Rosalie's POV
I slowly walked out of the VIP room, still in shock. Can I really quit because of this man? I don’t want to work with him. It’s obvious we don’t like each other, and it would be a problem for me to work under him. I can’t see him as anything but a bastard pervert, and my pride won’t allow me to call him my boss. "I need to talk to Athena about this. I can't work like this. I'm sure I can find another job, even if it means being a waitress. I didn't want to do it before, but I would now. I don't mind..." "I just can't stand working with that fool; his presence irritates me," I mumbled as I entered the main club, scanning the room for Athena. But I couldn't see her anywhere. "I think she's still busy working. I shouldn't disturb her with my problems, I guess..." "I should just leave. Athena can tell that bastard pervert in the morning that I'm no longer interested in the job," I mumbled to myself, nodding in confirmation. As I started to walk out, the club felt too crowded for my liking. I hated everything about this place and wanted to leave immediately. I kept bumping into people, but finally, I reached the door and was about to step outside when... Someone grabbed my hand from behind, and I turned around immediately. "What the hell?!" I gasped, staring at the giant man in a uniform that looked like a bodyguard's. "Why did you suddenly grab me like that? Do I owe you something? I was about—" The bodyguard cut me off before I could finish, and I couldn't deny that I was actually scared of him. "You're the one the boss just hired, so you can't leave just yet," he said, and my eyes widened in shock. "What! Why can't I leave? I've quit because I'm no longer interested in this awful job. Tell your boss that!" I said, but the bodyguard still wouldn’t let go of my hand. "Let go of my hand! I need to leave!" I yelled, even though fear gripped my heart as I silently prayed he wouldn’t hurt me. "You can't leave. The boss said you're hired, and you can't quit again," the man dropped the bombshell. "What!" I gasped again. "You need to follow me quietly, or you could get hurt," the man said, grabbing my hand and dragging me outside. "Oh my God! Athena has gotten me into trouble," I mumbled to myself, fearfully, as I quietly followed the guard to the car. ___ After what felt like an eternity, we finally arrived at a large residence illuminated by lights throughout the compound. The man got out of the car, and I opened the back door before stepping out. I could have gasped at the beauty of the expansive house, but I was too anxious about what awaited me in the next few minutes. "Why did you bring me here? Are you kidnapping me or something?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear, even though it didn’t seem like I was in any real danger. "You'll find your answers when you go inside the house," the bodyguard said without sparing me another glance as he walked away. I was left speechless and terrified. What if I entered the house and ended up being kill? Thoughts raced through my mind, but staying outside only heightened my fear. Summoning the last of my courage, I decided to step inside the house. I walked into the house and my heart nearly jumping out of my chest when I saw people moving around. But they weren't just anyone; they were... Giant men with dangerous looks on their faces and women with cold, piercing gazes. I couldn't help but feel scared. "Hey," someone called from behind me. I turned to see a woman in a cropped top and shorts that revealed tattoos covering her whole body, giving her a tough, intimidating appearance. "Are you the new stripper boss just hired?" the woman asked and I nodded slowly. "Follow me," she said, looking at me with a look of disgust. I wondered why, but I followed her anyway. After navigating through several corridors, she finally stopped in front of a door, and I halted as well. "Go inside, bitch," she hissed before walking away. I stared at her in confusion until she disappeared from sight. "Why is she acting like a fool? Do I know her from somewhere? If it weren't for that bastard ex-boss of mine, I wouldn't be in this situation," I mumbled, my voice heavy with frustration as I twisted the door open. I just couldn't make sense of everything that was happening. Did they bring me here to strip for one of the men? Despite my thoughts, I stepped inside and found myself in the living room. There was no one in sight. "What does all this mean?" After pondering what to do for a few minutes, I decided to check the bedroom out of curiosity. I opened the door and stepped inside, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. I tried to locate the light switch, but before I could find it, someone suddenly... Pulled me back, and I found myself pressed against a hard chest, with something firm rubbing against my ass and my eyes widened in shock. "Who are you? Let go of me right now!" I yelled, struggling to break free, but the person held on tight and remained silent. Suddenly, a familiar scent hit my nose, and my eyes widened in shock again. "Cameron Rodriguez," I mumbled, surprised and I could hear him smirking. "You even recognize me in the dark and know my name. You were truly born to be my stripper," Cameron whispered mockingly in my ear, and I felt my anger rising. "How dare you bring me here, you motherfucker! Let go of me right now! I'm no longer interested in your job!" I shot back angrily, but Cameron just scoffed. "Is that a command?" he asked in a raspy voice, his warm breath brushing against my neck. "Since I said you're hired, you can’t quit until I fire you myself. All that's left for you to do is sign the arrangement contract," he mumbled, tightening his grip as I struggled against him. "I'm not signing any damn contract, you son of a bitch!" "You dare call me that again? I swear, if you do, I'll make you regret it by fucking you hard—right here, right now," he said, his voice laced with both threat and mockery. I didn't have the courage to repeat it. What if he followed through on his words? I couldn't bear the thought of losing my innocence to this bastard. For now, I decided to stay silent to keep myself safe. "Good girl," he murmured, brushing his lips softly against my ear, causing me to sigh uncomfortably. "Your training on how to act in front of men starts now," Cameron said, pulling me toward a chair in the middle of the room. I couldn't see anything in the darkness, but somehow, he seemed to navigate it effortlessly. He sat me down in the chair and began tying me up. "What are you doing? I told you to let me go! I'm no longer interested in this work!" I yelled again, but Cameron didn’t budge. Once he finished tying me up, the lights suddenly flickered on, and my eyes widened in shock. To my horror, I realized there were four of us in the bedroom. Two women lay on the bed, completely naked, and Cameron was also unclothed. I immediately turned away and closed my eyes when I saw his hard and big size. "What the hell does this mean?" Cameron chuckled again. "Just watch how you're going to please the customer," he said, stepping closer to the women on the bed. I slowly opened my eyes, curious about what he was going to do with them, and I couldn't help but gasp at the shocking scene unfolding before me. I just don't understand what kind of job this is. I thought Athena said I would only be stripping for men while wearing my panties and bra, but what he’s asking me to watch right now is the complete opposite. Cameron squeezed one of the woman's breasts, and she moaned loudly. One of the girls was the same one Cameron had tied up earlier, while the other was new. "Okay, girls, let's show her how to please men," Cameron said with a smirk. "Okay, Daddy," the girls replied with a hint of sass. One of the girl wrapped her hand around his dick before starting stroking him fastly while Cameron fucked the other girl with his four fingers. In the next few seconds, loud moans filled the room, and I couldn't bring myself to close my eyes. I gasped again when I started feeling myself dripping wet from my pussy.Cameron's POVNext day___I stepped out of my chamber with a smile on my face, unable to shake the memories of last night. The innocent look on her face is something I can't get out of my head easily.I noticed how she was rubbing her thighs together; it was clear she was feeling horny as well last night. When I released her last night, I could see her juice on the chair where she sat."I can't wait to take that innocent look off her face and teach her a lesson for disrespecting me in my own way," I mumbled, a proud smile spreading across my lips.As I made my way downstairs, I found all my gang members waiting for me."Good morning, boss," they greeted, their heads bowed in respect, before Jack stepped closer to my side."Have you located our target for tonight?" I asked Jack quietly."Yes, boss. He plans to travel tonight at eight o'clock, but I've already tracked his every move," Jack replied, and I nodded in satisfaction.I turned back to the gang members. "I need ten of you to ac
Rosalie's POV The sound of a door creaking woke me up, and I yawned loudly before slowly opening my eyes.My eyes widened when my vision cleared, revealing that I wasn't in my room. I turned to the door and saw Cameron standing there."What the heck am I doing here?" I mumbled in surprise as Cameron began walking closer to me, a smile on his face."Don't come any closer! What did you do to me?" I yelled, jumping out of bed. I remembered seeing a killer last night before passing out, but..."How did I end up here?" I thought."Do you remember what happened last night?" Cameron asked, though he was curious to know if she had seen his face last night but he didn't let his curiosity show on his face."What happened? Is it what I'm thinking?" I wondered, feeling a surge of fear as I checked myself out. Thankfully, my clothes were still on.“D... did you... sleep with me?” I asked, fear evident on my face, but Cameron just scoffed.“You think highly of yourself? Who do you think you are, t
Students were seen walking around the school, all looking classy and affluent. It was clear that this was a school for the wealthy, and any poor student who managed to secure a scholarship often faced relentless bullying until they either left the school or, in some cases, were committed suicide.Crestwood High School, the largest school in the country, was notorious for the way its rich students treated the poor one.And there was Carter, who entered the school on a scholarship because Rosalie couldn't afford to pay the full tuition. Since he arrived, he had never known a moment of peace.Every day was a struggle for him, and not a single day went by without facing bullying. He felt powerless to change his situation.He sat alone on a bench in the schoolyard, reading the book in his hands slowly.With his striking looks, he was undeniably the most handsome boy in school, which only fueled the jealousy of others, leading them to bully him every day."There he is!" he heard a voice tha
"What happened to her?" Cameron asked as soon as he reached Athena."I don't know, but her scream— it means Rose is in trouble," Athena mumbled, her face etched with worry and fear."Damn it!" Cameron exclaimed, snatching the phone from Athena."Hello?!" he shouted, but there was no response. Just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly heard a sinister laugh creeping through the line."Who are you? What are you doing to her?" Cameron asked, desperation lacing his voice as if he wanted to reach through the phone and snap the man's neck."You don't need to know what I'm going to do with my daughter," the man replied, his tone chilling. "I've been observing you. Are you sure you're her boss, or something else?" He erupted into a creepy laugh, causing Athena's eyes to widen in shock."Rosalie's father? Rose doesn't have a father; he died when she was just seven years old," Athena said, tears streaming down her face as she worried for her friend.Cameron turned to Athena, disbelief etched
Cameron sprinted toward the house, but as he reached the door and flung it open, a wave of flames surged out, knocking him back to the ground."Shit!" he muttered, wincing as he pushed himself up despite the pain in his back. He quickly realized that he couldn't enter through the door; the fire had completely engulfed it.Cameron began searching for another way into the house, but after walking around it, he found no doors or windows to enter.Suddenly, he was reminded of how Maya had died, and how he had felt powerless to save her until her last breath."No, I won't let her die. I must save her," Cameron mumbled, turning to head back to the door once more, but...He suddenly noticed a small hole in the wall and quickly moved closer to peek inside.Cameron's eyes widened in shock as he saw Rosalie tied to a chair in the middle of the room, unconscious after having screamed for help. The fire was rapidly approaching her."Thank goodness, at least the fire hasn't reached her. I need to
"I'm not telling you this because I'm scared of you, but I really want you to know that Rosalie is my daughter," the man said."They thought I was dead seven years ago, but I'm not," he continued, and Cameron recalled Athena mentioning something similar before—that Rosalie's father had died seven years ago."Is that all you know?" Cameron asked, struggling to believe it, yet it seemed the man was telling the truth."Of course, I know more," the man replied with a grin."Rosalie's mother fell ill after our eldest daughter died, and that's when the family fell apart—everything was ruined for them," he continued."Rosalie has an older sister who died? What was her name, and why are you still alive?" Cameron asked, curiosity evident on his face."That's when I might start to believe you a little," Cameron added, but the man merely scoffed."You think I'm going to tell you? You've heard enough, and I won't say anything else—except that my family deserves to die by my hand," the man replied
Rosalie woke up with a loud yawn, having spent the night in the hospital after talking and crying to Rebecca as if she could hear what she was saying.Having dozed off in the chair with her head resting on Rebecca's bed throughout the night, Rosalie was gazing at Rebecca's face when the door opened and a nurse walked in."Good morning, miss," the nurse greeted. Rosalie responded with a nod."I think you should rest as well; you look tired," the nurse said, concern etched on her face as she looked at Rosalie."I don't want to leave my mother. I should stay with her since I have nothing else to do," Rosalie mumbled, her voice weak."You don't need to worry about your mother. We'll take care of her as always, and we'll let you know as soon as she wakes up from the coma," the nurse reassured her. Rosalie hesitated for a moment before finally standing up from the chair."Okay, I'll leave, but please keep an eye on her," Rosalie said, and the nurse nodded before moving closer to Rebecca to
"Is he crazy? What kind of contract is this?" Rosalie mumbled before moving on to the next line."You'll start the training as soon as you move in with me.""You will no longer be a stripper for my customers..." it stated in the contract, and Rosalie hadn't read any further when she exhaled in relief."Thank goodness, I won't have to strip anymore. But how will I pay him back?" Rosalie mumbled, feeling confused as she began to read the rest of the contract."You'll be stripping exclusively for me." Rosalie's eyes widened in shock as she read that."What the hell is this?!" she gasped."Am I really expected to take off my clothes in front of him? No..." Rosalie shook her head vehemently."No, I can't do that. I can't live with him and also strip for him; my dignity would be ruined."Rosalie moved on to the next words. "Apart from paying your debt, you'll also be receiving a salary from me," she read and that caught her interest as her eyes moved to the signature."I've already signed i
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
