"Familia, amigos, estamos aquí hoy para celebrar la vida de nuestro verdadero salvador, Jesucristo. Disfruta de este festín que te he preparado, lo mío es tuyo." Mateo said and everyone raised their champagne glasses in the air. (Family, friends, we are here today to celebrate the life of our true savior, Jesus Christ. Enjoy this feast that I've prepared for you, what's mine is yours.) "Por favor, demos la bienvenida a mi hermosa esposa y a nuestra hija Mila. Serán tratados con respeto y los honraréis. Estas son mis ordenes." Mateo continued, and the room dawned in silence before everyone brought their hands together in a praying manner. (Please welcome back my beautiful wife, and our daughter Mila. They will be treated with respect and you will honor them. These are my orders.) Mateo sat back down before he gestured for the music to continue. I saw Cara waving at Mila so I frowned at Mateo. "She's a friend." He said, knowing what I was about to ask. "I didn't know you
I watched as Mateo and his mom came walking back inside the dining hall. Aurellia and Martín followed shortly behind them. I finally managed to get Mila back from that vampire, Cara. After talking to Umberto and Javi, we decided to go back to our table, and now she was holding onto my hand while she ate a cupcake that Umberto gave her. "Hi Mila, I'm Mateo's mom. It's so nice to finally meet you." Lola told Mila who smiled up at her. "Nice to meet you too." Mila kindly told Lola who nodded at her with a smile on her face. "You're very kind, Mila," Lola told her with a kind smile on her face and Mila looked down at the cupcake in her hand. "May I get a hug?" Lola asked Mila, and she looked back up before she slowly nodded at Lola, and Lola picked her up into her arms. "Oh, you're so pretty; you're a replica of your mom," Lola told her before tickling her and Mila laughed at her actions. "She's so precious," Lola told Mateo. She was avoiding eye contact with me; she cl
***I stumbled against a tree trunk and rushed to get up from the ground. I desperately tried to catch my breath, but my chest was burning, and my heart was aching. I got back up to my feet and continued running through the woods. I came to an abrupt stop when I reached an old graveyard.All the graves were covered in grass, their tombstones shattered to pieces except for one grave in particular. I hesitantly took a step forward. I sucked in a deep breath before carefully walking over to the only standing tombstone in the entire graveyard.I frowned when I saw my name engraved on the tombstone. "Hera Delacruz."Something was written in fine print under my name, so knelt in front of the grave before narrowing my eyes to better my vision. "Like father, like daughter." I read the fine print out loud. I wildly shook my head before getting up from where I was sitting and the ground beneath my feet gave way from under me. A scream left my mouth as I fell into the grave.***"Mommy!""Mo
"Lola, welcome," I said as she stepped over the threshold. She gave me a tight smile before her expression shifted to one of cool assessment. Her eyes swept me up and down without a word before she brushed past me, leaving me to press my lips together awkwardly. "Hola, Martín," I greeted warmly, and he responded with a friendly smile before stepping inside. Aurellia stood still for a moment, her gaze cold and indifferent. She walked past without a word. "Hello to you too, Aurellia," I muttered under my breath, tired of the silent hostility. Beside me, Mila clung to my hand, her big eyes watching the exchange. "She seems mad at you, Mommy," Mila whispered, her innocence cutting through the tension. "She does, doesn’t she?" I replied with a wry smile, and Mila nodded solemnly. Her mood brightened as she spotted the next arrival. "Here comes Uncle Tiago!" she exclaimed, tugging at my hand. Tiago approached with his usual swagger, something hidden behind his back. "The man,
This has been a long night.I quietly sat at our table while watching Mila playing with her friends. Everyone was off conversing or dancing to the music that the live band provided. Everyone here fits in somewhere, except me. I don't belong here. I looked over at Mateo, and a tight and painful knot started to form in my throat. I don't recognize him anymore. He's the complete opposite of the person he used to be when we first met. He never told me what to do or who to talk to. God knows why he's doing so now.My phone suddenly made a pinging sound so I grabbed it from where it was lying on the table. A notification popped up on the screen so I quickly clicked on it. I waited as my messenger app opened. I saw a message from an unknown number. I opened the message and a frown settled on my forehead. A picture. I adjusted my brightness and could finally make out what the picture displayed. My eyes went wide in shock. I left the dinner table before stumbling into a random bathroom.
"Take her away." He angrily told Rafe who nodded at him before he grabbed me by my waist. I fought against him with everything inside of me. I scratched and punched him in the face as hard as I could. Rafe grunted in frustration before he tightened his grip around my waist.He finally managed to pull me away from Tiago and I angrily hit him in the abdomen with my elbows. Still, he didn't let me go. "Let me go!" I angrily yelled at him as he started carrying me over to a black Jeep. He reluctantly placed me on the ground but kept his arms tightly locked around me."Mateo!" I yelled when I saw him pointing his gun at Tiago's lifeless body on the ground. "If you shoot him, I will kill you myself! God knows I will and I will hold this against you forever." I promised him and he angrily tucked his gun back inside his waistband. He came walking over to me, and suddenly, I remembered the gun I had strapped to my leg earlier. I clenched my jaw before grabbing the gun and pointing it at Mat
The air in the room felt thick and heavy with the weight of everything that had just happened. Rafe took Mila to her room and I followed Mateo down a narrow hallway, leading us into a small, dimly lit bedroom. The door clicked shut behind us.I didn’t say anything at first. I just stood there, my mind still racing from everything that happened in the past few hours. The blood, the chaos, the gunshot that echoed through the night. The memory of Tiago’s lifeless body haunted me, his vacant eyes flashing in my mind like a cruel reminder of just how much had gone wrong.Mateo leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, and he studied me with those cold, calculating eyes. "You're pissed. I get it," he said finally, his voice low. "But you had no right to shoot me, Hera."I couldn’t bring myself to meet his gaze, my fists clenched at my sides. "You had no right to-" I stopped myself, shaking my head, trying to get my thoughts in order. “You just- you didn’t care, Mateo. Not about me, not
WARNING: CONTAINS SEXUAL CONTENTI got up from where I was lying and placed passionate kisses down Mateo's neck. I trailed my fingers over his bandaged shoulder before placing a gentle kiss on it.He took my face in his hands before crashing his lips against mine. My eyes slowly fluttered shut, I was completely and utterly consumed by him. Every bone inside my body ached for him with need.He covered my breasts with his large hands, his thumbs lightly brushing over my sensitive nipples and I moaned at the sensation. His head dipped as he sucked one of my nipples between his teeth and I moaned out in pleasure. He teasingly trailed one of his hands down to my throbbing core. He pushed my legs apart with his feet before he started circling his thumb on my wet and throbbing clit. My breathing hitched as I focused solely on the feeling between my legs. He gripped my chin in his hands and our eyes locked. He slowly slid two of his fingers into my tight and ready little hole. My lips sligh
MateoI paced up and down the marble floors in my office. I angrily wiped the tears away that threatened to escape my eyes. 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
