The crowd buzzed with laughter and clinking glasses, but Akiko heard none of it. Her mind was stuck on Glen’s last words, her fingers cold where his hand had been moments ago. She was alone now — surrounded by strangers, drowning in golden lights and empty conversations.A few minutes after Glen disappeared into the crowd, Harley returned — a crystal glass in hand, condensation trailing down its sides. Her eyes softened as she approached.“What’s your name?” she asked, her voice warm, but beneath it… something fragile.“Akiko,” the girl replied curtly, her tone flat but polite.“How long have you known my son?” There it was — the faintest crack in Harley’s composure. A flicker of sorrow behind carefully painted eyes.“About a month,” Akiko answered, her gaze distant.“Can I ask you for a favor?” Harley’s voice lowered, hesitant now.Akiko froze for a moment. Glen had made it clear — don’t talk to anyone. But something ab

The faint click of the door handle broke the silence. Glen stepped inside, sharp eyes landing on her. In his hand — a sleek, luxurious black dress. “Wear this,” he ordered coolly, holding it out to her. “We’re going somewhere. Make sure you look good.” Akiko didn’t move. The towel clung to her damp skin, her hair still dripping from the shower. She hadn’t expected him to barge in — though, by now, she should’ve known better. "Can't you knock first?" Akiko snapped, irritated by his intrusion. Yes, the apartment was his, but she was still a woman—she deserved privacy. "I do what I want," Glen shrugged, unfazed. His hand remained steady, the fabric dangling between them like a silent command. Reluctantly, Akiko took the dress. The silk was smooth beneath her fingers, elegant… but short. Too short. “Is there nothing else?” she asked, inspecting the outfit with mild distaste. “What’

The phone buzzed across the desk, vibrating against the hard surface. Akiko barely spared it a glance. Dr. Vian. The young doctor who had been trying to drag her back into treatment—to keep her alive. His name flashed across the screen, over and over. He was probably panicking by now, wondering where she’d disappeared to. She didn’t answer. She wouldn’t. She had already made her decision—there would be no treatment. For the past few weeks, she had been working under Glen Xander McKenzie — officially, as his assistant. Unofficially? As his possession. Working for Glen was exactly what she’d expected — a constant storm. He never thought twice before acting. His temper? A ticking time bomb, especially after long hours drowning in work. And when that fuse burned out… Glen didn’t care how rough he got. In the office, his orders were law. At home, it was no different. Akiko barely had space to breathe, let alone peace of mind. Glen’s firearm company was a monstrous success — respe
Bound By The Mafia Caged By Choise [Chapter 5]
“Tell me, sweetheart. Do you want to stay with me… or go home… with your Father?”Akiko's eyes didn’t waver. She kept them fixed on Mr. Eloise—the man who had made her life a living nightmare. Even now, as he stood there, desperate, remorseful… she couldn’t meet his eyes."I want to speak with him alone," Akiko requested quietly."Five minutes," Glen replied curtly.Mr. Eloise's steps echoed down the hall as they left the room, his face carrying a fragile mix of false hope and regret. For the first time in years, his expression wasn’t cold, but desperate—and trembling."Akiko…" His voice cracked the moment they stopped. "I know I’ve failed you. I’ve been… a terrible father. But I want to fix this. Please… come home. Let me do right by you."Akiko’s lips curved into a bitter, empty smile. "It’s too late," she replied flatly. Her eyes didn’t meet his—they stayed distant, fixed somewhere far beyond him, like he wasn’t even worth seeing."If you’d treated me like your daughter when it mat

A night had passed since Akiko officially became Glen Xander McKenzie's possession. The apartment he brought her to was as cold and pristine as expected — all expensive surfaces, glass, and marble. But the fridge? Completely empty, aside from canned drinks and alcohol. Typical. By morning, Glen finally handed her card and ordered her to buy groceries. It wasn’t a request — it was a command, laced with the usual arrogance in his voice. Now, with Kouma left safely in the apartment, Akiko made her way to the store. She bought the essentials with Glen's money — just enough to avoid complaints. The rest, the little things for herself, she paid for with what was left of her savings. It wasn’t about the money — it was about control. And she refused to let him buy every piece of her life. As she was placing items into her shopping bag, a hand suddenly grabbed her face. Startled, Akiko turned, her heart stalling as her gaze locked onto the woman standing before her. “You…” The girl’s voic
