"You think you can just leave without a trace after what happened that night?" His hands pinned her arms above her head, his piercing blue eyes boring into hers. "W-what do you mean?" she stuttered, his scent reminding her of that night—the night that had changed her life completely. "What do I mean? Are you seriously asking me that, woman? If your brain can't recall how we burned together on that bed, how about I remind you right here?" His face was dangerously close as he growled into her ear. Her eyes widened. He meant it. Every single word. He was the king of the entertainment world, after all. "Let me go," she demanded stubbornly, her voice barely audible. He let out a low, dark chuckle that sent a chill down her spine. "Let you go? Oh, I'll let you go, Tatiana. But not until you understand the consequences of crossing paths with me." •••••••••• In the world of the entertainment industry, we see constant change and creativity. Trends come and go, as do collaborations between artists and producers. This world can make anyone wish to be a part of it—it is said to be inspiring and enjoyable... Meanwhile, that's only on the surface. The same world is filled with deceit, betrayal, fake love, ruthless competition, toxic fans who could ruin you, suicide, and dissatisfaction... This world is mostly dominated by men. How can a woman, hurt by this world, face it—especially when she had a night and her life tangled with the king of them all?
View MoreMilena watched them clash like two storms colliding.No hesitation. No holding back.Rafael was a blur—faster than Leonard remembered. Every strike was brutal, precise, like he’d been waiting for this fight his entire life.Their fists met, their bones cracked, and their snarls echoed like monsters in a cage.Both were skilled; no one would know who was stronger among the brothers.Leonard went for Rafael’s throat with a wild hook, but Rafael ducked and slammed his elbow into Leonard’s ribs, sending him staggering back and coughing blood.Leonard smirked, wiping the blood off his face with the back of his hand. “That all you’ve got, little brother?”Rafael didn’t answer. He spun low and swept Leonard’s legs, sending him crashing to the floor. Rafael pounced, fists flying, hammering into Leonard’s jaw over and over.Blood splattered across the floor, warm and slick. Leonard twisted, caught Rafael’s arm, and flipped him—hard.Rafael slammed onto his back with a groan but rolled to his f
Oxford’s fingers flew over his keyboard, trying to find a way to connect with his allies. He needed someone to back him up.Gunshots echoed everywhere. It was no longer just one man with a sniper—more had come to attack them.He already sensed that Leonard and his men were cornered. But no matter how many times Oxford tried, he couldn’t get through.He had another method of connecting with his allies and requesting help, but access kept being denied. Were his allies under attack too?Each time he tried to reach them, someone—or something—kept blocking him out. A hacker? Fuck. He wasn’t that good at this stuff.“Where’s Zinnia?!” Oxford barked at X. Zinnia was the head of hacking.“She—” That was the only word X could manage before the van door swung open—no, it was ripped open.Before X could react, a dire wolf pounced on him. X shot aimlessly, hitting even the equipment in the van, as the wolf tore off his arm.Oxford cursed under his breath, watching X fight for his life. A large fi
Oxford’s van arrived at the port first. The ship was ready, and his men had already begun unloading the illegal drugs, weapons, and poison into it.He knew staying in a country dominated by Silence was a deadly risk, but he had to come. After all, one can't defeat an enemy without getting a little close.More importantly, there was his little daughter—she might have something that could help him bring Silence down. Once he got what he wanted from her, he would kill her… and if she insisted on keeping quiet, she would be tortured until death.Oxford snickered as he took a drag from his cigarette. Who would’ve thought he’d manage to break into the territory of the most dangerous man in the mafia world?And even kill one of his best men…Ha! Silence is getting old, after all. It was bound to happen. No one stays king forever.If it hadn’t been for Silence, he and Maximus would have had the entire world beneath their feet.“Rest well, brother,” Oxford muttered. That was one of the reasons
"Boss, the ship is ready," one of the men came to inform Oxford as he cleared up his equipment. "Good. Have you informed Leonard? Ask him to take the girl so we can leave immediately." The longer they stayed, the more risk they were in of getting found by Silence. That devil was unpredictable, and even though Oxford had his plans laid out and prepared, he still couldn't shake the unsettled feeling in his mind. As the door shut behind the man, Oxford went to his safe hidden behind a painting. He punched in the passcode, and the door opened, revealing a small file. Oxford took it and kept it safe in a box. After that, he stepped out of the room. Milena's breath was ragged as she darted through the dark hallway, her bare feet barely making a sound against the cold tiles. The dim lights flickered, casting eerie shadows along the walls. Her heart pounded, each beat a frantic reminder that she had little time. She didn't know the layout of the building, but that didn’t matter. Th
Milena's breath was slowly becoming uncomfortable. She had been trying to endure the pain ever since she got here.Now it was becoming unbearable. In her mouth, her tongue brushed against one of her molars, recalling how Zade had installed a tracking chip there.It was on Rafael's orders. The device was made by Rosa.At least they believed she wasn't the culprit. And probably needed her to be here. Zade had told her to rest assure and not panic no matter what.Hold on to the pain, Milena; Rafael is coming.Milena almost flinched when the door opened, Leonard stepping in, slightly disheveled. A smirk danced on his face."Hello, baby," he breathed, removing his jacket. "Take your clothes off."Milena's mind went blank. "What?""I said take your clothes off. Don't make me repeat that."Milena shook her head. "Go away."Leonard scoffed, stepping forward and pulling out a knife that glittered under the dim light of the room.Milena's heart skipped a beat."Strip, or it will stop being funn
Milena couldn't deny the fact that she was scared. Concern was etched into every nerve, but she knew one thing.He was coming for her.Rafael was coming.The space here was suffocating, and each hour that passed only made her more anxious. But she did her best to keep herself calm.Then the door of the room creaked open, revealing Rafael's brother, dressed in a white shirt and dark trousers."Being like this isn't going to help you. Either way, we're going to get information from you—hard or easy," he said, leaning against the threshold of the door, his arms crossing his broad chest."If you think I'm going to tell you about Rafael, you're wasting your time. You won't hear a word," she assured him.Leonard chuckled. "Let me guess—you think he's going to come for you, right?" He sighed and began approaching her. "I've known Rafael for years. He's a weak idiot I love to bully. He cries like a baby whenever I hit him or say something harsh."Leonard clicked his tongue as he stopped right
Rosa stepped into the dimly lit room, her gaze unreadable as it settled on Angie, who was all tied up.Angie, feeling her presence, raised her head to look at her. Dry tears could be seen on her face, as if she had cried for too long.They stared at each other for a long while before Angie finally broke the silence between them. “I heard Mr. King is here. Silence’s son.”Rosa clicked her tongue and scoffed. “I can't believe you,” she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.Angie gave her a small, painful smile. “I don't deserve your forgiveness. No matter what I do, no matter what I say, what I did to you and the family because of my selfish desire cannot be forgiven.”Rosa looked away, clenching her fists tightly. “You're right,” she drew in a deep breath. “You're the worst.”Angie nodded slowly. “I know. And I know how you're going to feel better.”Rosa raised a brow, giving her a questioning look. “What?”“Kill me,” Angie said with utmost solemnity. “Take a gun, put a bullet in my
“Your mother was a good woman. A beautiful, nice, and calm independent woman when I first met her,” Dr. Oxford began as he served Milena some tea.Milena simply glanced at it, then looked up at the man, her eyes revealing a clarity that she wasn't going to drink it.Dr. Oxford continued, “Her name was Tanya. A bold blonde woman. You look so much like her,” he commented with a smile. “Tanya and I met at the hospital. She was hit by a stray bullet, and I saved her. From there, we began to talk, chat, and soon desire emerged between us, and… we fucked," he shrugged and took a sip of his own tea.Milena scoffed. “Desire and not love.”Dr. Oxford smiled. “There's no such thing as love in the mafia world,” he said. “No such thing. It is simply desire, one that fades as time goes on.”“So what happened to her?”“She got pregnant, and due to my world being hard for her, she left and had you without my knowledge,” he said, his voice sounding nonchalant even though he tried to hide it. “I wasn'
Rafael heard the gunshot but didn't bother going back; instead, he needed to release Milena before going to Silence.He had already caught the culprit and couldn't wait to set her free.Reaching the passage, Rafael frowned at the strange feeling that hit him.Something had gone wrong; it was eerily quiet and dark. Rafael found the light switch, and when he turned it on, his eyes widened.Several mobsters were lying lifelessly on the floor, their skin green just like Viktor. It was the same culprit who killed Viktor.“Milena,” Rafael muttered, and immediately, he sped through the corridor to the room where Milena was kept.The chair was empty; the chain that had bound her now lay on the floor.Rafael's lips parted, dread seeping through his core. His eyes darted frantically, his heart racing.“Milena… no,” he mumbled, quickly searching the room, but there was no sign of her.“Milena!” he yelled, storming out. His hands ran through his hair.The intruder must have taken her.“Fuck!!!”*
"What's with the long face, darling?" Nathan, Tatiana's fiancé, whispered as he placed a stunning silver necklace around her neck that matched her wedding gown. "Nervous?" he asked, and she nodded with a small smile. "Yeah, me too. I can't believe you'll be my wife in the next hour. It means the world to me, my love." Tatiana chuckled at Nathan's words, her happiness clear in her voice. But as soon as he excused himself and left the room, her smile faded, replaced by a mix of emotions. It was her wedding day, yet she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside her. Nathan's suspicious behavior lately had left her puzzled, and part of her felt that something was off. Despite being bound to Nathan, the CEO of Stardust Entertainment Company, by her overbearing tycoon father for the past five years, Tatiana had genuinely grown to love Nathan's sweet and charming side. However, the doubts lingering in her mind refused to dissipate, casting a shadow over her joy...
