Chapter 106 - Smoke And Blood

last update Last Updated: 2025-09-30 14:15:58

The penthouse smelled of leather, smoke, and sex when Jaxon’s phone rang. Raven was curled on his chest, her body finally slack from exhaustion. His arm was around her waist, protective even in sleep, but his gaze was already sharp as he reached for the phone.

“Talk,” he barked into the receiver, voice clipped.

The silence that followed was too long. Too heavy. His hand tightened on Raven instinctively, his entire body stiffening.

“It’s Inferno, boss,” came Dante’s voice, strained. “Zane hit the club on the other side of town, Inferno, he bombed the place."

For a moment, Jaxon said nothing. His eyes burned toward the window where the skyline glowed faintly with the first hints of dawn. Inferno wasn’t just another club, it was one of his oldest, a cornerstone in his empire, a symbol of his reach, and now? Smoke and rubble.

“How bad?” His voice was a growl dragged over broken glass.

“Five men dead. Another eight in the hospital. Civilians too. It was timed for peak hours.”

Raven stirred

  • Owned By The Don     Chapter 108 - Raven’s Resolve

    The city stretched beneath them like a nest of coiled serpents, lights burning against the dark, streets hissing with distant traffic, and the undercurrent of danger that never left. From the penthouse balcony, Raven leaned into the glass rail, the night air sharp against her cheeks. For once, her mind wasn’t on the chaos outside, but on the war inside her.She’d spent weeks fighting for a balance between two worlds, the investigative journalist who lived to uncover truths, and the woman who had fallen into the gravity of a man like Jaxon Morreau. One part of her burned with purpose, the other craved the sanctuary of his hands, his voice, his certainty, but tonight, clarity came like a blade cutting through fog.When the door behind her opened, she didn’t need to turn to know it was him. His footsteps carried weight, tempered now by the slow healing of his injuries, but the authority never dimmed.“You’ve been quiet all day,” Jaxon’s voice was low, threaded with the gravel of exhausti

  • Owned By The Don    Chapter 107 - The Cost Of Loyalty

    The night at the docks reeked of oil, salt, and rot. Cranes loomed like skeletons against the skyline, their rusted arms creaking in the wind. Containers stacked in uneven rows created shadows deep enough to swallow men whole. It was the kind of place Jaxon knew too well, perfect for a setup, perfect for blood,and he’d walked his men straight into it.The ambush hit faster that anticipated. One second they were moving in formation, boots crunching gravel, guns raised, the air tight with expectation. The next, explosions ripped from two stacked containers, fire blinding and deafening as bullets rained from the shadows above.“Down!” Jaxon roared, dragging Marco behind a crate as shrapnel tore the air. Sparks lit up the dark, fire painting everything in shades of hell. His men scattered, returning fire, but the positioning was wrong, they were boxed in, a perfect kill zone.“Boss!” Marco gasped, clutching his shoulder, blood spreading fast through his shirt. The man was barely twenty-fi

    The night after Jaxon reclaimed her should have brought peace, but sleep turned into a battlefield. Raven jerked awake with a muffled cry, the sheets twisted tight around her body like chains. Sweat slicked her skin. Her throat was raw as if she’d been screaming.The room was dark except for the low amber glow from the corner lamp. Jaxon was beside her instantly, as always, his hand on her waist, steady, unyielding.“Raven.” His voice was low, sharp with command but threaded with concern. “Look at me.”Her eyes snapped open, and for a moment, the shadows on the ceiling warped into bars, into the cage Zane had kept her in. She gasped, dragging herself upright, but Jaxon caught her wrists before she could thrash free.“It’s not him,” Jaxon said, his forehead pressing to hers. His tone didn’t rise, instead he anchored her with the sheer force of presence. “You’re not there. You’re with me.”Her body trembled, betrayal in every muscle. She wanted to believe him. She wanted to stay in the

    The city was still half-asleep when the convoy slid through its veins, black SUVs cutting across the slick streets like predators hunting in formation. Inside the lead car, silence stretched between Jaxon and Raven, taut and vibrating. Her hand rested in his, small against the calloused strength of his grip, but she didn’t try to pull away. Not once.The headlights washed over her pale face, and he caught her profile in fragments, her lashes trembling, her mouth pressed into a line that tried too hard to be strong. She didn’t cry. She never would, not where anyone else could see, but Jaxon had known her long enough to recognize the tiny fissures beneath her armor.Every mile home, his chest burned hotter. He had rescued her, but rescue wasn’t enough. Zane’s poison still lingered in her blood, and until Jaxon burned it out, he wouldn’t rest.When the SUV pulled beneath the private elevator at his tower, Jaxon barked a single command.“Stay here. No one follows.”His men knew better tha

  • Owned By The Don    Chapter 103 - Retribution

    The morning fog clung to the docks like a shroud. Jaxon’s boots hit the wet concrete with precision, echoing in the hollow industrial skeleton around him. Six men flanked him, Viktor, Dante, Luca, and three handpicked lieutenants he trusted with his life. Every step, every breath, was measured; every heartbeat thudded in tandem with the fear he refused to show.Unit 14 loomed ahead, its rusted metal doors groaning against the wind. A layer of grime and decay masked its past, but Jaxon didn’t need vision to sense life inside. He had Raven’s message, encoded and clear. She was waiting, and he was going to find her, no matter the cost.“Positions,” Jaxon barked, signaling the men with the slight flick of a hand.Two crouched against the walls, rifles raised. Dante scaled a rusted ladder to the roof, binoculars already trained. Viktor tapped the comms, eyes scanning. Luca checked his pistol, then nodded toward Jaxon. “Ready when you are.”Jaxon exhaled slowly, feeling the ache in his ribs
