"Please, just give me some more time. I will try to pay the mortgage" Hera begged the bank official who came to seize her house. 

The bank official gave her a look of guilt. She lives in Chicago, in a town named Oak park. He is working in their town for over ten years now. He is a friend of her mother as well.

"Hera, I am really sorry. You know I wouldn't have done this if I could stop it. I am helpless in this matter" he said sadly.

The others began throwing her stuff out, pushing her out of her own home. This is the place she grew up in. The home that treasures all of her memories with her mother.

As the weight of what was happening sat in her mind, she realized that she was now homeless. Tears she tried hard to hold back are now freely falling from her eyes.

An orphaned high school student who just turned eighteen with still six more months left in her senior year, and homeless. This scenario doesn't sound good, but this is her situation now. She is struggling to pay the bills by working two part-time jobs till eleven o clock at night and then she has to wake up early the next morning to write her homework and then go to school. She is a very bright student with a 4 GPA. But now, she will be forced to stop her education and first find a place to stay. Sleeping on the streets is dangerous at night for a young girl like her.

Hopelessly she watched her stuff being thrown out along with her late mother's belongings, which she treasured. Hurriedly she picked up her mother's stuff and dusted them off one after another.

"Oh my poor Hera, if you want you can sleep in my house. My offer is still open" she stiffened when she heard the familiar yet repulsive voice of her middle-aged neighbor, who is a lecherous asshole.

She ignored him. 

Cedric is in his late thirties and moved into the empty house next to hers a year ago. From the beginning, he never hid his interest in Hera, which she never encouraged or liked. Cedric runs a pub in the town and stays alone. He always brings women home and is loud as hell. He tried to bed Hera, but she is not a naive teenager like her peers. As a girl raised by a single parent, she had to grow up faster than the rest. She knows what kind of a man Cedric is. To her distress, she works in his pub as a waitress after school.

When Cedric noticed that Hera is ignoring him and quickly picking her stuff up from the ground, he twisted his face with annoyance. 

Hera is tall at 5'8 with long lean legs and her physic is to die for. He never saw a woman who has so many curves as she does, but there is not an ounce of fat on her body anywhere. Her plump pink lips are a temptation that he cannot resist. Her long brown hair teases her waist whenever she moves. He is trying to bed her from the time his eyes landed on the pretty fairy. But she hates him to the point that she threatened to stop working for him if he ever tries to touch her. He cannot risk it. Most of the patrons who come to his club come to see her. If she quits, he would lose customers. 

"Hera, you can stay in my place. I swear I will not try anything" he lied. Once she agrees to stay with him, he will get so many chances to sleep with her. 

She ignored his words. She is not an idiot. She keeps stumbling upon men like him regularly in his bar. They would do and say anything to get into her pants. Quietly she picked up her mother's stuff and began to collect it in one place so that it would be easy for her to carry them with her. But the question is, where? She doesn't have enough money to even rent a place. 

She vaguely heard a mobile ringing and then the banker answering it.

"Hera, here let me help you" Cedric is not giving up this golden opportunity. He is determined to coax her inside his house. When he picked up her mother's picture, she pulled it out of his hands.

"I don't need your help. I can manage" she replied curtly. Cedric is becoming impatient and angry. He is half a second away from pulling her inside his house forcefully. After all, no one would come to her rescue.

"Stop" suddenly the banker instructed his men to stop throwing Hera's things out, which surprised her. She turned to look at them discussing something among themselves before they began to replace all the items back inside the house. She is watching everything with confusion.

"What happened? Why are you keeping her things back inside the house?" it is Cedric who demanded an explanation.

Hera is too confused to speak. 

The good banker ignored Cedric's outburst. He turned towards Hera and gave her a relieved smile. Throwing Hera out of her house is the last thing he wanted to do. But his duty demanded him to do it.

"Congratulations Hera. Now, this house belongs to you. Someone paid the mortgage in full. You are lucky" he explained.

Hera is even more confused after she learned what happened. As far as she knows, they don't have any relatives, at least not someone who would want to help her. So she is shocked to find out who her secret helper is.

"What? Do you know who paid the money?" she asked. She wanted to find out who helped her. But the banker shook his head apologetically.

"No, unfortunately, I don't know the details. Let me help you with your stuff" he offered to help.

On the other hand, Cedric is not happy to hear this. He is looking at Hera with a calculating gleam in his eyes.

A man wearing a long-sleeved grey turtle neck shirt and a pair of black jeans is watching the entire scene unfolding in front of him. His greenish-grey eyes narrowed when they landed on Cedric.

    "You should leave if she wants you to" Hera peeked at the man who came to her rescue. His face is hidden under the cloak of darkness, but his well-built physic is not. He is wearing a t-shirt and jeans. His shirt is hugging to his torso like a second skin. He is tall and his body is toned. A sense of familiarity hit her hard when she looked at him as if she has known him her entire life. Her mother's face popped into her mind. She stumbled a step back. Her own heart began to pound harder, and she felt like her mother is back.Cedric on the other hand turned to see the person who dared to interrupt him in the middle after he composed himself from his initial fear."This is between us. Who are you? How dare you interrupt us in the middle?" he demanded the stranger angrily. He erased the distance between himself and the stranger with the intention intimidated him. But Matteo took a step forward, revealing his sharp handsome features. Cedric came to a dead stop when he came face to face

For some weird and unexplainable reason, she is feeling safe with him. Which is ridiculous."Earth to Hera. What are you doing here?

As soon as he entered inside the cabin, his gaze landed on Sussane, who is looking at him with wide eyes. She lost all the color from her face. She is sitting in Frederick's lap, and the two of them are sucking each others faces. When Fredrick saw him, he pushed her aside and stood up to greet Matteo. She fell down on the floor, unable to gain her balance in her heels."Matteo" he greeted with a bright smile, but his smile vanished when his gaze met Matteo's cold ones. Fredrick gulped audibly. He looked at Nova, who intentionally kept his eyes

    That evening, unable to decide what she should do, Hera decided to go to work again. She is serving customers in Cedric's bar like she usually does. A tight black corset that leaves her midriff and shoulders bare, along with a short black leather skirt is the standard waitress uniform in Cedric's bar. A lot of them try to get handsy with the waitresses. But with Hera, Cedric made sure that no one touches her. It is not because of his kind heart, it's because he doesn't want anyone to touch her when he cannot. "Hera, the boss is looking for you" one of the other waitresses informed Hera after she delivered some vodka shots to a group of rowdy teenagers. As Justin is one of them, she felt relieved to escape from his lust-filled gaze for a few minutes. On the other hand, Matteo arranged a bodyguard to safeguard Hera in his absence. When Matteo went back to Hera's home that night, he found it empty. 'I heard that she is not the typical teenager who loves shopping and partying. But w

    "What is your name?" When Matteo ignored her and began to walk away, she quickly caught up to him and began to walk backward in front of him. Whatever his reasons might be, he protected her today from being violated. Unlike others, he seems to be unaffected by her looks, which she liked. He is a little grumpy, but that is amusing to her. On a whole, she is beginning to like her guardian. She relaxed her guard around him. "You don't have a name?" she teased when he refused to share his name.Matteo gave her a blank look but otherwise did not comment.But Hera is not angered or upset by his attitude. In fact, she began to think that he is cute."Hmm, no problem. You remind me of a cute and grumpy teddy bear. I will call you teddy" she is trying to get a reaction out of him.Matteo glared at her antiques."What? You don't like it? How about Scotty, Albert, or Scooby...." she began to give options, much to his irritation. He realized that she will not shut up until he tells her his nam

    That night, just like Matteo, Sussane couldn't forget about everything that happened in the restaurant that afternoon. Everything kept playing in her mind on a loop. She realized how much Matteo has changed. For some reason, she liked this new him. The hard cold glare he has cast her way made her core clench with want. She remembered their long nights together in the past. "Matteo Gonsalves, I want you to be mine again. I had you once, but foolishly I choose the safe option and betrayed you. But I can see that I still affect you as I used to in the past. Nothing changed. We can still be together. I just have to make sure to cast my spell again and make him forget about what I did in the past" she thought to herself with a smirk. In the lavish three-story villa of Fredrick, Sussane is lying on his bed alone. He went to tend to his nephew, who seems to have gotten into a fight with someone and is injured now. From the moment she saw Matteo again, the need to be his possessed her to th

    You are quite a contradiction, Sussane. You say something and do something else. You act one way and tell the exact opposite thing. You fooled me in the past. But now I know better. Leave" he said firmly. Sussane expected him to say that. She came prepared to pacify him. She realized that she has to bring her life back on track. Hurting him was a mistake that cost her more than her career and her dream. She wanted to make everything right again. She will beg if she has to. Staying with Frederick is not something she wanted to continue. "I am really sorry about what I did. Please, just give me another chance. I promise I will be loyal to you. Please" she begged him. Matteo couldn't help but laugh at her words. But his laughter is humorless and empty. Sussane frowned when he began to laugh. But did not say anything about it. "Another chance? Only a man with a death wish will allow a snake to enter inside his house and life again. Sadly I am not that man. Go and search for someone e

He is anxious for sure, but not scared for his life. If Matteo wanted to kill him, then he would have done it the moment he found out about what Sergie is p

He remembered how much he used to pamper Andre and how his brother used to live like a prince. But now, he came here for a woman and lost his life for the said woman. "Andre, you used to hate hot weather. Tue weather is hot here when compared to Russia. How can they just let your body stay outside their home like that? How can you do that to my brother, Matteo? Is this retribution for what I tried to do to your mate? You are dangling my brother's body in front of me like a carrot. If you think that you can make me weak by doing this, then you are wrong. I will come there, collect my brother's body and start a bloody blood bath. I am coming to Matteo Gonsalves. I am coming to take revenge. I don't care if I live or die.
