2025-01-07 16:47:11Unbelievable! Yes, it was unbelievable! How come? Whose idea was it? His heart? His desire for her? Or that little voice in his head that had been shouting at him for so many months to take her wherever he could, however he could? In the end, the case was the same, he had succumbed to her beauty, to her pure temptation, and everything she was made of.
Unbelievable! Yes, it was unbelievable what he did! But it was done and the worst part was that he didn’t regret it, no matter how much he tried to, he didn’t regret it.
Exasperated, Lucian leaned forward in the sink of that luxury bathroom and gave himself a couple of seconds. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and wasn’t able to recognize himself. He was shirtless, with the well worked abdomen exposed. The lines of his face were as perfect as the color of his eyes. What he was experiencing was something that he had never felt before. If only he could close his eyes and get back to California, being in front of his desk, working as always while she was in her room with her son, laughing and invading the house with their happiness.
Once again he closed his eyes. Maybe, in that way, he’d be able to wake up from that beautiful and desirable dream. But all he found was that beautiful image of that woman in his mind.
Like a black widow she was on that bed covered by thousands of thousands of bills, the work was left halfway when he succumbed to her. Just a little of the total percent of her body was covered in black; her breast in the perfect proportion, it was a lucky that they weren’t so big so couldn’t be confused with mountains, her flat stomach, her pair of long legs, her well-cared feet… Everything about her was perfect. Not to mention the sound that came out of her throat at the same time that he saw the way she arched her waist as giving herself to him. She was driving him wild, and he knew it when he couldn’t control himself anymore and tore apart the damn clothing that didn’t allow him to see more. He wanted everything of her, he wanted to enjoy every little centimeter of her, he just wanted to get drunk on her.
Lucian opened his eyes and turned on the water faucet, then took as much as he could and poured it on his face. He shook his head a little and then went to take one of the white towels and dried his face. He was nervous to see her again, yet he knew how to control himself. He was good at it, right?
As soon as he opened the door of the bathroom, he looked inside the room they had booked for the next 15 days that were going to be there. What was his surprise when he found that beautiful woman was no longer on the bed, but on the floor, wearing her white robe and picking up the bills to start her work again! Lucian smiled. It was unbelievable, that woman was unbelievable!
“Mr. Sadharthe?” She spoke.
“Yes, Miss. Madeline?”
“I kindly ask you to give me a couple of hours so I can have the report completed.”
Lucian smiled. He couldn’t believe that now she was showing him that face of hers when he thought he knew everything about her. An actress? Yeah, maybe that profession would work for her as well.
“Don’t worry, Madeline. Take your time,” he sighed heavily. “You know what? I think I’m going to go out and… and have a drink.”
Madeline stood up and without looking at him, she said, “you don’t have to leave your room, Mr. Sadharthe. I’m the one who should leave. I apologize for not finishing my work yet. Have a good night.” And without anything else to say, Madeline took the briefcase with the money and left. For the first time she didn’t care about the money that was left behind.
And once again she’d acted like nothing had happened, just exactly as that day when Lucian kissed her for the first time. Madeline was a good actress, there was no doubt about it. Even Lucian couldn’t believe that Madeline was able to manage herself so well that made him doubt about that night they had spent together for the first time. Was it a dream? Was it a damn illusion? He didn’t know.
Sick of it, Lucian sat on the bed, looking at the bills that covered the floor and those that were the same that covered the bed where he put the delicate body of a goddess. For the first time Lucian Sadharthe had everything. Money, power, the crown, and a queen.
******
In her respective room, Madeline couldn’t believe what she had done. As soon as she closed the door of her room once she was inside, she leaned on the closed door and sighed heavily. She couldn’t stop hearing that voice in her head that told her how stupid she had been for serving herself on a silver plate. But she couldn’t stop feeling that sensation that man left in her skin for every kiss he gave her. First, it was her neck, her collarbone, then he went down a little more. It had been enough with a kiss for her. She couldn’t help but arch when her insides ordered her to do so.
“No, no, I’ve been stupid. You’ve been stupid, Madeline! What the fuck is wrong with you?! He’s your boss, The Boss, come on! What’s wrong with you?!”
Madeline shook her head a little and then continued her way to her bed. What had happened was just a mistake, yes, a mistake as any other, a mistake as the one where she counted wrongly the bills that had been paid to Lucian and she thought 20 bills were missing.
Lucian Sadarthe, yes, Lucian Sadarthe was her boss, a two-faced man who was one by day and another by night. Lucian Sadharthe, a CEO by day and a mafia boss by night. Lucian Sadharthe was best known as Son of Hades. And Madeline had let the Son of Hades come into her depths, where her hell was also burning.
The deal was anything but what had just happened. Lucian was clear enough when he said he liked his business to work perfectly, and the only way it could be possible was not to mix work and private life even if they were living under the same roof. And she was clear enough when she claimed that all men were the same, they just knew how to conquer hearts and then destroy lives, so there was no way she could let another man into her heart.
But everything went down the drain when she saw pure temptation in Lucian’s eyes before he took off his shirt and let her see his well worked abdomen. His tan skin made her blood boil in desire. She wanted him to take her right there, and that was exactly when he tore apart her clothing and stroked her thighs, her waist, and back as he lifted her up and forced her to tangle her legs around his waist as he walked towards the bureau and put her butt on it to allow himself to look at that perfect body of a goddess. Everything about her, every single centimeter in her body was a wonder. Her breast, he never thought that size would drive him crazy, her flat stomach, he couldn’t believe that he would be dying to taste it until his tongue would get tired of it. If so. No man had touched her as he did, not even her ex-husband. No man had made her cry out as The Boss did. No man had made her touch paradise with a single touch. No man’s voice had made her boil her blood as his when he asked her if she was ready to receive him.
Madeline sighed again and then opened her PC to start her work again. If only it was too easy to concentrate on her work and stop remembering things.
Finally the son of a god had found out that he also needed a goddess to feel himself completed. The Son of Hades was finally a God. He had found his queen, his master mind, his last piece, his soul mate, and his goddess. And he was going to put her under his rules, of course, not before she put him under hers.

SCOTLAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM ARKANAS CASINO The next morning came as if nothing had happened when the truth was that everything and more had happened. Everything around her felt different, it was like she’d woken up with Lucian’s cologne in her body, it was like his skin still burned against hers, the warmness of that morning brought a special fire with it. Whatever it was, it had to stop. That wasn’t the deal, but who was the first one to give in? She only had one thing in mind, it had to stop, she needed to stop breathing in his cologne, and stop hearing her own sounds that had filled the darkness of that night where she didn’t have control of herself. Stuffed in a red long dress, Madeline continued her way to the casino where she was supposed to see Lucian since she’d asked about him and they had informed her that Lucian had gone to an important meeting and he couldn’t wait for her anymore. It seemed like it wasn’t going to be really difficult to go on with their lives as they u

But… How did everything start? Some years had already gone by since the first betrayal, yet she never gave up, yet she knew there was someone next to her who was always going to need her and it was for that little person that she decided to go on… Maybe, luck was going to smile on her soon. Friday night, the same routine that never let go of her since she started that new life. It was exactly the kind of life she had never expected to live, but it was always better than knowing her little miracle was going to bed with an empty stomach. She didn’t care about who she was in the past or who she was married to before his damn betrayal, none of that mattered now because the only thing that occupied her mind was knowing she was well hidden so the bastard who did that to her would never find her. Friday night and nothing changed. The loud noises, the music that she couldn't tolerate and its obscene lyrics, the young women who had to wear those black short skirts and white blouse with thre

Walking among the tables, April made sure that all the clients were well served, nothing was lacking because the better service she gave to the clients, the better her own would be. Even if people thought that she worked in that place doing things that were not right for a single mother, the reality was that maApril de a different kind of living. Yes! There were women who were always ready to do an extra job in order to get some more bills, but April was not one of them. Slowly, she learned that every person had a reason to do things that might be questionable for others, and she had to respect that because she also had a reason to be working there even when she was already a mother. Suddenly, darkness and pure evil fell in that place without April herself having seen it coming, a bar that consisted of two floors with the men with a little more money upstairs because if there was something to be said it was that people with a lot of money did not usually go to that bar. So what was

It was always the same story of her life, but the difference was that now there was a fucking bastard who wasn’t going to leave that bar empty-headed. From the mere instant his lascive eyes fell on her, he knew that there was no other woman who could compare to her. There was something about her that drove him wild, maybe it was the way she tried so desperately to cover her breast or her ass without leaving behind her elegance. She was not like the women working there, she was a diamond among stones because while the others were willing to do anything and everything at once just to get an extra tip, there she was, getting offended by the way that bastard had talked to her. Come on! All women were the same, the only difference was in the gap between women who were quick to accept that extra tip and those who played hard to get. On the floor, with tears falling from her eyes, she still had time to think about how weak those tears might her see if that fucking bastard looked at them.

In a hurry, April approached the bar where her friend was serving the drinks. Adele worried at the mere instant she noticed that her friend was approaching in such a way. She didn’t look like the strong girl who was willing to face the whole world in order to get money for her son and make him live in the happiest way she can. “What’s going on, April? Are you okay, darling?” April sighed. She didn’t want to cry, she didn’t want to show her how fragile she was, she just wanted to face the world for her son as she’d always done. But if there was someone whom she couldn’t lie to, that was Adele. “April, what’s going on?” Adele raised her voice a little.April just shook her head. “April, a bastard tried to do something to you?” Adele knew very well that if there was a way to mess up with her, it was by molesting her. April shook her head again. “No, it’s nothing. It’s nothing, Adele.” “Tell me what’s wrong and I swear I’lll kill that bastard who-” “Adele!” A third voice shouted.

As last month, April had gone to her medical appointment but in the same way as the last three times, April had gone alone. Her gynecologist had asked the same question, why isn’t your husband here? And she replied the same, “he’s been working so much. He wants to give the best of the best to our baby.” “But you are one of the richest families in the city.” And with that, the doctor left her speechless. When the doctor understood that he had no right to talk about things he didn’t know, he decided to go to the bottom. Soon, April was gonna give birth to a beautiful baby and she needed to be okay until that moment arrived and, of course, for the rest of her days since her baby was going to need her forever. April agreed and promised the doctor that she was going to be okay for her baby, for herself, and for her husband because if there was something true that was that April loved her husband more than she could love herself. But all of that changed that day when she arrived earlier th

Leona woke up from her nightmare that, of course, felt like a dream since everything started. It is said that what is obtained the hard way is always destined to be taken away the same way. How was it possible that the human being was capable of living in the same emotional and sentimental emptiness in order to have all that he envied in the beginning?Six years had gone by since the last time Leona had seen her friend, the same one who had said a thousand times that she was her friend, the best, the best of all, the best of a group of women who had known each other to the most intimate of secrets.Through Leona’s mind passed those six years that now seemed to be nothing more than years of a past life, a life that she did not want to accept as hers. She finally had it all, she had the last name she envied April so much, she had married her best friend's man and above all, she had managed to conceive the heir to that company, or at least that was what everyone thought.

April was running back and forth while her son just watched her sitting in his chair while he finished his breakfast. If his mother had only arrived earlier, she wouldn't be like this, running from one side to the other. But what little Mateo didn't know was that he was all his mother's illusion, everything she needed to keep her going. The beautiful smile of her son drawn on his face shone brighter than ever, since that little angel was brought into her life as a miracle, she could no longer see beyond that pair of brown eyes where she couldn't help but see the vivid image of that man she once came to love with all her heart. It was unbelievable that all that love she once felt for him would end like that. Of course it was the father of that baby who caused her the worst pain, but that didn’t mean she didn’t love her son any less. In the end, her baby was innocent, that baby of hers never chose to have such a father. That baby of hers had come to life and was grateful for that. Th

ONE YEAR LATER A year was gone in a way so different from what everyone involved knew. So much had happened and to narrate them all was to narrate how life had gone in one year. After Leona was captured by the DEA, several powerful drug trafficking networks also fell. Lucian was taken to the hospital the same way Adel was, there was time to talk about so many things that April still couldn't believe that life had turned out that way. Rose and Levi took the case forward, after Lucian recovered from the beating and the two broken ribs that Leona's men had caused by beating him so badly, he was able to testify along with April, the woman he loved so much. He also accepted his guilt and cooperated with the police in every way he could. Levi and Rose knew what their job was, they also had to proceed with Lucian and April because they too had made many mistakes. Adel also talked about the bad things Leona did. While she was in the hospital as well, outside the police were moving to make he

April started crying in desperation. Her heart had never hurt like that. It was her son who was in the power of that woman. Her son was all she had. “Please, please, Leona, please, don’t you dare to do anything bad to my son. Please, I’m begging you. He’s not guilty! Your problem is with me! Leave him alone!” April begged with a broken voice. Rose and Levi knew the worst was coming, so they rushed to call the police. It was the end. “If you want to see your son alive and say goodbye to your eternal love, come to this address, alone! I swear if you don’t come alone, I’ll kill your fucking bastard!” After saying so, Leona hung up. April yelled, pleaded, but Leona’s voice was no longer heard on the other line. Levi and Rose called the police. They were ready to attack and now they could clearly see that what they had fought for, what they had invested so many hours, so much effort, so many thoughts, was right in front of their eyes. One of the biggest drug trafficking networks was go

When Lucian learned he wasn’t going to any mansion as the three men had said to make him get into the van, it was too late. The darkness of the highway, the mystery of the place and everything as a whole made him realize that they were not going to the house of any mafia boss, but to the outskirts of the city. It was too late. He had no way to run. He couldn’t. His heart started pumping faster. He tried to get off the van, but two men grabbed him immediately, they started fighting with him, they punched him, kicked him, insulted him… But Lucian still fought. Many things ran through her head, but it was always April the protagonist. He didn’t want her to go through more pain. “Leave me alone, you fucking bastards!” Lucian said, trying to punch the men, but he was out of energy that he couldn’t do so much. The pain had dried out his energy. “You won’t go anywhere! Our lady was clear with her instructions. You will regret what you did to her!” One of the men said. Lucian kept fighting,

April was completely heartbroken that her logic didn’t work. No matter how loud her heart kept shouting at her that what Levi was doing with her wasn’t okay, she didn’t have the strength to push him away, she just stayed there, where she was feeling the coldest kiss she’d ever felt. April had no soul, no more love to give, no more hope to keep, no more happiness to hold. Lucian had taken everything with him. Lucian wasn’t any different, he was like any other man ready to stab the heart of a woman who’d just learned to love someone like him. Perhaps, that was the reason why she couldn’t do anything and didn’t want to. If allowing Levi to do that was going to bring her back a little bit of hope, she was willing to be his slave. But what April didn’t know was that she wasn’t the only one who had been betrayed or who was feeling the coldness of absence. In the depths of his coldness and darkness he’d rose; he had no hope, no love to offer, he had nothing aside from chests full of gold c

NEW ZEALANDThrowing the suitcases in the car trunk, Adel forced his sons to get into the car. Neither Mateo nor Lucas understood what was happening there. Suddenly, Lucas’ father changed his mood when he saw a mark on his friend’s back head. Lucas didn’t understand anything. His father was asking questions to Mateo, not many times Lucas had seen him like that, the last time something like that happened was when Adel was still with Leona, Lucas’ mother. They always fought, he always saw them arguing, the servants were there to try to cover up things but Lucas was always more intelligent than anyone to know that his parents didn’t enjoy each other’s company. Maybe that was one of the reasons Lucas never felt sad when Adel told him that Leona and him weren’t going to live together anymore. And now they were in that car, listening to the conversation Adel was having with the airline.Lucas and Mateo looked at each other. “Three tickets to California, United States! I don’t care if the

As Madeline descended to the first floor of the hotel, still with tears in her eyes and her spirits on the floor, her path was blocked by someone's feminine figure. Madeline looked up and realized that the woman looking down at her with a smile of triumph was the same woman who had taken everything from her.“Madeline! Or should I say… April?”April changed her posture and her gaze. She hated Leona, she hated her with all her might. She had caused her the worst pain, but April wasn't the same innocent and naive girl Adel and Leona knew, and Leona was going to be the first one to see it. April didn’t know why but it was always because of Leona that she couldn’t be happy. She didn’t owe anything to anyone, but life treated her as she would. What a small world was that where Leona was the real meaning of her downfall! But Madeline no longer feared her. Years had gone by saving those hard feelings she felt towards her, and now it was time to let her see her fury. She was going to rip o

Bloody tears ran down her cheeks. The same words kept hitting his head. She couldn't believe she was too stupid again to have believed in a man. She even gave herself to a man after she swore she wouldn't do it again. She thought Lucian was different, one of a kind, someone who wouldn't hurt her ever again, someone she thought would arrive to heal her wounds and make her stronger. Madeline, her name was never Madeline, she was just April, the innocent girl whom everyone mocked her all along. She believed every single word Lucian said. There was nothing he said she wouldn't have believed. And now she was there, hating Lucian when she also loved him. What a small world was this where she had to meet Leona's half-brother and fall in love with him. Damn it! She shouldn't have done it! She shouldn't have fallen for him!

NEW ZEALAND Time did not pass in vain, the days, the afternoons, the nights that went by in the same way but leaving behind something more than routine. In the midst of a battle was how April and all that came with her could not help but live. Nothing good had left her being a good woman, a dedicated woman who loved her husband so much, maybe that was what she thought when the deception came, but not too late when she had her baby in her arms she realized that every suffering and tear had been worth it. Then Lucian came along and gave her a new lease on life. And with that life also came the love she never thought she would feel for a man again. Lucian had meant everything for a moment. Even the opportunity he’d given Mateo to grow away from the battlefield his own mother had against his own father. Time didn’t pass in vain and Mateo knew it very well. Three months hadn't gone in vane for anyone. And when Lucian and April agreed that the best thing to do was to put her son in safe
