Nicolas “I am sorry.” The moment the doctor spoke those words, my already broken heart broke once more, but this time, the pain turned to fury. I fired on the ground before he had finished speaking to emphasize that quitting was not an option. He jumped, clearly frightened. “Let me finish, please. I’m sorry that I can’t assist you here. Her pulse is feeble and slow. We need to get her to the hospital right away,” the doctor stated. “What are you waiting for?” I yelled. They hurried to the stretcher on which Anaya was lying in the ambulance. Viler and I rushed after the stretcher. When the doctor attempted to prevent us from getting into the ambulance, we both pulled our weapons and instantly silenced him. We both climbed beside her. Viler had her hand in a tight grip. I winced when the doctor placed an IV in her other hand. Anaya remained still despite his best efforts to scrub her wounds. The doctor has called the hospital to request an operating room and for medical staff to be o
Anaya After Nicolas entered, I finally gave up my fight. He has arrived and will take care of everything. I could feel my blood draining and the abyss screaming my name. I was too exhausted to remain awake. My eyes began to droop and eventually sag. I could hear Nicolas and my father begging me to stay awake, but I was unable to. I gave in to the darkness, at last, believing I could now clearly see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully, I will have a better family on the other side. I wanted to snort at my thoughts. But everything slipped away, and I was reduced to nothingness. Suddenly, a kiss on my forehead brought me back to the light after some time. I had the impression that someone was tugging me towards them with the rope that was wrapped around my waist. My heart pounded in my chest. I could feel the tingles that sprang out throughout the kiss. Only one person can cause such a reaction in my body. Nicolas! He was near. However, everything soon started to drift away
Nicolas I slammed the door shut as soon as I entered my bedroom. My breath was ragged, and I was pacing back and forth to restrain my rage. I had been furious since Anaya mentioned my father back at Viler's house. Even if she has no idea what she’s talking about, it doesn’t make me feel any less angry; on the contrary, it makes me angrier. I hope I could make her understand why I did what I did, but I cannot. Even thinking about it makes me want to cut someone’s head off, and I have a few targets in mind to vent my rage at the moment. I don’t think the doctor would be able to save them if I tried that. So we move forward with the next logical choice. Gym. I slipped into my workout clothes and dashed to the gym. I tried lifting weights to block out the screaming of my loved ones, but when it didn’t work, I decided to run. The sweat streaming down my body made my clothing stick to my skin. The burning of my muscles and the heaviness of my breath made the ache in my chest burn brighter
Anaya I sigh as I recline on my bed. It’s been three weeks since I awoke in the hospital bed. And believe me when I say that this healing is a pain in the rear. Every time I try to move, the relentless ache and burn in my muscles caused me to hiss. And the fact that I move around a lot doesn’t help at all. The first week was the most challenging. Both Nicolas and my father made it their mission not to let me move my finger, not that I could move it, anyway. The most fantastic thing, though, would be my soup dates with Nicolas. He would come every evening and feed me soup and medicines, sleeping on the sofa next to my bed. My father would chase him away in the morning and sit next to me while we spoke about various topics. The following two weeks saw an improvement in my range of motion and the removal of certain bandages. Doctor Jane has allowed me to eat a few solid foods and move about a little, but with no stress. Nicolas was ecstatic and brought me some fruit, but my father didn
Nicolas Out of all the things Anaya could say, I did not expect her to say that. She told me a few weeks ago that she wanted to determine Alexy and Cole’s punishment. The other members of Alexy’s group were mine to torture and murder, just as I had done with the person who had tried to hurt her during the gala. I was not happy, but she had the right to do so. I assured her she would make the ultimate choice because they had made her suffer. However, suddenly things were different. After weeks of delaying talking about what happened in the building, she finally revealed to me what they did. She told me about being abducted from her home by Alexy and Cole and waking up in a pitch-black room. The way Alexy has recounted all of his unsuccessful ideas to her. She described to me how they imprisoned her without access to food or water, beat her every two hours, and humiliated her. Finally, she told me about how Alexy tried to force himself on her and how I protected her before anything te
Anaya I’ve never been more relieved to see myself walking again after a week of physical therapy. Two weeks ago, my cast finally came off, and let me tell you, it smelled like dog poop. I was relieved that Nicolas wasn’t there to see my itchy and hairy leg. He did, however, send his sister to inquire whether the doctor knew how to remove a plaster. I might have rolled my eyes if I wasn’t smiling at his words on the phone. We’ve established a comfy routine. Almost every night, he came to my house to visit me or, if he was busy, he would call to check on me. We texted or chatted on the phone about our days at night. I was hoping to walk tomorrow, and he chastised me for my lack of patience. Easy for him to say! I am the one who has been confined to bed for over a month. Every time he visited me, he would chase everyone who was seated next to me. As soon as he enters the room, he kicks off his shoes and climbs into bed. And we converse as he draws me to him. Goodnight kisses have becom
Nicolas “I like you, Nicolas,” Anaya said. My thoughts turned blank when she told me for the first time that she liked me. It was impossible for me to believe. After all the hardship I put her through. Yet, she likes me? My entire range of emotions—happiness, disbelief, excitement, and pain—came surging through me. My brain was filled with the tension of all those feelings, which frightened me. I went ahead and did the first thing that came to mind and left the room. When I entered my office, I left Anaya in that room, which made me feel guilty. I must, however, get my thoughts straight. I slumped into my chair but couldn’t sit still, so I looked out the window, but my mind was still foggy. I grabbed a bottle of whiskey and drank it straight from the bottle when I was unable to relax. Despite everything, I am certain of one thing: she likes me. But how? A few months ago, she was afraid of me. Can she be sure about what she feels, or is it just that she just feels like this after s
Anaya I woke up with the biggest smile on my face. After stretching my limbs, I ran to the bathroom. I did my business and lazily walked to the sink to brush my teeth. Looking at my bed hair and swollen face, I envied others who woke up looking like models while I looked like a homeless person. While I was thinking about this, something on my neck caught my attention. I yanked on the straps of my gown and noticed an angry red mark on my neck. As I gasped and rubbed the mark. What happened? My eyes became wider. Nicolas did it. My face reddened as I remembered what had happened the night before. When Nicolas began tracing his tongue across my body, all of my sensible thoughts vanished. It even got to the point where I was willing to give up my virtue and experience pleasure with him. He is the only one who can get me so wet with just his touch. I hid my face in my hands and squealed embarrassingly like a school girl who had just met her crush for the first time. Initially, I was hur

6 years later... Nicolas I brushed my fingertips over the name ‘Emma Ricci’ on the tombstone. The words ‘an amazing mother and human’ were written in capital letters below it. My mother. Even after all these years, I still miss her with all my heart. I whispered, “Maa, I miss you,” and laid the flowers Anaya had picked this morning from the garden on the grave. I am sure that my mother is resting with angels. I looked to my right and saw three more headstones. While searching for Scar, I learned more about my other half-siblings that he had killed. I never managed to locate their remains, but I was able to establish some momentum in their memory. I may never meet them, but I pray they find peace in the hereafter. I smiled and walked back to the house. The wonderful aroma of coffee drew me to the kitchen, where my beautiful wife was brewing coffee. I smiled and hugged her from behind. “Hi, kitten,” I whispered in her ear and kissed her neck. My hands stroked her stomach. She shutt
Anaya I was floating in complete darkness. My body felt as though it was fastened to a harness. I tried to get down, but I could not. I held my hand out to touch something, but it was just a whole lot of nothing. I was about to give up when I overheard a toddler babbling in the distance. I turned to glance around when I saw a kid crawling away from me. He moved away on all fours while wriggling his adorable bum, so I was unable to see his face. It felt like the child was calling out to me as the he kept babble-babbling in his child’s language. I pushed myself to follow the child. And soon I was swimming towards him. “Hold on, little one. Where is your mama?” I questioned, but the child picked up his pace. I huffed, “Stop running, baby. We need to get you back to your mama. She might be worried!” The infant babbled again, and soon I heard him laugh. I could not help but smile at the sweet laughter of a child. I must admit that seeing him laugh made me happy. As though my maternal
Nicolas “Noooo....” As soon as I noticed Anaya tumbling to the ground, I yelled. Everything was moving in slow motion for me. She had pushed me aside, taking a bullet that was meant for me. I turned to face the culprit. The blood that was pouring out of his mouth did not hide the smirk plastered on his face. He was holding a gun and pointing at her. I yelled in anger and snatched the gun out of his hand and he looked me in the eye. “You are no human. See you in hell, Scar,” I said and shot him in the middle of his forehead. His blood splattered on the floor as the bullet tore through his head. I shot him repeatedly until I felt someone grab my collar. I spun around to see a distraught Cia pleading with me to look at Anaya. I turned around and spotted Cia, Ben, and Adrian with several of my men. I’m not even sure when they walked into the room. I looked at my wife, who was bleeding on the floor and struggling to keep her eyes open, as I recovered from my vengeful daze. Her eyes were
Nicolas I grumbled and drew Anaya closer to me. Even though I was awake, I didn’t want to leave the warmth of my wife’s body. She exhaled and snuggled deeper into my chest. I opened my eyes and her naked body pressed against mine stirred my friend down south. I wanted to wake her up and have my way with her again. She must, however, be worn out from the previous night. We had been at it like rabbits. We didn’t get to sleep until the early hours of the morning, fucking until we were out of energy. Nonetheless, my body yearned for her. I don’t think I will ever be tired or fulfilled by the number of times I have her. She is my drug, and I am addicted. She had been apprehensive ever since she first met OBGYN Dr. Nile three months ago. Though he has assured her at all appointments that everything is fine, she is still doubting herself. The grief in her eyes when she sees a negative pregnancy test crushes my heart. I haven’t let her take another test for three weeks now and we are wingin
Anaya Lee’s battered body lay on the ground. His mangled body was covered in blood from head to toe. Due to the loss of blood, his skin turned pale. His clothes were ripped, and his eyes were hollow. He didn't look like the man I'd seen a few months earlier, with the Armani suit, exquisite jewelry, wide smile, and expensive watches. However, he deserves it after what he had done. He is at the topmost level of the dungeon and is used as a punching bag by all of us. Some of Marcus’s men decided to take the easy way out and kill themselves with cyanide pills while those who had been left were here in the dungeons. The evil ones have been vented, and all have been tortured. The majority of his men were killed. We didn’t have any other options. A few, such as the doctor and his brother who assisted Nicolas, are helped by him to live an honest life. “What? I unloaded my frustration on him since you wouldn't allow me to go on my trips.” Cia said nonchalantly. Nicolas sighed and rubbed his
Nicolas As I sat in my chair, I noticed that all of my commanders were listing intendly. The previous two months had been extremely hectic. I’ve begun to focus again on my work since the plasters have been removed and my body has fully recovered. We have managed to bounce back higher due to my and Anaya’s efforts. Yes, I have officially asked her to be the boss of the gang. She has declined for the time being. She wants to learn how to operate the business correctly, and she has been a tremendous student. I find it fascinating how she comes up with innovative solutions. I turned to gaze to my right where my new commander, Anaya Ricci, was presenting the information she had for our proposed warehouse to everyone. She had taken care of the repairs and security updates to the warehouse with the help of Adrain. “Nicolas, your lost in your thoughts,” she said quietly as she ended her presentation and the room applauded. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her. “I’m sorry. What w
Anaya I felt a tingle on the underside of my thigh. I squirmed when I felt a delicate caress near my hip. Is this a dream? Since Nicolas started teasing me with his touches and dirty words way too frequently last week, I have been exceedingly jittery and aroused. I heard Nicolas say, “I know you’re awake, kitten. Open your eyes.” when I felt hot breath near my ear. Of course, it’s him that gets me wet first thing in the morning! I thought of teasing him, returning the favor, but I jerked awake when I felt a slap on my pussy. “What the...” I lagged. I saw my handsome husband lying on top of me, freshly showered, wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans. He smirked, “Good morning, wife. It’s always lovely to see your beautiful eyes and naked body in the morning.” I flushed as I realized I was under him, absolutely naked. He purposely made me play strip poker last night, knowing well I am terrible at cards and that’s how I ended up naked while he was fully clothed. Now that Nicolas’s ba
Nicolas I saw my beautiful wife curled up beside me. Two weeks have passed since I was released from the hospital. I was strictly ordered to stay in bed, and some of my minor bandages had been taken off. I pushed my body to move even though it was still difficult. I'm not going to be chained to a bed. I chuckled, as I remembered how mad Anaya and Cia got when I tried to stand up and fell down on the ground. Since Marcus managed to escape the helicopter when it crashed into the water, everyone has been under pressure. He was actually concealing a knife in his boot, which he used to cut through his binds discreetly. While Noah was holding him, he stabbed the knife into Noah's thigh. We were relieved Noah was safe, since we didn't need a battle with the American Mafia right now. The five men aboard the helicopter that was transporting Marcus got into a fight with him. Someone inadvertently discharged gun, shooting the pilot and causing the plane to crash. We lost Marcos, Anaya's bodygu
