The Don’s Indebted Stripper 79. SURRENDER
OWEN"You must either be a damn fool or a man with a death wish." I leaned back in my chair, my eyes locked on Joan Castellanos as I made myself comfortable. "I wonder what should be written on your gravestone ‘Here lies Joan Castellanos, unbelievably stupid, suicidally bold, and just dumb enough to walk into the lion’s den with a smile on his face’?"I smirked. "Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?"He chuckled, waving me off like this was a casual conversation over drinks. "Oh, come on now, there is no need for that."With an exaggerated sigh, he glanced around at the army of guns pointed at his skull. "Honestly, I don’t know why your men are so tense. I am just another customer at the casino, aren’t I?"Marco let out a scoff, folding his arms. His patience was running out. "We don’t have all goddamn day. Start talking." Marco saidJoan’s eyes flicked to him, and just like that, that slow, sadistic grin spread across his face.Cocky bastard."No need to interfere, little pupp

MAE“Liam, where the fuck are you?"I sent the message again. Probably the thousandth one in the past few days. No response. Nothing. At this point, I had to ask myself, was he dead? Or was something bigger at play here, something I wasn’t seeing?I made it back to Casa Eleganza after wrapping up my conversation with Don Joan Castellanos. My mind was already running through the next steps, but right now, all I wanted was to get to my room. No distractions, no unwanted interactions.But luck was never really on my side.As I turned a corner, moving fast, I slammed straight into someone.Not just anyone.Someone whose presence alone made my blood run cold. Someone I would rather put six feet under than breathe the same air as.Amelia.I was too focused on my phone to notice her standing in my way."You." She snapped. When I looked up, her eyes were filled with barely contained anger. "Would it kill you to watch where you're going?"I exhaled slowly, keeping my cool. "Sorry." I stepped a

MAEI should shove him off. Tell him he is out of his damn mind. Remind him he is about to get married and i am not some side piece he can play with when it suits him.But I don’t.Because the second his lips crash into mine, every ounce of logic burns to ash.The kiss is rough, desperate, like he has been starving for this, for me. His hold on my waist tightens, pulling me flush against him, no space, no air, just heat. His body is solid, hard muscle pressing into mine, and I can already feel just how much he wants this. Wants me.His tongue slides into my mouth, taking control, demanding submission. I give as good as I get, but he is relentless, dominating every inch of me, making it clear, he is not here to play. His hands roam, sliding down my back, gripping my thigh as he pins me against the wall. A sharp inhale escapes me, and he smirks against my lips like he just won a battle I didn’t even know we were fighting.This is dangerous. This is reckless.And still, I don’t stop

OWEN“Owen! I am talking to you. Stop walking away this instant!”Amelia’s voice grated on my nerves, but I didn’t slow down. If she thought barking orders at me would make me listen, she didn’t know who the hell she was dealing with.“Owen, stop right there!” she yelled again, this time managing to catch up.The second her hand wrapped around my arm, I stopped. Not because she told me to, because I was already one second away from snapping. I turned to face her, and there she was, furious, her arms crossed, her eyes burning with accusation.“What do you think you are doing?” she demanded, like she had any control over me.I smirked, but I didn’t answer. I let her feel the weight of my silence, let it get under her skin.“My father gave us an exclusive invite to one of the most private islands for some alone time, and you thought it was a good idea to bring your little bitch along?”She was trying to provoke me, but I wasn’t that easy to shake. Instead, I just watched her. Let her ta

MAEI was pissed. The kind of pissed that made my blood run hot and my patience run thin.Why the fuck couldn’t he just stay out of my way? Owen had a habit of showing up when I least needed him, always pushing, always getting under my skin. And the worst part? He fucking loved it.It didn’t matter if I was on edge, if I was barely holding it together. As long as he got what he wanted, nothing else existed. And to top it all off, the jerk didn’t even see me as anything more than his favorite little plaything.Fucking prick.I reached into my bag, searching for my room key, but it wasn’t there. I knocked on the door, but my roommate wasn’t around. Maybe I should call Eli, I just have left the key inside.That’s when it hit me.My phone.Where the fuck was my phone? My stomach dropped as soon as I realised. Owen’s car. I left it in his damn car.This was bad. Real bad.If he got his hands on it, if he saw something he shouldn’t—I didn’t waste another second. I dropped my bag and took o

MAEI sat into the seat at the far back, keeping my head low. Out of sight, out of mind, that was the plan.Leaning against the headrest, I ready to shut out the noise and the unwanted company on this damn trip.But, of course, peace was too much to ask for.I felt movement in the seat beside me. I didn’t have to look to know who it was. I could already feel him, the constant annoyance coming off him like a damn furnace."You..." My voice was filled with slight surprise as my eyes focused on Marco. Of all people to sit next to me.He leaned back, completely at ease, like he hadn’t just ruined my attempt of being alone. "Relax. I am not thrilled about sitting next to you either, but the boss wants me here." He shot me a glance, then smirked. "So let us do each other a favor, pretend I don’t exist."Like that was possible. Marco didn’t just exist, he loomed.His hatred for me was too powerful , the kind I couldn’t ignore, no matter how badly I wanted to. And the way he looked at me?

MAE I ran a hand through my hair, staring down at my suitcases like they held some kind of hidden message.What the hell was Owen planning? A surprise, he said. Yeah, well, surprises in my world usually meant trouble. And the last thing I needed was to walk into something I wasn’t prepared for.I sighed, pushing those thoughts aside as I unzipped one of the suitcase.My fingers touched a nice fabric, and I pulled out a black dress, elegant, vintage and dangerous in the way only real power looked. I couldn’t help but smile looking at it. If Owen picked this out, I had to admit, the guy had good taste.I checked the time. I was late, I needed to move fast.I slipped into the dress, added some makeup, and fastened the diamond jewelry that came with the dress. Were these real diamonds? Knowing Owen, they probably were.By the time I was done, I barely recognized myself. The dress hugged every curve, the diamonds caught the light just right, and for a second, I almost forgot about the me

MAE “Oh my God…” I tried to keep my cool, but the surprise was too much. I glanced around, before my eyes went back to Joan Castellanos. “What the hell are you doing here?”“Can’t a man take a little break?” His voice was calm, like he didn’t have a care in the world. “Where better than the city of peace for a vacation?”So, this is where Mr. Joan decided to go on a vacation? Interesting. But why here? And why at the same damn time as Owen Powers? Did he know the guy would be here, or was this just a coincidence?“But what if…?” I hesitated. “What if Owen Powers, or one of his goons, especially Marco, sees us dancing? That is gonna stir up trouble. Marco’s been watching me like a hawk.”He shrugged, his calm demeanor never leaving. “You could barely recognize me behind this mask. Relax, nothing to worry about.”I narrowed my eyes at him, still feeling very uncomfortable and unsure. “So, about this dress…” he gestured to the outfit, glancing down at it. “Owen Powers buy it for you?”

The Don’s Indebted Stripper 100. FOCUS NOW!
OWENI was not supposed to be in Casa Eleganza tonight, but then Marco called and told me he was looking for her.Mae Rivera.Apparently, Carter had caught her making a sneaky phone call and before he could get evidence, she ended the call and threatened to lie against him if he tried to expose her. She ran off, too. Not that I fully trusted this Carter or a guy, but this awfully sounded like something that woman can do; especially after all she had been through lately.I could have left Marco to find her and teach her a lesson… or even any of my snipers could do that, but I had a surprise for her, so I could not do that.As I drove, I tried to shake off the nasty feelings I had that kept screaming in my ear about the fact that she had gone through so much. She should have thought of that before crossing me. I do worse to others, I thought. Why was it a bloody big deal with her? I did not have an answer to that, of course.Finally, after what seemed like years, I parked my car in fron
The Don’s Indebted Stripper 99. SCENES
MAEThe text came an hour later.OWEN: Come to the club. Now.No explanation. No details. Just an order.I stared at the message, my pulse already picking up. He didn’t use words like that with me—not unless something was wrong.I grabbed my jacket and slipped out of my apartment, moving fast. The city blurred past as I caught a cab, my mind racing the entire way.Did Joan make a move?Did Eric?Was I already too late?By the time I reached the club, the bouncer barely spared me a glance before stepping aside. I pushed through the main floor, ignoring the pounding music and the lingering stares as I headed straight for the back offices.Owen was waiting.He stood behind his desk, his back to the door, one hand braced against the edge. He didn’t turn when I entered, didn’t acknowledge me right away.But the tension in the room was suffocating.I closed the door behind me. “What happened?”Owen’s head lifted slightly, but he still didn’t look at me. “Eric met with Javier Castelleno.”A
The Don’s Indebted Stripper 98. FOR YOU
OWENI had watched Mae leave my car that night, her frustration hanging in the air like cigarette smoke. She hadn’t looked back.I should’ve let it go. Should’ve turned the key in the ignition and driven off, let her work through her anger alone.But I didn’t.Instead, I sat there, gripping the steering wheel, jaw locked so tight it ached.She wanted me to give in. To cross that invisible line we’d been toeing for weeks. And fuck, I almost had.Mae had no idea what kind of self-control it took to pull away. To tell her to go home when all I wanted was to drag her into my lap and kiss her until she forgot about Joan, about Eric, about the game she was playing with fire.But I wasn’t a man who made decisions based on want.I made them based on survival.And right now, Mae’s survival depended on her staying out of this mess.Which meant keeping my hands off her.At least for now.Tonight, I pulled out of the alley, steering the car toward the warehouse. Scar and Marco were already waitin
The Don’s Indebted Stripper 97. A CHOICE TO MAKE
MAEThe door slammed shut behind me, and I stood in the alley for a moment, breathing in the cold night air. My hands clenched at my sides, nails pressing into my palms. I should’ve felt relieved. I’d walked away. I had my space.So why did I feel like I was suffocating?I forced myself to move, stepping out onto the sidewalk. The city hummed around me—cars passing, voices carrying through the night. Normal life, oblivious to the storm raging inside me.I needed a drink.And I needed a plan.Eric’s name sat heavy in my mind. If Joan truly believed he was a traitor, then this wasn’t just a warning. It was a test. One I couldn’t afford to fail.But Owen had given me his answer.You don’t touch him.That was easy for him to say. He wasn’t the one standing in front of Joan, balancing on a knife’s edge, trying to prove she belonged. I’d spent weeks playing my part, earning trust. Now, one wrong move could rip everything apart.And Owen expected me to stand back and do nothing?I exhaled sh
The Don’s Indebted Stripper 96. PRETENSE
MAE"You really do not look okay. Are you sure you can still work?" Eli asked me, smacking his lips after applying lipgloss."I have to." I simply replied, going across the room to pick up more stuff. I was really tired—both mentally and emotionally, but I knew I would just be calling more punishment to myself if I simply laid down here."How? Scar is really nice. I mean, everyone here is. I do not feel like anyone here is being forced to do anything. I like the fact that everything is so transparent, even." He went on, and I almost scoffed out loud.He sounded like an excited little kid. He had not the slightest idea of what was actually going on, and though it was dangerous for him, it was a little cute. Better to be oblivious than be traumatized like I was.I got ready quicker, then hurried off to the stage. I did not shut my eyes throughout my performance, because every single time I did, I saw her. I had my eyes wide open as I danced, willing the images to go away.The moment I s
The Don’s Indebted Stripper 95. HESITATION
MAEI barely made it up the stairs to my apartment before I let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding.My body still felt wired, every nerve on edge. Owen’s voice echoed in my head.I shouldn’t have wanted to go back and see if he’d really lose control.I shoved the thought away, locked my door, and leaned against it. I needed to focus. I had bigger problems than the way Owen made my skin feel too tight. That could be handled later.Joan wanted Eric dead.Tomorrow, I’d have to walk into a job knowing I was either going to betray the man who trusted me or end up dead myself. And no matter which way I spun it, I couldn’t see a way out.I dropped onto my bed and pulled out my phone.No messages. No calls.I didn’t know why I thought he’d check in. He’d told me to go home. Told me to sleep. Like it was that easy.I tossed my phone aside and squeezed my eyes shut.Maybe, if I tried hard enough, I could pretend his hands hadn’t felt so damn good on me.Maybe I could pretend I had

MAE"Your father is in the backseat of my car. Tonight, you will either tell me what's going on with you, or he takes a bullet to his head. I'll keep killing everyone you love until you decide if this secret you are keeping from me is really worth losing so much." Owen whispered, just as his big hand released my ass, going up to my hip instead.I pushed his hands off me completely, shock taking over my features. "Wait. What did you just say?""The exact same thing you heard. Get dressed and come with me."I did not have to be told twice. I rushed into the closet and just threw on a shirt like nightgown that stopped just above my knees then some lace panties.I had just stepped out of the closet to meet Owen leaning by the door when he thundered,"Get back inside and wear something else. I did not ask you to come with me so you can strip for your father." I opened my mouth and closed it like a fish, then looked around in search of anything I could just throw on."But it's covered…" I
The Don’s Indebted Stripper 93. UNRESOLVED WANT
MAEI didn’t let myself think until I was back in the car.Amelia drove in silence, her grip tight on the wheel, knuckles white. She hadn’t said a word since we left Joan’s estate. Maybe she was waiting to see how I’d react. Maybe she was testing me just as much as Joan was.I didn’t give her anything.Eric.The name burned in my head.He was one of Owen’s men—trusted, loyal, someone who had been by his side for years. If Joan had put him on that list, it meant one of two things. Either Eric was playing both sides, or Joan only thought he was.Either way, this was a problem.A big one.And Owen needed to know.I reached into my jacket pocket, fingers brushing against the earpiece Owen had given me. A reminder of his voice, the way he had told me to be careful. I wanted to use it, to hear him tell me he had a plan, that he already knew, that he would fix this before I had to.But I couldn’t.Not here. Not now.Amelia’s sharp eyes flickered to me. “You alright?”I nodded once. “Yeah.”S
The Don’s Indebted Stripper 92. TRUST… TRUST WHO?
MAEThe moment I stepped out of the car, the air felt different.Colder. Heavier.Amelia stood by the entrance, her arms crossed, face blank. No warmth, no hesitation—just business. She barely looked at me before turning on her heel. “Follow me.”I did.My pulse was steady, but my hands weren’t. I curled my fingers into fists to stop them from shaking. Owen’s words played over in my head. If anything feels off—get out.I didn’t plan on getting out. Not yet.We walked through a back entrance, the air thick with cigarette smoke. Joan’s men were everywhere. Some played cards. Others leaned against the walls, watching me like I was already a ghost.I kept my head high, my steps even. Fear would get me killed here.We reached the main hall. Joan was sitting at the center table, a glass of whiskey in one hand, a knife in the other. He was carving something into the wood, deep, slow strokes. He didn’t look up.“You’re late,” he said.Amelia stiffened beside me. “Traffic.”Joan finally glance
