Salome gazed at her little sister, who lit her cigarette. She let out a painful moan, enduring the agony that coursed through her."Are you really going to leave your sister like this? Your father? Your family? Are you going to betray them like this?" Salome asked as Stacy blew out smoke from her pink lips."Family?" Stacy scoffed. "Oh, please, don't make me laugh.""I'm serious. Look, I know we've wronged you, but you can't just sell us out like this. You told the enemy how to capture us... You...""God, you're so loud. I was asked to check on you. Can you do me a favor and keep your mouth shut?" Stacy said."Stacy, we're your family...""Oh, please, can you just shut up?" Stacy groaned."I know we hate each other, but you've gone too far by betraying the whole family. Your family.""My family?!" Stacy snapped, standing up. Her gaze was cold as she approached Salome. "Father threw me out on the street. I couldn't get a job because he made things difficult for me here in Spain. And th
Tatiana opened her mouth slightly to take the food from Cassius. He had been awfully quiet since she woke up and helped her bathe.His answers were just 'Yes' or 'No.' He gave her everything she needed, and now he was feeding her. Though his gaze was calm, she could tell he was angry.She had almost lost her life, and she never told Cassius about her mission. Waves of guilt crashed over her every second."Cash," she called softly to the man who was busy cutting her steak."Hm?" he responded without looking at her."A-are you mad at me?" Tatiana knew the question was stupid. Of course, he was mad at her.Cassius paused for a moment before continuing."I found Isabella alive."He paused again, this time looking up at her with wide eyes. The shock was evident in his expression, and he looked a bit confused."I found her in the brothel. She was waiting for me the whole time—with a baby." Tatiana clenched her jaw, trying to hold back tears. "I hate myself for not telling you, and I hate my
Rafael's back hit the locker with a loud thud, and before he could breathe, his twin brother Leonard pinned his neck with an elbow. Rafael's breath seized, and he struggled to break free. "W-what are you doing?" he managed to speak, struggling."Who gave you the nerve to challenge me during dinner last night? Right in front of Father!" Leonard roared, his eyes blazing with anger."You were crossing the line. They’re our stepsisters who have suffered. You should have some respect," Rafael uttered through gritted teeth."Respect? Those bitches disrespected Father, trying to ruin our family. He taught them a lesson they deserved, and you expect me to give them respect?" Leonard scoffed. "Oh, I'll teach you what respect is."He dragged Rafael by the hair into an empty classroom, his minions following. Rafael yelped at the pain spreading across his scalp. His hands ached to remove Leonard’s grip, but his brother was too strong.Inside the room, Leonard shoved Rafael, his back hitting the
"I'm telling you, Mom. Leonard did this to me!" Rafael yelled at Odessa, who was busy applying makeup to meet her friends."Oh, please, Rafael. Why would your twin brother hurt you? Leonard is your blood. Blood doesn't hurt blood.""Well, Father hurt his three daughters. He knowingly married Maya into an abusive relationship, I heard he poisoned Tatiana, and Issabella's death was faked. He hurt them, so why wouldn’t Leonard hurt me?"Odessa paused, turning to Rafael with a frown, and was surprised he knew all this."How did you know?""Does it matter?"Odessa sighed and stood. "Look, I know what it might look like, but they deserved everything your father did to them.""But I don't deserve what Leonard is doing to me. He torments me at school every single day. He mocks me for who I am, constantly reminding me how regretful he is to have me as his brother," he paused, then continued. "He mentioned that you and Father regret having me too."Odessa stayed silent for a while, her eyes scr
Jaxon dodged the last hit and finally managed to land a punch on Valentino's jaw. They had been intensely training for the past few days, and Jaxon had learned many new skills. He didn’t wait for Valentino to recover as he swept his feet, knocking Valentino to the floor.Valentino fell, and Jaxon smirked, wiping the blood from his lips.Valentino chuckled from the ground. "Finally, dumbass. You got the trick.""Thanks for the tutoring, big guy," Jaxon said, grabbing a bottle of water and taking a drink before leaving."You're not welcome!" Valentino exclaimed.The black dire wolf, who had been watching the entire time, rushed toward Valentino and licked his face."Stop it, Loki," Valentino grumbled, turning his head away. He stood up, his eyes meeting his wife’s as she entered the room, concern etched on her face."Mi amor (my love)," he smiled and walked toward her."Mi mundo (my world)," she smiled as he stepped closer. He gently cupped her face, his gaze filled with admiration."Ar
Tatiana felt a rush of excitement strike her core. She moaned when the man grazed his teeth on her neck and then used his tongue to soothe it."Such a bad girl, making Daddy fucking hard." His husky voice and dirty words made her core throb with desire. Her breath was uneven, and her body ignited."I'm not sorry, Daddy," she whispered, wanting the man to go crazy, and he did. Like a vice, he took her neck into his hold and slammed his lips on hers. The kiss didn't start slow; instead, it was wild, demanding, and crazy.Tatiana couldn't keep up. His mouth was ravishing hers like she was his last meal. His tongue thrust in, diving deep into her mouth, tasting all of her. Tatiana moaned at his rough side. Cassius had never kissed her this hard before, and she loved it. She wanted more. But she needed to breathe, yet the man wasn't releasing her.When she reached for him, he took her hand and pinned it behind her back. Tatiana felt her mind thrill. Oh, yeah. She loved this.Her lungs bu
[BRAINSTORM HIGH SCHOOL]During class, Rafael's gaze was hard. His leg kept fidgeting under his desk. He watched the teacher's lips moving but wasn't hearing a thing.The bell-that was the only thing he was waiting for."Is your brother okay?" one of Leonard's girlfriends who sat beside him asked. Leonard's gaze shifted to Rafael, who seemed unsettled.Rafael had been acting weird lately. Always locking himself up and trying to avoid him at school. He didn't even appear during lunch and returned late to the mansion.Was he running away from him? He'd find out where he always went today.Finally, the bell rang. Rafael was the first to grab his bag and leave the class.Leonard stood and rushed to follow him. But when they got to the hall, swarmed with students, Leonard lost sight of Rafael.He kept searching for minutes until he spotted a door open. Rafael and the male teacher stepped out. Their gazes met, and Leonard swallowed at the man's cold blue eyes.He composed himself, raising h
"My father fell sick last night. Rosa called to say he had a fever. I had to rush back home. I'm sorry for not telling you. I thought you might need some rest after your return," Jolene's voice sounded over the phone, and Tatiana smiled."It's alright. I... I was just worried you left so late. How is your father's health now?" Tatiana asked."Here, talk to him," Jolene said, and Rowan's voice replaced hers."Hello, Tatiana. I'm sorry I stole Jo away. I had called her to find out where she keeps the first aid, and she came running here. Such a fragile heart she has," Rowan's voice sounded weak. He cleared his throat."It's fine. I hope the fever isn't serious?""No, it isn't. After some rest and medication, I'm as good as new," Rowan chuckled weakly."How's Rosa?" Tatiana asked."She's out," Jolene answered instead. "She went to get some appliances. The kitchen sink had a problem, and she said she could fix it... I'll head back to the mansion tomorrow. I'll see you soon, Tatie," Jolene
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
