|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||
My steps paused in an unexpected shock, staring mutely at his bearded face until some distant road lights flashed across his face. The man was above 50 years old, almost catching my father's age. If my consciousness was caught right, he runs some company in the town. But there was something different, coming from his eyes. It was mysterious, lustful something like that. Although my instinct was pushing me to go away, I stood there numbly to hear the rest of his words. Because I was doomed practically from every corner.
Swallowing, I tilted my head back at him to ask nervously, still wobbling on my knees,
" What.. what do you mean?"
The man gave me a cocky smile which I didn't like. Approaching me closer, he continued in an arrogant voice, tapping on his chin,
" Well, I am the owner of DGK Enterprise. You can become our brand ambassador. Trust me, Azrael can't have his influence on my company."
DGK was a well known cosmetic brand who run different businesses. I heard a lot of negative comments about them but honestly, never thought about working with them. I liked to keep my professional career clean and hazardous. Out of curiosity, I locked the door back, asking him again,
" Why are you trying to help me out? Don't you fear that Azrael's Wrath will fall on you?"
His expression changed color on time. Gritting his teeth together, he spat in a breath,
" No! We are in a bad encounter already. He...he has refused to accept my offer, even insulting me in front of board members."
Perhaps, I got the facts about why he came to me. But did he know who Azrael De Luca was? No! I did fucking no who he was or what he could do to me. Some punk businessmen like him didn't stand a chance against the Mafia King. My father used to tell me that the Mafia King had powers over all the Italy and various states. I would be foolish to think that this man could save me from Luca.
Shaking, I muttered quickly, wishing to get away from here before paparazzi found me,
" I am sorry..I can't think about any collaboration at this moment..I have to leave now.."
It was only a matter of seconds before he caught my wrists, growled his words out,
" Why are you being a stubborn ass?"
My eyes were hardened in disgust, looking down at the hand that caught me,
" Excuse me?"
The man continued with a cheeky smile, his grip tightened around my wrists,
" Come on, Girl! I have been following you for a year. Your assistant rejected our collaboration. In just one night Kiera, I can make you star again. Azrael can't have his influence on my company. You won't believe that I have been waiting for this moment for too long."
My body shrieked in disgust. His touch gave me the urge to be nauseous. A man around my father's age was giving me a proposal to fuck him for one night.
" Let..Go!!", I managed to blurt at the same time, panic creeped through my mind when I saw nothing around. It was an all hell dark parking lot. He didn't let go of me instead pressured my wrist more until I was hurting badly,
" Come to me baby..I can...Ahh.."
He flinched back in pain. I hit him hard across his face with my bag. Before he could catch me back, I spun around to run and shout hysterically,
" Help...help...me..."
I was sobbing, shaking and weak mentally. Never in my life, I faced a rape attempt like this. I heard hasty footsteps behind me. Seconds later, I missed my leg, fell on my knees after getting hit by something. Before I could scream for help again, multiple black cars started to drive inside the parking lot, the sounds of tire rotating were heard in the air.

" Drink!", I felt his presence beside me, his ordering voice without emotions. The earlier incident left a trauma for my body. I was still shivering and shaking like a mess. It was still surreal for me to believe that my destroyer had actually become my savior. An hour back, it was Luca's people who got me out of the situation. God knew how they found out that the guy was trying to assault me. Although, this place was nothing but another hell for me, at least I was saved from a monster's claws.
Pulling my shaky hands up, I clutched the hot glass of water from him. His eyes stayed on me emotionless. I took a gulp and noticed the way his eyes looked at my lips. Awestruck, I returned a bewildering look but he swifted it smoothly.
" What..what are you going to do.. do.. with him?", my voice cracked almost like a whisper. I just saw the man dragging out by his men. After that, there was no trace of him anywhere. Luca smirked, dragging me up by my arms until I was stumbling,
" Come with me!"
My heart sped up vigorously after he forced me through a room, entering another room that smelt like blood. I gasped, stumbling one step back when I saw the man on the floor. Full of blood in his body, several bruises on his face, he was literally groaning in pain.
Luca smirked in satisfaction, suddenly changed his tone to ask me,
" Is this the first time that he has offered you to sleep with him?"
His brows tightened together, a flash of anger could be seen behind those emotionless eyes. I shook my head negatively, replied clutching the corner of my dress nervously,
" N..no..I..I don't.. even.. know him.."
He nodded his head dramatically, his other hand disappeared into his waist to pull out a gun. I watched his movements horrifying, unsure about his motives until he walked next to me. His words came out so calmly as if we were chatting here,
" You have to kill him with your own hands."
" WHAT!!!", I almost cried out in shock, my eyes turning big like tube light. I was a girl who was even afraid of blood let alone taking someone's life. I denied, giving him a hard glare,
" Noo! He..he must be at fault but I can't do this Luca..I am not a criminal like you.. Besides, I didn't ask you to take him here..why the fuck did you.."
" Hush..", his cold finger tips stopped me from speaking further. I watched him panting in anxiety. This man was so unpredictable that It was difficult to predict his next move. His arms slid around my waist, the other hand swiftly passed a gun into my palm. I panicked, trying to drop it off,
" Luca.. what.. what are you.. doing.."
But my little strength was futile against his strength. Before I could dodge him, he held me captive in his arms and forced me to aim the gun at the man.
BANG!
A piercing scream passed from my lips. I could feel that a shot was fired from the gun in my hand. The man let out another howl of pain. When I snapped open my closed eyes, his palm was bleeding. Tears poured from my eyes in panic.
I shot someone..
I killed someone....
His husky voice rang beside my ears,
" I hate the fact that someone else has offered you to become his mistress, Kiera. I wanted to be the only one but he ruined the fun for me."
I turned back to push his chest away. Tears of frustration escaped from my eyes when I screamed my words out loud,
" WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!! I TOLD YOU NOT TO SHOOT..I HATE YOU..I.."
My words were stuck between my throat when he jumped forward to grab my throat. I was suffocating, probably dying under his monstrous grip. His eyes were glowing in rage. I didn't see who it was but someone came inside running into the room, with urgency,
" LUCA! WE HAVE FOUND THE GIRL THAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR!"
|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||He just left.....After imprinting a forever haunting dream of shooting someone in my mind, he left without words. His dogs followed him hurriedly. Cluelessly, I remained there, shivering. A few guards were left behind who showed no pity on me. That man kept begging for mercy but who was I to forgive him? I was sure that Luca didn't give a shit about me. After all, I was his play tool only.As soon as the door was closed, I stumbled, backing out to fall on the chair. Only that time, I got some reaction from the guards," Miss..."One of them approached me, uncertain about how to touch or grab me. He spoke pretty politely," Are you feeling good?"I hummed, massaging the back of my head," I...I..am..fine..."How could a human feel fine after shooting a person for the first time?It felt crazy to recall the moment. Thankfully, the guards took him away from here, allowing me to breathe properly. I had no idea for how long I had to stay there but Luca was going
|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||Another lie! Another attempt to strip me down from my position!Did these people think that I was so naive to believe in their lies?That girl was choking on her breath. She dared to lie, looking straight into my eyes. She deserved death but not before telling that who sent her for me. She coughed vigorously, stammered her words out shakily," I..I.. didn't..lie..."I groped her chin hard. She flinched in pain, eyes gathering tears in fear. I shouted at her face, asking for a damn answer," Tell me the fucking truth! You said that you had C-section? Where's the scar? Where's the scar, bitch?"Her eyes went wide, realizing that she had fucked up with her own plans of lying. She pressed her lips tightly without giving me any answer. Something dangerous gleamed from her eyes. I knew at that exact moment, she was someone from my rivals or else none of this fucking bastards had the powers to look into my eyes.Out of nowhere, she stretched her arms out to grab th
|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||A new beginning...Or A new walk to destruction...I was here to seal the deal with the devil, to submit my soul so that he could turn me into ashes. Tears blurred the vision of his haunted house in front of me. It was 3 a.m at night already. Surprisingly, I didn't know how I arrived at this place without any fear.Inhaling another deep breath, I walked into the entrance numbly, my legs wobbling all the way into the house. Matteo was heading outside. A look of surprise flashed across his gaze when he saw me. He asked, nodding his head politely," Where did you go, Miss? I was going to look for you.. Luca..He seems angry over you sudden disappearing. "I didn't care about his thoughts. My father was in the hospital and nothing else mattered to me. Skipping his questions, I blurted out of my breath," I want to talk with Luca. Can you..can you.. take me to his room?"His eyes slightly widened at my request. After coming here, I never visited his bedroom. It was
|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||" Do you touch yourself?", his voice grew the goosebumps over my skin. I felt like a caged animal, trying to find my way out. Although I kept my eyes shut tightly, I could feel his dominating presence. He was enjoying my obedient demeanor.I obliged his words, now lying on his bed. My legs were parted for his view. Swallowing hard, I could feel the intensity in his eyes." No..I.. never..did..", I sutured, licking my lips dry. All this dirty talk was turning me on. I hated to know that he could excite me." Then do it..I want to see you..", he spat like an order, giving me a long stare. My cheeks got hot within a moment. I had never done this before. Especially in his presence, it was too shameful to do it.I refused, shaking my head weakly," N..No..I... don't know.. how to..Ahh.."I cried out in surprise when he pulled my ankle down unexpectedly. His cold touch awakened the dirty desire inside me. He kept my ankles wide apart, gritted his words out huskily,
|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||My defense got weak against him...He referred to Ryan when he talked about my little secret. Ryan was the only one secret in my life. He knew it very well. Perhaps, he had also known that I could use myself as a shield against a bullet for Ryan. So, he wanted me to know that he was on control of everything. My little body stiffened hard at the thought of seeing Ryan cry.I brought myself strong, replied after sucking a deep breath," Go..Got it..."His eyes narrowed with a gleam of victory once again. Releasing his arms from my waist, he replied in a deep voice," Good! Now, GET OUT!"__________He wanted me 'OUT' as soon as I acted being obedient. I could be a brat sometimes but when it comes to Ryan, I could do nothing. But the smug look on his eyes when he made me 'cum' was still lingering in my thoughts. How could someone can make me disgusted and craved at the same time?I kept squeezing my thighs together in front of the mirror table whenever images fr
|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||The entire hall went silent around me. I could already tell that Anastasia was smirking at me. Maybe, she had already seen through how fucked up our relationship was. A bowl of bucket water froze me as soon as his words fell out," Miss Stevens is very beautiful. It's an honor to feel attracted by her."I blinked a few times in disbelief. He got with the answer just like that, confident, arrogant and creepy. It was something like he was already prepared for the tricky questions that those reporters made for him. Now, I was more convinced that he was the lead of the Mafias.Murmurs from those witty girls broke my attention from the TV. In a snap of the moment, their attitude began to change towards me. Their gazes told me that they were scared of me now.Power..Money..That all could do to you.."He is interested in you surely.", Jk spoke shaking his head slightly with a smile. I just returned a stiff smile, unsure about how to react because I never wanted to b
|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||I was hating some facts about her. First of all, she was becoming my possession, a guilty pleasure that I couldn't ignore at any cost. It made me mad when Jack told me that she was seeing her ex. Oh come on! I had everything money, powers. Did she think him better than me?I kicked the door shut, startling Jack who was acting clueless behind my rage. Well me too! Deep down, I wanted her to see me only. Fuck! I should have included it in our contract. She couldn't see any man except me but I wasn't her boyfriend. Why would she listen to me at first?Matteo bowed to my present, notifying me after gesturing at a closed door," She is there, Luca! "The rage was all returning. Clenching my teeth hard, I barged inside my room to find her on my bed. She wasn't even startled to hear the door slamming. I guess, she was slowly adapting to my lifestyle." Looks like you had fun tonight!", I voiced, staring at her sober face. Those times whenever she entered my place,
|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||I barged for the outdoors, stumbling all the way to my parking car. His guards kept shouting behind my back," Miss..Miss..you should at least inform, Luca!"I jumped in the car, and the sore feeling between my thighs returned, reminding me of our passionate encounter. Looking at those running guards, I showed them my middle finger. They could just fuck themselves. My son needed me there. Even if I had to break a thousand rules, I would be there for him.Stepping on the engine, I drove back for home, breaking his order again.________The hall downstairs was full of mascara. Broken things came to my attention as soon as I stepped my feet into the hallway. Maids kept chasing behind him. My son kept throwing things here and there. Since Dad was staying in hospital, it was even harder to control this little monster.Ryan was a special child. It wasn't like he had autism or other health issues. Two years back, he witnessed a terrible accident very closely. Ever s
