Renata grabbed Michelangelo’s hand and caressed it softly. Michelangelo was angry at Yoshiro, but the moment Renata touched him, he melted. His anger went out the window and he sweetly looked at Renata who was caressing his hands.

Michelangelo looked at his hand, the brass knuckles had bruised his hands as well. There were a few cuts too.

“I am fine,” said Michelangelo.

“No, you are not. You are hurt. You are hurt because of us,” said Renata with tears in her eyes.

“Are you kidding me? You are hurt because of me,” said Michelangelo and touched her cheeks carefully. He didn’t want to hurt her even more. Yet she flinched with pain.

“Girls! Are you alright?” asked Michelangelo. All nodded at him. They were too shocked to speak.

“Sev! Take care of them. I will deal with him,” said Michelangelo and grabbed Yoshiro by his hair.

“But your hand…” protested Renata.

“I will take care of it, I promise,” he softly placed the back of his hand on her cheek and caressed it again. “You have to

    Tikhon was pacing up and down in the hall of his huge mansion. His hands kept going to his moustache and he kept twisting the end of his handlebar. He was under the radar of the Interpol. He was questioned all day, all night the previous day by the police. He was furious. On one side he had to deal with the police and on the other, he had to deal with the repercussions of the nominations. Someone was ending the competition and he had no idea. He had to find out soon. That competition made everyone aware of the SMS. He just wanted an heir but now every eye was on SMS and its dealing. He didn’t like that at all. The mafia syndicate was hidden from the world. They were doing their job easily and silently. But because of his branding every slave and then killing of those slaves brought everything to light. Maybe his retirement was going to bring his downfall. He was strict while handling the business and knew he had to show his strict self to everyone again. How dare someone defy him? W

  • The Auction Ring   The Remorse

    Michelangelo didn’t want to know what Tikhon was going to do with Yoshiro. He had no interest in that. He only wanted to race back to his girl. He had no concern for Yoshiro or Tikhon, he only had concern for Renata and her injuries. He saw with his own eyes how Yoshiro treated her. He wanted to give her his shoulder to cry on. He moved towards his car and took half his team with him. The rest of the team was taking care of Yoshiro’s goons. They too had to face the wrath of Tikhon with their master, Yoshiro. Michelangelo soon reached Renata’s house where he saw Severino taking care of the girls, and everyone was patched up. Police were still there trying to get statements from everyone. The girls knew only about the assault and not the killings. They were too distraught after they heard that Yoshiro killed every guard. Valentina was sobbing on Hazel’s shoulder and talking with the police. “Everyone out!” commanded Michelangelo. All looked at him and within seconds the house was emp

  • The Auction Ring   The Request

    Michelangelo and Severino were staring at the girls who had their mouths open and eyes widened with shock. They were oblivious to the world around them. They were in the smack middle of the mafia world, and they had no idea about it. Hell, they were almost killed by one of the members of the mafia. “You are kidding, right?” asked Ambrosia. Even the fearless gulped with fear. “I wish I was kidding. I am sorry again,” said Michelangelo. “Get out! Get out! Now!!!” shouted Hazel. Michelangelo looked at Renata. She opened her mouth, but her lips quivered, and nothing came out of her mouth. Was she trying to stop him? Was she trying to send him away too? “Hazel?” Severino was shocked. “You knew if you got involved with us, that might hurt us, that might come to bite us in the ass. We were held at gunpoint. He hit us, he assaulted Ren, and all you can say is sorry. We are thankful that you helped us, saved us but that does not make everything right,” said Hazel. “Hazel!” exclaimed Same

    Beaten and bruised Yoshiro reached his home. He had a humiliating day. He lost to Michelangelo and didn’t even get the girl. Moreover, he was exiled from SMS. He could never get a favour from any member of SMS and had to let go of his every Odal. He knew his father was going to shout at him for being reckless and not sharing any information with him. Moreover, Cheng was going to kill him. He knew he could take on Cheng but messing with a Consigliere was not good for anyone. One by one his Odals were leaving his house as they were given orders by Yoshiro’s father. Tikhon was angry at him for launching an attack on his own people just to win the Supreme Boss position. He even killed someone that Tikhon never saw coming. Yoshiro sat down on his couch with a drink in his hand and looked at his empty house. There was no one standing next to him or taking orders from him. Everyone left him alone. Neither his father nor his mother were with him. Everyone was given strict instructions to no

    Everything was silent for Yoshiro. There was no pain, no noise, no movement for quite some time. Soon he felt the pain rushing over him. He tried opening his eyes, but it was hard. Even after he opened his eyes everything was dark. He could hear something sloshing around him. Was he close to a water body? His head was ready to split open with pain. He knew it was the pain that started from his nose and extended to his head. He lifted his hands to rub his forehead, but his hands stopped midway with a jerk. With his right hand, his left hand moved too and then he sensed the rope that bound his hands and legs. Everything was dark, something was close to his ears. He took a deep whiff of his surroundings but there was no smell. Where was he? He could hear but not smell. He could feel but not see. He lifted his hands and tried to touch the side of his surroundings. Just a few inches up he could touch something metallic. He tapped and he heard the sound. He was inside a metallic box. He t

  • The Auction Ring   The Fight

    The leader always had a smirk on their face. No matter what Yoshiro said or what the leader replied the smile went nowhere. It was like that smile was to taunt Yoshiro and to show him who was superior and who should be afraid of whom. The leader cracked their knuckles and neck and stared directly into Yoshiro’s face. “Before we decide to fight you, let me tell you one more thing. Then you can decide if you want to fight me.” The leader went close to his ears and whispered something. “What? No… no… that is… impossible,” Yoshiro almost forgot how to breathe. He was on his knees yet tried to get away from the leader. The vigilante behind him stopped him and made him face the leader. He started hyperventilating. “Oh, you lost all your confidence. We should not have told you that, right?” teased the leader. “You are lying. You are lying!!!” shouted Yoshiro. “That is impossible.” “Nothing is impossible. Untie him, he will fight me,” said the leader. “No, no, no, stop, stop,” shouted Yo

    Michelangelo reached his home with a long face. He knew why the girls threw him out of their house but why did they have to do that? He had lost so many friends like that. That was one of the reasons he hated his Mafia life. He was kind and polite and full of life and people loved to do friendship with him but when they would get to know about the family he belonged to, they distanced themselves. He always wanted an out. He thought his company would give an out, but he was wrong. His father started using that company for his own purposes. Every bid for construction was given to Michelangelo. At first, he protested but when he got to know that Tikhon was involved, he kept quiet. He didn’t want his father or his family to be harmed. He took off his jacket and threw it over his couch. He went to his fridge and took out a whole tray of ice. After dumping the ice on the kitchen towel, he first iced his hands. He sighed with relief for a second and again his heart started aching.

He knew Detective Prestige would keep them safe.He was not sure if Yoshiro would abide by Tikhon’s words. Vicktor was right, Yoshiro was indeed an eager child. Maybe he would bring on full wrath on the girls. He had to make sure that they were alright at all costs. Should he bring them to his home? But they wanted nothing to do with him. How could he ask them to come with him?Michelangelo went to his room and took off his clothes. He stood under the warm water and let the water wash away his worries. He would not learn anything till Severino would come back. He didn’t want to call him and disturb him when he was looking after so many people. His whole building was now under protection.Even though Yoshiro chose only girls, all the other tenants saw the guards dead and the police asked questions from them. So, it was his duty to take

    One year later….Michelangelo snaked his hand under Renata’s waist and pulled her closer to himself. She moaned a little in her sleep but adjusted herself as the small spoon. He kissed on her neck and sighed happily.His love was sleeping close to him and there were no enemies around except the two alarm clocks, one boy and a girl, who could wake up at any time disturbing Renata’s beauty sleep. She needed that sleep to look good tomorrow. After one whole year of proposing, Renata finally said yes to him and they were going to be married tomorrow. He could not sleep due to excitement. He again looked at Renata. She had gained weight because of childbirth and her full figure made her look even prettier. If she was hot before, she was irresistible now.He lowered the string of her spaghetti top and started planting wet kisses all over her neck and shoulder. Renata groaned a little and tried to move away from him but he pulled her even closer and wrapped his arms around her tightly.“Mic

    The big court was full of people. The head of coscas, Tikhon, Consiglieres, the enforcers, the footmen, everyone was present there waiting for their hearing. Tikhon was sitting beside his lawyer in his seat with his head down. After the death of Aurora, he spoke the bare minimum. He just opened his mouth to answer whatever was being asked to him. It was like he was broken from the inside. The woman he loved the most was dead. His vast empire had crumbled down. All the people working for him were under arrest. His wife, his daughter hated him. No one was with him, no one cared about him anymore. He was a broken shell of a man. The judge arrived and everyone stood up. The girls and Michelangelo were sitting in the back behind the Aagua State Attorney (ASA). Interpol had done its job and handed everything to the local government. After Aagua would be done punishing, Tikhon and the head of Coscas would go back to Siago to face charges there too. Aagua state attorney stood up first and g

    The precinct was filled with people from SMS. There was no place inside the prison for their holding. Tikhon was still screaming for Aurora but she was dead. Nika was taken to the hospital and Aurora to the morgue. Yekaterina was not officially arrested yet she never left Renata’s side. She clung to her as if her life depended on it. Interpol people were reviewing all the evidence collected and matching names with everyone present there. The whole precinct was echoing with sounds like ‘I didn’t do anything’, ‘I am innocent’, ‘I never laid hands on anyone’, ‘I was just the bodyguard’, ‘let me go’, etc. “You need to sit down. I have to go to prison, Yeka,” said Renata. “You are not under arrest, you cannot come inside.” “But where should I go? I have no one left,” sobbed Yekaterina. “You have your mother. Prestige! Can you take her to the hospital? Yeka! You need to be with her. If you need anything say Renata Zyanya have sent you,” ordered Renata. “Who?” asked Yekaterina. “Renata

    Aurora was not ready for what Renata was saying. What did she mean by she was four steps ahead? With one move Aurora was sure that she would make Renata bend her knees before her then why was she smiling and not afraid? Did she stop loving her sister? Did she not care about her? Was her hatred of her father so great that she was ready to sacrifice her sister? Aurora looked to her side where Renata was staring. What was she doing? Why was she looking at Yekaterina? “Bring her to me,” snapped Aurora and signalled Aurelie. Aurora looked at Renata and spewed poison, “You are against auction ring. Then see what I will do to your sister in the auction ring. I will sell her again and again to different people for one night each. She will be branded odal over and over again till we run out of the skin to brand her. I will turn your sister into a whore, a prostitute. She will live to pleasure men and women. Your sister will beg for death, but I will not allow her to die. She will be my whore,

    “Fanasi! What…?” Vicktor was shocked to his core.“She killed Samiul, Vicktor, she killed him. She told everything to Tikhon. She told him how I wanted to shut down the auction ring. But it was the greatest source of her income. How could she let that go? She is behind everything, Tikhon is just her puppet, smitten by her. You think Tikhon hit her, abused her, no, he never laid a hand on her. Everything was a ruse.“You are such a great actress. Aren’t you? You made everyone believe that you were the victim, but everyone else was the victim. I hated Nika for torturing you, but you endured all because you had to get sympathy from everyone. The first odal!” Renata scoffed. “You sold yourself to show everyone how good the auction ring business was. He bought you because you asked him to.“You even let him brand you. You are the one who started this kidnapping, this torture, this buying and selling, this abuse-culture. How sadist are you? Just to get some money you are okay to sell young

    Renata was shocked to the core. She could not believe what was happening. Tikhon was coming close to her. But it was not the way she hoped for. She had her mother in his grip. She was ready to kill his first odal just to get Renata. So many guns were pointed at her and her team. How was she going to get out of this situation? Tikhon was almost in her face. He grabbed her neck and brought her face closer to himself. His eyes were dripping fear but his hands were not afraid of her. He knew she loved her mother and would do anything to save her. “I am going to kill you. I will burn the skin off you and then chop you into pieces. This time you will stay dead. No one is taking SMS away from me. SMS will live,” he kept gritting his teeth. His saliva kept flying on Renata’s face. She never even flinched. “No, please,” Aurora begged. “Oh, but I forgot, you are pregnant. You daughter of a whore, you are pregnant. Are you sure your kid is Michel’s? or are you trying to trap him just like yo

    The day was extremely bright that day. The day of the coronation arrived. Renata was locked in her house as she knew she was going to get her father. He was going to lose. Michelangelo had planned everything, and she was ready for it. But was she really ready to destroy her father and his empire? Her mind was occupied with Yeka and her mother, Aurora. She knew that Tikhon knew that she was coming, and he would definitely use them as a shield. Although she had a plan in motion, she was not sure if she would succeed. Something was going to be wrong she had an intuition. “Are you ready?” Sameeksha knocked at the door. Renata opened the door and exhaled loudly. “Woah! You don’t look good,” said Sameeksha. Renata raised one finger and ran to the bathroom. Whatever she ate last night, she puked everything. Sameeksha ran to the bathroom after her and kept caressing her back. Renata sat down on the bathroom floor after puking her guts. “Oh!” Renata groaned. “Feeling okay, now?” asked Same

Vikentiy raised his gun at her.Renata lowered her eyes and took a deep sigh. She then raised her head to look at him and with fire in her eyes stood up. She walked up to him and put her head on the barrel of his gun.“Do it! Let’s see how much courage you have,” taunted Renata. “If you kill me, my people might give you your kids back.”“Ren!” shouted Hazel and a few of Renata’s team members stood up in shock.Renata raised her finger to shut her up. Everyone sat back down. Looking at her fierce eyes Vikentiy backed down. He lowered his gun and went down to his knees. “Please, not my daughter. She did nothing to you. Please let her go! She is just a kid.”Renata grabbed a chuck of his hair and yanked it hard, making him look at her. She lowered her face to look directly into his eyes and snapped,

    Renata had to work fast. Even though she knew the abductees were safe in her place she didn’t want to give Tikhon a chance to rescue them. Well, no one knew where she was except her team and now Michelangelo. His plan was on point. On the day of the coronation, he would smuggle everyone inside the hall and then they could attack Tikhon as the security around him would be minimal. All eyes would be on Michelangelo that day, but Renata’s eyes would be on Tikhon. She knew her mother would be there, and he might use her. But Tikhon loved Aurora the most in his life, maybe he might not put her in harm’s way. The only person she was concerned about was, Yekaterina, her half-sister. She sent her people to keep an eye on her, but Yekaterina was surrounded by Tikhon’s people. It would be difficult to get her out. Her people had scheduled the meeting with Octavius, Zhaohui and Vikentiy. The meeting was fixed in a public place. A big table was reserved at a famous restaurant, and everyone was s
