Astrella's point of view

The morning sun’s rays pierced through the windows, blinding me as I stirred awake. Ugh, is it already morning? It felt like only a minute ago that the chaos unfolded. I stretched with a yawn, covering my mouth lazily.

Reaching for my phone, I found it on the nightstand. As soon as I unlocked it, a message popped up: "Be ready. Not even the world’s most powerful Mafia can save you."

What the heck? A threat? Seriously? Who’s dumb enough to send me this? It’s like a bad prank from someone with too much time on their hands. I’ve been getting threats ever since I started my career as a writer. Some readers just can’t handle it when their favorite characters meet an untimely end.

Like, really? It’s my story, and I can do whatever I want with my characters. Plot twists are part of the game. If they can’t handle it, that’s their problem, not mine.

So, what’s today’s drama going to be? My life feels like an action-drama series. First, I got entangled with a Mafia bo

  • Betrayed In The Mafia's Bed    Ch. 75: Extraction

    Dax Donomie's Point of View The initial scream reverberated throughout the corridor, resembling the sound of a wire breaking under pressure. I took careful measurements of every step I took before my boots made contact with the marble. In the underground lair of the auction, there was a strong odor of both luxury and decay. The odor of power that has been mishandled, along with golden chandeliers and red velvet curtains. I noticed the dirt lurking under the surface, but they made it seem all polished and real. It will come to an end tonight. The sound of Keyu's voice echoed through my coms. “Northwest secured. Yael and Norio sweeping the east. Floor two, status?” “Moving in,” I replied coldly. “We’ve got thirty seconds. Make it clean.” I turned the corner while holding the gun firmly in my hand. My men, who were shadows dressed in black and trained for chaos, stormed in behind me. A second scream reverberated, this time on a lower pitch. Then, I caught a glimpse of the stage. A

  • Betrayed In The Mafia's Bed    Ch. 74: Lion's den

    Astrella Honey's point of view I was no longer able to determine whether it was midnight or morning. The air was damp, and the smell of rust and mildew permeated the atmosphere. The only thing that could be used to determine the passage of time was the sound of faint cries coming from down the hallway and the shuffle of exhausted feet. Then the crash happened.I was curled up in the corner when the steel door suddenly snapped open with a deafening bang, which caused me to jolt. A guard hurled a bundle of cloth at my feet, and it landed like a slap to the face. Disgusting. It was a thin, translucent mess that was meant to display every curve and every vulnerability. The outfit was hardly an outfit at all as it should have been. A prize costume for tonight’s circus.“Change,” the voice sneered. “You’re going to be the main attraction tonight.”I was adamant about not moving. Not even a single finger. In no way, shape, or form. They are free to drag

    Astrella Honey's point of view I kept walking, fists clenched, ears ringing. My whole body felt like it was made of lead and adrenaline as I tried to put one foot in front of the other. The sting of betrayal still bubbled in my chest when suddenly—A hand clamped down on my mouth.“Shhh,” a voice hissed.My breath exploded out of me as I thrashed, tried to kicked and clawed someone. Suddenly, more hands, too many hands clutched at my arms, on my waist, hauling me backward into the alley’s choking darkness.“No! Let go! Let me go!” My voice rang out, hoarse and feral, but it was drowned out by a deep, mocking laugh.Fvcking Jasper. That smug, sadistic smile. Those cold, dark eyes that promised nothing but ruin.“Hello, Astrella,” he drawled, brushing a finger down my jaw like he owned it. “Missed me?”“Get the fuck off me!” I spat, kicking wildly, knees and heels slamming into legs and shins. But for every kick, another s

    Astrella Honey's point of view “Hello, princess,” his voice was a whisper of danger, soft yet laced with the weight of unspoken threats. “Did you miss me?”I felt Dax tense beside me, his hand tightening on my arm. Silently saying to stay calm. But that ship sailed. I saw red. I was red.“Miss you?” I barked a bitter laugh, stepping forward despite Dax’s warning tug. My voice dripped venom. “Oh, I’ve been praying to see you again, so I can spit on your grave.”Tommaso’s smile didn’t even flinch. “You always were dramatic. Got that from your mother. God rest her soul.”My nails dug into my palms, pain grounding me. Don’t cry. Don’t show him a single drop of weakness.“You don’t get to talk about my mother,” I snarled. “You don’t get to talk about anything. You lost that right the day you sold me to those vultures and called it business.”He tilted his head, as if he were amusing a child. “I did what I had to d

    Astrella Honey's point of view The SUV’s tinted windows flickered with streetlight glow as we cruised through the backroads of Taguig. Our convoy moved in tight formation, one car ahead and one behind, all silent except for the low hum of engines and the dull weight of what was about to unfold.I sat beside Dax, arms crossed, and my lips tight. The silence between us was thick as smoke. I hated being out of the loop. I hated being handled like glass.“I’m not your hostage,” I finally muttered.“I never said you were,” he said without looking at me, eyes still on the road ahead like the night held answers only he could decode.“You’re doing it again. Making decisions, shutting me out—”He sighed sharply and turned to me, his jaw tense. “Fine. You want in? Here’s the full scope.”He tapped a few buttons on a slim tablet and handed it to me. A series of encrypted messages, satellite images, and a photo with grainy but clea

  • Betrayed In The Mafia's Bed    Ch. 70: Safehouse

    Astrella Honey’s Point of ViewI remained at the safehouse for hours after Dax departed for the operation in Taguig.The safehouse was unusually quiet. Even with the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional footstep outside my door, everything seemed... off. Not moving, Like the air itself was holding its breath.I’d been pacing in circles for God knows how long, the patterned floor rug beneath my bare feet already starting to curl at the edges from my restlessness. My thoughts had become jumbled and hard to understand completely. Something was wrong. I could feel it in my bones.Ciejill hadn’t cracked a joke in two hours. That alone was a sign the world was either ending or she'd finally taken her meds, but judging by the distant look on her face, it was neither. She sat on the couch, one leg swinging, eyes fixed on the door like she was waiting for something to burst through it.I folded my arms. “Okay, spill it. Why do
