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,

  • His Ruthless Pursuit   The Picture

    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

    I woke up with the sun blinding my vision as it streamed through the curtains. I spotted an alarm clock on the bedside table and frowned when I saw that it was already past ten am. I turned around and found that the bed was empty beside me. Why did no one wake me up?I carefully climbed out of bed and pursed my lips together at the pain between my legs. I smiled to myself before excitedly pacing about the room. Memories of the previous night flooded my mind. I bit down on my bottom lip to keep myself from squealing excitedly. I looked at my naked form in the mirror and found hickeys on my neck and shoulders. Mateo's fingerprints tattooed my waist. I was consumed by butterflies at the mere thought of him.I opened his closet and grabbed one of his shirts from it along with a pair of shorts that I found in one of his drawers.I searched the room for my phone and found it on the bedside table. I frowned when I saw a note lying next to it. I grabbed the piece of paper before carefull

    I suspiciously eyed the grey-haired woman in front of me. She seemed so kind and harmless just a few minutes ago. Turns out she was sent here to kill me. "Who do you work for?" I asked Martha. God, I don't even know if her real name is Martha. "I don't know. I'm an assassin. Well, I used to be. The bottom line is I prefer not to know my clients. This one was no different; he called me, sent me your information, made the payment, and now I'm here." She uttered and I looked at her in disbelief. An elderly assassin, I never thought I'd see the day. "You tried to kill me," I uttered in disbelief. "But I didn't. Besides, my client gave me a choice. It was either you or Mila and since I don't kill children, I chose to kill you." She openly admitted and my heart dropped. "But- for the first time since I started doing this job, I couldn't go through with it. Usually, my targets are rich assholes, murderers, ex-cons, you name it. But they're never kind." She admitted while staring deep

    After dinner I stood on wobbly legs. I hastily made my way out of the restaurant and Mateo followed me outside."Be a good girl and drive home as fast as you can." Mateo told me before hitting my ass. I bit into my bottom lip and watched him confidently walking back to his car. I grabbed my keys from the valet before climbing into my car. I drove ahead of him and made my way home deciding that I was tired of being so deliciously tortured by him. That I needed him inside of me.Once I parked my car in it's usual spot in the mansion parking lot I jumped out of the vehicle. Mateo had his car parked next to mine, he placed a passionate kiss on my lips once I reached him. We made our way into the house, I ran upstairs and Mateo hit my ass while following me to our room. I opened the door and froze in my spot when I found Mila asleep in our bed."Cold shower." I told Mateo and he nodded at me. "Definitely." He uttered and we sneaked into the room and grabbed our bath essentials. We took

    WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT!I stepped out of the elevator and made my way to Mateo's office. Every employee I passed kindly greeted me. I took my sunglasses off and placed them into my bag. I reached to knock on the door but it swung open before I could do so. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Cara walking out of Mateo's office, she fixed her lipgloss then her hair before smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at her and made my way into Mateo's office. I slammed the door in her face before going over to Mateo."Mateo, what the hell was that woman doing in your office?" I angrily asked him. "She came to hand in her resignation." Her calmly stated. "I already fired her, Mateo! Did you let her work here after I fired her as Mila's babysitter?" I wildly asked him and his eyes slowly ran over me as if he just noticed that I was wearing his favorite color. "I did." He blankly uttered so I walked over to where he was sitting. I angrily glared down at him before pointing my index finger at him.

    I walked into the Salvador mansion with Mila by my side. I could already feel the shift that was about to happen. Mila ran upstairs to go put her backpack in her room so I decided to wait for her inside the living room and found Lola sitting on a couch, she put her phone aside and placed all her focus on me."Hera? Where have you been?" Lola curiously asked me as soon as I entered the living room. "I was in town- doing some shopping-- but I couldn't find anything I liked so I decided to come back home." I lied to her through my teeth and Lola just nodded at me. "And have you calmed down yet, since this morning?" She asked me. "Yes, Lola. I'm not leaving my husband, if that's what you're asking." I uttered in annoyance and she smiled at me. "That's good," she told me and a document lying on the table caught my eye. I narrowed my eyes to read what it said and found that it was the results of a paternity test. "The results came back positive." She told me and I faked shock. "Wow wh

    I sat in a dark basement, scared of what might happen next. The door suddenly opened and I sat upright before backing into the wall behind me."Hera, follow me," I heard a familiar voice. I slapped myself as I got up from the ground. I followed the person outside since I couldn't get a good look at them in the dark. Once we got outside an old man stood in front of me, his back facing me. His hair was grey and his hands were behind back. He was wearing a black ring on his ring finger with the crest of the Salvador mafia carved into it. But how?"Leonardo?" I uttered in disbelief. "Yes, child." He uttered before turning around to face me and my mouth went agape. He seemed much older now, he had wrinkles around his eyes, they were still as blue as ever.I took his face into my hands to check if he was real and he was- real. Alive. I wordlessly watched him and he showed no emotions on his face. "Yes. I'm alive, Hera." He assured me before opening his arms for me. I skeptically watched

    The next morning everyone sat at the breakfast table, quiet and unmoving. Not even Mila had something to say and she's usually the most talkative person in the mornings.Mateo looked around the table before frowning at me so I shrugged at him in response. Uncle Charlie and Aunt Maya just quietly ate their breakfast and kept to themselves."Did something happen that I should know about?" Mateo asked and Lola frowned over at him. "Is something wrong, son?" Martín asked Mateo. "I'm not your son, Martín." Mateo tiredly told him and my eyes slightly widened at his words. "Lola wants me to fix things between you and Dario." I blurted the words out and Lola angrily glared over at me. "Because you're the one who screwed them up in the first place." She angrily told me. "How? By telling my husband that his brother was doing dealings with his enemies behind his back?" I asked Lola and she set her fork down on the table, trying her best not to lose her temper. "And then he tried to kill me

    I pulled the black beanie I was wearing over my ears and quietly walked through the gates of the Salvador mansion. I was escorted by a guard, we sneaked around the back of the house and I entered the house through the backdoor.Lola frowned at me when she saw me. "Hera, where the hell have you been? One of the kids just called asking if we were expecting guests." She told me. "Who exactly called you?" I curiously wanted to know. "Carlos, he stands guard at the gate.""Have you informed Mateo about this, yet? I didn't get the chance to." I asked and followed her into the living room. "Yes, he says he's not far from the house, that he'll be here in five minutes." Lola answered before sitting down on a sofa. "You're sitting down?" I asked her in disbelief and she frowned at me. "I'm not doing anything until my son gets here. I'll wait for his orders." She blankly stated. "You do realize who's standing in front of your house right now, don't you?" I asked her and she nodded at me.

They smiled and waved at Mila and she tightly clenched her fists around the straps of her backpack.Mateo lifted Mila up before placing her in the backseat. Once he was done buckling her seatbelt we both climbed inside the car. The family insisted on being there for Mila on her first day of school and we simply couldn't refuse them. We drove to Mila's school, she couldn't stop talking about how excited she was about her new school. I was scared for my daughter and nervous all at the same time. I don't want this cruel world to know her. My beautiful little girl. We stopped in front of the St. Marks school campus, Mila jumped out of the car and I handed her backpack to her before I knelt in front of her. "Come on, give me a good one." I told her and she placed a kiss on my cheek before wrapping her tiny arms around me. "Te quiero mucho, Mami." She smiled at me so I brushed my hands o

True love only comes once in our lifetime and death is simply the tax that we pay for love. "Mommy," Mila curiously uttered from where she was resting her head on my lap. "Yes, mi cielo." I smiled down at her and she lifted her head. "When are we leaving?" She curiously wanted to know and I frowned at her. "You want to leave?" I asked her in a gentle tone and she nodded at me in response. "Why?" I asked again. "I don't like it here, Mommy." She told me and I frowned at her."Then what do you suggest we do?" I asked her and she pressed her lips together. "I want to go to school." She said and I tried my best not to

    I quietly sat in the living room while holding onto Mateo's arm, I had rested my head on his shoulder a while ago and I wasn't planning on moving it anytime soon."We recently found Aurellia's body in the pantry. She was shot three times. She was caught off guard. And yes Aurellia was one of our best fighters but the enemy doesn't care if it's a fair fight or not, you've seen it yourselves.
