Reina Carlo was forged by the Stingers, a shadowy organization that raised her to be a weapon. Her memories of a family—a mother’s face or a father’s embrace—were long lost, replaced by the harsh discipline and ruthless training of her surrogate family. To her, the Stingers were everything, until betrayal shattered the fragile foundation of her loyalty. Now, Reina walks the streets as the hunter, her mission deeply personal. A man who dared to strip away her last shred of innocence must face the consequences. Her scars are tools, her training a guide, and by sunrise, her vengeance will be complete. But each kill leaves a stain on her soul, no matter how she rationalizes it. She tells herself the trade is fair: she removes monsters, and the world lets her survive another day. Redemption and forgiveness don’t belong in her world—they are luxuries for those unbroken by life. Yet the nightmares persist, whispering of a stolen past and a family that might still exist. Did they abandon her, or did they think her lost? These thoughts claw at her resolve, forcing her to confront a truth she can’t bury: forgetting isn’t the same as letting go. Her pact with Marco Alessandro—a powerful, calculating man—only adds to her turmoil. Their marriage of convenience grants her the resources to find her family and avenge her past. But Marco’s unrelenting gaze and quiet intensity break through her defenses, challenging the walls she’s built. As vengeance, love, and identity collide, Reina faces a choice: cling to the darkness she knows or risk everything for a future she can’t predict. In this world of shadows and betrayal, Reina Carlo fights not just to survive—but to discover who she truly is.
View More~Reina's Pov~Marco was busy with Giorgia and the guest while Roy and the others can't to meet me in the corner. And it was time for the couple dance. They got in-between the silk material of blue and silver combined with the chandelier light shinning on them. She has a big fat smile on her face while Marco was just Marco and had no emotion on his face. I watched as they danced, his hands on her hip and her hands around his neck as they slowly moved. She placed her head on his shoulder and I just remained in the showers watching and cheering for them. I was about to leave when I heard the next sound, I froze up. That was the same song Marco and I danced to while I was at his mother's house and while the song played I told him a bunch of things. I turned to him and my eyes catch his immediately. He took had a puzzled look, like he was thinking about something. While they danced, a tear escaped from my eyes which I am sure Marco saw but I turned my face away and walked away from the
~Reina's Pov~I was called up for a meeting and left Roy to finish all the preparation or try to finish before I get back. I walked up to Marco's office and he and Giorgia sat beside each other. Giorgia kept kissing his cheek and smiling against his cheek. I just inhaled and waited to know why I am here. "So from now on, you will be Giorgia personally maid. You will still do all the house work but you will be with her all the time until she is tired of you being around her." Marco spoke up and I had to visibly show my disgust to what he was saying. "And if I refuse?" I spoke up. Marco moved forward, looking at me puzzled, "last time I checked, maids do not have any right choose anything, they do whatever they are told."I just nodded and was about to walk away when that annoying voice from behind me spike up, "can I get a glass of cold water, I'm thirsty." She had this big smirk on her face, a smirk of victory but she has forgotten she has not won, not yet. I nodded to that from he
~Reina's Pov~I followed Roy and we arrived at the place where Inizio was kept. I walked in and headed to the basement immediately. The basement needed a password and voice recognition and only my voice could open it. I made it like that to avoid problem later in the future. Inizio was seated, drenched in sweat as he looked down breathing heavily. I turned on the fan for little air to blow him and he seemed a little relaxed after I did that. He looked up and he seemed to have been crying for days, swollen mouth, face and eyes, red eyes and little tears bruise. He looked up with his swollen mouth and the sight of him was laughable. "Where do you think Alvaro is now?" I asked, dragging a chair to sit down. He just chuckled and coughed right after, never saying a word. I pulled out my taser gun from my jacket pocket and showed it to him. I know he misses it and I was not even in the mood to talk right now so I will just let him to the talking, by screaming. I placed the gun on his ne
~Reina's Pov~I slept for a few hours before getting up to get the whole house set for the day I had already triggered something in Marco and I was avoiding his bad side because I know what he could do to me, after all in his eyes, I'm just a maid. I dusted all the furniture, and made food, just some normal pancakes, coffee, eggs and just the random morning breakfast. Everyone came downstairs and sat o the table, few eyes were sent to me, some broken, some sad, some telling to just jang on a little bit. I stood there at the corner and I was later dismissed by Marco before they started eating. I sat in the kitchen to eat and I saw Marilyn come in with her food to eat with me on the ground. She say down without saying a word to me and I turned to face her. Tears started rolling down my eyes, I was defeated. If I was defeated in any other way, it would not have broke me down completely but I was defeated with the only thing I was happy with, my love. "Do you know I see him in my thou
~Reina's Pov~Marco was back and refused to eat and went to sleep immediately. I had left him a letter hoping he will read it to trigger something in his head but I did not want to push it too far, little by little I was going to get him back.I sat inside Silver and Marilyn's room and they were asleep as well. I opened the window, sat at the window side and read Marco's letter finally.'My Dove, I do not know how to compose a letter or talk about my feelings in it but let us see how things go.From the moment you walked into my life, you changed everything. I was a man who believed in nothing but power and survival, a man who knew that love was a weakness, I saw women as objects to be possessed. But you shattered every belief I held. You burned through my defenses like fire, and I never stood a chance against you.I never wanted to love. But loving you wasn’t a choice. It was inevitable. It was written into my bones, into my soul. I wake up every day knowing that no matter what happ
~Reina's Pov~I removed all my things from his room and took it to the room where Marilyn, Silver and I will be sharing. Sharing with the girls is not such a bad idea but I want to stay with Marco. The following day, in the evening, Marco came back home. I was dressed as a maid as I watch Giorgia support him smiling at him while he smiled back. Is he really better off without me? Silver held my hand, holding it tightly in her as she looked at me, comforting me with her eyes because words won't heal me. I still have not opened Marco's letter but I will after I finish with everyone. Marilyn was recognised by Marco because he knew her father Luciano and Marilyn was ready to marry Marco at some point. He stood to face the family and was as cold as ever. It is as if Marco was resist back to being a monster with a deadly ivy as his equal. He looked at me and examined my face and clothes before looking away. I was praying he remembers me but he did not and that got me a sneered look from
~Reina's Pov~It has been a week already since I last saw Marco's smile, experience his anger, watch him talk and reacted to his touch. I always have my hand interwined with his I don't know why maybe so that he feels my touch and wakes up a little faster. The doctors always came back with the same news. They always do not know if he will come back or not. All they can say is that we hope he comes back but I have been hoping for a week and even his fingers have not moved.I have not left him since he was here unless I want to take a shower and come back and whenever I go back home, I wirte fresh letters and leave them by his bed side. His body was cold and he was slowly turning a darker shade like one who is about to die. Everything was just not adding up, he will always be here but now he is not and there is nothing that makes sense. I laid my head on his body as I kept my hand still on his and fell asleep. *Few Hours Later*I felt something move in my hand and I looked up to see
~Reina's Pov~Inizio came to say goodbye to me after staying for a while and left since it was slowly turning to evening. Thankfully my legs and hands were not bound and even tho they were marks on my hands and feet, it was slowly getting better and by tomorrow I will have to find a way, a small opening to leave this house once and for all. "Reina, the day after tomorrow, we will get married and that too in front of Marco because my the day after tomorrow, I will get him." Rarf said to me. I had to make my face look with fear because I knew one way or the other, by tomorrow, I will be gone. "You cannot make me do that at all. I will never marry you because my heart belongs to another." I said confidently. I tried to stand up but my feet failed me making me fall back down. Just me placing my weight on the legs made the wobbly."My love is making you weak, I like the sight of that Reina. You will love me one day with all your heart, at least your body is making the first move." He sai
~Marco's Pov~With the plan in check, Roy was going to follow Inizio today to all the places he will be checking for Reina. He says he always goes out to check on Reina but whenever he is asked about his search, he gets angry and says 'could not find her' and then leaves. While he was about to leave the house, he left in a suit and I stopped him to figure out when he needed to wear a suit. Thankfully, I already knew he was wearing that and I slid a tracker and microphone in his chest pocket, he will never find out because that pocket is not even open just a little hole and I slid it in. "Why are you going to look for Reina in a suit? What if an emergency comes up and you need to run?" I questioned him. "I feel fine and you know me Marco, I am the best for a reason, a silly suit will never stop me from achieving my goals." He said lightly tapping my shoulder as he walked out, promising to call me if anything comes up. I have not seen his twin brother in a while and all Inizio said t
~Reina~Being a rich ass 20 year-old gang leader was not on my bucket list but I freaking love it. The smell of blood, people's cries that sounded like music to me made me happy.I never had a family that brought me up to be 'normal'. My family was made with the Stingers.I became their weapon, their shield, their ruthless enforcer. Killing was my trade, my survival. Money was the only currency I recognized. My parents? A blur, a distant echo. The lonely, scared child I once was is a ghost. The Stingers were my family, crime my inheritance.I'd grown up in a world where violence was as commonplace as breathing. The scent of blood was familiar, the rhythm of gunfire a lullaby. My childhood was a blur of shadows, punctuated by the harsh commands of my superiors. I learned to suppress emotions, to replace empathy with indifference. The world was a chessboard, and human life was merely pawns to be sacrificed.Now, as they circled the house, I stepped into the lion's den. Each guard that f...
