[HOSPITAL]The steady beep of the machine and the soft hiss of the oxygen tank filled the ward as a young nurse jotted down the condition of the woman lying on the bed.The machine monitored every heartbeat and breath of the woman as her chest heaved slowly.The nurse sighed and paused for a moment to stare at the woman. The doctor had said she would be waking up soon, but it had already been a month. She slowly turned to leave but halted when she heard a soft moan.With wide eyes, her head snapped back to the woman.The woman’s eyelids fluttered and slowly opened. The nurse gasped; the book in her hand fell. She dashed out of the ward to inform the doctor.After more than six years, she finally woke up."Cassius," the woman mumbled.-Daniel weakened on his knees. Sweat cascaded down his face as he watched Cassius stand before him.Cassius faced the audience, and shocking news left his lips."Tatiana Karen is signed with the King Company."What the heck!...Did I just hear the Kings?
"How long was I in a coma?" Aurora asked Hudson. Hudson had received the information first and arrived before informing Cassius."Almost seven years, Auntie," Hudson responded, his eyes teary. Joy coursed through every part of his being.Though Aurora looked weak and lean, it seemed she was forcing herself to stay awake for Cassius."He'll be here soon," Hudson said, and just after his words, fast footsteps could be heard.Cassius appeared at the entrance. His hair was a bit messy, his breath ragged as his eyes widened upon spotting her."Cash. My boy," Aurora called, her eyes crinkling on one side as she smiled."Mom," Cassius sighed in relief. He approached her, hoping it wasn't a dream. He knelt before her, and her hand reached for his face."My king, you’ve grown so well," she muttered, and he immediately hugged her, not too tight because of her condition."Thank you, Mom. Thank you for surviving," he whispered, tears welling up in his eyes."I am the strongest woman, remember? Th
Divorce?Cassius's blood boiled at the thought of letting Tatiana go. His eyes darkened."Cassius, I know what you might be thinking..." His grandfather tried to speak, but Cassius cut in coldly."You once told me how you fought till the end just to be with Grandma. Now you're telling me to give up on the woman who pulled me out of the dark?" he asked, his voice as cold as ice."Fighting them would mean endangering your loved ones. Your mother almost died because..." his grandfather said."And you asked me not to chase them. I would have burned the fucking Wallingtons alive. I had a plan, but you stopped me. I'll destroy their chain and be with her, even if it means burning down the world. You did that for Grandma, then why are you stopping me?"A sigh came from the other side, indicating his grandfather's surrender. Everything Cassius said was right. The Wallington family would always be in their way.The only way to stop this was to destroy them. Mr. Holden, Cassius's grandfather, h
The Kings' hall was filled with numerous artists clad in their various attires. They all had cheerful smiles on their faces. Musicians, actors, models, directors, producers, and others chatted with each other."Dee, Cash will be here soon..." Hudson's words were cut short as Indigo claimed his lips. He forgot his remaining words and kissed her back hard, gently pinning her against the wall.Indigo reached for his hand and placed it on her backside."Dee," he whispered."Shh," Indigo bit down on his lower lip and whispered, "Just a little play won’t hurt."Hudson kissed her passionately, his hand groping her ass, and she moaned."Oh, Huds."Jaxon was seated around the corner with other female artists who kept trying to gain his attention. His eyes were fixed on the entrance. She had yet to arrive.He grabbed a cup of wine, drank from it, and left the hall to make a call.It was his grandfather.After hearing all that Cassius planned to do, his face dropped.-Tatiana finally appeared b
A clash echoed through the hall as one of the artists dropped her glass of wine. Every artists jaw dropped, and their eyes widened in shock.Tatiana was no exception; her entire body froze at Cassius's actions. His lips were on hers, one arm possessively holding her waist close, while the other rested on her face.His lips moved slowly as his tongue slid out, forcing her mouth to open for him. As if under a spell, Tatiana found herself closing her eyes and opening her mouth to respond.The only sound she could hear was her fast-beating heart and the sound of their lips moving against each other. Her mind went haywire.She slid her arms around his neck, wrapping them tightly, while he pulled her waist closer. A light, soft moan escaped her throat.As they broke the kiss, Tatiana noticed the smirk on his lips, and then she realized they were still in the King's hall. She had responded to the kiss in front of everyone.One of the artists choked on her saliva and began to cough.Her face
Jolene pressed her lips together, wondering what she was doing. She noticed how Jaxon behaved strangely toward Hudson and left for the garden at the back of the hall. And now, she was going to him.Jolene found Jaxon drinking under a tree. He seemed to sense her presence and looked at her, his expression unreadable. He was wearing a black shirt with a few buttons undone and black pants."Hey," his voice slurred as he returned his gaze to the sky, taking a sip from his drink.Jolene approached him slowly and stood by his side."Is everything okay?" she asked."Is cutie worried about me?" he mumbled."I don't like people who drink," she said, and Jaxon looked at her. She couldn't fathom the look on his face, but what he did next shocked her.He threw the bottle away."I only drink when I'm upset," he explained."Upset about what?""The world.""Does it involve big boss?" Jolene asked, and he smirked."Are you a detective?""My father and I used to play detective when I was young," she s
Tatiana's scream pierced the air. Her eyes shut tightly, and her breath hitched. It seemed the same happened to everyone else because the place turned silent.Oh heavens, what just happened?Tatiana's eyes flew wide open when Dylan's voice broke the silence."Mom!"She raised her head, only to see that the girl hadn't stabbed her son. The lady had an unreadable expression, her eyes scrutinizing Tatiana closely.Tatiana watched as the girl released Dylan. The moment that happened, Dylan ran towards her, and Tatiana did the same.A wave of relief washed over her as she felt her son in her arms again. She cried, knowing she had almost lost him."Are you okay?" she asked, her eyes roaming over his body.Dylan nodded, and she hugged him again."I'm so sorry. I'm deeply sorry, my love," she whispered.Slowly, Tatiana's red eyes shifted to the lady who had already been caught by the guards. It seemed she didn’t even try to run; she just stared at her.Leaving Dylan with Jolene, Tatiana march
On the fourth ring, Cassius answered the phone. "Hello, Rebel," his voice sounded a bit weak, as if he had just woken up. "Hey, uh... Sorry I woke you up," Tatiana said, her voice low. "Hm, you sound disturbed. Are you okay?" he asked gently. "I should be asking you that. How's business?" she inquired, her mind wavering on whether to tell Cassius about Rosa but deciding to wait. She wanted to see what Rosa was talking about before mentioning it to him. Even though Rowen trusted Rosa, Tatiana knew it wasn’t a trap. She could tell that Rosa was telling the truth. "Pretty stressful. I miss you and my little man. I'll wrap this up soon and return home as fast as I can," Cassius assured her. Silence settled between them for a while, as if they were both lost in their own thoughts. "Cash," Tatiana broke the silence again. "Please stay safe. I miss you too, and I love you." "I love you too, Wifey. Let me know if there's any trouble, okay?" "Hm." The call ended after a long conversa
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
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
