I woke up with a start, my lungs begging for air. The ringing in my ears made it hard to think or comprehend anything and the ache in my head was threatening to split my skull into two. I tried to open my eyes but even I knew that would hurt. Literally Out of options, I peeled open my eyes, gently, hoping the very act would somehow subdue the pain. I was wrong, very wrong. I winced as the first few seconds with my eyes open were blurry. I blinked back twice just to come face to face with pristine white walls that seemed to cave in around me, with a red source of light at the top . It seemed to be radiating some sort of heat hence the really hot atmosphere. I took a deep breath and regretted it immediately. I squirmed as It trailed a fiery blaze down my lungs. My skin began to itch and I felt uncomfortable. My throat was parched and my skin sticky with sweat. The slimy liquid stuck to my clothes, making me all the more irritable and frustrated.It took me a good while to realize I wa

I took in a huge puff of the Cuban cigar tucked in between my fingers, its flaming red end casting a dim glow on the silver ring embedded on my index finger. I trapped the smoke within, letting it burn and heat up my insides before letting it out through my nostrils. "Are you listening to me?" I focused on the wisp of smoke that disappeared into thin air as someone spoke beside me. " I really don't think…""And I don't remember asking your opinion." My voice was curt and precise. I took another long drag before stubbing the end against the ashtray right in front of me." Did I?""I just thought….""Thought?" I echoed as I bent over slightly. My swivel chair squeaked in the almost empty room as I leaned in to take a good look at the lowlife who thought he possessed the ability to think. " No te pago para que pienses! I do not pay you think. You will do your job as you should without any more questions."It wasn't a question. It was an order, one he understood perfectly, if the r

I don't think I've had as many headaches in the past compared to now. Even with my eyes sealed shut, the pain was excruciating, circling around my head and spreading down my neck which was weird, my neck wasn't supposed to hurt. My eyes flew open immediately and I regretted it. Bright lights filled my vision and shut my eyes again, shielding my eyes temporarily from whatever wanted to blind me. It took a while before I peeled them open again, blinking a couple of times just to test the waters. A bare wall stared back at me. That particular spot didn't look painted, in fact, the entire room wasn't coated with a single streak of paint. A shiver ran down my spine and I shuddered. I didn't like this place, not one bit. It was nowhere near….Something wasn't right. This wasn't the room I was in previously. Flashbacks raided my mind as I tried to put the scattered pieces of my mind together again. I felt the cozy feel of the duvet on my skin, the cold glass being pushed into my grip, the

I watched as the thick smoke swirled around just in front of me, before snaking into wisps and disappearing into thin air. The stench of alcohol was strong, undiluted with a couple of bottles loitering the place. I'd had three, four or maybe five? I wasn't sure. I'd stopped counting after the second bottle. That was what you got when alcohol did nothing to you. I pulled in another long drag of my Cuban cigar, strangely enjoying the wisps of smoke dancing in front of me. A faint buzz reached my ears, but I'd tuned him out a long time ago. I didn't need anyone lecturing me on what I ought and ought not to do. "Alessandro." I let my eyes flutter shut as the gruff voice cut through my thoughts. Despite my efforts, he'd broken through, and easily too. " Are you listening to me?""Why are you still here?" I snapped, my voice icy. " If you're not telling me what I want to hear?""Because it's not right….""It's not right?" I turned to my left slowly. His side profile caught my eye, just

I could feel the air thrum with excitement at the scene in front of me. Or perhaps it was just me. I was slightly and at the same time, overly excited. Why? I was holding a gun. I hadn't been allowed to touch a gun, and in a long time too. I was reckless and I had anger issues too. You could ask Lenard.Who was Lenard? No one knows, because I shot him in the face for stepping on my toes. I'd only started holding a gun again when I got here and trust me when I said it was pure Bliss. Nothing could compare to it and I was definitely looking forward to that feeling right now. "They're your men, huh?" I asked. I knew who the question was for, but if he was wise, he wouldn't dare answer it. And he didn't. I walked around the men that were just brought in. Two scrawny men with nothing but fear in their eyes, and a little rage too."I must say tio Carlo." I stole a glance at my whimpering uncle. " I'm disappointed. Very disappointed. Are these the kind of men you entrusted the safety of

I didn't know for how long I had passed out, but now that I was awake, it didn't make sense that I was having mixed feelings about it. I was like a bunny trapped in a dark hole. I wanted to get out, find out what was on the other side, but the zeal to move was nowhere to be found. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. Flashbacks stained my mind, reminding me of things I so desperately wanted to forget. Of all the memories that crossed my mind, one stood out the most out of all of them. The diamond of the season. If only they knew who you really are…I pressed my eyes against each other as his words rang loudly in my ear, each word cutting a gash so deep it physically hurt. You , are a butterfly that dances for money behind closed doors. What would your papa think?With each sentence of his that rang in my ears, I wanted nothing more than to block him out. But the more I tried, the higher his voice went. How you control men old enough to be your father

The stench of alcohol wafted into my nostrils and I scrunched up my nose, fighting the urge to barf for the umpteenth time. It'd barely been an hour since we were here and I couldn't count the number of times I'd almost retched and puked out my guts. Oh, what I would give to be anywhere but here. Neon lights swirled around, the lights focusing on one thing before darting to another in a matter of seconds. If I was being honest, all the eye movement was making my head hurt. Red hue adormed the walls, giving the entire place a red room kind of vibe. My gaze flicked to my right and my pulse quickened immediately, sending my heart into overdrive. After a couple of moments, it went back to it's slpw and steady pace but that didn't stop me from staring. Alessandro sat just right next to me, his entire body shrouded in black. Blank pants hugged from his torso down, while the black material clung tightly to his chest and biceps, almost like a second skin. Two buttons left some exposed a

There was no way I'd just heard right. It just wasn't even possible. Not in this life or the next. Had he any idea what he'd just said? It wasn't some kind of word you could just toss around when you wanted to. It was bloody murder. Murder!“What?!” For a split second, I thought I'd somehow managed to convey my displeasure with just one word. But a couple of moments, I realized the exclamation came from Matteo. “Sir, if you're joking….”“Have you ever seen me smile before?” Alessandro cut in sharply, and now that he mentioned it, I wasn't sure I'd seen him smile either. I wouldn't be shocked if he hasn't cracked a smile in all his years. “You only smile when you crack a joke and I don't do jokes.”“But sir.” There was a hint to Matteo's voice, one I didn't want to consider what it really meant. “ You want her to shoot him? Look at her. She barely looks like she could hurt a fly.”Ouch. As much as that stung and it was basically an insult wrapped up in a couple of slightly less

The night was dark, with only the gentle light from the moon shedding and casting its warm glow over the earth. Stars littered the night sky, and against the pitch black backdrop of it all, the scene above looked nothing short of a beautiful painting. The sound of leaves crunching underneath someone's feet cut straight through my thoughts. Immediately, I turned to the side, and standing a couple of feet away from me, was a black wolf, tall and mighty with its beady eyes staring down at me. A couple of moments passed as we both stared at each other, none of us daring to move. Something swirled in the pit of my stomach and before I could make sense of all that was happening, I found myself transforming back into my human form. My fear heightened when I realized whoever it was, was still in its wolf form. I didn't have to think too much because I'd barely mumbled the rest of the questions, before the wolf morphed into his human form, and the moment he did, a huge smile made its wa

I gently pushed the door to my bedroom shut. When a small click reached my ears, I heaved a sigh of relief. I had no idea why I'd just done that. Mum was probably halfway to slumber town now, so why was I so worried that I would have woken her?I sighed again, before gently clasping my hands together. A slight tremble rocked my fingers, but I kept them together, going they would stop soon.Luckily for me, it didn't last long. The moment I witnessed the last of it, I headed to my study desk in the corner of the room and pulled out my books. I had a test in the morning, and AP Chemistry, isn't something you just waltz through with an empty brain. I knew there was trouble the moment I read the first line and was unable to grasp anything. After trying for the second and third time, and still nothing had changed, I just knew I was cooked. There was no way I could focus on studying, not when there was something on my mind. No, not something. Someone.Zayn.No matter how many times I t

Silence filled the air, except for the tip of my fingertips drumming against the steel table in front of me. I had no idea why this man, Shadow, had gone with steel tables. Did he not have any class? I understood that he ran an underground business and was trying to keep things tough and scary, but who said the affairs of the underworld couldn't be spiced up with some class?Take for example. I was a perfect fit Or perhaps the steel table wasn't such a bad idea. Now that I thought about it, it wasn't exactly useless. Let's say Shadow's warehouse happened to get raided by a rival group right now, this steel table could actually come in handy. Just by flipping it over, it could actually give Shadow ample time to bring out his gun and attack. “Why don't you take a picture?” I let out suddenly, causing Shadow to flinch. I watched as he blinked back a couple of times, obviously trying to readjust his eyes to his surroundings again. A sly grin made its way to my face immediately a

I stood rooted in my spot, my blood boiling. I didn't even bat an eyelid when the sound of Alessandro's car driving out of the compound reached my ears. My mind whirled with a million questions and a thousand more thoughts. How dare he? How could he even do such a thing?I'd always perceived Alessandro to be a heartless and ruthless monster, but the last thing I expected was him bringing a little boy into the equation. Leo was still a little child for fucks sake!I pressed my eyes shut, and the moment the darkness engulfed me, I regretted it immediately. Leo's bruised back and face filled my vision, his wounds taunting me. I shook my head as I imagined his wails and sobs.Leo was a delicate boy, the best kid in the whole world. He didn't deserve any of that and that wasn't even the worst part. The part that made my blood boil and crack at the same time was the fact that it wasn't his fault in any way. I'd brought this up on him. Me, I did that. Strip. Alessandro's authorita

My heart leapt to my throat as the sound of something scurrying along the floorboards reached my ears. I sucked in a deep breath as I sunk deeper to the edge of the wall, my back coming in contact with the bed's fluffy headboard. As I hugged my knees, I rocked back and forth, hoping the little gesture would calm my thumping heart and calm me down a bit, even if it was in the tiniest of ways.It didn't work. It wasn't working. Not at all. Not yet. I sucked in a deep breath as I allowed my heartbeat to return to its steady pacing. I heaved a sigh when it finally stabilized. I was tired, tired of living like this. But did I have any other choice? I wasn't sure. I didn't think so. It'd been two days since I walked out on Alessandro. Tao days since I'd locked myself in my room and refused to come out, and even as time ticked by, I still wasn't sure if I regretted my decision. A frown appeared on my face at the thought of a sour memory. No matter how hard I'd tried to forget a

Fear raked through my body as my heart steadily picked up its pace. Cold chills raced up and down my spine as I stared wide eyed at the scene in front of me. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if I was cursed or something. Cursed to always find myself in situations like these. But that wasn't the part that bothered me. A little curse here and there never hurt anybody. Hell, maybe I'd even cursed myself. I did have a knack for messing around with Ouija boards and all when I was little. The part that bothered me was how I always managed to find myself in situations like these, no matter how hard I tried to avoid it. After Dagger had dropped the bombshell and given me an ultimatum, I was stumped. I went blank. He couldn't get my attention until he poked me with something. I didn't think much of it, but now that I did, I couldn't shake off the feeling he'd done something. Ejected a tracking device or chip into my body maybe, or perhaps he'd even poisoned me. The ideas were end

I watched as the blue flames lit the tip of the cigar that was tucked in between my fingers. As I pushed the flames closer to where I wanted it to be, something caught my eye. How the hell I was able to notice it was strange to me, but now that I'd seen it, I just couldn't ignore it. Just in between my fingers where the cigar sat, Red hue tainted my skin. I wasn't exactly sensitive and I barely bruised, so this was definitely a discovery. A sly smirk made its way to my lips. I didn't even have to think hard to figure out why the skin in between my fingers was pink, or better still, turning red. For the past hour, or more, I'd been replacing rolls and rolls of cigars the moment I exhausted the last one. At some point I'd lost count of how many of the smoke machines I'd inhaled, but I knew they were a lot. I was pushing myself and maybe if I didn't hold back, I would finally know my limit. If I actually had one, that is. I exhaled a huge puff of smoke, after inhaling for a coup

My mind reeled with a million and one things all ar once and I swear if I didn't find a way to stop it, I just might run mad on the spot. I'd just told them I knew Alessandro. Shit. If I was being honest, I had no clue if I'd done the right thing or not. I suspected foul play the moment I realized I wasn't Alessandro’s captive. Who else knew of my existence? Papa had taken a wide step back from indulging in businesses that were a norm in mafia families, so there was no way I could be in someone's radar. But the moment he knew I recognized Alessandro, I just knew I was in deep shit. I hated Alessandro, literally everyone did, even Antonio. But as I stared at the murderous glare my captor wore as he arranged an array of weapons I didn't recognize, I quickly came to the conclusion that there were more people that hated the man. Even more than I did. And it shocked me to the bones.Who the hell was he? Was he working alone? What was his relationship with Alessandro? And what

Chapter 82Destiny's POV I was anxious, and literally nothing I did was calming me down. Instead, the more I tried, the more I failed woefully at it too. There wasn't any technique I hadn't tried. I had tried counting to ten and back again, and even making a conscious effort at trying to regulate my breathing, but it just wasn't working. It was a surprise how Carter hadn't noticed how fidgety I was. Or maybe he had, he has just decided that he wasn't going to comment on it, and even that didn't sit right with me.My stomach churned, pulling me out of my quick monologue. Before it could let out another sound, I folded my fingers in front of my belly. I wasn't exactly sure it was going to do anything, but it was too late to try to take back what I'd just done. So instead, I fixed my gaze as I tried to remove the invisible dirt that had found their way underneath my nails. The car was silent, save for the gentle hum from the engine. The civilization that whooshed by also seemed to
