GigiHello. I am not here to promise that I will update daily, but I will try my best. I do not want to bore you with my life problems; rather, I wish you could comment and tell me what you feel about my characters. Do you like them so far?

Zane:Those words sound like a dream, but I know my foster father better than anyone. He is ready to tear down my house for one night, and rebuild it the next day as long as he gets what he wants. I make a phone call for the gates to be opened and then I rush out of my room.When I get to the stairs, I see Rufus at the foot of the stairs.“Do you know the Godfather is here?” I ask, and he nods.I stare at him with my hands on my waist, and my brows arched. Then I go in for a punch, but he ducks.“I tried to tell you, sir, but you didn’t listen. I… I… am sorry,” he says, and I scoff, walking away.Lately, I find myself angrier, and I can’t tell if my workers are getting on my nerves or if it’s Kiara.As I reach the front door, the man who has shaped me into the person I am opens it, and we come face to face. He stands tall like he always does, and his feet look really strong. Wrinkles appear on his grey brows and his usual smile, which used to hang on his face, is absent, making way fo

Kiara:Of course I saw Gia standing by the door, and I needed Zane to say something demeaning about her. I saw her kiss him outside, and the way she was all over him got to me, no matter how much I don’t want it to.Zane marked me, and I can’t help what the mate bond is doing to me, and it’s his fault, so I have to make his life unbearable.“Gia, wait!” Zane calls out, but Gia slams the door hard in his face.Zane shoots me an angry look, but I ignore him and tuck myself into bed. He has a lot of explaining to do, and I’m ready to hear it. I can hear things from a distance if I want to, so I don’t need to get out of bed to hear their conversation. I lie tight in bed as I hear him running down the hallway after Gia. When he catches up with her, he tries to hold her, but she pushes him away.“All these years, I think the feeling is mutual. You have sex with me, Zane. I give up my virginity for you and I have seen no man for five years. I am twenty-three, and I never dream of any man but

Kiara :I know the mate bond is messing us up, but he has gone way too far. Whooping up fifty million dollars wouldn’t be a problem if I were still Luna. It sucks a lot to be under this man, and I have never been powerless in my entire life. He is my mate, so I desire him in a way that makes me hate myself.“Haven’t you done enough?” I question, and he glares at me with his brows wrinkled.“In the space of twenty-four hours, you have done a lot. Gia and I are meeting for the first time and somehow, she already hates me because of you.” I say to him, and his face loosens up a bit.“Look, I don’t have time for this. I am running behind schedule, please behave.” he says, and I chuckle.“Behave? I could say the same for you, Mr. Malibu. You have the audacity to order everyone around, and you want everyone on their best behaviour, but there is…”“Kiara!” he yells, cutting me short.“The truth hurts, Mr. Malibu, but you have to acknowledge it,” I say to him, and then he turns to leave with h

Zane:As I speed down the highway, all I can think of is Kiara. She drives me crazy, and the fact can’t stop fantasizing about her messes with my mind. I pull over to the side of the road and glance at my rearview mirror. The moment I see Kade’s reflection in the mirror, my brows wrinkle.“You have to stop doing this. Why Kiara? You could have chosen any other person as your mate. What is this?” I yell at Kade’s reflection in the mirror.He’s the one messing with me, and I swear if it weren’t for this stupid wolf thing, I wouldn’t have feelings for Kiara. I claimed her because I thought it would be easier to trap her, and if we weren’t mates, it would have been easy to torture her. I despise wolves, and I’d love nothing more than to see them all perish.“Keep telling yourself that lie. I’m attracted to Kiara because you claimed her, but your heart desires her, too. I know because I live inside you,” Kade says, and I sigh, contemplating the best way to erase thoughts of Kiara.Suddenly
REJECTED: CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA MAFIA Chaotic Events
Kiara:I open my eyes to a very comfortable environment, but a sharp pain courses through my head, reminding me of the accident.I hear a familiar voice. “You’re awake.”I look up to see Mr. Fernandez in a robe, holding a wine glass. I sit up, examining my surroundings. It’s clear I’m not at Zane’s place, and this place seems way better. It is cozy and has a warm aesthetic compared to Zane’s.“What happened? How did I get here?” I ask, and he walks up to me, his handsome face sporting a small smile.“I’m sorry for what happened. My chauffeur ran into you, but you barely had a scratch,” he says, taking a sip from his glass.“But I can’t say the same for my ride,” he adds, gesturing towards me. I rub the back of my neck, muttering an apology.The room falls silent for a moment.“I didn’t mean to, and I.. I am truly sorry.” I say again.“It’s all good. I’m glad you’re alive,” he says, walking toward a minibar in the corner.My eyes scan the room, taking in the beauty around me. I spot pi

WARNING!!xxx sceneKiara"Does putting people in situations like this make you happy?" Zane yells as he pushes me into the car.I keep mute, holding Ariana’s hand for support. My mind races as I tighten my grip on Ariana. Zane stares at me for a while before he gets into the car and bangs the door.He turns on the ignition and zooms out of the compound. I say a silent prayer as he speeds on the highway. It's partially my fault, and I don’t mean for his secret to be out in the open."Mr. Fernandez trusts me so much, and now you have managed to taint my name in his presence. I hope that makes you happy!" He slams his fist on the steering wheel.His phone rings, and he picks it. "Natalie not now!" He yells, tossing his phone to the passenger’s seat.I can feel Ariana’s body tremble, and I hold tightly, trying to assure her that she will be fine. I feel sorry for her. It's my fault that she's in this mess, and I wonder if she will want to speak to me again.After a while, we get to the h
REJECTED: CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA MAFIA Taste ofVengance
Kiara:Ever since I witnessed Zane with that lady, my life hasn’t been the same. Two days have passed, yet my body still aches, and I had been crying nonstop. On any other day, I wouldn’t give someone as condescending and disgusting as him a second thought, but he has cursed me with this bond.“Ma’am,” Ariana interrupts my thoughts, “I think you should rest. Overthinking won’t solve anything.”I sigh, my mind a whirlwind of confusion. Zane’s silence for the past two days has me on edge. What more does he have planned? I should have heeded Ariana’s warning not to play games with him.“How can I rest at a time like this?” I ask, sitting up. “My life is crumbling, and I should have listened to you.”Outside, something crashes in the hallway. “Zane,” I tell Ariana, standing abruptly. “And he’s not alone.”Ariana tries to hold me back, but I swing open my room door. There stands Zane, his hands all over a different woman—she doesn’t resemble the one from two days ago.“We should go back to

Kiara:“Natalie!” Zane yells, rushing over to her lifeless body, which is already pale.I stand there, watching with no atom of remorse in my heart. The anger in me still burns deep, and all I can think of is a way to kill her over and over.“Look what you’ve done, you beast!” Zane yells, rushing at me with a slap. I shut my eyes and wait for the impact, but it didn’t happen.Then I open my eyes to see him standing and watching me with his fangs out, but he doesn’t do anything.He rushes out of the room, and I hear him screaming in the hallway.“Rufus! Rufus!” He yells.“Arrest that woman and get rid of that body!” He screams, walking through the hallway and throwing things.Before I can make my way out of his room, I see Rufus standing with a couple of men with a gun in hand. I do not put up a fight; rather, I put forward my wrist for the cuffs in his hands.“Rest in peace, bitch.” I say to Natalie as I am dragged out of the room.Rufus drags me down the long hallway, and I see Arian

Kiara:After about thirty minutes to an hour, I’m dressed and ready for dinner. Zane walks into the room with a smile on his face, making his way over to me. He pauses, clasping his hands together as his gaze sweeps over me, warm and lingering.“I’ve never seen anyone or anything more beautiful than you,” he murmurs,causing my face to flush a little before he leans in and kisses my cheek.He glances back at the couch where the bouquet lies. “You don’t like your flowers?” he asks, his eyes searching mine.I hold his gaze. I love the flowers—but I can’t shake the thought that the man who gave them to me is hiding too many secrets. If he isn’t being real with me, then how am I supposed to enjoy even the little things?“I’m famished, and I’ll spend time with the flowers when we get back,” I say, forcing a smile onto my face. “Shall we go?”He nods, taking my hand and leading me outside. Rufus stands by Zane’s car, and from where I stand, I glare at him. He quickly looks away. I don’t enjo
REJECTED: CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA MAFIA Ex
Zane:I turn around to see Mindy standing behind me. She still looks the same as the last time I saw her five years ago, but her hair is short, and she dyed it brown to match her eyes. My mouth falls ajar for a split second, and I quickly clear my throat, adjusting myself on the seat.“Zane!” she exclaims, opening her arms as her brown eyes gleam with the widest grin hanging on her face.Ignoring her invite for a hug, I put out a hand, taking hers in mine, and initiating a handshake, which is short. Her smile remains while my expression hardens.She takes a seat beside me, and I face my glass of martini, waiting for her to speak.“Since I heard you were in town, I have been trying to reach you. I’ve been coming to this restaurant, hoping to run into you, and thank goodness, I did.” When she says this, I sip from my glass.“I am aware, because my phone keeps buzzing.” Her expression tightens, but I do not care. This woman made my life hell, and she fueled my spirit of revenge so much t
REJECTED: CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA MAFIA Family Man
Zane:“That is what I am telling the young lad. I enjoy seeing young people in love because it reminds me of the good old days. The adrenaline mixed with fear when you are about to make the move that will change your entire life.”For some reason, they think their words are encouraging, but they are only making me scared, and I am trying hard to push away the thoughts that are questioning why I am trying to buy a ring for Kiara. As they keep taunting me, I look down at the finely polished marble floor beneath. I try to hold down my feelings as I remember Kiara’s voice asking me to be more gentle with people.“Look around, young lad; pick something nice for your lady,” Jerome says, and I force a smile, looking around the store, which has cases lined with plush, dark velvet, showcasing a carefully curated collection of sparkling jewels. Ranging from diamond rings, necklaces, and bracelets that sit perfectly on the ring cushion.I walk around, staring at the rings, but none catches my at
REJECTED: CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA MAFIA The Diamond Atelier
Zane:I know Kiara is sad about me leaving tomorrow, but there is almost nothing I can do. All I owe her at this point is sorting out things with my father and finding a way to expand the business to other parts of the world, especially Efla. It is not surprising Kiara likes the town; it is serene, except that it has Mindy, but I do not care about that. If I knew she would come back to this town, then I might not have considered it, but I am here already, and Kiara loves the town. When I properly expand, Mindy cannot get into any of my properties, and she will not bother Kiara or me.I pull up to the spot where I am to meet with Theo, a real estate agent. Then I take out my phone to call him.“I am here, and...”“Up ahead, Mr. Malibu,” he says, then I raise my head, looking forward to see someone on a bike pedaling toward me. I shut off the call, then I wait for him to get to me.He gets down from his bike and parks it, then he walks up to me. I roll my window down, and he puts out hi

Kiara:In a moment, Zane and I both reach the peak of our pleasure. He pulls me up from his body, and I watch his release, his face clad in ecstasy. I take off his shirt, then I help him wipe off the mess from his body. He pulls up his pants, and I sit back on him—this time with my legs to the side. He leans in and takes my lips in his, and we remain with our lips on each other’s for a while.His phone rings, breaking the kiss. I help him take it out of his pocket, hoping it will be whoever has been disturbing him, but then I see it’s Rufus.“Rufus must have arrived,” I say to him, showing him the screen of his phone.By now, the rain has reduced, so we get to our feet, making it out of the pavilion. We walk down the clear path that one can only access on foot. Shortly, we make it out to the car park, where we see Rufus waiting in the car.Zane grabs my hand, speeding up our movement. When we get to the car, he opens the door for me. He gets in after me and shuts the door, then Rufus

Kiara:Zane grabs my hand and tries to pull me to him, but I yank my hands away, then I stand there, opening my palm and letting the rain hit my skin.“Kiara,” he calls out, and I glance at him with a smile on my face.“It is beautiful, and I want to stay,” I say, then I take his hands. “Come on.” I attempt to pull him to me, and he reluctantly comes closer.Zane stands there, watching me with an amused smile as I open my palm to the sky, allowing the raindrops to pour onto my skin. Each drop feels like a tiny kiss from nature, and I spread my hands out wide, giggling and twirling.The rain falls heavier, soaking my hair and dress, but I do not care.“Kiara,” he calls out, but I do not look at him. “We should find cover before we get drenched!” His tone is loud, but I do not want to leave just yet.With a smile, I shake my head, letting more raindrops collect in my hand.“Just a little longer,” I say.I haven’t been in the rain in a while, and this is the perfect relief for all my pro

Kiara’s POV:A few hours later, Zane is dressed, sitting on the bed in the room. I, on the other hand, find it difficult to pick out an outfit.“How is this?” I ask, holding up a mini floral gown.He gazes at me.“You know you are perfect in whatever you wear,” he says, and I sigh.“Not helping,” I say to him, then I find another black gown. “You are in black, so maybe I should put this on.” I say, and he gets to his feet, walking up to me.He grabs the purple floral gown from the couch, then closes in on me from behind, placing it against my chest as he peers into the mirror.“It complements your skin, and I love the flowers,” he says, and I peer at him through the mirror. “Put it on.” His tone comes off more like an order, in a way that I like.I turn around, facing him with my arms around his neck.“Is that an order, sir?” I tease, and his lips curve into a smile. “Who says ruthless men don’t blush?” I ask, and he hardens his expression, taking my hands off his neck.“I was only sm
REJECTED: CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA MAFIA So Many Thoughts
Kiara:“We’ve spent the past few hours fighting, and it is making me hungry,” Zane says, and I tilt my head a bit on his chest, enough to look into his eyes. “We should go out to get something to eat,” he suggests, and I do not say a word.How can he bother about eating at this moment when our lives are in danger? If Boris wants me dead, and he disobeys him, then it is a two-way problem.“I do not think I want to see the city,” I say to him, then he stops playing with my hair. “I would prefer eating in if you do not mind. Rufus can get us some takeout, and we can eat in.”He is silent for a split second before he mutters an “okay.”Then he reaches out to the nightstand to get his phone. He grabs it.“What do you want to eat?” he asks, and I shrug, closing my eyes.“I will eat whatever you have; I just want to be with you,” I mutter.Then he places the call.“Get me some takeout. I want the spicy chicken pad Thai and spring rolls,” he says before ending the call.He places his phone ba

Zane:I know I have wronged her, and it will be difficult to get her to fully trust me, but it hurts every single time, knowing this love is one-sided.“Zane, wait.” I pause as she grabs my hand, then I turn around.She runs her hands into the hem of my shirt, feeling the scar from the bullets.“When did you get this?” she questions, and I watch her with my mouth struggling to voice a word. “Zane!” Her voice rises, and I watch her breathing increase.As I stare into her eyes, I see the fear buried within her, and she is right; I am bad for her because all I do is make her cry.“It’s nothing serious, and you do not have to bother…”“You do not tell me what to bother about and what not to bother about, Zane!” She grits her teeth, and then I grab her hand, but she yanks it away. “I am not some inanimate object that you…”Before she can finish her sentence, I press my lips against hers, taking the words off her mouth. She stops talking, and I feel her tears run down my face, causing me to
