"Miguel don't do anything stupid!" Jude said to her and she stopped in her steps as though she was trying to respect him. Maya stayed still as she then watched her walk out of the office looking really pissed. She then moved towards the president. "You sure do know how to get on her nerves." He said to her, and she rolled her eyes and tried to get on the seat, but then he stopped her. She couldn't be more pissed as she then stormed out of the office towards hers. While she moved, she feared meeting with Miguel on the way to her office. Miguel was one woman she didn't want to deal with physically. Miguel walked into her office feeling very pissed. To her, everyone was doing everything they could to get on her nerves and she didn't think she was finding it funny anymore. Pained, she had to endure it all through the work day and after she was done for the day, she headed to her house. She walked into her sitting room and turned on the radio. *Sophia Hernandez is allegedly missing, acco
She screamed at them countless times, yet they didn't answer, and with a smirk, she fully stepped out of her car and walked towards them. "I'm not interested in following you, but yeah, I can give you a chance. If you can defeat me, I could try." She said to them and they looked at each other as though they had just heard a joke. Suddenly, they then started laughing. "come on!" She said to them, and foolishly, five of them approached her with their hands in the air, ready to punch her. She stood still and watched as they all leaned very close, and the moment they struck, she bent and backflipped several times. They chased after her even though she wasn't running, thinking she was trying to avoid them, and when they weren't looked at, she targeted their cocks between their legs and gave each of them several kicks down there. "Ahhh!!!!!!!" They groaned in pain as they held their penises but being able to stand straight anymore. She hadn't just kicked them, she had assaulted them so ha
"Miguel please!" He called and chased her out of his office but she didn't answer until she was gone. Jude had to walk back in and start drinking. ****Maria was finding it really hard to cope in the mansion and her only safe spot was Aria. Stepping out of her room in the middle of the night like she had been doing in the past few days, she made her way into Aria's room to talk to her. "Maria!" Aria said hugging her really tight as she then let her into the room. "Did she visit you again?" She asked her shutting her door. Maria walked into the bed and curled up. "No, she hasn't, but I could feel her all over the room. She terrifies me." She said and took a deep breath. Aria rolled her eyes as she wondered why Valentine never came into her own room anymore but would rather go into Maria's to torment her. The next morning, Maria made her way into her room and was stunned to see Valentine sitting on her bed. She almost went crazy as she wondered when this harassment was going to sto
Maria didn't think that Juan was someone interested in love affairs so she got a little bit nervous and tried to get out but he held him really well. After about two hours, she finally got out of his bed and resumed her duties and that got her energized all through the day. Later that evening, she settled in Aria's room, refusing to leave there. Juan was scared for her at the same time and headed towards her own room to see if Valentine had gone there to threaten her again, but when he got in there, there was no one in. On his way out, he bumped into someone and when he looked up, it was Valentine. Instantly, he grabbed her by the throat and hit her so hard against the wall. "Are you that brave? Come on! Fight me!" He said to her. Valentine was so stunned that it took her a while to come to her senses, and after she realized that Juan was actually there to protect Maria, she lost it. "She's just a bitch!" "And you are just a bitch! I can end you right here, and trust me, it won't
Alejandro dodged the bullet like it was nothing and looked up at her. "That was stupid." "Well, at least I didn't double-shoot." She retorted and threw the gun to the floor. Alejandro looked at the floor and could tell that it was now bullet-free. "Are you also here to lecture me on behalf of Maria?" "Why do you want to kill her? What's her major crime?" He asked her without mentioning any names, and when she looked into his eyes, she was clear about who he was referring to. "Just wow! So the other one is now so important to my own man?" She asked him and he rolled his eyes. "Alejandro, what have you and your buddy turned this mansion into? A place of loving the damsels in distress? Are you falling in love with her just like Juan is getting smitten by the other maid?" She asked him and he frowned. "If you hurt that girl, I will never find my sister. I thought you had always meant well to me. You used to be close to Sophia." He said to her and she rolled her eyes. "it doesn't chan
Jace heart ached to know that Aria was in pain where she currently was. He wished Valentine could change her mind, yet he had no idea why he was feeling that way. "Valentine you aren't even faithful to me." He whispered to himself and got up to go speak to her. When he walked into the sitting room, it was easier to spot her. "Valentine!" He called and she looked up from her laptop. "It's been a while. You called me with such a sweet voice." She replied to him, and he was taken aback. "Sweet voice?" He asked himself. He didn't think he was being sweet at all. "I need to talk to you." He said to her, dragged her into her room, and placed her on the bed. "What's all this?" She asked seductively and took out his shirt as she caressed it. "Why do you act like you don't miss me? It's so unlike you." She said and started scratching his ears with her teeth. He stated quiet and after a while and watching her being stupid, he placed her on the bed for a proper conversation. "I would like yo
It was something that happened all the time though. There was nothing to be surprised about. She liked how she was able to get him to bed when she needed it the most. He reminded her a lot about Jace. What she had no idea about was the fact that he already knew a hint about their affairs and, in fact, had heard her calling his name repeatedly. She got into the shower and quickly cleaned up herself. Right after she got out, she made her way into the dining room and noticed that some foods had been served along with several fruits. She ate to her fill and dressed in a swimsuit she then walked towards a special pool made for her and jumped inside it. It took her a while to swim to her satisfaction and right after she was done, she walked into the mansion and looked at the clock. It was 4 pm already. She's had a long day. "I guess I have to check out for a while" she muttered as she then walked into her closet and got dressed. She wore a short royal blue gown that highlighted her beautif
Valentine landed on the bed and was thankful that she didn't get injured. She closed her eyes as she tried to get over what just happened. "I am Valentine. You shouldn't treat me this way." She spat even though she knew that the drug he just took was affecting him just like every other that he took. "I'm smashing the fucking Valentine. Get over it!" He replied and lay on the bed. Valentine looked at him for a while and didn't know if she should regret coming over or not. She liked to see his face. If not, she didn't think she would have any business being by his side. She soon got tired of waiting for him to get a grip on himself for a conversation and got up. "I guess my money will be ready the next time I show up." She then picked up her bag and stormed out. She got into her Bentley and drove to a mall near Hernandez's mansion. After shopping for some clothes and shoes, she then made her way back. The moment she got to the mansion, she packed in the garage and personally took out
The echoes of gunfire had faded, but the tension in the air remained thick. The boat rocked slightly as Alejandro stood at the helm, his hands gripping the wheel with white-knuckled intensity. The salt-laced wind whipped against his face, but his mind was elsewhereback on the deck, back in the chaos, back in the moment Aria was nearly taken from him.She stood nearby, watching him carefully. Despite the exhaustion weighing down her limbs, she refused to let herself rest. They weren’t safe yet, and even if they were, she knew better than to let her guard down. Not with Santiago lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.Jace was checking the remaining ammunition, his face tight with concentration. Valentina was bandaging Miguel’s wound, her movements efficient yet gentle. The cartel enforcer was pale but still conscious, his usual smirk dulled by the pain."We need a plan," Aria finally spoke, breaking the heavy silence. Her voice was firm, but there was an underly
The night was suffocatingly quiet after the chaos. The only sounds were the rhythmic lapping of waves against the damaged boat and the occasional groans of pain from the wounded. Alejandro stood at the helm, his grip on the railing so tight his knuckles turned white. The salt air burned his nostrils, but it did nothing to clear the storm in his head.Aria watched him carefully. He hadn't spoken since the last shot was fired, since Santiago's men had finally been silenced. The fight had been brutal, but they had won at least for now. And yet, Alejandro seemed more troubled than relieved.She took a hesitant step toward him. "Alejandro?"His shoulders tensed, but he didn’t turn around. She reached out, her fingers brushing his arm. "Talk to me."He exhaled sharply, shaking his head. "It doesn’t feel like a victory. We lost people tonight. Jace is injured. Miguel is barely standing. And Santiago, he's still out there."Aria swallowed, understanding his frustration. "But we're alive. That
The night stretched on, the scent of salt and gunpowder still thick in the air. Alejandro stood at the edge of the safe house’s balcony, his hands gripping the railing as he stared out into the darkness. His body was stiff, muscles still coiled from the fight on the boat. Every breath felt heavier than the last.Aria watched him from the doorway, the soft glow from the room behind her casting a faint halo around her figure. She could see the tension in his stance, the weight of everything pressing down on him. Quietly, she stepped forward.“You haven’t said much since we got here,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.Alejandro didn’t turn immediately. He exhaled through his nose, his grip on the railing tightening before he finally spoke. “There’s too much to think about.”Aria moved closer, her fingers brushing against his forearm. “Then talk to me. Let me share the burden.”He glanced at her then, his dark eyes filled with conflict. For a long moment, he simply looked at
The shipyard was eerily silent now, the scent of gunpowder still lingering in the air. Alejandro stood over Santiago’s lifeless body, his gun still warm in his grip. The night breeze rustled his hair, but he barely noticed it.Aria stood beside him, her breathing steady, but Alejandro could feel the tension radiating from her. She had wanted this war to end as much as he did, but the victory felt… hollow.Jace groaned as he approached, clutching his side where blood seeped through his shirt. “I’m just going to throw this out there we’re really bad at having peaceful business deals.”Valentina smirked, tucking her gun away. “It’s the nature of the business, Jace.”Miguel knelt beside Santiago’s body, checking his pulse despite knowing it was pointless. “It’s over,” he muttered, standing up and wiping his hands. “Finally.”Alejandro turned to his team, his expression unreadable. “We haven't celebrated yet. Santiago had men, and they’ll be looking for vengeance.”Aria nodded. “We have to
The tension inside the safe house was suffocating. The air was thick with frustration, exhaustion, and the lingering scent of gunpowder. Santiago had slipped through their fingers, and everyone in the room knew what that meant.He wouldn’t run. He would retaliate.Alejandro sat at the head of the table, his jaw clenched, his fingers tapping against the wood. His mind was already calculating his next move, but there was one undeniable truth gnawing at him.They had lost an opportunity tonight.Jace was lying on the couch, his side bandaged, his face pale. He was still conscious, but the pain in his expression was clear. Valentina was seated next to him, checking his wound with a critical eye.Miguel leaned against the far wall, arms crossed, eyes sharp. His usual smirk was gone. Even he knew this situation wasn’t a joke.Aria stood across from Alejandro, arms folded, her face unreadable. But he could see the tension in her shoulders, the fire in her eyes.“We had him,” she finally said
The night was thick with tension as Alejandro sat at the wooden table, his fingers drumming against the surface. A single lamp flickered in the corner of the safe house, casting long shadows across the room. The air smelled of gunpowder and sweat, a reminder that they were running out of time.Santiago’s men wouldn’t stop hunting them. The ambush at the last safe house had proven that. They barely escaped with their lives.Now, they needed to strike first.Aria sat across from Alejandro, her laptop open, the glow from the screen highlighting the determined set of her face. She was running a scan, her fingers flying over the keyboard. Every keystroke was precise, calculated just like the woman herself.Jace stood by the window, gun in hand, watching the tree line for movement. “They won’t wait long,” he muttered.“They don’t have to,” Alejandro replied, his voice steady. “Because we’re hitting Santiago first.”Miguel, still looking pale from blood loss, scoffed. “You make it sound so s
The tension in the safe house was suffocating. Salazar sat tied to the chair, his face bloodied, his breaths shallow but steady. Alejandro stood before him, his knuckles stained red, his expression unreadable.Jace leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching with cold detachment. Valentina and Miguel sat nearby, their guns resting on the table, ready for use. Aria paced the room, her eyes flicking between Alejandro and Salazar, her mind racing.Salazar had refused to talk.But Alejandro wasn’t finished yet.He knelt down, gripping Salazar’s jaw, forcing the man to meet his eyes. “I’ll ask one last time,” he said, his voice deceptively calm. “Where is Santiago?”Salazar smirked, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. “Even if I told you, it wouldn’t matter. He’s already coming for you.”Alejandro’s jaw clenched. He had expected as much. Santiago wouldn’t take this attack lightly.Jace exhaled. “We need something useful from him, or we’re wasting time.”Alejandro nodded slowl
The safe house felt smaller than before, the walls closing in as the weight of their next move settled over them. Alejandro stood near the table, the flash drive Aria had retrieved sitting in front of him. His fingers drummed against the wood, his mind working through every possible outcome.They had taken a hit, but now? Now, they were hitting back.Jace leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his sharp eyes scanning the room. Valentina sat on the couch, cleaning her gun, while Miguel stretched out beside her, still nursing his wound.Aria stood near the laptop, fingers hovering over the keys.The air was thick with anticipation.Alejandro finally spoke. “What did you find?”Aria took a deep breath, inserting the flash drive into the laptop. “Shipment locations, transaction records, and one very interesting name Ricardo Salazar.”Jace’s brows lifted. “Salazar? He’s Santiago’s right-hand man.”Aria nodded. “Exactly. But more than that, he’s the one running Santiago’s operations on the
The safe house was silent except for the occasional rustle of the wind against the rotting walls. The air was thick with exhaustion, yet none of them truly rested. The weight of what was coming of what they had to do loomed over them like a storm cloud refusing to break.Alejandro sat on the bed, his arms still wrapped around Aria, his face buried in her neck. He had held onto her for what felt like hours, barely speaking, barely moving. Just breathing. Just feeling.She didn’t pull away.Didn’t tell him he needed to let go.Because she knew he needed this.Needed her.But the moment couldn’t last forever.A soft knock on the door made them both tense. Alejandro didn’t release her immediately, though. He lingered, his fingers tightening slightly on her waist before he finally exhaled and pulled back.“What?” he called out.Jace’s voice came from the other side. “We need to talk.”Alejandro sighed, reluctantly letting Aria go. She stood up first, smoothing down her wrinkled shirt as he
