Last Updated:
2023-12-06 01:00:35I stood outside the grand ballroom of the Charity Gala, taking a deep breath to steady my nerves. The venue was opulent, filled with people dressed in exquisite gowns and tailored suits. I began to walk up the steps towards the entrance. Dressed in my simple black dress, I felt like a small fish swimming among sharks, but there was no turning back now.
“Your invite, madam,” said the guard at the entrance.
Startled, I scrambled for my phone and pulled up the email with the invitation attached. I made sure to favorite the email so that way I would not have to search for it through the muck of spam and promotions from different companies that had

“I’m sorry, but... did you say that I would be singing?” Phillip, a short flamboyant older gentleman gave a sheepish grin as he waved his hands. “Oh,” he laughed out. “Did I forget to mention that?

On the night of the gala, Abaddon watched as Aurelia nervously entered the grand venue. Her face fell in awe at seeing the place adorned with elegant decorations. She had dressed in a simple but elegant black dress to most, but to Don it was a garment that begged to be ripped off her body and thrown to the corner of his bedroom. It was a floor length off the shoulder dress that hugged her thick and seductive curves as if it were on a mission to draw attention from every man in the room. And when she walked the slit in her dress released the bountiful thigh that he remembered wrapped around his neck only nights ago. Usually, he would deny the invitation to attend. He would send a large donation instead of his presence. But this time, he reconsidered. He had decided to attend the charity gala after

In the day that followed their encounter at the charity gala, Abaddon found himself in uncharted territory. He was a man accustomed to power, control, and getting what he wanted, but with Aurelia, it was different. He could not simply demand her attention or buy her affection like he was used to doing with other women. His mind was consumed with thoughts of her, and he found himself in the opulent setting of his office. The air was thick with the aroma of high-end cigars and the smooth taste of expensive bourbon. Abaddon, exuding an air of calculated coldness, sat in his leather chair, puffing on a cigar, while Axel, the playful jester, lounged across from him.

“You don’t know your worth,” I sang aloud, pointing my broomstick at Stitch. The black and white dog was curled up on my loveseat, laying atop a pillow. He was in the middle of a nap but decided to still pay respect to my concert by opening a single eye and giving a wag of his tail. “Finding someone you know will put you first! Find someone who loves you at your worst” I continued as I swept my living room. Today seemed like a good enough day as any to do a little cleaning, so I decided to do so to keep my mind occupied. Last night was a crazy one. I wante

As the soft glow of the evening sunbathed Melissa's cozy living room, I settled comfortably on a plush couch, surrounded by memories of our lifelong friendship. Pictures of our adventures together adorned the walls, capturing moments of joy and laughter we had shared since childhood. "So, spill the tea, Mel," I teased, a playful glint in my eyes. "What's been happening in your oh-so-exciting life?" Melissa chuckled, playfully nudging me. "Oh, you know, the usual. But I want to hear about you and this mysterious man who has caught your attention."

I sat on my cozy living room couch, a swirl of conflicting emotions clouding my mind. After hanging out with Melissa in her apartment, I was stumped. I had promised my best friend, Melissa, that I would think things through before contacting Abaddon. I had felt a connection like never before, but now doubt gnawed at my heart. Melissa had been both excited and about my encounter with the enigmatic man. "It's natural to be cautious, especially after what you went through. But do not let fear cloud your judgment. Give him a chance, Lia. You deserve to find happiness. You are stronger than you think, Lia. And you have me and our friends to lean on if things get tough. I say go for it!"

The night was cloaked in darkness as Abaddon and Axel navigated the dimly lit alleyways, their footsteps muffled by the eerie silence that surrounded them. Abaddon's cold, calculating eyes scanned the area, taking in every detail with a precision that sent shivers down the spines of those who dared cross his path. Axel, on the other hand, wore a twisted grin, his eyes gleaming with a manic light as he twirled a dagger between his fingers. As they reached their destination, an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Abaddon's demeanor grew even colder, his ruthless nature coming to the fore. This was a night of Mafia business, and he knew that emotions had no place in the world he inhabited. His heart was like a stone, impervious to any semblance of compassion or remorse.

Abaddon, typically a man of few words, was unusually receptive, his eyes fixed on Aurelia, taking in every detail of her presence. Aurelia smiled, feeling the weight of Abaddon's attention.

“Explain,” he hissed. “Now!” “It’s all their fault,” Axel snitched. “Jez and Dex cornered me after our meeting threatening me if I didn’t tell them about Aurelia. Then they forced me on this goose chase to find and follow to see if she were a threat!” Dexter's frustration grew, his features contorting with a mix of irritation and anger. “Ya have got to be kidding me! Ever heard the saying snitches get stitches? How many do ya want?” “Oh, go back to Britian”, Axel snapped. “Ye lickarse! One little look and you fall over ya self?” “I’ll deal with you both later.” Abaddon then turned and began to walk towards the three women before Dexter grabbed his arm. “You’re really going to confront them?” The trio of women, blissfully unaware of the looming confrontation, continued to enjoy their night out.

In a room where shadows danced like ghosts, a table dominated the center, and five chairs surrounded the table, but only three figures gathered around it. At the head, Abaddon exuded an aura of cold authority, his dark gaze locked onto the files spread before him. To his left sat the towering figure of Dexter, a man of imposing strength and silent intensity. To his right lounged Axel, his cynical smirk contrasting the gravity of the situation.
