All Chapters of The Valisteen Princess : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Mia's POV Mia stood in the dimly lit corner of the room, clutching the tiny vial of sedative Liam had risked everything to procure. Her heart hammered against her ribcage as she replayed their hastily devised plan in her mind. Every second in the compound was a second too long, and tonight, she would either reclaim her freedom or lose everything trying.Liam appeared at the door, his expression taut with tension. “It’s time,” he whispered. His voice, barely audible, was laced with urgency. He handed her a small syringe. “Are you sure you can do this?”Mia’s fingers trembled as she took the syringe, but her resolve was unshaken. “I have to.”Together, they crept down the corridor, the dim lights casting long shadows on the cold concrete walls. Every step brought them closer to Dylan’s quarters, and every step tightened the knot in Mia’s stomach. Dylan, the man who had held her captive, wouldn’t let her go without a fight. But she wasn’t alone anymore. Liam’s presence, his silent deter

Chapter 24: Building the FoundationThe fight that followed was brutal, a chaotic clash of wills and determination. Mia’s world narrowed to the sounds of shouts, the clang of metal, and the sharp pain of every hit she took. But through it all, she fought with everything she had, her friends at her side.For the first time in years, she felt truly alive. And she wasn’t going to let Dylan take that away.The aftermath of the battle was a haze of adrenaline and exhaustion. Dylan lay unconscious on the cold floor, his reign over. Mia, Mimi, and Lydia stood together, their breaths coming in ragged gasps. The room was eerily quiet now, the weight of their victory settling over them.“We did it,” Mimi said, her voice trembling with a mixture of relief and disbelief.Lydia nodded, her expression grim. “But this is just the beginning. Taking him down was the easy part. Now we have to figure out what comes next.”Mia glanced at her friends, their faces illuminated by the dim light filtering thr

Chapter 26: A Fragile TrustThe stage was set for betrayal upon betrayal, with Mia, Dylan, and the Vagaz twins navigating a labyrinth of deception. As Mia looked out over her expanding territory, she tightened her resolve. Dylan might have been The Devil once, but now? She was ready to claim the title for herself.Billy Vagaz was true to his word. Days after their tense meeting at the docks, he reached out with critical information. Dylan had set a trap, luring Mia into an ambush at what was supposed to be a neutral negotiation with a minor rival gang. Billy’s warning came just in time, allowing Mia and her team to reroute their plans and avoid disaster.Mia paced the length of their headquarters, the tension palpable as she recounted the details of the near miss. “He knew exactly where we’d be,” she said, her tone sharp. “If Billy hadn’t tipped us off, we’d all be dead.”Lydia leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “Maybe Billy’s trying to earn his keep. Or maybe he’s playing a longe

Chapter 28: The Vagaz BetrayalThe air in the headquarters was thick with tension. Mia sat at the head of the table, her team arrayed before her. Lydia’s sharp gaze darted between the map of Dylan’s operations and Billy, who leaned casually against the wall, his smirk firmly in place. Mimi, still bruised but resolute, worked at her laptop, her fingers flying over the keys as she decrypted yet another of Dylan’s communications.“We’ve cornered him,” Lydia said, her voice crisp. “This next move will cripple his supply chain. We hit here, here, and here.” She jabbed at the map with her finger. “He’ll have nothing left to fall back on.”“If we move too soon, we risk tipping our hand,” Billy interjected. “Dylan’s paranoid, but he’s not stupid. He’ll know something’s coming.”“And what do you suggest?” Lydia snapped, her patience wearing thin.Billy’s grin widened. “Let me handle it. I know how Dylan thinks.”Mia’s eyes narrowed. “We’ve let you handle plenty. I need results, Billy, not more

Chapter 30. Back to reality. Emilia De La Vega.End of flashback —-Dylan walked into his office, his head swirling about what he could do to Mia when a loud thud distracted him. He turned towards where the sound came from and saw Liam standing by the door, one hand on his bleeding nose and the other on the door frame. A chuckle escaped his lips, “What shit got up your pants?" He asked mockingly. " That Latina bitch.” he mumbled, walking towards a chair. " Latina?” he asked, confused at what he meant.“Mimi, Mimi Ray isn't her real name. Well, Ray isn't the real last name; she's…she's Latina.” He said, scrambling out the words, and he tried to catch his breath, checking the blood from his nose and wiping it off. Another chuckle escaped his chest. “I thought you liked Latina women." He said mockingly.“Dude, she broke my fucking nose!" Liam yelled.“What did you do or say to her for her to…you know, break your nose. By the way, how did she…do that?” Dylan asked, circling his right
