TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES

~ LAUREN'S POV ~

"Lauren, don't do this." Ethan's voice stopped me as I started to stand from our table.

I turned back to face him, seeing the desperation in his almost-green eyes. "I have to go, Ethan."

"No, you don't." He stood too, his chair scraping against the café floor. "You always have a choice. You can walk away from this madness right now."

My phone buzzed again with another message from Alexandro, and I could practically feel his impatience radiating through the screen.

"You don't understand," I said, my voice strained. "This is my life now."

"It doesn't have to be." Ethan stepped closer, his voice urgent. "Lauren, listen to me. Alexandro's world doesn't just change people…..it breaks them. It destroys everything good and pure until there's nothing left but violence and fear."

Something cold and ugly twisted in my chest. "And what exactly do you think you know about his world?"

Ethan blinked, taken aback by the sharp edge in my voice. "I know enough.

    BLOOD AND VENGEANCE"Some men hunt prey. Others hunt predators."~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~The fluorescent lights of the federal interrogation room had given me a headache that felt like someone was driving railroad spikes through my skull. Three hours of the same questions, the same accusations, the same pathetic attempts to connect me to crimes I hadn't committed.Agent Hendrick had tried every trick in his playbook—good cop, bad cop, silent treatment, aggressive confrontation. None of it worked because I had been playing this game since before he knew how to properly hold a gun."Your warehouse explosion killed three men," he had said for the hundredth time, leaning across the metal table like closeness would somehow make me confess. "We have evidence suggesting this wasn't an accident.""Then arrest me or let me go," I had replied each time, my voice never changing tone or inflection. "Your evidence is circumstantial at best, and we both know it."The leaked video they had received wa

    FEDERAL GAMES AND BROKEN RULES"It's a fine day to kill somebody."~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~{One Hour Earlier}The afternoon sun beat down mercilessly as Mario and I approached the hospital entrance, my mind focused entirely on getting to Lauren. Viktor's threatening phone call still echoed in my head, and every second away from her felt like a lifetime.Then I saw them.Federal agents appeared from unmarked vehicles like predators circling wounded prey, their movements blended and deliberate. The media vultures weren't far behind….news vans screeching to a halt, reporters spilling out with cameras and microphones ready to feast on whatever drama was about to unfold."Mierda(," I muttered under my breath, instinctively raising my hand to shield my face from the camera flashes that had already started popping like fireworks.Mario immediately stepped in front of me, his charging frame blocking the worst of the photographers' assault. "Back the fuck up!" he barked, his voice carrying enoug

    THE DEVIL'S DINNER TABLE"Your boyfriend can't save you now, princess."~ LAUREN'S POV ~My heart thrashed against my ribcage as I stared at the threatening text from the unknown number, my hands trembling so violently that I nearly dropped my phone."Your boyfriend can't protect you from everyone, princess. Some monsters wear familiar faces. Sweet dreams. - A friend"I was about to text Alexandro when one of my colleagues burst out of Rosette's hospital room, his phone pressed urgently against his ear."….reporters everywhere," he was saying, his voice carrying down the sterile hallway. "News vans are parked outside and Alexandro Castello is here. The feds are with him."My heart stopped.Alexandro was here? And why were there federal agents involved?I whipped around to face Antonio and Luca, desperate for answers, but they looked just as confused as I felt. Their usual stoic expressions had cracked, revealing genuine concern."I'll call the boss," Luca muttered, already reaching fo

    BETRAYAL RUNS DEEPER"What you get for getting involved with a crazy rich guy like Alexandro."~ LAUREN'S POV ~"Why the hell are you busy playing with your bodyguards when we've all been waiting here like idiots?"Lilac's shrill voice cut through the hospital lobby like nails on a chalkboard, her designer heels clicking impatiently against the polished floor as I approached with Antonio and Luca flanking me.The entire team was clustered near the reception desk, their faces ranging from annoyed to openly hostile. Lilac stood at the center like a queen holding court, her perfectly styled hair and crisp blazer screaming authority she'd never earned."We could have been done with this visit and back to our actual lives by now," she continued, her voice dripping with condescension.Vanessa rolled her eyes so hard I was surprised they didn't fall out of her head. "Oh please, Lilac. She's literally one minute late."But I wasn't really listening to their complaints. My attention was scat

    BLOOD AND PROMISES"Hello, son. Did you miss me?"~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~The voice on the other end of the line made my blood turn to ice, every muscle in my body coiling like a spring ready to snap.I exchanged a look with Mario, who was lounging in the passenger seat of my Lamborghini, a cigar dangling between his fingers. His blue eyes sharpened instantly, recognizing the shift in my demeanor."Maybe if you were dead I might," I replied, my voice deadly calm despite the rage burning through my veins.Viktor's laugh echoed through the car speakers, a sound that transported me back to my childhood—back to the days when that laugh meant someone was about to get hurt."Still the same little sick bastard your mother ran away with," he said, his Russian accent thick with mockery. "Tell me, Alexandro, how is my dear Isabella? Is she still running? Still hiding like the coward she's always been?"My grip tightened around the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. "Did you call just to

    THE DEVIL'S INVITATION"You're being disrespectful, ignoring me like this. Naughty girls need to be taught lessons."~ LAUREN'S POV ~The text message from Viktor made my skin crawl as I hurried back to my desk, my mind still reeling from the news alerts about the warehouse explosion. Three people dead. Alexandro at the scene. My world spinning out of control.I started gathering my things with shaking hands, shoving papers into my bag without caring about organization. I had to get out of here. Had to find Alexandro. Had to make sure he was okay."Lauren, what's wrong?" Vanessa appeared beside my desk, her voice filled with concern. "You look like you're about to be sick.""I can't talk right now," I managed to get out, my throat tight with panic. "I just... I have to go."Before Vanessa could respond, Lilac's sharp voice cut through the office noise like a blade."Lauren McQueen!" She stood in the doorway of her temporary office, hands on her hips, looking like a queen surveying he
