Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 55: the only way out .One step at a time, Althea walks out of the bathroom and into the walk-in wardrobe where she covers herself with one of the thick coats Diaz had brought her a few months ago. The fluffy piece of clothing hangs off her shoulders prettily, falling just under her butt. Once warm again, Althea gathers herself once more, ready to walk to the bed.Except her legs disagree.A moment she is standing and the next she is falling to the floor. There is nothing soft to break her fall as her body refuses to keep fighting gravity, her head bouncing on the hard surface.Her head hurts as much as her body now. There is nothing left in her. No power. No will. No hope. Nothing. She doesn't even care that her coat's zipper has fallen open, letting the harsh wind bite at her skin. Althea knows she has to move but she can't find a reason to do it. There is nothing waiting for her but pain. What does it matter if she hurts there, on the floor or outsid
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 56: commotion, constriction.The pair keeps walking, Althea with a hand set seductively on Diaz’s chest and the burette letting himself be led backwards. They step slow and carefully but never taking their eyes off each other. Even with panic rising inside her, Althea knows she can control the situation as long as she keeps her eyes hooded and lips puckered."You drive me crazy," growls Diaz. His voice is low and raspy, full of arousal."I know." Althea pushes him, forcing the taller to sit on the bed.Althea doesn't know if it is because of her new hair but she has a newfound courage helping her stay calm as she drops to her knees and licks her lips, wetting the pink flesh in preparation. Diaz doesn't miss the signal, immediately relaxing his thighs to let them open wider. The small body in between them moves close to undo the button on the expensive pants, her fingers expertly acting.Seeing Althea on her knees with blonde hair always made Diaz think t
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 57: did it have to come to this? .Getting to the room had been easy because of the fight mainly concentrating in the middle of the mansion, but getting to the other side where the entrance and the kitchen were, posed a bigger challenge than Althea expected. Which is why the moment the kitchen comes into view, Althea thanks her past self for leaning the mansion's lay out to perfection. All those sleepless nights finally paying off."HOLY FUCK!" Lucius screams. The raven is ready to leave the kitchen, finally sure that Janina isn't there, nor alive or dead, when he is met with a small body. Of course, with a lifetime of training and experience under his belt, the first thing Lucius does is to bring the small knife in his hand to Althea’s throat. "What are you doing here? Where is Diaz? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?"Still with a knife to her throat, Althea just looks at Lucius, eyes full of surprise. She wasn't expecting this."Ah, sorry, I guess y
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 58: mix of butterflies and vomit .Janina is about to cry out in pain when it gets swallowed by the shock sent through her whole body as a blade pierces her stomach. The pain that spreads rapidly to every cell in her body forces a gasp out of her."Did it really have to be like this?" says Janina in a forced breath. "Were you really looking for Clyde to kill him like this?"The brunette cries as she is stabbed again and again, the pain no longer giving her a break to think. But even as she fights to live, she is grateful. Because it is her who's dying."You deserve to die for what you did to her; what you did to me! How could you keep her away from me?" Lucius rambles without noticing who is the receiver of his violence. " She will be better without you. I will take care of her like you never did, and I will love her like she deserves. Everything is okay now. With you gone, Jana will finally love me too."With lost eyes and gone mind, Lucius stabs his on
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 59: neither life or death .At first, Althea had thought of it as impossible. Soon enough she learnt that everyone knew the Cartel Family had defeated all the other mafias in past, rising to the elite position they enjoy now thanks to the strong loyalty everyone has for their leader. Yet, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And Althea was the weakest of them all.Surprisingly, collecting information about the weaknesses of the mansion and its security was the easiest part. In the beginning, Althea was overwhelmed by the complexity of the task just to find out that men talk an awful lot when they think the slut sucking them is only there for the drugs.The hardest, and also the most critical detail of the plan was to break the blind trust Diaz had in his inner circle, something he takes so much pride on.Slowly, innocently, Althea carved doubt against Clyde inside Lucius’s mind, poisoning Diaz’s loyal dog for months. Feeding into his obsessiv
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 1: Diaz Cartel .The smell of alcohol is thick, dancing and intertwining with the smoke of the cigarettes being exhaled out of the mouths of lustful men. Dull neon lights illuminate the surroundings, crating a haze inside the club and making the atmosphere seem a different world once stepped inside.A group of men in expensive suits appear at the entrance, immediately greeted by the door girl in turn. The beautiful ginger leads them to the VIP section where only two of them sit comfortably and a third stands to the side while the rest bow and leave the club as fast as they came.A waitress approaches the table with glasses and bottles of fine alcohol that she serves with a smile and a bow before escaping the heavy stares of the group.The three men exude a dark aura but it is the man sitting in the middle who everyone tries to avoid. The man has very handsome features that are obscured by a murderous stare perpetually lingering on his dark eyes, his ha
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 2: Sold to him . “I want her.”Lucius is ready to say something smug but as he looks towards his boss he realises the way he is looking at the dancer on stage with intensity, so he opts to skip the teasing. He nods at Diaz and starts walking straight towards the office in the back where he knows he will find the manager to settle a prize. Money doesn’t matter in this case, he is sure Diaz will pay anything just to have the shiny new toy he just found.The music reaches its peak and then suddenly fades out as do the lights, only leaving a beam of white light shining on a kneeling Althea in the centre of the extended stage. The three girls who have been waiting in the back walk towards the stage and start dancing around her, turning faster and faster until one of them tears the beautiful wings off of the angel on the floor and the lights go off.And remember, Althea will be debuting tonight. If you want to have an exquisite time, please refer to our lo
Sold to Diaz Cartel. Chapter 3: give it your all or die trying to escape . The inside of the room is quite boring, an unexpected view for Althea. It is her first time seeing anything past the velvet doors, she is not quite sure why she hoped for something a bit less mundane.Warm yellow light shines on the walls covered by a fading red wallpaper, there is only a double sized bed in the middle of the room and a small bed side table with a single bottle of whiskey and a glass. No mirrors, no art, nothing.It is just a regular room.The man sitting on the bed looks intently at Althea sending a shiver down her every nerve and turning her muscles into stone. He is quite handsome with his sharp jawline and his toned body that shows even under a suit, nobody would dare to say he isn’t attractive; his eyes are the one place Althea can’t stop looking at. Those big round eyes, full of excitement like a little kid's eyes would be but also they are cold and calculating. The duality throws

Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 54: classical, isn't it? .The windows and mirrors are blurred by condensation when Diaz enters the dance room. Althea is in the middle, unaware of the predatory eyes following her body dancing fluidly to a classical piece. The music is morbid and sad, the violin resounding in the whole room with its sorrow, moving the blonde's body from one side to the other. Althea lets the music move and bend her in different directions until she feels like she is a mere doll being controlled by the changing notes echoing in her bones.It is a beautiful and devastating sight. Somehow, the skinny blonde who couldn't even manage to stand on her own is now gliding on the floor, effortlessly. The way she dances makes Diaz want to cry because as Althea moves perfectly to the rhythm of a weeping violin, Diaz can see and feel the blonde dying. The dead ballad keeps on playing as the brunette's eyes fill with tears and his heart shrinks with the fear of losing the only perso
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 53: hidden innocence .Althea stays hidden under the blankets, scared to face the world but too restless to sleep. Her mind buzzes with guilt and unsaid words mixed with the memories of soft touches and pleasure. She feels disgusting, not because of what she caused but because of the fear of getting caught. She is scared Diaz is coming for her, scared of the brunette knowing, somehow, that it was her who sent the message. The heavy weight of what she has done rests on her body, crushing her soul against the bed, yet, there is a single pebble of relief. At least she got to free Harley. I will bear it so you can be free.Because it doesn’t matter what she does nor how she thinks, Harley can never be saved. He is too enamoured by the hitman and too traumatised by the Cartels. There is no escape when the prisoners don't know they are in a cage.Finally giving up on sleep, Althea hops out of bed. Her feet hit the floor harder than she expects, the iciness c
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 52: Call me Sunshine? .The memory of the first meeting when they decided the details for the attack comes to his mind, accompanied with an awful thought. He looks at Ronan with pity, almost begging for forgiveness for the words that he is about to say. “Harley knew.”The air turns heavy with those two words. Ronan feels his heart stop beating and his blood start rushing to his ears. Everyone is looking at him, and Diaz has hate in his eyes.“That is nonsense,” whispers Ronan, but he can’t bring himself to sound certain.“He was in the kitchen when we met,” says Diaz through gritted teeth. “He is the only other person who was there.”“Even if he wanted to, he has no way of contacting Fernandez! Come on, guys! He is just a cook.”“Don’t treat me like an idiot.” Diaz’s voice is low and threatening, making even the hitman tremble. “You don’t think I know about that old computer you gave him for Christmas last year?! Huh?!”“Wait, what the fuck! How dare you
Sold to Diaz Cartel.Chapter 51: who is the unfortunate being then ? .Days pass in a blink. The mansion is pure chaos. Everyone runs from one place to the other, rushing to complete the preparations for the fast approaching war. All the men know something big is about to happen. They can feel it in the air, travelling into their anxious bodies and coursing through their veins. Everything is such a haze, nobody notices the sneaky blonde hiding in plain sight, stealthily scurrying in and out of the room behind the kitchen. No one pays attention as she tiptoes delicately nor when she fills her pocket with a bunch of colourful pills.With every trip to the kitchen, the hoodie in the corner of the wardrobe fills up with more pills. Althea thanks her past self for being smart enough to keep secret stashes around Harley’s room. Just in case.With the last of her secret drugs in her underwear, Althea waits until she hears Lucius limp out of the room and lock the door behind him. After loc
