~Passage~

A few days had passed since Andrès and Carlos had struck their agreement, and Andrès found himself summoned to a private club downtown. "The Table" requested a meeting . It was an exclusive gathering spot, meant only for the most trusted and powerful figures in their line of business. As Andrès walked in, the atmosphere felt heavy, charged with a mix of curiosity and skepticism that only grew as the men at the table sized him up. Each of them held their own power, wealth, and influence-and now, Andrès had a seat among them.

Carlos motioned him over to an empty chair. "Gentlemen, meet my son, Andrès," he introduced, his voice calm but carrying an edge of authority. The others nodded, some with interest, others with unreadable expressions. Andrès took his seat, meeting each of their eyes in turn, feeling their scrutiny.

"Good to meet you again," one of the men said, leaning back with a smirk. "Carlos has spoken highly of you. Now, let's see if you can live up to it."

    ~Who is Carlos?~ After a long day, Andrès had a long hot shower before heading to bed. He laid down, facing the ceiling as he tried to get some rest. He was yet to get some since Elijah's death. It was almost as if he tried to keep himself busy, just to keep his mind off it. Andrès stared at the ceiling, his mind racing. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Carlos's face, heard his words echoing in his mind–I'm your father. How many lies had he been living under without even knowing it? What kind of games was Carlos playing? It didn't make any sense and with how his life turned out since Emily and Gael betrayed him, Carlos turning up as his father looked a little too convenient. He grabbed his phone and dialed Joyce's number without a second thought. The phone rang a few times before her sleepy voice answered. "Andrès?" she mumbled, trying to shake off sleep. "I need you here first thing in the morning, Joyce," he said, unable to keep the urgency out of his voice. "It's imp

    ~I'm The Boss~As dawn broke, Mateo walked into Andrès's office with a grim, determined look on his face. He had news, and by the look of him, it wasn't the kind anyone would take lightly."We got him, boss," he announced simply. Andrès looked up, his expression unreadable, but Mateo knew his boss well enough to know that he was already anticipating the rest."Who was it?" Andrès asked, barely containing his anger.Mateo straightened. "One of the Table's own informants. They sent him to sniff around our operation. He thought he was clever, but I made sure he realized his mistake." Mateo's eyes hardened, hinting at just how "final" the lesson had been.Andrès nodded, taking it in, his jaw clenching as he processed the betrayal. He took a deep breath, his voice low and cold. "Good. They need to know who they're dealing with. Arrange a meeting with the Table," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for debate. "And make sure Carlos is there. I want him to see this up close."Mateo gave a t

    ~My Rules~Carlos sat back in his chair, letting the silence hang in the air as he processed what had just transpired. The other members of the Table shifted uncomfortably, their expressions wary. Finally, Carlos cleared his throat and spoke, his voice a mix of reassurance and confidence, even if it was just for show."I'll handle it," he said, breaking the silence that had settled over them. "Andrès is... adjusting. He has his own way of doing things, but I'll speak with him. We'll sort this out."Some of the men nodded, though Carlos could see they weren't entirely convinced. They had just witnessed the fire in Andrès's eyes, his absolute refusal to be controlled. Carlos stood and gave a brief nod to the group. Without another word, he made his way out of the club, feeling the weight of their eyes on his back.When he got outside, he climbed into his car, shut the door, and immediately pulled out his phone. Dialing Andrès's number, he leaned back in his seat, waiting for his son to

    ~Nothing to Find~Andrès hung up the phone, the call with Carlos still lingering in his mind, leaving him slightly annoyed. But rather than letting it occupy his thoughts, he decided to set it aside. Carlos could say what he wanted, but Andrès had his own path to carve out, and he wasn't about to let anyone-family or otherwise-dictate his way of running things.With a quick shake of his head, he refocused and picked up his phone, calling his Pa to track down Joyce. After a few moments, Pa confirmed she was on her way. Andrès leaned back in his chair, letting his mind wander briefly as he waited. He'd asked Joyce to dig into Carlos's background, and he was eager to hear what she'd uncovered. Carlos seemed to pop into his life out of nowhere, and while he was supposedly family, Andrès knew better than to accept anyone's word without proof.A light knock at the door interrupted his thoughts, and Joyce stepped in. Joyce had a way of handling things that put him at ease, but she also had a

    ~Hit and Run~Less than an hour after Joyce left his office, Andrès's phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw an unknown number, but something in his gut told him to pick up. The voice on the other end-a calm yet urgent tone-introduced themselves as a nurse at the nearby hospital, informing him that Joyce had been involved in a hit-and-run and was listed as critical. They'd called him as her emergency contact.For a moment, he froze, processing the words. Hit-and-run. Critical condition. The meaning of those words were scary, and then suddenly, he was moving-grabbing his keys and rushing out the door, not bothering to tell his guards or even lock up behind him. He didn't think twice. In that moment, nothing mattered except getting to her.The drive to the hospital was a blur, each red light and obstacle on the road adding to his growing frustration. His mind raced with questions. Who would do this? Why now? And most importantly-was she going to be okay?After what felt like an eter

    ~Cryptic Message~As Andrès drove home, trying to focus on the road while his mind raced with plans for revenge, his phone buzzed. Glancing down, he saw an anonymous text message lighting up the screen. The words made his blood run cold:"I hope you listen now."He gripped the steering wheel tighter, feeling a surge of anger and indignation. This message was no coincidence; it was a direct taunt from whoever had orchestrated the hit-and-run that put Joyce in the hospital. They wanted him to know they weren't afraid, that they were willing to cross lines to get what they wanted-and they expected him to bend under the pressure.But they had made a grave error.Andrès pulled over to the side of the road, his mind racing. He quickly scanned the message, analyzing each word, trying to find any hidden clues. "Listen now." What was it they wanted him to understand, or submit to? The message was cryptic, but one thing was clear-they were sending him a warning. And by involving Joyce, they'd c

    ~Stay With Me~The next morning, Andrès walked briskly down the sterile white halls of the hospital, his shoes echoing against the polished floor. He was anxious to see Joyce-hoping she was doing better already and eager to speak with her face-to-face.When he reached her room, he knocked softly and then entered, finding her sitting up in bed, looking much more alert than the day before. She glanced up at him with a faint smile."You look better," he said with a hint of relief, moving closer to her bed. "How are you feeling?""Like I've been hit by a truck," Joyce replied, managing a chuckle. "But honestly, a lot better than yesterday. They've been giving me enough medication to make sure I'm not in too much pain."He nodded, pleased to hear it. "Good. I didn't sleep much last night, worrying about you."Joyce raised an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise passing across her face. "I didn't realize I was that important."Andrès hesitated, then cleared his throat. "Joyce, someone clearly tar

    ~Another Day~Andrès stepped out of the front door of his estate, the morning sun casting long shadows across the driveway. His sleek black car idled nearby, the driver already holding the door open. He adjusted the cuff of his shirt and slid into the backseat, nodding to the driver."Hospital," he said simply, pulling his phone from his pocket.The ride was quiet, the hum of the engine and the blaring of impatient drivers the only sound as they wove through the city streets. Andrès tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his gaze fixed on the passing scenery, though his mind was elsewhere. When they pulled into the hospital parking lot, he stepped out before the driver could circle around to open the door for him.Inside, the sterile scent of disinfectant hit him immediately, sharp and familiar. He approached the reception desk, his polished shoes clicking against the tiled floor."Joyce Mayers," he said to the receptionist, his voice low but firm.The woman looked up, clearly rec

    Inside a sleek, dimly lit office, the scent of expensive cigars lingered in the air. A heavy oak desk sat at the center of the room, stacks of files neatly arranged on top. The walls were lined with bookshelves, but the books were more for appearance than usage. In reality, this office belonged to a man who conducted most of his business in the shadows. Seated in a high-backed leather chair was Morano LaRosa, the CEO of LaRosa Enterprises—a name known in legal circles as a legitimate business empire, but in the underworld, it held a much darker reputation. His dark hair was slicked back, his facial expression was unreadable as he sat in a meeting with his senior staff. The door swung open without warning. A man in a black suit and dark shades stepped inside. He walked with confidence that surprised Morano. The man exuded authority and power. The room instantly fell silent. Morano barely glanced up when he barked orders. “Out. Now.” The staff members hesitated for only a frac

    ~A Walk Down Memory Lane~The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow across the polished floors of Andrés' bedroom. He stirred awake, his body feeling slightly more rested than usual. After a few moments, he got up, stretched, and moved toward the bathroom to get ready for the day.He turned on the shower, letting the water run warm before stepping in. The heat loosened the tension in his muscles, but his mind remained active. Today was different-he was stepping fully into the role of CEO for his new company, the face of his legitimate empire. As much as he loathed the tedious office politics, he understood its importance in maintaining his public image.After a quick shower, he toweled off and dressed in a tailored navy-blue suit, pairing it with a crisp white shirt and a silver tie. His reflection in the mirror was the epitome of power and control,l. By the time he left his room, the house was already buzzing with activity. He grabbed a coffee from the k

    ~Two Worlds~Andrés sat on the edge of his bed, the soft glow of a bedside lamp illuminating his face. The events of the day replayed in his mind like a relentless loop. The betrayal of his employees, the hijacked shipment, and the growing web of deception within his world-it all gnawed at him.But it wasn't just today's chaos that plagued him. His thoughts wandered to Emily and Gael, the two people who had shattered his trust in the past. His wife, who had shared his bed, and his best friend, who had shared his plans-both of them had betrayed him in ways that still cut deep.And then there was the Round Table. Those men who fancied themselves untouchable, manipulating the business world from the shadows. Andrés clenched his jaw. Their day of reckoning would come, but not tonight.He exhaled heavily, setting those dark thoughts aside for now. It was too much to process in one sitting. What he needed was a distraction, something to remind him that not everything in his life was falling

    ~Sniffed Out~Andrés sat in his dimly lit study, the shadows playing across his face as he stared at the glass of whiskey in his hand. He'd barely touched it. His thoughts churned with anger, frustration, and the overwhelming need for retribution. The hijacked shipment wasn't just a loss of goods-it was a direct insult, a challenge to his power and authority.There had to be a rat in the system. Someone on the inside had leaked the location, and Andrés wasn't going to let them get away with it.Grabbing his phone, he called Mateo. The line barely rang twice before his trusted security head answered."Sir?" Mateo's voice was calm, as always."I need you at the estate now," Andrés said sharply."I'll be there in ten minutes."True to his word, Mateo arrived quickly, stepping into the study with his usual composed aura. Andrés didn't wait for him to settle before launching into the issue."There's a traitor," Andrés began, his voice cold and deliberate. "Someone in the loading department

Their bodies moved in perfect sync, like it was rehearsed, their love making intense and all-consuming, nothing would match the sensation they both felt. It was everything. Joyce, looked straight into Andres's eyes and she could tell how he feels, a different type of sensation washed over her instantly, she could feel it coming, she held on to Andre so tight as she dug her fingers into his back, the pleasure she felt increased to no limit. "You're making me cum" she moaned out loudly.Andre kept thrusting consistently, to allow her reach her orgasm as he was also near climax."Damn" groaned as as they both cummed together.And then they finally collapsed onto the bed, exhausted and spent, she knew that she was his, body and soul.Soon , they both slept off, while cuddling.Andres woke up to the warmth of his body which was still on fire from the moment He had, hours ago.

    ~Hard and Juicy~Joyce, slumped into the couch, her eyes fixed on the floor as she let out a deep sigh. The weight of the day's stress bore down on her like a physical force, it was as though her body was recovering from a critical accident. it could be seen on her face that she's stressed, she looked pale, one could think she is sick, she had just returned from work. Earlier than she does. She tried so hard to relax on the couch.Andres sat down beside her, his eyes filled with concern as he gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, what's wrong? You're good?" he asked, his voice low and tranquilizing. With concern etched on his face.She shook her head, feeling a lump form in her throat. It's nothing much. "It's just work," she replied, her voice sounding more like a whisper. "I feel like I'm drowning in responsibility."He nodded empathetically, staring intensely at her, he moved closer to her and whispered into her ear "You're doing too much," he said, his voice firm but gentle

    ~The Hit~The evening had arrived, and the air buzzed with anticipation as Andrés and Joyce prepared to head to the grand launch of the new company. The event was being held at an opulent hotel ballroom in the heart of the city, the perfect venue to mark such a significant milestone. Every detail had been meticulously planned, from the décor to the guest list, and tonight promised to be unforgettable.Joyce stood in her room, smoothing out the sleek black gown she'd chosen for the evening. Its modest yet elegant design complemented her figure, and she paired it with a simple silver necklace. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror, ensuring every strand of hair was in place. Tonight wasn't just about Andrés; she wanted to make a good impression, too.Downstairs, Andrés waited, already dressed in a perfectly tailored navy suit with a crisp white shirt and a black tie. He stood by the living room window, checking his watch. His usually composed demeanor showed a flicker of nerves as

    ~I'm Sorry~Her brows furrowed as she looked up at him. "You keep saying that, but you're not giving me any reason to stop worrying.""I don't owe you a reason," he said, though his words lacked the bite they might have carried in other circumstances. "You're my employee, Joyce, not my keeper."The words stung, and he seemed to notice because he sighed and added, "Look, I'll be fine. Go to bed. You've had a long day."She hesitated, her mind racing with questions she knew he wouldn't answer. Finally, she took a step back, her expression guarded."Fine," she said quietly. "But if you're in some kind of trouble-""I'm not," he interrupted. "Now, goodnight."He turned and walked toward the staircase, leaving her standing in the living room.Joyce watched him go, her eyes drifting back to the faint stain on his collar. Something wasn't right. She could feel it. But as much as she wanted to press further, she knew he wouldn't budge.She sank back onto the couch, her mind swirling with poss

    ~In Cold Blood~Finally, the man behind the hit and Run of Joyce was caught. He was strapped to a chair in a hidden location. The warehouse was dimly lit, with a single bulb hanging from the ceiling, casting shadows on the walls. The air was thick with tension as Mateo, Andrés's most trusted bodyguard, stood near a restrained man tied to a metal chair. The man's face was bruised, his clothes disheveled from a scuffle during his capture.The sound of Andrés's car screeching to a halt outside echoed through the building. Moments later, the heavy door swung open, and Andrés strode in, his expression cold and calculating."Is this him?" Andrés asked, his voice low and sharp."Yes, boss," Mateo replied, stepping aside to reveal the man.Andrés studied the man in silence for a moment, his hands in his pockets. The man avoided his gaze, his head hanging low."What's your name?" Andrés asked, his tone eerily calm.The man didn't respond."I asked you a question," Andrés said, stepping closer.
