They killed my sister… the only family member I had" he said with a sardonic smile.
"What!" Beatrix exclaimed as she stared at Ricardo and her eyes welled up with tears, "I'm sorry, it must have been so hard..""I need a drink for this," Ricardo said as he got on his feet and went to the mini fridge located at the corner of the room.He took out a bottle of whiskey and handed one to me, "I don't have anything else, so I hope you drink whiskey" Ricardo said as he took his seat again beside Beatrix.After a deep sigh left his lips, he turned to Beatrix, who was sitting next to him. She had a worried look on her face"Are you okay?" Beatrix asked as she took his hands in his, rubbing circles on his palm in a comforting manner"Nah, not really. Even if it happened months ago, I couldn't stop thinking about the way I found her. Her dead body is still etched in my mind." Ricardo explained"I'm so sorry to hear that. Can I ask how she died?" Beatrix asked, and Ricardo's eyes hardened as he looked down at his drink before he took a gulp and moved his gaze back to Beatrice, who was still rubbing circles on his hand."She was killed by a very well-known mafia group. It was a few months back, but it felt like yesterday." Ricardo answered as the ache in his heart for the loss of his sister came back. He swore to protect her, but he failed.One thing is for sure he won't fail to take revenge on those who had hurt her, Ricardo thought to himself as he took another sip of his whiskey. The memories from that night came flooding back."That's terrible," Beatrix exclaimed."She wanted to be a journalist because she wanted people to always know the truth. She was just at the right place at the wrong time, those bastards killed her because she saw them kill someone and that person was her boyfriend, " Ricardo explained as Beatrix's eyes welled up in tears."Why would someone do that? She didn't do anything wrong, so why?" Beatrix muttered as she wiped the tears off her face"The heart-wrenching thing was that she and her boyfriend were killed in the comfort of the boyfriend, Jace's hostel, and the police closed the case like it was nothing.""What! Wait, I don't understand. ""They didn't meet their end on the road or in some dark alley," Ricardo began, his voice filled with anguish. "Those men, they followed him to the hostel where my sister was waiting for him. And they killed them both because he witnessed something he never should have.""I'm at a loss for words," Beatrix replied, stunned by the story of the death of Ricardo's sister, he and her were not so different after all, and maybe that is why she was drawn to him.Ricardo continued, his anger and grief evident in his trembling voice. "They left a gruesome message, you know? A warning to anyone who dared to cross them or tried to get revenge for their deaths. I've been relentlessly pursuing justice ever since. Those responsible must pay for what they did to her.""It must have been so hard for you, I'm sorry, you didn't deserve it," Beatrix said, her voice breaking because of the fact that she had been crying."Don't cry for me. It's all in the past, and I've gotten through it every day. Honestly, the only thing pushing me to live each day is my revenge, " Ricardo confessed as a pained smile formed on his face."Don't talk like that. You must have something else to live for?" Beatrix asked as she stared at his pained expression, "what about your parents? They must give you the will to live at least"Ricardo's voice quivered as he confided, "My parents are no longer with me, and it feels like I'm drifting in my world, struggling to stay afloat. Each day, this growing sense of anger consumes me, and I don't know how to make it go away." A sad smile tugged at his lips as he stared into space, and Beatrice, sensing the deep pain in his heart, nodded in understanding."Ricardo," Beatrix attempted to speak, but her voice failed her. She struggled to find words that could soothe the raging storm within his heart, for she had once stood in his shoes, and she knew all too well that nothing at that moment could ease the pain and fury he felt."I've spent countless nights," Ricardo's voice shook with emotion, "trying to piece together the puzzle, to uncover the names and faces behind this horrific crime against my sister, to just try and make sense of this situation, because why did they need to kill her? She was fucking innocent."Beatrix couldn't help but notice the difference in him. The confident, snarky man she had first met seemed like a distant memory. She wondered if this was the real Ricardo, hidden beneath all that hate.As her tear-stained face gazed at him, she realized how deeply this meeting had changed the relationship between them and if he could trust her with his secret maybe she could trust him with hers."You know, Ricardo," Beatrix said, her voice trembling with emotion. She looked up and found Ricardo gazing at her, his eyes filled with pain that resonated deeply within her. "We're not so different after all."Ricardo furrowed his brows. "What do you mean, Beatrice?""My life hasn't always been easy either. It started with losing my mother to cancer," Beatrix confessed."I'm so sorry to hear that," Ricardo said with genuine sympathy."That's not even the worst part," Beatrix continued, her voice cracking. "I lost my twin sister to an overdose because she couldn't cope with our mother's death."Ricardo struggled to find the right words, his own pain now mirrored in Beatrice's story. I guess she was right, we weren't so different after all."Then finally the one that broke me to the point where I almost ended everything, if not for Sensei Tanaka I wouldn't be here right now""What happened?""After enduring so many losses, I moved on, but the world cruelly took the final beacon of happiness in my life – my father, my guiding light, and the last remaining pillar of my family and it was all because of one man's greed."I'm confused Beatrice, what do you mean by one man's greed causing the death of your father?" Ricardo asked as his worried gaze focused on Beatrice. She looked like she was about to have a panic attack."I-" Beatrix tried to say something but her voice failed her as tears filled her eyes, she thought it wouldn't hurt as much since it happened a long ago, but now she knew that reopening old wounds wasn't as easy as it seemed on her head "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to," Ricardo said as he took her hands in his"I have to. It's just that I've never shared this story with anyone other than Sensei Tanaka. It's not a pleasant story," Beatrix said as her hold on Ricardo's hands tightened "Take deep breaths, in and out, in and out" Ricardo instructed and Beatrix did as he told her, "Yes just like that, breathe" As Beatrix listened to Ricardo's calming voice she began to calm down."Thank you, I think I'm calm now," Beatrix said as she gave him a small smile, "I'm rea
Beatrice's eyes widened in disbelief. "Did you just say the Ironclad Mafia?" She said as she stared at Ricardo, her shock evident on her face, which caused Ricardo to nod at her question"Yes, Beatrix. The Ironclad Mafia is responsible for my sister's death. Her boyfriend was in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw something he shouldn't have, so they had to get rid of them.""Please tell me you're joking," Beatrix asked as a fear laced her voice.Ricardo's face contorted with pain as he replied, "I wish I was, but I'm not. They're the reason my sister and her boyfriend are dead. Those guys didn't even lose any sleep after killing two kids. " "Ricardo," Beatrix began, her voice gentle but firm, "you have to understand how dangerous it is to go up against the Ironclad Mafia. They've controlled this city for decades, and they won't hesitate to eliminate threats, which you are.""I know the risks, Bea, but I can't let them get away with it. They've destroyed my life, and I can't ju
A small frown crept onto Ricardo's face as he gazed at Beatrix, whom he had just permitted to stay the night. She brimmed with excitement, exploring everything within her reach."Didn't we agree that you would do everything I tell you?" Ricardo questioned, his gaze intense as it focused on Beatrix "I'm sorry," Beatrix apologized, but moments later, she would disobey his orders once again, which pissed him off every time.Ricardo's frustration deepened as Beatrix's actions contradicted herself every time she apologized. She was acting like a little child touching anything that fascinated her."We had an agreement, Beatrix," Ricardo sighed, a mix of frustration and annoyance in his voice. "I need you to respect it."Beatrix nodded, her enthusiasm momentarily dimming. "I'll try my best, Ricardo. I'm sorry"Ricardo, visibly frustrated, said, "That wasn't what we agreed on when I said you could stay here, but you know what, never mind," before he left Beatrix in the sitting room and heade
The first thing Beatrix did when she opened her eyes was look around her somewhat confused as she was not usually in her bed and her tiny room but rather on the floor beside a hard and warm body making her gasp out slowly so as not to wake the person beside her as her memory is still groggy with the amount of alcohol she consumed last night.Wait! Last night! What happened last night? She closed her eyes again to collect the memories from last night and one by one like a reel playing in a theater everything came crashing down, instead of surprise a happy smile adorned her lips as it was her first ever sleepover even if she was not the same little girl who died to have a sleepover at her friend's place but last night her wish came true because of Ricardo and she is too giddy to think about anything else.Bea turned her body slightly towards the still sleeping Ricardo who seemed so at peace without his sister's death looming over him.She knows now what intrigued her in him, the same p
The entire day feels odd and weird for Ricardo as he doesn't quite seem to get Beatrix out of his head and there are two reasons for it, number one reason is she resembles so much as his sister Rylee as in she is as nosy as his sister at the same time damn too stubborn and fierce making him get pulled by her so easily.The second reason is because of what they did in the morning and how passionate it was and how hot they burned together and he just can't forget how good it feels seeing her riding him fully clothed and making him cum in his pants like a teenager.His sole focus is on his sister and the plan of revenge but with Beatrix, he is sidetracking and he can't let that happen.Ricardo gets ready to go to the martial academy to practice and strengthen his skills as well as put Beatrix out of his head he knows she won't be at the academy at this time and it will take her an hour to come so until then he can focus on himself.As predicted no one had come yet and the training area w
" Look at you! How shamelessly you are drying humping me right now and flirting with someone else minutes before." Ricardo growled angrily, breathing on Beatrix's neck as well as peppering kisses along her neck and face." What the hell! I was not flirting! Put me down, you bastard!" Bea tried to unwind her legs around Ricardo's hips but he held her legs tightly not letting her get down." Forget about everything Bea! Just feel this, just feel me." He thrust his clothed cock on her core making her whimper with need at the same time angry at his insult but her body won against her head and in no time she was grinding on him shamelessly as he called her before and feeling the intense pleasure." I want to taste you, will you let me?" Ricardo asked, his eyes turned dark with lust, and his strong jaw is clenched so hard as he is controlling himself from tearing her yoga pants and feasting on her pussy.Beatrix nodded her head in approval as words are the last thing on her mind and she is
" It's not that easy to join the gang, Ricardo. We have some rules and tests you have to follow and go through and once you succeed in those tests then you will officially be a member of the Black Clover gang." Rob explained while Roxy was assessing Ricardo with her blue eyes like she knew he had something up his sleeves." Fair enough! So when will these tests start?" Ricardo asked, excitedly and hopefully. " You didn't even care to know about the Rules! You need to follow the rules to take those tests as well as be our gang member." Roxy said, narrowing her eyes at him and moving forward." I was just excited, guys!" Ricardo played off coolly and he knows he will follow all the rules till he joins the gang and once he joins he doesn't want to follow anything or anyone." Hmm! We are going to make a deal tonight. We want us to join." Roxy said with a smirk and that smirk looked like trouble but Ricardo was not the one to step back from trouble and challenges." I Am in," Ricardo sai
"What the hell, Ricardo!" Beatrix screeched, still in shock at his revelation. She can't seem to wrap her head around the words."yeah! You heard right. I joined a mafia gang and the girl and the guy you saw at the diner when you stalked me were the members of that gang." Ricardo said, narrowing his eyes at her nosiness.Beatrix laughed awkwardly, not meeting his eyes, and tried to get up and hide somewhere so she wouldn't have to be awkward in front of him.How can she be so dumb? Blurting out about the girl and all. He sure now thinks she is weird and clingy right after first base." I'm sorry, I was just curious and I know it's wrong to follow you but I just did it…" Ricardo didn't let her finish before he pulled her onto him and shut her up with a kiss.Bea got comfortable on his lap straddling him and snaking her hands around his neck kissing him and gluing her body to his. His kisses are like drugs, addicting her and making her high." Let me return the favor, Ric," Beatrix whi
