LEILA  

.

.

He walked towards me, his gaze locked onto mine, and a chilling realization washed over me.

 I was the target.

 Not any of the others huddled in fear, not even Misa.

Everyone else, the terrified guards, the whimpering maids  they were just witnesses.

The heavy door creaked open again, and several young women, some almost naked except for little coverage of  panties, one completely bare, were shoved into the hall, their screams echoing off the cold stone walls.

At that moment, a strange numbness settled over me, even as my insides trembled violently.

The sheer audacity of it all, the blatant disregard for human life, for  him to look at me with that cold, calculating intensity, I knew what it meant.

They knew I was close to Damien but how had they figured that out?

I hadn’t been out with him publicly, and no one here knew about our complicated past, our twisted version of family except  for that visit to my mom and maybe they had been watching me for a long time.

He stopped a few feet away, a cruel smile twisting his lips.

My short dress had ridden even further up during the struggle, and the lace of my garter belt was now clearly visible, making me feel exposed and vulnerable despite the thin fabric of my g-string.

What if he decided to rape me?

The thought sent a fresh wave of nausea churning in my stomach.

God, I couldn’t bear the thought of his hands on my skin.

He reached out, his fingers brushing against my cheek, the touch surprisingly gentle before his hand slid down to my chest, his thumb pressing against the swell of my breast.

His eyes lingered there for a moment, a predatory gleam in their depths and I felt so utterly dirty, violated, the disgust must have been written all over my face because his smile widened.

“How many years have you been with him?” he asked, his voice deceptively calm as he straightened up.

One of his men roughly pulled me to my feet, my ankle, which had twisted during the abduction, throbbing with renewed pain.

I clenched my jaw, refusing to speak, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing my fear.

He let out a harsh, maniacal laugh, then stepped closer, the cold steel of a gun barrel pressing against my most vulnerable spot.

His face was inches from mine, his eyes devoid of any warmth, just a cold, serious death glare.

 “I’ma shoot your fucking cunt if you don’t open up in three seconds. When the fuck did he start fucking you?” Tears were already streaming down my face, hot and panicked.

These men looked like they wouldn’t hesitate to carry out their threats.

They needed to send a message, and I was clearly the unfortunate messenger.

“A month,” I choked out, my voice trembling “I’ve been here for three weeks.”

His serious expression dissolved into laughter again, a harsh, grating sound that echoed through the hall.

He slapped the gun against his own head, a reckless gesture that made me flinch, terrified it would accidentally discharge. “She’s a motherfucking amateur,” he sneered, looking at me with contempt.

“Aren’t you?” I spat, the adrenaline giving me a sudden surge of defiance.

I aimed and poured the remnants of my drink into his face because he smelled disgusting, like stale sweat and drink, a pathetic excuse for a man.

He looked at me, wiping the liquid from his face with the back of his hand, then shockingly, licked it off.

I felt bile rising in my throat.

 My stomach was churning violently, and all I wanted was for Damien to walk through those doors and make this nightmare end.

The tears flowed more freely now, and I instinctively cowered to one side, trying to put some distance between us.

He turned, and the next thing I felt was a sharp, brutal slap across my face, the force of it making my head snap to the side.

I lost my balance, almost falling, but the men holding me upright kept a firm grip, still, my legs felt unsteady, and my vision swam for a moment, the lights threatening to fade.

“You don’t fucking play with the Elvares,” he snarled, making a little  hiss. “He comes to my place, kills my fucking family, my own fucking brothers, and feels that’s all okay? This is the beginning of war, all of you!” He spun around, the gun held loosely in his hand, his eyes wild. “All you fuckers are gonna die. And you,” he turned back to me, his gaze filled with a chilling promise of pain, “yours is gonna be slow and painful. Passing a message to that motherfucking cunt that he shouldn’t joke with me.” and  just as his words finished, the deafening sound of gunfire erupted.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

He shot three people in the crowd, their bodies crumpling to the floor, the women screamed, a chorus of terror filling the hall, and everyone scrambled away from the fallen bodies.

At least Misa wasn’t among them.

I could see the raw fear in her eyes, wide and unblinking.

 Now I desperately wished we hadn’t gone out, but this felt like something they had planned for a while, a trap waiting to be sprung.

He moved towards the door, his gaze still fixed on me. “Bring just her,” he commanded, pointing directly at me before disappearing through the doorway.

“Leave me the fuck alone!” I screamed, my voice raw with terror and defiance.

The next thing I felt was a rough bag being shoved over my head, plunging me into darkness. I struggled, my heart pounding  against my ribs, I could feel the tears thick in my throat.

    DAMIEN ..The call dropped, the silence in the hotel room suddenly deafening after Misa’s frantic words.We had just stepped off the plane, the humidity clinging to us like a second skin, the promise of a few days of respite before heading back to New York hanging in the air.“What’s wrong?” I’d asked, my gut twisting with a sudden premonition.“Leila… the estate was raided. She was taken. Everything’s shattered.” I said to Gerald while he came around where I stood, looking at me like he had just seen a ghost but that was barely a problem as my eyes widened in disbelief, then narrowed with a white-hot fury that threatened to consume me.“They fucking took her?” I slammed my fist into the wall, again and again, the drywall cracking under the force of my rage.We were in a goddamn hotel room, the plan to return to our lives in the Alvaro’s Mansion the next day now a distant, mocking memory. “Buddy, you gotta hold on,” Gerald said, his voice surprisingly calm amidst my storm of fury.

    DAMIEN ..The car ate up the distance, our car, three of which I had chosen from all the cars, and also I’d handpicked a few solid guys from Gerald’s crew, the kind who wouldn’t blink if hell itself opened up.Alvin wouldn’t know I was coming this night, maybe expecting me the next day, just like I hadn’t had any warning about his lowlife ambush. Guess he still hadn’t figured out who the fuck he was messing with.Every damn whisper in the New York underworld eventually found its way to me. I was the damn underworld, and the Alvaros weren't some two-bit operation to be taken lightly.Not even if I drew my last breath.I was the devil they all feared, and Alvin had just signed his death warrant, this kind of shit doesn’t happen while I watch , not on my territory.I walked towards the imposing gate of Alvin’s estate, the wrought iron cold against my palm as I pushed it open.My guys moved with a practiced silence, slipping through the opening like shadows.The air instantly crackled

Their heavy bodies thudded onto the polished floor, the sound barely audible over the terrified screams of the women huddled in the corner, their hands clamped over their ears.They were mostly naked, just scraps of fabric clinging to them, their eyes wide with a fear that mirrored Leila's in my nightmares.I hated that sound, the sound of pure terror, it clawed at something inside me, a primal protectiveness for what was mine.That raw sound, the sheer vulnerability in their screams, only fueled the boiling rage inside me.I shoved the li

It was a grim skill I’d picked up in this life, knowing how to treat wounds, especially after seeing Alvin shoot that poor nurse without a second thought, it has resurfaced within me, it hasn’t been me who’d had the knitting pin yanked out, Gerald had handled that, his face grim as he’d worked.We had left that burning hellhole behind, and as we drove further away, a deafening boom echoed in the distance. I turned to see Alvin’s estate engulfed in flames, a raging inferno against the dark sky.“We need your help,” Gerald said, his clothes looking fresh, like he’d changed into something new.He seemed to have regained his composure, but my mind was still racing, fixated on Damien.“How’s he feeling?”They had called someone else for medical assistance to oversee his injured area.“He needs to be stitched up and bandaged properly,” he scratched his head like some confused child. “N

I can get anyone to do it, but I think… I think I want to hear you speak.”He tried to push himself up higher against the pillows, his movements stiff and pained.He should have been lying flat on his back, protecting the wound, but instead, he was trying to sit up, his face etched with discomfort.“Why did you never question Mabel?” he asked, his gaze suddenly intense, piercing. This wasn’t the time to talk about my mother, not now.M
