Xavier stood by the wide glass window of his office, watching the chaos below. Smoke curled into the night sky, the distant echoes of gunfire and explosions shaking the ground. Victor was tearing through his defenses faster than expected.

But Xavier wasn't worried.

Not yet.

He turned away, adjusting the cuffs of his bloodstained shirt, and walked to the desk where a radio lay. He pressed a button, his voice calm. "Move the boy to the helipad. Now."

A crackle of static. Then a voice replied, "Understood, boss."

Xavier exhaled slowly, a smirk playing at his lips. If Victor wanted his son, he'd have to come to him. And when he did, Xavier would be waiting.

The night was young. And the game was just beginning.

"Sir?" One of his men appeared at the doorway, gun in hand, sweat dripping down his face. "Victor's men have breached the east wall. They're coming fast."

Xavier didn't even blink. "Let them come." His fingers traced the edge of his desk. "They're playing exactly how

    Selena sat on the cold floor, her back against the damp wall of her cell. Blood dried on her split lip, her wrists raw from the tight restraints they had finally removed. The guards hadn't spoken much, but she didn't need words to know what was coming. Xavier wasn't keeping her alive out of mercy. He had a plan. She exhaled slowly, forcing herself to focus. Panic wouldn't help. If there was a way out, she had to find it. Her fingers traced the rough wall behind her, searching for any loose stone, any weakness. There had to be something. "Think, Selena," she whispered to herself. "Think." Footsteps echoed down the hall. Heavy boots. Armed men. Selena quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks and straightened her back. She wouldn't let them see her broken. The door creaked open, and one of Xavier's men stepped inside. He smirked. "Still got fight in you?" Selena met his eyes, refusing to flinch. "You're wasting your time. Xavier already got what he wanted." The man chuckle

    On the rooftop, Xavier stood near his helicopter, his sharp eyes scanning the compound below. The night sky was thick with smoke, gunfire echoing from the battle raging outside. Victor's men were pushing forward. It was only a matter of time before they broke through. He turned to his pilot. "Stay ready." "Yes, sir." The pilot's hands hovered over the controls, ready for instant takeoff. But Xavier wasn't leaving yet. The best games always had a final act. "Bring the boy," he ordered into his radio. Moments later, Miguel was dragged onto the helipad. His small wrists were cuffed, his face streaked with dirt, but his eyes blazed with anger despite his situation. Children were funny beings. "Can you hear it?" Xavier asked, gesturing to the sounds of battle below. "That's your father, fighting to reach you." He smiled coldly. "He won't make it in time." "I may not know my dad." Miguel said, his voice trembling slightly. "My mom would never marry a loser, miss lilly said so.

  • Sinful Desires   Escape! Escape! Escape!

    Jordan's body felt like it was on fire. Days of torture had left him weak, his vision blurry. But he wasn't done yet. Not by a long shot. He had been working on the rope binding his wrists for long, rubbing it against a sharp edge of the metal chair. When it finally snapped, he had almost cried out in relief. But he stayed quiet. Waiting and bidding his time. The guard outside his cell was getting more tense. Jordan could see it in the way the man kept checking his watch, the way he paced back and forth. Worried because from the gunshots sounds out, things seemed grim. "Hey," Jordan called out, his voice cracking. "I think... I think I'm dying. Please..." The guard peered through the small window in the door. "Shut up." "There's blood... everywhere," Jordan whispered, letting his head loll forward. "Xavier will kill you if I die before he's done with me." That got the guard's attention. The door creaked open, and a beam of light cut through the darkness. "What the hell are you

    Xavier's eyes darted between screens in the surveillance room. His empire was seriously crumbling around him, and Victor was at the center of it all. "Sir, we need to evacuate now," the man beside urged again for the fifth time. Xavier ignored him, transfixed by the image of Victor cutting through his defenses like they were nothing. The man moved with deadly precision, his face a mask of cold fury. Every shot found its mark. Every man who stood in his way fell. If he wasn't coming for his head, Xavier would've been amazed. "Sir! Please!" Xavier finally tore his eyes away from the screen. "Get the helicopter ready. Same with the boy." Across the mansion, Thomas pressed himself against a wall, listening intently to his radio. Victor's voice crackled through. "Where's my son?" Thomas glanced around the corner. Two guards were dragging Miguel toward the stairwell leading to the roof. "They're taking him to the helipad," Thomas whispered into the radio. "East stairwell. Hurry, Vic

  • Sinful Desires   Jordan!

    Jordan stumbled out of the cell, his body screaming with every movement. His face was swollen, dried blood caking his eyebrow. But he was free. And he had a gun. A swollen eye also. Freedom didn't last long. Two guards rounded the corner, their eyes widening at the sight of him. "Hey!" one shouted, reaching for his weapon. Jordan didn't give him time. His body might be broken, but his instincts were sharp as ever. He lunged forward, ignoring the pain tearing through his ribs. "Surprise motherfucker!," he growled, smashing the butt of his gun into the first guard's face. The man's nose crunched under the impact. Blood sprayed across the wall. The second guard managed to pull his gun halfway out of its holster before Jordan tackled him. They crashed to the floor together, Jordan using his body weight to pin the larger man down. "Stay the fuck down!" Jordan hissed, struggling to keep control. The guard bucked underneath him, throwing Jordan off balance. A fist connecte

  • Sinful Desires   Thomas X Miguel

    Miguel huddled in the corner of the dark closet, his small body trembling. The men had shoved him in here after rushing through the hallways. Something about gunfire on the lower levels had made them pause."Stay quiet or I'll shut you up myself," one of them had growled before slamming the door.Miguel pulled his knees to his chest, trying to stop the tears. He wanted his mommy. He wanted to go home.Outside, he heard the men arguing."Santiago was supposed to meet us here," the first guard said. "We can't move the kid without backup.""Xavier wants him on that helicopter now!" the second guard snapped."You wanna walk through a firefight carrying a screaming kid? Be my guest."Heavy footsteps approached. Miguel held his breath."Where's Santiago?" a new voice asked.Miguel recognized it. Thomas. One of Uncle Xavier's men who sometimes brought him food. He wasn't as mean as the others."Don't know. He's not answering his radio," the first guard replied. "We're waiting for—"A sudden

    Thomas peered around another corner, then pulled back quickly. The hallway ahead was clear for now, but he could hear voices in the distance. His heart hammered against his ribs as he knelt in front of Miguel."Listen carefully," he whispered, placing his hands gently on the boy's shoulders. "Your father is coming for you, but we need to meet him halfway."Miguel's eyes were wide and trusting. "Where is he?""He's fighting his way up through the building," Thomas explained, keeping his voice steady despite the urgency building inside him. "Xavier's men are taking you to the roof for the helicopter. Your father knows this - he's heading there now."Miguel glanced nervously at the ceiling, as if he could see through the floors to the roof above."Are we going there too?" he asked.Thomas nodded. "That's the plan. But there are too many guards between us and the stairs." He pulled out his phone, showing Miguel a rough map of the building. "See this? We're here. And we need to get up ther

    Victor's boots pounded against the metal stairs as he raced upward. His lungs burned, his muscles screamed, but he kept going. Nothing would stop him from reaching Miguel.The sounds of battle echoed from below—gunshots, shouting, explosions—but all Victor could hear was his own heartbeat thundering in his ears.Hold on, son. I'm coming.He reached a landing and paused, pressing his back against the wall as he heard footsteps above. Two of Xavier's guards were coming down, weapons at the ready. Victor steadied his breathing, waiting.The moment the first guard rounded the corner, Victor struck. His gun fired once, twice. The guard dropped without a sound. The second guard barely had time to raise his weapon before Victor's bullet found his chest.Blood trickled down Victor's arm from a bullet graze, but the pain was nothing compared to the fear gripping his heart. Fear of being too late. Fear of losing the son he'd only just discovered.He continued up the stairs, his movements swift

  • Sinful Desires   The Breaking Point

    Victor sat alone in his study, the lights off, only the moon casting silver shadows across the room. Selena's diary lay open on his desk, her words like ghosts haunting the space between heartbeats.He reached for his glass of whiskey, but his hand shook so badly that it slipped from his fingers, shattering against the hardwood floor. Just like everything else in his life—broken, sharp, dangerous to touch.Five years of hatred. Five years of plotting revenge against Xavier, believing Selena had willingly betrayed him. All while she had been protecting their son, enduring God knows what horrors to keep Miguel safe."I didn't know," he whispered to the empty room, his voice cracking. "I didn't know."Something hot and wet slid down his cheek. Victor touched it, surprised. He couldn't remember the last time he had cried. Not when his mother died. Not when he was sent to prison. Not even when he believed Selena had chosen his enemy over him.But now, alone in the dark, the tears came like

  • Sinful Desires   Victor's Crosshold

    Miguel's question echoed in Victor's mind long after he'd tucked his son into bed. Don't you want Mommy to come home? The truth was, Victor didn't know what he wanted anymore. For five years, anger had been his compass, pointing him forward when nothing else could. But now that compass was spinning wildly, unable to find true north. The next morning, after checking on Miguel who was still sleeping with the gold locket clutched in his small fist, Victor found himself standing in the doorway of Selena's empty room. He hadn't been inside since she left. Hadn't wanted to. Now he stepped in, the door clicking shut behind him. The space still smelled faintly of her jasmine perfume. Victor ran his fingers along the dresser top, expecting dust, but the servants had kept the room cleaned. As if expecting her return. He opened a drawer, not sure what he was looking for. Empty. She had taken almost everything, leaving behind only what she had arrived with—nothing. In the closet, a s

  • Sinful Desires   The Son's Wish

    The morning sun filtered through Miguel's curtains, painting warm shapes on his bedroom floor. His eyes fluttered open, small fists rubbing away sleep. For one peaceful moment, everything was normal.Then he remembered yesterday's adventure with Mommy. Her extra tight hugs. The way she kept touching his face like she was trying to remember every little part of him."Mommy?" he called, climbing out of bed.When no answer came, Miguel padded down the hallway in his dinosaur pajamas, his small feet silent against the marble floor. He pushed open the door to his mother's room.Empty.The bed was made, perfect and untouched. No clothes in the closet. No brush on the dresser. Nothing to show his mother had ever been there at all.A cold feeling spread through Miguel's chest. He ran to the kitchen, to the garden, to all their special places."Mommy?" His voice grew more frantic with each call.He found his father in the study, talking in a low voice with Gerald."Where's Mommy?" Miguel deman

  • Sinful Desires   Selena's Sacrifice

    Selena traced her finger along the small apartment's living room window. It wasn't much—two bedrooms, a tiny kitchen, plain walls that needed painting. But it was hers. A place Xavier had never known about. A place Victor couldn't find.She signed the lease with shaking hands."You can move in next week," the landlord told her, handing over the keys.Next week. Seven days to say goodbye to her son.The drive back to Victor's mansion felt endless. Each mile bringing her closer to the hardest decision of her life. But there was no other way. Miguel needed peace. He needed his father. And Victor would never heal with her there, a constant reminder of betrayal and lost years.The next morning, Selena woke Miguel with kisses on his forehead."Let's have an adventure today, just you and me," she whispered.Miguel's sleepy eyes brightened. "What kind of adventure?""A special one. Our secret."She dressed him in his favorite blue shirt and packed a small backpack with snacks and his toy bear

  • Sinful Desires   Jordans Recovery

    The hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of monitors. Maria sat beside Jordan's bed, her fingers gently wrapped around his limp hand. Four days had passed, and still he hadn't opened his eyes."You know," Maria whispered, thinking he couldn't hear her, "I never told you this, but that night in Barcelona... when you took that bullet for me?" She swallowed hard. "That's when I knew."She traced the outline of his bruised knuckles. "I've spent so long pushing people away. Especially you. God, I was so stupid."A tear slipped down her cheek. "Just wake up, Jordan. Wake up so I can tell you that I-""That you what?"Maria froze. Jordan's voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper, but his eyes were open—those familiar blue eyes watching her with a hint of their usual mischief."You jerk!" Maria gasped, nearly knocking over her chair as she jumped up. "How long have you been awake?"Jordan's split lip curved into a painful smile. "Long enough to hear you being all mushy. Didn

    Maria's fingers trembled as she held Jordan's limp hand. The steady beep of hospital machines filled the sterile room. She hadn't left his side in three days. "You idiot," she whispered, her thumb tracing circles on his bruised knuckles. "You just had to play the hero." Jordan lay still, his face swollen and discolored. Tubes ran into his arms. A breathing mask covered his nose and mouth. The doctors had been clear—his chances weren't good. Broken ribs. Internal bleeding. Severe dehydration. His body had finally given out the moment they'd reached safety. Maria closed her eyes, the memory washing over her again. That second kiss. The way his arms had wrapped around her, pulling her close like she was his anchor in a storm. Then his eyes rolling back, his body crumpling to the ground. "Don't you dare die on me," she said. "Not after everything." A knock on the door made her look up. Gerald stood there, his side bandaged beneath his shirt. "How's our boy?" he asked, moving slowly i

  • Sinful Desires   Miguel's Fear

    "No! Mommy! NO!"The scream tore through the quiet mansion, jolting Victor from sleep. He was moving before his mind fully registered what was happening, feet hitting the cold floor as he ran toward his son's room.Miguel was thrashing in bed, tears streaming down his small face, fighting some invisible enemy in his dreams."Miguel." Victor sat on the edge of the bed, gathering the boy into his arms. "Wake up, mijo. It's just a dream."Miguel's eyes flew open, wild with terror. For a moment, he didn't seem to recognize Victor."You're safe," Victor murmured, rubbing small circles on the boy's back. "No one can hurt you here."Miguel's small body was hot with fear, his heart racing against Victor's chest. "The bad men were taking Mommy away again," he whispered.Victor closed his eyes, feeling his son's pain like a physical thing. "Your mommy is safe too. She's just down the hall.""Can I see her?" Miguel pleaded, his voice small and lost.Victor hesitated. It was past midnight. The ru

  • Sinful Desires   The Distance

    The helicopter blades slowed as they landed at Victor's estate. The night had been long. Too long. Bodies had been cleaned up, loose ends tied, and wounds patched. Victor carried a sleeping Miguel in his arms, the boy's small head resting against his shoulder. Each breath from his son felt like a miracle—a child he hadn't known existed just weeks ago. Behind him, Selena limped up the marble steps of the mansion, her face still bearing the marks of Xavier's cruelty. Thomas helped her walk, his own shoulder bandaged where the bullet had torn through. "Put her in the east wing," Victor told Gerald without looking at Selena. "She'll have everything she needs there." Something flashed across Selena's face—pain, understanding, resignation. She said nothing as Gerald led her away, her eyes lingering on Miguel's sleeping form. Victor stood in the grand foyer, his son in his arms, watching her disappear down the hallway. The space between them felt like miles. --- Three days passed in st

  • Sinful Desires   The Interruption

    The sudden patter of small footsteps made everyone freeze. A tiny figure appeared in the doorway, his eyes wide with fear and confusion.Miguel stood there clutching his teddy bear, Mr. Growls, to his chest. His small face crumpled at the sight before him—blood, guns, and the adults who were supposed to keep him safe all looking broken and desperate."Mommy?" His voice was small and scared when he noticed his mom being held at gunpoint.Selena's face drained of color. "Miguel! No!" she whispered.Xavier's attention snapped to the boy, his eyes lighting up with sudden calculation. The gun in his hand wavered, then slowly turned toward the child."Come here, boy," Xavier called, his voice honey-sweet despite the madness in his eyes.Victor noticed the shift, saw the way Xavier's body language changed. For all his cruelty, Xavier must have grown fond of the boy who had once called him uncle. It was there in the slight softening around his eyes, the hesitation in his trigger finger.Migue
