The underground arena was already loud and the sound could be heard miles away.

Not the polite kind of loud…The kind that hit you in the chest the moment you walked through the door, voices bouncing off concrete walls, smoke hanging in the air, the sharp smell of sweat and tension mixed together.

The crowd was packed and there was no space left as they all stood, everyone buzzing with the kind of energy that only showed up when people expected a good fight.

Raina changed extremely fast, she wr

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN: A Parting Gift

    Raina was still sitting beside Maxton's bed, staring at his hands without blinking.Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and nothing seemed to be making any sense.She continued staring at his hands, the same hand she had held the entire drive back from that warehouse. She traced the lines of his knuckles slowly with her thumb, not thinking about it, just doing it, because her mind couldn't focus on anything else.Her mind kept going in circles and lots of questions filled her head.Why?That was the only question she couldn't get away from. Why would he do this?Things had been good between them. They had been building something real together, she had felt it and it was definitely not something she had imagined.Was it?She pressed her lips together and looked at the wall. She was tired in a way that went beyond just not sleeping. It was the kind of tiredness that settles in your bones and made everything feel slightly too heavy to carry.Suddenly, she felt a hot gaze on her face an

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN: Talk to the Doctor

    Carlos stared at Bailey sitting on the hospital bed, blood still drying on the side of her face, a nurse was pressing a clean cotton wool against the cut on her head.He had not said one word since they left Maxton's room. He had just grabbed Bailey by the arm, guided her out, and walked her down to the first floor with Pascal trailing behind them. His mind was somewhere else entirely, turning over the same thing again and again like a stone in his hand that he couldn't figure out what to do with.The scene of Raina tearing up the divorce papers and sitting beside Maxton's bed like nothing happened, left him baffled.He kept wondering what suddenly went wrong and why Maxton suddenly wants a divorce.Could Evan have done something before he died?What could threaten the Don so much?He kept thinking of a possible explanation but nothing came to his mind. But suddenly he was pulled out of his thoughts by Bailey's high pitched voice."I can't believe her," Bailey said angrily from the ho

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE: She Will Not Live To See Tomorrow

    Raina's hands started shaking the moment her mind processed those two words.She read them again and again. Like maybe she had misread the first time, or maybe her brain was playing tricks on her because of everything she had been through in the last twelve hours.But the bold words, ‘DIVORCE AGREEMENT’ still stood majestically at the top of the page, making it impossible for her not to believe what she was seeing.Her legs suddenly became unsteady under her and she stumbled backward. Lorenzo instantly rushed to her side and his hands caught her before she could go all the way down, steadying her with both arms while his own eyes stayed locked on the papers.He couldn't see what was written on it clearly but from how Raina was reacting to it, he knew it can't be anything good.Raina grabbed the papers with shaky hands, tears already rapidly rolling down her face before she had even made a conscious decision to cry. She read through the whole thing, line by line, her eyes scanning fran

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT: A Slight Hesitation

    It had been a few hours since Carlos and Pascal walked out of the hospital building, and nobody had heard a single word from either of them.The clean up team arrived at the hospital after taking care of everything in the woods. They were all in the waiting area on the first floor, awaiting news of how Maxton was doing.Bailey sat in the waiting area with her injured hand resting on her knee, and her eyes flicking to the entrance every few minutes. Marcus sat beside her, with his head leaning back against the wall. The other men who had come with them were scattered around the room, some dozing, some staring at their phones, all of them wearing the same heavy, drained look of people who had been through a lot in one night.When Carlos and Pascal finally walked through the entrance, Bailey sat up straight immediately and she couldn't wait to ask them how Maxton was doing.Carlos looked like he had aged in just a few hours. His face was slightly pale and his jaw was set in a tight line,

    Almost half an hour later, the emergency room door finally opened again and Carlos walked out with a complicated expression.His expression was a clear indication that something was terribly wrong and Raina saw it immediately. The way he was walking too fast, eyes down and not looking at anyone. She pushed off the wall and went straight towards him with an anxious expression."Carlos." She grabbed his arm while staring at his face. "How is he? What did he say to you?"Carlos stopped and looked at her hand on his arm, then looked away. "He is stable." He replied stiffly."That's not what I asked." Raina said angrily."Raina…." Carlos began."Why did he ask for you?" Raina didn't let him speak, as she immediately interrupted him. Her voice was already breaking as her emotions were heightened. "Why you and not me? I'm his wife, Carlos. What is going on?"Carlos didn't answer her question, he just quietly took her hand off his arm and started walking away without a word.Just like that,

    Pascal drove like the road owed him something and his grip on the steering wheel was extremely tight as he kept looking at the back through the rearview mirror every few minutes.Every red light and slow car in front of them made Raina's chest tighten another notch. She sat in the back with Maxton's head still in her lap, one hand pressed flat against his chest, counting his breaths like each one was a small gift she was terrified of losing."Almost there," Pascal said from the front, more to himself than anyone else.Carlos said nothing, he just watched Maxton's face the whole ride, his own jaw tight, his hands resting on his knees with a stillness that only people who had seen the worst kind of things could manage.When the hospital finally came into view, Raina let out a breath she felt like she had been holding since the warehouse.There were already doctors and nurses waiting outside with a stretcher, which meant Carlos had made calls during the drive without her even noticing.

    Michael's smile dropped just enough to show that the question had landed somewhere uncomfortable before he could fully prepare for it."What do you mean?" he asked.Xander looked at him with the patient expression of someone who had already decided they were done being polite but was giving one las

    Raina stood exactly where she was with her eyes on the man in the wheelchair and her brain doing something it almost never did.It went completely silent like every thought that had been running at full speed for the past several hours had hit a wall at the same time and stopped dead, and she could

    The taxi stopped two streets from the Valente mansion.Raina had told the driver to stop there deliberately. She wasn't going to pull up to the front gate in a civilian car and give Michael's guards thirty seconds of warning. She was going to come in from the side road through the gap in the east w
