"Huh?" Tatiana’s lips parted in confusion. She hadn’t expected such a question."I don’t repeat myself," Cassius raised an eyebrow, his voice firm."And I don’t understand why you’re asking such a thing, Mr. King. How would you feel if you were separated from the person you love most and then asked how you felt about it?""You’re doing that right now.""Don’t twist my words," Tatiana tried to hide how their closeness was affecting her.Cassius let out a soft chuckle, releasing her. "Prepare something for the guest," he directed to the butler nearby, who immediately complied."I’m not taking anything here...""Are you going to keep acting feisty so I can double your punishment?"Tatiana swallowed her remaining words and bit her lip. Double her punishment? Whatever that meant, she knew it was definitely not something good.He walked past her to the living room and sat on the couch, waiting for her to join him.When she remained standing, he asked, "Why are you still standing, Little Reb
His question hung in the air, as silence filled the room. One could hear a pin drop.Cassius had gone to get Dylan's favorite cookies as an extra snack for his lunch. Just a moment after leaving his son, he encountered a bastard spilling nonsense to him—the infamous Nathan Redmond, a man Cassius had long awaited to confront.Tatiana's words echoed in his head, fueling his anger: 'I found my fiancé cheating right on my wedding day. He humiliated me, and I had to leave the country just to avoid my father's wrath...'This man had the audacity to approach his son, and the school had allowed it? What if he hadn’t come back in time?“Mister... uh, I guess this was a misunderstanding—”“Misunderstanding?” Cassius's voice cut the headmaster's words off. “If this man tried to take the boy away, I'm quite sure you would have allowed it, wouldn't you?”His question made the headmaster swallow, knowing he was right. He glanced over at Nathan, as if waiting for an explanation.Even with half of C
"That's not the point here," he stated, and Indigo felt he was avoiding the question."It doesn't matter. If you're accepting the child, once we get married, I'll treat him like my own—""Indigo," he cut in, his voice laced with slight anger."Please, Cash, please. I can't lose you. I know you warned me about this day, but I can't. Don't, please," she shook her head. "Please."Cassius's gaze didn't soften, and guilt flashed in his eyes, but he had warned her. She suddenly wiped her tears and sniffed.Shaking her head, she clenched her jaw. "I hate you." She dashed out of the office afterward.Hudson came in shortly after, with a worried look. He immediately understood the situation upon meeting Cassius's gaze."Will she be alright?" Cassius asked him. Indigo was his childhood friend who had helped him, and he felt guilty for hurting her, but he had no choice."She will, with time. At least you were honest with her. I know she'll understand," Hudson said, soothing some of the heaviness
He kissed her!He was true to his word, leaving her breathless as his lips moved wildly against hers. She gasped when he pulled her waist closer, giving him the chance to thrust his tongue in.Soft, addictive, inviting, and sweet. He couldn’t get enough. He deepened the kiss, demanding more—it was just like that night, a night he would never forget.He recalled how she barged into his room, drunk, and before he could speak, she crashed those same addictive lips onto his. Cassius remembered how he couldn’t stop himself that night, devouring her as if he owned her.Now, he was tasting those lips again, fucking addictive. His tongue rolled against hers, prompting her response, and when she moaned into his mouth, he gently grazed her lower lip with his teeth, earning another moan.With every nerve, he suppressed his urge and broke the kiss. His eyes fixed on her lips, slightly swollen and wet, tears pricking at the corner of her eyes as she tried to catch her breath.She slowly opened her
The news of Cassius and Indigo's engagement being called off spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of Australia and beyond.Netizens were left wondering about the reason. No explanation was provided, but it was obvious that this was Mr. King's decision.Just when they thought the cold Mr. King had finally found a woman, the engagement was called off."This is unbelievable! It still feels like I'm dreaming, Tatie. What could be the reason? It's so shocking!" While Jolene rambled about the news, Tatiana’s expression was slightly disturbed.What could have made Cassius decide such a thing? Was it because of her? That can’t be possible.Her mind drifted to the kiss, and her face turned red. Jolene noticed it."Did you blush because you knew the reason was you?" Jolene asked teasingly."I'm seriously considering removing that tongue of yours.""I heard from Catelyn that you spent the night at his mansion...""Nothing happened!" Tatiana almost yelled, her face turning red."I didn't a
The woman before Cassius broke into a cold sweat after hearing his order. She hadn't signed up for a torture like this."Please...""Do what I say, or you'll wish you had," Cassius's piercing blue eyes seemed to scream, 'You're doomed!'The woman looked at Tatiana, silently begging for pity.Tatiana stared back with a cold expression, clearly waiting for her to follow through. The woman’s heart sank—her face might fall off!"Are you testing my patience?" Cassius’s cold voice snapped her back to reality."One," he began counting. If he left, her punishment would only worsen. The others watching gave her pitying looks.Even the two girls who had insulted Tatiana trembled secretly in fear."Two."The woman quickly knelt beside the bowl of hot water. She dipped her face in briefly, and immediately, her scream echoed through the whole place. The pain was far worse than she had imagined.Watching the woman tremble in pain brought a small, satisfied smile to Cassius’s face. He then returned
After making several mistakes, the director in charge of Indigo's shoot sighed."What’s the problem, Indigo? Are you not feeling well, dear?" he asked gently.Indigo immediately apologized. "I'm sorry. I'm okay, just not feeling too well.""You know we can't delay this shoot. That would be a huge loss for us, ma'am. If you can't do it, please let me know," he said.Indigo knew he was trying to hold back from yelling at her because of her status in the industry. She had never been like this before, making several mistakes."I'll give it another try, Director. I'm sorry," Indigo said, and the director nodded.After her shoot, her assistant rushed to her with a bottle of water. She had almost been replaced because of her mood."Do I have another schedule for today?" she asked after drinking enough water."No, ma'am. The weekend is clear too," her assistant replied."Alright," Indigo said, noticing the stares of others. They quickly averted their gaze when it met hers. She knew what they
Cassius had thought about how he would punish her when he arrived. She was stubborn, disobedient, and his crazy little rebel.So many thoughts dove into his head the moment he saw her draped in just a towel. Fucking perfect.His eyes scrutinized her from head to toe. Her wet hair glued to her face made her look incredibly hot, her skin begging for his attention, and he couldn’t stop himself from kissing those wet lips that had him addicted. The thought of her driving him crazy made him kiss her harder, demanding her response.When she didn’t respond, he went to the next level, pulling up the towel only to find that she had been resisting. She told him to stop, which only added to his anger.He wanted to pin her to the bed and drive some sense into her, but that would be moving too fast.Instead, he held her neck with his other hand and whispered dirty words in her ear. She finally spilled out what she yearned for: "Please, fuck me with your fingers."He drove one of his fingers into h
The trainees aligned in a cue, hands behind their backs, heads straight up, and shoulders squared. Milena took a deep breath, trying her best to control the storm within her.Angie disliked her. She admitted it clearly the moment she came into the room and threatened her. Milena could only hope she would survive today and not end up with bruises.Besides, there was a party to attend on Friday night, which was two days away.Angie walked toward them with slow, deliberate steps, her eyes scanning each trainee like a predator sizing up its prey. Her gaze lingered on Milena a second too long, making her skin prickle."Alright," Angie said, her voice sharp and commanding. "Today’s going to be different. Viktor might have gone easy on you before, but I won’t. If you want to survive in this world, you’ll need more than just willpower. You’ll need strength, endurance, and above all—discipline."Her eyes narrowed on Milena. "And some of you… have a long way to go."Milena’s stomach knotted. Sh
The sound of his name on her lips was like an addictive song to him. The taste of her folds was like an addictive meal.Where the hell has she been all his life?!Rafael took her greedily, nibbling her sensitive flesh and licking her fluid. So good.His tongue parted her walls, then he shoved it in and out of her.He could tell she was over the moon, judging from her loud moans. The way her body slammed back to him when his tongue went in was the best sight.He took his time savoring her and tasting all of her. Her hand reached for his black hair, tangling her fingers through it and pulling him closer for more.“Oh fûck!” she cursed under her breath, lips parted as her eyes rolled to the back of her head.Her thighs tensed under his hold, and soon she released her wetness.Rafael took all of it, not missing a drop. He licked her dry and kissed her stomach.However, Milena, who had just experienced something out of this world, lay down on the floor breathing hard.Whatever had just hap
Fuck!Fuck!She did it! He wanted her to be the one to submit, and she did. Rafeal's mind went wild but he kept them in check.Her lips remained pressed against his, unmoved. She was inexperienced. It was her first time.Why was she so pure? So pure and trapped with a devil like him. Trapped in his own world. His domain. His hell.He wanted to spoil her… to feel every inch of her. Milena was inexperienced, waiting for his reaction, but he did nothing. She made to pull away, but he slammed his lips back on hers, this time taking the lead.He nibbled her soft lips one after the other, taking each turn to savor the sweetness of them.It was good. Too good. How the fuck did she taste this good? Slowly, she got the hang of it, moving her lips against his and mimicking his movements. She was a fast learner, and… damn! Why the hell was it driving him so crazy?He could kiss her all day.Addictive. He wanted more. Rafeal reached to hold her face in place; his tongue shot out, parting her l
Angie delivered a punch to a man's face. He staggered back with a bleeding lip. Just as he was about to fall, Angie held his collar, pulling him closer with a glare.“How could you let her in when you clearly know the rules? Rafael never lets anyone in.”The man with the bleeding lip gasped in fear. “I'm sorry, madam, but she mentioned you had summoned her and that Rafael needed to see her for an important reason.”Angie frowned at his words. What a tricky little girl she was.“And you believed her?” Angie questioned, her eyes growing colder.The man hesitated before speaking. “Well... I heard she sleeps in the Boss’s room, so I thought she might be special and wasn't lying. So I let her in... I'm sorry,” he said, his words tumbling out quickly.Angie shut her eyes, taking a deep breath to ease the anger in her chest before finally letting go of him.“You're very lucky that I'm in a good mood today because I badly want to gouge out your eyes right now,” she threatened, and the man bow
Milena asked around, tracing Angie but found herself at the gate of a new place. She hadn’t seen much of the Deathroll's confinement yet, only the training grounds, the common halls, and gym. But this… this was different.The pathway was made up of smooth stones, leading her to a garden.The sight brought a smile to her face. Oh, she loved the garden. The smell of fresh flowers filled her nostrils, and the rooftop was made of transparent glass that revealed the night sky above.The place was a breath of fresh air, an aura of tranquility she didn't want to leave.She spotted a pool—it was crystal clear, beautiful. Who would have thought a place like this existed in a clan?The fancy light in the room cast a soft glow, accentuating its beauty.In awe, Milena absorbed all the amazing features in the room. Her lips parted in wonder, but she gasped as a deep voice sounded behind her."What are you doing here?"Rafael stood a little distance from her with his hands tucked into his pockets.
Rafael stepped into his personal gym, stripping down his upper clothing, revealing his thick muscles that rippled beneath the surface.He wore his bouncer gloves and faced the punching bag with a hard look on his face.His jaw was tight, his muscles tense. Without hesitation, he threw the first punch, the impact making the bag jerk violently.Another punch. Then another. His knuckles ached, but he didn’t stop. The frustration boiling inside him needed an outlet, and this was the only way he knew how to deal with it.It was happening again... the stupid nightmare of him killing his twin brother years ago was beginning to mess with his brain. The fact that they still haunted him was driving him mad.Rafael kept hitting the bag as if his life depended on it. Each punch was brutal and full of anger and frustration.Silence had left for the mission to gather more information about the hidden alliance of the Wallington… he wanted it to be his own mission, but Silence had left refusing to le
Rafael caught up with Milena, walked past her, and led her through the passage.Milena stared at his back, the words she had said last night lingering in her head. Should she apologize for it?She couldn't help the unsettled feeling growing inside her.Up ahead, Milena could hear gunshots, indicating they were close to the training ground. The sounds grew louder, and it took all of Milena's will not to hold her ears to block out the noise.They reached the training ground, the sharp sounds of gunshots filling the air. The atmosphere was tense, with men scattered around, either practicing with weapons or sparring with each other.Milena's palms turned sweaty as she tried to focus, but it was hard not to feel the weight of their eyes on her.Rafael moved toward the table stacked with weapons, grabbing a handgun.“Put this on,” he said, pointing to the protective gear hanging nearby.Milena nodded, feeling the familiar knot in her stomach as she grabbed the vest and helmet. Her fingers f
Milena woke up alone in the bed today. There was no sign of Rafael. Didn't he come back last night?She got down from the bed, preparing herself for the day. This time she used the bathroom quicker and was out.Milena dressed in a simple black tank top and loose joggers, the most comfortable dress she could find in the closet, one that Rafeal had set for her.Her hair was still damp from the quick shower, and she ran a hand through it, pushing the strands back as she stepped out of the room.Exhaling, she nodded at her reflection and stepped out. Today, she was going to have gun training with Rafael.The thought of it created a knot in her stomach. Why did he always have this effect on her whenever she thought of him?She made her way to the ground where she slowly heard chatter and laughter.Her palms met nervously as she stepped out, meeting the others' gazes.They all suddenly stopped what they were doing. Those smiling faces suddenly dropped, becoming expressionless.Milena felt o
Milena swallowed the bile that rose in her throat, feeling vulnerable before him. Her fingers trembled as they gripped the towel tighter, her nails digging into the damp fabric. She willed herself to stay strong, to not let him see how much he affected her. But Rafael was a predator, and she was trapped in his sights.“Are you still scared of me?” he asked softly, his thumb caressing her cheek. He seemed to have noticed that she was trembling slightly.Milena stayed silent, her eyes locked with his. The grip on her towel remained firm.Rafael tilted his head. “You know I promise not to hurt you, right?”“Only if I obey your command,” Milena completed his words. “That's what you said.” Now that she thought of it, she didn't know what to call him.Calling him by his name might upset him. For a fleeting moment, she thought of hurling his name at him to see his reaction.Maybe she should do it… but he interrupted.“That doesn't mean you should be scared. You only need to follow my command
