"Do not think I'm a fool to not realize the game you played," Jude said to Miguel when he got into his office right after the meeting."Do not think I don't know how you fucked her yesterday. When you fuck these bitches, they report to me with their attitudes so I don't even give a shit if you think or know of any played game. I won! It's my field. She's nothing but a freaking learner." Miguel spat as she sat on the chair. She knew Anita would come for her but she was well prepared for her. She then glared at Jude whose thing in between his legs could never behave.****It's been wild moments for Aria, who had been having a really hard time being a woman in Alejandro's mansion. It was 6 pm right after she stopped cleaning for the day. Tired, she decides to go drop the cleaning instrument, so she gets herself cleaned up before going to bed. On getting to the store where these types of equipment are kept, she started hearing some strange sounds. She paused in her step and tried to pay m
Alejandro's hand turned into a fist as he gritted his teeth. He hated what he was seeing but couldn't tell who he was angry with.Aria was busy with her duties the next day just as usual, cleaning the bathroom like she had always done when Mark appeared, messing up what she was cleaning. She had her eyes on the floor without a word and kept cleaning, hoping to avoid every single issue that could pop up, but Mark didn't appreciate that. "How dare you ignore my presence? Have you forgotten I can make you disappear?" He asked her, and she knelt, hoping he saw that she didn't want trouble."I'm sorry if you are hurt. I see your presence and I'm grateful. I very well acknowledge your presence." She said to him without looking into his eyes.He was a little bit pissed that she was avoiding his gaze, so he got closer and raised her chin, wanting her to look into his eyes, but she tried to avoid it. "Why do you always act like you are special? You aren't special Aria. You are nothing but a pu
The sight in front of him was one he couldn't believe. He had done a lot of bad things in his life but this was just out of it. Aria was in shock as she then had her eyes covered. The men were seven in number. The drinks in their hands had been drugged by Alejandro, and yes, they could only get themselves back by using Mark because they were gays, and they also had Alejandro's permission. Each of them took turns raping Mark in the Anus and aggressively. "Ahhh!!!" He screamed and begged that he get set free, but this man didn't care. The fifth one could not tolerate his house, so he took out some part of his cloth that had been cut and used it to tie up his mouth so he wouldn't hear a thing, but he still heard because Mark was in pain and his screams couldn't contain just his body alone. After about three hours, these men finally got themselves and stopped, the drugs leaving their bodies. They took out the clothes in his mouth and loosed him from the wall, causing him to fall to the fl
They enveloped her and bundled her back to the mansion. The moment they got inside, they walked straight to a room called Alejandro's chamber and dropped her on the floor. She looked up and saw Alejandro. The moment their eyes locked, she froze and looked at the floor. "Leave!" He ordered his men and walked out of the chamber. It was now just him and Aria in there. "What did I do so wrong that made you do that?" He asked her and she froze. She couldn't understand why he was being so calm. "I made you a queen in here and made everyone around get their eyes off you and all you are going to do is throw that away?" He asked her and she shook her head."I'm sorry! I just don't want to be a part of this craziness. Everyone is going mad in here. You are killing people and others are killing others. I now see blood every day of my life, just like I drink water every day, and it hurts. Please just let me go. I promise I won't do anything out of line if I leave just let me get the fuck out of h
Seeing her smile from ear to ear gave Maria deep happiness from within. It was rare to see Aria in this mood. "Don't ever stop smiling." She said to her and Aria's smile widened. The next day, Aria decided to do some cleaning. She got into the private bar in the mansion and was cleaning the wine counter when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned back and was surprised to see Alejandro. "You don't have to be so stressed." He said to her, a bit displeased that she was seriously getting the bar cleaned up when he had maids to do that for him."I really want to. It's the best I can do to help out or I will get very bored." She replied to him, and he smiled."Here! Have this! It will help you relax. It has ten percent alcohol in it, so yeah, be a bit careful when taking it, okay." He said handing a drink to her.She smiled and left with it after cleaning up. "Who has this señiorita? How did it get into your room?" Maria asked her and she smiled."It belongs to me now. Alejandro gave it
She soon remembered that she'd got a lot of work to do that day, so she struggled and got up. After showering, she got into the kitchen but kept losing her focus whenever she thought about what might have occurred between her and Juan. She couldn't remember a thing and she couldn't blame him either because she was certain that it was her fault. Her mind was so messed up that she had no idea someone was behind her until she got tapped. She flinched and turned only to see Aria. "What's wrong?" Aria asked her, surprised to see that she was absentminded which was unlike her."Aria I have made a very big mistake. I don't even think I will ever be able to get myself out of this." She hugged Aria who stood there, surprised."I don't understand. There is no mistake that can't be corrected." She said to her and held her."I did it with Juan last night!" She opened up to Aria. Juan?Aria definitely knew who that was but what she did with him was something she was yet to understand. "What are y
"What do I do? Oh God!" She said as she then walked into her bed and tucked herself in even though she knew that closing her eyes was going to be a big deal for her that night. She woke up the next morning with a heavy heart and folded her head on the bed for a while thinking about herself and her life in the mansion. After freshening up, she looked at the clock and saw that it was just 6:30 am. She then left her room with the tiny bottle and made her way into Aria's room. "Good morning!" She greeted Aria, who seemed to have woken up earlier and was taking care of her hair in front of her mirror, her skin so pure and her eyes so bright that Maria thought it would be so evil to try to end such a beautiful soul."Morning!" Aria replied cheekily, and after she was done, she ran to Maria and hugged her. Last night was cold. I wished I was out there, I would have gotten myself a good relationship and wouldn't have to feel the way I was feeling last night." She said to Maria. Aria clearly
One week had passed since the incident, and Maria had gotten over the trauma of being placed in a position to poison someone. "You should get my room cleaned after you are done. The other maid did complete trash hours ago." Valentine instructed Maria in the sitting room and walked away. Maria's brows furrowed as she wondered what Valentine had up her sleeves. She just hoped there wasn't any weapon they aimed at her. On realizing what she was thinking, she smiled. There was no way Valentine could murder her in cold blood right in the mansion. The only person to do that was Alejandro or someone else, but it must be under Alejandro's permission.She walked into Valentine's room right after cleaning the sitting room. She cleaned up the whole place even though she didn't think the room was messed up. After she was done, he walked out of the room and proceeded to clean the long passage that looked a little bit dusty due to the people in the mansion walking past it.****"Maria!!!!" Valentin
Aria lay in Alejandro’s arms, her body still humming from the intensity of their night. His grip around her was firm, possessive, as if he feared she would disappear the moment he let go.But she wasn’t going anywhere.Her fingers trailed over his chest, tracing the faint scars that told stories she would never fully know. His heartbeat was steady beneath her touch, a stark contrast to the storm that awaited them outside these walls."You’re awake," Alejandro murmured, his voice thick with sleep.Aria smiled against his skin. "Couldn't sleep."He tightened his grip around her waist. "You're safe here."Safe. She wanted to believe that, but the reality was, as long as Miguel was out there, they would never truly be safe.She lifted her head to meet Alejandro’s gaze. "What happens next?"His jaw tightened, his dark eyes unreadable. "I find Miguel. And I end this."A lump formed in her throat. "And then what?"Alejandro exhaled slowly. "Then, I make sure nothing ever threatens us again."
The scent of gunpowder still lingered in the air as the dust settled. Bodies of fallen men lay scattered across the estate, and the distant sound of sirens reminded Aria that their battle was far from over.Alejandro kept her close, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist as his sharp eyes scanned the wreckage for any remaining threats.Juan, gripping his wounded shoulder, let out a groan. "That bastard got away again."Alejandro clenched his jaw. "Not for long."Aria swallowed hard, trying to steady her breathing. The rush of adrenaline was wearing off, leaving behind the weight of everything that had just happened.Miguel had escaped. He would regroup, and he would come back stronger.She turned to Alejandro. "What now?"His fingers traced along her jawline, his eyes dark with determination. "Now, we prepare for war."Aria’s heart pounded, but before she could respond, a soft groan caught their attention.Valentina.She lay a few feet away, blood pooling beneath her from a gun
Aria's scream echoed through the ruined hallway as the gunshot rang out.For a terrifying second, she thought Alejandro had been hit. But he was still standing, eyes blazing with fury.Instead, Juan stumbled back, a crimson bloom spreading across his shoulder. He gritted his teeth, clutching the wound but refusing to fall.Miguel smirked. "Consider that a warning shot."Alejandro's jaw tightened. His gun was still raised, but now there was a deadly calm in his eyes one that sent a chill down Aria’s spine."You think this is a game, Miguel?" Alejandro's voice was dangerously low, dripping with barely restrained rage.Miguel let out a lazy chuckle. "Oh, it's not a game, my friend. It's a message." He tilted his head. "Surrender now, and I’ll be generous. I might let you keep your life. Maybe even your little pet here." His gaze flickered to Aria, and Alejandro’s grip on his gun tightened.Aria clenched her fists, stepping closer to Alejandro. "If you think he's going to surrender to you
Smoke filled the air, thick and suffocating. The explosion had rocked the estate, sending panic through the halls. Aria coughed, trying to clear her lungs as Alejandro held her tightly against his chest, shielding her from the worst of the debris."Are you hurt?" His voice was rough, urgent, as he ran his hands over her arms, checking for injuries."I'm fine," she gasped, her ears still ringing from the blast.Juan burst into the room, gun in hand, his face set in a grim mask. "They've breached the outer perimeter! We need to move, now!"Alejandro didn't hesitate. He pulled Aria to her feet, his grip firm but careful. "Stay close to me."Gunfire erupted outside, sharp cracks echoing through the estate. The sound sent a shiver down Aria’s spine. This wasn’t just an attack this was an all-out war.Alejandro grabbed a pistol from the table and handed it to her. “If anyone gets too close, you shoot.”She took it without hesitation. She wasn’t just some helpless prisoner anymore she was in
The message from Miguel lingered in Aria’s mind long after Alejandro set his phone down. A cold shiver ran down her spine. This wasn’t just a threat it was a declaration of war.Alejandro’s expression was unreadable, but she could see the storm brewing in his dark eyes. His grip on the phone was tight, his knuckles turning white.“He’s pushing us,” Juan muttered, standing across the room with his arms crossed. “Trying to make us react first.”Alejandro exhaled sharply, standing abruptly. “Then let’s not disappoint him.”Aria’s heart pounded. “Alejandro, wait ”But he was already moving, grabbing his gun from the desk.Juan exchanged a glance with her. “You know him. He won’t stop until he gets the upper hand.”Aria rushed to Alejandro, placing a hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat racing beneath her palm. “We need to be smart about this. If we rush into whatever trap he’s setting, we’ll lose.”Alejandro’s jaw clenched. “I’m not letting him take anything from me.”His eyes burned
The morning sun cast a golden glow over the estate, filtering through the curtains as Aria stirred awake. Alejandro’s arm was wrapped tightly around her waist, his body warm against hers. She blinked, her mind replaying last night’s events the mission, the explosion, and then the way Alejandro had claimed her on his desk like he couldn’t get enough.A small smile touched her lips.But then reality crashed in. Miguel was still out there. This wasn’t over.Aria carefully untangled herself from Alejandro’s grip, trying not to wake him. She needed to think, to plan.She slipped into the bathroom, turning on the shower. The warm water cascaded down her body, washing away the remnants of the night. As she ran her fingers through her wet hair, she heard the bathroom door creak open.A knowing smirk played on her lips before she even turned around.Alejandro stood in the doorway, shirtless, his dark eyes locked onto hers with a heat that made her stomach tighten.“You thought you could sneak
Aria woke to the warmth of Alejandro’s body beside hers, his arm draped protectively over her waist. His steady breathing filled the dimly lit room, and for a brief moment, everything felt peaceful like the chaos of their world didn’t exist.But reality came crashing back the second her phone vibrated on the nightstand.Careful not to wake Alejandro, she slipped out of bed, grabbing the phone. The screen flashed with a message from Juan.“They took the bait. Miguel’s men are moving.”Her pulse quickened. It was happening.She turned back to Alejandro, who was still asleep, his features softened in rare vulnerability. He needed rest. She wouldn’t wake him not yet.After dressing quickly in black jeans and a fitted top, she grabbed her gun and stepped into the hallway, where Juan was already waiting.“You sure about this?” he asked, his expression unreadable.Aria nodded. “They walked right into our trap. We end this tonight.”Juan smirked. “That’s what I like to hear.”The docks were e
Aria walked down the dimly lit hallway with purpose, her heels clicking against the cold marble floor. Juan walked beside her, his face unreadable, though she could feel the tension radiating off him. The moment they stepped into the strategy room, all eyes turned to them.The room was filled with Alejandro’s top men, each one seasoned in cartel warfare. Some nodded in acknowledgment, but others hesitated. She wasn’t just another soldier she was Alejandro’s woman, and her presence in a meeting like this wasn’t common.Juan cleared his throat. “Aria is here because she’s leading this mission.”Murmurs spread across the room. One of the older lieutenants, Hector, scoffed. “With all due respect, why? Alejandro is still in charge.”Aria narrowed her eyes. “Alejandro is recovering. And I don’t need his permission to take down Miguel.”Hector’s lips pressed into a thin line, but he said nothing. He knew better than to openly challenge her when Juan was standing beside her like a damn shield
The ride back to the estate was a blur of panic, blood, and desperate prayers.Alejandro lay in the backseat, his head resting on Aria’s lap, his breathing uneven. His shirt was soaked in blood, the wound on his side deep and angry.“Stay with me,” Aria whispered, stroking his hair, her fingers trembling. “You’re not allowed to die. Do you hear me?”Alejandro gave a weak smirk. “Bossy…”Aria’s heart clenched. Even like this, he was trying to be his usual arrogant self.“Save your energy,” Maria said from the front seat, her voice tense. She kept looking back at them, fear flashing in her eyes.Juan was gripping the steering wheel like he wanted to rip it apart. “We’re almost there. Hang on.”Aria pressed her hands harder against Alejandro’s wound, but the blood kept coming. Her vision blurred. “You promised me,” she whispered.Alejandro blinked up at her, his golden eyes dimmer than she’d ever seen them. “Promised what?”“That you wouldn’t die on me,” she said, swallowing the lump in h
