THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS
On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Nyx’s world shattered. Her parents celebrated her twin sister and ignored her entirely, a final insult after years of coldness and favoritism. Humiliated and aching to escape, she walked straight into Basque—the city’s most dangerous club.
There, under flashing lights and the pull of reckless music, she caught the eye of a man everyone feared—the ruthless mafia boss who owned the night. One drink, one touch, one reckless decision… and by morning, he was gone.
A month later, Nyx learned that she was pregnant. Her family’s rejection turned vicious, and she was cast out with nothing but her shame and the child growing inside her. Six years of struggle followed—cheap apartments, dead-end jobs, and a daughter who became her only reason to fight.
Then fate threw him back into her life.
A chance encounter. A cold stare. A card pressed into her hand.
Days later, tragedy struck—her little girl was left clinging to life after a hit-and-run. Desperate and out of options, Nyx went to the only man who could save her… unaware he was the father.
His price?
"Give me your body,and I'll give you money"
Now, Nyx must decide to sell her body to the devil who destroyed her, or watch the only person she loves slip away. But in the shadows of power and lust, nothing is as simple as a deal. And the devil always collects more than you owe.

Chapter: When hunger clouds visionGabriel's PovMorning came quiet and cold. I sat behind my desk, smoke curling from the cigarette between my fingers.“Elena,” I called. “Bring her in.”Moments later, the door opened. Nyx walked in, chin high, eyes sharp. Still stubborn. Still angry. I can see that she hadn’t learned her place yet.“Sit,” I ordered.She didn’t move. Of course she didn’t.I leaned back, watching her like a puzzle I already knew how to solve. Then I turned to the woman beside her. “This is Elena, my housekeeper.”My gaze shifted back to Nyx. “And this,” I said slowly, “is Nyx—my… guest.”The word tasted ironic, but I liked how it made her flinch.“Elena,” I said, “treat her well from now on.”The woman nodded quietly.“You can go now.”The door shut behind her. Just the two of us again.I looked at Nyx, hands folded, voice calm. “This is your fate now.”She clenched her jaw.“In ten days,” I continued, “Renz will be sent to Malachi. You may not know this, but Malachi despises him. Deeply. He’ll make Re

Chapter: To survive the monsterNyx's PovI lay still on the bed, staring at the ceiling. My body felt heavy—like the weight of the world was pressing me down. I’d been here for hours, lost in my thoughts, trying to make sense of everything that had happened.So much had changed in just a day.Too much.My heart ached for Renz. God, I fucking love that man.It had been hours—hours of crying, breaking, thinking, and trying not to feel. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw him. The man I love more than my own breath. The same man I might have to betray to stay alive.I let out a shaky laugh that sounded more like a sob.The room smelled faintly of dust and rain. My cheeks were stiff with dried tears, my chest heavy. I wanted to believe things would somehow get better—that he’d walk in and we’d escape together. But that kind of hope was deadly.Renz will survive whatever they’re doing to him. He’s too strong not to. But even if he does, what then? To bring our life back from this mess… it would take a miracle.And if

Chapter: The girl who wouldn't flinchGabriel's Pov“Take him to the cell,” I said coldly.Ricardo turned, gave a sharp nod, and the men moved to obey. But before they could drag Renz away, Maria’s voice cut through the silence.“We might be forgetting something.”I turned to her. “And what’s that?”She stepped forward, eyes sharp. “If Renz is being locked up like the stray he is, there’s still one threat left—Marco.”Her words drew my attention. She was right. Marco had always been loyal to Renz. Letting that man roam free was dangerous.“I’ve already sent men after him,” Maria added. “They’ll find him soon enough.”“Good,” I said simply. “Make sure they don’t fail.”Renz groaned weakly as two guards lifted him by the arms. His blood left dark stains on the floor, trailing behind them. He was barely conscious now, just a broken shadow of the man he once was.They carried him out into the cold morning, down to the godforsaken dungeon beneath the old estate. That place was perfect—a hole for men who deserved to rot.“He’ll

Chapter: And it all fell down!Ricardo's PovWhat thrilled me most wasn’t the money, or the power...No. It was knowing Renz could lose everything he’d built. Every brick. Every breath of pride.Since Maria told me the plan, something inside me woke up again. I’d been half-dead for months, but revenge… revenge is a drug. It got me walking, thinking, waiting for this day.The day I’d watch Renz crumble. Maybe even beg—with that woman of his beside him. Ha. I could already see it.Gabriel had done his job well. I’ll give him that. He found Renz’s house before any of us. The place was big, quiet, and clean. A perfect house for a man who thought the past couldn’t find him.I glanced at my watch. It was almost dawn. Gabriel was taking too long and my patience was burning out fast, Maria looked just as drained. She didn’t say it, but I could tell she was done waiting too.Then—speak of the devil. His car pulled up. Gabriel stepped out like he owned time itself. I didn’t bother saying a word. Just gave him a cold stare and

Chapter: I hung, watching you bask in your failureRenz's PovThe morning light slipped through the curtains, soft and quiet.Nyx’s head rested on my chest, her breath warm and steady. The world felt still—everything felt peaceful.Then my phone rang.I ignored it, grumbling under my breath.It rang again.Nyx stirred, mumbling, “Why don’t you just pick it up?” Her voice was sleepy and soft.I kissed her forehead. “You’re awake?”She nodded without opening her eyes.The phone buzzed again, louder this time. With a sigh, I reached for it on the stool beside the sofa. “What’s going on, Marco? Why the hell are you calling this early?”His voice came through, rough and breathless. “Renz… things are bad.”My brows furrowed. Marco never sounded like that. He was the calm one—the man who could walk through fire without flinching.If he sounded scared, then this wasn’t just trouble. It was chaos.I sat up slowly, careful not to wake Nyx fully, though she was already watching me now—her eyes alert, reading the tension in my face.“Talk to me,

Chapter: The feast of betrayalGabriel’s Voice:The dinner table was long and quiet, lit by warm golden lights. The sound of silverware was soft, but no one was really eating much.“It’s done,” I said, a slow grin tugging at my lips. “Everything Renz owned—his clubs, hotels, the whole empire—it’s mine now.”I looked up at Malachi from across the table and added with a grin, “Ours.”Malachi didn’t smile. He just sat there at the head of the long table, cutting into his steak with calm precision. His silence was heavier than a gun barrel.“The shares we agreed on will be transferred to your account soon,” I said carefully.Across from me, Ricardo leaned back with a faint smirk. “I must say.Your lawyers are impressive, Malachi. Honestly, I had doubted it could even be done.”Malachi’s knife tapped against the plate. He looked up, his eyes cold and sharp.“I’d rather you had stayed dead,” he said flatly, “than doubt what I can do.”Ricardo’s jaw clenched, and his smile disappeared.Maria let out a low chuckle, trying t

Chapter: My attitude is twice your heightAria's PovLately, happiness came easier to me. Winning Top Brand of the Year for the second time felt like a crown on my head, It proof that the girl everyone once mocked had burned her scars into gold. But what thrilled me most wasn’t the award—it was the fact that Liam Brooks, of all people, had been there to watch me shine. The same boy who once spat disgust in my face had now been forced to clap for me with the rest of the world. If that wasn’t payback, I didn’t know what was. Would I ever forgive him? I didn’t know. But I was certain about one thing—I wanted nothing to do with him. When I first saw him that night, the urge to deny him was instinctive. To look him in the eye and pretend he was a stranger—God, the way his expression faltered fed me like oxygen. It was nourishing, intoxicating. That night, Mum and Kollin—no, Dad, because that’s what he’d become to me—took me out to celebrate. They clapped when the waiter brought out champagne, laughed when I toasted to “being n

Chapter: She's not the girl I knewLiam's Pov I couldn’t breathe when she walked away from me—like she hadn’t even recognized me. Aria Scarlett Monroe. No. Aria Nobody. That was who she used to be. A shadow, a footnote, the nerd with ink-stained fingers and hair she tried to hide behind. But the woman who just brushed past me in that glittering gown? That wasn’t the girl I remembered. That was someone else. Someone untouchable. And to think she said she doesn’t recognize me… damn, that was humiliating.” And then the stage lights hit her. Her name was called, and the hall burst into applause—cheers that rolled like thunder. I sat there, frozen, my chest twisting, my hands clapping even as shame clawed at my throat. She stood on that stage, radiant, crowned as the top brand designer of the year. Every inch of her glowed with power and grace, like she was born for this moment. It should have been a triumph for me too. My palms stung, and so did my pride. I was clapping for the same girl I once called ugly—only tha

Chapter: Past meets powerAria’s POVThe silk of my dress brushed smoothly against my skin as I adjusted the gown, its lines falling exactly as I had designed it—sharp, timeless, and commanding. Tonight was not just another gala. Tonight was the haute couture awards, the highest stage in the world I had fought tooth and nail to claim. I walked through the studio, my fingertips grazing the mannequins clothed in my latest collection. Bold cuts. Intricate embroidery. A whisper of rebellion stitched into every seam, I exhaled slowly. My work. My voice. Once upon a time, I had been the girl too afraid to even look people in the eye. But tonight, I'm the woman the industry will bowed to. Last year, they had crowned me the Top Designer Brand of the Year. And tonight, I intend to prove it had never been luck. When I was satisfied with every detail, I returned to my dressing mirror. I smiled as I watched my reflection stared back—no longer fragile, no longer broken. Seven years had carved steel where weakness use

Chapter: Karma's coming Liam's Pov London had hardened me. The late nights buried in economics, the endless lectures about mergers and acquisitions, the luxury parties where men twice my age shook my hand with fake smiles—it had all left a mark. But when I had finally returned, the city no longer felt the same.I wasn’t just Liam Brooks anymore. I'm now the heir to my father’s empire, the man who would carry the Crownwell & Brooks name into a new dynasty.But of course, Father wouldn’t hand me the crown so easily.“Manage the departmental store first,” he had said, his voice stern with calculating eyes. “Prove you can build from the ground before you inherit the sky.”At first, I raged against the condition. A billionaire’s son reduced to running aisles of clothes and perfumes—it felt insulting. But I swallowed my pride, took the reins, and worked harder than I ever had. And it paid off. Sales tripled in less than a year. Yet still, I was only the man behind the curtain, not the face they applauded. And tha

Chapter: A stage for HumiliationThe ride home felt like walking through shards of glass. My body still ached, my mind replaying every second of last night, twisting it sharper each time and I wanted to explode. When I pushed the door open, Mom was waiting. Her arms were folded, her eyes furious and worried all at once. “Aria Scarlett Monroe, where the hell were you last night?” Her voice cracked with anger. I tried to stand tall, to swallow it down, but the moment her gaze locked on my swollen eyes, my trembling lips, and the way I clutched myself like I’d shatter—her expression softened. Her anger melted into fear. “Baby… are you okay?” And that was it. The wall broke. My knees buckled. I tried to hold it in, but the tears. “Mom,” I cried, my voice breaking into pieces. “I… I messed up. Something happened—last night—Something I can’t take back.” She pulled me into her arms before I could finish. “Tell me. Whatever it is, I can take it. I’m here.” My words spilled between gasps and hiccups, messy and

Chapter: Cruel heatI woke up in the morning from the sound of a running tap, the first thing I felt was pain. A dull ache between my thighs, my head throbbed like it had been split open. My whole body ached, tender in ways I had never felt before. The taste of alcohol still bitter on my tongue, but it was the heat of my skin—the phantom touch—that made me stir. I blinked against the strange ceiling above me. The room wasn’t mine. The sheets smelled unfamiliar, faintly of cologne and smoke. My hair was a tangled mess, spilling across my face. Strands stuck to my lips, others covering half of my vision. For a moment, I couldn’t even see properly, the world still spinning. Panic spread inside me as I sat up slowly, the heavy blanket sliding off my bare shoulders. And then it hit me. Last night. The drinks. The dancing. The boy. My stomach twisted. when I realized I was naked. Completely naked. I sucked in a breath, clutching the fabric to my chest as my heart crashed against my ribs. But the
