Kierra Hail had already lost everything—her child, her marriage, her dignity. Betrayed by the man she once loved, cast aside for his mistress, and left to rot as he stripped her of everything she owned. But the cruelest blow? Her daughter’s death, a tragedy her husband could have prevented if he had only chosen her life over his secret lover’s son. Now, broken and gasping for one last chance at survival, Kierra dials a number she swore she’d never use. A man who calls her princess. A man who doesn’t forgive. A man who owns the underworld. Sebastian Novair—heir to the infamous Noir de Costas Syndicates and a merciless mafia king with blood on his hands and fire in his veins. Years ago, Kierra saved him. Now, he’s back to collect his debt—with interest. He offers her power, vengeance, and the sweet taste of retribution. But making a deal with the devil has its price… and he’s more than willing to make her pay in ways she never imagined. He’ll ruin her enemies. He’ll break her chains. And he’ll claim what’s always been his— her.
View MoreTonight was my first operation.I was surprised to see Sebastian already in the SUV, dressed in a black tuxedo, his usual coat draped over his shoulders."You look posh," I teased as I slid into the car."And you look dangerous."I wore a simple black dress that hugged the curves of my body. My makeup was light, and my hair was styled in a bun, with a few strands falling to one side to conceal my earpiece. On my thigh, hidden just behind the slit of my dress, was a 38 Colt revolver. In my luxurious purse lay a folded Black Talon serrated knife.I wasn't just dangerous.I was destruction herself.And Sebastian?He was death itself.Wherever he went, life fled."You remember what to do?""Take out Jackal on the balcony, where he gets sniped.""And if the sniper misses?""I'll finish him off myself."He nodded, "Good girl."I allowed myself a small smile as I settled into the seat. "A question?""Hm?""Are they going to be there?""Why do you think I even invited you?"My heart clenched.
Sebastian Novair looked at me with his midnight blue eyes, inspecting my frail body with a keen, hungry gaze. A few moments later, his men surrounded me and bent down to pick me up.Sebastian hovered his hand, sending them away. "I'll handle it."I felt my weight lifted off the ground and the feeling of Sebastian's sturdy chest against my head. He caressed my hair, brushing them off my face."You're an eyesore," he whispered to me."Shut up..."He chuckled for a moment as he brought me into his car. Within minutes, I was transported into a foreign place and into a new bed. His maidsbrought me a feast into my room, but I struggled to finish it with my appetite."Fetch her some clothes.""N...No need. I'm going home after this anyway."Sebastian crossed his legs. He was sitting near the entrance of my room, watching me like an owl."Home? And where's that?"I lowered my head. By now, Damian would have thrown my things away already.The maids arrived with new garments. As they stripped
On the day of Lily’s funeral, countless citizens came to pay their respects. I sat in the corner, unnoticed, as all sympathy was directed toward Damian. No one acknowledged my grief.When the ceremony ended, Damian arrived—with Selene and their son, Daryl.Seeing him laugh, as if Lily hadn’t just died, made my blood boil. It had only been a week, yet they were already parading in the media, playing happy family in the park. Meanwhile, I was drowning in misery.“Where have you been?” I asked and the moment they saw me, their smiles vanished.“We came to pay our respects—”“I wasn’t talking to you,” I snapped at Selene. Damian’s glare sharpened.“Are you seriously going to be rude to guests?”“And are you seriously going to keep screwing around while our daughter is buried, waiting for you to come?!” I screamed, unable to hold back my rage. I then pointed at Lily’s grave. “She is buried six feet underground and you never came once to see her! Are you even her father?!”“You’re stressed…
“Son?” I confronted Damian in front of the entire crowd. “What is the meaning of this?”Damian looked at Selene in horror, as if this was the first time he’d heard of it.“Don’t play dumb, Damian,” I seethed. “You had sex with Selene?”Whispers rippled through the onlookers.“You’re making a scene—” Damian snapped, grabbing my arm tightly.“Our daughter is dying,” I yanked my arm free. “We’ll talk about this later—”“No! We’re talking about it now.” Selene clung to Damian’s suit like a madwoman. “Please, Damian..! He’s our son! I only hid him to protect him. Weren’t you supposed to marry me?”Shock rippled through the crowd.“She was the first woman? Then what about Madam Kierra?”“A woman going after an engaged man? What a whore!”I felt my throat run dry.I shut my eyes, praying that Damian was going to justify that all of this was a mistake. But who am I kidding?My husband never loved me.“She’s right,” Damian shoved me aside coldly. “I was never meant to marry you, Kierra. You t
I saw my daughter get killed before my eyes, but my husband did not believe me. What broke me more was the fact that the person who took her away from me was no other than his mistress’ child.It was then that I knew my life would turn upside down.A few minutes before it happened, Lily stood beside me, clutching my fingers with her tiny hand as we watched the hill. But the moment I blinked, she was nowhere to be seen.She hadn’t tripped. She hadn’t stumbled.She was pushed.I saw it. I saw him do it.A kid… someone I did not recognize, pushed her off the railing and sent her plummeting down the rocky, slope that led directly into a ditch. My heartbeat halted when the boy’s smirk grew the instant Lily’s small body hit the stony ground.I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe.Then, my entire soul shattered."Lily!" My scream tore through the grand hall as I ran to the porch, watching my daughter roll down the rocky hill below. Her head snapped back, her little arms twitched—then she went t
