Chapter 1

Before the clock even strikes 5 early in the morning, the Evening City Garden club was already closed as the workers were busy cleaning after another messy yet thriving night. Within its private rooms, women after women were retiring for the day after their night duty. One of them was Shantala Vien Arceo, who dashed away from her assigned room upon hearing that her youngest brother was waiting for her at the backdoor of the club.This was the first time that her brother came to her workplace even after she strictly told her family members not to go there whatever happens. Worried about what was going on, she got out of the club and dragged her brother away before anyone who knew him would see them there."How many times do I have to tell you that you are forbidden to come here? If you want something, then you should have called me," she scolded Lance. "You know that I do not want any of you getting harassed because of my work."Lance, who was in his senior year in high school, heaved

Shantala took her time walking on that aisle as she tried her best to simply look at the priest waiting for her arrival. She did not like the attention she was receiving because it somehow felt like she was still in that strip club she was working in with all the eyes of men on her. The faces in her peripheral view were only a few but all unfamiliar, especially the man waiting by the end of the aisle. What's more... Her heart was pounding like crazy that she was afraid it would break out from her rib cage. Even when she tried to take deep breaths to calm her nerves, it was ineffective. The sound of the violin being played echoed in the large church but it was overwhelmed by the fast-beating heart of Shantala. With every step, she walked towards her destination while her will of wanting to run away grew stronger but the thought of her sister being in her shoes made her waver. Getting involved with a mafia was already something one should avoid, thus, getting tied with one through a sa

Shantala woke up alone in a room where she could oversee the beach that was stained with fiery orange coming from the rising sun. She had been asleep like a log for the past night. Feeling a bit sore after what happened between her and her new man, she took her time getting dressed before leaving the room, hoping she would see Hyperion by the living room or by the kitchen. But much to her disappointment, there was no one else but silence in the beach house.With the emptiness that suddenly came dawning on her, she started to think that what just happened was simply a dream. That thought triggered a pang of pain in her chest but she still tried to tell herself that the wedding and their first union were real. She was about to go outside but she noticed the yellow note pinned on the refrigerator door."Urgent business. Will be right back as soon as possible," she read. Just below the small note was a name, Hel. Shantala thought that it was probably the real name of Hyperion. But inste

Shantala shuddered at Klauss' claim but she would never want to show that she was still afraid of him. It was for this reason that she knew he would be glad to see that she could still be under his full control. If he sees that, he would make use of her again and history repeats itself. It would be another nightmarish experience for her.Thus, she squared her shoulders and held her head high. "You do not own me, Klauss. What we had back then was nothing but a relationship in vain. I do not want to stay here any longer so just tell me what you want and let us get this over with."Klauss simply snickered as he leaned back on his seat without breaking eye contact with her. He must admit that he still liked how hard she tried to act tough when in fact, he knew that sooner or later, that façade she was building around her would collapse. It would only take a few tries of sweet-talking and he would make her surrender to him like how he did it in the past."I am going to look for your siste

"That's my sister's name," Shantala stated, pretending to be confused at the sudden call of Hyperion of her real name.She saw how the crease on his forehead went away and was changed into a sweet smile. It gave her a shower of relief seeing that she managed to evade that close exposure of the truth. Just as she thought, this man had sharper senses so she truly needed to be careful with both her actions and words."Well, you once told me that she was always away from work. Are you disappointed that she did not attend our wedding?" he asked.Shantala shook her head without saying another word. She just felt like if she commented on his statement, she might get exposed in no time. But in her mind, she said, “You actually married me so, of course, I attended.”Hyperion simply nodded before going behind the counter and filling a glass of wine. He stared at Shantala as he took his first sip and once again noticed that she seemed to be spacing out. He could not tell what she was thinking bu

Shantala stood quiet after and she was thankful that Hyperion did not press her any further about that matter. Only silence ruled over them while she pulled out her hanky and offered to cover the wound of the mafia to stop the bleeding. As she was doing it, she could not help but steal glances at the side profile of Hyperion who was now nothing alike to the man she saw at the altar during their wedding.Knowing that he was this mad upon discovering the truth that she was not Stacey, she was convinced that Hyperion truly had sincere feelings towards her younger sister. She could have still approved of their relationship if it made Stacey happy, however, the fact that Hyperion was a mafia made her disapprove. Not only was he doing illegal business but just like what happened to them a while back, Stacey could be caught up in his troubles against his enemies. That was something she did not want her sister to face. She did not raise her to face such kinds of dangers and would die at any

Hyperion watched Shantala walk towards his bed and sit on the edge."Come on," she said with all seriousness as if she was just asking for some dessert. "We're still married so it isn't wrong. Besides, we already did it before so there is nothing wrong with doing it again."Hyperion could not believe what he was hearing so he remained quiet and simply stared at her with disbelief. He did not know how to respond because first and foremost, he was in no mood to have sex. And second, the woman inviting him was not Stacey so he was not at all aroused even though Shantala looked exactly like her. He could not help but think how audacious she was to offer herself to him.Shantala rolled her eyes. "Don't act like you did not enjoy doing it with me at the beach. Doing it on the bed makes no difference... just minus the sea breeze and sounds of the ocean waves."Now that he was reminded of that and realized that he did enjoy it with someone besides Stacey made his ears burn red. He had not eve

"We can have a three-day vacation in Maldives," he added.Hyperion's proposal was rather out of the blue it took a bit of time for Shantala to process his words. She was sure that he did not really like her, especially since she managed to fool him during the wedding. But after a minute, she snorted."You are kidding me, right? That is not really a honeymoon but a simple cover-up for whatever real intention you are hiding," she said.But even though she had the feeling that the mafia boss was planning something, she still walked in his direction to show that she was interested. She did not even hesitate to sit on his lap and put her arms around him before looking directly into his ever-alluring eyes."So, what exactly are you planning, hm?" she asked.Just as he expected, Shantala knew that he was up to something. He smirked and clipped a few locks of her hair behind her ear before pulling her closer to him. Knowing that she was a woman whom he could just wrap around his thumb, the id

The next day, Shantala woke up without Hyperion in the mansion again. It was actually a relief for her because if she had seen his face, her day would have been ruined in no time. She was still mad at him for looking into her phone and for teasing her afterwards. He even had the guts to sleep so well that night.After getting all dressed up, she headed back to the Evening City Garden Club and met with her boss for another request. "I'm sorry, Shantala, but I do not keep guns and bombs and whatever you are looking for. Owning those kinds of things is illegal for a person like me. But I know someone who does," her boss said before returning to counting her money.She did not want to go to Maldives unprepared, especially since she had a strong feeling that Hyperion was planning something. Whatever traps he set up for her, she would fight so she needed some weapons."Who?" she asked.Her boss smirked and, as prying as she could be, she leaned forward while chewing her gum."Why do you wa

"What the hell is wrong with all of you? Let me out of here!" Shantala banged the door as hard as she could, hoping that Hyperion's men would come to their senses and let her out.She had no idea of what was really going on. All she knew was that they suddenly barged into the restaurant where she was working and took her away without saying anything. And upon taking her back to the mansion, they locked her up inside the master's bedroom. But since she had been yelling for a while and no one was responding to her, she decided to give that up and took her phone instead. She was about to call Hyperion because for sure, he was the one behind this. She wanted to know the reason why she was being detained but a realization hit her."Oh, yeah," she muttered, "I do not have his number."Just then, a thought crossed her mind that made her eyes widen and her nerves grew cold. Biting her nail, she could not help but worry that Hyperion had come to know that she was trying to get ahold of some w
