“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

  • Dangerously Yours    5. And he will be back for more

    ~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

    ~ VINCENT ~“We will wait for you here.” Vincent raised an eyebrow, his gaze scanning the trio who looked like they were about to go out.“But you have somewhere to be… like, you are dressed like you do.” Basically, Vincent had just come back from his little outing when he bumped into his neighbours who were dressed like they were on their way out.“Don't worry about us.” Jenna said, waving her hand as if swatting a fly. “As long as you still wanna hang out, we will cancel all our plans, right Alex?” She asked, hitting him softly with her shoulders.“Of course.” He said with a smile, his eyes fixed on Vincent.Vincent sighed before unlocking his door and stepping in. He halted, not knowing what to do, before he cleared his throat.“Please come in.” He whispered, ushering the trio into his new home.“You have a cool place dude.” Remi praised. Vincent bit the insides of his cheeks in nervousness as he stepped further into his haven. He pointed to the couch, signalling for them to set

    ~ MARA ~Mara couldn't help but think of this as a sort of crude joke.A sack letter?Who does that?She closed her eyes at Dimitri's unjustness and leaned her back against the walls of the elevator. When the elevator dinged, she stood straight and dusted invisible dirts on her short black gown.With head held high, she stepped into Dimitri's floor. His guards were already waiting at the front of his door. Mara wore a smile as she approached them.“Hiiiiiiiiii.” She greeted, moving towards Dimitri's door, the smile still on her face.Two of the guards stood in front of the door, blocking her way.She raised an eyebrow. “What's happening?”“Boss said not to allow anyone entry.”“Boss said not to allow you entry.” They said in unison.The arch in Mara's brows deepened as she wondered which of the two statements she wants to believe. Knowing Dimitri, she decided to believe the latter.She bit her lips in embarrassment as her grip on her small bag tightened. “I…” She swallowed.“I need j

  • Dangerously Yours    47. Untreated wounds

    ~ VINCENT ~No one said healing was going to be a walk in the park. Perhaps, Vincent thought running away from his problems would make him heal or forget about them. But he'd been ignorant of the fact that, untreated wounds rot and decay. Moreover, the thing about problems is that they adapt. A location, a different problem, same person. It's like thinking that becoming more richer or powerful will solve ones problem not knowing the problems will get cunnier.Vincent's hand halted on the door knob as he tried to strain his ears to catch the voices on the other side of his door.“Are you sure we should do this?” A voice whispered.Vincent groaned as he recognised the voice, his grip on his bag tightening.“Just knock, he won't bite.” Jenna ordered.However, before any any fist could knock on the door, Vincent pulled the door open, coming face to face with his shocked neighbours.Remi’s mouth was parted in shock. Jenna held a candy halfway into her mouth. Then, she shook her head, rega

  • Dangerously Yours    46. Out of grasp

    ~ DIMITRI ~Dimitri sat on a comfortable couch, his eyes fixed on nothing. To others, he's staring at the pristine white wall opposite him, but he's actually staring at nothing. The smell of antiseptic clung to the air like it's a lifeline. Opposite him, Ivan leaned on the wall, his eyes closed with a crease on his forehead. Dimitri's father paced the white vast empty hallways with his hands in his pocket, his jaw clenched too tight. It's the first time he will ever lose his composure. On the other hand, Dimitri's stepmother spared Dimitri deathly side glances on regular intervals. There's a loud beep from the door opposite Dimitri. The entire private hospital suite has been booked and labelled off limits to outsiders that are not part of the Santini family. Some minutes later, an old man in a white coat stepped out of the door opposite Dimitri. The sound of the door shutting closed finally broke Dimitri out of his little reverie and he shifted his gaze to the doctor.The doctor, w

  • Dangerously Yours    45. The fall

    ~ VINCENT ~It seemed Mr Ricci forgot to mention the ‘free circus entertainment’ perk that came with the apartment. Just when Vincent thought his day couldn't get any weirder, the plane couple showed up with their oddly dressed friend in tow. Vincent groaned as he fixed his gaze on the approaching trio. The guy from the plane spotted him first and he cleared his throat alerting his partner — the lady from the plane — who has a chip halfway into her opened mouth with her eyes fixed on her other friend who walked beside her while showing her something on his phone. She lifted her gaze to her friend, brows raised. His eyes moved to Vincent's direction animatedly. The lady glared at her friend in irritation but when her gaze moved to where he's standing, her eyes widened like saucers and she hurriedly tapped her friend who still has his eyes fixed on his phone.“That's the asshole.” She whispered between mouthfuls, not bothering to keep her voice low. “Shhhhhh Jenna, he can hear you!”

    ~ DIMITRI ~Few hours later and the mansion's hall was already decorated to fit the theme and mood Grandpa Santini wanted. The maids hurried in and out of the mansion's hall with baskets of decorative items while some pushed in a stroller with a big white cake. The air was filled with the smell of food and low chatters. On the second floor, in a room down the hall stood Dimitri, clad in a black suit, standing before a mirror. He stared back at his reflection with an emotionless face. His hair had been slicked back with gel making his angular and sharp features more prominent. Soon enough, there was a knock on the door and he didn't turn to check since he already knew who'd knocked on the door just by the way they knocked. The door opened and Ivan entered, wearing a black pants with his sleeves rolled up to his arms.He walked towards Dimitri, his jacket dangling on his arm. “If I'd known you would be a married man today, I would have arranged a bachelor's party yesterday.” He said,

    ~ DIMITRI ~It only took weeks before Dimitri's not so peaceful life went haywire. And it started with the phone call from Grandpa Santini who urged him to pull up at the Santini mansion as early as possible. Reluctantly, he dropped everything he was doing and called one of his chauffeurs to get the car ready. Some minutes later, Dimitri walked out of the Santini corporation with his head held high and his hands in his gray pants pocket. The car pulled up at the company's entrance and he stepped in after the door was opened for him by one of the two men accompanying him including the driver.The ride was silent until they reached the Santini's mansion. One of the escorts at the front hurried out to open Dimitri's door and after that, he stepped outside. He dusted invisible dirts on his pants before walking towards the main entrance, his hands leisurely by his sides.On entering, he groaned. His father, his step mother, grandpa Santini, Ivan, Nikolai and Nicole - Ivan's twin siblings

  • Dangerously Yours    42. The couples on the plane

    ~ VINCENT ~Apart from hating Dimitri with all his heart, he also hated sitting in the middle seat in planes. He'd always preferred sitting on the seat near the window, but today on his trip to Miami, flight-luck was not on his side.Unfortunately, he was squashed between two couples who are always passing stuff and talking to each other. Vincent closed his eyes, his brows scrunched in frustration as the lady to his left leaned forward to talk to her partner, who was sitting on Vincent's right while he hoped that he won't feel any saliva landing on his being.The lady feeling his distress slowly tapped him and he peeled his weary eyes open with a questioning look etched on his brows.“What?”She blew the gum in her mouth and pointed to her partner. “If you don't mind, can you come sit here so I can be closer with my partner?” She asked.And Vincent internally rolled his eyes. My partner, my foot! If he's not lucky in love by not having a partner, he will make sure anyone around him fe

  • Dangerously Yours    41. A new start

    ~ VINCENT ~What do a normal human do in this situation? Sit down and continue to wallow in self pity? Or give up on everything altogether?It's supposed to be either of the two. But… Vincent is not a normal human. His breaking point didn't break him. Instead, it broke another thing. And what's that? The fog clouding his senses.He dropped his phone and let out one long bitter laugh until his belly ached. Then, he stood up. Even though he looked tired, there was a certain light burning in the depth of his eyes. And it's not the normal light that always burns in his eyes. Instead, this one was different, dangerous, it was the light that was drawn from pain. Instead of letting his situation break him, he drew motivation from it. And that was all that mattered to him at the moment. First things first, Vincent took off his shirt, leaving only sweat pants that hung loosely around his snatched waist. He'd grown lean but he didn't care about that right now. The only thing that mattered for
