RICARDO

My hands gripped the wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My jaw clenched, my heart still pounding from what had happened in the backseat just minutes ago.

Ryan shifted in his seat. "Ricardo, what the hell is going on?"

I didn’t take my eyes off the road. "One of our hidden warehouses was burned down."

Ryan stiffened. "What?"

"I need to check it out myself."

Silence stretched between us, but I could feel Ryan’s gaze on me, his mind working through the situation. He didn’t press further. He knew better.

As we sped through the city, my mind was already racing ahead. Who the hell had the audacity to pull something like this? My enemies had always been bold, but this was a direct attack. A declaration of war.

Twenty minutes later, we reached the warehouse… or what was left of it.

The smell of burnt metal and scorched wood filled my nostrils as I stepped out of the car. The once-solid structure was nothing but a skeleton now.

My men stood in clusters, and they all parted as I

    RYAN"Yeahhh, you should do it," I said, my voice deliberately slow, watching the tension in the room shift.Ricardo’s eyes snapped to me. "Excuse me?"I smirked, leaning back against the wall. "Bella wants to have fun, right? So why not have it to the fullest?"Bella’s smirk faltered for a split second before she quickly masked it. I could see the way Ricardo grip on the armrest tightened. He wasn’t against the idea… far from it. He was just processing.Marco burst into laughter, shaking his head. "Oh, this just keeps getting better."Ricardo’s jaw twitched, but then something shifted in his expression. He turned toward Bella. "Alright then," he finally said. "It’s a deal."Bella’s posture stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered, her lips pressing into a thin line. She didn’t say anything, just nodded once. I wondered if she had expected Ricardo to actually agree, or if she had just been testing him.Marco’s phone buzzed in his hand, breaking the tension. He answered it, s

    BELLAAlessio smiled and folded his arms. "Sorry, Bella. They're here for me. I've been expecting them."My breath, which had been lodged in my throat, finally eased out in a slow exhale. Relief flooded through me, but it was short-lived. I straightened, smoothing down my dress as I took a step back. The officers exchanged glances, then nodded at Alessio before moving toward the exit.I turned to him, forcing a casual smile. "Well, that was... interesting."Alessio chuckled, swirling his wine. "I have business with them. But don't worry, nothing serious."I nodded absently, but my mind was already elsewhere. My plan had been interrupted before I could get the pictures. Without those, this entire night would be pointless.My phone buzzed in my clutch. I slipped it out, subtly glancing at the screen.Ryan: Come back to the car. Now.I clenched my jaw. No way. I hadn't come this far just to go home empty-handed.Another message popped up.Ryan: Those were police officers. Come back befor

    RYAN Pacing the length of my room, I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply. My pulse was still erratic, my mind replaying every damn second of what had happened tonight. At first, I was relieved when the police showed up. Finally, something had gone in my favor. With them there, Bella wouldn't be able to get the videos. That meant she wouldn't go through with that idiotic threesome plan. But then she had to go and prove me wrong. I clenched my fists, stopping in my tracks as frustration churned in my gut. She handled it flawlessly. Too flawlessly. The way she spun her lie, the way she used every ounce of charm she had to manipulate the situation… it was impressive. It was terrifying. And it worked. Not only did she get close to Alessio, but she also managed to make him lower his guard. She played her role so well that she got exactly what we needed… perfect pictures. Everything we had come here for. Proof that would move this whole operation forward. I should’ve been cel

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception    I miss you

    BELLA I knew I was getting to him. Every flicker of tension in his jaw, every shift in his stance… I felt it. I saw it. And damn, I loved every second of it. Ryan wasn’t an easy man to crack, but right now? He was unraveling. Good. Then he laughed. A deep, rich sound that sent a shiver down my spine. I frowned. What the hell was funny? I didn’t say anything remotely amusing. I watched as he shook his head in amusement. Then, without another word, he turned and walked away from me. My chest tightened. What the hell was this? He was supposed to be furious, supposed to be snapping at me, supposed to… Ryan grabbed his shirt and tugged it off in one swift motion, his muscles flexing as he did. My train of thought? Completely derailed. I forced myself to keep my expression indifferent as he reached for a towel, wrapping it around his waist. Then he finally spoke. “You’re really something, you know that?” He glanced at me over his shoulder, his lips curving in

    BELLAI moved swiftly through th hallways, my heartbeat steady despite the risk. Ricardo’s room was just ahead. I had timed this moment perfectly… most of the guards were either at their posts outside the estate or preoccupied with their own business.Luck was on my side. No one was stationed at his entrance.I took a quick glance over my shoulder before slipping inside, shutting the door soundlessly behind me.The bed was neatly made, untouched for the night. Ricardo wasn’t here yet. Perfect.I pulled the small camera from my pocket, rolling it between my fingers as I scanned the room for the best hiding spot. It had to be somewhere discreet but with a clear view of the bed and seating area. If what I suspected was true, tonight would be the night I got my proof.Ryan, the arrogant bastard who thought he could toy with me, was about to be exposed. The whole world would see him for who he really was… someone who had sold himself to the mafia boss.I crouched near the dresser, pressing

    RAFAELI stepped out of the car, inhaling deeply as the cool night air hit my face. Marco was already beside me, his posture relaxed but alert, his eyes scanning the area as we made our way toward Alessio’s house.I had spent years trying to live a different life… away from the blood, the guns, the constant tension of the mafia world. But no matter how far I ran, something inside me always ached for it. For the violence. The power. The rush.And now, I wasn’t just going to be a spectator anymore. I would practice until it became second nature. Until I could live and breathe this life like I was born for it.Marco turned to me, a smirk tugging at his lips. He hit my shoulder playfully. “Man, you remember college?”I gave him a side glance. “What about it?”He chuckled. “You always acted like you were above all this mafia stuff, but the moment someone looked at Ricardo the wrong way, you went full psycho.”I scoffed. “I did not.”“You totally did!” Marco snickered. “Remember that guy in

    RYANI was waiting. Any minute now, there’d be a knock on my door, and someone would say Ricardo was calling for me. I exhaled, running a hand through my hair as I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. I pulled my trousers down a bit, inspecting myself. Neatly trimmed. Good.I always kept things in order, even the things most people didn’t bother with. Details mattered.I had already showered, the scent of my body wash still clinging to my skin. Still, I grabbed my cologne and sprayed a new scent I’d been trying out. Then, right on cue, a knock sounded at the door.I didn’t move right away. Instead, I adjusted my shirt cuffs, taking my time before walking over and opening it.One of Ricardo’s men stood there. “Ricardo wants to see you,” he said flatly.Without saying a word, I stepped out, shutting the door behind me.Tonight was about to get interesting.I walked down the hall and I didn’t hesitate when I reached the door, pushing it open without knocking.

    RYANI slowly looked into Ricardo's face, holding his gaze as my fingers worked the buttons of my shirt. One by one, I undid them, letting the fabric fall open before shrugging it off completely. Then I stepped closer, closing the distance between us. My hand slid down his chest, over the damp skin still warm from the shower, before slipping past the towel still loosely hanging around his hips.Ricardo's breath hitched as my fingers wrapped around him, stroking his dick slowly. A low moan escaped his lips, his head tipping back slightly."Take it off," I murmured.Ricardo didn't hesitate. His hands went to the towel, letting it drop to the floor in one smooth motion.Now we were both bare.Bella's sharp inhale cut through the charged silence, but I didn't turn to look at her. Not yet. My focus was entirely on Ricardo-on the way his chest rose and fell, the way his jaw tightened as my grip on him tightened.His hand found my waist, fingers digging into my skin as he pulled me closer.

    CHAPTER FORTYBELLAThe floor felt like it dropped beneath me.My throat went dry. “W-what? A camera?”Marco nodded. “Yeah. Hidden in the wall behind the bookshelf. He’s pissed. Wants everyone in the main hall.”I swallowed, my mind scrambling for a way out. “Do… do we know who put it there?”Marco gave a humorless smile. “That’s what he’s trying to find out.”And just like that, my legs moved on their own, dragging me down the hall beside Marco, my heart pounding so hard I thought it might crack a rib.He found the camera.He found it.And if anyone even suspected it was me… I was done.Dead.Finished.I kept my face composed, but inside, I was spiraling. I needed a plan.Fast.And for the first time tonight, I wondered if maybe… just maybe… playing with Ricardo’s mind was a game I wasn’t equipped to win.We reached the main hall, and sure enough, everyone was already gathered… bodyguards, associates, maids, even a few of the drivers.I slipped away from Marco’s side and positioned

    BELLA“I think Ricardo has powers.”Michael blinked. “Come again?”I leaned back against the chair in his room, arms folded, my heart still racing from everything that had happened. “I said… I think he has powers. Like, actual powers. Like stopping-time kind of powers.”Michael stared at me like I had grown a third eye. “What the hell are you talking about?”I turned my gaze to the floor, chewing the inside of my cheek before sighing. “Remember that camera you gave me? The one I planted in Ricardo’s room?”His brows drew together. “Yeah…”“Well,” I said, voice lower now, “I watched the footage. All of it. Even the parts after… the threesome.”Michael gave me a look. “Really didn't need the reminder.”I rolled my eyes. “Get over it.”He said nothing.I continued. “I saw Ricardo talking to himself… not like ‘talking in the mirror’ kind of way, but like he was fighting something inside. He said he had powers. That he could’ve saved Ryan. That he… stopped time before. He was pissed that h

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception    You’re crying

    RAFAELI hurried my footsteps, ignoring the ache in my legs, the burning in my chest. The sound of that flatline echoed in my skull like a siren screaming death.No.No, no, no…I reached the room and my heart nearly came out of my mouth. My knees buckled the moment I saw it.That white sheet.Pulled up over a still body.No movement. No beeping machines. Just… silence.I stumbled to the ground, my palms hitting the cold, sterile tiles, my breath catching in my throat like a noose. Tears welled up fast. One fell. Then another. Then they all came crashing down.He can’t be dead.He can’t be.“Ryan,” I gasped out. “No… please… God, no…”I crawled closer, like if I just got a little nearer I’d find out it wasn’t true. That maybe I was wrong. That maybe it was someone else.But the blood.The silence.The goddamn sheet.My hand shook as I reached out, not even sure what I was doing. Just needing something. A touch. A sign. Anything.My chest ached so hard I thought I’d throw up. I couldn’

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception     I was into him

    RAFAELI stood frozen behind the half-transparent glass, my hands clenched into fists at my sides as I watched Bella and the other doctors battling to keep Ryan alive.He looked lifeless.Machines beeped frantically. One of the nurses barked an order. Bella’s face was tight with panic, but her hands moved with the sharp precision of someone refusing to lose. Still, I could see the fear in her eyes.Ryan’s chest barely moved. There were tubes everywhere. Blood.God.I pressed my forehead against the cool surface of the glass and shut my eyes for a split second. Don’t die… please don’t die. I didn’t care who was listening… I prayed. I begged. I would’ve made deals with the damn devil if it meant hearing him laugh again.I couldn’t take it anymore.I spun around and stormed down the corridor, barely registering the people I passed. My blood was boiling, my vision tunneling.Ricardo.He was in his room. Comfortable. Alive. Breathing. While Ryan was fighting for every second.I didn’t even

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception    What’s going on?

    RAFAELI stood at the edge of the dock, the wind biting through my coat as I checked my watch again. The ocean was calm tonight, but my gut wasn’t. I didn’t like this kind of silence, it always meant something was coming. And not always a shipment.We were early. I didn’t believe in being late to things that could cost me my life or millions of dollars.A few headlights blinked in the distance, bouncing off the stacked containers, and I tensed. But then I saw him.Alessio.I glanced sideways… Bella was walking toward him. I matched her pace as we made our way to him.Alessio didn’t wait for pleasantries."What do you want from me again?" he snapped as soon as we were within range, his voice echoing slightly against the metal around us.Then he turned to Bella, eyes narrowing."You," he said, with a short laugh. "I trusted you. I actually thought you were depressed, genuinely spiraling." He shook his head and scoffed. "And then you used it. Played the poor broken girl card on me. Wicke

    RICARDO"I should’ve fucking used it!" I roared, slamming my fist into the wall so hard the plaster cracked beneath my knuckles. "I should’ve stopped the goddamn time!"The rage in my chest was a wildfire, my breathing came in sharp bursts, my vision red with fury and self-loathing. I could still see it… Ryan collapsing into my arms, the life draining from his eyes, his blood warm and sticky on my hands.I had the power to change that. I could’ve changed it.I should’ve.I paced the length of the room like a madman, fists clenched, every nerve in my body shaking with guilt.Why didn’t I use it? Why the fuck didn’t I just use it?Because every time I did, a part of me broke. My health spiraled. The nosebleeds, the migraines, the tremors… they got worse with each use. And the last time… the last time almost killed me.But so what?I clenched my jaw and slammed my fist against the wall again, harder this time. A small streak of blood bloomed on my skin, but I didn’t care. The pain was t

    RYANI closed my eyes, waiting for the inevitable. I could feel the cold steel of the gun still pressed against my forehead, and my breath hitched as I prepared for the end. This was it. After everything, this was how it would all go down.But just as Matteo's finger tightened on the trigger, a voice rang out from behind me."Don’t do it."It was Ricardo.Matteo stilled for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he turned toward the sound of the command. But the smirk never left his face. He shifted his weight slightly, keeping the gun locked on me but still facing the voice that threatened him.Ricardo stepped into view, and he wasn’t alone. Behind him, Lucas stood, his arms pinned tightly at his sides, a gun pressed to his temple. Ricardo’s eyes locked onto Matteo’s with a cold stare."If you try anything, I’ll shoot him," Ricardo said, his voice calm, unbothered. Matteo’s lips curled up into that wicked smile again, but his laugh was darker this time. "Does it look like I care? You s

    RYANJust like Rafael predicted, I got the call.I was going out with them tonight.I stood by the entrance, adjusting the sleeves of my jacket, when Rafael strolled in casually like we were headed to a beach bar and not a war zone. A loose black shirt, baggy brown trousers that fitted him perfectly.I blinked at him. “You sure you’re dressed for a fight?”He shrugged. “Comfort over chaos, my friend.”I couldn’t help the snort that escaped. Then I leaned in. “Did you talk to Ricardo? About Bella?”“Yeah, sure. He agreed,” Rafael said, brushing invisible lint off his shirt. “She should be here any…”Before Rafael could even finish his sentence, the doors swung open.Ricardo stepped out, his boots hitting the marble. He was followed by five of his men, all suited, armed, and cold-eyed. His gaze landed on me. “Since you're going to be my underboss soon,” he said, voice sharp and commanding, “you start earning that title. From tonight, you follow us out on every mission.

    RICARDO I kept knocking. Three times. Then four. I didn’t even know why I was still standing there. Maybe I wanted to fix it. Maybe I just needed to see him. Needed to apologize, even though I knew words weren’t enough. Why the hell did I think it was a good idea? A threesome? With her? His girlfriend… or should I say ex. God. What the hell was wrong with me? "Ryan," I called again, softer this time. “Come on, man. Please… open the door.” The silence on the other side stretched, after a few seconds the door creaked open. Ryan stood there, arm crossed. “What do you want?” he asked flatly. I opened my mouth, but the words caught in my throat. Then I saw him. Rafael. Lying on the bed. Something inside me cracked. My stomach twisted, but I kept my face still. “What are you doing here?” I asked, even though I already knew. I just… needed to hear him say it. Rafael tilted his head. “I don’t understand the question,” he said. “Am I not allowed in this room?” That was it. That t
