LOGINZyra POV“How are you feeling now?”His voice came from behind me just as the cool night breeze brushed against my skin.I turned slightly on the balcony and found Rafeal stepping out through the glass doors, his tall figure cutting through the warm light spilling from the hotel room behind him.For a second, I simply stared at him.The moonlight caught the sharp edges of his face, softening the usual danger in his expression.“Yes, boss, I’m fine,” I said quietly.My eyes drifted away from him and back to the breathtaking city stretched beneath us.India at night was unlike anything I had ever seen. The city lights glittered endlessly like stars scattered across the earth, while the distant hum of traffic and nightlife rose faintly into the air.It was beautiful.“This is beautiful, right?” I murmured, almost to myself.A small smile touched my lips. Rafeal moved closer, then pulled out a chair and sat opposite me, one leg crossing over the other in his usual controlled, elegant way.
Rafeal POV“I want Rasqa’s hiding spot, Micheal!”My voice exploded through the phone as I paced the room like a caged animal.The hotel suite suddenly felt too small to contain the rage burning inside me. My boots struck the polished floor in hard, sharp beats while my free hand clenched so tightly my knuckles turned white.On the other end of the line, Micheal’s voice came quickly. “Yes, boss. Is there a problem? You sound worked up.”A bitter laugh escaped me. “Worked up?” I repeated, dragging a hand through my hair. “That idiot showed up at the airport and opened fire. Two people got shot.”I paused, my jaw tightening. “Including Zyra.”There was dead silence for a second. Then Micheal’s shocked voice burst through the line.“Wait—what?”“Yes, you heard me right.” My tone dropped into something colder, deadlier. “And I’m going to make him pay for pulling that dirty stunt on me.”I stopped pacing and stared out the hotel window at the glowing lights of India spread beneath the nigh
Zyra POV“Alexander!”The voice came to me like an echo from another life. Distant Urgent and Shaking.“Open your eyes, baby. It’s mummy.” Warm arms cradled me against a trembling body, and even through the haze of fear, I could feel the woman’s heartbeat racing wildly beneath my cheek.A gentle hand tapped my face. “Look at me,” she whispered, her voice breaking.Slowly, my eyelids fluttered open. The first thing I saw was a white dress stained with spreading crimson.Then her hair, Long blonde strands clung to her bloodied face, sticking to her skin as tears and sweat mixed with the red running down from her forehead.I tried to focus on her features, but everything blurred, like smoke refusing to take shape. I could never fully see her.Only fragments.Her shaking lips, Her wet lashes and the terror in her eyes.“Get her away from here!” A man’s voice thundered from somewhere nearby.I turned slightly and saw the dark shape of a man holding a gun, his posture tense as he looked arou
Rafeal POV“How long before everything is moved?”My voice came out low and controlled as I spoke into the phone, my eyes scanning the hotel room one last time.From the other end, Micheal answered immediately. “About two hours from now, boss.”I gave a short nod even though he couldn’t see me.“Good. Make sure it’s done as soon as possible.”“Yes, boss,” Micheal replied. “Have you moved yet?”“About to.”I ended the call and dropped the phone onto the bed, my fingers moving to the zipper of the small black case lying open before me.Inside it were the only things I needed…documents, cash, a weapon, and secrets heavy enough to bury a man.As I zipped it shut, a soft knock sounded on the door.“Come in, Zyra.”I straightened, adjusting the collar of my shirt, forcing every trace of emotion off my face.The door opened gently, and she stepped inside.Her movements were careful, almost hesitant.“Good morning,” she said softly.I barely glanced at her before returning my attention to the
Calus POV“Any news on them yet?”My voice came out low and controlled as I stepped into my office, the heavy double doors shutting behind me with a muted thud. The room instantly wrapped around me in its usual silence the kind of silence power creates. Cold. Sharp. Untouchable.My assistant, who had been standing near the wide glass window, turned immediately at the sound of my voice.“Not yet, boss,” she replied carefully.I loosened the cuff of my sleeve as I moved deeper into the room, my polished shoes gliding against the marble floor. Every step echoed authority. Purpose.Without another word, I made my way to the small crystal bar at the corner of the office and poured myself a glass of whiskey. The amber liquid swirled slowly as I tilted the bottle, catching the dim light from above.I lifted the glass to my lips, taking a slow sip before turning to face her.“So,” I said, my gaze narrowing slightly, “what information have you gotten on her so far?”She straightened, already k
Rafael POVI got out of there fast.The moment I left Zyra’s room, I headed straight for mine, my steps quick and uneven as I forced myself down the hallway.My jaw was clenched so tightly it hurt. This was getting worse.Ever since that one night with her, something inside me had changed in a way I hated to admit.The hunger had grown.Not just physical but Something deeper than just sex, Something far more dangerous than I ever imagined.And the worst part was that I no longer wanted to hurt her the way I once thought I could.That alone made this situation even more complicated.I ran a frustrated hand through my damp hair as I shut my bedroom door behind me.I needed to calm down.I needed to get this burning feeling under control before I did something reckless.Something I might not be able to take back.A cold shower, That was the only thing I could think of. Without wasting another second, I walked into the bathroom and stepped beneath the shower, letting icy water crash over my
RAFEAL POVThe moment Michael’s hurried footsteps echoed through the office corridor, I knew the message had reached him. “Boss! I got your message so I rushed down immediately!” he said breathlessly as he burst into the room, panic flickering across his features.My gaze, however, didn’t waver. I
RAFEAL – POVI sat in front of my laptop, the only light in the room coming from the glowing screen and the faint ember at the tip of my cigarette. The room was silent—too silent. Midnight always had a way of revealing the truth. People became careless when they believed the world was asleep.On th
RAFEAL – POVI rubbed the ashes between my fingers slowly, deliberately, then lifted them to my nose. The smell was unmistakable—burnt metal, oil, and failure. Whoever did this hadn’t just destroyed a warehouse; they had sent a message.“Who was on duty yesterday?” I asked, my voice calm but cold.
RAFEAL POVThe sharp crack of the gunshot split the air.The recoil travelled up my arm as the bullet tore clean through the center of the table target. Before the echo could fade, I fired again—another precise hit. The paper trembled weakly before settling, two neat holes staring back at me like o
