OWEN

“Are you sure you’re searching right? Because there’s no way he just disappeared into thin air.” I said to Marco, raising an eyebrow as I watched him puff on his cigarette. He didn’t answer, his eyes showing he was in deep thought as the smoke curled around his face.

“Funny, isn’t it?” Marco finally spoke, his voice low, almost thoughtful. “Somehow beat five of our men and escaped. I gotta admit, the little fucker’s actually strong, considering we had him beat to a pulp before his escape.”

I rubbed my chin, trying to piece together what had just happened. It didn’t add up. But then Marco’s eyes narrowed, and he started staring at me like I was the one hiding something.

“What?” I asked, confusion in my voice as I raised an eyebrow, noticing the way he was studying me.

He didn’t answer immediately. Another drag of his cigarette. Then, he tossed out the question with a casual shrug. “Just wondering if you had to let him go for the redhead.”

I froze. Surprised by his accusation. Mar

  • The Don’s Indebted Stripper   61. MARKING TERRITORIES

    A FEW MINUTES EARLIER…MAE'S POV“Liam, if you get this message, call me back. We need to talk.” I hit send, my fingers tightening around my phone as I stepped into my room. I needed to know if he was alive. If he was safe. But I knew the chances of him replying were slim. After all, I was screwing Owen while Liam was probably being tortured. Or worse. I felt a sick feeling in my stomach. Did Owen kill him? Did he and his men cover it up, make it look like Liam ran away? I hated that I was even considering it, but I couldn't stop the thought from creeping in. Still, Owen wouldn’t lie to me. He had no reason to. Right? “Oh, nice. You are here.” Eli’s voice cut through my thoughts the second I stepped inside. I barely looked at him as I sank in to the bed, letting out a slow, tired breath. At least I didn’t walk in on the usual horror show—Eli screwing some random man like his life depended on it. Small mercy. “Apparently,” I muttered, rubbing my temples, trying to e

    MAEI barely listened to their back and forth, just stood there wordlessly until Owen pulled me away and we walked into a room together. He turned me to face him, “She’s nothing. Do you understand? I should have married her, but not anymore.”I nodded. I really, really wanted to explode but I honestly did not know if we were like that yet. He seemed to want that reaction though because he pulled me closer,“Tell me what’s on your mind, Mia Cara.”But before I could say anything, the loud sound of a gunshot pierced the air. It was followed by another, and then more.I jumped back, eyes wide. "What the hell—?"Owen grabbed me by the arm, pulling me closer to him. "Stay quiet. Stay close."What the hell was happening? "I need to go see what’s happening," Owen said, already moving toward the door. Panic shot through me so fast it made me feel funny in my stomach. I grabbed his hand, shaking my head frantically. "No…" My voice shook as the relentless gunfire outside sent a series of

    MAE“Why can’t I go in?” I asked Marco, but he didn’t even blink. Just stood there, arms crossed, face unreadable, like he hadn’t heard me.At some point, this man was going to have to tell me why he hated me so much. Or maybe—just maybe he was secretly in love with Owen and jealous of our relationship. The thought was so ridiculous I almost laughed.No, nothing about Marco screamed gay. And if he was, well, he was doing a damn good job hiding it.“Why?” he repeated, looking very pissed. “Knowing the boss, he doesn’t make mistakes. He is too well-trained for that. You would have to be a damn good shooter to land a bullet on him. He is that perfect.” He tilted his head slightly. “Never makes a mistake... and yet, somehow, he gets injured when you are around.”A chill ran down my spine, cold sweat breaking out across my skin.Marco watched me like a predator watching prey, like he was enjoying every second of my discomfort. “The boss is insisting you had nothing to do with it,” he

    MAE“You look like you just saw a ghost…” Owen said, not even giving me a second to process what was happening before he gently took my phone right out of my hands. I swear my soul left my body the moment his eyes landed on the screen. “That fucking pest. I should have broken his kneecaps when I had the chance… He did this!” His voice was filled with the kind of anger that made me instinctively shift back. I opened my mouth, then closed it again. There was nothing I could say that wouldn’t make this worse. He looked like he was ready to kill someone. Probably him.“I am sure there’s a logical explanation for this…” I finally managed to say, though my voice sounded weak even to my own ears. “Logical? The text tells me all I need to know,” Owen snapped, his hold on the phone strong. His expression was one of pure rage, and then, suddenly, he winced. A small groan slipped out as he clutched his arm. My fear disappeared in an instant. “Are you okay?” I asked, moving forward, my h

    MAE“I mean, what’s the point of being hot if you can’t even fuck properly?” Eli huffed, running a frustrated hand through his hair. His annoyance was all over his face.He had been going on and on about his date. Apparently, the guy was nothing more than a pretty face—horrible in bed, zero chemistry, a complete waste of time.Or something like that.Honestly, I hadn’t been paying much attention. My mind had been somewhere else entirely.The offer Amelia made to Owen.I couldn’t help but wonder, was he going to take it? If not for anything else, then at least for business.It made sense. It was the logical thing to do.And Owen? He was nothing if not logical.Owen never told her he wouldn’t marry her when she made that offer. In fact, he didn’t give her any real response at all. And at that moment, I couldn’t help but wonder—what the hell was going through his mind? Eli let out a sharp breath , pacing the room. "Now that I think about it, I was just an experiment for him.

    MAEFuck. I somehow managed to get myself kidnapped.My head was pounding, an annoying pain that felt like someone had taken a hammer to my skull. The sting where they had jabbed a needle into my neck was still there, faint but burning like an afterthought.I forced my eyes open despite the weirdness I was feeling as I looked around the room that I was in.The room was dark, like a creepy-movie dark, with this tiny bulb barely doing its job. Shadows were everywhere, and for a second, I couldn’t even tell how big the room was.I screamed. Like, full-on screamed, my voice bouncing off the walls. “Hello? Somebody! Help!”Nothing. Just dead silence.I started yanking at the restraints, twisting my wrists and pulling as hard as I could. The ropes dug into my skin, and the chair made these loud creaking sounds, but yeah, nothing. I wasn’t getting out of this.My eyes darted around the room, looking for something sharp—anything that could cut me loose. But nope. Nothing. Just empty walls an

    MAE“Are you serious about that?” Owen asked, his tone suddenly changed. His eyes stayed locked on me, waiting, no, expecting me to take back my words.But I wasn’t going to.“Yes…” My voice trailed off as I said, “I know you might not want to consider the idea, but think about it. What do you have to lose?”“My freedom, that’s what.”I saw the anger flash across his face, his jaw clenched. He didn’t like my idea—not one bit—but I had to make him believe it was the right choice. The only choice.“What do you mean?” I asked, keeping my voice steady.Owen scoffed, shaking his head, but I pushed forward.“Look, I don’t mean to get involved in your business,” I continued, “but I can’t just ignore this. I am worried about you. The freaking Castellanos, Owen. Who knows what they are planning? While you are hesitating, refusing to make reliable allies for the battle ahead, they could be securing their own.”I paused, taking a slow breath before delivering the final blow.“Don Paulo is powe

    MAEI gripped the table, my fingers digging into the wood as Owen picked up the pace. His good hand held me firmly, pulling me closer with every deep, punishing thrust. My breath hitched—caught between pleasure and something else, something darker, something dangerous.“Owen…” I gasped, barely able to get the words out. He filled me so completely, so overwhelmingly, I couldn’t think beyond the sensation of him stretching me open, claiming me in ways that made my heart race.The sound of skin slapping against skin echoed through the room, the raw, primal rhythm making everything feel chaotic, out of control.Owen groaned, his grip tightening on my hips. “You feel so fucking good, Mae,” he muttered, voice rough, desperate.God, I felt the same.I tried to steady myself, but there was no slowing down. He drove into me with relentless force, each thrust sending shivers down my spine. My body burned with need, but beneath the heat, beneath the pleasure, there was something else—something I

    MAE"Thank you very much, you have fed me properly today." I took a large gulp of yoghurt. My stomach was really full."That's one of my responsibilities to you." He wiped the corner of my mouth with tissue."What's today?" Suddenly I remembered about my medical checkup."Today is Friday. The end of the month.""Damn! I have my antenatal checkup today.""Really? There's still time. Tell me the schedule the doctor told you." He brought out his diary, waiting for my response."Every four weeks for the next seven months, and every two weeks till the ninth month.""Fine. I will have to be reminding you from henceforth." He closed his diary after taking note of it.Owen took me to the hospital, the exact one where I was told I was pregnant.It was same doctor that told me I was pregnant.

    MAE"O... Owen, you're here?" I stuttered. Why was he here? Is today not supposed to be his wedding? He wasn't supposed to find out this way. The look on his face made me swallow hard. He was mad angry."You're not answering my question, Mae. Are you pregnant?" His face has no expression.Scar quietly excused herself, leaving me to deal with my problems alone. So much for female solidarity."Yes Owen. I am." There was no need lying now. He must have heard everything by the door. Lying would escalate to more problems that I wasn't ready for.I could see a flicker of happiness in his eyes for a moment before the annoyance took over. "How long are you gone?" His eyes went to my stomach. I had no bump yet."A month. I found out about it early last week." I said quietly, my eyes avoiding his."For that long, and I'm just knowing of it now! Mae, what other things are you hiding from me?" He folded his arms. " I have finally figured out the reason you have been avoiding me. You think I won't

    OWENAfter I agreed to let Mae go to Joan's house as an insider again, I instructed Marco to find someone that will have an eye on her, some sort of a bodyguard. Since it was only two times a week, I would only be worried for those two days only, unlike before where worry was my best friend.We made love again bringing those sweet feelings to my heart. After I had dropped her off at Casa Eleganza. I went back to my club. I wasn't done going through those footages. The pictures I have so far were mostly those working as servers in the club.Eric would have a lot of work to do.I went through the last parts of the footages, new faces were that of the security men, Marco and a woman.I zoomed the video of Marco and the woman. It was same woman I had seen him with when I had my first meeting as regards to Joan's disappearance. He was holding hands with her and saying things that are barely inaudible.It felt strange though. Marco had never shown interest in woman. I wonder what this woman

    MAECongratulations, Ms Rivera. You're three weeks pregnant."The doctor's words kept ringing in my ears on my way to my apartment. I couldn't describe what I was feeling.While in her office some time ago, I even had to tell her to check the name well."Mae Rivera." The doctor read from the piece of paper in her hands. "Is that not your name?""It... It is." I stammered."Why are you... Wait, you are not ready yet?" She read my face."Yeah, kind of." I said."That's okay, Mae." She smiled again. "Since you're not ready and we discovered it early enough, you can take it out."I'm keeping it, Doctor." I said firmly. The last thing on my mind at this time was getting pregnant, but since it has happened, I can't kill my baby. I have to beat the consequences of my actions."Your husband would be happy.""I'm not married." Do I looked married? I'm not even wearing a ring."Ohh, I'm sorry for the assumption." She apologized. "I hope its father would be happy.""He would. He was even the on

    MAEIt was morning already and I was in Owen's arms. Making love out in the open was such an adventure. But we have to leave."Owen." I tapped him lightly. I remembered Eli. He would have been waiting for me to come back."Go back to sleep, Mae." He pulled me closer."It's nine thirty." I complained."I know." His eyes were still closed.He knew. He must have woken up before me.I succeeded in removing his hands."Mae, come back." He tried reaching out for me."Owen, wake up. We can't stay here all day." I put on my denim gown back."Staying with you makes me want to do nothing." He was fully awake now."That's sad, but I want to do something.""Ouch." He stood up from the bed.He had actually woken up, because he had his boxers on. He put on his shirt and trousers."I will be going over to Joan's today." I stated. I didn't want to waste time at all. My last meeting is with Joan was when he told me I had a bigger job to do for him."Really? Wait awhile. We just agreed yesterday.""I d

    MAE I can't believe I just forgave Owen after all the promises I made to myself never to. When Eli has told me he saw Owen, I thought he was joking. But he did show up at my door, went as far as bringing me out of my hiding spot by threatening to kill Eli. This man brought weakeness to my knees by saying that the words he went to me last week. I was now convinced that he was the one who wrote them. He had a way of softening me up. I even agreed to go out to dinner with him. When he left, Eli came out of the bathroom. "I'm sorry." I could not control my laughter. "It's not funny, Mae. I nearly peed on myself." "I'm so sorry." I said again, going to him to rub his back. "So, you guys are back together?" Eli asked me. "Yeah, somehow." I shrugged. "I heard liplocking sounds and you agreed to go on a date with him. That's not a somehow. You like him, don't you?" "I don't know, Eli. My head and heart are not friends at all. I decided I would never talk to him again, and now he sa

    OWEN"Where does she live?" I asked. It was two minutes past six am in the morning of the next day.Last night I was supposed to sleep like a baby because my woman has forgiven me, Scar turned it upside down by telling me news about Eve's death. I was happy, no doubt but a part of me was on high alert. I had some thoughts. It's possible that Joan's kidnapper could also be Eve's killer. And whoever did this wants to keep me to my toes.I decided that I would meet with Scar, Eric and Marco tomorrow morning, very early."Not that far from Joan's. Sometimes she sleeps at her house, sometimes Joan's." Scar replied. We were sitting on a round table.I had want to set this meeting only with Scar because I put her in charge of Eve, but then I did some thinking, it's best if Eric and Marco were aware of this as well. This was a clear sign that someone has their eyes on us."Did you ever speak to her?""Yeah, I did, just two times. The first time I met her at a pharmacy store, we didn't really

    OWENI was so prepared for this moment. I had two things on my mind. It was either Mae was lying or she was back from her grandparents' and her roommate has refused to tell me when she returned.At this point, nothing else mattered. I only wanted to see Mae. That was the main problem I was facing now.I walked stealthily to her room, having a rethink of what I would say to her. I got to her door front and knocked.No response as usual.I knocked again.Eli answered.I wasn't supposed to see Eli. Mae should have been the one here. It meant one thing that he must have seen me coming here and decided to alert her."I'm here to see Mae." I stated."Mae is not around. You were here this morning." He said. "She's in the hospital with her grandfather."I gave a weak laughter. It had been a lie all along."She is. Let me in." I said simply."She isn't."I looked him dead in the eye before I shoved him and forced myself inside. In a split second, I had my elbow over his neck. He chose the hard

Scar said."Eve? I haven't heard that name around here?""She is an insider. She was the one who told me about Joan's schedule on the day we were meant to capture him. Owen suspects her.... Wait, why am I even telling you this? You are no longer with Owen. You have no business knowing about his affairs.""I'm already involved in this. There's no way I would be left out.""I'm sorry, Rivera. I can't say past that." Scar stood up from her seat.I feel that she was keeping her loyalty to Owen. She was right. I'm no longer with Owen and Owen is no longer my boss. So, I'm invariably an opposition or enemy.I went back to my apartment. Atleast, she told me a vital part of what I wanted to hear. I needed to eat pizza so I made an order for two boxes."Did you go to see Owen?" Eli questioned."No, why wil
