Declan Grayson is a hopeless romantic.
~~~ Gory scene ahead ~~~ “Algún último deseo? (Any last wishes?)” Rafaela was seated in her specially designed chair in the meeting ground of the Diaz Cartel. She was so aloof that the people sprawled on the floor before her wished for nothing more than to tear that expressionless face to shreds. As soon as she returned from Bloomsbay, she set a lot of traps to capture the traitors in the act. Betrayal was greatly frowned upon by the members of the Diaz Cartel. They forged their bond through a lot of battles and bloodshed, but they still emerged strong. They never got themselves involved in the shady deals of the other cartels. Rafaela ensured that no one in the cartel ever got involved in any deals apart from the drugs and ammunition that they sold for ages. No human trafficking or illegal organ harvesting was allowed. She even took steps to end the drug-trafficking wing of the cartel. However, since her sickness kicked in, she never had the time to think about any such activiti
[Pa!] [Pa!!] [Pa!!!] Several bullets were fired into various scattered positions in the building, and the occupants were terrified. Man after man fell. Startling the other guards on duty. Some were even speaking about random things, but before they realized it, one or both of them were already on the floor. Blood spilled everywhere, and bodies were equally scattered in all directions. However, the intruders were just getting started. They came for someone’s head, and they wouldn’t leave until they had it. Some buildings in the compound were already set on fire, and the occupants could be seen running helter-skelter. Nothing was done to indicate that the people came to capture anyone, and it was clear from their actions that they came for a certain person’s head. Amid the sudden attack, a woman who looked to be in her early fifties lay naked on her luxurious bed. A man of about twenty-five years, young enough to be her son, was crazily plummeting into her core. He was so de
[Knock!][Knock!!][Knock!!!] “Coming…” Lulu shouted from the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door. She only returned briefly from the tour and had three days before she hit the road with the songbird once more. They were not supposed to return until the following month, but certain situations beyond their control compelled them to return briefly and change their course of action. She rushed toward the door, spatula in hand, as she wondered whether her mother was expecting anyone so early in the morning. “Hello, who…” Lulu paused in shock, the rest of her words unable to come out of her lips. She was shocked to see him, and she couldn’t stop herself from wondering if he was stalking her or something. She returned late in the night the previous day and was certain that no one saw her, so how could he be here? “Boss Vicker,” She greeted him awkwardly, her hands still tightly held onto the door as she stood in the doorway, not opening it wide enough for him to step in. “Can
“Who are you?” Phyna screamed when she opened her door and realized that someone else was in the house, even before she got home. What’s more, she wasn’t expecting anyone. Instead of turning around and screaming for help or even calling the police, she reckoned that there was no need to attract undue attention to herself. She didn’t even believe anyone could hurt her anyway. She took a few steps into the room, intending to strain her neck just a little bit and take a look inside. After all, it could even be someone who was playing a prank on her. She experienced a lot of pranks throughout her career. If there was any sign of danger, she could always run. However, the uninvited guest suddenly grabbed her in a chokehold and remained in the same position till she began to lose her breath. “If you dare hurt me, you won’t get away with it. You…” She mumbled with the best voice she could muster, but before she could continue dishing out empty threats, he released her and roughly shoved
“Hello,” Selene said calmly before sitting across from Celeste. “Hello, Selene. Good to see you.” Celeste sat with both hands on the table, admiring the woman her daughter had grown to become. As she scrutinized her, she suddenly noticed that there was no ring on her finger, but a diamond necklace hung loosely on her neck. Celeste's smile was so bright that Selene felt uncomfortable under her gaze. She knew what her mother was looking at but didn’t know any conversation she could start about her ring. “Nice ring you have there,” Celeste remarked in admiration. She was happy that her daughter’s husband put a lot of thought into picking her ring. “Thank you.” Selene finally had a smile on her face when she responded. Selene unconsciously looked behind Celeste, only to find Tara walking toward them. She was so elated that Selene felt there was something different about her; Tara never liked Celeste and didn’t attempt to hide it. So, for her to walk towards them with such enthusiasm
“Boss Vicker, thank you for everything you’ve done for my family. Words cannot describe how grateful I am right now. You…” Lulu earlier agreed to have dinner with Boss Vicker in one of the fancy restaurants in town. However, as soon as she arrived, all she did was thank him again and again for everything he did for her family. He realized he wouldn’t get a proper talk with her if he didn't stop her in time. “You look so beautiful, Lulu. Seeing you go on and on about your family just makes me love you more and more. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'll be a complete man if you agree to marry me, Lulu. I know you’ve not had it easy for a long time, but I wouldn’t bother to continue caring for you and your family. " "You have already done enough, boss. I don't even have anything to offer you." Lulu reasoned in a low voice. "I already have everything I need. I also know you will afford the life you deserve soon enough because you are Mask Girl. But I want to be
“How is this possible!” Selene burst out in shock. She didn’t expect to see this so soon. It was only a few hours ago that she was with her mothers, only for the bloggers to quickly carry news that she was begging Celeste for a feature. She was certain that someone was tailing them, and they even went as far as exposing her relationship with Tara Anderson. She was certain that someone was paid to start another drama around her.Declan rushed into the room and asked in an urgent tone, “Bunny, are you okay?” He approached her steadily, wondering what could be the issue. Selene gave her phone to him and said, “Everyone says I got everything with connections. It feels so terrible when your hard work is downplayed in this manner, Daddy.”Her husband captured her into his arms and coaxed her gently. She was already trying to sleep when the news popped up. After Declan put her to sleep, he furiously dialled Racco’s number, “What the fu*k is your problem, Racco? Do I pay you to tell me you’
“Welcome to your new home, Lucinda.” Boss Vicker handed a set of keys to Lulu as they both stood in front of a five-bedroom mansion that looked as majestic as if it had just been pulled out of a painting. To top it all off, the house was in a location she could never have imagined. “Thank you so much, Boss Vi…, I mean, Vicker. Thank you for everything. I love the gift. It’s so beautiful.” Lulu exclaimed excitedly, earning a low chuckle from the older man beside her. Seeing how she admired the place, he was about to add a few more surprises when Lulu suddenly spoke out in a faint voice, “The rent here must cost a fortune.” He furrowed his brows and asked in amazement. “Rent?” Lulu didn’t catch on to what he meant but still nodded innocently. Boss Vicker felt amused at her ignorance. “I didn’t rent it, Lulu. I bought it. Houses at Peak View are not for rent.” The young lady’s mouth was suddenly in an 'O' shape when her brain registered what her husband said. The man brought her str
