Hera Delacruz thought she had escaped the shadows of her past. Once a fearless soldier, she sacrificed her career, her family, and her freedom to marry Mateo, the man she thought was her salvation. But love turned dangerous when rumors surfaced that Mateo, the feared "savior of the mafia", orchestrated her father’s death. Pregnant and heartbroken, Hera fled. Five years later, Hera lives a quiet, nomadic life with her daughter Mila, a bright, spirited child battling diabetes. Constantly on the move to evade Mateo’s relentless pursuit, Hera works as a waitress in a sleepy town, keeping her past hidden and her daughter safe. She’s a survivor, hardened by military training and sharpened by heartbreak. Mateo Delacruz is as ruthless as he is determined. Known as a savior to the criminal underworld, he has spent years hunting the only woman who dared defy him. When he finds Hera, he is prepared to bring her back into his world, but nothing prepares him for the revelation that she has been hiding his daughter. Now, with two Delacruz women to protect, Mateo will stop at nothing to reclaim his family. But the mafia doesn’t forgive easily. Mateo’s family and men resent Hera for abandoning them and leaving them in the hands of their merciless boss. As Hera fights to shield her daughter from the danger that follows Mateo, she must also confront her unresolved feelings for the man she once loved, and the truth about what happened to her father. Can they find a way to trust each other again, or will their pasts destroy the fragile bond between them?

Rafe suddenly entered my office, the sound of the door waking me from my trance."Aurellia- are you sure it was her?" I asked Rafe and he nodded at me but I could tell that it was eating him alive. "You ordered us to go check the pantry. Well there was blood on the freezer. I opened the- freezer and found her lying inside. They shot her three times, Mateo. And Mila- she must've seen it happen-" he uttered so I pulled him into a hug. He started sobbing into my shirt and I bit back tears of my own. "Listen to me Salvador men don't cry." I told him before flaring my nostrils in anger. "We take action and we avenge those that we have lost at the hands of our enemies." I angrily told him. "I will kill the man who did this, his entire family and mafia if that's what it takes. But I will avenge my cousin's life." I promised him. "Do what you have to do, Rafe. Once y
I parked behind an abandoned warehouse before jumping out of my car. I placed my hand on my gun, but I knew I couldn't take it out yet, in case I was being watched.I walked into the abandoned building, my footsteps loudly echoing throughout the empty room. This place is like a maze; if I don't stay focused, I could easily get lost in here. I walked straight ahead until I saw a dark figure in the distance. It looked like a man hanging from the ceiling. Once I recognized him as Tiago I ran to him. I knelt in front of him before taking his pale face into my hands. "Are you okay?" I asked without expecting an answer. My eyes scanned over the chains he was hanging from before getting back up to my feet. I grabbed my gun before aiming it at the chains, but as I was about to pull the trigger, the sound of slow clapping caught my attention. I turned around and found Cara with five men standing behind her. I could easily take them out. YesI have enough ammo, I can fight and I'm not sca

"What do you mean Tiago is gone?" I asked Rafe in confusion. "He disappeared last night. God knows where he went." Rafe said before scratching the back of his head. "Have you tried calling his mom? Maybe he went home. He's still injured." I uttered in concern. "I did, she says she hasn't seen him since we got back." He answered and a deep frown settled on my forehead. "Should I be worried?" I genuinely wanted to know and his jaw clenched. "At the moment, yes. People have been treating us differently lately." He stated and I frowned at him. "You mean, they don't respect us anymore," I uttered and he just silently stared at me. "All I'm saying is that Santiago is an easy target at the moment and I'm sure he has his enemies, as we all do," Rafe uttered before lightly scratching his chin. "What did Mateo say? Are you guys gonna go looking for him?" I asked Rafe who shook his head at me. "No, Tiago is no longer part of our mafia. Not after all the shit that went do
I stood in Mateo's warm embrace, my eyes filled with tears. He kept holding me, placing kisses on my head but this feeling just wouldn't go away. It stuck to me like bubblegum to the bottom of a shoe."Mateo, what's taking them so long? They've been in there for 30 minutes. I want to see my daughter." I uttered while pleadingly looking up into his eyes. "They're almost done," he uttered in a gentle tone and I wrapped my arms around him. I heard the door opening behind us so I swung around before rushing into the room. I picked Mila up into my arms and she tightly held onto me. There was life in her eyes again. She didn't seem as shocked as she did before, and she hugged me back. I placed her on the ground before taking her face into my hands. "Mila, are you okay?" I asked in a gentle tone and she nodded at me with a small smile on her face. "What happened?" I asked and she just quietly stared at me. The doctor cleared his throat so I turned to face him. I got up from where I was
WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT!After my fifth orgasm, Mateo roughly placed me on top of him. He gripped my wrists in one hand behind my back while the other hand tightly pressed me against him.He pushed his cock deep into my pussy before slamming into my throbbing hole at the speed of light. Our ragged breaths mingled as I placed a kiss on his lips. The sound of our skins touching and my moans suddenly became the only sound in the room. Mateo hit my ass, surely leaving a mark behind, and the sound echoed through the room. I broke our kiss when I felt another orgasm nearing. Mateo's muscles flexed beneath me, and he held a firm grip on my waist. I felt him shooting his seed deep inside my pussy and I let out a loud moan as I started clenching around him. He slowly pulled out of me and my legs tiredly shook at the impact of my orgasm. Mateo grabbed my ass in his hand, his thick cock grazing my clit as I lay on top of him. "Tell me-" he uttered before adjusting himself beneath me, "do yo
I stepped out of my car, two of my bodyguards following closely behind me. I was dressed in a short black dress paired with knee high boots and a cream colored blazer draped over my shoulders. I made my way up to the large building in front of me. Natura Wave Enterprises. Our- transporting company.Ramón Mendoza also known as the Alpha is the owner of this company and I came here today to pay him a visit. We were met with a young lady at the door who was seemingly in her early twenties. Her personality was bubbly and warm and she was wearing a bright yellow pant suit. "This way, Mrs Delacruz. Mr Ramón is waiting for you in his office." She stated with a bright smile on her face.We stepped into the elevator and waited for a minute before the elevator doors opened again. We entered an office with beautiful landscapes of the city, black leather couches, a table made out of glass and a white clock on an empty wall decorated the room. I smiled when I saw a man sitting behind the desk
"Hera! Where's Hera? Where is your doña?" I heard an angered voice screaming my name. A light frown settled on my forehead once my eyes rested on a woman, seemingly my age. "I'm here." I calmly uttered and she angrily came storming at me. A few gasps filled the room when the woman raised her hands at me, and as she was about to hit me, I grabbed ahold of her wrist. "My husband is dead because of you. You bitch!" She angrily yelled at me. "Solidad? Are you trying to get yourself killed? You're talking to the doña, not one of your friends.""I know who I'm talking to and this bitch didn't deserve Chris's loyalty! She's a traitor to this mafia and everyone in it! She shot the don, for the love of God, and you guys are standing here, kissing her ass. You're all just like her, that's why you still call her your doña. My Chris was too good for you. All of you!" She angrily yelled at us. "You're right, I didn't deserve his loyalty. But I did
Tiago successfully managed to get back inside the house without getting himself shot, Rafe and Mila followed shortly after. Mateo was still outside fighting alongside our men. "The garage!" Rafe yelled before sprinting toward the garage and we all followed suit. As we entered the garage, the sound of gunshots became louder, and Mila desperately held onto Rafe. We were all relieved to find Leonardo's old Mustang still in the garage. Rafe grabbed the keys off the wall before unlocking the doors. Tiago got in on the passenger seat while I jumped in on the backseat. Rafe started the engine with ease, we waited for the garage door to open and drove out of it at the speed of lightning. The gunshots became louder and louder until we were about a mile away from the house. "Is everyone okay?" I asked in concern and they all mumbled out a "yes," which made me let out a soft breath of relief. "Mila, are you
I grabbed Mila's gloved hand before leaving the diner I worked in. It had become dark outside, and the streets were quiet, cold, and covered in snow. The streetlights were dim and weary as they fought hard against the cold. "Mommy, I'm cold," Mila whined and I worriedly looked around me as we walked over to my car. "I know, baby. We're almost at the car." I cooed at her as we quietly continued our walk down the sidewalk. I wouldn't usually have Mila out in the cold this late but I can't trust her with a nanny or a daycare. Now she spends her afternoons with me at the diner. Mila suddenly stopped in her tracks before bending down to pick something up. "My bracelet!" She yelled out in panic so I bent down to help her look for it. "Did it fall over here?" I asked her in a gentle tone and she nodded at me in response. "There!" She excitedly yelled out before running over to her bracelet lying in the snow. "Mila watch out for the cars!" I yelled out before running after h...
