Love To Hate Me RHYS: I'll Get Over It
For the past five days, I've been knee-deep in the dark underbelly of Los Angeles, dealing with the aftermath of Dad's latest power play. Exploring the complex web of alliances and rivalries, I'm becoming increasingly adept at taking down those who dare to challenge the Bravta's rule. The city streets are a labyrinth of corruption and deceit, where the strong survive and the weak are devoured. I've been learning the ropes with Asael and the others, and I have to admit, it's exhilarating. But this life wasn't my choice. Dad told me to use school as a cover to stay in Los Angeles, to keep a low profile until I'm ready to take over as the lord and boss of the Russian Mafia. It's a role I'm not sure I'm ready for, but I know I have no choice. Stepping into the warehouse at the port, the smell of saltwater and diesel hits me like a punch to the gut. I grip my mace tightly, the familiar weight of it a comforting presence in my hand. Asael and the others spread out around me, our eyes s

Asael plops down beside Luciano, his eyes locking onto mine with unbridled fascination. "Spill the details!" he exclaims, his voice bubbling with excitement. "Did you like it?"I rake my fingers through my hair in frustration. "Were you eavesdropping?" I ask, trying to keep my tone light despite the annoyance boiling beneath the surface."Get out, both of you," I say, waving my hand dismissively. "I need sleep."Luciano groans and slaps Asael's head, the soft thud filling the air. "Look what you've caused," he says, shaking his head as they both stand up to leave.As they exit my room, I let out a deep sigh and settle into my bed, feeling the softness of the blankets wrapping me. Sleep claims me, and I drift off into unconsciousness, the events of the day fading into the darkness.....A gentle, curious touch on my cheek lights up a slow-burning fire within me. I'm breathless, my instincts surprisingly dormant, as I realize I'm not reaching for my knife."Asshole. You disappear from

"Yes!" I breathe out sharply, my chest heaving with excitement.Before I can even process anything else, Rhys's face is inches from mine, the barrel of his gun pressed against my forehead.Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know playing with a loaded gun is dangerous, but it's even more dangerous in Rhys's hands.Especially with him this close.His eyes dips to my lips, lingering for a moment before locking onto mine, the intensity making my heart skip a beat.A sly grin spreads across his face as he drags the gun down to my nose, the tip tracing a path along my skin. His finger hovers over the trigger, and my mind goes blank.Fear and anticipation war for dominance as my state of reasoning is now non-existent because I'm already stiff as a pole.May I should change my..."Uh... Rhys..." I try to speak, but before I can get another word out, Rhys's lips crash onto mine. His kiss is fierce and intense, his teeth nipping at my lips as his tongue invades my mouth. Sending all kinds of electric zaps i

While I'm fully focused on preparing breakfast, my assistant chef, Jasper, lies on the counter, his beautiful sapphire eyes fixed on me.I'm not sure why I bothered calling him to help."Are you seriously not going to help?" I ask, cracking eggs into the frying pan.Jasper smirks, his tongue darting out playfully. "I prefer watching you cook. You look hot."I simply smile, roll my eyes, and walk towards him, cleaning my hands on my apron. As I reach for the cupboard above his head to grab some ingredients, he sits up, wrapping his legs around my waist."It's not every day I see a hot tattooed guy cooking..." he pokes at the cartoon kitten on my apron, a wide, silly grin spreading across his lips. "Wearing a Hello Kitty apron.""My mum gave it to me," I say, opening the cupboard to pull out the spices. "It was my birthday gift."I can feel Jasper's eyes on my back as I return to the eggs, adding the spices and flipping them.He lies down on the counter, letting out a lazy groan. "This

I've never seen the soccer field this packed. The atmosphere is electric, with screaming students from both Goodrich Elite College and City Stars College filling the air. Everyone around me is cheering, including Keon and Ethan, who are seated on either side of me, yelling and whooping at the top of their lungs.I, on the other hand, am frozen, my eyes fixed on Rhys as he stands among his teammates, listening to their coach's instructions.My hands feel sweaty, and my heart is racing. I feel like I'm the one playing, not him – that's how nervous I am.To be honest, I didn't expect Rhys to personally invite me to watch the game. I was planning to come anyway.But what really caught me off guard was the feeling of being honored and truly wanted when he asked me himself.I think he's starting to warm up to me, and I have to admit, I'm warming up to him too.The whistle blows, and the cheers erupt as the players rush onto the field to take their positions. They all look so focused, and th

Everything around me freezes, and my vision blurs to black, with only the sound of my own blood rushing in my ears. But even through the haze, I can still hear Collins' laughter, distant but menacing.Then, a searing pain explodes across my cheek as Collins' fist connects, sending me flying backward into the arms of the other two, who grab my arms, holding me in place.Their touch sparks a flashback to a traumatic memory: Finn punching me when I was 12, the sound of Kiara's screams echoing behind me as I shielded her from him.Before I know it, my hand is digging into my pocket, and I'm pulling out Rhys' knife, screaming at the top of my lungs."Don't touch me!!" I scream, stabbing the knife into Collins' stomach. He freezes, but I pull out the knife and stab him again, and again, screaming with each thrust.Collins' blood splashes across my face, and his friends release me, staggering backward in horror.As Collins drops to the floor, trembling and gasping for breath, his eyes wide w

"Yes!!" Jasper exclaims, his eyes lighting up like fireworks on a summer night. He licks his lips with excitement as he takes another bite of his food. "Okay then." I give him a nod and watch as he savors each morsel. . After Jasper finishes his meal, I collect the tray, the clinking of dishes and silverware echoing through the empty halls of the mansion. While I retreat to the kitchen, the silence is almost piercing, a far cry from the chaos that unfolded last night. Luciano had offered to escort Keon back to his dorm, but Jasper had been MIA. I recalled the sense of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach as we searched for him. I checked the VIP bathroom with Asael and Ethan, but Jasper was nowhere to be found. We finally tracked down his whereabouts to the club's main bathroom, where we stumbled upon an unexpected scene. Collins and his friends were sprawled out on the floor, their bodies battered and bruised, their own blood pooling around them. The air was so

Happiness...It's been years since I've felt truly happy. A feeling I only experience with my violin by my side.... Or driving wild with my bike... And of course, drugs.My mind begins to wander... And I'm transported back to my fifth birthday. The sweet smell of waffle cones and the sound of laughter filling my senses.Mum and Dad took Kiara and I to get ice cream, and for a brief moment, everything felt perfect.I recall Mum and Dad exchanging tired glances, but despite their forced smiles, they still managed to make that day special for me.And damn! The euphoria that coursed through my veins when I licked my cone. Vanilla...It's a feeling I've been chasing ever since.Well... Until now.As I steer the car onto the 405, the twinkling lights of the Los Angeles skyline stretch out before us like a canvas of diamonds. Rhys's strong arms envelop me, his warm hands resting on my hips as we glide through the twilight.This is our third practice drive, but I have to admit, I'm not just h

Love To Hate Me JASPER: Help Me
"N..No. I can't do this." I break away from the kiss, tearing myself away from him. "Goddammit!"My heart is racing so fast I have to press my hand to it. "You have to stop messing with me, Rhys. If you want me, tell me and I'll stay with you. If you don't want me, I'll leave."Rhys yanks me forward, pressing my body against his as he wraps his arms around my waist, gripping my sweater tightly. I can feel his intensity, his desire to rip it off."Rhys." My body trembles, and I can feel his heart pounding against his chest, like it's trying to break free.I look up at him, his hair obscuring his eyes, but I can see them darkening in the dim light."Rhys," I whisper, my breath catching in my throat. "What do you want from me?"He leans in, his face inches from mine, our lips almost touching. Our breath mingles, and I can feel his heart beating in time with mine."Rhys." Tears prick at the corners of my eyes. Bloody hell! I just want to hear him say the words I desperately need to hear.
Love To Hate Me JASPER: A Dream
Riding my bike back home from violin practice, I'm met with a surprise. The mansion compound is packed with cars, and the sound of booming music, cheers, and screams fills the air. I park my bike, exhaustion washing over me as I remove my helmet. "I'm not in a party mood." It's Asael's birthday today, and I hadn't planned on returning to the mansion so late. My mind has been preoccupied with securing a solo spot. I'm so close! I make my way through the crowd, scanning the sea of faces for a glimpse of Rhys, but all I can see is Asael and Luciano dancing together, surrounded by cheering people. Luciano is laughing and spraying them money. I roll my eyes, a grumble escaping my lips. "Rich people." As I step up the stairs and into the hall, I find myself standing in front of Rhys' door. I stare hard at it, feeling the urge to open it, but it's probably locked – and he doesn't want to see me. Maybe he wants to. My phone buzzes in my pocket, breaking the spell. I pull it o
Love To Hate Me RHYS: My Father's Sins
It's Asael's birthday today, and the party is tonight. But I'm not really concerned about the preparations because Asael made it clear he wants to handle everything himself.Right now, I'm at the company, signing documents my dad told me to take care of. I'm exhausted and grumpy, dreading the fact that this will be my life soon.Makar is lounging on the couch, his eyes sealed on his phone. He looks more conflicted than usual. "What's wrong?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.He looks up at me, his eyes wide with surprise, like he didn't expect me to ask. "Well, erm... My father wants me to do something that will prevent a war between us and the Italians.""What?" My phone buzzes, and I glance at the screen to see a message from Dad. [Arrange marriage.]"Well, that's unexpected." I look up at Makar, who forces a weak smile."I'm guessing you know what I'm supposed to do," He rises from the couch, storms out of my office, and slams the door behind him, screaming, "I'm getting married to a fu
Love To Hate Me JASPER: The Way Things Used To Be
I'm returning from the club at 12 pm, not exactly part of my plan, but the unwanted energy I've been receiving lately is pushing me away from this mansion.For an odd reason, I feel like Batman.I head to the kitchen, opening the fridge to find a large bowl of chocolate ice cream. And hell! Do I feel blessed!"Just gotta take this to my room, watch a movie, and ignore that asshole," I grumble to myself as I make my way upstairs, through the hall.But.. Before I know it, I'm standing in front of Rhys' door, staring at it like an obsessed freak.Damn.We had a good thing going at the beach the other night, but of course, from the next day on, he's been giving me that "you ruined my life" look.At first, I didn't want to believe it. But fuck it! We're back to square one."Open sesame," I pull the door handle, and to my surprise, it's unlocked."Oh?" I step into the dark room, and the moonlight illuminates Rhys, who's fast asleep, his chest rising and falling with each gentle breath.He l

Damon takes a drag of his cigarette, his eyes fixed on the bloodied mace clutched in my hand. "Makar had a run-in with the Ravens last night," he mutters. "Seems they've gone to the Italians for help."I gaze at my bloodied hand, a grim smile spreading across my face as my bloodlust begins to subside. "Smart move, crawling under the Italians' feet," I say. "Father's been trying to avoid an all-out war between us."Damon's calculated eyes narrow, studying me intently. I can sense his unspoken questions, his attempts to unravel the complexities of my thoughts and emotions.I sit in the chair, the lifeless body of the Ravens' leader beside me, a gruesome note to the brutality I've unleashed. The Ravens think they can hide behind the Italians. "The war is inevitable now," I growl, my voice low and menacing. "I'm wiping out the Ravens completely. I don't care if they're in hiding. They tried to hurt my family."The words feel like fire in my throat, and I realize, with a sense of unease,
Love To Hate Me Jasper: The Devil's Spawn
I kick at the sand with my boots, feeling an overwhelming sense of joy in my chest. The wind blows around me, and I feel carefree, like I'm five again. I skip along, laughing and swinging my arms as I gaze out at the ocean waves glinting under the full moonlight.But I'm not excited because of the beach. I'm excited because of the large, tattooed man walking behind me, his admiring gaze fixed on me. I walk backwards, cocking my head to the side as I stare at him."Do you like me, straight boy?" I ask, a playful smile spreading across my face."I hate you," he replies immediately, his expression stern.I shrug nonchalantly, feeling a sense of ease in my stomach. "That's reassuring."I twirl, walking ahead towards the ocean, but Rhys immediately yanks me back. "Nope. It's cold. You're not going in there." His arm wraps tightly around my waist, possessive and warm.I throw my head back to look at his chiseled, gorgeous face. "Well, promise me we'll come to the beach for a swim then."Rhy
Love To Hate Me RHYS: Wrong Answer
"Are you just going to keep staring at him? Go to him, asshole." Luciano says, snatching the cigarette from my lips. I quickly retrieve it, my eyes narrowing warily."I'm... I'm going to do that, but not now," I say, trying to sound nonchalant.Luciano's face falls, his expression a picture of disappointment. "Not while everyone is looking."I'm not sure what comes over me, but I feel a sudden urge to laugh. It's a manic, unhinged sound, and it startles even me. But I quickly compose myself, take a long drag on my cigarette, and blow a stream of smoke directly into Luciano's face, my expression stern."I'm not ashamed or anything like that. I'm just... shy, I think," I admit, trying to downplay my feelings.Luciano's eyes widen in surprise. "You like him!" he exclaims, his voice a bit too loud for comfort.My body's immediate response is panic, and I find myself glancing over at Jasper, who's still engrossed in conversation with Keon. They're both staring at Jasper's phone, probably d
Love To Hate Me JASPER: I Wish
I'm standing at the starting line of The Devil's Den, a 25-mile loop that begins and ends in Venice Beach. As I look out at the route ahead, I can see that it takes riders through the scenic Pacific Coast Highway, past the iconic Santa Monica Pier, and into the winding roads of the Santa Monica Mountains.Fuck! Looking up at the night sky, I sight a faint shooting star, and my chest feels fuzzy and light.I want to win.I really want to win.But Rhys's gray eyes are stuck in my head, distracting me. His voice echoes in my mind. 'Who am I to you?'The host's voice is a distant hum, the crowd's cheers a clamor of static noise. My heart is racing, and all I can hear is the scream of my own adrenaline as I rev up my engine alongside the other riders.The flag drops, and we're off, speeding down the road like a pack of wild animals.Rhys's question echoes in my mind. 'Who am I to you?' But I push it aside, focusing on the road ahead.I zip past the pier, taking sharp turns with precision,
Love To Hate Me RHYS: He's Mine
I've never been interested in men. I've never entertained the thought.That was until Luciano came out as gay at fifteen. He'd had a crush on Damon for as long as I could remember.Our families had been close-knit since our parents' school days. My father, Vadim Volkov, head of the Russian mafia, and Luciano's father, head of the Spanish mafia, shared an unbreakable bond and loyalty.Their friendship had blossomed into a lasting alliance, strengthened by the coincidence of their wives giving birth to sons in the same year.Luciani is a few months older than me, born in September, while I'm a December boy.When he didn't win Damon's heart, he set his sights on me at sixteen. He confessed his feelings, and we made a playful bet that he could make me fall for him.We even shared a kiss, but it didn't spark anything romantic between us. We never made a big deal about it, occasionally bringing it up to laugh.I've always identified as straight, drawn to girls. I've had numerous flings, but
