Natasha Kisniver never planned to steal from the Mafia. But when her younger sister collapses and the hospital halts her treatment over unpaid debts she couldn't afford, Natasha is pushed beyond desperation. Her only option? Steal a priceless ring from Jackson Darkmoon—a billionaire tech she believes is untouchable. The ring is sold on the black market, and her sister’s treatment resumes. But then she discovers a fatal mistake she made on her research: Jackson Darkmoon doesn’t exist. He’s a false identity, a fictional character of Alexander Darkmoon—the elusive and feared godfather of a Mafia empire her late father had always warned her about. Realizing she’s stolen from the most dangerous man alive, Natasha runs. But Alexander Darkmoon is not a man who forgives theft—especially not something so personal. He finds her within hours. She can’t repay him in money, so he takes her instead. Claimed as his property, Natasha is pulled into a brutal, opulent world where power is everything—and one wrong move could mean death. She vows to escape. But as she sees the man behind the monster, she changes her mind. As days turn into weeks, the line between hate and desire begins to blur. Alexander's control slips the more time he spends with her. Enemies start circling, and her presence — once a punishment — becomes a dangerous liability. Or worse, the key to his downfall. Just when Alexander begins to trust her, Natasha makes a desperate move to help her sister again — unknowingly putting a deadly plan planned by Alexander's rivals into motion. Betrayed and furious, Alexander pushes her away. But when she’s kidnapped by the very enemies he warned her about, Alexander is faced with a brutal choice: Let her go—or burn his empire to save her.

“I can do this. I have to do this. My sister's life depends on this. The doctor at the hospital sent me a message. Her treatment has been paused until I complete payment for the last three months. If I don't do this, I'll lose my sister. I already lost my mom and dad, she's the only family I have left.” Natasha replied as she stared at her reflection on the mirror.
She wore a thin white lace dress that stopped at her thighs. The fabric hugged her body like a second skin, outlining every curve. The only thing holding the dress together was the small golden hook in the middle.
She picked the brown coat that layed on the chair beside her and slide it on. Tonight, she's going to seduce the one and only Jackson Darkmoon and steal his multi-million dollars ring.
She didn't even want to think of the danger she was getting herself into. All that matters is saving her sister at any cost.
Picking up her bag, Natasha took one last look at herself in the mirror. Light makeup with cherry painted lips. She gave herself a bright smile.
Even though she fails tonight, it should be on record that she tried. After checking herself and making sure she was fully covered, she walked out of her room.
Tiana's mouth fell open when she saw Natasha walk out of her room. She gave her a thumbs up. “You nailed the makeup.”
Natasha smiled at her and hugged her before leaving. She hailed a taxi to Ice five-star hotel where the party for the rich was taking place. She has to thank Tiana again for helping her get an invitation.
After getting checked by security, Natasha was finally allowed into the hotel. She thanked her stars that they didn't do a thorough search on her, if not they would have found the substance she was carrying. Huge chandeliers hung on the ceiling, casting a golden hue on the chattering crowd below.
Natasha made her way through the crowd. Her eyes scanned everywhere, looking for her target but he was no where to be seen. She needed to execute her plan and get out of here as soon as possible.
The MC came on stage and introduced himself before announcing the presence of some VIP guests. She listened carefully. After mentioning some names, the MC mentioned the names of two couples she had heard about.
“Please let's welcome Mr and Mrs Gluderton. And our highly esteemed guest, Mr. Darkmoon.”
The whole place erupted in an ear piercing applaud at the mention of Mr. Darkmoon. He was seated in the VIP table which was guarded by armed bodyguards.
How was she going to get to him if those men were around him. The party had started and time was going.
Natasha looked at the time. Her heart was thumping in her chest. How is she going to get to him? Just as she was about to check the time, her eyes caught sight of a female waiter heading towards the VIP table with a tray in her hand. Bingo!
She looked behind her and saw another waitress coming out from a door which probably led to the kitchen. This is her chance.
As Natasha walked towards the door, she caught sight of another room where some girls walked into. Another girl walked out wearing the same outfit as the other waitress. That was the changing room.
Natasha looked around and when she saw no one was looking, she slipped into the room and changed into the outfit the waitress wore. The only thing she took off was the brown coat which she hung on the place where she took the clothes from.
“Hey you, what are you doing there. Who's serving the wine to the VIP table?” A middle aged woman asked, pointing at some girls who were chatting at the corner.
Natasha quickly ran forward. “I'll serve the wine.”
“Ok, come and take it.”
She followed the woman into the second part of the kitchen where drinks were being arranged.
“This one is for Mrs. Kalil.” The woman said before leaving to attend to other things.
Natasha frowned, this is not going to work. She's to serve only one person. Feeling something tap her shoulder, Natasha turned and saw a girl about her age standing behind her, wearing the same outfit as her.
“Hi.” Natasha said.
The girl smiled a little and looked down at the tray in her hand. “Please, can we switch trays.” She muttered.
Natasha furrowed her brows.
The girl quickly added. “I get clumsy when I'm scared. I was given the wine for Mr. Darkmoon but I'm too scared to go. I'm worried I'll mess up. Can you please switch trays with me.” She pleaded.
Natasha smiled in her head. “Sure, this one is for Mrs. Kalil.” They both switched trays and the girl hurried out to serve her the wine.
Natasha looked around. Today must be her lucky day. Most of the waitress in the room had gone out to serve drinks. This is her chance.
Placing the tray with the wine on the table, Natasha pulled the small transparent nylon out of the container in her pocket and turned some of it into the wine. She turned the glass around and it mixed with the wine, blending in with the dark color.
After keeping the container, Natasha picked the tray and quickly hurried out. She nervously scratched the tray with her finger as she walked through the hall. What if her plan didn't work? What if she got caught?
No, she shouldn't think that. As Natasha approached the VIP table, her eyes caught sight of Jackson. He wore a black suit and a black long sleeve shirt. It made him look mysterious.
He was speaking with a man who sat beside him. His shirt was unbuttoned at the chest and she could see his abs peeking out.
Natasha walked to his side and placed the tray on the table. She felt intimidated by his presence. Even though he wasn't looking at her, she felt scared for some reason. He had a dangerous aura around him.
She picked the cup and her hand suddenly wobbled, making the glass fall back into the tray. Natasha swallowed hard. How did she all of a sudden become so clumsy?
Just as she was about to pick the cup again, another hand beat her to it. Her eyes followed the hand and her gaze clashed with Jackson's.
He didn't even look at her for more than a second before turning his face to continue his chatting with the other man.
Natasha looked at him as he gulped everything down. Something else caught her eyes. There it was, the only thing she needed to save her sister was sitting on his pinkie finger. The hand that held the glass cup had the ring on it. Now she has to find a way to get it.
Alexander ignored her and opened the back seat. He threw her into the car and leaned in. His eyes held no emotion and his tone was dead serious. “Next time you try to run, I'll order my men to shoot you on the spot.” With that, the door closed shut, sealing her fate which was now in his hands.Natasha bit her lip as she watched a truck tow the taxi away. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Ma'am! Ma'am!!” “Hmm!” Natasha sat up at the sound of someone calling her. She looked beside her and was shocked to see the driver beside her. “You've been lost in thoughts for almost 30 minutes. We've arrived at your apartment. Can you just pay me my money so I can leave.” “Huh!” Natasha cleaned her eyes and looked around. “Where did the black cars go?” She asked. The driver furrowed his brows. “What black cars? Ma'am, if you are feeling unwell, you should go see a doctor. There are no black cars here.” Natasha frowned. Didn't the driver say they were being chased by black cars and
Natasha looked back as she ran. She was surprised to find nobody behind her. Wait, was Alexander really letting her run away? If he was then she better run fast before he changes his mind. Natasha scanned the area as she ran. Black tiled ground with some engravings she didn't bother to look at. The sides of the road were decorated with black plants and flowers. This man obviously had an obsession for black. Natasha ran some miles before she finally got to the main road where she could see cars and people. She called a taxi and hopped in without waiting any seconds longer. She looked back as the taxi drove away. Something made her feel uneasy. Was Alexander really letting her go like that? She expected to see him or his men chasing her, but none of them showed up. What was he up to? Natasha shook her head and focused on the road. She has been looking for how to escape, now that she did, why should she bother herself with why he didn't come chasing after her. He has found his ring
Natasha woke up to the sound of a knock on her door. She rubbed her eyes and opened them.“Come in.” She said, wondering who it was.A maid walked into the room to deliver a message. “Ma'am, the boss wants you downstairs for breakfast.” She said with a slight bow before walking out. Natasha frowned and closed her eyes. She still wants to sleep but she's starving. Forcing herself up from the bed, she stands up and drag her lazy legs into the bathroom.She turns on the expensive-looking tap on the sink and splash water on her face. She opens the cabinet above the sink and finds a mouthwash there.After doing what's needed, she walked out of the room. Her eyes looked around the hallway. Every single place screamed ‘MONEY’. She didn't even know where the dining room was, how's she supposed to get there. Hearing sounds behind her, Natasha turned to see the elevator door open. Two men walked out, chatting about something.She should ask them for direction. “Excuse me, can you please show
“I gave an order, and you dare disobey.” His voice was low and calm, making her feel uneasy. She expected him to shout on her so she could also vent her frustration, but it seems that won't be working tonight. “I don't have to follow your orders.” She spat. “If I don't want to do something, I won't do it.” “Go take a shower before I drag you into the bathroom and strip you naked.” “Huh?” Natasha subconsciously wrapped her hand around her body. Did he just say he'll strip her naked?That was enough to set her on her feet. Her mind wondered back to the night she stole his ring. The way his eyes darkened when he saw her body. The way his tongue swirled around her nipple…gosh Natasha! Her cheeks flushed red and her expression didn't go unnoticed. What would it feel like if he sucked her again?She suddenly wanted to feel that feeling in her stomach. “Stop it Natasha. You shouldn't be thinking of that. You need to find a way out of here and get far away from this devil.” Her subconsci
Natasha bit her lower lip to stifle her cry. His eyes darkened at the sight of her biting her lip. He felt like biting that lip too. With a single click of his fingers, two burly men emerged from the dark. Natasha just realized that they had been in the room all along. They removed the iron cuffs while he stood in front of her, watching her. Natasha looked at him, her voice low but determined. “You can keep me in a cage but I'll never be yours.” A cruel smirk played across his lips. “You will learn to accept it.” The two men raised her up like an empty sack. Alexander turned around and walked into the darkness. They followed behind him. Natasha tried to fight the men holding her but her efforts were useless. They walked pass a door and the sound of people screaming invaded her ears again. The passage was filled with red lights and she couldn't ignore the stench of blood that filled the air. Locked doors lined both sides of the passage. She saw a man being dragged into a room.
She heard something click and what followed next was the ear-deafining screams coming from different angles.The sound of a woman screaming stopped her breath. That was enough to throw her into a turmoil. She heard the same click sound and all the screaming disappeared. Wait, the room was soundproof? His shoe clicked on the floor as he resumed walking around her.“You heard that right?” He asked, fiddling with the chains on her hand. “Men aren't the only ones tortured down here. Women too, because they dared to go against me. Do you think a simple please will make me let you go? Those women committed crimes that aren't even up to what you did but they have already been locked up. And you,’” He trailed off, a mocking laugh escaped his lips. “you expect me to let you go?” Natasha looked down as she tried to fight back the tears that threatened to fall. “Where is my ring Natasha Kisniver?” His voice sounded, and she shook at the mention of the ring.He walked around and stopped in fr
