The air at the abandoned warehouse was cold and smelled of rust. Maxton stepped out of his black car, his eyes cold and emotionless. He had come here to deal with Bryan, the man he believes threatens the integrity of the Retroferd name. He wanted to make sure that no one ever dared to touch what belonged to a Retroferd again.

Ring!

Ring!

But just as he reached the heavy metal doors of the warehouse, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw it was a call from the head of his esta

    The villa felt heavier that morning, a quiet solemnness hanging in the air as Maxton stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of his black suit. Carlos and Pascal waited near the door, both dressed the same, their expressions somber, none of them speaking much as the weight of the day settled over them.Raina stood nearby, watching Maxton straighten his jacket, her arms crossed as she worked up the courage to say what had been sitting on her mind since she'd learned about the funeral arrangements."Let me come with you," she said finally, stepping closer.Maxton didn't even look up from adjusting his cufflinks. "No.""Maxton, please," Raina pressed, moving to stand directly in front of him now, forcing him to meet her eyes. "These men died protecting this family. I want to pay my respects too. I want to be there for their families, to show them we haven't forgotten their sacrifice."Maxton's expression softened slightly at her words, but his resolve didn't waver. "I understa

    Raina woke up to the sound of loud voices and hurried footsteps somewhere outside the villa. She blinked against the early morning light, reaching over instinctively to feel for Maxton beside her, but her hand met only cold, empty sheets.She sat up quickly and her heart was already starting to race. "Maxton?"She got no response in return, which meant he wasn't around.She climbed out of bed, wrapping her arms around herself against the morning chill, and made her way toward the door. The commotion outside grew louder the closer she got to the staircase, voices shouting instructions, the sound of boots moving quickly across the courtyard below.By the time she reached the bottom of the stairs, she spotted Ava standing near the front window, peering out anxiously, her whole body tense.Raina walked up quietly and tapped her on the shoulder. Ava jumped, letting out a small startled gasp before spinning around."Madam! You scared me," Ava said, pressing a hand to her chest."Sorry," Ra

    Bailey stood frozen beside her bed, her hand was still pressed against her burning cheek. The pain had already faded, but something else burned hotter underneath it and it refused to cool down.Her mind kept replaying the same thought over and over. It's all Raina's fault, everything that was going wrong in her life was because of Raina!Before Raina ever came into the Retroferd estate, her brothers spoiled her rotten. Whatever she wanted, she got and whatever tantrum she threw, they always tolerated her without any anger. Not once, not a single time in her entire life, had Carlos ever raised his hand against her.Now she has lost count of how many times he has hit her recently. Now she has become a joke to everyone in the estate and was even humiliated by being thrown in the basement."This is all because of her," Bailey muttered under her breath, her nails digging into her palm.Carlos took a slow breath, while watching her carefully from where he stood. "Bailey, look at me." He s

    Carlos yanked a shirt over his head and rushed out into the hallway, Marcus already moving quickly ahead of him, his footsteps echoing loudly against the marble floor of the villa's second level."Tell me exactly what happened," Carlos demanded, his voice tight with urgency as he fell into step beside his younger brother. "Start from the beginning. Don't leave anything out, Marcus. I need to know everything before we get there."Marcus's breathing was still uneven from running, but he forced himself to explain as clearly as he could while they hurried down the corridor, past startled maids who quickly pressed themselves against the walls to let them pass."After you and Boss agreed to let her go, I went straight to the basement and got her out myself," Marcus said, his words coming out fast. "She was so happy, Carlos. Crying, hugging me so tight I could barely breathe, saying she couldn't believe she was actually getting a second chance. I hadn't seen her smile like that in months.""

    Carlos walked out of the villa after dinner, a weight finally lifted from his shoulders for the first time in what felt like days. He didn't head to check on Bailey. He'd already done everything he could for her tonight. If she wasted this last chance he'd fought so hard to secure, that would be on her, not him.He spotted Pascal sitting on the porch at the side of the villa, a can of beer in his hand, his legs stretched out lazily in front of him as he stared up at the night sky.Carlos walked over, a small smile already tugging at his lips despite the exhaustion still clinging to him. Pascal looked up as he approached, offering the can without a word.Carlos took it, tilting his head back for a long, satisfying gulp before handing it back.Pascal finished off what remained in one go, then rose to his feet, crushing the can slightly before tossing it into the nearby bin with practiced precision.He turned back to look up at Carlos, his eyes catching the moonlight in a way that made

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR: Sending Her Away

    Maxton's hands tightened under the table, his eyes fixed on Carlos kneeling on the floor in front of him. In all the years Carlos had served as his right hand, through countless dangerous missions, through betrayals and battles and everything in between, Maxton had never once seen him drop to his knees like this. Not for anyone or anything.Raina couldn't sit still any longer. Her eyes were already stinging with tears as she pushed back her chair and walked over to Carlos, gently placing a hand on his shoulder."Carlos, please get up," she said softly. "Sit down and let's talk about this properly, we are a family here."Maxton's expression shifted slightly, the hard edge in his eyes easing just a little. Whatever anger had been simmering beneath his calm exterior seemed to soften at the sight of Carlos in such a state.Carlos slowly rose to his feet, his legs wobbling from the force with which his knees had struck the floor. Pascal moved quickly, stepping in to steady him, guiding hi

    Raina remained standing at the altar and some of the guests stared at her with pity while others had mocking expressions on their faces and were gloating over the fact that she wouldn't be acknowledged as the Don's wife by the Retroferds.Steps suddenly echoed on the stone floor and Lorenzo walked

    The cathedral was a monument to old blood and older sins. Its towering stone arches and stained-glass windows usually spoke of peace, but today, they felt like a cage. The pews were filled with the elite of the underworld, men in tailored suits with bulges under their jackets, and women whose diam

    The morning of the wedding arrived quickly. For forty-eight hours, Raina had been a prisoner in her own bedroom, the four walls closing in on her until the air felt thin and toxic. She hadn't slept or eaten the bland meals the guards slid through the door. She felt exhausted, her body aching from
