"I know," Juan said quietly. Hr was trying to keep his voice steady but it seemed nearly impossible "He was brave. He protected me, just like he always does." Belle whispered, "I'm so sorry..." Her voice was shaking with guilt and sadness.Juan gently wiped away a tear that had slipped down her cheek. "Don't apologize," he said. "You didn't do this. Someone else is to blame. And I promise you, Belle, I'm going to find out who did this to you."She looked at him, her eyes filled with hope and pain. "And when I find them..." His voice became cold, and the anger was clear in his words. "They will regret ever drawing breath in this world. I swear it."Belle weakly squeezed his hand. "You promise?" she asked, her voice barely audible. But it was filled with a desperate need for assurance. "I promise," Juan replied.Juan leaned back in his chair, one hand running down his face in exhaustion. "You scared me, you know that?" he murmured. Belle gave a small, almost embarrassed laugh. "You

"Belle," Juan finally said after a few minutes of debating whether he should leave her to attend to business or not. "Something came up, I have to leave.""You just promised you'll stay," she pouted, opening her eyes to look up at him. "What do you mean you're leaving already.""A shipment got hijacked, it's worth millions of—""You're saying it's worth more than my life?""I'm not saying that," he sighed. He was annoyed but also grateful that the accident did not make Belle to lose her sense of self. "Plus you're are receiving treatment. You'll he fine. They'll schedule your for surgery to fix your bones and... I'll be there.""I want you here now,"Belle said. "Leaving will only add to my pain.""How?" Juan asked with a sigh. "I'm not throwing a brick at you.""Don't leave," Belle said, closing her eyes again. "If you leave... I'll...""You'll do what?" Juan asked with a raise of his eyebrows, wondering what threat she wanted to use. "Just don't go.""It's important, and I'll be bac

His mind was already racing, as he was thinking of a thousand plans already in just a few seconds, trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation.The anxiety was building up inside him, but he pushed it aside trying to be focused on what needed to be done. First, he had to gather some men who were able to fight. They had to act fast, with no time to waste. The clock was ticking, and with Giovanni's team was already outnumbered and suppressed by whoever the enemy team was, he needed his strongest men. "Dammit," he muttered to himself, his voice filled with frustration. He turned around, already heading back to Belle's room go check on her one last time before leaving. After hearing Giovanni's voice, he could not just send men in without his own supervision. He would not allow himself to be one of those coward Mafia bosses who will always put men ok the job and never fight themselves. Yes, he could not be everywhere at once and not everything needed his attention or for hi

After what seemed close to an eternity, mostly due to Juan's impatience and anxiety, they arrived there. The night by the bay was loud and dangerous. It was far from peaceful. The sound of gunshots echoed all around, loud like thunder in a storm. The flashes from the guns lit up the dark like small explosions. Juan jumped out of the vehicle, his boots hitting the wet ground hard. His coat flew behind him as he moved fast through the gunfight.The ground was slippery. Water from the sea mixed with blood, making it even more dangerous to walk or run. People were hiding behind big metal containers, trying not to get shot. Juan’s men, who he had called earlier for help, were already there. They were using the cargo for cover and firing back at the enemy without hesitation.Someone noticed Juan and yelled, “The boss is here!”Juan didn’t stop to ask questions. He pulled out his gun quickly, his eyes scanning the whole area. One of his men ran up to him, ducking behind things to avoid getti

Juan stood in the middle of the room for a while, not moving. His eyes were fixed on the dark window in front of him. The glass reflected his face. He looked tired, older than before. His thoughts were spinning in two directions. One part of him wanted to go see Belle. She needed care, maybe just someone to be there. The other part of him was thinking about the warehouse situation, which was serious and needed to be handled with strength and focus.He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He typed a short message to Hernandez:“Any progress?”Less than a minute later, a reply appeared on the screen.“They’re not talking. We’ve tried… everything.”Juan’s jaw tightened. He thought about going there himself. He knew what it would be like. Just another long night filled with tension and anger, and probably not much success. But then he remembered Belle.He cleaned up quickly. He took off his shirt and looked at the scrape on his side. It wasn’t very deep, but it burned. He cle

Juan looked toward Belle’s hospital room one last time. The small window on the door gave him a glimpse of the soft light inside. Then he lowered his eyes to the message on his phone again. His stomach turned uncomfortably. This wasn’t just stress. This felt like betrayal.Someone close to him had talked. Someone he trusted. Someone who was supposed to have his back had opened their mouth and said too much.He stood there in silence for a moment, trying to calm the anger bubbling inside him. He took a slow, steady breath and typed back a reply:“I’m on my way. Don’t let them talk to anyone else.”After hitting send, he slipped the phone back into his pocket. He walked away from the wall. Belle would probably fall asleep soon. She needed rest and he needed to sort out his business. He could make it to the warehouse in twenty minutes.Someone had betrayed him and he needed to find out who before more damage was done.*+*+*+*+*+*+*Juan drove alone to the warehouse.The road ahead of hi

Danny’s eyes were wide. Sweat poured down his face. He didn’t say anything at first.Then finally, he whispered: “We didn’t… get names. We were given directions.”Juan’s eyes narrowed. “Directions?”Danny nodded slowly, groaning in pain. “Someone trained us. Not military training, but enough to move clean. He wore a mask. His voice was changed. We only saw him twice. Never got a clear look.”“So he wasn’t one of mine?”“No,” Danny said, breathing hard. “But he knew stuff. He knew when your guys were working. Which crates to touch. Which to leave alone.”Juan looked at him closely. “That’s inside knowledge.”Danny nodded weakly. “He knew what was coming in and out. He knew the schedules. The routes. The exacrnt number of crates— three-forty-five. Sixteen were to be left untouched by us. Someone connected to your supply chain. Someone who handles the goods.”Juan stood slowly, his mind racing. His eyes went distant, focused on nothing for a second. There was nothing he hated more than b

A few minutes later, Enrique stepped into the warehouse. Juan's eyes snapped towards him. "Where were you? I was told you left a few hours before the raid.""Raid?" It was either Enrique was a good actor or he was genuinely surprised that there was a raid. "Was that why Hernandez asked me to come in? Where's Giovanni, he said he could handle the rest and I was free to go because my wife was in Labour. What are we doing to recover the lost goods?""It's been sorted," Juan said through gritted teeth. He walked back into the room he was before with Danny, Giovanni and Hernandez. He took a slow, deep breath and walked toward Giovanni.“You really have the guts to sit there, look me in the eyes, and act like you didn’t know what was going on?” Juan’s voice was calm, but sharp like a knife. He was trying hard to stay in control, to not lose his temper. But the longer Giovanni stayed quiet, the more angry Juan became.Giovanni’s throat was dry as he swallowed. He tried to speak. “I didn’t—”

"You're right," Juan responded with a sigh. His jaw tightened ever so slightly and we walked off. She was indeed right and it had taken him a lot to admit that. The real reason he had even done that wa because he was too mentally exhausted to argue. Then he stopped in his tracks and turned to face her. "What were you going to ask me?""Never mind about that," she said with a right smile and began walking away, but of course, her short legs could only take her so far and it wasn't up to a second Juan was grabbing her by the waist, turning her body to face him. "Talk to me mio Angelo," he said in a low murmur that seemed more like a rumble out of his chest."N-nothing," she stammered, avoiding his eyes. She felt so small in his muscular arms. Juan smiled at his petite she was. "You sure about that?""It's something that can wait," she said, swallowing hard. "Seems like you have pressing matters to attend to and I would not want this to...""I always have your time. Business can wait

“What do you mean fired?” Juan asked. His voice was full of disbelief. He walked back and forth across his office, his steps quick and restless. His fingers moved nervously, as if he didn’t know what to do with them. He was clearly holding back anger.Dominic’s voice came clearly from the speakerphone. He sounded calm, like this wasn’t a big deal to him. “I got rid of him. I fired him.”Juan stopped for a second, then shook his head. “Why? What did he do?”“He sold the layout of my estate,” Dominic said simply. “Gave it to one of my rivals.”Juan let out a sharp breath, part surprise and part anger. “Honestly, I’m shocked you didn’t just kill him.”There was a low chuckle on the other end of the line. “Yeah, me too,” Dominic admitted. “Should’ve just taken him out.”There was a pause. Then Dominic asked, “So tell me… what’s going on with him now? Why are you asking about Marco?”Juan’s eyes narrowed. “That’s none of your business.”“Oh come on,” Dominic said. “Don’t you think your old

“What have you got?” he asked after a moment, his eyes shifting over to look at Hernandez. Hernandez didn’t hesitate. “The gardener. The man who was seen walking toward Belle’s car on the day of the crash. We identified him. His name is Marco Bellini.” Juan’s forehead wrinkled, confused. “Bellini?” “Yes,” Hernandez said with a nod. “The tech team ran the security footage through facial recognition. The footage wasn’t perfect—the car was parked near a blind spot—but one of the cameras caught him from a side angle. It was quick, but clear enough. We see him walking near the back gate just a few minutes before the crash happened.” Hernandez swiped through a few images and files on his phone, and turned the screen toward Juan. “Look. Right here.” Juan took the device and squinted at the screen. The image was blurry, but a man was definitely there. “That’s him?” “Yes. It’s a positive ID. His name is Marco Bellini. He’s Italian. Looks to be in his mid-thirties. He used to work for Domin

"No, we didn't," Juan said, shaking his head. Belle crossed her arms and bit the inside of her cheek. She stared hard at Juan, hurt clear in her eyes.“You used to act like I was the only one that mattered,” she said softly. “Like I was the only person you ever really looked at.”Juan let out a tired sigh. He rubbed his hand down his face like he was already done with the conversation.“You were the only girl I really cared about,” he said in an exasperated manner, “but it wasn’t anything deep, Belle.”She blinked. “Not deep?”He didn’t flinch. His voice wasn’t mean, just flat. He didn't want to hurt her but there was no nicer way to put it. “I mean, I never felt that way about you. Sure, we slept together. But it was just sex. I didn’t think you had feelings for me.”Belle’s face twitched like she was going to cry, but she quickly pulled herself together. She adjusted herself on the wheelchair, trying to blink back the tears. “And why the hell not?” she asked, raising her brows. J

"What?" Belle gasped, placing her left hand which was not affected in the accident on her chest. "What do you mean meticulously planned?""We have not been able to get proper footage, but we have Intel that says the truck driver that hit you waited till you got to the red light before driving, knowing that your brake was tampered with," Juan explained with a sigh. "And the only way your break would have been tampered with is bubs staff.""The only way they would have known what time you were leaving was by a staff as well," Hernandez said. "Why would they do that? I haven't offended anyone.'"Obviously to get to me... And distract me from something else.""And you didn't think to tell me?" She asked angrily. "You were in the fucken hospital Belle," Juan sighed. "And what were you going to do about that.""It doesn't matter, you should Have still told me.""We shouldn't be arguing," Hernandez cut in. "Rather we should be looking for s way forward.""Well then fire all the staff," Bel

The door didn’t open.“Arya—”“I’m fine,” her voice said from inside the bathroom. It sounded calm but it didn’t feel real.Juan sighed and ran a hand through his head in frustration. Low-key, he knew that this was going to be the case. “Can you open the door?”“I said I’m fine," she replied in a sharp tone, but her voice didn't sound fine at all. He paused. He rested his hand flat on the door. “I didn’t know Belle would say something like that. I wasn’t ready for it—”“Neither was I,” Arya said. Her voice was quieter now. “You don’t have to explain. You don’t owe me anything, Juan.”Her words hurt him.“That’s not how I see it—”“You didn’t ask me to come here,” she said. “You used your money to take me away from one prison, and now I’m in another one. I’m not angry at you. I’m just tired.”Juan didn’t answer right away. What could he say? Everything she said was true. He had taken her from a bad place. But he didn’t give her freedom. Not really. She hadn’t had a choice.“I’m sorry,

Arya blinked, the words hitting her hard, but she didn’t let it show. She set the tray down slowly on a table near the door and stepped back.“I’ll be in my room,” she said softly. “If anyone needs me.”Then she turned and walked inside without another word.Juan stood still for a second, watching her disappear through the doorway. Then he turned to Belle, his face tight with anger.“What the hell was that?” he asked.Belle crossed her arms. “I’m sorry. Am I not allowed to have feelings about the woman playing house in your mansion?”Juan stepped closer. “She’s not playing anything. She lives here. And unlike you, she doesn’t treat people like they’re beneath her.”“She’s not your equal,” Belle said, her voice sharp. “She’s a stray. One you felt sorry for.”Juan’s eyes narrowed. “Say that again.”Belle paused, then looked away. “She irritates me. I don’t like the way she looks at you. Like she owns a piece of you.”Juan didn’t back down. “She belongs here. You don’t get to question th

Juan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Let’s not pretend we’re friends.”Dominic laughed lightly. “Come on. We’ve shared worse words and better drinks. What’s the occasion? Calling to ask if I got your little payment for the girl you 'stole’ from me?”“It’s not stealing if I paid you.”Dominic’s voice dropped a little and his yone was more mocking. “Took you long enough. She would’ve earned that money back in four years, maybe less. But sure. Since you paid, maybe I’ll leave her alone. Or maybe not.”“I didn’t call to argue about her,” he said. “I want to know if you had anything to do with my shipment being almost taken.”Dominic chuckled again. “What shipment?” he asked. Juan was not sure if he was playing dumb or completely innocent. “I didn’t know you had one. But now that I do, I’m a little disappointed. If it had been me, I’d have taken the whole thing and left you a note.”Juan’s blood ran cold.“So it wasn’t you?”“No,” Dominic said simply. “But now I almost wish it was. You’r

He walked toward the hallway, his back to her.Arya sat alone at the kitchen island, staring at the plate in front of her. She picked up her fork again and poked at her food. Then she muttered under her breath, "Sit on my face, he says. Taint my soul. Idiot."But despite herself, she smiled.And for the first time in a long while, it felt real.*+*+*+*+*+*+*+Juan stepped out of the hospital room quietly, the soft sound of beeping machines echoing. After her had left Arya in the dining, the freshened up and then decided to check on Belle. Her surgery had been scheduled to take place already and she had gone through it. He paused for a second, looking over at the nurses’ station down the hall, then let his eyes drift toward the long, empty corridor. Everything was quiet and peaceful but his mind was far from calm.Inside the room, Belle was still sleeping as she had just come out fo surgery. He’d been there since early morning, barely stepping away from her side. But now, he needed s
