“Boss, he hasn’t come out yet. There's still no sight of him.”

The voice crackled through the small earpiece Julian had in his right ear. He sat in the driver’s seat of his black SUV, parked in a shady corner across the street from the nondescript building. The evening sun was starting to dip lower, casting long shadows over the quiet street.

But all that didn't move Julian the slightest bit, he had been sitting here for hours, fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel.

He pressed the

    •```•```•```• Elian stepped into the syndicate building silently. He kept his head slightly lowered, the black communication device fitted snugly in his ear and a pair of dark sunshade perched on his nose. The shade looked ordinary at a glance, but it was anything but. It was fitted with a hidden camera and scanning software that recorded everything in front of him. He walked in step with two guards, blending into their pace and posture as if he was one of them. The men beside him talked freely, unaware of who was listening. Elian barely registered their conversation. His attention stayed sharp, eyes moving carefully behind the dark lenses as he scanned the hallway, the corners, the placement of cameras. Every few seconds the glasses processed what he saw, quietly mapping the interior. Up ahead, near a secured entrance, Mark stood with two other guards. His posture was rigid and stoic, perfectly matching the men beside him. To anyone else, he looked like just another armed pres

    Some minutes later, they all gathered in the living room. All five of them. The atmosphere was heavy and awkward from the moment everyone sat down. Elian was still at the same spot on the couch, expression closed off. He didn’t look at Elena more than once, and even then his gaze was cold and brief. James stood near the wall behind him, arms crossed. His eyes stayed mostly on Elian. While Mark sat on the opposite side of the room, by the closed window, jaw tight, face set into stone. He kept glancing between Elian and James, as if expecting another argument to start at any second. You couldn't blame him, really. In the short time he'd come to know his boss's husband's right hand man, he had realized James and his boss was alike in so many ways. They were both stubborn, had little patience, and would get ticked off by the littlest things. Elena remained in the chair across from the couch where Elian was seated, hands resting carefully on her lap. She looked composed, but

    The room froze, plunging into a sudden deep silence. Elena was the one that moved first. In one smooth motion she reached under the table, pulled out a compact black pistol, and raised it toward the hallway, both hands steady despite the sudden tension in her shoulders. Her eyes were fixed sharply on the dark corridor where the sound had echoed from. Dex stood up just as quickly, body coiled and ready, drawing out his own gun too. Very much on alert and prepared for whatever was about to walk through that doorway. Unlike Elian, who didn't move an inch from where he sat on the chair. He leaned into the couch like nothing was wrong, one arm resting along the backrest, expression completely unbothered. The contrast was almost unsettling. While Elena remained standing with her gun aimed and her finger close to the trigger, and Dex no less the same, Elian looked as if he had already decided the situation wasn’t worth the effort. The silence stretched, thick and heavy, keeping them

  • Scarlet Obsession [BL]   Chapter 68-The Code of the underworld

    The room plunged into a sudden silence. The cup in Elian’s hand froze mid-air, and he just simply stared at Elena as if the words coming out of her mouth didn't make sense. Dex’s face had turned cold instantly. He looked at Elena like she had just said the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard. True, Dex knew his father wasn’t a saint. In many ways, Derek Russo was worse than Jacob Virelli even. But the idea that his own father would go to this extent, that he would plan his son’s death from the very beginning, felt almost absurd. What the hell was even going on? “Elaborate,” Dex said finally, voice low and controlled. He was trying as much as possible to not throw every plan he had in his head to the fog instead. It gets to a point. Elena exhaled slowly, her fingers tightening together on her lap. “The marriage was never about bringing two heirs together. It was a twisted deal between Derek and Jacob. They were following an old underworld code… a quiet challenge between tw

  • Scarlet Obsession [BL]   Chapter 67-Elian was never the Target

    By the time they reached their destination, the sun was already setting. The sky had turned a deep orange that slowly bled into purple, and the first hints of night were settling over the open land. The long drive had drained both of them. Dex and Elian sat in the back in complete silence the entire way. Elian had a million things he wanted to say, he had questions, but every time he opened his mouth, Dex shot him a sharp look that was enough to shut him up again. After hours of driving through empty roads and endless green fields, they finally arrived at a very haunted-looking building. It stood alone in the middle of nowhere. There were no other buildings or signs of life in sight, just a wide stretch of overgrown grass and a few dying trees. The place looked abandoned at first glance, it had cracked walls, dark dusty windows, and a heavy eerie silence that felt unnatural. Elena drove the car toward a rusted iron gate that looked like one solid hit would make it collapse. Surpri

  • Scarlet Obsession [BL]   Chapter 66-At The End Of Tunnel

    Dex sighed for what felt like the millionth time and turned another sharp corner. They had been down here for about fifteen minutes. The air was cool and damp, and the only source of light came from the small torch in Dex’s hand, casting long shadows along the rough walls. Elian had no idea where they were or where they were going. And his husband… The moment they had gotten inside and the wall sealed shut behind them, Dex had only said two words. “Follow me.” He had turned on the torch and started leading the way. Since then, he hadn’t said anything else. Just the occasional sigh and the steady sound of their footsteps echoing in the narrow passage. Another sigh came from Dex, and this time, Elian couldn’t keep his silence. “Are you okay?” he asked. Dex didn’t stop walking. “Does it look like I’m okay to you?” he replied sharply. Elian’s eyes narrowed. “Hey.” He reached forward, grabbed Dex’s arm, and turned him around swiftly so they were face to face. The torch light caugh

    Elian breathed hard, his senses going haywire as he jumped Dex and they both went down hard. Dex fell to the floor first and then Elian, right on top of him. Elian wrapped around Dex's neck and he squeezed with a sickening glint in his eyes. He wanted to see as life left his eyes, he wanted to be

    Elian's fingers drummed on the table repeatedly as Marie, his personal assistant, ran through the details of the ongoing shipment of weapons which seemed to be at stake at the moment. But Elian didn't hear anything Marie was saying, all her words were flying over his head as he kept staring at the

    “You both look…well rested.” Jacob, Elian's grandfather, said finally after eating in silence for the past ten minutes.Jacob, Derek, Dex and Elian sat at the table for brunch. Surprisingly, the both of them had come down at the same time for their late breakfast when it was announced that Elian's

    Elian stormed into the wildly decorated bedroom, already peeling off every layer of clothing on him. He threw the million dollar suit on him to the floor and turned to glare at his rival, aka his husband, who just walked past him, pretending as if he wasn't even standing there.Anger boiled in him
