The private jet landed smoothly on American soil as night approached New York City. Inside the cabin, Jordan couldn't contain his excitement, letting loose a string of curses that made Maria wince.

"Holy fucking shit, we're finally here! Look at that goddamn skyline—it's beautiful as fuck!"

Maria shot him a withering look. "Jordan, I swear to God, if you don't stop cursing for five minutes..."

"What? I'm just expressing my fucking joy here!" He grinned, completely unrepentant.

At his tablet, Gerald didn't even bother looking up. He was used to Jordan's antics, He sat calmly with his fingers flying across the screen as he coordinated their arrival details. "If you two could keep it down, I'm trying to work here."

"Always the serious one," Jordan muttered, but his attention was already caught by something else outside the window. "Damn, look at those cars waiting for us!"

"Stop acting like you haven't ridden such before." Maria said a small smile creeping on her face.

------

Victor was the last to exit the jet, pausing at the top of the stairs. He took a deep breath, letting the familiar New York air fill his lungs. The city stretched out before him—his city, once upon a time. The lights twinkled like jewels in the growing darkness, a kingdom waiting to be reclaimed.

A fleet of luxury vehicles stood ready on the tarmac, their black paint gleaming under the airport lights. Jordan's eyes went wide at the sight of the Maybach, its sleek lines practically calling his name.

"Now that's what I'm talking about baby!" He started moving toward it with purpose. "Dibs on—"

Maria's hand shot out, grabbing his arm and pulling him toward one of the other cars. "That one's for Victor."

"What?" Jordan looked between the two vehicles, his face falling comically. "Are you fucking kidding me? I mean, our car's nice too, but... come on! Look at that fucking Maybach!"

Maria rolled her eyes. "Just get in the car, Jordan."

"This is such bullshit," he grumbled, but followed her anyway. "Complete and utter fucking bullshit. The things I put up with..."

One of Victor's men approached carrying a steel case. Opening it, he revealed a set of high-tech earpieces. Jordan's mood immediately improved as he snatched one up.

"Hell yeah! These are the good ones, right? The ones we used in that job in Milan?"

Gerald finally looked up from his tablet. "Yes, Jordan. Try not to break this one."

"That wasn't my fault!" Jordan protested, fitting the device into his ear. "That asshole in Venice started it—"

"Jordan," Maria interrupted, taking her own earpiece. "Focus. Is yours working?"

"Working? Fuck yeah, it's working! Crystal clear, baby!" His voice boomed through everyone's earpieces, making them wince.

From his position by the Maybach, Victor watched their interaction with quiet amusement. They were so different from his old crew—rough around the edges where Xavier had been smooth, direct where Selena had been subtle. But they were loyal. After five years, he knew that much.

The convoy pulled away from the airport, merging into the flow of New York traffic. Victor sat in the backseat, his eyes scanning the familiar streets. Memories flooded back unbidden—drives like this with Selena beside him, her perfume filling the car, her laugh making him forget who and what he was...

His jaw clenched. Even now, after everything, she could still get to him.

"Boss?" His driver's voice broke through his thoughts. "We'll be at the safe house in twenty minutes."

Victor nodded, forcing thoughts of Selena away. That's when Jordan's voice crackled through his earpiece.

"—and I'm telling you, Maria, the boss was the one to take my virginity.....wait that came out wrong...I don't mean himself but....."

"Jordan!" Maria's exasperated voice came through clearly. "Everyone can hear you!"

"Bullshit," Jordan scoffed. Then, uncertainly: "Uh... Victor? Boss? You there?"

Victor let them sweat for a moment, his lips twitching slightly. When he finally spoke, he made his voice deliberately stern. "I heard everything, Jordan. Every fucking thing."

"Ah, shit," Jordan muttered, followed by a string of creative curses before his line went silent.

In the following car, Maria couldn't help but smile as she watched Jordan frantically fumbling with his earpiece. She caught his eye, and he shot her a sheepish grin that made something flutter in her chest—not that she'd ever admit it.

Gerald shook his head, but there was a hint of fondness in his expression. "Some things never change."

The convoy continued through the neon-lit streets of New York, each member lost in their own thoughts. For Victor, each familiar landmark was a reminder of what he'd lost—and what he was about to take back. For Maria, it was a new chapter in a story that had begun the day Victor saved her life. For Jordan, it was another adventure, another chance to prove himself. And for Gerald, it was a return to a world he thought he'd left behind.

Tomorrow, the real work would begin. Tomorrow, they would start dismantling Xavier's empire piece by piece. Tomorrow, Victor Reis would remind New York why they used to fear his name.

But tonight, as their cars wound through the city streets, they were just four people united by loyalty, revenge, and the promise of what was to come.

The Ghost had returned to America. And soon, everyone would know it.

  • Sinful Desires   Meeting Selena

    Two Days Later Victor stood motionless before the mirror in his new villa, studying his reflection. Gone was his usual pristine suit, replaced by dark casual clothes that helped him blend into shadows. A black cap sat low over his eyes, partially concealing the face that had become a legend in the criminal underworld. His check his wristwatch, 8:15 PM. It was time. From downstairs, the familiar sound of Jordan and Maria's bickering echoed through the halls. "I'm telling you, that's not how you play poker!" Jordan's voice carried up to him. "You can't just change the rules because you're losing!" "I'm not changing anything," Maria shot back, irritation creeping in her voice. "You're just mad because I keep taking your money." "Bullshit! I'm mad because you're cheating!" "It's called strategy, Jordan. Maybe try using your brain instead of just cursing all the time?" Their playful argument died instantly when Victor appeared in the doorway. Something about his presence to

  • Sinful Desires   Selena

    "Fucking hell!" The crystal glass exploded against the wall of Xavier's office, sending shards raining down like diamonds. His men flinched, their eyes fixed on the floor, but Selena remained perfectly still. Experience had taught her that stillness was safer than showing fear wherever Xavier was concerned. "Three fucking million dollars." Xavier's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "Three million dollars worth of product, burned to ash, and these idiots think I did it?" His laughter held no warmth. "The Moretti family thinks I'd destroy my own shipment?" One of his newer men, young and foolish enough to still have courage, cleared his throat. "Sir, they're saying—" "I know what they're saying!" Xavier's fist crashed into his mahogany desk. The sound echoed like a gunshot through the office. "Find out who did this. Find out who dares to cross me. Or I'll fucking find new men who can." The threat hung heavy in the air. His men shifted nervously, except for the two guards who ne

  • Sinful Desires   Victor I

    Victor relished the look of shock and fear on Selena's face. She was right to be scared. He was back. But hearing his name on her lips again after all these years lit something inside him that he immediately pushed down. No. He was here for business, not feelings. He stared at her for a long moment, watching as she physically blanched from his gaze. There was terror in her face, but something about it felt off to him—like her fear wasn't directed at him but at something else. "Why?" The single word dropped from his lips, barely audible above the thumping music. Despite the noise surrounding them in the club, he knew she heard him. He watched different emotions play across her face—guilt, sadness, fear, and something else he couldn't quite name. Selena's lips parted, trembling slightly. "Victor, I—" "Don't." His voice was sharp as a blade. "Don't you dare make excuses." She shook her head, eyes desperate. "You don't understand. There are things you don't know—" "What's there to un

  • Sinful Desires   Victor II

    Victor stalked Joshua through the crowd, momentarily forgetting about Selena and their confrontation. His mind was consumed by one thing only: revenge. The pulsing music became white noise as he weaved between dancing bodies, never losing sight of his target. Joshua was getting more brazen by the minute, clearly enjoying the attention of the women surrounding him. Victor watched with disgust as Joshua slipped one hand beneath the tight dress of the blonde, kneading her breast while she moaned against his ear. The other two girls glared with obvious jealousy. "What about us?" pouted the brunette, pressing herself closer. Joshua chuckled, his eyes glazed with alcohol and lust. "Plenty to go around, baby." He slid his other hand into the panties of the second woman, making her gasp and arch against him. "Right there," she whispered, grinding against his fingers. "Don't stop." The third woman, not wanting to be outdone, positioned herself directly in front of him. She blocked the vie

  • Sinful Desires   Xavier's Rage I

    Hours had passed since Victor's assault at the club. The digital clock on Xavier's desk blinked 11:55 PM, its red glow casting eerie shadows across his office. Xavier had just returned from his meeting with the Moretti family—a crucial alliance he'd been nurturing for months which was shaken by the attack on his drug shipments—only to be greeted with news of Joshua's attack. His pristine suit jacket lay discarded on the leather couch, his tie loosened, and several buttons of his shirt undone. Selena stood at the far end of the room, her back pressed against the wall. Her red dress from the club was wrinkled now, mascara smudged beneath her eyes. She hadn't been allowed to change. Xavier had summoned her immediately upon his return, his voice cold with barely contained fury when he called. "You had ONE fucking job!" Xavier roared, pacing like a caged animal. The office that usually screamed power and luxury now felt like an execution chamber for her. "You were supposed to watch over

  • Sinful Desires   Xavier's Rage II

    Selena moved from her position against the wall, her legs stiff from standing so long in one place. She knelt down, reaching for the small plastic ghost that had skidded beneath a chair. Her fingers closed around it, and she examined it briefly. The ghost was white with hollow eyes and a gaping mouth—a child's toy, perhaps, but in this context, it seemed to mock them all. She almost smirked. It screamed Victor in every way—his signature, his message. The Ghost had returned. But she quickly schooled her features back to neutrality before rising and placing the toy in Xavier's outstretched, bloodied hand. Xavier studied it intently, turning it over between his fingers. "Who the fuck is this from?" he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. "Who's my new enemy?" His brow furrowed in concentration as he stood up from the soldier's bloodied form. The young guard slowly pulled himself to his knees, blood dripping steadily from his nose, one eye already swelling shut. "Joshua's in the

  • Sinful Desires   Thoughts I

    Three hours earlier Victor's motorcycle roared through the empty streets as he sped away from the club. His hands gripped the handles so tight they hurt, but the pain felt good. It kept him focused, kept him from thinking too much about what he'd just done to Joshua. "Bastard deserved worse," he muttered into his helmet, the wind whipping his words away. The streets blurred past him, but his mind wasn't on the road. It kept drifting back to the club, to Selena's face when she'd seen him. The shock in her eyes. The fear. But there was something else there too, something that nagged at him. "Stop it," he growled to himself. "She betrayed you. She watched them shoot you. She doesn't deserve your thoughts." But his mind had a will of its own tonight. A memory surfaced, unwanted and sharp. Selena, five years ago, telling him she needed to go away for a while. "Just a year," she'd said, her eyes not quite meeting his. "I need to handle some family business." "A whole year?" he

  • Sinful Desires   Thoughts II

    The next day Victor woke up with a slight headache. He cursed as he stood up and stretched in his underwear, his muscular frame catching the morning light that filtered through the half-drawn curtains. Years of rigorous training had sculpted his body into a weapon—broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, abs defined like carved stone, and arms corded with muscle. The scars that decorated his torso told stories of survival, the most prominent being three puckered circles on his chest where bullets had torn through him five years ago. He sat down on the edge of his bed, rubbing his temple while unbidden thoughts of Selena crept into his mind again. The way her eyes had widened at the club, that flicker of something beyond fear... "Damn it," he muttered, pushing the thoughts aside. He had more important things to worry about. His next move against Xavier needed to be calculated, devastating. As his thoughts churned, voices echoed in the corridor approaching his room. "For the last

  • Sinful Desires   A Hollow Victory

    **8:15 PM** Victor Reyes reclined in his leather armchair, a crystal glass of vodka dangling from his fingers as he watched Xavier's perfectly crafted life unravel on the 60-inch screen before him. The soft glow from the television illuminated his satisfied smile, casting shadows across the sharp angles of his face. "Holy fucking shit!" Jordan exclaimed from behind him, practically bouncing on his toes. "Look at that bastard's face! He's panicking!" Maria winced at Jordan's volume, shooting him a warning glance. Gerald, standing near the window with his arms crossed, observed the scene on the television with quiet surprise etched into the lines of his weathered face. "How did you manage it?" Maria asked, turning to Victor with genuine admiration in her eyes. "Getting footage of Xavier with the Moretti family... that's practically suicide for anyone who tried." Victor chuckled, swirling the ruby liquid in his glass before taking a measured sip. The wine was exceptional—almost as s

  • Sinful Desires   The Crumbling Empire

    Xavier's rage slammed his fist against the leather seat of his Mercedes, the impact making a dull thud that echoed in the tense silence of the car. The guard seated beside the driver flinched but kept his gaze fixed straight ahead, knowing better than to acknowledge his boss's outburst. "Goddamn it!" Xavier shouted, his usually composed face now contorted with rage. "I knew it. I fucking knew it!" The image from the news broadcast kept replaying in his mind—security footage showing him with the Moretti family, discussing the fact that Ghost was Victor. Money spread across the table like a fan of death sentences. Every bill potentially another nail in his coffin. "There's a rat, a fucking rat!" he seethed, running a hand through his perfectly styled hair, now slightly disheveled from his agitation. "Someone close to me set up that camera, Someone must be working with Victor." His mind raced through possibilities. Who would dare betray him? Who had access? Who had motive? "Selena?"

  • Sinful Desires   A Child's Wish II

    The dining room was enormous, with a table that could seat twenty people. Miguel's place was set at one end, a booster seat on the chair so he could reach his plate. No one else ever ate with him, except occasionally Uncle Xavier when he wasn't working late. "Can I eat in the TV room?" Miguel asked hopefully as Lily helped him into his seat. She glanced at the guard who still hovered in the doorway. "Just this once," she said quietly. "Since it's Friday." The guard frowned but said nothing as Lily prepared a tray with Miguel's dinner—chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs, mashed potatoes, and broccoli that he would push around but not eat. With his dinner balanced carefully on the tray Lily carried, Miguel followed her to the den—a smaller, cozier room with comfortable sofas and a large television. This was his favorite room in the whole house. "Can we watch cartoons?" Miguel asked, settling onto the sofa as Lily placed the tray on a coffee table in front of him. "For a li

  • Sinful Desires   A Child's Wish

    Miguel sat cross-legged on his bedroom floor, clutching his favorite blue crayon between his small fingers. His tongue poked out slightly from the corner of his mouth as he concentrated on adding the final touches to his drawing. "Mommy will like this," he whispered to himself, tilting his head to examine his artwork. The drawing showed two stick figures holding hands beneath a bright yellow sun. One tall with long black hair, one small with a big smile. Miguel and his mommy. He sighed, setting down the crayon and looking around his room. It was big—too big for a four-year-old boy. The walls were painted a soft blue with clouds near the ceiling. His bed was shaped like a race car, with red sheets and pillows that matched the carpet. Shelves lined with toys and books covered one wall, and a small desk sat beneath a window with heavy curtains that were always kept closed. Despite all the toys, the room felt empty. Lonely. "I miss Mommy," Miguel said to his stuffed bear, Mr. Gr

  • Sinful Desires   Victor's Resolution

    Victor stood watching Selena's tense and departing form as she disappeared amongst the people dancing in the ballroom, his expression unreadable beneath his mask. A familiar laugh cut through the ambient noise, drawing his attention. Xavier. He traced the source to see his former friend standing with the mayor of the city, both men engaged in what appeared to be an amusing conversation. Victor gritted his teeth as he watched the bastard, someone he had once considered his brother. As though sensing his gaze, Xavier suddenly turned, and their eyes met across the crowded room. Victor saw recognition dawning in Xavier's eyes, a flicker of confusion followed by disbelief spreading beneath his ornate mask. *Fuck.* The moment Xavier was distracted by the mayor turning to him with another comment, Victor used the momentary diversion to slip away, tapping his earpiece to signal the rest of his crew. "I've been made. Clear out. Now," he murmured, his voice low and urgent. "Are you

  • Sinful Desires   Xavier's Rage II

    Selena felt the room spinning as her lungs screamed for air. Xavier's fingers dug deeper into her throat, his face contorted with rage and fear. "Did he approach you at the ball?" Xavier demanded again, his voice low and dangerous. "Has he contacted you before tonight? Tell me!" She clawed weakly at his wrist, dark spots dancing at the edges of her vision. Xavier leaned closer, his breath hot against her face. "If you're lying to me, Selena, Miguel will pay the price. Your precious little boy will suffer for your betrayal. Do you understand me?" At the mention of her son's name, terror surged through her body. Selena nodded frantically, ready to confess everything—the dance with Victor, the photo he'd seen, every word they'd exchanged—anything to protect Miguel. Just as she opened her mouth, the door burst open. One of Xavier's bodyguards rushed in, breathless and agitated. "Sir, we have a problem," the man announced, oblivious to the scene before him. "The security system

  • Sinful Desires   Xavier's Rage I

    Xavier stood among his guests, a crystal glass of aged whiskey in his hand as he laughed with practiced charm. His golden mask, adorned with small emeralds at the corners, caught the light as he tilted his head. "Mayor Collins, I'm honored you could attend tonight," Xavier said, clinking glasses with the shorter man. "Your support for the new development project means everything." The mayor chuckled, his jowls shaking beneath his simple black mask. "The pleasure is all mine, Xavier. Your donations to the city have been most... generous." "We all must do our part for the community," Xavier replied with a thin smile that didn't reach his eyes. As the mayor launched into a story about his golf game, Xavier's attention drifted across the crowded ballroom. That's when he saw him—a man in a midnight black suit with a matching mask, standing perfectly still amid the swirling dancers and mingling guests. Just watching. Even from a distance, Xavier could feel the intensity of that star

  • Sinful Desires   The Dance Of Ghost

    Victor stood at the entrance of the grand ballroom, his mask concealing the scars that told the story of his resurrection. The opulent display of wealth surrounding him—crystal chandeliers, ice sculptures, and the elite of the criminal world draped in designer fabrics—only fueled his determination. He scanned the crowd methodically, his crew flanking him. "See anything you like, boss?" Jordan whispered, adjusting his silver mask. His eyes darted appreciatively toward a group of women by the champagne fountain. Maria elbowed him sharply. "We're here to work, not for you to find your next disappointment," she hissed through her mask. "Children, please," Gerald muttered, his voice low and measured beneath his mask. "This isn't a playground. Victor needs to concentrate." Jordan rolled his eyes. "You're not my father, old man." "Thank heaven for small mercies," Gerald replied dryly. "Now behave yourself before I make you wait in the car." Maria stifled a laugh, but her amusement fade

  • Sinful Desires   He Arrives

    The sleek black limousine pulled away from the curb, carrying them through the glittering city toward Xavier's mansion in the hills, where the masquerade ball awaited. Selena stared out the window, trying to lose herself in the blur of lights rather than dwell on the significance of this day. Five years ago, she had committed the ultimate betrayal. Five years ago, she had looked into the eyes of the man who loved her and watched as he had been shot—once, twice, three times—watching as shock, pain, and finally understanding flooded his gaze before he crumpled to the floor. Xavier's phone rang, interrupting her dark thoughts. He checked the screen and a lascivious grin spread across his face before he answered. "Valentina," he purred into the phone, not bothering to lower his voice. "I've been thinking about you all day." What followed was a conversation so explicit that Selena had to fight the urge to open the car door and throw herself onto the freeway. Xavier described in gra
