LANA

I stiffened and turned around, only to see Bernardo had stopped following me and was walking away.

“Who?” I shouted after him.

He turned, spread his arms as if to say something, then casually resumed his departure. Frustration bubbled within me, but there was nothing I could do about his refusal to answer.

I jogged for ten minutes but gave up, unable to shake Bernardo’s cryptic words from my mind. Restlessness gnawed at me.

When I dressed for work, it was the first time I arrived earlier than anyone else; the cleaners were shocked to see me.

Soon, the manager arrived and teased, “Lana, dreaming about the bar?”

I forced a smile. Throughout the day, I kept myself busy, not taking a break, surprising everyone with my enthusiasm as I even helped them with their tasks.

At noon, two men in black suits entered the bar, and my heart sank. Anxiety washed over me as they approached the counter where I was serving customers.

“Lana, right?” one of them asked.

“Yes,” I replied, my voice shaky

    LANAI opened my eyes and craned my neck to see Maximum standing behind me. His arm was wrapped around my waist, and surprisingly, I felt no discomfort in his embrace."Maximum, you're holding my woman," Pedro said, his voice icy, his eyes blazing with fury.I felt Maximum lean in and nibble my neck, a sensation that sent shivers down my spine. I leaned into him, craving more of that warmth."She doesn’t seem to agree with you," Maximum replied, pausing his playful teasing.Pedro clenched his fists and lowered his gun, narrowing his eyes as he warned, "Why protect a whore? She’s up for sale. Is it wise to make an enemy…?"Maximum cut him off coldly, "One more word, and your corpse won’t make it to New York."I was taken aback by the power behind his words; Pedro stood there, seething but silent. I glanced at Maximum, intrigued by the strength that could silence a mafia boss. He simply smiled and said, "Darling, let’s go home."My cheeks flushed at his endearing words. He often seemed

    LANAWhen I saw his face, I was rendered speechless. My eyes widened in disbelief as I blinked twice, wondering if what I was seeing was real.His lips curled into a smirk, and he chuckled before asking, "Why are you speechless?"The corners of my mouth twitched. It was only natural to be at a loss for words when my expectations had been completely shattered. Why on earth did a man have such a stunningly beautiful face?Clearing my throat, I finally managed to say, "You’re really pretty."He sighed ruefully and pulled a mask over his face. I was left searching for words. Was he embarrassed by his looks?"That’s why I always wear a mask," he explained, standing up. "Men always hit on me."He turned and walked toward the door, and I tensed, worried I’d upset him. "Are you mad at me?"He paused and glanced back, shaking his head. "No, I’m not. Goodnight."Then he opened the door and left. Once he was gone, I made my way to the kitchen, realizing just how hungry I was. I devoured a big pl

    LANAI looked around the room, searching for my handbag so I could make a call, but I couldn’t find it. Frustrated, I leaned against the wall and sat down, lost in deep thought.The creaking sound of the door caught my attention, and I got to my feet. My legs shook, and I struggled to maintain my balance.Before I could steady myself, Bernardo walked into the cell room, wearing a smile that wasn’t really a smile.“Hey, Lana! Why are your legs trembling so much? Are you having an orgasm while thinking about me?” he asked with a smirk.I felt a wave of disgust churn in my stomach at his crude comment. I took a deep breath, trying to keep my composure as I stared at him.“What do you want?” I asked coldly. He looked at me and laughed, a chilling sound.He slipped a hand into one of his pockets and then looked at me silently for a moment before sneering. “Lana, you didn’t realize where you are and the situation you’re in. Let me tell you: you are now a slave—a complete slave without right

    LANAI was terrified, knowing that Pedro was a brutal and ruthless man. If he bought me, my life would be in grave danger.Suddenly, another voice rang out, "Twenty-five million dollars!"More bids followed, each one making my anxiety spiral. Pedro was outbidding everyone, and my panic grew. Then, a calm voice cut through the chaos, "One hundred million dollars."My racing heart suddenly steadied, leaving me confused. The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it. Just as I was trying to figure it out, the auctioneer declared, "The winner of the bid is M."As my cage was lifted away, a wave of weakness washed over me, and before I could process what was happening, I blacked out.When I finally opened my eyes, I found myself sleeping on a bed that felt incredibly comfortable. The bedding was all white, and my head on the pillow had given me a wonderful dream.As I continued to enjoy the feeling of having a peaceful sleep, I suddenly remembered that I had been sold to someone.

    LANAHe pinned my arms above my head and locked his gaze with mine. With a devilish smirk, he parted my legs with his hand and sniffed me."You smell so good," he said, leaning forward to kiss my neck. I couldn't lie still; I tried to move, but he warned me, "Don't move."My chest heaved with longing in my eyes.He nibbled on my neck and took his time exploring my body. As he fondled my breasts and teased my nipples, he lowered his hand and began to undress me. I was so aroused that I could hardly stay still.I grabbed him and pulled him down, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go."Please, I need you," I pleaded.Hearing this, he held my waist as I unbuttoned his white shirt and took it off. My fingers traced his well-defined chest and muscular abs."You’re so hot," I complimented shamelessly.He groaned in response, and I could feel his excitement building. I realized that sweet words drove him wild.I took off his briefs and grasped him, feeling his hardness in my hand. "You l

    LANAWhen I heard Bernardo's familiar voice through the phone's speaker, my chest tightened."What does it matter to me if she dies or lives?" I shot back, uneasy.Bernardo sneered from the other end. "You're living happily and have forgotten about us, but let me remind you, Lana: if your mother dies, I'll make sure the world knows how cruel you are. We can't pay for hospital bills, y..."I hung up the call abruptly as the door creaked open. I quickly switched off my phone and turned to see Maximum walking in.He had stopped wearing his mask at home.I could see every expression on his face: the raising of his eyebrows, the subtle movements of his lips."Are you alright?" he asked, concern etched in his voice.I shook my head and nodded at the same time, a mix of emotions swirling inside me. The corners of his lips twitched slightly.I stepped down from the bed, walked up to him, and wrapped my arms around his neck, my legs circling his waist.He squeezed my waist in response."Make l

    LANAMy heart raced, and my face went pale. The hand gripping my phone trembled as fear coursed through me, my lips quivering."What have I ever done to you?" I asked, a dull ache settling in my chest. I knew my stepdad too well; he was likely serious about his threat.He sneered coldly. "Just return home, and everything will be fine."He hung up, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I lay on the bed, unable to sleep the entire night, consumed by worry that Bernardo might reveal my past to Maximum.I had no idea when I finally drifted off, but when I opened my eyes, I found Maximum hovering over me, his palm gently brushing the sweat from my forehead.I instinctively moved closer and hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much," I murmured, squeezing him even harder.He patted my back soothingly, silent yet comforting. My tense nerves began to relax, and he pressed a soft kiss on my face, holding me close."Promise me you won't leave me," I pleaded, gazing deeply into his eyes.He smiled,

    LANAI pulled my gaze away from the apartment and turned to my stepfather. "What happened to Old White?""Her funeral was a few weeks ago," Bernardo replied.A wave of sorrow washed over me at his words. I stood there, lost in memories of all she had done for me. She had always offered me food when I was hungry and even volunteered to enroll me in school, though my mother had strongly opposed it. I recalled the thoughtful gifts she had given me on my birthdays.But now she was gone. Tears began to roll down my cheeks before I even realized it.I turned to Bernardo, wiping my tears, and said, "Take me to her grave."He looked at me, disbelief etched on his face. It seemed he hadn’t expected me to abandon our original purpose for this. "Lana, she’s gone. There’s nothing you can do about it. We can visit her another time; we have serious business to attend to."I shot back, "Are you taking me there or not?"His response caught in his throat, and he stared at me, a mix of emotions playing

    LANAAlthough I had my suspicions about my father, hearing it from Maximum made me feel uneasy."Are you enemies with my dad?" I asked, trying to gauge the tension in the air.Maximum pursed his lips, and I raised an eyebrow, sensing that my hunch was right—they were indeed foes."Not friends," he shrugged, a hint of disdain in his voice.My heart raced at the implication. What kind of work did my father do to attract such animosity? Just as I was about to ask Maximum for more details, I heard my dad's voice echoing from the garden. "Maximum, sneaking into my mansion and taking the celebrant out of the hall—do you think I’m a vegetarian?"I was taken aback. My dad knew who Maximum was. I quickly glanced between them: my father’s face was dark, his eyes blazing with anger, exuding a confrontational energy."Dad, you both know each other?" I asked, astonished."Lana, stay away from him. He’s a terrible person," my dad declared, his tone leaving no room for argument.I was taken aback, a

    LANAHearing the guests’ chatter, my mother leaned closer to my father and I caught her asking, "Honey, are you going to introduce me too?"I could sense the excitement and anticipation in her voice."Not today, darling. Some other time. Today is all about our daughter," my dad replied.I nearly laughed at his rejection but managed to hold it back.Taking my hand, my dad led me down the staircase. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mother’s sullen expression, her glare directed at me.I pretended I hadn’t noticed and continued down the stairs with my dad.A man approached us, holding a glass of wine."Cheers, Lionel! You have such a beautiful daughter," he said."Of course! She has to be beautiful; she’s my daughter," my dad replied with pride.I stood quietly beside him as he chatted briefly with the man before moving on to greet others. I sipped my drink, feeling both shy and proud as my dad showed me off."My baby, you can join them for the masquerade dance. I have something to

    LANAMy mother looked at me with such intense hatred that I knew I'd struck a nerve.Even though I didn’t want to stay with my father, seeing how restless and angry she was made me reconsider.I had made my decision: I would stay.Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her emotions and, with an expressionless face, calmly said, "Get ready. Your dad has prepared a welcome home party for you."Without waiting for a response, she turned and headed for the door. That’s when I realized the root of her anger.She was furious that my father hadn’t organized a party to welcome her as he was doing for me.How petty and narrow-minded she was! I couldn’t help but burst into laughter."Mom, it seems my dad doesn’t love you the way you want to be loved," I mocked.This time, she didn’t retort. Instead, she opened the door and slammed it behind her.I felt a rush of satisfaction from having the upper hand. Years of feeling suppressed by her made fighting back feel like a release, a way to make her ex

    LANAI expected her to hit me, but instead, she lowered her hand and tried to make peace. "Lana, can we move past this and build a better future? Dwelling on the past will only ruin our relationship. Can't you see that?"I grinned because I knew why she hadn't slapped me. She feared my father's reaction. She was only holding back because of him.I sneered, "Mother, why are you so afraid of the truth? You waited for my father because you knew he wouldn’t be a loser like your ex, Bernardo. You’re just greedy and selfish..."She cut me off, yelling, "Lana, that's enough!"Her eyes blazed with anger, and she was trembling with rage.I smiled, chuckling, "Are you angry? That's how you made me feel for years—angry, powerless, with nowhere to vent. I was filled with so much pain."She closed her eyes, trying to regain her composure. "I think you should stop, Lana. You've had your fun. Let's not make things uglier than they are."I gave her a hollow smile, ready to mock her again, but the doo

    LANAI was surprised when he brought a glass of water to my lips. As I took a sip, he flashed a smile and said, "As my only child, it's understandable that we know each other well."After taking several gulps, I was satisfied. He took the empty glass and fed me. When I was full, he asked, "Where is your mother?"Before I could answer, the door opened and my mother walked in. I looked at her intently, and Lionel, noticing my gaze, turned to see her.A big smile appeared on his face as he called out, "Darling."My mother replied, "Yes, my honey."I lay back on the bed and said loudly enough for them both to hear, "I want to sleep."I shut my eyes, and soon drifted off. When I woke, my father was gone, leaving only my mother.She looked at me with an annoyed expression. "Lana, stop pretending and get discharged already. I'm fed up with spending days here."I was shocked. I thought I'd only been in the hospital for a day. Her mention of days shook me."How many days have I been here?" I a

    LANAHe sneered, "You are the reason I am like this."I gave him a confused look, wondering what he meant by saying I was the reason he was wounded, rather than explaining that he had tried to kiss me.I vehemently resisted, my hands outstretched as I tried to push him off. He held my hands firmly."Stop trying to resist," he said. "You are the reason Maximum's men hunted me down and almost killed me. I'm going to fuck you anyway. I'm about to die, and I wonder how he would react if he knew I gave his woman the best sex before I died."Hearing this, my heart thumped wildly. I swallowed the lump in my throat; those close to death fear nothing."Please, there's no reason for you to throw your life away," I pleaded. "If you let me take you to the hospital right now, you will survive."He looked at me as if I were an idiot and then sarcastically ridiculed, "Going to the hospital? You mean taking myself into the mortuary?"My eyes widened; I didn’t understand him at all.He reached for my

    LANASeeing the handsome man before me, I understood why my mother had been so captivated by him. Even with age, his charm was undeniable.Now, I recognized where my own looks came from—both my parents were striking in their own ways.I pretended not to know him and asked, "Who are you?"The dragon tattoo on his neck didn’t seem crude; instead, it gave him a wild allure.He grinned and replied calmly, "Lionel, your father."I looked him straight in the eyes and retorted, "I’ve never met you. My mom has only ever introduced Bernardo as my father, so I don’t know you."He smiled, as if he had anticipated my resistance. Glancing at his wristwatch and then at the sky, he suggested, "Why don’t we go inside and talk? The sun will be up soon, and it’s not the best place to discuss what I need to tell you."Reluctantly, I agreed. "Alright."I opened my apartment door, and he stepped inside, taking his time to survey the space. I handed him a glass of water and said, "Please, have a seat."He

    LANAI stepped out of the taxi and walked up to Pedro, folding my arms as I asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"Pedro flashed me a warm smile and replied cheekily, "I wanted to check on my future girlfriend and see how she’s doing."Realizing he wasn’t being serious, I shook my head and said, "Stop daydreaming; Maximum and I will never break up."He spread his arms and retorted nonchalantly, "You never can tell."Then he turned and walked away without looking back. I furrowed my eyebrows, watching him leave. I didn’t know what Pedro had been hinting at lately, but I was starting to feel wary.I went inside my apartment and lay down on the bed, quickly drifting off to sleep. When I woke up, I felt as if I were being watched. I sat up and turned to see Maximum sitting in the chair.I jumped up from the bed, exclaiming, "Babe!"I ran into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me, and I curled my legs around his waist, burying my head in the crook of his neck, inhaling his familiar sc

    LANAI was taken aback, unsure of who might show up at my door besides the driver and my mom, who already knew I was back in New York. I didn't have any friends here; Bernardo had made sure of that.Another knock echoed, and curiosity got the better of me. I opened the door, and my eyes widened in disbelief."Pedro!" I exclaimed, my voice a mix of shock and surprise.He flashed a grin and replied, "Lana, you didn’t mention you were coming back! If I hadn’t been keeping tabs on you, I wouldn’t have known."I stood there, speechless. Pedro was the most stubborn person I had ever met, and his determination was something to behold."Can I come in?" he asked, noticing I hadn’t invited him inside.I shook my head firmly. "Of course not."I closed the door slightly but stood in front of it with my arms crossed, demanding, "Why are you here?"He grinned, his expression shifting to seriousness. "To see you, of course."I had anticipated that response, so I shot back, "Now that you’ve seen me,
