially with Cameron's charming gaze making it even harder to think."Who is Maya to you?" Cameron asked, bringing the thought of Maya back to the forefront of her mind."She's my older sister. And who is the other Maya to you?" Rosalie asked, but her question shifted Cameron's mood. He was about to ask what had happened to her sister, but—He hesitated, as the thought of Maya and their unborn child always broke his heart. Those memories were too painful for him to remember."I don't want to talk about it," Camer
"Ouch!" Cameron yelped in pain, and that's when Rosalie realized what she had just done. Her eyes widened as she saw blood trickling down from Cameron's head.He moved away from her and sat on the second couch, cradling his injured head.Rosalie quickly jumped down from her couch and rushed to Cameron's side."I'm sorry, Cameron, I didn't mean to hurt you," Rosalie mumbled, her voice filled with regret and fear. She hadn’t been thinking clearly when he tried to touch her; the thought of him already having a girlfriend had made her angry at that moment.Rosalie reached out to him, but Cameron angrily pushed her hand away. "What the hell is your problem?!"As he yelled at her, Rosalie flinched and gasped in shock.She couldn't help but regret everything, and it broke her heart to hear Cameron yelling at her."I said I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you; I was just—" But Cameron cut her off before she could finish."Just what? I was trying to get you to forgive me by speaking coldly to y
"OMG! Ella, you're awake!" Carter exclaimed excitedly as he knelt beside her bed, gently caressing her hand with his."How long have I been here?" Gabriella asked weakly, her gaze fixed on Carter."Just a few days. You're a fighter, which is why you woke up so quickly," Carter replied, and Gabriella chuckled softly."I thought I had already died because I saw you in my dream. But maybe that actually means I'll survive," Gabriella mumbled, a smile escaping Carter's lips.He couldn't contain his happiness, and his heart raced in his chest as the girl he loved just woke up. He couldn't be happier.Carter had completely forgotten what had happened earlier when Athena kissed him; his mind was now filled with thoughts of Gabriella."Why did you take a bullet for me, anyway? You shouldn't have done that—you didn't deserve to be in this condition," Carter said, a sad expression on his face. Gabriella smiled at him."I did it because I wanted to. You don't have to worry about me; I'm alive, af
Apache immediately opened his eyes and realized he was nowhere in his house. He rushed out of bed and dashed to the door, bursting out of the room afterward.He had just regained consciousness after Santiago had struck him on the head with his gun.As he entered the living room, he saw Santiago cleaning the muzzle of his gun."Good thing you're awake," Santiago said, turning to face Apache after slipping his gun back into his pocket. "I was starting to get impatient.""So it was you who kidnapped me?" Apache asked, his face a mix of anger and confusion."No, you're mistaken," Santiago replied with a sneer. "I didn't kidnap you; I brought you here because you weren't willing to listen and follow me." Apache clenched his fists in anger."You motherf*cker! Do you have any idea how hard I struggled to follow them? I finally had a chance to end them, and you f*cking ruined it!" Apache yelled, his anger boiling over."Why didn't you just listen? It would have benefited you too," Santiago mu
Cameron smiled mischievously when Rosalie confessed that she was going crazy for him, unable to get enough of her innocence."It's simple," he murmured, his hand still teasing her clit. "Just say what you want clearly, and I'll give it to you."Rosalie let out a breathy sigh, overwhelmed by desire. Her body ached for him, and she could feel herself growing wetter with each passing moment. Yet, Cameron seemed to enjoy making it difficult for her to express her needs.She hesitated to voice her desires because of her shyness, but the intensity of her feelings had reached a breaking point. Her shyness was quickly overshadowed by her overwhelming desire for him, and she found herself unable to hold back any longer."I want your... D!ck inside me, and I can't wait any longer, Cameron," Rosalie breathed, her voice heavy with longing. A seductive smile spread across Cameron's face in response."Good girl," he said, gently patting her ass. Causing Rosalie to gasp in pleasure."It's going to h
Rosalie was rushed into the emergency room, and Cameron, overwhelmed and disoriented, instinctively tried to follow the nurse inside. However, he was stopped by the door."Please wait outside, sir," one of the nurses said firmly before closing the door behind her.He had thought he had changed when he began to feel fear, but the anxiety coursing through him now was incomparable to anything he had experienced since Rosalie entered his life.He wasn't himself right now, and he couldn't even fathom what would happen if something bad happened to Rosalie. While he thought earlier that the matters of his club were important, at this moment...He realized he had been wrong; he was nearly going crazy, not knowing what was happening with Rosalie inside the emergency room."After burning down my club, that person still dares to shoot Rosalie while she's with me. I swear I'll kill that person miserably without mercy," Cameron muttered to himself, filled with regret for bringing Rosalie along. He
Cameron and Jack entered the training room, where all twenty gang members were already waiting. Jack had informed them about Cameron's arrival."Morning, Boss," they greeted in unison, bowing respectfully. Brandon and Harper stood at the front, as usual, but Cameron couldn't respond. He was lost in his thoughts, and...He wouldn't be able to focus until Rosalie woke up. Once he dealt with Salvatore and made him pay for everything, then he would be okay."Are you all prepared? We're going on a mission—an important one at that—and it's going to be dangerous, so brace yourselves," Cameron announced. He knew that Salvatore was dangerous as well, and given what he had seen of him, when he was young, since the godfather and Salvatore know each other.But no matter how dangerous Salvatore was, Cameron was confident that he posed no real threat to him, especially since he had already bitten off more than he could chew."Yes, boss," the gang members replied in unison. Cameron knew it would be
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
