CHAPTER ONEShirley's POVGiven the choice between lighting my hair on fire and facing Lucas Gambino, I would not have chosen the former. But I had to remind myself why I was here in the first place.For my father. This was for my father.I let out a short gasp of pain as my feet caught on something hard and painful, and stopped in my tracks. One of the dark-clothed men pushed me roughly from behind."Move, woman!"Suppressing the urge to curse loudly, I kept trudging up the staircase. All I could see was a thick, oppressive darkness, as a blindfold had been wound tightly around my eyes. The cloth was scratchy and made my eyes water, but that was the least of my problems.This Gambino man was rumored to be one of the most powerful and most dangerous men in Seattle. I wondered how I would face him without stuttering and embarrassing myself.For my father....I was led into a large room—I supposed, from the loud echoes I was getting. I tried to memorize our turns around the house, in ca

CHAPTER THREELucas' POVI reclined in the driver's seat of my sleek black car, the leather upholstery cool against my skin as I watched the chaos unfolding from inside the strip club.Suddenly, a dark shadow darted out from the alleyway beside the strip club. No, not a shadow. Someone.Shirley McWood.My gaze flickered with amusement as I observed the woman's futile attempt to escape, her form stumbling awkwardly in the tight dress she wore. The light from the street lamps caught her bright red hair in a pretty fashion.Who did she think she was, trying to run away from her debts once again? The audacity of the woman never failed to amuse me.Inside, I felt not a shred of anger, but rather a mild annoyance at her persistent attempts to defy me. She was like a stubborn fly buzzing around my head, refusing to be swatted away.I watched as the woman darted across the street in a desperate bid for freedom, and I made a split-second decision. With a subtle smirk playing on my lips, I star

Chapter FiveI observed from a distance, my silence enveloping me as I attempted to gather my thoughts and find the right words to address him. But his words were a jumbled mess, I could only imagine what he was up to. I struggled to comprehend what he was driving at, unable to grasp the essence of his ramblings.His lips formed the phrase "work for me" repeatedly, yet his smile held a sinister edge. It sent a chill down my spine, a warning that this man was up to no good. My breath grew heavy, each exhale punctuated by a pant."You're unbelievable," I muttered to myself, shooting him a glare as I noticed the mischievous glint in his eyes. The mere thought of being in his presence enraged me, causing my blood to boil and my skin to crawl.I remained silent, allowing him to continue. It's obvious that he was heading somewhere, I needed clarity, fully aware that there was a hidden agenda behind his words. First, it was the club, and now... some sort of personal work with him.His misch

Chapter SevenLucas.There she stood, her gaze piercing through me like a thousand daggers. I had just granted her the freedom to leave for the strip club with no delay, fulfilling her desires as she had so boldly requested. And yet, she hesitated."You may leave now, they will take you to the strip club and any other place your heart desires, unless you change your mind. Although, that will be great. It's your choice to make anyways, really," I informed her, my voice laced with a tinge of annoyance.But she seemed skeptical of my words, causing a surge of anger to course through my veins. I stepped back, observing her defiance.I pondered the enigma of what women truly desire. Even when treated like royalty, they find it dubious. Damn! More reasons to question how to please them."But I explicitly stated my desire to go to the strip club, so why command me to visit other places of my choosing?"Her inquiry grated on my nerves. What more could I do to grant her the freedom to indulge

Chapter NineAs I entered the exclusive VIP room, I heard some noise, unpleasant to the ear. Just then, the sound of laughter filled the air, although the beauty of the place drew my attention in a captivating manner, I couldn't deny the fact that it was beautiful.With further steps inward, my happiness quickly turned into disapproval as the room became filled with thick tobacco smoke, assaulting my senses with its acrid smell. It has a choking smell that can cease one's breath. I wasn't used to it and couldn't take more of it, how were they able to stay in a room filled with it?A cough escaped my lips, causing the room to fall into an eerie silence. The laughter and noise I heard from the background ceased immediately yet, the smoke was making it difficult to breathe or see clearly. I seemed to know what was going on.Curiosity sparked within me as I wondered about the nature of the place, what practice must be going on. "I hope I was directed to the right place"I widened my eyes
