"Oh? What's the status?" Khiro asked.

"I need updates. Talk." My voice was sharp, commanding. No time for games.

Every damn day, I get closer to justice. Closer to the bastard who ruined my life. But something always gets in the way. Always pulling me back from delivering the revenge I've been dying for.

"We've locked down five of his possible locations. Our guys are watching each one for any movement. You want to take a point, or should we handle it?"

"He killed my mother." My fist clenched tight. "This is personal. Leave him to me."

"Got it. It's your call, Leo. Just remember-we've only got coordinates. We still don't know who their top man is. And this bastard moves. A lot. We're trying to figure out how he keeps playing the system."

"I'll never forget his face. That smug look he gave after taking my mother's life... I see it every night. But when we meet again, the last thing he'll ever see is my face." I ended the call without waiting for a reply.

Ten years. Ten long years since I last saw him. And for every year, every day he breathed-I've stacked a debt. And I'll make damn sure he pays in full.

The door creaked open. I turned. It was my assistant-my sweet, innocent assistant.

She was panting, skin glistening with sweat. Probably ran all the way here. Fuck, just the sight of her had my cock twitching.

"So-sorry, sir..." She leaned against the doorframe, trying to catch her breath.

"Do you even know what time it is?" I asked, keeping my tone controlled.

"Sorry, sir. Traffic." Her chest rose and fell with each breath, and my eyes locked on the subtle bounce.

"What the hell are you wearing?" I narrowed my eyes, scanning her from head to toe.

She had no clue what she was doing to me. That dress hugged her too perfectly-her creamy legs, her elegant neck. I had to grit my teeth to hold back the images flooding my mind.

"Follow me."

...

I parked outside a salon. As much as I enjoyed seeing her in that dress, I didn't enjoy the stares my male staff kept giving her. I'm territorial, and I don't like to share.

A young man named Fabio greeted us. Best stylist in town-and my cousin.

"Damn. She's beautiful. Your girlfriend?"

He looked her up and down like she was art. And even though I knew he liked men, I didn't like him admiring my woman.

"She's my secretary. We've got a high-stakes meeting today. Make her look sharp."

I handed her a paper bag. Inside was her uniform: crisp white blouse, fitted black skirt, and a slim blazer.

I'll be honest-I couldn't stop thinking about that outfit when I first got it. I even got myself off just looking at her skirt. The way the fabric clung, how it would look with my cum painted on it... or better-on her skin, or dripping down her throat like her favorite drink.

But I'm not a complete bastard. I wiped it off before handing it over.

While they worked on her look, I waited in the lobby. My phone rang-an important call.

"Talk."

"I found her. Full name. Address. Background. Work details. Everything."

Tyellian.

...

"Sir, Mr. Navickas will be arriving around 3 PM. I can prep the boardroom by 2, and if we get there by 1:30, I'll have enough time to set up," she reminded me.

"No problem. I'll make sure we're on time."

The ride was quiet. A little too quiet. She tried to break it.

"So... tell me something about you."

She was the first woman I ever let eat in my car.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I asked, casually handing her a tissue for the ketchup on her lip. She took it with a small nod. She didn't know what that tissue had been through.

"No, I don't," she replied.

I smirked. Oblivious. Completely.

"When do you want to get married?" I asked directly.

"I'm not sure... I want to be successful first. I want to take care of my family."

When I ran out of questions, she asked something that made me tense up.

"Sir... where did you get that bracelet?"

My hand gripped the wheel tighter. I glanced at the wooden beads on my wrist.

"My first love gave it to me. In Pangasinan."

I ran my tongue along my lower lip before saying her name.

"Tyellian."

    “Come on, Trinity! You used to be better than me at this!” Axcel yelled from the water, balancing perfectly on his board while the waves curled beneath him like playful giants.I squinted under the golden sun, my fingers adjusting the strap of my rash guard. “That was four years ago, Axcel!"He laughed, effortlessly riding a wave and then diving off with that same carefree charm he’s always carried—like the world was too small to weigh on his shoulders.I paddled out, determined to reclaim some dignity. The water was warm against my skin, familiar and foreign all at once. It had been years since I’d done anything remotely close to this. I used to chase deadlines and meetings—now I was chasing waves.Axcel paddled over and steadied my board as I repositioned. “You’ve got this. Wait for the right one. Patience.”“Something you never had,” I teased.He smirked. “Maybe I’ve changed.”The wave came, and this time I stood—shaky but standing. The adrenaline roared through me like the ocean i

    Five yearsIt still feels surreal to say it out loud.If you told the woman I used to be that I’d be here—running a chain of Clothing Line across Philippines, speaking at global business summits, dressing in custom-designed power suits, flying first class from country to country—she would’ve laughed in disbelief. Now, I live in glass towers, I walk across marble floors in five-inch heels, I sign contracts worth millions. People address me as “Ma'am Ty,” their eyes filled with admiration and fear. I built a fortress of success so high, even my memories couldn’t climb it. Or at least, that’s what I wanted to believe.Because the truth is, no matter how high I’ve risen… my shadows always find me.Today was one of those days—endless meetings, back-to-back presentations, and a last-minute video call with the Singapore investors who wanted to renegotiate our stake agreement. I nailed it all, of course. I always do. There’s a certain power in knowing no one expects you to fail. You become u

    The moment they took her, something inside me snapped.Not the heartbroken kind of snap. No. This was deeper. Sharper. I didn’t feel pain. I felt wrath. Pure, undiluted rage. And it was about to consume everything in its path.I stormed into the estate’s war room, where the core of Nostra Affari waited in silence. My men stood tall, dressed in black, weapons ready, waiting for orders.“They took her,” I growled, eyes locked on the map displayed across the wall. "I want them dead."No one asked questions. They knew better. This wasn’t just about vengeance—it was personal. I wasn’t just the heir to an empire tonight. I was death in a suit.Sky entered, tablet in hand, sweat beading his forehead. “I tracked Nicole’s convoy heading north—Ilocos Norte. They’ve stopped near a shoreline and has a fucking chopper waiting there.”My jaw clenched. “They’re taking her somewhere. She’s not going to make it to that chopper.”I turned to my men. “Mobilize everything. Ground teams, air units, satell

    The moment Leo pulled me into his arms, blood-stained and breathless, I felt a sliver of peace. For the first time in what felt like forever, I thought I was safe. The gold-masked man was cuffed and unconscious. The basement faded behind us like a bad dream.But that illusion shattered the moment we stepped out into the open.The night exploded.A hail of bullets pierced the air from nowhere—windows shattered, tires blew, and Leo immediately shielded me with his body. “Get down!” he shouted, dragging me behind an overturned car.I couldn’t see where the shots were coming from at first. But then I heard her voice. Cold. Mocking. Familiar. Nicole.She stepped out from a black SUV like she owned the damn warzone. Dressed in all black, hair slicked back, sunglasses at night like she was untouchable. Behind her, a fleet of armed men emerged—fully geared, tactically aligned. An army. Her army.She smirked, holding a pistol. “You didn’t think I’d just let you walk away with him, did you?”

    The first thing I noticed was the smell-damp concrete, mold, and something metallic I couldn't quite place. Blood, maybe. The air was thick and suffocating, like it hadn't been disturbed in years. I was shivering-not because of the cold, but because of what I had just survived.My wrists ached from the rough zip ties cutting into my skin, and the blindfold they'd used was still half-hanging around my neck. I sat on the cold, unforgiving floor of what looked like an abandoned basement, lit only by a flickering bulb swinging above me like a slow, ticking clock.I wanted to scream for help. I wanted to run. But I couldn't do either.My belly-my baby-was the only thing keeping me grounded. *Don't panic. You need to stay calm. For the baby.I heard voices upstairs. Muffled. Angry. Barked commands. Footsteps. One set. Then two. Then silence.Then the door creaked open.A man entered, his shadow cast long and crooked across the floor. He wasn't the one from earlier-the one who shoved me into

    I thought we were just attending a corporate event. That was all I expected. I never imagined this. I always believed Leo would propose after I gave birth—that’s how I pictured it in my head. “I love you so much, Trinity,” he whispered as he pulled me into a tight embrace. I returned it with the same intensity, melting into his arms. This is it. We’re finally getting our own version of happily ever after.…As we entered the hotel, the party was already in full swing. People were dancing, laughing, and living in the moment. Leo and I joined in for a slow dance. I gently rested my head on his shoulder, his arms wrapping securely around my waist like he never wanted to let go.“You’ve spoiled me with so many surprises today, Leo,” I murmured against him. “Now it’s my turn. After the party, I have something to tell you.” There was anticipation bubbling inside me, a secret waiting to be set free. “I’ve never really been excited about surprises until now,” I added softly. “Maybe b
