Selena stared at the pale green walls of the motel room, her thoughts swirling. The room was small, with a lumpy mattress and threadbare curtains that barely kept out the glow of the flickering neon sign outside. The faint hum of passing cars on the highway did nothing to calm her nerves.

Adrian’s betrayal was fresh in her mind. He hadn’t loved her—he’d bought her, forced her into his life like she was some item he owned. And even after everything, he had the audacity to act like she was the one in the wrong.

She clenched her fists. This wasn’t the life she wanted. This wasn’t the freedom she craved. But what choice did she have? Adrian had ensured she was tied to him financially, emotionally—every which way. The only money she had was from the account Adrian had set up for her.

Her eyes drifted to the wallet on the nightstand. The money wasn’t hers, but right now, it was all she had. She hated using it. Hated the reminder that, even here, far away from Adrian, he still had powe

    The air smelled of gunpowder and sweat. Shouts echoed through the dark alleys, and the occasional crack of gunfire sent shivers down Selena’s spine. The night, which had started with tension, had quickly spiraled into chaos. "Boss, the place is surrounded by Lucian's men, almost as if it was a setup," Matteo said, his voice urgent. "Matteo! Make sure Selena is safe," Adrian ordered, his voice steady but laced with tension. "Nothing must fucking happen to her." Matteo nodded and grabbed Selena's arm. "Come on, miss" he said firmly, pulling her toward the back door. Now, as Selena stumbled behind Matteo, trying to keep up, her chest burned with panic. She clutched her side, her breathing ragged. Her heart pounded in her ears, drowning out most of the noise around her. “Stay close to me, Miss Selena,” Matteo barked, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Where is Nathan?” Selena shot back, her voice trembling. Matteo spun around, his eyes blazing. “We don’t have time for th

    The night smelt of smoke, blood, and gunfire. The club had turned into a battlefield, and Adrain was right in the middle of it. It didn't faze him, this was his usual night routine. Fighting for his life and that of his men.Then his phone began to ring, he checked it and saw it was Matteo."What's the problem?" He asked after picking the call. Matteo never calls unless it is urgent.“Boss, we’ve got a problem!” Matteo’s voice crackled over the phone, urgency thick in his tone. “I already know, Matteo,” I growled, scanning the dark street ahead of me. “Lucian’s bastards are everywhere. Fucking rats.” “Your wife—she’s hurt,” Matteo said. My blood ran cold. “What the fuck do you mean hurt?” “She got stabbed. It’s bad, Boss. Nathan’s with her, but…” Matteo’s voice trailed off. “Where are you?” I barked, gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. “We’re heading to the Sade house for cover. It’s the closest safe spot.” “Stay there,” I ordered, my voice low

    The air in the hospital waiting room was tense. Adrian paced back and forth, his boots thudding heavily against the tiled floor. Matteo sat slouched in a chair, rubbing his temple, while Nathan leaned against the wall, his arms crossed and face pale.Adrian stopped abruptly and glared at them. “How the hell did this happen? You were supposed to protect her!”Nathan’s jaw tightened. “I didn’t know she’d jump in front of a knife for me, Adrian. She—she didn’t give me a choice.”“Bullshit!” Adrian roared, his fists clenching at his sides. “You always have a choice. You should’ve been faster, smarter—”“She’s alive because of me!” Nathan snapped, his voice rising to match Adrian’s. “If I wasn’t there, she’d be dead already.”Matteo stood, raising a hand. “Enough, both of you. This isn’t helping. Let’s focus on her.”Adrian shot Matteo a look but stayed silent. The truth was, his anger wasn’t just at them—it was at himself. He should’ve been there. He should’ve protected her.The waiting d

    The room was quiet, save for the beeping of the machines that surrounded Selena. Adrian sat beside her bed, his eyes tired and full of worry. His hands were clasped tightly together, and his jaw was clenched. He hadn’t slept or eaten for days, only staying by her side, watching over her, praying she would wake up. But now, the quiet seemed deafening.As his gaze shifted toward her, a memory from his past suddenly hit him, sending a cold chill through his body. It was a memory he had tried to bury for years, but now, it felt like a reminder of everything he had lost and everything he feared he could lose again.He remembered two years ago when his parents were murdered.The sound of the door to the hospital room had creaked open, and Adrian had slowly stepped inside, his heart heavy with dread. He had been called in the middle of the night. His mother had been gone. The world had seemed to freeze around him, and his feet had felt like they had been stuck in place. The sterile scent of

    Adrian stood up suddenly, his chair scraping loudly against the hospital floor. Selena blinked, confused, her hand instinctively reaching out toward him. He didn’t look at her, didn’t even pause. He just stood up from the bed, straightened himself, and walked toward the door without a word. “Adrian?” Selena called weakly, her voice barely a whisper as she pushed herself up with difficulty. Her body still ached from the injury, but her heart hurt more as she saw him walking away. “Where are you going?” she asked, her voice trembling.He stopped at the door, his back still turned to her. “I’ll be back soon,” he said, his words flat, emotionless. Without looking at her, he opened the door and stepped out of the room. The door clicked shut behind him, and the silence in the room seemed to grow louder, wrapping around Selena like a heavy blanket.She sat there for a long time, staring at the door he had left through. Her thoughts were jumbled, her emotions a mess. She had been hurt, confu

    The morning light crept through the sheer curtains of the mansion, casting a soft glow on the polished floors. Selena sat in the sunlit dining room, poking at the untouched breakfast laid out in front of her. The food, as always, was perfect, yet her appetite had vanished. Her thoughts were consumed by Adrian—where he was, why he hadn’t come home yet. The ache in her chest deepened with every passing hour of silence.The sound of heels clicking on the floor broke the stillness. Selena glanced up to see Valerie entering the room. Her best friend looked as flawless as ever, her fitted dress exuding elegance like shed always did in college. Yet today, her usual air of confidence was tinged with something softer, almost hesitant.“Good morning,” Valerie greeted, her voice warm yet careful. She pulled out a chair and sat beside Selena, resting her manicured hands gently on the table.“Morning,” Selena replied quietly, forcing a small smile.Valerie studied her with the keen, perceptive gaz

    The sound of laughter and the soft hum of music filled the grand ballroom. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a golden glow over the sea of elegantly dressed attendees. The charity event was one of the year’s most anticipated gatherings, a night for the wealthy and influential to mingle under the guise of doing good.Selena stood near the entrance, her fitted emerald-green gown flowing gracefully around her. Her hair was styled in soft waves that framed her face, and a delicate diamond necklace adorned her neck. Despite her outward poise, she felt uneasy. This wasn’t her world—it was Adrian’s. Yet tonight, he wasn’t by her side.Instead, Nathan stood beside her, his black suit tailored to perfection. His usual cocky demeanor was replaced by something more restrained, almost protective, as if he could sense her discomfort.“Relax,” Nathan said, leaning in slightly. “It’s just a room full of rich people pretending to care about charity. You’ll be fine.”Selena couldn’t help

    Selena blinked, her heart pounding in her chest. Adrian’s words hung in the air, sharp and cold, cutting through the noise of the ballroom behind them. “What?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Adrian’s hand lingered for a moment before he pulled it back, his expression unreadable. “You know what I mean,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “You betrayed me.” Selena stepped back, the weight of his accusation pressing down on her. “Adrian, I didn’t—” He raised a hand, stopping her. “I saw the way you were with Nathan tonight. Laughing, smiling, touching his arm like it was nothing. Do you have any idea what that felt like?” Her brows knitted together, confusion mingling with anger. “He was being kind because you weren’t there,” she shot back, her voice rising. “You left me to fend for myself in a room full of people I don’t belong with. What was I supposed to do? Stand in a corner and disappear?” Adrian’s jaw tightened, his hands clenched at his sides. “You co

    The night air was thick with tension, the docks stretching before them, dark and silent except for the occasional creak of the wooden planks beneath their feet. The ocean waves lapped gently against the shore, a stark contrast to the storm brewing among the men waiting in the shadows. Adrian stood at the edge of the pier, his coat billowing slightly in the wind. His sharp eyes locked onto the distant lights of a cargo ship approaching, fingers flexing at his sides. The shipment was on schedule, but something felt off. "Everything in place?" he asked, voice calm but laced with steel. Matteo, standing beside him, nodded. "Yeah. Our guys are stationed all around. The ship docks in ten minutes. We offload, move fast, and get the shit out of here before the cops even take a piss break." Adrian exhaled slowly, jaw tightening. "And Cassio's men?" Matteo hesitated—a fucking half-second too long. "They’re supposed to be watching the east entrance. But I don’t trust those assholes,"

    The air in the grand hall was silent. The room was dimly lit, the glow of the chandelier above casting long shadows across the polished mahogany table. Every seat was filled with men—his men. His family. Some leaned back in their chairs, arms crossed, their faces hardened with skepticism. Others murmured among themselves, whispering in hushed voices as Adrian stood at the head of the table, his expression unreadable. Matteo stood beside him, arms stiff at his sides, his gaze scanning the room warily. He knew this wasn’t going to be easy. Adrian exhaled slowly before speaking. “I called you all here because there’s something we need to discuss.” A low murmur spread across the room. “I’ve made a decision,” he continued, his voice even but firm. “I want to make a pact with the Monrelli family.” Silence. Then— “Are you out of your fucking mind?” The voice came from across the table, deep and laced with disbelief. The man who spoke—Marco, a thick-built man with graying hair a

    Selena woke up slowly, the warmth of a blanket wrapped around her. She blinked, disoriented, her eyes scanning the dimly lit library. The flicker of candlelight cast gentle shadows on the walls, and the room was still. She had fallen asleep in one of the chairs after her long, exhausting conversation with Matteo. Her body ached from sitting for so long, and the soft, soothing silence of the library had lured her into a deep, unplanned sleep. The blanket that now covered her felt comforting, though she hadn’t noticed when it was placed over her. Her fingers brushed against the fabric, but she didn’t care about that now. What mattered was Adrian—she needed answers, and she needed them now.Her mind was a whirlwind as she stood up, stretching her stiff muscles. The floor creaked underfoot as she walked toward the door, the cold air hitting her skin like a slap. The sun had already dipped below the horizon, leaving only a faint glow in the sky. She couldn’t waste any more time. The questi

    Selena sat on the couch, a book in her lap, but she wasn’t really reading. Her mind was spinning with everything that had happened over the last few days. Nathan’s kiss, Adrian’s cruel words—it was all too much. Just as she was starting to feel overwhelmed again, Valerie strolled into the living room with a big, mischievous grin on her face. Selena raised an eyebrow. “What’s with the smile?” Valerie plopped onto the armchair, looking smug. “Oh, nothing. Just thinking about shaking things up a little.” Selena frowned. “What does that mean? What are you up to, Val?” Valerie leaned back, crossing her legs. “Matteo. He’s always so serious, so distant. I think it’s time someone showed him how to have fun.” “Matteo?” Selena blinked. “You mean *our* Matteo? Quiet, doesn’t-talk-to-anyone Matteo?” Valerie grinned. “The very same. He needs to lighten up. And I’m just the person to help him with that.” Selena stared at her friend, unsure if she was joking or serious. “Valerie, Ma

    Selena stormed down the hallway, her breath coming in sharp bursts. Every step she took away from Adrian’s room felt like a victory. Her anger burned brightly in her chest, drowning out the pain that threatened to creep in. She wouldn’t cry over him—not tonight, not ever again.As she reached the corner of the hallway, she nearly bumped into a young maid carrying a stack of folded towels. The girl gasped, her eyes wide as she looked up at Selena. "Ma'am," the maid stammered, adjusting the towels in her arms. "Is everything all right?" Selena squared her shoulders, forcing her voice to remain steady. "Everything is fine. I need a different room to sleep in tonight. Can you show me one?" The maid hesitated, her gaze flickering with curiosity. She seemed unsure whether to follow Selena’s instructions or ask questions. "A... different room?" she repeated cautiously. "Yes," Selena said firmly, narrowing her eyes. "I don’t want to stay in that room anymore. Is there a problem?" Th

    Selena opened the door to Adrian’s room, surprised to find him sitting there. He hadn’t slept in this room for the past few days, and she hadn’t expected to see him now. The room was dark, only lit by the fading light outside the window. Adrian’s eyes flicked up to meet hers, his expression unreadable.“What are you doing here?” Selena asked, stepping further into the room. She didn’t know why it bothered her, but seeing him here, in the space that used to feel like home, made her uneasy.Adrian didn’t answer right away. He just stared at her for a moment, his jaw clenched. Then, his voice broke the silence, low and cold. “Are you disgusted seeing your husband in his room?”Selena frowned, unsure of how to respond. “Why would you say that?” she asked, her heart beginning to race. Adrian stood up suddenly, closing the distance between them with long, angry strides. He grabbed her arm roughly, his grip tight as he pulled her closer. “Are you disgusted by me, Selena?” he asked, his voic

    The late afternoon sun poured over the garden, casting long shadows across the stone path. Selena walked slowly, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, lost in thought. The atmosphere in the mansion had been unbearable lately, and she needed the fresh air to think clearly. Her argument with Adrian replayed in her mind, stoking her frustration. They hadn’t argued about love or confessions, but about priorities. Adrian had been focused on protecting the gang at all costs, shutting everyone else out in the process. Selena had tried to reason with him, to tell him that his methods were alienating the people who cared about him, but he wouldn’t listen. She had left the conversation feeling unheard and dismissed, her anger bubbling just under the surface. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Adrian saw her as naïve, incapable of understanding his burdens. Now, as she walked through the garden, the cool breeze did little to calm her nerves. “Selena?” a voice called softly from behind

    The whole house was silent, except for the faint ticking of a clock somewhere down the hall. Selena moved through the dimly lit corridors, her heels clicking against the marble floors. She wasn’t supposed to be here. She knew that. But something in her gut had drawn her back, and now she found herself standing outside Adrian’s study, the faint glow of a fire flickering through the slightly ajar door. She hesitated. After their argument at the dinner party, she had sworn to stay far away from him and the troubles that came with his world. But witnessing the heated argument between Adrian and Nathan earlier had shaken her. Even though he hates her she didn't like the the thought of Adrian dealing with it alone. With a deep breath, she pushed the door open. Adrian sat in a high-backed leather chair, his posture rigid, his gaze fixed on the glass of whiskey in his hand. The warm light of the fire danced across his sharp features, casting shadows that made him look even more dangero

    The mansion was looked and felt calm, but everyone was walking on tiptoes. Adrian and Nathan had been at each other’s throats for weeks, and tonight felt like it was about to explode. Everyone inside the house moved in hushed silence, heads low, avoiding the tension crackling between the two men. Valerie, who normally didn’t care to involve herself, knew better than to step in the middle of this storm. Selena, sitting in the library with a book in her hands, couldn’t focus. She tried to lose herself in the words, but every time she tried to turn the page, her mind would drift back to the mess between Adrian and Nathan. Their relationship had always been strained, but now it felt like they were two ticking time bombs, just waiting for the other to explode. Nathan was reckless, constantly challenging Adrian, while Adrian, hated being challenged. The argument in Adrian’s study started as a murmur, but it quickly escalated. Selena put the book aside, her heart racing. She didn’t need to
