All Chapters of Blood and Buttercream: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ruby found herself tied against the pole. Some men were walking around, and they paid no attention to her. All she remembered was walking on the road. All of a sudden, she had men behind her, and she felt a handkerchief covering her nose. The rest was blurry. She fell unconscious, and she woke up in this hellish factory.Ruby looked around and tried to see if she would see any familiar features. However, she saw none. She had never been to such a place in her life. One of the men came near her and started to lick his lips.“She is beautiful enough. It is a pity she will need to be killed,” the man said and began to laugh after.“I still think we should ask the boss when he gets back for her. We should all taste what she has got underneath before she is killed. If we don’t take that much, it will be a waste for a lady with such beautiful skin. At least she should enjoy us as well on her way to hell,” another man commented. Most of them began to laugh hard now. Ruby’s heart was pounding

“Jax sprung into action and went to confront the person who shot the gun. It turned out to be some of Donatello’s family thugs, and they seemed ready to attack. They were six, and they outnumbered Jax, and he couldn’t fight them alone.However, he was not afraid. Every day had always been another survival day, and he was always prepared. The moment the thugs were about to attack, backup came for Jax. The men Salvatore had appointed to watch over Alessandro moved in with their big cars. They hit the thugs, with only one of the thugs unhurt. Jax shot him, and he fell. Those who had been hit by the car were injured, and they were vulnerable. Jax rushed inside to find Alessandro. Meanwhile, Alessandro had an issue with the receptionist. According to hotel standards, it was not acceptable for people other than the police to request log records or check customers' information. Alessandro heaved a sigh and stared at the receptionist.“Bring it out now or else; you are going to find out who

On the spot, Camilla made her decision. She would no longer hold lingering feelings for Alessandro, and she wouldn’t permit him to do the same. She would leave his side and stay on her own feet. This would be the best thing to do for herself.She closed the door as quietly as she opened it without letting them see. As she walked away, Jax was in her way. He blocked her path for a second.“I thought you wanted to see the boss. Or, I meant Alessandro,” Jax corrected himself.“I wanted to, but I can see he is busy,” Camilla replied and took a detour instantly. She needed to reach her room to pack up. If this had happened a year ago, she would have cried. However, she didn’t need to know. Ruby had always been Alessandro’s girlfriend right from the time he asked her to pick a gift for Ruby. All through, she had been nothing more than a friend.It was time for Camilla to respectfully leave. Getting to her room, she found out she had nothing to pack. She would have picked up the clothes, but

Camilla breathed hard not once or twice. She continued as she thought she would faint out of fear. Her life had been threatened enough. The trauma of her pastry shop being destroyed still lingered on, but now, she had a knife pointed at her. She was about to freak out.The man wielding the knife knew his game. He had been sent by Antonio, the current mafia boss of the Donatello family. This same man was one of Antonio’s closest henchmen. He was the one who led the kidnapping of Ruby as well. He knew how to make his victims freak out and abduct them without any stress. He was an expert in abduction.But today, he wouldn’t be succeeding because before he could touch Camilla, Jax arrived and punched him. The man was the one shocked now, as he never expected that punch. Jax, being a very good martial artist himself, knew how to subdue such a man. He struck at the man again, but this time, the man could defend himself. He backed off and ran out of the pastry shop while Camilla’s eyes were

“It was the same old thing. Felix would always hit Carmine for the slightest reason when he got drunk, and what could the woman do but to endure? She always claims she doesn’t want to be lonely and that she sincerely loved Felix. She had promised a lot of people to change Felix’s gambling and drinking nature.But Felix ended up changing her instead. Her self-esteem suffered, and her life had changed for the worst. She was a shadow of herself, and she didn’t seem to notice. She was simply drifting away.Carmine already knew how this would go. She would get a few punches and slaps, then she would escape to stay at a neighbor’s place. The neighbor would advise her one more time to call the police, but she would decline. She would head back in the evening and Felix would have sobered up. He will give an apology, and they will have a passionate make-up time together while staying up half of the night due to their intimate desires.It was the same old thing. Nothing new for Carmine.Meanwhi
