SEVASTIANUnder the disguise of teasing her, Celestina has no idea how many times I fuck her in my mind. Standing so close to her, I could see her enormous buns rising and fall and fuck it. I fucking want to feel it and squeeze it with my own hands. As I continued to feast my eyes on her, I felt my crotch tighten up. Her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders, dampened slightly by the humidity, framing a face that was almost too perfect to be real.Her skin glowed, flushed pink, whether from anger or embarrassment, I couldn’t tell. But it was her body curves sculpted by the Gods themselves that held me captive. She stood there in front of me, wearing nothing but two pieces of fabric that did absolutely nothing to hide the sin beneath.I leaned casually against her, my bare chest exposed, and watched her with a mix of fascination and hunger. My gaze traveled lower, shamelessly taking in the delicate slope of her shoulders, the arch of her waist, and the way her thighs pressed toge
SEVASTIAN“You allow me to fuck you but refuse to submission?” I asked, my voice low and laced with challenge, my eyes locked on hers. “Isn’t it the same thing, mia cara? Giving yourself to me is like admitting you’ll be under me.”Her lips curled into a sharp, mocking smile as she leaned in closer, her intoxicating scent clouding my senses. “Honey,” she said, her tone sweet yet cutting, “Fucking is different from submitting. We fuck because we desire each other and slaves to our lust. But submitting?” She scoffed like a dagger meant to wound. “That will never happen.”Her hand reached up, encircling around my neck, her fingers brushing lightly at the back of my hair before she tugged me closer to her. Her breath, warm and inviting, clashed with mine as our faces were only inches apart. She didn’t say a word, she just stared at my eyes. I couldn’t help but to tease her. “So,” I murmured, my lips curving into a grin, “Are you admitting you also desire me?”Her smirk deepened, a dan
CELESTINASevastian was beneath me, his dark eyes fixed on mine with an intensity that made my breath catch. His bare chest was a masterpiece of sculpted muscle and smooth skin, glistening faintly under the soft light. His broad shoulders seemed carved from stone, his defined abs a stark reminder of his raw strength. He wasn’t wearing anything on top, just his black pants that hung low on his hips, teasing me with the barest glimpse of the V-cut that disappeared beneath the waistband.Damn him.He smirked like he could read my thoughts, like he knew exactly how much of a distraction he was. I hated it. I fucking hated him. Hated how maddeningly perfect he looked, sprawled there beneath me with that devil may care attitude, as though he owned me.“You look like you’ve got something to say, sweetheart,” he drawled, his voice a deep rumble that sent a shiver down my spine.I rolled my eyes, forcing myself to focus on his infuriating smirk instead of the heat radiating off his body or
CELESTINAI woke up alone. The sunlight streaming through the curtains stung my eyes, and the stillness of the room left an unpleasant hollow in my chest. I bolted upright, my heart thudding, and scanned the space. No sign of Sevastian. Not even the faintest trace of his scent or warmth.The absence of his presence shouldn’t have bothered me, it didn’t, I told myself. But the tightening in my chest betrayed the lie. I shoved the covers away and swung my legs off the bed, frustration already prickling under my skin, That’s when I saw it.A Louis Vuitton bag, neatly perched at the foot of the bed, taunting me with its designer logo. I was about to reach it when suddenly I came to a halt when I saw my reflection on the mirror full of red marks. A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I ran a hand through my tangled hair. Of course Sevastian Ortega always had to leave his mark, even in his absence.“Huh. What am I to him? A possession? A bed warmer?” I hissed to the empty room.Anger boile
SEVASTIANThe morning had barely broken when I found myself seated in the cold, sterile office of El Marino, my patience growing thin as a strand of hair ready to snap.I had left Celestina asleep in the VIP suite of the Triton Club, I could vividly remember how her chest was rising and falling in a peaceful rhythm. For a fleeting moment, before leaving, I stood there, observing her and watching her sleep. She looked so serene. Innocent and calm like a saintess who’s peacefully sleeping in the forest without any worries. And because of that, it made it harder for me to leave her than it should have been. I want to stay there for a minute longer, to see her face when she wakes up. However, the call I’d received demanded my immediate attention.Now, the warmth of that moment felt like a distant memory.The current situation here is not quite good. Someone had dared to sabotage our shipment in Russia. It was a bold move yet so foolish. Do they think I will let it slide after they rui
SEVASTIANI reached the parking lot and it was the dimly lit who welcomed me. The halo of orange light casting eerie shadows on the sleek black paint of my car.I moved slowly, while thinking the weight of Roman’s call was still heavy on my shoulders. Celestina, burned the club the same day that our shipment in Russia was attacked. “Huh!” I scoffed. What a dirty scheme. Did the Valeztina father and daughter really think they could trample the Ortega’s so easily because of the union we made? They clearly underestimated us. Well, it’s time to show them exactly what it means to make the Ortega’s their enemy.I reached for the door handle of my car, but suddenly a voice stopped me cold.“Ortega.”I turned, my jaw already set in irritation when I saw the owner of the voice, was Donovan. He stood a few feet away, his posture too calm for my liking, his expression unreadable.“What is it?” I snapped, my voice made a low growl.There was a fleeting hesitation before he asked, “Is she r
DONOVAN I watched Sevastian leave, his arrogant strides and the mocking edge to his smile still grating against my nerves. "She was a virgin when I took her last night."It shouldn’t have mattered. I shouldn’t have cared. But the sheer confidence in his tone, the way he claimed her like she was some prize… it grated against my every nerve.I let out a sharp breath, running a hand through my hair. Damn it. Why did it bother me so much? Was it jealousy? Rage? Or just the bitter taste of failure knowing I had been close to finding her all these years, only for Sevastian to claim her before I could?My hand moved to my pocket, retrieving my phone. I dialed a familiar number, my thumb pressing hard against the screen as though it could ease my frustration.“Winston,” I barked as soon as he picked up.“Donovan,” he drawled, his tone both amused and cautious. “What’s got your temper flaring this time?”“It’s Celestina Valeztina-Ortega,” I said, cutting straight to the point. “What’s wit
CELESTINAI sat behind my desk, the quiet hum of my office filling the air as Bianca, my loyal personal assistant, walked in. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor, each step a reminder of the world I now controlled, and the world I was still escaping from.“Ma’am,” she started, her voice steady but laced with concern, “Your husband, Sevastian Ortega is using every resource to find you.”I barely looked up from my laptop screen, instead bringing my wine glass to my lips, savoring the smooth burn as the red liquid slid down my throat. A smirk tugged at the corner of my mouth. I’d been expecting this.“I know,” I replied coolly, keeping my eyes on the screen. “But he won’t find me.”Bianca's expression tightened, though she remained silent. She knew I didn’t say things I didn’t mean. But I also knew she must have her doubts, because not everyone understood what I was capable of.Everyone seems to know I was just merely a flower to be displayed but that was a lie. That wa
CELESTINAA gentle touch brushes against my face, it was light and careful.I felt the warmth spread through me, it was so familiar that I felt so hurt. Slowly, I opened my eyes and for a moment, everything was hazy and blurred. But I didn’t need a perfect vision to know who stood in front of me.“Found you,” she said softly, poking my cheek like she used to when I was little.I blinked as I adjusted my vision until the haze cleared. There she was, the same woman I used to see when I was a child. The woman who appeared in my fragments of memory and fading dreams. A phantom I once believed was just a trick my mind played to comfort me when no one else would.I shot upright, my breath catching in my throat, and without even thinking, I threw my arms around her.God… I clung to her like I was drowning and she was the last thing keeping me above water.I don’t understand. I didn’t understand why my eyes were suddenly burning, and why my shoulders trembled, or why I felt like something
VALERIAAfter Celestina found out the truth about our father, and his connection with the Ortega's, something inside her shifted. No, not just shifted. She changed completely.The weight of it was too much. Knowing that Jack Kostov, a notorious Russian mafia figure with his hands in nearly every syndicate imaginable, was not only our father but also tied to the Ortega family. Even I, who heard about it, makes me tremble. Because I also know how powerful that man is. No, he’s no longer human but a devil in disguise. His works, his business are all in-human. It is widely known how that man was haunted by the government yet they couldn’t even put him in prison because Jack was also protected by some governor, mayor, and even some personnel in police. That’s why he was known as the King of Mafia’s. Some of them admired him and other’s hated him, he had so many enemies yet he was still alive for some reason. And I knew, just like how I felt. Celestina also felt the same, we’re twins a
SEVASTIANIt’s been three months since I followed Hector all the way to Celestina’s apartment, and I still remember every second of that night like it’s carved under my skin.There are memories that blur over time, yet it’s still vividly reminding me that Celestina doesn't trust me or see me as her husband. I clench my jaw tight as I recall how her hand gently touches his face. I buried myself in alcohol hoping it could lessen but none of it eases the one I felt. Rather, I felt more resentful and hated everything that came into my mind. That night left a mark, and no amount of distraction or alcohol could scrub it clean.“You seem to be lost in thought,” Aunt Priscilla said, her voice slicing through the fog in my head. She sat beside me on the long velvet couch like we weren’t waiting for a goddamn lunatic to walk through the door.I barely turned my head. “Isn’t that normal these days?”She raised an eyebrow but said nothing.“He’s coming today,” Natasha chimed in from across the
CELESTINAThe silence felt unbearable.Victoria sat motionless, except for her hands gripping the blanket on her lap so tightly I swore the fabric would tear. Her knuckles had gone white, and the quiet weight in the air gnawed at my chest like a slow, twisting knife.Then Valeria broke the silence that consumed the whole room. “There’s one thing I want to know.” Her voice was low but sharp, different from what she usually sounds. That even I, was turned to look at her and startled by her sudden shift demeanor. Victoria lifted her gaze. Her expression didn’t shift, but something in her eyes flickered like she already knew what Valeria might ask. “Who is our father?” Valeria asked.The moment the words left in her mouth, I saw a raw reaction which I hadn’t anticipated. Victoria’s entire body stiffened, her shoulders rising slightly before trembling like a leaf clinging to a dying branch.It is the same reaction of fear and feeling I felt when I was inside of Neo secret room. “Don’
VICTORIA“Do you think this woman could make it out alive?” Celestina’s voice cut through the fog of my unconsciousness like a jagged blade. It was sharp, blunt, and cold.“She’s breathing,” Valeria murmured beside me, her voice softer, tinged with restrained concern. I felt her touch against my arm. It was light and careful as if she didn't want me to wake up. My brows furrowed as a faint sting throbbed behind my eyes. My lids felt heavy to open, but I still forced them open to see the faces I thought I would never see again. The moment I opened my eyes, the world around me came into slow. There they are, my daughters, my own flesh and blood staring at me like I am some kind of dead person who came back alive. Valeria sat close beside me, she was calm but watchful, her gaze scanning my face like she was looking for signs I’d disappear again.And Celestina stood just behind her, her arms crossed, and her jaw set with that same fire I used to carry in the field.“You sure are we
JACK I sat in the backseat of my car, fingers tapping against the armrest, my patience thinning with every second that passed. The air inside was thick with the scent of tobacco and leather, the slow-burning cigarette in my hand smoldering between my fingers.The night was calm, deceptively so, but my instincts had been sharpened by years of this game. I knew better than to trust stillness.Then the call came.I answered without a word."Boss! Two women came and rescued Victoria! They're heading toward the shore!"I inhaled deeply, the cherry of my cigarette glowing red-hot in the dim light.Two women.I already knew who they were.A slow smirk curled on my lips."Then let them run," I said smoothly, flicking the ash off my cigarette out the window. "There are plenty of ways to get my muse."Victoria…My muse.My obsession.My fucking addiction.I could still hear her moans, the way they used to tremble between gasps, half pleasure, half defiance. She was the only woman who had ever
CELESTINAThe wheel twisted beneath my grip as I swerved the boat around, the engine roaring in protest. The waves crashed against the hull, spraying saltwater across my face, but I barely registered it.We were going back.We were going to save her.But before I could focus on the plan forming in my mind, Valeria’s voice cut through the wind.“Before I leave to save Victoria, there’s something you need to know.”Something in her tone made my stomach drop.I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. “What?”She exhaled sharply, as if bracing herself. “Victoria… she’s our biological mother.”My hands tightened around the wheel so suddenly that my knuckles ached.No.That wasn’t possible.It couldn’t be possible.The coldness spread through me, seeping into my bones. I thought—no, I assumed—that when Valeria called her “Mom,” it was just desperation, a slip of the tongue in the heat of the moment. But now…I felt my chest constrict.“Liar,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the
VALERIA‘I already knew that you already know that I was your biological mother. Please don’t tell Celestina about it—not until I finally leave.’Her words kept replaying in my mind, digging into my skull like an old, rusted knife. So she knew. She knew I had figured it out long ago, yet she still played along with her lies, pretending as if she was nothing more than our ruthless mentor, our manipulative leader.And now, she was leaving us?“Valeria! Don’t space out—keep moving! We have no time!” Victoria’s sharp voice cut through my haze as she yanked me forward, dragging me out of the house and into the night.Gunfire erupted behind us, bullets ripping through the air like vengeful spirits. The enemy was closing in, their relentless footsteps echoing against the rocky terrain.We ran.Through the dense trees, down the slope, and into the hidden cave.Inside, a speedboat sat waiting at the water’s edge, its sleek frame rocking gently against the tide. Celestina jumped in first, immed
CELESTINAA heavy silence filled the room as I stared at Victoria.I had made a promise—one that I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep. But there was something clawing at my mind, something I needed to confirm.Victoria had always been a mystery, a woman wrapped in shadows and deception. But the way she hesitated, the way her body tensed at my question—there was something more she was hiding.And I intended to find out.I took a deep breath, locking my gaze onto hers."But on one condition," I said firmly. "I will promise to take care of Valeztina if you take off your mask right now."A sharp intake of breath came from beside me."No!" Valeria’s voice cracked with something close to panic. She took a step forward, her grip tightening on her gun. "She shouldn't there must be a reason why she""Aren’t you curious what she looks like?" I interrupted, cutting her off with a quiet, piercing question.She froze.I knew Valeria. Knew how her mind worked. Knew that despite everything, she was curiou
