“Mrs. Waldorf?” I fluttered my eyes up towards my secretary, drenched with proposals that I needed to scan by myself. My eyes spoke for me.

“Mr. Lucio Sterling is outside. He wanted to see you.” I almost jammed through the proposals on my table as I swiftly rose from my swivel chair.

“You should have let him right away, Philo. Mr. Lucio Sterling isn't someone we make wait outside my office.” Strutting towards the door and my hand, making sure that I look presentable, Philo followed my traces to the frosted glass door.

“Mr. Sterling, a pleasant surprise.” Through line of vision, I caught a few eyes glancing at us, muttering something within themselves.

“Please, come in,” I encouraged him warmly, disregarding the meaningful gazes of the on-lookers.

“You met my father?” I asked him as I perched in my chair. Mr. Sterling sneered.

“You're an angel, aren't you? After what he did to you, still, you deem him your father. You're nothing like Warren Hayes. You're like William Hayes.

    IrinaScreams and gasps filled the place. Leandro jumped a punch at Damian. Lucio ordered Kaius and Hyunjin to break the two from each other while I was left zoning out at the portrait."Let go of me! I'll kill that man. I will fucking end him. How dare you go near my wife ha?""Leandro!" Lucio's warning call bombed the place. The hard-headed Sterling stopped struggling to get the freedom that he wanted from both Hyunjin and Kaius's grip."Leandro you know better. Places like this have rules that no one can break even if you're the patriarch," the old man reminded his grandson. Leandro shoved his best friend and Hyunjin.Leandro reins in my cheeks. He looked at Damian who was being helped to stand back on his feet."Did he do something to you? Did he touch you?" I shake my head at Leandro."If you don't believe me. A DNA test is a great resort to prove that I'm not lying to you." Leandro throws a cold sta

    IrinaThe necklace was a bit heavy, the heaviest out of all the diamond necklaces that I wore. Having the Sterling around my neck made me aware of every breath that I took and let go."Ahvi is it safe to wear this at the auction? What if this got stolen from me? What if I got kidnapped because they wanted to take this necklace from me?" Ahvi panned a wide grin at me."This necklace is worth millions. This will be a hot item for thieves," I said again. Ahvi missed the chance to respond."The place was secured like it's the U.S. military base. If that wasn't enough to assure your safety, we have our own security tailing us, the best out of their litter, and Leandro will be next to you at all times. Nothing will happen.""How are you sure? How can you be so sure?""Because when I turned eighteen and until last year I was wearing that necklace in every event like this auction. Nothing happens, except for people staring at me

    Irina"Hi." It took me a good minute to process whether what I was seeing was real."It's a miracle that you're here and aren't stuck in one of your important meetings," I replied genuinely, and yet it sounded like I was being sarcastic towards him.Leandro sipped on his coffee while he was at it. He pulled a chair for me with ease."I asked the staff to serve your favorite," Leandro spoke the obvious. I stretched my arm to pat off the foam of his cappuccino from his upper lips."You said that you'd let me think thoroughly before I decide whether I'd join Dark Society or not.""I did. I remember telling you that last night," he said meaningfully. I know that he remembered something else from last night."Then what's all this? You're lurking around, Leandro.""May I know why I can't look around? You hate it when I'm busy and not around. You hate it too when I am around. Nothing that I do pleases

    IrinaLeandro locked the door. I was already wagging my hands to escape his grasp, but none of my attempts succeeded.Once he was sure that I wouldn't be able to leave the room through the door, he let me slip away from his hand."You were holding me too tightly, it hurts!" I whined like a five-year-old finding a way to find fault with someone else even when it was my fault, while I slid straight into this trouble.Leandro stands proudly. His eyes were ablaze with both lust and impatience."Kneel, Irina." His voice was laced with patience carefully sewn and attached to it, yet Leandro still sounded like he'd burn the world with me if I didn't follow him."Are you letting me repeat myself, Irina? Kneel now or I'll have you chained in that fucking bed and overstimulate you until you pass out."I was feeling a little goofy. I wanted to cross more of his line and see when and how he'd snap at me."Leandro you know h

    Irina I've already seen Kaius dragging his feet towards me, yet I acted like I didn't notice his presence. He breathed deeply and scratched the back of his head frustratedly."To you, everything we do all boils down to us being a heartless murderer. Believe it or not, we have a reason why we do what we do," Kaius started to explain and I stopped pretending like he's a ghost I can't see."Rufus' father betrayed Lucio, Irina. Lucio almost died in an ambush because of his father. I admit, at that time, Rufus had nothing to do with this. He shouldn't have suffered.""He's a collateral to his father's betrayal. Rufus's father brought that fate upon himself and Rufus did the same thing to himself.""It's so stupid of them to think that DS and the patriarch wouldn't retaliate to their actions."Kaius stuck out his tongue to wet his lips."There is no way we could spare Rufus's life. If we give him the position that he want

    IrinaThe door opened. A sigh of disappointment escaped my lips as I saw a maid with my food enter the room."It's dinner time, Mrs. Sterling.""Wow!" I scoffed sarcastically, "I'm Mrs. Sterling now.""The patriarch's real surname was Sterling, and you are his wife. Mrs. Sterling was the right way to address you." I snapped my fingers and a life jolted in my body with the thought that I found a hole out of this hell."Tell Leandro to come here. I need to talk to him.""The patriarch will come up here when his time allows it. The patriarch is currently in the middle of an important meeting." I stood up and sauntered to the table where she put my food. I snagged the steak knife from the plate and placed it near my wrist."Leandro might quickly find a time to come up here once he hears that I slit my wrist." I was internally whimpering in pain as I cut through my wrist but was forced to keep a straight face
