CHAPTER 49 What the city swallowed

last update publish date: 2026-11-06 00:29:13

Hugo didn't know when he started rushing out of the female tower.

One moment he was standing there, and the next he was sprinting across the courtyard, his heart pounding in his ears.

He threw himself into his car and started the engine.

Behind him, the girls rushed outside, calling his name, begging him to come back, but the gates were already behind him.

The speed limit in Madrid's city streets was fifty kilometers per hour, and on the M-30 it was ninety at most.

    Hugo had already turned away by the time the question left his father's mouth. His face hardened into the cold, unreadable mask he wore around Dacio now, the one that had replaced every softer expression years ago. Resentment sat behind his eyes, quiet and old.He turned back slowly, lips parting to answer.Footsteps pounded down the upstairs hallway."Mr. Bruno! Master Bruno!" The family doctor appeared at the top of the stairs, gripping the railing, his glasses crooked. "She's moving! I think she's regaining consciousness!"Hugo didn't pause. He had been heading to the kitchen for water, but he changed direction so fast that the glass he'd been reaching for was forgotten. He took the stairs two at a time. Dacio stood frozen for a few seconds, then collected himself and followed.They burst into the room together.Tamsin lay on the bed, pale against the white sheets. Her fingers twitched. Her toes curled and uncurled beneath the blanket. But her eyes stayed closed, and her fa

    When the kiss stretched past a minute, Hugo felt Tamsin's body go slack against him. He gripped her shoulders and eased her back. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted, and before he could steady her, her head dropped forward onto his chest. She had fainted."Tamsin." He caught her at once, swept one arm beneath her knees, and lifted her off the floor, cradling her against him.Footsteps thundered down the corridor. Hugo turned just as Dacio burst through the door with a squad of police behind him. They stopped dead. Four boys lay sprawled across the floor, bloody and unconscious, and in the middle of it stood one unmarked boy holding a girl in his arms. The officers stared at Hugo with open horror. How could one boy do this to four and walk away without nothing more than injured knuckles.Dacio pushed past them. "What happened to her? Did they hurt her?"Hugo's face hardened the way it always did around his father. "She's fine. She fainted from exhaustion.""Are you sure?" Da

    Hotel Moderno sat on a narrow side street in old Madrid, wedged between a shuttered pharmacy and a bar that never closed. The cream facade was streaked gray with decades of rain, the iron balconies were rusted at the edges, and the sign above the door flickered so badly.It was cheap enough that no one important would be seen inside. That was exactly why men like Leo chose it. No cameras worth checking, no manager who asked questions. Its only real security was the woman at the front desk. A chandelier missing half its crystals hung over a threadbare couch no guest had ever sat on, and a clock above the key hooks ran four minutes slow.The receptionist sat beneath it, a woman in her mid-thirties with her dark hair pinned up carelessly and a tea-colored cardigan over her shoulders. Nine years on the night shift had taught her one lesson: the less you saw, the more you earned. She was reading a gossip magazine when the door chimed and four young men walked in.Leo came first, tal

Hugo blew past both. The needle climbed past a hundred, then a hundred and twenty, as he weaved between cars on the way to Sector 4. Horns blared from every direction. Drivers shouted through their windows. At one junction a traffic warden stepped into the road, waving both arms and blowing his whistle, flagging him down. Hugo didn't even look at him. He was not slowing down for anyone.The ride normally took twenty minutes. He made it in ten.He didn't bother parking properly. He jumped ou

    It was already almost twelve in the afternoon when Tamsin finally stepped out of the bathroom. She wasn't in any hurry to get ready for the date. Every time she thought about it, spite curled in her chest, so she took her time.She finished her skincare routine slowly, patting each layer into her skin like she had all day. Then she pulled on a flared, short bubble skirt and a pair of rugged knee-high boots with a chunky heel, the kind that made every step sound like a statement. Over it went a white crop top with a bold black “FUCK YOU" and the finger printed right across the front. If Matteo wanted to meet her, he could at least know exactly where he stood.She straightened her hair but kept her bangs, framing her face the way she liked. A few sprays of perfume hit the air around her, and she walked through the mist. Her makeup stayed minimal, just a swipe of lip gloss and a coat of mascara. She slid her shades on, grabbed her bag, and headed downstairs.Teal and Dacio were al

  • DANGEROUSLY YOURS    CHAPTER 47 We kiss Ghosts, not people

    By the time Hugo reached Sector 4, the mansion was quiet. Luckily for him, all the boys were out. Not a single voice echoed through the halls, and not a single door slammed. He rushed straight to his room, shut the door behind him, and stood there breathing hard.The fury inside him was too much to hold. He couldn't help thinking.When he found out that Mario's mother had slapped him and the reason Mario had strangled Valentina, he had gone personally to Valentina's room. He told her that if her father dropped the charges against Mario, he would go out on a date with her. She had readily agreed.Now that same Mario, the one he had done all of that for, was kissing Tamsin. The same Tamsin he had given his necklace to only minutes ago. And she had acted like she loved it. Hugo's jaw tightened. His hands curled into fists until his knuckles turned white. He swung toward the wall of his room, ready to hurt himself just to release the anger burning in his chest. Then he stopped
