REBEL

Piece by piece, the parasite gnawed away at my patience. Not the marble flooring, the lavish chandeliers, or even the dizzying city vistas from the penthouse windows, but rather being imprisoned in this rich jail, choked me. He was the one. Daniel. His obsessive urge to keep me "safe," his all-consuming infatuation, and his continual monitoring Secure? From what? The entire world? Me? He was unable to comprehend. Then there was his devoted friend Michael, who had likewise determined that I needed to be protected and pampered. Every move I took and every breath I took was tracked by the two of them. Months had passed. Months of oppressive attention to detail, guards following me like shadows, and Daniel's refusal To give me even a moment of solitude. However, tonight was different. Daniel had a crucial meeting that he was unable to cancel for the first time in what seemed like an eternity. His second-in-command, Klaus, was left to watch me while he was away.

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 9: REASSURANCES

    DANIELI waited patiently as my penthouse's floor-to-ceiling windows let in the soft glow of the city lights. With each slight twist of my wrist, the rich red liquid swirled in the wine glass in my palm, which remained undisturbed. The world was asleep outside, oblivious to the tempest that was building inside of me. The time was 2:51 a.m. Unnoticed, she had sneaked out. My men were trained professionals, and none of them had noticed her absence. It served as a sharp reminder of her independence. She left because she didn't have to. Because she wanted to, she stayed. Since sSinceerished me. However, she conveyed a different message tonight, reminding me of her true self, her abilities, and the reasons why even my mention of her name made deadly rivals shudder. The last several hours had flown by. Bids from competitors are being withdrawn. Overnight, my stock increased. My adversaries shook as if they had seen a ghost and dispersed like leaves in the wind. Her face was not concealed. S

    HAILEYThrough the curtains, the evening light created a lovely glow, but the tension in the room was anything but mild. The hours I spent entangled in Daniel's arms left my body hurting. I was left feeling exhausted and hurt by his unrelenting enthusiasm, which was a combination of possessiveness and desperation. It felt like he was reclaiming me with each touch and word he uttered as if he was afraid I would elude him. I didn't put all the blame on him. Even though I meant to protect him, I had set off his deepest insecurity. Daniel's intense affection for me was accompanied by a risky fragility. I was his greatest asset and his unwavering compass, but I was also his weakness. Klaus came in with news that sent a chill down my spine: "Your father sent someone to assist us," Klaus said, his tone carefully neutral, "His name is Robert." Daniel wouldn't let me leave his sight. He carried me when I needed to use the restroom, insisted on helping when I tried to bathe alone, changed me i

    HAILEYThe plan was to spend the afternoon shopping with Klaus's wife, Catya, to unwind. As an alternative, it became a scene from a soap opera. I spent hours trying on dresses in a posh boutique, from flirtatious sundresses to exquisite evening gowns, before I eventually discovered a handful that made me feel amazing. Ready to pay, I walked up to the desk and took out my sleek black card. The cashier gave a tense smile. "Oh, Miss Rebel, payment is unnecessary. All of this has already been resolved. I blinked. "Paiď for?" Indeed. Actually. She paused, her gaze darting between her computer screen and me as though she was concerned about how I would respond. "It appears that you own the deed to this shop. I went nùmb. How can I own something and no nothing of it? Catya leaned against the counter and gave a low whistle. "You know your man can make a statement, don't you?" "A Statement? This is outright ridiculous! I fumed as I fumbled to dial Daniel on my phone. My thoughts were racing.

    REBELA quick afternoon's shopping with Klaus's wife, Catya, was to be an easy solution for passing the time in the afternoon. It was instead a scene from a soap opera.After hours of slipping on dresses at a high-end store—varying from ravishing nightgowns to racy sundresses—I had finally found a number of them that made me look and feel like a million bucks. Approaching the checkout station, I got out my black glossy card, ready to pay.The cashier gave a wary smile. "Oh, Miss Rebel, there's no need for that. Everything's taken care of."I raised my eyebrows. "Taken care of?""Yup. Actually…" She hesitated, looking back and forth between me and her computer monitor as if concerned about my reaction. "The deed to this shop is actually in your name."I went still. The deed?Catya whistled softly and leaned against the counter. "Your guy certainly knows how to make an entrance, doesn't he?""Statement? This is on the brink of lunacy!" I cried, wrestling with my phone to dial Daniel. My

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 13: NEW PLAYER IN TOWN

    KLAUS The entire office is seriously tense; Daniel is barely holding on; he's like an addict whose drug was taken away from him. We've been stuck here for about a week, Rebel calls occasionally, and this is the only time he's at peace, even for a while, and because she's currently not in the country, it's a very tense atmosphere. How did he think he could think this Tempest of a being? I keep wondering if she's trouble, but she centres on him and can hold her own anywhere she finds herself. I'm brought out of my reverie when I hear Daniel snap at Mia, who is once again barely dressed and trying to shoot a shot at him, but she doesn't get it; if she had a chance to get back with him before it's gone now. He'd never leave Rebel because he's locked. "I will tell you this again, Mia: I am not interested in whatever, fantasy you're cooking, and unless I meet your boss in person unless representatives come in, we don't need to collaborate on anything. You've given me enough headache as i

    DANIELBoth Catya and Klaus likely consider me crazy right now, but I don't care; I run up to my, or should I say, our room after seeing the bullet because it's hers.No one in their right senses will kill people with bullets that carry their initials; most people not Rebel, my crazy daredevil of a lover. Law enforcement agencies from different parts of the world have tried everything to recruit her, but she doesn't respond to them. She plays by no one rule but hers, but by some miracle, she loves me just as I love her, so I get away with a lot (I chuckle as I think about this).As I step into my very luxurious room, I hear the shower running and immediately remove my clothing; I had been so irritated all wèeweekouldn't get a single job done and meetings were disastrous despite Kĺaus" efforts and that's mostly because she had to travel and didn't allow me to send anyone to be with her or even let me visit because according to her it's healthy to stay away from each other for days to a

    ROBERTAT HIS OFFICEI stare into space as the blond hair lady suc** my dic*, she's making so much sound enjoying herself bobbing her head up and down but I'm unmoved; she isn't the one I desire the one I desire is too far away from me, unreachable so while I get frustrated and tired of not being able to have her in the meantime to have a good time I imagine them all to be her. This is how I even get to enjoy sex now. I hold her head still, then fuc* her mouth till I cum, and she swallows.I spin her around with her back facing me while I sheath myself, raise her very tiny skirt to see her bare with her folds extremely wet while simply slamming into her. She feels good, but I know she could never feel as good as Rebel, and with this thought in my head,d, I quicken my pace and drill hard into her before cumming. I dispose of the foil, then adjust my clothing, and then her annoying voice speaks. "Why do you still use condoms with me when you're the only man I'm sleeping with?""Is that

    REBELThe coffee shop is alive with its usual rhythm-steady murmurs of conversation, the hiss of steamed milk, and the comforting scent of coffee mingling with pastries. Daniel sits across from me, completely at ease, his ever-present grin crinkling the corners of his eyes. He's pitching something absurd: a vacation."You're smiling," he says, leaning forward like he's got me figured out. "So, does that mean you're picturing us lounging on some beach without a single assassin in sight?"I smirk, shaking my head. "I'm smiling because the thought of me 'relaxing' while people are actively trying to kill us is hilarious. Don't get used to it."He laughs, that low, easy chuckle that always seems to bubble up no matter the situation. "You're stealing my thing, Rebel. Laughing in the face of danger is kind of my brand.""Maybe I'll give it back when I'm done borrowing it."His laughter fades, replaced by something softer, more serious. He leans in, his voice quieter now. "You don't have to

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 49: HE IS MINE!

    LOUISA The night was quieter than usual. I sat cross-legged on the arm of the posh leather couch that Robert had christened his throne, listening to the dark TV as the jumping light danced over the walls of the living room. He was across the room, bent double over some papers, his desk lamp casting the prominent planes of his face into relief. A face I once thought was that of my savior. A face that I couldn't help but hate and love recently. "You know, I never asked you why," I breathed, but it was sufficient to make him tense in his chair. His pen hung in mid-air. He didn't turn around, not yet. "Why what, Lou?" "Why me?" I swallowed a lump. "Why did you save me eight years ago?" The words burst out before I could take them back. Silence. The air grew heavier, more oppressive with each passing second he didn't react. I hated that. I hated him for rescuing me. For granting me this half-life. For pretending the past was a locked box we both gagged on. When he finally turned, the

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 48: ATTACK

    REBEL After leaving Mex and Michael back home with Klaus, there was no conversation about the ordeal that didn't catch my attention The rain started before the lie did. Daniel had been calling incessantly but I just didn't pick up. I stood in the shade of the awning on the old café where I was to meet my mother and see the downpour cut the street into halves. The air had a strong smell of asphalt and forgotten memories. My phone tingled in my hand for the fifth time in two minutes or less. Unknown Number. I did not answer. I didn't need to because I know who the caller is. But then a shadow fell over me, dark and high enough to strike a hard pang twisting into my chest. Daniel. Suit crisp, tie loose, and eyes softer than I was expecting. "You weren't going to call me," he said, not a question. I shrugged. "I didn't think I had to." He stood there, jaw working, rain dripping off his hair. "You do now." A black SUV skidded to a stop across the street. Doors slammed o

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 45: SHE'S BACK

    ROBERT The air in the evening smelled of gasoline and rain, the kind of smell that had you believe something was going to happen. My phone buzzed once against the old wooden desk, and I already knew. News like that didn't take till morning. "Rebel's back," the message read. Two words, enough to make my fingers lock on the glass of whiskey I'd been drinking. I stood up, working the kink out of my back, and walked across the apartment to where Louisa was curled on the worn leather couch. She glanced up from her book, her eyes sharp despite the softness of her face. Rehab hadn't killed the edge in her, just muted it long enough for me to haul her out. "You okay?" she'd ask, each time something twisted behind my eyes. "Rebel's back," I said, and the name itself made her stand up straight. She knew better than to think the rest, even if she didn't know the story. A knock preceded her finishing the sentence. Even. Measured. I opened the door to find Viktor standing in the doorw

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 44: MENDING FENCES

    KLAUS It was a still night, but still had never been quiet for me. Not anymore. Not since the day Rebel went missing from his life, not since the day her scent went missing from every corner of his universe. And now, seven years later, silence fell heavy with ghosts. My ghosts. Our ghosts. I stayed at the balcony, clutching a glass of whiskey that I did not drink. I no longer drank it—the bitter liquor had ceased to sear the day she died. But the glass was still in my hand, out of habit. As with the stump-like ache of a lost limb so many years before, I kept holding things I could not let go of. When I next heard her name, I thought my brain was pulling its most vicious trick yet. But Daniel had sworn to it. Rebel was alive. Rebel had been alive all this while. And she had sons. Michael and Mex. Twins. I wasn't their father, but the way those boys stood in front of me, guarding and snapping, gave me all I needed to know. They belonged to them. She'd raised them into miniature ve

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 43: THE MORNING AFTER

    REBEL The sunlight slants through the tall glass windows, brushing gold over my bare skin. My head is pounding like a war drum, and my mouth tastes like regret. My body aches in places I’ve ignored for years—emotions I’d locked up, now clawing at the surface with wicked fingers. Daniel's sleeping beside me, arm thrown across my waist like he has a right to hold me there. I look up at the ceiling, not trusting myself to inhale too heavily. Because the second I breathe in too much, it all comes crashing back. The fight. The kiss. The bed. His teeth against my skin like I belonged to him. And the worst part? I let him. I swing my legs over the bed and stand up, slowly. Carefully. As if perhaps I might avoid the reality of last night if I just moved slowly enough. I find my dress rumpled on the floor and smooth it back on over shuddering fingers. I need air. Slipping out of the room, I don't even pause. I don't leave a note. Don't glance back. I just run. — I don't know how

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 42: MAKE UP?

    DANIEL She resists for while but I'm too far gone to listen. She whispers "Stop" but I don't stop. My fingers finds their way to her clit, stroking her till she climaxes before slamming into her continously, leaving her no room for rejection, like a starved beast raging into her with no breaks, going at it for hours continously, orgasm after orgasm, like life would end if I wasn't in her because truly for me life ended without her. The silence in the suite isn't peaceful—it's tempestuous, the kind that's waiting for it to burst all over again. She won't speak. Not even look at me. Her back is facing me now, the elegant shape of her spine stiffening in defiance. I can still feel her lips on mine, the memory of her heat pressed against my face. And she's already elsewhere. Rebel.It was like existing in a world of grayscale without Rebel. The days blurred together—meetings, deals, conversations faceless—but each instant felt empty. I had power, riches, control. but it was all meani

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 41: A SECOND CHANCE

    REBEL Daniel gets mad but has no reason to; he was in the wrong, he will have to get used to seeing the reality and aftermath of what he did. "I've got nothing to say to you, Daniel." He dismisses me. Rather, he gets down to Michael's level, speaking softly. "Mike, your mom and I will go out to eat to talk. Klaus will take you home. Say goodbye to your grandparents. There are others relocating Mex as we speak—medical staff are already at home waiting for him." Michael nods. "Okay, Daddy." That title—Daddy—catches me off guard like a wall of bricks. My lips part but nothing emerges. I'm shocked into silence. My mother tries to speak, her lips trembling with words she must not say, but I headshake. It's not time now. Daniel doesn't look back as he takes my elbow in his and leads me off like some prisoner in his court. He doesn't even request permission, doesn't ask—it's the same sort of dominance I once found thrilling and now find… perilous. He opens the car door, waits until I

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 42: REUNION 2

    REBEL I folded my legs, arms wrapped around me, perched in the quiet corner of the hospital corridor as white walls closed in with a cold clinicalness I could not help but be trapped by. The antiseptic burned at my nostrils, but it was nothing compared to the storm inside me. Michael and Mex. My twins. My boys. Twins, and the world would never mistake one for the other. Michael, my seven-minute firstborn, had always ruled. Conscious. Sharp as a honed blade. There was something about his presence that deflated people—a deportment not acquired, a power not usurped. He did not walk; he made way. And his speech? Calculated. Pinpoint. Like his dad. And then there was Mex. Authoritative in his own right, but with a gentleness that disarmed more deeply. Where Michael cut through silence, Mex drifted into it. He smiled more broadly, laughed more easily, held the gaze longer. He didn't need to claim anything—he just was in a place of peace I never understood. Until this moment. When peace

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 41: REUNION

    DANIEL Eight years is a long time to be silent. The kind that squishes against your lungs and throat in the mornings, in the evenings, and refuses to allow you to breathe normally. I lost everything that day she left—the unborn child, her, and pieces of me that I never knew I had until they were gone. Now, the only thing I can hold on to is bitterness. Bitterness and duty. At first I was sad yet now I'm pissed at the whole world. Klaus and I barely speak to each other anymore. Whatever brotherhood we had was murdered the day Catya was eliminated on my orders. I didn't regret it—not when the woman I loved' blood tainted every corner of my memory. His silence was the cost he paid for her devotion. I sit here at this family gathering my parents insist I attend, surrounded by the pretenses of smiles and champagne flutes, watching others pretend their worlds are not as broken as mine. It's all a facade—this whole atmosphere. And I'm powerless to get lost in it. The music trails
