DELIA HERRERA POV

"You want me to help you," Julie asked, looking down at the cheque in front of her. "You dared to show up in front of me and ask me to help you" she snapped, looking up at me. "What do you take me for Delia, a freaking pushover"

I arched a brow, her rage towards me unexpected. I was offering her five million, so why the hell was she giving me attitude?

"Is the money I am offering not enough for you? Are you trying to ask for more" I asked genuinely confused, my legs shaking agitatedly as I leaned forward, "Five million is a lot of money and if you don't take it, you might, no, you'll end up regretting it, Julie"

Julie gaped at me, a disbelieving look on her face. "Did you lose some of your brain cells? Like, where the hell do you get the audacity? You dare come to me and throw money in my face after what you did to me? Are you fucking serious right now"

I could feel the wrinkle form on my forehead. "And what did I do to you, Julie? What are you so pissed off for?

    JULIE POV"I am here to see Enoch Stanton. Tell him it's Julie Ping, his wife's best friend," I said, and the secretary gave me a one-over, a scoff escaping her lips as she focused back on what she was doing. "You'll need an appointment to see Mr Stanton. He's a very busy man and won't appreciate me disturbing his work just because someone like you wants to see him"Her words didn't hurt; I was used to everyone looking down on me or treating me as if I didn't matter anyway but It was all going to change very soon. I would come out on top, and they'll all be sorry that they were shitty to me. "This is really important...." I paused glancing at her name tag, "Helena, Delia sent me to tell him something important. You do not want to get into trouble with Enoch when he finds out that you deliberately stopped me from seeing him..." "I am trying to work, lady," She cut me off and, this time, held my gaze menacingly. "If Delia Herrera wants her husband to know about something, I am a hund

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV "How about we throw a party to celebrate finding your wife?" Séda asked, and I glanced at her, knowing that she wasn't really asking a question but telling me what she wanted to do. "Why would you want to throw a party, Séda, or did you and Father forget what roles you played in her abduction?" I said, watching her expression, but there was no crack in her armor. "She disrespected our name and had to face the consequences. Just because she was your wife, it didn't mean that she was going to get immunity," she said, and I got to my feet and strode towards her until I stood In front of her menacingly."Don't give me that bullshit Séda, you did what you did because nothing pleases you more than suffering and misery. You wanted to destroy me...""No, I wanted to make you stronger. How else would you have shot at your father and brother if I hadn't pushed you to the limit? How else would you have known just how powerful you could be... Celine made you weak; I cou

    CELINE HERRERA POVMy anxiety level was through the roof as I inspected the sexy lingerie in my hand and the others that had been handpicked for me as the best options. Could I really do it? Could I play the slut and seduce someone like Belshar. He wanted me now, but how long was it going to take before his desire faded out? It was either this or nothing, I just hoped that I was able to guard my heart from falling harder than it already has. Surviving alone has always been my forte anyway. "I'll take these," I said to the attendant, and she smiled brightly. "They are perfect choices Mrs Belshar. Your husband is going to be absolutely smitten" she got out giddily. The only thing she didn't do was squeal and scream as she walked away from me to package the item. Her enthusiasm was contagious, though, and I found myself smiling. let's see how long you last, Belshar. He said he was going to make me fall in love with him again, but what he didn't know was I'd always been in love wit

"It has been so long since I've been to the Sea. How did you know this was my favorite place" He smiled. "I guess my stalking tendencies paid off." I laughed, yanked the door of the car open, and came out, then I took off my shoes so I could feel the sand beneath my feet. The feeling was both exhilarating and nostalgic. I turned to face Belshar. He'd come out of the car and had also taken off his shoe like I did."How does that feel?" I asked excitedly, and he glanced down at the sand as if they were foreign objects beneath his feet. "It feels weird. The last

    KAIL ABED NESSAR"He knows you are planning something, Kail," Sedá uttered and I looked up from the weapons I was examining, a sharp breath escaping my lungs as I realized what that meant—visions of Belshar ripping out my heart flashed through my mind."That's impossible" I got out more to assure myself than her. "He might have a hunch, but that's all there is. I have been very careful" "Do not underestimate Belshar, just because he keeps quiet, it doesn't mean he's not aware of what is going on. He has ears and eyes everywhere. There was a look in his eyes that made me uneasy Kail, I am certain that he knows something" I whirled to face her, non-existent dark fumes poisoning my lungs and making it difficult to breathe. "Well, what do you want me to do? I can not stop now when I already have a sizable number of men on our side. Those men would die for me, they fear nothing""Belshar wants you to go to Vratia" she let out, a dead look in her eyes. My body trembled with rage. "Does h

    CELINE HERRERA POV "What's your favorite color" Belshar asked as he threw the ball to me. I caught it, then inspected the ball as I mulled the question over. His eyes came to mind and I smiled. "Green," I said and his eyes widened. "You love my eyes don't you" he grinned and I threw the ball back to him with more force than was necessary but he caught it with ease, the grin never leaving his lips. "Does that mean I am right""No, you're just full of yourself. It can't be helped I guess" I got out and he chuckled. "What is your favourite colour""Blue, especially the shade of your eyes kind of blue," he said without missing a beat and I rolled my eyes. "For a mafia king, you are so cringe" I got out and barely caught the ball as he threw it. "It used to be red. Blood red, nothing pleased me more than cutting into the flesh of my enemies" I paused, staring at him. "Did you always enjoy killing people""I never wanted to kill anyone, but I had to. In my world, it's either kill or b

    DELIA HERRERA POV My nails were bitten short from anxiety. I'd gotten that video with no context whatsoever and no demands were being made, so I didn't know what to expect. I didn't even know who bloody sent it.I tugged at my hair, then stopped as the door opened. Enoch stepped into the house, his eyes moving around the room until they came to land on me. There was no smile on his face, and his eyes looked a bit dilated. We both stood staring at each other and when I had enough of the awkward silence, I spoke up."You're late. You never come back this late" He snorted, then yanked off his suit "Were you waiting up for me? You don't look like it." he got out dryly as he let the suit drop to the floor, then he regarded me more keenly, his eyes narrowing. "Why do you look like you've committed another heinous crime and now you're worried you are going to get caught" The breath in my lungs ceased to exist for a second."What did you just say" I questioned, my brain firing In differen

I could tell that the smile on her face throughout the process was fake though and I wondered just how long she was going to keep up the charade.Everyone was happy to see me back, but there were so many problems the company was facing that after the reappointment, we all got together to deliberate on how to move the business forward. Delia acted like she didn't know what the problem was as we conversed but I was sure she knew just how low sales had dropped in recent months because of her bad business plan and company funds that couldn't be traced to any activities. We were even falling behind on our annual quotas. "We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Our rivals are gaining in on us and even though the other companies are doing fair enough, we as the mother company are far behind on what we should be realizing""You don't have to worry Mr

"It was Victor Stakov," he shouted, then screamed when I pressed the branding rod against his skin.The sizzling sound and the smell of burning flesh filled the room, everything mingling to create an atmosphere charged with an intensity that made my blood surge through my veins as if I were riding out a high God I missed this. How long had it been since I last tortured anyone? I'd made a lot of coffee and cakes to keep myself occupied but it was always so monotonous. It got boring too. This. This was exactly what I needed. Dropping the rod onto the burning coal, I raked my hand through my hair and stared down at the man on the table. His body was covered with my brand, his skin bruised and burnt.It was a work of art, really, but there were still some spaces that I hadn't marked, and my fingers itched to pick up the rod and fill it up."Please" he gasped, spitting out more blood.

I should have known that something like this was going to happen. "Argh" I roared, my hand clenching on the steering wheel. "I'm going to make you pay bastard"Just how was Celine feeling right now?

Kail's cafe loomed in the distance.When I arrived at the spot, I noticed that the car the hitmen had used was still parked out front. The windows were shattered and bullet holes riddled the door. My hands trembled, the rage in my chest suffocating. The guards were still standing around. Their greeting went unheard as the roaring

    CELINE HERRERA POV Belshar still wasn't saying anything. Anytime I got a picture, I asked him about his day, hoping that he was going to tell me about the girl and why he was meeting up with her but each time I asked, he just told me how work went and how boring everything was while skipping out the most important thing I wanted to know about.There were six pictures so far, and I was starting to get angry. It all came with messages too. Messages that ruined my day every time I thought of them.Was it a reporter sending the images? Are they going to call soon to demand money or threaten to release the picture?They probably wouldn't, especially since the photos were not that incriminating.The most intimate one was the first picture I got and that was because the lady had been in a bathing suit.I dragged my finger through my hair and then sighed. "Should I just ask Belshar about it?" We had real enemies to worry about, so why was I allowing this to chip away at me? What was I so af

    VICTOR STAKOV "I don't think our plan is going to work out, "Gabby got out as she strode toward my desk. "No, I know it is not going to," she said, stopping in front of me. She leaned toward me, her hands slamming down hard to get my attention. "Belshar is being very difficult"I glanced up from the laptop in front of me and then flipped it close when she arched a brow. Exhaling roughly, I inched close to her. "How many times are we going to go over this, Gabby""As many times I meet up with him and he ignores my very existence"I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Give it time, it's going to work. You're just too impatient for your own good""No, that's not the case this time. It's been two weeks. Two weeks of trying my damned best to get his attention. We've met a total of six times and I am still not close to getting his attention as at the start""You told me he spoke with you the last time you pretended to run into him at a conference""He also spoke to other women there," Gabby s

I think he will be home late today""You don't have to look so sad just because he's staying out, I am here to keep you company am I not"I forced a smile. "Yeah, but you're not Belshar"She rolled her eyes. "I don't know what I do at this job of mine. I'm just getting paid for doing nothing""Isn't that the dream job?"She grinned. "It is, but sometimes I need to feel the adrenaline from working hard at something"I shook my head. "You are so weird," I said, then reached for the fruit and popped one into my mouth. It didn't taste good, not with the image I'd seen replaying in my head over and over again.Why had he gone to the beach? What was he doing with her?Did they know each other from before? He hadn't even looked at her at the restaurant. Was that all a facade?God, my brain hurts just thi

    CELINE HERRERA POV "I think Kail is stalking me," Karen said and I glanced up at her. "What?""I don't know Celine... I feel like I've been running into him a lot lately""Define a lot""Like every day of this past week. He runs a cafe so how is that even possible? Just how much time does he have to be going around like that, and that too everywhere I go? We don't have the same bloody schedule." She turned to face me, her back resting against the railings. "Do you think I am being paranoid""No, I don't think so," I said since it was Kail we were talking about. Just because he turned a new leave and was acting like a saint now didn't mean that he hadn't once been the epitome of all things evil. Also, I'd noticed the way his gaze had been on Karen the last time we were at his cafe. He'd stared at her as if he was trying to see into her soul.Karen pushed away from the railing. "Should I be worried? I can't imagine what he could want from me""I think he likes you," Victoria chipped i

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV"Do you have anything to report?" I asked Christian. The words that Victor had said to me a week ago rang in my head, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. It had been a threat. Was he going to target my wife? My fist clenched. "There is nothing so far. All Victor does is work and attend conference meetings. He's been creating a network for his business that has started to work from how much progress he made this week, but rest assured, all eyes are on him"Was that what he was hoping for? For all of my attention to be on him while he worked in the shadows to strike those closest to me."I want you to plant a mole in his mansion. I need to know what goes on when he's alone in his house.""Already working on that. We'll have inside information soon.""Celine has been home for a while now, but she's going to get bored as time goes on, so assign more bodyguards to her whenever she gets the urge to go out""Yes boss"I let out a rough exhale, then glanced up at Chris

    CELINE HERRERA POV I was out with Belshar, and the Sky looked so blue that I couldn't help but feel a little thrill as I gazed up at it."Nice weather, huh?" he asked as he took my hand in his.I nodded. "It's really nice""We just have to walk for a few minutes and we'll be at the restaurant. The doctor said you need to walk more than you already do""Do we have to do everything he says"He grinned. "We don't want to give that man a heart attack, so let's just follow his advice, okay? He worries over you more than I do"I chuckled. "True. Off we go then," I said, and we started to walk.The street was a lot quieter than usual, and all of a sudden, I couldn't help but think if a hitman was lurking in the shadow, waiting to get a perfect angle and take us out.It was all because of Victor Stakov. That was the name of the man who was threatening to destroy the peaceful happiness that I and Belshar currently shared. It was unfair. Belshar said he had eyes on him and that the man only s

    CELINE HERRERA POV "You look exhausted," I said as I hugged Belshar. His scent was intoxicating, and I inhaled it greedily. His arms tightened around me."I missed you so much" he murmured against my hair, the sound of his voice resonating deep within me."Is that why you're back so early" I grinned. "I was sure you'd be another four hours""I couldn't breathe for that long without you," he said, his strong hands gliding down my back and sending delicious waves of pleasure through my skin."Oh yeah," I moaned, enjoying the feeling, but there was something off. I pulled back to examine his face.Belshar looked down at me and as I stared at him, he leaned close and tried to press his lips against mine. I moved my head back, evading his kiss as I noticed the worry in his eyes. He looked anxious too, as if there was something heavy weighing on his mind."What's wrong" I asked when he made no more move to kiss me. "Did something happen at work"He shook his head, then let go of me. "It wa
