Cameron's POV
Next 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 accompany me on a mission tonight, and Brandon and Harper will join us as usual," I ordered. "Yes, boss," they replied, bowing their heads. Harper was the one who brought Rosalie to my chamber yesterday; she was the strongest female member of the gang, while Brandon held the title of the strongest male. I selected eight more members, and everything was in place as I began making my way outside, with Jack closely following behind. These days, many people have been offending and disobeying me, and I need to teach them a lesson and... It's because they all want to uncover the identity of the person behind this successful clan, but I can't let them know until I achieve my goals. My target for tonight knows too much about me and is currently trying to uncover my identity. That makes him a threat that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. "Where are we going, boss?" Jack asked as we reached the car parked outside. "We're heading to the cemetery," I replied. Jack understood immediately. I slid into the back seat while Jack took his place in the front with the driver, but... Throughout the ride, she was the only one occupying my thoughts. I couldn't bring myself to stop, even though I wanted to; her innocent face was driving me wild. "She's only driving me crazy. Maya is the one who can truly capture my heart. What I feel for her is just lust," I thought, as a smile crept across my face while I considered all the possible ways to wipe that innocent look from her face. "We're here, boss," Jack announced as the car came to a halt, pulling me out of my thoughts. "You can wait; I'll go in myself," I said. "Yes, boss," they responded. I stepped out of the car and made my way into the cemetery. "Good morning, sir," the staff greeted me as I passed, but I maintained a straight face as I walked toward Maya's grave with flowers in my hand. When I got there, I placed the flower on her grave and knelt beside it. "Today marks five years since you and our unborn child left me," I murmured with a sad smile. "As always, no one can take your place in my heart, nor that of our baby." "Just like every year, I'm here to seek your forgiveness, as I always do..." "I'm sorry for everything you’ve gone through because of me, and I'm sorry to our unborn baby, you both ended up here because of me," I said, my voice heavy with emotion. "Today marks another year since I promised to take revenge for you and our unborn child, and I will always cherish you in my heart." I continued to gaze at her picture on the grave, a deep sadness etched on my face. Determined not to leave until nightfall, I resolved to spend the rest of the day with them. So she and my baby won’t feel lonely in heaven. I continued to gaze at her innocent, smiling face until I sensed someone watching me from behind. I quickly turned around, but there was no one there, leaving me with a surprised expression. "I'm sure someone is watching me," I thought. ___ Night had finally fallen, and four cars came to a stop at the target's house. I stepped out of the first car, having arrived alone with Jack in a separate car. With everything meticulously planned by the clan, five members leaped over the fence and swiftly took down the two guards at the gate before opening it from the inside. As I entered the compound with the rest of the members, a wicked smile spread across my face at the sight of more guards rushing toward us. "This is what I like the most; it's going to be spicy tonight," I mumbled, adjusting my mask before taking down the first man who charged at me. I wore a mask to keep my identity hidden for now. The fight had been going on for more than twenty minutes, but more guards kept pouring in. "That bastard is really prepared for this; he knew this day would come. But I won’t let him escape. I might take him down today," I thought with a scoff, continuing to take down the guards. Almost fifty guards had been taken down, and they were unable to harm any of my members, despite their strength. My members, however, were well-trained, and it wouldn’t be easy to take any of them down. Amid the chaos, I spotted my target attempting to escape through a hidden exit in the compound, but I caught sight of him just in time. A smirk crept across my lips. "That's perfect; you've made it easy for me to finish you," I said with a sinister tone before going after him, leaving the guards in the capable hands of my members. He dashed outside the compound, heading for a car. But as he saw me closing in, he hesitated, knowing I would catch him if he tried to get inside. He continued to run down the quiet road, and I pursued him relentlessly. I could have used my gun on him, but I wanted him to see me before he took his last breath. Instead, I decided to use a different trick and suddenly vanished from the road. The man turned around when he realized no one was pursuing him anymore. "Oh my Goodness! That monster! I’ll make sure I find out who you are and expose you to the other Mafia bosses. After that, I can die peacefully," he said, breathing heavily. "It'll never happen," I said suddenly from behind him, causing him to turn around in fear. "You... you... how can..." he stuttered, and I grinned. "So you're actually scared of me, yet you still dared to try to find out who I am after all the warnings I've given you?" "I'm sorry! I swear, I won't do it again!" he pleaded, tears rolling down his face, though I knew they were fake. "I don't give second chances, but I can grant you one wish: to see my face. Then you can die peacefully." "I'm sorry, please forgive me. I don't want to see your face again, but please let me—" He couldn't finish his sentence as I removed my mask. The moment I took it off, his eyes widened in shock. "Cameron Rodriguez," he mumbled, his mouth agape in disbelief. Only a few people in this country wouldn't recognize me. They know me as the club and stripper boss, not as a mafia leader. "You're surprised? Too bad; you'd be gone right now and wouldn't be able to expose me to other mafia bosses," I said with a wicked smile. "Please, I didn't know it was you! Please..." Before he could finish his plea, I pulled out my gun from my pocket and, without a second thought, shot him twice in the forehead. He collapsed to the ground, lifeless. "Ahhhh!" I heard someone scream from behind me. I quickly put on my mask before turning around to face the last person I expected to see. Rosalie stood frozen in place with a frightening look on her face. "Did she see my face, or is she just scared because of the man I killed?" I couldn't help but wonder. She remained frozen in place, her fear palpable. As I began to walk toward her, she finally started to retreat. "Please don't kill me! I swear I won't tell anyone! I've erased everything from my memory as if I never saw anything in the first place. Please!" she pleaded, tears streaming down her from her eyes. I scoffed softly. "So she’s this soft yet had the audacity to insult me like a brave girl." I moved closer to her in silence, but suddenly, Rosalie's eyes began to close, and before I knew it, she passed out.Rosalie's POV "You're fired!" my boss bellowed, and all I could think about was escaping the chaos in my mind. Blood streamed from his head, a sight that sent chills down my spine.Yet, what truly terrified me was the realization that I was the one responsible for it.A smirk crept onto my face as I masked my true feelings with a facade of confidence. I was aware that he could have pressed charges against me, but I knew he wouldn’t dare; he had just attempted to make an inappropriate advance toward me."Good, because I’m done with your fucking job!" I shouted as I stormed out of his office. I could feel my colleagues' gazes on me, but I didn’t care; I just wanted to get out of the building. A bruise on the side of my lip throbbed from the slap I had received for refusing to comply with him.I should have seen the signs all along; I could have known this was coming. There were times when I caught him looking at me inappropriately, and he often made sexual advances. At the time, I brus
Cameron's POV"Please, put the gun down! Don't shoot!" My voice reverberates through the living room as I attempt to stop my father's gang. The air is thick with tear gas, making it impossible to see anything. They found her in the house, she was pregnant. My life flashed before my eyes when I heard the gunshot, followed by the roar of a vehicle speeding away."No, no," I cried, rushing to Maya's side. Blood was seeping from her stomach, and my tears flowed freely as I saw her lying in a pool of cold blood. Time seemed to freeze, and I felt my own blood trickle as I cradled Maya's lifeless body in my arms. A chilling breeze brushed against the back of my neck and ears, like a cold finger, and suddenly, my world plunged into an unnatural darkness, as if all the light had vanished, just as Maya took her last breath in my embrace.A surge of anger welled up within me as I grabbed the gun from the ground, ready to pursue them. But I was halted when I felt a firm grip on my wrist—Jack h
Rosalie's POVI slumped on the couch in the living room, feeling utterly defeated; I failed the job interview I went for earlier, and It had been a long day, and exhaustion weighed heavily on me as Athena walked in through the door."Hey, baby! I'm back!" she exclaimed cheerfully, rushing over to wrap me in a warm hug.I was taken aback as she finally pulled away. "I have some great news for you, Rose!"My heart lifted at her words. "Really? What is it?" I asked, a smile spreading across my face, eager to hear what she had to share."I finally found you a job!" Athena exclaimed, her face beaming with excitement, and my eyes widened in surprise."Are you serious?" I asked, a wave of happiness washing over me as she nodded enthusiastically."Oh my goodness! What kind of job is it?" I asked eagerly."There’s a vacancy at our club, and you’d be working as a stripper," Athena revealed, and my expression instantly darkened as I stood up from the couch."What do you mean, Athena? What kind o
Cameron's POV "Shoot him" I commanded, my voice devoid of emotion as I stared at the traitor before me, blood seeping from every wound on his body. I felt no sympathy; all I wanted was for him to die—now."Please, boss, have mercy! Just give me one more chance, and I swear I won't betray you again," he begged, his voice trembling. He was bound to a chair, just like last time, but now his fingers and toes were all cut-off. He was alive, yet his soul was utterly gone."You want another chance? But you betrayed me in the first place, and I don't offer second chances. You should have thought about the consequences before acting," I said coldly."I'm sorry," the man pleaded, his voice trembling. "My daughter was sick, and I need money for her medicine. I never intended to steal from you." Tears mingled with the blood on his face as he spoke."That's an unacceptable excuse. If you needed money, you could have asked me, but instead, you chose to steal my goods and sell them to my rival. How
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 crowde
