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’s body started to sweat hearing the people back stage talk. It’s over. They found the piercing guy and Luc will be in danger if they started investigating the guests. “Leave. NOW!!”She urged Luc to leave but the man is not bothered by the commotion outside. He only fixed his bow and smoothed his suit before walking away. Klara’s jaw dropped staring at his back. Idiot! Who is he showing his attitude to? She cursed and followed him out and is shocked to see the man who is talking to Fernando just few steps away from her and her brother who is rooted on his spot beside her.…………“Little wolf”Ralph came to Klara’s side and held her face in concern. He didn’t forget to give a questioning look at Lucas and then shifted his eyes towards Klara whose face is as pale as white.Dylan who’s behind him rolled his eyes at Ralph’s pretence. Why is he pretending like he’s just seeing them together? As soon as Klara left the hall, Dylan observed Xavier going in her direction after exc
Klara couldn’t watch the prestigious yet respectable paintings going into a pervert’s hands so she left the auction hall and went to the back stage while the host thanked the guests before ending the event with a complimentary speech. The back stage is bustling with workers as they’re vacating the house and Klara found a storage room to vent her anger. She kicked the door shut with her foot and screamed out loud letting out her frustration.The people outside are busy carrying the left out auction items into the truck so they didn’t hear Klara’s voice. She paced around the room ignoring the smoky smell and cursed Xavier for being an asshole to her. The bastard! He deliberately tried to provoke her and snatched her paintings. And Ralph! Why did he stop her from bidding them? He backed up enough millions over the past seven years and for sure mother Julia and father Louis left him a fortune behind, then what’s his problem? Why didn’t he buy her the paintings? While she’s venting
“Thirty five million”Lucas ignored the judging eyes around him and put down his hand after voicing his bid. Klara whipped her head back with an angry look because she didn’t rise her hand as Ralph didn’t give her his approval. Like others she also thought the price of five paintings worth thirty million but that’s not the case. It’s one hundred and fifty million in total. That’s unbelievable and she’s surprised that her brother decided to bid at last but is he in his senses? He rose the price to five million at once. Can he really afford that much? It’s not that he couldn’t but he just lost his powerhouse and with Ralph’s constants attacks, he lost so much. How can he withstand all of them? She knew he’s doing this for her but…..she turned to Ralph and pinched his thigh in distress. Why is he silent? Didn’t he know she’s fond of those paintings? Why is he not buying them for her? How can she let her brother spend millions while she has the Aladdin lamp beside her? “Forty mil
“Fernando, Are you sure? They’re of five in total”The organizer of the event asked Fernando staring at the next auction items. The precious historical paintings which came from south and took them almost six months to restore the original colour. They wanted to leave them for the next year’s auction that too a painting a year but Fernando wants to sell them at a time in this event. Why?The paintings worth millions because of the authenticity and their rarity as they belongs to twelfth century, they worth a lot and to sell them all in such a hurry...what’s the reason? “Let’s do it now. We can’t protect them from Luchhese”Fernando said clapping his hands and his men carefully lifted the paintings stand to take them to the stage. “Luchhese as in Brendon Luchhese”The organizer questioned Fernando with his wide eyes. Brendon Luchhese, the one who demanded Luc to steal a museum piece and also a number one douchebag. He’s such a greedy person and a well known burglar in underworl
“What are you looking at?”Lucas asked Freya buttoning his shirt as his eyes landed on her busy back. Freya came to him to deliver the reports but he lost his self control as soon as she entered his office in her black suit. There is something about Freya and her work attire. She looks so sexy and graceful in formal wear. Without stalling a second, he threw the file she brought on his desk and took her to the couch in his office to devour her beauty. As expected she's his stress reliever and mood setter. Now he's fully energetic and can work for hours without exhaustion.“The necklace. It’s beautiful”Freya said staring at the picture of an antique emerald necklace on his desk which caught her attention. She’s never a fan of jewels but the necklace stole her heart instantly, it’s like love at first sight.Lucas came to her side and stood behind staring at the picture hovering over her and smiled. “It’s a museum piece”He said fixing his cuff links and Freya turned to him with
Xavier never even dreamed of seeing an angel for real in his life but the woman sitting next to his table in yellow crystal dress is the real fairy. He couldn’t take his eyes off her no matter how much he controlled himself. Her smell reached his nostrils and just a whiff is like an intoxicating fragrance which is compelling his brain to do many things to her right then and there. He licked his bottom lip staring at her rosy lips and lowered his eyes to her slender neck and narrowed his eyes slightly feeling painful. Fuck! An hour with her can make his life fulfil without regrets but the problem is she’s Ralph’s woman and he is ready to risk his life to have her body. Lucas who sat few tables behind Xavier couldn’t tolerate Xavier ogling at his sister. Though he’s mad at her for hurting him, he couldn’t let a bastard like him to eye at his baby sister. He clenched his fist under the table trying to control his anger. One wrong move he's ready to kill the bastard.And what the f
Klara got down the car after applying her lipstick again. Moron! Did he have to kiss her when they’re attending the event? Once outside she’s mesmerized by the auction house exterior. It’s like an old library. The sculptures and the carvings on the wooden walls, it’s an eye feast to the artists. Ralph took off his suit and dropped it around her shoulders ignoring her protests and took her inside. The guests have just arrived and took their seats but upon Ralph’s arrival everyone stood up without their knowledge as they sensed his dark aura from afar. The silence descended in the house as all pairs of eyes fell on the couple that stood at the entrance. Ralph quickly gave an overall look at all the people who attended. Every clan leader is present including Lucas who is shell shocked to see his sister. It’s natural to be worried because they protected Klara for many hears without exposing her to the outside world and he brought her to the lion’s den. Of course he would be worried.
“Can you smile a little? It looks like you’re forced to come here”Klara adjusted her bangs looking into the hand mirror and said to the man who is glaring at her with a sulking face. After going back to the Onyx from Luc's office Ralph didn’t talk about the war anymore. Klara is glad but she was dispirited for two days straight for hurting her brother. Ralph couldn’t see his lively little wolf as a living zombie so he cheered her up teaching her about how to operate his systems. Like a curious kitty, she watched him with her sparkling eyes, knowing about new things and he even showed her his secret passage which is connected to all rooms in the Onyx and to the outside world.She was flabbergasted at the revelation but then again she was so excited and thrilled to use the passage. He installed her finger prints and body measurements into the system and now she can use the passage along with him. He didn’t have any more secrets to hide from her except cameras in his room and she
“You are going to be alone for the rest of your life with this attitude of yours. You are not going to find peace, happiness and salvation…”Klara who opened the door heard Luc’s words and her eyes stormed with fire. She pushed Ralph who is hovering over her in concern out of her way and darted towards her brother. Lucas is startled by Klara’s sudden appearance and the way she’s coming at him…he is horrified to see his sister raging like a bull. Before he can apologise her for his loose tounge, she grabbed his collar and rose him to his feet. Her action alerted Luc’s men and they pointed their guns at Klara and immediately Ralph’s men aimed their guns at Luc’s men. Lucas gestured his men to put their guns down and looked down at his angry sister. “How dare you Lucas Roselli?” Klara said clenching his shirt in her fist, her eyes red from anger. “I…I didn’t…”“Shut up! He is not alone. Did you hear me? HE IS NOT ALONE. And if anyone who’s going to end up alone…it is YOU, not h
