“What have you done?”

A low voice laced with disdain asked.

“What have you done Dimitri?!”

Dimitri ignored the accusation, his movements deliberate as he approached the lifeless body sprawled across the bedroom floor. He knelt beside her, his dark eyes fixed on her pale face. With precision, he placed two fingers on her neck, his jaw tensing as he confirmed the truth.

The woman kneeling beside Ava's body, her red hair a stark contrast to Ava's limp form, looked up at Dimitri with tears and venom in her eyes. “You killed her! You monster! You should have sent her back to us if you didn’t want her!”

Dimitri rose to his feet, his expression unreadable. He tilted his head, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “I should?” His gaze locked onto Ava’s mother, her features a haunting echo of her daughter’s.

“Return my daughter to me this instant!” Mrs. Bianchi begged, her voice cracking.

Dimitri’s response was a cold, calculated smile, his eyes glinting with a hint of menace. “The last time I checked, you forcefully thrust her into this world despite my disapproval.”

“I… I…” Mrs Bianchi stammered before shaking her head wildly. “I can't accept this. I can't. We will never accept this.”

With that, she stood up, her dead daughter's head fell on the cold floor as she walked to the bed to grab her purse all the while shaking her head as if in denial.

“My beloved daughter won't die in vain. She won't.”

She took her mobile phone and dialed her husband. Dimitri didn't stay behind to listen to her rantings and instead went back to his office.

When he got there, his secretary Mara was already waiting.

“What happened?” Mara asked as soon as she saw her boss step into the opulent office.

“Ava is dead. Check the cameras.”

Mara's light brown eyes widened, her voice barely above a whisper. “Oh God, what happened?” She hesitated, her gaze locked on Dimitri. “No woman should be subjected to the gruesome fate of dying on her wedding day.”

“Let me know after checking it.” Dimitri said dismissively and walked towards his huge polished desk. He sat on a polished high-backed leather chair behind the desk.

Basically, today was supposed to be his wedding day even though it was against his wish. However, his supposed wife was found dead in her bedroom that same day and truth be told, he was somehow at fault and he knew he must have been one of the deciding factor of the murder or suicide.

He sighed and focused his attention on the files on his table. Then, he drew one of them closer and decided to start working on it.

However, he was interrupted by the loud slam of his door and an angry Mr Bianchi with black hair and some whites trutted in.

“You!” He pointed his index finger at him as he walked towards his table. “You killed my daughter!” He slammed his fists on the table.

Dimitri gazed up lazily, as he dropped his pen. At that moment, Mara rushed in panicking.

“I'm so sorry Mr Santini, I tried to stop him—”

Dimitri waved her off and shifted his gaze back to Mr Bianchi. “I didn't kill my wife.” He said mockingly. “But if I had, would it surprise you?”

Mr Bianchi’s face reddened, his fists clenched. “You are a monster!”

“Now, if you could please excuse me before your chance runs out and you will follow your beloved daughter but with a bullet through your head.”

Mara intervened, her voice shaky as she smoothed her palm on her black straight skirt nervously. “That's enough Mr Bianchi. Please leave before this escalates.”

“You will repeat that at the court you monster. I'm assuring you that. The odds are stacked against you.”

With that, Mr Bianchi rushed out of Dimitri's office.

As Mr Bianchi departed, Dimitri's gaze lingered on the door, his expression unreadable. Mara's nervous glance didn't escape his notice.

“Sir?” Mara ventured, her voice laced with concern. “Perhaps, it's wise to—”

“Not now.” Dimitri interrupted and stood up.

  • Dangerously Yours    1. The judge's dilemma

    ~VINCENT~“Maybe I'm the problem…”Vincent muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on his cock which continued to sleep limply between his legs. He sighed and shifted his gaze upward to the sight before him.Under the dim light of the VIP lounge, he continued to watch as the stripper he'd specially hired slid her slender hands down the pole in the center of the room, her long hair whipping around her face. He watched as her hips swayed. Her legs extended as she performed a slow sensual dance while her eyes were locked on his. But that's it, his body didn't react to the supposed delicious sight before him and his cock continued to sleep limply. Vincent is frustrated and even under the dim light, he could see the doubt etched on the stripper's face who he'd insisted on not wearing a mask. He gave her a reassuring nod and the lady went back to her dance but now, with more vigor. Vincent leaned back on the chair and shut his eyes. Today is not only about trying to get himself aroused

    ~DIMITRI~“It's the judgment of this court that the prosecution has failed to meet its burden of proof. Therefore, the defendant is hereby acquitted of all charges.” Vincent said, and banged his gavel, signaling the end of the case.The court erupted into cheers and murmurs. Dimitri watched as the lawyer supporting Ava's parents’ gritted his teeth before his shoulders slumped in defeat.Dimitri continued to watch, trying to keep his lips from cracking into a smile. He continued to watch Vincent who's talking to an older man to his right and he felt jealousy course through his veins.Initially, he knew he was supposed to hate him. He's a judge. A fucking judge! One of the heads of the enforcer of the law. It was a judge that had set his stepmother free after she killed his mother in cold blood thereby ruining his chance of a happy childhood. A fucking judge! But… he couldn't even bring himself to hate this particular judge who sat at the other side of the courtroom, at least not after

    ~VINCENT~He knew he should have ran. He should have ran like the stripper did. But, fear is a bastard after all, it crippled him, and turned his brain into mayonnaise; mushy and soft, until he couldn't think for himself again. And as he stared back at himself in the mirror, his breath caught in his throat. “I… I…” He tried to say to no one in particular before sighing in defeat as he ran his hands through his golden blonde hair. His blue-green eyes stared back at him with equal intensity. A shiver ran down his spine when his thought ran back to what Dimitri had mouthed that morning. And right at that moment, Vincent knew he's doomed.Ever since that incident a week ago when he had a man's cock in his mouth for the first time, when he had a man rub his cock for the first time, he just knew it, he didn't need someone to tell him that. Vincent had acted oblivious to his feelings for so long but not until Dimitri breached his walls like a thief breaching a house. He gave himself a last

  • Dangerously Yours    4. Time to visit his new prey

    ~VINCENT~ As Vincent entered the grand dining room, the soft glow of candelabras and the aroma of roasted cuisine and salad enveloped him. His parents, adorned in elegant attire, sat at the head and foot of the table, respectively. Elora, dressed in a stunning red gown, sat to his mother's right. "Ah, Vincent, darling!" His mother, Isabella's red tinted lips stretched into a warm smile as she rushed to hug him, "We've missed you so much." Vincent forced a smile, feeling a pang of guilt. "Mother, Father, sorry I've been busy." His father, Reginald, nodded curtly. "We understand, son. But family is important. We need to catch up." Isabella and Reginald had been childless. This further made them consider adoption, and fortunately, they saw Vincent as a sweet boy and decided to adopt him, saving him from the molestations from the orphanage’s home caretaker. Vincent took his seat beside Elora, who placed a gentle hand on his arm. He didn't respond, his body stiffening. He's unsure h

    ~VINCENT~ Even the night air blowing through the open windows couldn't wade off the agony in his heart. It only blew his face and his golden hair but deep inside, he remained hollow like a deep dark hole which sunlight and air couldn't enter. To Vincent, today is a regular occurrence. And to be honest, he had thought that with time, he would get used to feeling like a disappointment. But as time passed, the sting caused by his father continuously escalated and today… just today… it stung him more than he could imagine. “Men don't cry.” “Men don't cry.” He continued to repeat the three words which his father had ingrained into him since he was a young lad like a mantra. Although a week had passed since he learnt of that part of himself, today was when he decided to check it out. Like a coward, he had acted oblivious and when he barely had a taste, even if it's a sinful taste, it just had to be snatched. A bitter chuckle escaped his lips as he pulled up at the garage of his

    ~VINCENT~ ‘Chaos’ would be an understatement of the century to describe this situation and right at that moment, Vincent knew he was doomed again. He wished the ground could just open up and swallow him. Two pairs of eyes; one with surprise and one with amusement, are fixed on him while he is trying to keep the sweat from trailing down his forehead. After a moment passed, he finally decided to break the silence. “E…elo—” “What's going on, Vince?” Elora asked in suspicion. “Who's he?” Vincent, who'd always been a bad liar stammered, “A–a friend.” Dimitri's brows shot up in amusement. “A friend?” Elora slid past Dimitri, coming to stand between the two men and repeated. “Who's he Vincent?” “I said he's a friend.” Vincent grumbled, dipped his hand into his pocket and his gaze shot to Dimitri. “And you, disrespectfully get the fuck off.” Vincent watched, trying not to gulp when he gave him a smirk and his broad back disappeared. He moved his gaze back to Elora who's still glaring

  • Dangerously Yours    7. A year to comply

    ~Dimitri~ Since his youth, he'd learnt to stop wishing for things, because they won’t come true. He grew up and made things happen on his own. So knowing that, how come he found himself staring at the house he'd just stepped out from, wishing that what's happening behind the closed door is not what he's thinking. Dimitri showed no reaction. His face didn't give away the chaos on his mind as he leaned against his car opposite Vincent's house. He waited, and waited and each minute moved agonisingly slow until the door opened and a disheveled Elora descended the stairs, huffing, and using her hands to smoothen her hair. When she reached the feet of the stairs, her gaze moved to the man leaning on a car across the street. Her eyes widened before she clenched her teeth and marched towards him seething. “You! Who are you?” Dimitri raised an elegant eyebrow, his lips twitching as he moved his hand from under his chin and dipped it into his pocket. “You don't want to know.” He stated.

    ~Dimitri~ Maybe he's not thinking rationally or this is probably the most rational thing to do. But he found himself opposite Vincent's apartment again. He wanted to turn and speed back to the penthouse but he shook his head. Being lonely had done more harm than good to him and he knew he could use a company right now. So, shutting all his ‘maybes’ away at a deep corner of his mind,he ascended the stairs and tried to turn the knob but it's locked. He shook his head and knocked. He waited but no response. He knocked again but it's as if there's no soul in the house. Even the lights are off. He turned back, his eyes fixed on his car. That's when he heard it; the sound of the door opening. He hurriedly turns back and he's met with a sight he least expected; Vincent stood before him, staring at him in bewilderment. He's naked from the chest and a small towel is draped on his neck while another towel hangs snugly around his waist. His blonde hair stuck to his forehead and droplets o

  • Dangerously Yours    83. Selena Cargill -1

    ~ DIMITRI ~The past few days had been a blur. And Dimitri couldn't help but pretend. Not that he cared about people's opinion but for Grandpa Santini whose health was visibly declining, he pretended that he cared. That he cared about Ivan and Mara being locked up.That day, news about them being charged to court finally got to them. They'd been given fifteen years imprisonment each. That was when he finally had peace. Fifteen years of planning.He whispered to himself as he adjusted his jacket in the mirror. Now, he's finally done pretending.When he was done dressing, he went for breakfast. And as he dabbed his lips with the napkin, he cleared his throat,“I'm taking my leave.” He said, loud enough for everyone to hear. The few days where Mara and Ivan were waiting to be charged to court had turned to mourning for the Santinis. No one was allowed to act in a certain way and there's even an untold rule of not going to work. Dimitri was tired. He could only imagine how his first im

    ~ DIMITRI ~The following day, Selena had woken up early and gave the maids orders. After that, she took her bath and dressed up before going to Grandpa Santini's wing of the mansion.The old man was already awake, sitting on his chair in front of the door to his balcony. He didn't turn before knowing that the person who'd entered his room was Selena.“Good morning Grandpa.” She greeted him.“Good morning.” He greeted her and spared her a glance. When his eyes landed on her, he asked,“Are you going somewhere?”She nodded. “I need to go visit Mara.”The old man sighed and turned back to the view outside. “Make sure you use a facemask. I was just about to tell you that I need to be alone…. Sorry.”Selena chewed the insides of her cheek before suggesting, “Is the mood swing back again? Do you want me to call Dr. Dinna?”“Don't worry. Just… leave.”She said nothing as she turned and made her way out of the room. She shut the door behind her and leaned her back on the door, mouth parted.

    ~ VINCENT ~To Vincent, there's something about having loud friends —- he couldn't even be miserable in peace.No one said school was going to be easy. When he picked another MSc degree in fashion and clothing apparel, he'd thought it will be all rosy because he has passion for it. But well, school came with the entire ‘bats from hell' package and his not-really-serous friends are not helping.Their temporary lockdown due to the incident at the bar only lasted for a month since that was the time their groceries could last and again, they were forced to go back into the world and resume activities like a normal human.The only ‘good’ thing the incident caused was it made Jenna funnier and more petty. She never failed to remind Remi of what he did that day.Vincent closed his eyes, feeling as the water from the shower head trickled down his skin. He continued to use his palm to scrub his body as he murmured the music which was blasting in the whole apartment to himself.His fingers brus

    Things don't always go as planned. When Sinclair's brother started the live video, he didn't expect to do the exact opposite of what he wanted to do. With shock and panic coursing through his veins, his eyes darted to his comment section. It was in an uproar. He'd frozen and when one of his friends tapped his shoulder, his phone fell from his hand to the ground with a clatter. Ivan was as pale as a ghost. He never expected Mara to be this desperate. He shook his head wildly as his eyes met Grandpa Santini's who was staring up at him from his chair.“She's joking.” He said with a nervous chuckle.“I'm not.” Mara declared, her voice form. “If you don't let me go and insist on aborting my baby, I will share the news.” “You are not okay.” Ivan continued to repeat in denial. “You are obviously not okay.” His head was spinning. “I didn't do it. You did. You were the one that exchanged the water which meant you did it.” With each sentence, he took a step towards Mara who was also taking s

    “Huh?” Ivan asked in confusion, his brain failing to at first grasp what grandpa Santini had said but when he traced the direction of his jutted chin to Mara, his nostrils flared but he said nothing.“Are you deaf? Why did you have sex with her? You still had the galls to force yourself on her just because you want to get back at—”“ —-wait. She told you that?” Ivan asked, interrupting him with a chuckle. Then he turned to Mara, an amused look on his face. “Why didn't you tell him the truth?” Mara sobbed, shaking her head wildly but she said nothing and could only hope that the ground should open and swallow her. The embarrassment and shame is simply too much for her to handle.With a sigh, Ivan moved to sit at the feet of grandpa Santini's bed. “And point of correction. I didn't sleep with Dimitri's wife. Instead, he married my woman. It wouldn't have been possible if she wasn't a whore though.” He said with a shrug.“He's lying.” Mara whispered.The old man was confused but he turn

    Mara's little task to report herself wasn't brought about to her by desperation or, maybe it partly was. But it was due to fear.And this time around, she doesn't even care. She knew Dimitri was one persistent hell of a man. If he promised to divorce her, he would and she knew there's nothing she could do about it. But she only has two oppositions, if she's to lose everything, she doesn't want to lose her baby. And… she doesn't want to go back to Ivan.Dimitri had said it.Maybe he was joking. But Dimitri was never one to crack jokes. Going back to Ivan wasn't an option. She knew without being told that he's a psychopath. The last words he'd whispered to her still echoed in her ear, sending shivers down her spine as she ascended the stairs with the help of the railings.When she reached Grandpa Santini's wing of the mansion, she stopped before a mirror and patted her hair before walking down the hallway to his room. She turned the knob just as her step mother in law opened it.“Oh mo

    Dimitri shooting two of his men was like a domino effect. And like usual, Asher decided not to share the crucial part of the story. He'd said they were attacked by him out of nowhere.There's a saying that the moment a saint commits a bad sin, it automatically overshadows all the good he'd done. Dimitri was no saint and this was just an analogy.The rumours didn't stop there until another sprouted out that he's likely responsible for Ava's death and he's not fit to be a leader. Sinclair's brother had requested an audience with Grandpa Santini but he was turned down. He'd ganged up with his friend who also agreed that he's not a good leader and he should be stripped of his position. They said that that was why he hated Ivan and removed him as his second in command after using him.Dimitri heard everything but he was not moved. He was already punishing himself emotionally, he didn't want anyone to add to his already full plate so he decided to pretend he didn't hear everything. He'd ev

    ~ DIMITRI ~Anger still coursed through his veins as he stepped out of his car, locked it and pocketed his key. The sky was slowly turning dark as he walked towards the direction of the mansion's entrance but he stopped in his tracks as three men who'd been patrolling suddenly walked towards him with a sickening smile on their faces.He raised an eyebrow but decided to keep quiet, waiting for them to speak first. The three men were; Sinclair, Asher, and Jose.“Welcome pakhan.” Sinclair said with a small bow, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips.Jose hung his gun on his shoulder as he stepped closer to him. “Can I take your jacket? You must be quite stressed.” He said slowly as he tried to peel his jacket off him.Dimitri's hands shook by his side, disgust rolling up like bile in his stomach. He inhaled sharply, trying to keep his anger at bay. He knew his anger would get him nowhere except in trouble. His anger had only led people to early graves and hospital beds and he d

    When the maids advised Mara to seduce Dimitri again, they didn't know it will lead to an accident. And now, instead of them to take responsibility, they were stupefied.The two maids who were following her from behind exchanged glances before letting out a shrill scream which echoed around the house as Dimitri rushed her down the stairs.“She's dead! Oh my God!” The second maid who had her hair packed in a messy bun exclaimed before placing her palm on her mouth in a faux attempt to shut herself up. The first maid was already rushing down the stairs, after Dimitri. The second maid rushed after her just as the butler and some few maids who'd heard the piercing scream ran out of the kitchen.They all rushed to the door to watch Dimitri place her in his car until he sped off. The lounge area was in an uproar.“What happened?” Ray, the butler asked in confusion. “What's going on?”“It's the first young master. He'd killed his wife.” The first maid whisper-yelled.“What?!” There's another
