Her legend began when, as a child, she took her own mother’s life. Trained to be her father’s deadliest weapon, she used her beauty to disarm enemies, leaving none alive.

Chapter: The End
Five Years LaterLunaria's POV I was dressed in a black gown with a bouquet of fresh roses held in my hands. I stood in front of his tomb, feeling lost and empty. It had been 5 years since he died, but I still hadn't gotten over his death. When he had died, I didn't really care, but now that I realized I wouldn't be able to see him again, I began having the desire to have myself wrapped in his arms once again. I missed him so much- I sincerely did. If someone had told me my life would be so empty without him in it, I would have argued blindly. That man was my everything and I didn't even know. He was my knight in shining armor, my protector, my lover and father. He had shown me love, but I didn't even reciprocate the feeling till he died. I should have saved him then- should have tried my best to make sure he survived. And when he told me he loved me, I shouldn't have doubted him- should have just told him I loved him too. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I gently placed the flow

Chapter: She's Back
Lunaria's POV“You have been the one…. all along?” My voice shook as I rose to my feet. “Yes, my child. It has been me,” he responded with levity as if his obsession for power hadn't done more harm than good in my life. “Don't call me that!!” I screamed at him. “I'm not your child. If you ever considered me as your child, you wouldn't have hurt me back then and you wouldn't still be thinking of hurting my grandson!!”“You justified all your actions and inactions on the fact that your father hated you…. chose your brother over you. Maybe the old man was wise enough to know you would turn out this way, that's why he didn't choose you to be his successor,” I lashed at him. “Do you know how many people you have killed all because of your thirst for power? Do you know how much pain you have caused me? You took my daughter away from me, sent her to kill me and you have the audacity to stand there and call yourself my father?” I asked, my heart gripped with pain as my eyes welled up with

Chapter: The Queen is Here
Selene/Lunaria’s POV Vanessa, who both Liam and Mum told me they had no idea of her whereabouts, was casually strolling into their mansion, as if that was where she belonged. Lies upon lies. Just when I thought I was getting over the revelation of the day before, another secret struck me hard like lightning again. Though my life with my father was hard, since I left his roof, life just kept getting harder for me. At that moment, I wished I hadn’t run away from my father's roof. “Maybe if I had continued to be the obedient Mafia Queen, who cleaned up her father’s mess...... just maybe my life would have turned out better,” I thought as I sat in the car, with my eyes moistened with tears. Life was really unpredictable. The same man I had broken our gang rule for, the same man I had gone against my father for, was the same one who violated my daughter and was inside of that mansion, plotting against me. Why did everyone around me keep betraying my trust in them? Vanessa-

In the small, starkly lit police station, Stephanie sat, facing her daughter who was handcuffed. She gazed at Sophia with a sorrowful expression as her face, lined with concern, guilt and helplessness. She blamed herself for her daughter’s condition and suffering. “How did it come to this?” she had thought as she reminisced on the decision she had made in the past.

After driving for hours with no destination in mind, Ellie finally made her way to Cheetahs. She sat at the bar with her swollen eyes, staring blankly at the vodka the bartender had served her. The club was lively and rowdy with music blaring from the speakers, almost deafening her. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, but she was the only one who wasn’t. She looked around the bar and everything had changed from what it used to be when she worked there. There were new faces around and all the old folks she worked with were nowhere to be found.

Chapter: A Twist in the Bloodline
Carla’s POV. “What ...... what did you just say?” my voice shook, and my eyes widened in disbelief. I was still trying to process the shock of what I heard when a voice emerged from the darkness. “Just exactly what you have heard” a terrifying masculine voice replied, sending a chill down my spine. I could hear slow, deliberate footsteps approaching me from behind. Immediately Susan heard the voice and saw the being, she collapsed onto the floor in sheer terror. It was him – our subject of discussion. Finally, the footsteps stopped. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. Summoning courage, I turned around to face him but instead of one, I was met with three familiar faces- Aunt Stephanie, Carlos and Catherine. That time around, Catherine wasn’t sitting in her wheelchair- she was standing on her two legs, and it was then I realized that they had all been in the game together right from the onset. Their expression was unreadable, and their gazes were masked wit

Chapter: The Man I Never Knew
Carla’s POV. "What… are you saying? What do you mean you’re carrying Carlos’ child? Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?” I stuttered, finding it hard to wrap my head around her confession. “I know it’s hard for you to believe Miss, but I am telling the truth. I have been his sex toy for quite a long time” she whispered, lowering her gaze in shame. “Wait, are you being real right now? You mean you and Carlos have been having something together behind my back?” My voice shook, with a mix of disbelief and anger. Hesitantly, she nodded her head, biting her lower lip as if she were afraid of my reaction. “I didn’t do it on my own accord – he forced me. I sincerely wanted to tell you, but I didn’t know how to inform you that I had been sharing your man with you all along. I am sorry”. My heart pounded violently at her words. I felt numbness overpower my strength and I staggered, holding onto the rail for support. So, Catherine wasn’t the only one he cheated on me with? Ano

Chapter: The Bloodline's Secret
Carla’s POV. I was seated on the bed that day, looking at the pictures of Catherine, which I had taken in secret, meeting with people from Carlos’ company. I was trying to see if I would be able to find anything suspicious which I could use against her. Just then, my phone rung and it was a call from the person I least expected. At first, I didn’t want to pick up the call but eventually I did, wanting to hear her out and hoping I would be able to get the evidence I needed from her. Upon picking the call, the receiver’s end fell silent. She neither made a sound nor spoke. I instantly became worried- thinking that something had happened to her, or she was in some kind of danger. “Susan, are you there?” I calmly asked, wanting to confirm if she was still with me. But she still didn’t say anything. I stayed on the call for some minutes, hoping she would say something when she was finally ready. Tired of being left hanging, I threatened to hang up on her. “Call me when you are

Chapter: The Birth of a Huntress
Carla’s POV. The days that followed were hell for me. I woke up every single day blaming myself for being the cause of their deaths. Although I wasn’t the one who poisoned or pushed them off the rooftop, I was still indirectly involved in their deaths. “If not for me, they wouldn’t have died. If Catherine doesn’t hate me, they would still be alive” I kept on telling myself every day. Day by day, Carlos became distant. He barely came home and whenever he did, he was always drunk to stupor. He became a nuisance and stopped going to the company. Uncle Chris had to fill in his position at the company, just to ensure everything ran smoothly.He refused to bury them, hammering on the fact that he needed time to accept that they were finally gone. I had approached him on several occasions, requesting us to talk but his response was always: “I have nothing to say to you”. After that encounter, Susan resigned and left the mansion. I wasn’t even aware of that until I heard it from one o

Chapter: Unveiling the Monster
Carla’s POV. “You may leave now” Aunt Stephanie instructed Susan, who was still on her knees, crying. Sluggishly, she rose to her feet and made her way to the door but before she stepped out of the room, she looked at me. Her eyes were filled with regret and longing. There was heaviness in them – a silent desperation for my forgiveness. Tears escaped her eyelids, slowly trailing down her cheeks – tears of the apology, she couldn’t bring herself to say. And with that, she walked away, never looking back. “You are lucky that Carlos intervened in this matter. If I was left alone to decide what to do with you, I would have made you rot in jail forever. Like Carlos said, go and never come back. I never want to see your face in the house again, you bitch!!” Aunt Stephanie roared. “Let’s go, Catherine. This murderer isn’t worth our time” she further said, grabbing the wheelchair handle, ready to wheel Catherine out of the room. “Can you go ahead first, Aunt? I would love to have a c

Chapter: The End of Us
Carla’s POV. Finally, the door creaked open, and Aurora stepped in, with Susan trailing behind her. Susan hesitated by the door, her eyes fixed on the ground, avoiding everyone's eyes. “Come in” Carlos commanded, gesturing for Susan to walk in. She obeyed and stood in front of Carlos. “Now, face her and repeat all that you had told me in her presence” he ordered, his gaze not leaving Susan’s face. The look in Susan’s eyes was full of guilt and fear which hinted that she had already chosen her side. Before she opened her mouth to talk, I had already known where that was going to end. Susan swallowed hard; her hands clenched in front of her. She let out a heavy breath before she finally looked up at me for the first time since she entered. The betrayal in her eyes said it all. That she wasn’t on my side – she never was. “I ... I” she stammered, taking a pause before she continued. “I poisoned the food. Miss Carla told me to do so. She never said the drug would make them die.
