LOGINâCapo,â a strong man strode into the hospital room, his eyes glinting with concern.âSir is in critical condition. We donât know what to do,â Elijah, the head of security for the German mafia, informed him, his voice heavy with worry. âHe was beaten black and blue, and the hole in his voice made it difficult for him to talk. The doctor says it might take him forever to speak again. Rustom is dead, and most of our men are gone. The responsibility lies with you.âThe 13-year-old boy, Alex Knight, sat weeping in the room's corner, his shoulders shaking with grief. He may have been young, but he had a commanding presence and a ruthless stature that belied his age.âWho did this?â he gritted his teeth, his voice trembling with anger.âThe French, we know that much,â Elijah replied, folding his hands solemnly.Alexâs bloodshot eyes widened with fury, and his fists clenched tightly. âI swear I will get my vengeance, and when I do, they will beg for mercy.â Elijah nodded in agreement. âWeâll
Everyone was invited to their wedding except the Black parents, Sophie and Blanche. Athena was pacing nervously in her room when someone knocked on the door, and she answered, âCome in,â when Narcissa walked in.âCissy,â she hugged the girl.âHow are you, Theia?â Cissy couldnât help but admire how beautiful Athena looked in her wedding dress.âI am good. Where were you? We were so worried about you,â she sat on the ottoman before her vanity.âI found myself and love, too,â she winked. Athena looked bewildered.âLove?â disbelief coated her tone.âYes, I will introduce her to you once you are done with your wedding,â she kissed Athenaâs cheek. She was about to leave when Athena stopped her.âI am sorry for causing you pain, Cissy. If only I had knownâŠâŠâ but Cissy stopped her.âDonât worry about it, Athena. I am happy for you and my brother, and my adorable nieces and nephews, I love you all equally, and honestly, I should apologize for not trusting you,â she pinned her veil on her head.
Athena and Azazel hadnât talked about their relationship much. Their relationship was evolving, but into what she didnât know. She was sure that Athena had feelings for him, but to what extent? She couldnât figure it out. âAthena,â Azazel yelled, coming home. âIn here,â she replied, washing the milk bottles and setting them on the warmer. âGet ready. We are going out,â he turned her to his side. âNo, Zae. We need toâŠâ he silenced her by placing his fingers on her lips and closing them. âNot another word. You havenât gone out since we had our little ones. Letâs go out, besides we have a village to watch, and you already pumped your milk,â he noticed the bottles on the counter. Knowing that there was no excuse, Athena gave in. She entered her bedroom and noticed a dress on the bed. She put on the outfit and put on some light makeup. Hearing the sound of heels, he turned around, and his heart skipped its beat. She looked ethereal in that georgette dress, âI look fat,â she adjusted t
After many months of speculations about what happened to Azazel Black, the world finally realized that he was alive. Since he was alive and well, his company was soaring, the stocks reaching the skies. The company celebrated, and so did the underworld. But there was no news of Hans anywhere, not in the business world or the underworld. He permanently cut ties with Olivia and Charles. After Tristan explained what they did to Cissy, he didnât have it in his heart to call him his parents, they reached out to him, but he cut them off. As much as it hurt him to do it, he did not want his father to do the same things he did to him and his brother to his children. He wanted his children to become compassionate like her. He officially canceled his wedding with Sophie. The girl was furious and tried to blackmail him into doing what she wanted, but Azazel was ahead of her. He threatened to kill her career if she tried to disturb Athena or her family. He was still in touch with Arthur as he was
âDo you think I should come back?â Azazel asked, sipping his whiskey. âYou should,â Tristan knew Azazel and Athena loved each other, but there was something holding them up from being together, he had seen both suffer being away from each other, and God knows they were stubborn. âAlthough if you come back, I hope she kills you. I am tired of your ass,â Tristan was eager to see Azazel getting ass whopped by Athena. âDo you think she will be angry with me?â Azazel had a worried look on his face. âOh, I am sure she would end you, and I am so rooting for it,â his brother needs that for following this stupid plan. âLove makes people do things, Azazel. I have never seen you pine for anyone like this. If this isnât screaming that you love her, I donât know what does. And as for Athena, I have seen her try and eat flowers instead of apples. She is completely off focus,â Tristan remembered the times Athena forgot to focus and did things the wrong way. The girl put cabbage in the washing ma
Days were OK for her, but she felt the most sadness at night. It was her childhood all over again. But she wasnât alone this time. She had her family, but his absence affected her the most. God took her parents and gave him to her, and now he took him away and gave her parents. She sat there and let the tears flow. Athena didnât move out of her room. She still used the old space Azazel and her shared. This comforted her, as his scent was everywhere, particularly in his clothes. She stepped into the closet and took one of his jackets, hugging it close. She stood there, inhaling his scent. Another tear dropped when she heard a knock on the door. Wiping her tears, âCome in,â she announced to the person. Her mother walked inside. Looking at Athena standing there with a shirt, Iris sighed. âPenny for your thoughts?â Iris turned her daughter to her side. She formed her lips into a thin line and shook her head. âI am your mother, Theia, come here,â she opened her arms, and Athena ran into
Azazel and Athena landed in France earlier than anticipated, not knowing Cleon was waiting for them. The boy was ready to kill. He stood at the entrance waiting for them to show up. âYou bastard,â he ran to Azazel, and before Athena could understand what was happening, Cleon had already landed a pun
Azazel lifted her head from her neck and kissed her cheek. âMy mom and Dad sent me away,â her expression changed with this sentence. âI begged, pleaded, and fought with themâ there was icy ire in his eyes, showing how heartbroken his little heart was when his parents took away the one thing he wante
The luxury room echoed with the sounds of IV drips and monitor beeps. Azazel slowly blinked his dry eyes, waking up as the effects of the drug gradually wore off. As soon as he opened his eyes, he searched for his doll, but she was nowhere to be found. His expression saddened, and his forest eyes di
Azazel was about to leave for the airport when his office door banged open, and Nevin barged in. He impassively threw his cigarette butt in the trash can âWho the fuck let you enter the building?â he didnât even look at Nevin. He was collecting his papers from the desk when Nevin stalked closer. âGe
