I watched as Nate left the room. He had just received a call from Dominic. I had little idea of what they had discussed, but it seemed important, judging from Nate's expressions and the fact that he left no words or further questions before leaving the room.

I sat down on the bed and watched the luggage.

"So this was it... I was going to take on this mission and leave for Las Vegas," I thought.

With some minutes gone by, I stepped out of the room and walked down the stairs. Only to catch sight of some of the maids approaching with my luggage in their grasp.

Awaiting my presence at the mansion doorstep was Marc.

"Good to see you are ready," he said with a weird smile. I left no words, only a glare, but then scanned around as I caught sight of many armed men stationed, which left me wondering what their presence was called for.

"I'm very sure you are going to do good in this, your first mission, and bring glory onto the De Santos name," Marc continued, drawing my focus back to him.

    [Dominic's POV]"So, tell me, Nate, you had stopped my steps back then, mentioning this same Sierra we have been searching for quite a long while... So, have you gotten her in control now? Where is she?" I asked.Even though i was yet to forget the issue with Adrian's wife and my men that i had brought from the club.I can still remember the silence that went through after one of them mentioned Adrian's wife's name. The same screeching tires sound...Yet, she claims not to know anything, but was I really right? That she was the one who killed them?I had my doubts, but should I then deny my men's last words? I had ordered some men to go in search of their bodies, tracing their cellphones to the last places where they called. The men caught no sign of any dead bodies, which only brought more doubts to my mind."She has been taken care of, boss. You don't have to worry about her..." I heard Nate utter, but did I just hear him wrongly? What does he mean by she has been taken care of?"Wh

    In that moment, I caught sight of a stranger walking up to Damarc side as he whispered something into his ears, which led to a change in his expression. I watched him leave a scan around the room as though he was searching for someone. His eyes brushed through my side, but I could feel a side of me hoping to hide from his gaze, but that wasn't of any use; that was just going to increase a side of suspicion. He had no idea who I was anyway and why I was here. Not long after, he stood up from his seat as the two men escorted him to a room. "Where is he heading to?" I wondered, thinking maybe he was already leaving. I surely couldn't allow that now. Taking some steps, I followed up his movement, leaving a scan back with my pistol slowly pointed out as my finger closed in on the trigger, ready to pull. I forced a push, entering the room in a hastened speed, only for it to turn out to be a hallway. The lights were red, making it hard to have a clear view. My pistol already pointed up a

  • The Crimson Trail of Death   Price of Survival

    [Sierra’s POV]The light was low, casting shadows around the room, a suffocating silence settling over everything except for his ragged breathing. His grip tightened, the hunger in his eyes overwhelming. He worked swiftly, tearing at my clothes with each rip echoing louder in my head than it should have. His hands moved mercilessly, stripping me and positioning me roughly on the bed. Every motion felt like an assault on my dignity, each touch a violation of my sense of self.As he forced me into position, I wanted to scream, to push him away, but my body betrayed me, frozen under the weight of his control—just another man sent from the club, driven by power rather than connection.“You signed the deal,” he whispered into my ear, the words laced with venom. “There’s no escaping this. You’re mine for tonight.”I felt every push and pull, each thrust more invasive than the last. My legs ached, my body tense and trembling. Tears and an overwhelming mix of pain and confusion filled me as

    After giving her the medicine as she was done taking them, I laid by her side, my grasp gently holding her like a warm hug. I didn't want to lose her.I didn't know when I eventually fell asleep. My eyes fluttered open from the rays of the sun as I shook awake.I slowly stood up, my gaze on my mom, who was still slumbering. The sight seemed to take away the ache in my heart.A knock caught my attention later, and I slowly approached the door. It was the landlord."Good day, Miss Sierra. I can see you've just woken up. I hope I didn't disturb your sleep. It's quite shocking to see you sleeping so peacefully, even though you owe me a lot," he said."I know you're here for the money, Mr. Ambrose, but I promise to get it. Please, can you give us some more days?" I pleaded."And how many more days will I always give you? I mean, this 'few days' doesn't seem to end in your calendar," he uttered as I watched his steps getting closer as he entered the house, giving a swift glance."So many th

    Pain shot through me as I felt a frozen ache lingering in each part of my body, unable to catch a proper breath as I lay on the bed. The night brought the echo of another long day filled with the weight of each word and gaze.I managed to sit up, resting my back against the wall as I released a sigh, trying to get a grip on myself. The last client's grasp was still stained on my skin, leaving me to question my existence in this job every day. The painful fact remained that I wasn't able to get any money today since it wasn't payday. I couldn't repeat my actions of drugging and stealing the customer's money like the last time, so what could I possibly do now?My only hope was in begging Nate and seeing if his cruel demeanour could show some mercy. I knew it wouldn't work as easily as I hoped, but the least I could do was try.I gently stood up, climbing each step as I walked into the bathroom, splashing some water on my face. I washed my face, leaving a glance in the mirror after. I no

    The car stopped inches away from me, its tires screeching loudly. I fell backward, hitting my head and hands on the ground. Blood trickled down my forehead.I tried to sit up, but everything spun around me. "Was this it? Am I going to die here? Mom... I'm sorry," I whispered silently, watching a man step out of the car and approach me. My eyes gave way, and everything went blank.""Get me the doctor," a voice called urgently. "She's bleeding profusely. We have to stop the bleeding now." Other voices followed, accompanied by various sounds.I had no idea where I was. My eyes could only catch a glimpse of the bright light that gleamed through as they slowly shut again, and everything turned blank once more.Everything fell silent for a while as all I could see was darkness, which was slowly subsiding to a slight gleam of light. I gently opened my eyes, scanning the area and realizing I was in a hospital. My entire body ached, followed by a shooting pain in my head. The memories of the

    The late night found me sitting on a chair as my mom's funeral was being conducted, with some people I had no idea who they were, walking in and offering their fake condolences. People who didn't show up when my mom and I needed them the most were now showing off some care at her burial. I felt like ripping each and every limb of theirs, piece by piece."So sad she had to go quite soon," a voice came through, as my eyes landed on Clarence, my so-called uncle who had snatched all my family's property from our grasp and rendered me and my mom homeless and on the street to suffer.If he hadn't done that, maybe my mom would be here with me today."What are you doing here?" I questioned, standing up, my eyes darkening with fury."Chill, my precious niece. She is family, and of course, I am here to pay my absolute respect," he said with a smirk."We don't need it. Please leave now," I said, my hands halting at the door path.I watched him chuckle slightly, his presence only leaving an erupt

    I found myself crumbling to the ground as I tried managing a seat. How could this be? His mysterious second brother, but I had heard from all that he was a cruel being, more cruel than his brother Dominic De Santos. But if the rumors stood to be true, I couldn't deny the fact that I am alive right now, all because he had rushed me to the hospital.So, how can such be labeled cruel, and his act also? Those caring eyes, even though I knew that his attitude displayed here today was different, I couldn't help but find a slight care in those eyes.Was I seeing it this way because I had never received such care from anybody before? Nevertheless, one thing also stood out.I wanted revenge on Dominic De Santos, and now his brother was here. Wouldn't that just put my life in more danger? Should I really be pulling this deal?My mind flickered through different thoughts, echoing deep as I found myself lost in a void. On one path stood my revenge, and on the other stood a dangerous path which I

    "Tell me, is it true?" Adrian questioned, "That you are leaving for Las Vegas? Answer me, Sierra."I could see that even with his wounded, bandaged body, he was still eager to know everything going on and wanted answers from me. I also couldn't believe it when Marc uttered it from his mouth."This company is based in Las Vegas, so you are to travel back to Las Vegas today and begin your mission," Marc had said.Those words were something I never thought I would hear. It seemed he wasn't one to take things slow.But I never thought I would be returning to Las Vegas, even though it was to be expected."I wasn't the one who decided that, Adrian," I replied, hoping to take some of my clothing, but Adrian remained blocking my path as he approached me hastily. My back was pressed against the wall. His eyes fixed on mine."You have begun to act different now, haven't you? Don't forget where you are coming from, the deal we both had. You are to act as my loyal wife at all times," he reminded

    Recalling things now, I could also remember her discussing with a man on the phone, the same time she had me kidnapped, as she also addressed him as "father."Could it be that this man was her father? But what does she mean by "don't harm Adrain"? Wait, don't tell me she was behind the reason Adrain arrived home in such a state.Should I really be jumping to such conclusions so fast? I hadn't even checked on Adrian yet to confirm things, but even so, I still find it hard to shake Elena's words."Don't hurt Adrain, Father, or else I will never forgive you for that. Just hold on and stay low while I handle things," she said, as I tried moving in closer, hoping to hear her words more clearly and maybe the response from the call. I accidentally stepped onto a metal plate, which left a clashing sound—one that brought a sharp turn from Elena.I hid myself away from her sight, leaving the area at that very moment as I distanced myself, stopping at a side."That was close," I muttered to myse

    [Sierra's POV]"What do you think you're doing, Dominic?" Marc snapped, but Dominic remained persistent as his fingertips closed in on the trigger.In that moment, I caught sight of some men coming out of nowhere, armed with guns.But their actions afterward left me stunned as they stood in protection, their guns aimed at Dominic, ready to shoot."She is a traitor... I'm sure of it," Dominic uttered, declaring again."What has really gotten into you today? Don't forget she is now the sohoe the De Santos, and you should put some respect into that," Marc said, but even with all the words, they did little to Dominic as his eyes remained narrowed, locked onto mine."Are you going to speak, or do you want me to do that?" he started, making me wonder what he meant.I can't just say it's about the men at the club. I'm sure he doesn't know that; I have to stop showing any suspicious signs. But if it wasn't about that, what could it be?His expression changed for that moment, downcast, before

    I heard a screeching sound, which caused my eyes to spring open. I found myself lying in wet mud as I tried to stand up. A sharp sting hit my head, and my legs buckled, causing me to stumble back down.Catching a glimpse, I watched a car drive off. I could hardly get a proper glance through the heavy rainfall blurring my vision.But I was sure it was one of Elena's dad henchmen."I will make sure to make them pay for what they have done. Those bastards, who do they think they are?" I thought."Adrian, sir..." I heard a voice that drew my attention. I had no idea that they had dropped me off right in front of the mansion.To know they even had the guts to do that, not scared if they were sighted and killed. Well, this was to be expected since I was dealing with Elena's father in the line.One of the men came rushing to my side as he helped me up from the muddy ground.I hated the sight of my own weak state. No, I wasn't weak; it was just them that played a cowardly trick. Being, i neve

I threatened, yelling only to cough out more blood as a punch sank deep into my stomach."And how does that matter?" the man who had punched me replied.How dare he lay a finger on me, knowing very well that I am Adrian De Santos? He must surely wish for his death so much.My thoughts went back to leaving the club with those men ambushing me. Now I found myself in this room. They had kept me here for a while now, hitting me repeatedly.But they were nothing but cowards. I would make them pay once I found a way out of here."The boss is on his way, Felix," one of the men walked in saying. "You should stop now. You know he doesn't like messy work.""So their boss is on his way," I thought to myself. Finally, I would be able to know who had the guts to have me, Adrian De Santos, kidnapped.Who could that fool be?The man retreated a bit from my side, but his eyes remained fixed on mine. It was as if he was ready to

    "What are you saying, Sierra? Tell me, who was it? Who did you kill? Is it Dominic...?" Nate questioned, but how could it be Dominic?Even though I wished for his death so much, I wouldn't have been so stupid as to go for a straight attack."No, Nate..." I replied, "It's the men...""The what?""I killed them, Nate. I just killed the men from the club; they saw me, so I had no choice. Now, I don't know what to do. What if they find out that I was the one who... no, I can't let that happen," I mumbled, as many thoughts came hitting me, leaving me worried and causing my legs to buckle."Hold on, Sierra. Just calm down; nothing is going to happen. I promised to protect you from any harm. I can't surely allow anything to happen to you now," Nate said. But where was he when the men at the club had sighted me, when I had no other option but to take action and stop them by killing them? Just where was he back then?"What am I going to do, Nate?" I asked again, hoping he would have an answer,
