The night sky was dark and gloomy yet the city underneath is glowing with lights and laughter but neither of it can be appreciated by the young girl whose mind and eyes are far away. The light wind ruffled her hair, soothingly yet her thoughts remain aggravating. She held the railing in a death grip, making her green veins visible as if she was battling within herself because of various uncertain thoughts revolving around her head. The dim lightening from the moon shone on her journal resting on the recliner chair behind her, making the pages glow as they rustled due to the calm yet powerful breeze. The beautiful calmness around her was lost, only the world of her thoughts surrounded her and suddenly a knock startled her, bringing her soul back to the balcony of her bedroom. She picked up her book and swiftly ran inside to open the door but only after hiding that journal under the pillow not because she feared that whoever the intruder came might check it out but she rather be ca
“Let them in, Fred” The guy in the front, clutching a cigarette with his right hand and stroking his overgrown beard with the left, ordered the bouncer, staring at Fiona with his lustful eyes. The smug look on his face made her face twist with anger and disgust. Fiona turned her face away, shrugging her shoulders and gestured Neil to get over with it fast, ignoring the scoundrel behind her. After confirming their identity and ticket, Fred gave them access to enter the club. “How dare that bitch to turn a blind eye towards me?” Levi shouted while glaring at the backs of those teens who just entered the club and followed suit, tossing the cigarette butt aside, swearing under his breath. “Levi! We should go to the basement.” Finn stopped Levi before he can head towards the top floor, to remind him why they were here in the first place and that is to negotiate a deal with the arms dealer. They shouldn’t make any mistakes because he didn’t want to even wonder what will happen
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you making a scene?” Darla scolded Fiona, depositing the drink she was carrying earlier, on the table, before placing her hand on her waist like a mother hen trying to teach her chick, here Fiona. “He touched my hand. You shouldn’t have stopped me.” Fiona retorted while sitting on the sofa beside Gwen, still frustrated. She took some wet tissues from her clutch and cleaned her hands thoroughly, remembering his filthy hand on her wrist. “Fiona, I know what that bastard did is wrong but you know what kind of people come to this club and yet you carelessly went and punched him. He possessed a gun for God’s sake, what if he hurt you?” Fiona lowered her head, hearing Neil’s worry etched angry tantrum. That’s right, she was being reckless. Never did she think for a second that he might have a gun with him, take it out of nowhere and tries to shoot her. It’s not that she didn’t know how to dodge a bullet but still it’s a careless thing to do on her
Never in her dreams she thought she had to face a near death experience. The moment she heard the commotion in her house, she knew something’s going to happen. The panic rising within her, the unknown gut-wrenching fear, everything confirmed her suspicion yet she couldn’t do anything to stop it from happening. She was just a kid to do anything.Every time her mind goes back to that particular memory, it’s like the smoke is still there, surrounding her, clogging her nose and burning her eyes. The fire eating away her home, swallowing the screams of feared ones and the pleads of her mother to let their family go, still vividly plays in her mind. Like she was teleported to that tragic day every time and forced to live it again and again. It’s astonishing how the eight-year-old her still recollects all those tiny moments happened on that day but all she can do now is to be grateful for surviving the accident and escape to Kandon.She was born in Cylantra aka her dad’s territory where peop
The night is still blooming and exciting for the people who refuses surrendering to sleep. After closing the deal Levi again searched for Fiona on the top floor but was disappointed for not finding her anywhere. He went straight to the manager questioning, “Who is she?”Levi didn’t need to introduce himself as everybody in this club-workers or customers- knew to whom he works for. The manager didn’t hesitate a second and gave the information used in purchasing the entry ticket probably Neil’s.“All these efforts are unnecessary. Back off, Levi. She’s not worth it.” Finn half-shouted at him.Levi must stop pursuing this matter at any cost. Master doesn’t appreciate such trivial matters and hates when his men use their power to harm common people. And this dumb Levi here is trying to break that utmost important rule, he shouldn’t allow that whilst master unleashes his wrath on all of them.“I know what I am doing, Finn.”Levi took the piece of paper with a phone number written on it and
“The deal is closed.” It’s not a question but a statement, indicating there is no reason for him to go. Still, Levi didn’t back off rather replied, “Yes, Master. But I had to collect my reward I won yesterday from the gambling.” He knew it’s a lame excuse but that’s the only one his mind could make up in such a short notice. Shit! He should’ve come prepared about what to say beforehand but then he didn’t plan to ask Master directly. He should blame his impulsiveness. He waited for the Master to say something or anything but again only silence greeted him. In his nervousness to make his reason sound more reasonable, he told series of lies which just popped up in his head. “Yesterday, I met someone in the club who are in urgent need of money and I promised to help them thus I gambled but because of our limited time I couldn’t collect the money. So, I had to meet him today, it’s an emergency. Please, let me go, Master.” The window was rolled up and the engine roared to life as the ca
Cylantra is the main land for smuggling and for nearly a century, mafia owned this city for their business and as their home. It is also here that the Golden Eagle clan - the most powerful mafia clan over years was born by three best friends a decade ago which later had to face a horrific tragedy and the clan fell apart as quickly as it rose to power.Clan leaders, their women along with the people of clan, everyone died or that was what mostly believed. After a couple of years, people from Golden Eagle clan who made it alive through the tragedy gave life to new clan - The Kingsters, with the remains of the old one, proving to everyone who thought it was the end for their mafia era, that they were alive and started to rule Cylantra like old times but after a year came another clan - BlackWolf, rising to power slowly yet steadily with an anonymous leader, defeating the Kingsters and marked Cylantra as their territory.BlackWolf Clan didn’t destroy the Kingsters to ground rather only ma
“Master, where should I send her?”Cecelia regretted as soon as those words left her lips. She’s as good as dead now. How can she question him about his intentions? She knew what he was referring to but still dared to ask him. She realised her mistake and swiftly kneeled on the ground when she saw her Master turning around.“Spare me Master. You summoned only me for a long time. So, I thought…”“You thought?”She started trembling while lowering her head even more to the ground. What did she just say? And how can she answer him now without showing her true intentions which she hid from everyone for so long. If she reacts wrongly now, all her efforts would be in vain.“I apologize for my recklessness, Master. She’ll be waiting for you in the pleasure room soon.”She heaved a sigh when he started walking away but the cruel words, he threw at her before disappearing made her blood boil in rage.“You better know your place, Cecelia.”Why? Why can’t she expect more from him? Who is more wo
Klara braced herself to face Enrico. She ignored her brother and took a step towards Ric who is looking at her with red eyes. She hated herself for what she’s going to say but this is the right thing to do. She didn’t want Ric to waste his time on her and she’s really uncomfortable to be around him if he bore romantic feelings towards her.“Ric I…trust me I never wanted to hurt you. I mean I care about you but I couldn’t bring myself to love you” Klara said approaching Ric but he took a step back shaking his head. “Klara enough” Luc stopped Klara holding her hand pleading her with his eyes but Klara is adamant. She should draw the line right now. She can’t go back to Ralph without making Ric realize the fact that he can’t get her love. “No Luc, he should know”Klara took a step towards Ric who was already on the verge of crying. She tried to hold his hand but he dodged her touch. “Ric, you knew it for a long time but still you are in denial….I”Enrico raised his hand stopping
Klara crawled out in a hurry once Lucas signalled her that they were alone. She gulped down the water bottle placed on the table in one go to calm her nerves. This is the worst timing ever.Lucas adjusted the air conditioning when he saw his baby sister sweating. He took the tissues and wiped her sweat while she rested on the sofa with a racing heart. Enrico stood aside without uttering a word and looked at the siblings waiting for Klara to speak. He was hurt by Lucas as he hid few things from him but Ralph knew them for fuck sake. When Luc warned Ralph to not hurt someone, a woman who he didn’t know, he was beyond shocked. His best buddy for twenty some years has a woman he cared and he isn’t aware of her. He thought they were best friends and brothers but Luc never treated him like one. He has faith in Ralph to take care of Klara but not him. And he didn’t tell him about his lover which is like adding salt to his wound. “I am leaving tomorrow”Klara finally opened her mouth
“You mean the one I kissed in front of you”Klara’s cheeks turned bright red hearing Ralph’s teasing words as she remembered his kisses. God! How can he be shameless? She was suddenly grateful to be in the dark because she didn’t want to face her brother. It’s embarrassing. How could Ralph say such words just like that?Ralph’s smile grew more as Luc’s face darkened. Why is it Roselli siblings misery always gives him pleasure than any other thing in this world? “Who is she?” asked Lucas though he knew the answer. He thought he could bully Ralph but why does it seem like he’s falling into his own trap? Ralph isn’t bothered by his questions at all, on the contrary he’s infuriating him with his answers. Despite Ralph’s laziness and Luc’s rage, Enrico was silent as he didn’t want to interact with Ralph and he’s not in the mood for a conversation because he doubted his ability to hide his nervousness. He better stay quiet less his ruse with Cecelia would be exposed and above all he h
Everyone in Klara’s family and clan would buy her a gift for her birthday and Ralph got scolded once on her sixth birthday for coming home empty handed. Did he really decorate the swing to cut some slack for himself? Here she thought he did that because of his care and feelings. She wished to have Alzheimer for real to forget about this conversation. Ralph is really making her hate him more and more with his words. He is making it sound like he was forced to do everything that related to her. What about their first kiss? Did he accept it because he didn’t want to hurt her? Did he think she’ll complain to their parents if he didn’t cooperate with her? She felt bile rising up in her throat thinking about their precious first kiss. She cherished it for years but for him…it’s nothing but a burden to carry. Was he really that disgusted to be with her? What did she do to make him hate her? “For someone who didn’t remember my sister’s name had quite a memory of our old traditions. Yo
Lucas surprised everyone with his accusation and Klara’s blood pressure rose to maximum level hearing his words but she controlled her temper and waited for Ralph’s reaction but her brother didn’t give Ralph a chance to speak. “You don’t want to be blamed for the things you never committed while you are blaming my father of being the murderer when he didn’t kill your parents. I never saw such hypocrisy in the world’s history”Klara shook her head crawling slowly towards her brother and scratched his foot. It’s really dangerous to poke Ralph’s sore spot. This is not the time to provoke him. Why is her brother digging their own graves? Luc closed his eyes cursing himself for losing his temper. He shouldn’t have brought up the topic but he wasn’t wrong. Ralph should know the truth. His father spent years in anguish for losing Eriksons, in addition to that he bore the accusation of a killer. As a son he couldn’t tolerate injustice towards his father.Luc was intimidated by Ralph’s f
“Why are you here?”Lucas asked after sitting opposite Ralph, spreading his legs wide making it look like Ralph’s presence didn’t effect him least bit. Ric crossed his legs, eyes looking straight at Ralph and put his trembling hands in his robe pockets because he’s afraid of getting caught.He never expected Ralph’s visit and that too with Cecelia. Even though they only communicated through letters, it’s really hard to stay calm in front of the devil. They were very careful about their ruse, of course Ralph wouldn’t find them but still Ric is afraid of him. No matter how much he deny…there is always a part of him who fears Ralph. Take it his presence, stance, aura or looks or whatever. Ralph always intimidate others with his coldness and Enrico wasn’t an exception. “Since you were so desperate to have my appointment, I thought to be kind. What? Are you having second thoughts?”Lucas wasn’t stupid and knew exactly what Ralph meant. Ralph is here to talk about powerhouse and this
“He’s here Luc”Klara said her voice trembling with fear. Both men looked at her with deep frown. Before they can ask her what she meant, she started pacing around like a mad woman clutching her hair. “He’s here, he’s here” She repeated her words looking around to find a place to hide or jump or bury or whatever to escape from the upcoming disaster. She wished she had a time machine or a vanishing machine with her to disappear from this place. “Klara…calm down”Ric held her shoulders stopping her from moving and Luc wiped her sweat with his sleeve in concern. What happened to her? Why is she acting weird all of a sudden? “What happened sister?”“Ralph..he’s here brother”Luc and Ric looked at each other, as if she wasn’t making any sense. How can he be here? Before they can open their mouths, they heard a commotion outside followed by a knock and then the guard outside spoke in loud voice.“Boss! it’s BlackWolf clan leader”The three people in the room held their breaths,
Enrico wished to take away Klara with him because this is his only chance to disappear along with her without alerting others but knowing Klara’s personality she would cause ruckus and she’ll only hate him as her heart still belonged to Ralph. To erase her feelings he has to defeat Ralph and should let her know who the real Alpha male is…..Eloping is not an option for him. He’s not a coward like his dad and didn’t want to be bossed around by Lucas. He will prove his strength and power and that day will come soon. With these thoughts he drove in the dark night as he knew the destination of Luc already because he would only visit one place at this late hour and that is…..After thirty minutes Ric pulled the car to the Casino night club basement.Klara recognized the club and was sure her brother was here to meet the mysterious woman who is messing with his brain because she remembered him making out in the suite with a lady, beautiful blonde.She covered her head with the hoodie and
“Master, Finn hasn’t gotten his hands on the new route to the gold mine” Milo reported to Ralph who is watering the lilies in the garden. After the powerhouse destruction four months ago, Enrico and Lucas were very careful with their properties. They closed all the routes to reach the gold mines and it’s sill hard to find the exact path they’re using to work in the mine. Ralph expected the results as he’s well aware of Klara’s schemes. She must’ve warned Enrico to secure all their mines ahead. How generous? Poor Ralph…he is still thinking that the powerhouse belonged to Ric as that’s what the world knew but only few knew who the powerhouse really belonged to. This is another misunderstanding between Klara and Ralph regarding Enrico. First he thought the bruise on her neck which was caused by Ric’s nail as hickey from Ric and then he thought she’s helping Ric by warning him about the attacks. He wanted to destroy the Kingsters east coast mine in a month after powerhouse destr
