A loud gasp escaped Tatiana's lips as she snapped out of her nightmare. She was breathing hard, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead as she immediately sat up.Her eyes darted and fell on Cassius, who was working on his system."Are you okay?" he asked softly, his voice dripping with concern as he rose from the chair."Cash!" She yanked off the duvet and swung her feet down. She dashed toward him and hugged him tight. "You're alive... you're okay," she sobbed on his chest."Alive?" His perfect brows creased, and his hand reached for her hair."Dylan? Where's Dylan!" She suddenly broke the hug, worry blanketing her eyes.Storming out, she went straight to Dylan's room. When she saw her son lying peacefully, she breathed out in relief. Tears streamed down her face as she ran to hold him in her arms just to feel him.Even with how gently she held him, Dylan's eyes fluttered open. A small frown appeared on his adorable face."Mother?" A wave of relief washed over Tatiana upon hearing
Gavin slowly nodded, and they were given prompts.Gavin circled his arm around Tatiana's waist. His hand didn't touch her body, though it looked like it did in the camera.He was sweating, and he forced himself to stare at her affectionately. Tatiana did the same, and the shot was taken.Just three shots were enough. Gavin left immediately after he was done.--[AIRPORT]An uproar erupted when a figure stepped down from the plane. Fans crowded the area with flowers, gifts, and so on. They took many pictures of him and tried to move closer, pushing each other as they got wild at the sight of him."Jaxon!!!""Fuck, I love you, Jaxon! Welcome back!!""Kiss my lips, please hold me!""You're the most handsome man on the planet, Jaxon!!""Your autograph, I'm gonna frame it on my fucking wall!!"Jaxon, one of the most popular actors in the world, had won many awards. He started acting at the age of six, and every one of his movies was a hit.He was tall and handsome, with a chiseled jaw that
"How was Tokyo, Jax?" one of the female artists around Jaxon asked, her hand reaching out to caress his."It was good. A man once bought a ladder to a party because he heard the drinks were on the house," Jaxon responded, and they all laughed. His eyes returned to the figure that had caught his attention the moment she stepped in."And what did the others say to him?" one of the female artists’ voices snapped him back."They laughed, of course. Tokyo is quite interesting. They've got skills when it comes to craft and portrait. They have nice women too," Jaxon replied, and a fleeting look of jealousy flashed on the woman's face.Not only was Jaxon Mr. King's cousin, but he was also handsome, a flirt, and unlike Cassius, who had a cold aura, Jaxon’s was one of approachability."Okay, now where the heck is my cousin?" Jaxon frowned, looking around.--"Ohmm... Hmp... ohh... oh God."Tatiana's moans filled the room, accompanied by the sound of the desk creaking beneath her.Cassius's mind
"Speak what?" Nathan asked inwardly. He tried to find his voice but couldn't. He was traumatized. Cassius was a devil in disguise."Speak," Tristan spat. His smile had disappeared, replaced by a hint of anger. Tristan didn’t have the gift of patience. He’s a psychopath.Tristan’s fist flew to Nathan’s face, delivering a swift hit that forced a painful groan out of Nathan’s throat."Speak," he demanded after Nathan forced himself to sit again. Blood stained his lips. When Nathan didn’t reply, Tristan struck him on the same cheek.Nathan’s eyes blurred. The hit was harder than the first. He saw stars."Speak!" he demanded again and made to hit him once more."What do you think you're doing!?" one of the other cellmates stood up. The other one joined as well.Tristan looked at both of them. "What does it look like? I’m forcing him to speak.""If he doesn’t want to speak, then let it be. You can’t treat a crippled man like that..." the first one spoke.Tristan raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t y
Tatiana forgot how to use her mouth. She remained frozen, pale, and confused. She gauged his reaction intently."If you're worried about the media, then we'll just sign the papers. And whenever you're ready to let the whole world know, I'll give you the most beautiful wedding you can imagine," he whispered.Tatiana swallowed. "How long have you been thinking about it?""Every single day. I want you."Tatiana's lips curled up. "I'm pretty offended."Cassius blinked once. Right, fuck! No rings, no kneeling, no surprise. He proposed to her while sitting on his lap."Fuck, I'm sorry. I should have done the formalities. I still can. I'll get the rings and—"Tatiana shut him up with a kiss and looked at him."I don't care about the formalities," she whispered and trailed her hand to his shirt, her fingers working on his buttons. "I expect Mr. King to shove the ring on my finger without me saying yes. I'm yours, why bother asking?"Cassius grinned. He held her hair and claimed her lips. His
The "Rise of Ruby" trailer was finally out. It became the top search news. Just as the Netizens had expected, it was mind-blowing.The thrills, the suspense, the action, and the perfection of the characters were all there. The movie solely gained popularity because of Tatiana's character."This is a miracle. Congratulations, Tatiana. I can't imagine how this movie is going to blow people's minds. I'm anticipating!" Catelyn said over the video call.Tatiana chuckled, her face blooming with happiness. Her recent days were some of the happiest of her life."Thanks, Cat. Gosh! I've missed you so much. How's the little one over there?" Tatiana asked with a sweet smile. She watched as Catelyn stood up on her screen, revealing the baby's face.Her grandson was indeed beautiful. It reminded her of when she had Dylan.Her son was everything to her. She would risk everything and her life to protect him. After talking to Catelyn, Tatiana sighed.Tomorrow, she would be getting married to Cassius
Jaxon's voice dripped with shock, anger, and disbelief. Tatiana was confused by his expression. Did he know her from somewhere?"What do you mean?" she asked."Jax," Cassius called from behind."She doesn't know, does she? You didn't tell her what her father did," Jaxon spoke again, his eyes still locked with hers.Her father? Mr. Wallington?Tatiana looked at Cassius, standing behind Jaxon, wondering what they were talking about."About what?" she asked.Jaxon looked at Cassius. "You didn’t?""Tell me what?" Tatiana stepped forward, seeing guilt flash in Cassius's eyes. "What did he do?""C'mon, Cash, tell her," Jaxon said, and Cassius clenched his jaw, his eyes throwing daggers at Jaxon. Cassius gestured to Butler Conrad to take Dylan upstairs. Once he was gone, Cassius faced Tatiana."My mother's accident—" he paused and sighed. "Rebel, it doesn't matter. You're not him. You're not a Wallington.""I still want to know, Cash. Was he—" her voice trailed off as a thought struck her. "
[KING'S COMPANY]Indigo smiled as Tatiana's words about joining the King's company echoed in her ears. Even with her movie about to air, she was excited. She had spread the word to her connected friends and even promoted it.Indigo watched the shoot and thought about asking Tatiana to join the modeling world. She would definitely do well in that area.Her smile disappeared when she spotted Hudson. He was talking to a female artist who kept smiling at his words. Indigo noticed the interest in the artist's eyes, and Hudson didn't seem to mind.Before she knew it, her feet carried her to him. They stopped talking, sensing her presence."Hudson, let's talk," Indigo requested firmly, her eyes throwing daggers at the female artist, who blinked in confusion."Sure, but allow me to..."Hudson stopped talking when she shifted her cold gaze to him."Right, let's talk now," he corrected and stood to follow her.As they reached outside, Indigo turned to him. "What were you guys discussing?"Hudso
“Come on… it's a reunion dance. You can find her later; she'll be fine.” Angie shook her shoulder to the tune of the music. As Rafael made to speak again, she cut him off. “Afraid that I might beat you like the last time? Just say it; you can't dance better than me.”Rafael scoffed; the challenge made him smirk. “Seriously?”“Yeah, seriously. I'm going to beat you again. Remember you told me you were going to beat me the next time we danced together?”Rafael nodded. “Alright… don't go crying.” He said, drinking some alcohol before joining her to dance.The beat of the music thumped through the club as Rafael and Angie moved to the rhythm. Angie swayed with ease, a playful smirk on her face as she tried to outdance him. Rafael wasn’t one to back down from a challenge, especially not from Angie."You call that dancing?" he teased, spinning around her, his movements smooth and calculated.Angie laughed, tossing her hair back. "Oh, please. You're just warming up."Rafael smirked, stepping
Zade laughed at her pale face. “Just kidding.” He cleared his throat. “Did Rafael really buy you the clothes?” he asked in surprise.“Yes. Is that weird?” she asked, looking around and feeling glad the mobsters had their attention on their business. Though a few guys gave her looks, none approached her because of Zade, and Milena was grateful for it.Zade led her to a counter, helping her settle down.“A drink?” he offered.“Huh? No… I don't drink…”“Seriously?” Zade chuckled. “You need to feel the atmosphere. It would be boring without a drink.”Milena pressed her lips together as Zade slid a cup to her. She looked at the liquid and then back at Zade.She reached for it and took a deep breath before bringing the cup to her lips to drink. But just as the drink was about to touch her lips, someone took it from her.Milena looked up, meeting Rafael's gaze.“Rafael…”“She said she doesn't drink.” Dropping the cup with a loud thud, his eyes locked onto Zade, the air between them a little
It was finally the moment they all had been waiting for: the party.Many of the mobsters were looking forward to this day—a day they could call their own. No training, no missions…just fun.The air was filled with tranquility and excitement. The smiles and happiness on their faces were evident.It was a wild party filled with games, fun, and, of course, sex.Rosa spun to look at Viktor, whose eyes widened with admiration and love.“How do I look?” she asked, raising her head high and posing for him. She was wearing a purple short gown that clung to her slim, tall body.She was beautiful, with her light makeup and jewelry on. Her heels made soft clicks as she approached the stunned man sitting on the bed, completely speechless.His reaction made her know for sure that she was absolutely beautiful.She climbed onto him, parted her legs, and brought her ass against him.“Breathe, baby,” she whispered, kissing his lips gently.Viktor chuckled. “You've stolen my breath away,” he whispered
Viktor frowned as he spotted Rosa sitting alone in a dimly lit room. He seemed to be deep in thought, not even noticing when he stood close to her.“Rosa?” he called but got no response. “Rosa,” he called again, this time shaking her shoulder gently.Rosa snapped out of her trance, meeting his gaze.“Viktor?” she whispered, clearing her throat. “What are you doing here?”“I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here all alone in the dark?” he asked, his voice tinged with worry.“Nothing… I just needed some time alone. And I'm already leaving.” As she made to walk past him, Viktor held her back.“C'mon, you don't need to keep that locked inside you.”Rosa’s jaw clenched. “Let go,” she demanded, but Viktor did the opposite by pulling her close for a hug.Rosa froze in his embrace, but she didn't return the hug. Viktor drew her closer.“Please,” he whispered, and Rosa slowly broke into tears. Her once brave and smiling self disappeared, replaced by a broken woman who felt
Milena woke up around evening time. Her eyes fluttered open to the strange room. The memory slipped in, and she recalled having a fist training with Angie, getting hurt, and Rosa taking her to the doctor before she passed out.Slowly, she sat up, feeling the pain already fading away. All she had were small aches in her bones… part of her was wrapped in bandages, covered so well as she healed.Milena sighed. The fight in the morning had been pretty scary. For a moment, she thought she was going to die.She was relieved that Rosa stepped in, but then her heart clenched in a strange way. Was she that weak?“Little flower?” Rafael's voice caught her attention; her eyes flicked in his direction in surprise. He stepped into the room, looking worried.“Rafael?” she whispered, feeling her worries wash away at the sight of him.He moved closer, holding her hand gently. “Hey, are you okay? Are you feeling any pain?” The way he stared at her in concern surprised her.Milena nodded. “I’m better.
Rafael decided to check on Milena. He did that sometimes whenever she trained. Though, she didn't see him whenever he visited. It was a sneak peek. His little flower was really trying her best to be strong.The sight of her determination brought a proud smile to his face sometimes.After he was done with his own work, he headed to the training center. However, what he heard sent a shock through his bones.Milena was hurt and had been taken to the clan doctor.“Who trained her today?” Rafael asked one of the mobsters, his voice rougher than usual.“Miss Angie,” he replied, and Rafael's jaw clenched. Without a word, he spun around and headed to the medical center.Reaching there, Rafael's eyes darkened at the sight of Milena. She was lying on the bed, eyes closed, her skin bruised, and her face slightly swollen.As he rushed in, the doctors in the room stood and gave him a light bow.“How is she?” he asked, his eyes not leaving her for a moment.“She has several bruises and a broken rib
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
