Chapter 11

Johny’s penthouse says a lot about the man himself—cold, sleek, and devoid of unnecessary warmth. The living space was a masterpiece of modern architecture, with walls painted with dull tones. Floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city skyline, but the view felt more like a statement than something to be enjoyed. The air inside carried a crisp sterility, with no personal touches—just expensive furniture, minimalist décor, and a silence that seemed almost important. The study, where Johny spent most of his time, was lined with dark wood and polished steel, the only signs of life being the neatly stacked reports on his woody desk. Even in the bedroom, nothing looks comfy. Just a king-sized bed with black sheets, an untouched armchair in the corner, and a bedside table that held nothing but a clock and a teacup. The entire penthouse felt more like a showroom than a home, as if the man who lived there had no need for anything beyond control and efficiency. The house had i

Chapter 12

Ariel spent the next day recovering, her body still weak but no more pain. The housemaids took extra care of her, ensuring she had everything she needed. Yet, despite their efforts, she couldn’t shake off the brewing anxiety about the upcoming party.Johny had been vague about the details, but she knew better than to assume it was just a social gathering. In his world, nothing was ever simple. By the evening, a knock on her bedroom door broke her from her thoughts. The door opened, and a maid stepped in, carrying a box in her hands. “Madam, Mr. Lucas asked me to bring this to you.” she said, and she carefully placed the box on the bedside table and left. Ariel got up from the armchair where she had been scrutinizing and enjoying the picturesque views through the window. She unwrapped the ribbon; inside was an elegant body-fitted crimson silk dress with a fitted bodice and a high slit that hinted at seduction. It was the kind of dress designed to make a statement, to command atte

Chapter 13

UNKNOWN POV I was all alone in the back of the club; just so I thought. Until I heard a woman screaming for help. At first I ignored, but then again the voice pulled my heartstrings more as it played in my head repeatedly. I got down from my car to take a look at the damsel in distress. I leaned against my car door leisurely, watching as the man was out of control, he just wanted to get down on her so bad— who still force a woman in this era? “Let go of her” I muttered. My sudden utterance was filled with caution and a heart–piercing–fear from both the lady and the man. Quiteness filled the air, only the sharp–breaking–breath of the damsel could be heard clearly. “What……what if I don't? What will you do?” The man blurted with fear, his tone was shaky; his gut betrayed him. A wide grin slowly curved on my lips, I like to be dared. It's been a while since people boarded my line. “What is your belief on living dead?” I asked the man with a calm yet death stare. The que

Chapter 14

The cool breeze carried the scent of blooming roses and freshly cut grass. The distant hum of music from the ballroom barely reached Ariel's ears, as she had been drowned by the erratic pound of her heart, which pierced through the stillness.The arm around her waist was strong and steady. The touch was unfamiliar—yet something about it sent a shiver down her spine.She inhales sharply.The man's scent filled her lungs—sandalwood and musk. Familiar and intoxicating.“Careful, Damsel. Falling into my arms already?” His voice was deep, smooth, and laced with something almost…possessive.Her body stiffened, and her eyebrows squinted at the unfamiliar voice—yet hauntingly familiar to her. She robotically lifted her head, her eyes locked onto his. Sharp and intense.The dim glow of the garden lights cast shadows across his sharp features—strong jaws, piercing gray eyes that seem swooning, and firm, broad shoulders that elongate his chest.Her stomach churned. She knew this man. Or at leas

Chapter 15

Luis jolted awake, his phone’s sharp ringtone woke him up from his restless sleep. He had spent the whole night drinking and thinking of his lost lover; Ariel, about seven bottles of empty beer cans scattered on his small center table. His hand drummed beat, causing him to groan. A glance at the screen revealed Elena. He swiped the screen and brought the phone to his ear. “Come to the store. Now,” Elena’s voice was soft yet intimidating, with no room for argument. The line went dead before he could respond. Luis sighed, raking a hand through his messy hair. He gave a quick glance at the wall clock; it was past three in the afternoon. Pushing himself off the couch, he strode into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on his face. As droplets dripped down his chin, he met his own weary gaze in the mirror before grabbing his toothbrush and scrubbing away the lingering taste of the alcohol. Stepping out, he made his way to the kitchen and yanked open th

Chapter 16

“This is how they're going to burst your brain open if you mess up” He muttered, his voice carrying a serious warning, his gaze deadly locked on Luis; who's heart skipped for a beat. This was the very first time a gun would be pointed at him, and he felt like he was at the edge of crossing over to the land of the death. His mind raged with regret and a desperate prayer that he was only hallucinating; maybe the way he had been thinking about the job he signed up for lately. But his fear didn't last long as it was quickly replaced with disgust, when he heard the statement he made. Of course he knew to be cautious, and if he wanted to add to his cautiousness, he shouldn't have made it an expensive one—pointing gun at his head was a rather serious way, but effective, as it added to Luis awareness of the world he had stepped into. Luis didn't respond, instead he yanked his wrist off his grip, then strode off without looking back. He took slow, measured steps to the metal d

From the top floor, Johny had a clear view of the city—a world he was determined to control.His office was large and elegant, designed to reflect his ambition.

The air carried the scent of expensive cologne and aged whiskey, adding to the room’s quiet authority.Johny leaned back in his leather chair, a satisfied smirk tugging at his lips as he reviewed the latest financial reports.

Chapter 18

In an unknown place in Las Vegas A dull throbbing radiated from Ariel’s wrists, the rough fibers of the rope biting into her skin. Her head pounded, a fog clouding her thoughts as she slowly regained consciousness. She forced her eyes open, only to be met with absolute darkness.~Where am I?~ A mixture of curiosity and danger sparked in her chest. Panic spiked in her chest as she struggled to move, but the coarse bite of rope against her skin stopped her. Her hands and feet were tied. Memories flashed in her head—leaving the boutique, stepping into the car, a sudden force yanking her back, a rough hand covering her mouth, restraining her from screaming—screeching tires. Then nothing.She tried to steady her breathing, but the heavy scent of damp concrete and oil filled her nose. A basement? A warehouse? Her breathing quickened as she tested her restraints. Tight. Too tight. The ropes cut into her wrists with every movement, biting deep.She tugged at her restraints again, ignoring

Chapter 19

The Lucas mansion stood tall, painted pure white, a symbol of power and wealth. Its massive structure stretched across acres of perfectly trimmed gardens, exuding an air of untouchable prestige.At the center of the grand courtyard is a large fountain with flowing crystal-clear water, its smooth and steady flow giving a touch of elegance.Two neatly sculpted lion statues guarded the entrance, their fangs bared in silent warning, as if daring anyone to challenge the empire behind them.The mansion's smooth wooden double doors stood firm, framed with gold details that gleamed under the sun. Two tall pillars lined the entrance, adding to the mansion’s captivating picturesqueness.Inside, the scent of polished wood and fresh lilies filled the air.

Chapter 20

Ten years ago, Johny had wormed his way into Alexander’s ex-girlfriend's heart, behind his back, poisoning what they had with betrayal. It cost him his sanity then; the scars of that betrayal had hardened him; it had turned him into a man of coldness; even the sight of women wouldn't entertain him.And yet, here he was, standing at the brim of another cruel twist of fate. Because now, it was Ariel, the only woman that changed him—that mysteriously softened his stiffened heart.His present wound. His silent torment. The woman who had unknowingly haunted him for years—the one he had spent endless nights searching for—was now about to wear—or had already worn—Johny's last name. Alexander’s phone buzzed.Slipping a hand into his pocket, he retrieved it and swiped to answer. He lifted it to his ear.“Speak.” His voice was calm, but his body had gone still.A brief pause. Then, the voice on the other end sent a shiver down his spine.“Sir, we can’t locate Ariel anymore. She’s missing.”Al
