LOGINCharles calls me his secret weapon, his golden ticket to taking down the worst criminals this city has to offer. They think he’s a genius, always a step ahead, but they don’t know it’s me who does the dirty work.
The music in the car is barely audible over the sounds I’m making. Ricardo’s head is buried between my thighs, with his hands gripping my hips like he owns me, he is eating me out, leaving me gasping for air. My back arches against the seat, with my fingers tangled in his dark hair. I can’t stop the moans spilling from my lips, they were loud and shameless.
Up front, the driver is uncomfortable, his eyes are fixed on the road, but when I let out another cry, he fumbles for his earbuds and jams them in, pretending we’re not even here.
When the car slows and pulls into the driveway of a five-star hotel, my legs are trembling. Ricardo sits up, straightens his jacket like nothing happened, and steps out of the car. Cool. Composed. Utterly infuriating.
I follow, adjusting my silver dress, trying to gather what’s left of my dignity, but he grabs me before I can take another step. His hand takes my waist, pulling me close as we walk towards the entrance.
We barely make it through the doors before he starts kissing me again. His hands roam my body, and I shudder from pleasure.
“Sir,” a security guard approaches, trying to mask his discomfort. “This is an establishment. That kind of behavior is—”
The man freezes when his eyes land on Ricardo.
“Mr. Borrelli,” he stammers. “I—I’m so sorry. Please, forgive me.”
Ricardo doesn’t even acknowledge him. He brushes past with a smirk, his hand still firmly on my lower back.
Inside, the receptionist at the desk glances up, her eyes widening. She recovers quickly, putting on a nervous smile. “Welcome, Mr. Borrelli. Your usual suite is available. Here’s the master key.”
Her hand shakes as she slides the key across the counter. Ricardo takes it without a word, as his attention is already back on me.
We head towards the elevators, and as soon as the doors close, he’s on me again. He’s kissing me, touching me, almost like he can’t get enough of me. By the time the elevator reaches the top floor, my dress strap is slipping down my shoulder, and his jacket is discarded on the floor.
When we step into the suite, I pause. The room is stunning. But Ricardo doesn’t seem to notice. His eyes are on me, burning with desire.
I smirk, leaning back against the massive bed. “Are you some kind of god?”
He laughs. “You could say that.”
Before I can reply, his hand is on my neck, firm but not quite rough, tilting my head back to meet his gaze. “Take off your fucking clothes,” he commands me.
I do as he says, letting the silver dress slide to the floor, leaving me naked before him. His eyes scanned over me, like he’s savoring every inch.
He undresses himself slowly. “Do you want to see what a god’s dick looks like?” he asks with arrogance.
I bite my lip, nodding slowly. “Yes, daddy.”
He pushes me onto the bed. He’s rough in a way that fills me with adrenaline. But then it happens—too fast. His breathing is heavy, and he shudders against me. The room goes quiet for a while.
I lay there, my body still buzzing, but something feels... off. I glance at him, and it’s all over his face. His jaw is clenched, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, he is frustrated.
For all his confidence, his climax comes too soon. It’s clear he’s not satisfied. Neither am I.
Just then, Ricardo’s phone rings, breaking the silence. He pulls it out of his pocket, his expression shifts as he checks the screen. He answers, pacing a few steps away from the bed.
It’s not on speaker, but his tone is low and he speaks with frustration. I pick up fragments, enough to piece together the conversation.
“Angelo, what the fuck do you want now?” Ricardo snaps, running a hand through his hair.
I shift quietly, slipping my hand under the pillow where I’ve hidden the tiny recording device Charles gave me. One press of a button, and it’s on.
“Calmo, Calmo brother. I know, I know.” Angelo’s voice is muffled, but I catch enough to hear the panic in his words.
Ricardo yells into the phone. “But we’re stuck. The senator’s daughter? Having that bitch amongst the other girls has ruined everything. We can’t move the other girls’ until we figure out what to do with her.”
“No, we can’t kill her, Angelo. Do you have any idea what that would bring down on us? Charles Gregory’s already sniffing around. You think we’d survive that kind of heat?” Ricardo’s voice rises, then he drops his tone. “This is our punishment, remember? We’re cleaning up someone else’s mess, and we don’t have a choice.”
At the mention of Charles’s name, I felt fear. My fingers tighten around the recording device as I hold my breath, praying Ricardo doesn’t notice.
Angelo says something else, something that makes Ricardo exhale harshly.
“Look,” Ricardo mutters, pinching the bridge of his nose, “once this batch is gone, we’re out. That was the deal. We just need to keep everything quiet for a few more days. That’s it!”
The call ends abruptly. Ricardo tosses the phone onto a nearby chair, dragging a hand down his face.
I stop the recording and slip the device back under the pillow, it is terrifying.
Ricardo stands there, silently. I kneel on the bed, moving towards him slowly. My fingers trace his chest, it is soothing for him I can tell.
“What’s wrong?” I ask softly, with a sweet and curious tone. “Everything’s going to be alright... if you tell me.”
He clenches his jaw. “I don’t even know you,” he mutters. “Why the fuck would I tell you personal information?”
I nod, as my fingers trail lower. “You don’t know me, but you can trust me.” My tone turns hushed. “I’ve done some pretty bad shit myself.”
My hand finds him, stroking his dick slowly. He moans softly from my touch and his defenses falter. “It’s not my mess,” he says, with his head tipping back slightly. “It’s a punishment.”
I tilt my head, feigning sympathy. “Punishment?”
He groans, with the words spilling out as I keep stroking him. “A deal went bad with someone... someone influential. They gave us a choice: deal with this... or lose everything. So, we’re stuck with it—for now.”
I hum softly, nodding as I keep stroking his dick. “What’s this punishment, exactly? It has to do with girl’s, right?”
“Yeah, lots of ‘em.” Ricardo replies.
“And… where are these girls?” I ask as I stroke him.
“They’re in a safehouse... just for a few more days,” he admits reluctantly. “After this batch, I’m done, fortunately. I just need to get them to him, and then I’m done.”
He sighs. But just as I think I’m in control, his hand shoots out, grabbing a fistful of my hair. I gasp as he leans down, searching my eyes. “And nothing,” he says, “can go wrong.”
I swallow hard, nodding incessantly. “Yes, daddy. Nothing will go wrong.” I whisper with my voice carrying just the right amount of conviction to make him believe me.
“I mean it,” I add, stroking his dick with every word. “You’re not the kind of man who lets things slip. I can tell—everything about you screams control. Power. Success.” I let my hands drift down his chest. “I’d bet on you any day.”
He seems to relax slightly, and his grip loosens in my hair. I smile at him, keeping my tone sweet. “Whatever’s going on, daddy... you’ll get through it. You always do, don’t you?”
Ricardo nods. “You’re fucking right. You know what, let’s get some rest, it’s getting late.”
As I watch him sleep, I can’t help but think how I’ll ruin his life by the next morning. And I’ll continue doing this over, and over again, ‘cause this is what I am.
But deep down, I know one thing: debts always come due, and one day, my luck will run out. What I don’t know is how soon that day is coming... or how unprepared I am for when it’ll happen.
Lana’s POVAntonella’s smirk tells me everything I need to know. The dare she’s just thrown at me is not some playful challenge, it’s a calculated strike. She doesn’t believe this fake relationship with Angelo, not one bit, and now she’s forcing me into a corner where every move I make will expose me.For a second, I can’t breathe. My chest tightens, and my palms go cold. I look at Angelo, searching his face for some kind of answer or some guidance. But his expression mirrors mine: uncertainty, disbelief, and the gravity of being trapped in Antonella’s twisted game.“Well?” Antonella’s voice comes in impatiently. “What are you waiting for, sweetheart?”My throat dries. “Antonella… isn’t that a little too extreme? Too explicit?”Her scoff is almost theatrical. “Oh, please. Don’t tell me you’re shy. We’re all adults here. Nothing is too explicit for us. Didn’t we all just watch Luca wave his… gigantic gift around in front of us? You’re lucky I’m asking you to do all this with your cloth
Lana’s POVThe room feels heavy. Watching Charles get humiliated like that cuts deep inside me, just like I thought it would. He sits there, with his jaw clenched, and his pride shattered piece by piece by Ricardo’s words.The words that came out of Ricardo's mouth were brutal, and the shame on Charles' face is evident. It hurts me because I know the Charles I used to know would never let anyone speak to him that way, much less Ricardo.But Katrina’s words circle my mind. She is right. Why is a cop here? He shouldn’t be here among us. Charles Gregory doesn’t belong in here.Unless… unless Ricardo forced him.That thought makes my mind spin. What does Ricardo have on Charles? Why would a man like him, once so proud, once the law itself, sit quietly here while Ricardo tears at his dignity? What is he doing at Angelo’s birthday celebration of all places?Before I can dig too deep into the thought, Antonella’s voice pulls me out of my spiraling mind.“Alright,” she says calmly but command
Charles’ POVI’m in a room filled with people I would rather die than spend time with. Criminals, liars, parasites who thrive on blood and power. The only reason I’m here, breathing the same air as them, is because of you Alma. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be within a mile of this place.The private area isn’t crowded. Just a few carefully chosen people, seated like pieces on a chessboard.Across the table sits a young man I’ve never seen before, introduced earlier by Angelo as Adrian to Ricardo. I don’t hear much of their exchange because Ricardo leaned in and spoke low. It was the kind of conversation meant to stay private.Whatever was said, I could tell by Ricardo’s expression that he was pleased. And if Ricardo is pleased, that’s a bad sign for the rest of us.I should be more curious about this Adrian kid. Digging into him, asking myself who he is and what his sudden presence means. But I have bigger things gnawing at me. Alma’s somewhere in this building, and I need to get
Alma’s POVThe pen feels heavy in my hand, heavier than it ever should. My fingers tremble as I scrawl the last lines of the letter. The words blur together because of how weak I’ve gotten.My body doesn’t obey me like it used to; even lifting my wrist feels like dragging chains. But I keep writing. I need to finish.Ricardo said he’d read every letter before I send them out. He smirked when he told me that, like he already knew nothing I wrote could save me. And maybe he’s right. Still, I write them. To my mother, to Charles… even to someone who will probably curse my name.And that one letter, I won’t let him see. It’s the one addressed to Lana. Every stroke of her name on the page feels like a wound reopening. I betrayed her. I betrayed my own conscience. If only I had told Charles the truth, told him Ricardo had Lana all along, maybe none of this would be happening.Maybe she wouldn’t be stuck in Ricardo’s twisted world. Maybe I wouldn’t be here, in this locked room with death clo
Lana’s POVAll eyes are on me, even in the private, VIP area. I see their eyes looking up to me as I’m sitting close to Angelo. From time to time, Angelo checks up on me. His dark eyes flick towards me and soften in a way I didn’t expect from him.His hand brushes my knee briefly as he leans back into conversation with Adrian, a man I’ve just learned is their loan shark. Angelo’s demeanor is at ease, like there’s no impending doom looming. He’s not scared or nervous.Me? My nerves are everywhere. I sit trying not to fidget. I nod, sip my drink and pretend like I’m following what Angelo and Adrian are talking about, but really, I’m somewhere else. Somewhere full of dread.That dread intensifies suddenly when Angelo stiffens. His hand goes to his ear, and his fingers brush the comms device hidden there. His expression changes in an instant. Gone is the easygoing grin and in with a grim alertness.“It’s Ricardo,” Angelo mutters. “Antonella’s here. And she’s coming our way.”My blood runs
Ricardo’s POVI can hear the bass from the loud music as soon as I descend the stairs. Down here, the chaos is alive. For a second, I pause at the bottom of the steps, rolling my shoulders back and adjusting the tiny communication device tucked in my ear.I hear it hiss faintly with static before settling. That’s my lifeline to Angelo and the rest of my men scattered across the club. It’s also a reminder that I am in control of this entire spectacle.I move through the crowd, scanning faces, in search of my Lana. A couple of punks lean against a rail with smoke curling from their lips as they watch half-dressed girls dance on tables. I stop in front of them.“Hey,” I call sharply. “Have you seen Angelo? Birthday boy?”They stiffen when they register who I am and their cigarettes pause midair. “Yes, capo,” one of them nods eagerly, pointing with two fingers towards the back.His friend mimics the gesture, like a pair of nervous parrots. I follow the direction, weaving through the bodie
Charles’ POVAlma’s words replay in my head even after she finishes. My mind races, trying to process it all. For a while, I just stare at her, with my mind caught between rage and pity.Rage, because if she’d told me everything sooner, I might’ve been closer to tearing Ricardo apart by now. Pity,
Ricardo’s POVI can smell the scent of her perfume the moment I burst through the door of the secret mansion. I am desperate. My dick is hard with need, and my mind screams her name.I have to see her, touch her, and silence the demanding voice in my head that only she can quell.“Lana! Lana!” I ca
Lana’s POVI brace myself for the question, and Angelo notices the way my eyes dart down and the hesitation in my breathing. He leans closer.“I’m guessing,” he says slowly, “this is one of those deep questions about my brother, isn’t it?”I slowly nod once. “It’s just…” I pause, searching for the
Ricardo’s POVI zip my fly up and plaster a smug grin across my face as I take in Charles’s stance. He is standing in front of me like some self-righteous statue, glaring at me as if I’m supposed to feel ashamed.“At this point,” I say, chuckling under my breath, “you’re fucking obsessed with me.”
