Xavier's Rage I

Author: Retroferd
last update Last Updated: 2025-02-28 17:34:11

Hours had passed since Victor's assault at the club. The digital clock on Xavier's desk blinked 11:55 PM, its red glow casting eerie shadows across his office. Xavier had just returned from his meeting with the Moretti family—a crucial alliance he'd been nurturing for months which was shaken by the attack on his drug shipments—only to be greeted with news of Joshua's attack. His pristine suit jacket lay discarded on the leather couch, his tie loosened, and several buttons of his shirt undone.

Selena stood at the far end of the room, her back pressed against the wall. Her red dress from the club was wrinkled now, mascara smudged beneath her eyes. She hadn't been allowed to change. Xavier had summoned her immediately upon his return, his voice cold with barely contained fury when he called.

"You had ONE fucking job!" Xavier roared, pacing like a caged animal. The office that usually screamed power and luxury now felt like an execution chamber for her. "You were supposed to watch over

    Selena moved from her position against the wall, her legs stiff from standing so long in one place. She knelt down, reaching for the small plastic ghost that had skidded beneath a chair. Her fingers closed around it, and she examined it briefly. The ghost was white with hollow eyes and a gaping mouth—a child's toy, perhaps, but in this context, it seemed to mock them all. She almost smirked. It screamed Victor in every way—his signature, his message. The Ghost had returned. But she quickly schooled her features back to neutrality before rising and placing the toy in Xavier's outstretched, bloodied hand. Xavier studied it intently, turning it over between his fingers. "Who the fuck is this from?" he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. "Who's my new enemy?" His brow furrowed in concentration as he stood up from the soldier's bloodied form. The young guard slowly pulled himself to his knees, blood dripping steadily from his nose, one eye already swelling shut. "Joshua's in the

    Three hours earlier Victor's motorcycle roared through the empty streets as he sped away from the club. His hands gripped the handles so tight they hurt, but the pain felt good. It kept him focused, kept him from thinking too much about what he'd just done to Joshua. "Bastard deserved worse," he muttered into his helmet, the wind whipping his words away. The streets blurred past him, but his mind wasn't on the road. It kept drifting back to the club, to Selena's face when she'd seen him. The shock in her eyes. The fear. But there was something else there too, something that nagged at him. "Stop it," he growled to himself. "She betrayed you. She watched them shoot you. She doesn't deserve your thoughts." But his mind had a will of its own tonight. A memory surfaced, unwanted and sharp. Selena, five years ago, telling him she needed to go away for a while. "Just a year," she'd said, her eyes not quite meeting his. "I need to handle some family business." "A whole year?" he

  • Sinful Desires   Thoughts II

    The next day Victor woke up with a slight headache. He cursed as he stood up and stretched in his underwear, his muscular frame catching the morning light that filtered through the half-drawn curtains. Years of rigorous training had sculpted his body into a weapon—broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, abs defined like carved stone, and arms corded with muscle. The scars that decorated his torso told stories of survival, the most prominent being three puckered circles on his chest where bullets had torn through him five years ago. He sat down on the edge of his bed, rubbing his temple while unbidden thoughts of Selena crept into his mind again. The way her eyes had widened at the club, that flicker of something beyond fear... "Damn it," he muttered, pushing the thoughts aside. He had more important things to worry about. His next move against Xavier needed to be calculated, devastating. As his thoughts churned, voices echoed in the corridor approaching his room. "For the last

    Selena jolted at the sharp knock on her bedroom door. She'd been staring at the same spot on the wall for nearly an hour, her mind still racing with thoughts of Victor's return. What it meant. What would happen now. She quickly draped a silk robe around her slender frame and padded to the door. When she opened it, she found one of Xavier's men standing there—the new recruit Xavier had beaten bloody just days ago. The swelling on his face had reduced to ugly purple marks that told their own story of Xavier's temper. "Boss wants to see you," he said, his eyes carefully avoiding hers. "Right away." Selena's stomach tightened. "Tell him I'll be there in ten minutes." The man nodded and left without another word. Selena closed the door, leaning against it as dread pooled in her belly. Xavier's summons rarely brought good news, especially after Victor's dramatic reappearance. She dressed mechanically—a simple navy dress that reached her knees, her long dark hair pulled back into a neat

    "I'm just saying, if you weren't so damn stubborn, we could have been done with this hours ago," Jordan said, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. His dark eyes glinted with fake annoyance as he stared at Maria. Maria scoffed, as she stared at him, her short hair bobbling. "And I'm saying your plan was stupid. Following Xavier's new right-hand man into a crowded nightclub after the recent death of the last one? That's amateur move." "It worked in Barcelona," Jordan shot back. "Barcelona was different and you know it," Maria countered, her voice rising. "Xavier isn't some small-time thug. He has eyes everywhere." Victor sat at the large mahogany desk, maps and surveillance photos spread before him. He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to focus on the information he had gathered on Xavier's operation. But the bickering behind him made it impossible to concentrate. "At least my plan didn't involve seducing the bartender," Jordan muttered. Maria's eyes widened. "That

    "Boss! Boss! BOSS!" Jordan's voice boomed through the hallway before the door to Victor's private office burst open. Victor looked up from the map he'd been studying with Gerald and Maria, his expression darkening at the interruption. The room was small but elegant, with heavy curtains drawn against the afternoon light and a single desk lamp casting shadows across their faces. "Jordan," Victor said, his voice deceptively calm. "We've talked about boundaries, haven't we? Knocking, perhaps?" Jordan waved away the comment, his breath coming fast like he'd run up several flights of stairs. "It's important." "It better be," Victor replied, leaning back in his leather chair. "Or I might have to remind you what happens to people who waste my time." Maria smirked from her position by the window, clearly enjoying Jordan's discomfort. Gerald merely raised an eyebrow, his stoic expression giving nothing away. Despite the thinly veiled threat, Jordan pressed on. "I found a way for you to ge

    Two days later, Victor stood before the full-length mirror in his bedroom, adjusting the pristine cuffs of his midnight-black suit. The tailored Italian fabric hugged his broad shoulders and tapered perfectly at his narrow waist, highlighting the lean, muscular physique he'd maintained through rigorous training. Five years of rebuilding himself had transformed his body into a weapon—efficient, powerful, and deadly. His facehad hardened into sharp angles and shadowed hollows. A thin scar traced his jawline, barely visible unless you knew to look for it. His dark eyes reflected nothing, giving away none of the storm that raged within him. Victor straightened his red tie and exhaled slowly. Tonight wasn't just about information gathering. It was about returning to the grave Xavier had dug for him. When he finally stepped out of his room, he found Jordan, Maria, and Gerald waiting in the foyer of the penthouse. Their reactions were immediate and varied. Maria's eyes widened, a sof

    Selena hummed softly as she applied the final touches to her makeup, her mind still lingering on the afternoon she'd spent with Miguel. The memory of his laughter warmed her from within as she reached for her lipstick. "Mama, look!" he had shouted earlier that day, proudly holding up a drawing of what appeared to be two stick figures—one tall, one small—standing before a house with an impossibly large sun beaming down on them. "It's beautiful, mi vida," she had whispered, fighting back tears as she gathered him into her arms. Four years old and already so talented, so perfect. "Is this us?" "Yes!" Miguel had nodded enthusiastically, his dark curls bouncing. "And that's our house. The one you said we'll have someday." The promise she'd made him—a real home, just the two of them, far away from Xavier's watchful eyes—felt both like a lifeline and a cruel fantasy. Every Saturday, these precious hours with her son were all that kept her going, all that made the rest of her captivit

    One Year Later "The shipment arrives tomorrow," Selena announced, closing her laptop. The leadership meeting had gone smoothly - far smoother than when she'd first joined. Victor nodded from the head of the table. "Any concerns?" "None. Our new route is secure." Selena's efficiency had transformed their operation. Profits were up forty percent, and losses were down to almost nothing. After the meeting, they walked together through the warehouse. Workers nodded respectfully - not just to Victor now, but to Selena too. "Remember when half of them wanted you gone?" Victor asked quietly. Selena smiled. "Now they know better." It wasn't just their operation that had grown. Their reputation had spread. Three smaller cartels had sought protection under their banner. Two rivals had proposed alliances. That night at dinner, Jordan reported that the Fuentes cartel - once their biggest competition - wanted to meet. "They're scared," Jordan said with a grin. "Their boss actually said he'd

    Maria caught the bouquet with a look of pure horror on her face. Jordan howled with laughter from where he stood with the other men. "It's a sign, baby!" he called out, his voice carrying across the garden. "The universe is saying we're next!" Maria's cheeks flamed red. "Shut your mouth, Jordan!" Later, as the dancing continued, Jordan cornered Maria by the champagne fountain. His tie was loose, and his grin was wide. "So I've been thinking," he started. Maria groaned. "That's never good." "We could do Vegas. Quick and dirty." He waggled his eyebrows. "I want our first time to be epic." "Jordan!" Maria hissed, checking if anyone heard. "No? Okay, how about underwater? I know a guy with a submarine." Maria stared at him. "Are you drunk?" "On love, baby." Jordan laughed, then dodged the punch she threw at his arm. "Okay, okay. How about a ceremony on motorcycles? We say our vows while doing wheelies." "I will stab you," Maria said sweetly. "In your sleep." Jordan leaned close

    The garden sparkled under the afternoon sun. White roses and black lilies lined the aisle - a perfect blend of light and darkness, just like their love story.Victor stood at the altar, his heart beating faster than it had during any gunfight despite it being his second wedding. Jordan stood beside him as best man, fidgeting with his tie and muttering curses under his breath."Stop moving," Victor hissed. "You're making me nervous."Jordan smirked. "You? Nervous? The great Victor Reis?""Shut up."The music changed, and Miguel appeared at the end of the aisle. His little face serious with responsibility as he carried the rings on a black velvet pillow. The guests smiled as he walked carefully, concentrating on not dropping his precious cargo.Then everyone stood. And Victor forgot how to breathe.Selena appeared in a black dress that hugged her curves before flowing out like smoke around her feet. Not white - never white. White was for innocence they'd lost long ago. Black was honest.

    The warehouse was cold and dimly lit. Victor stood at the head of the long table, Selena at his side. Around them sat the twelve lieutenants who controlled different aspects of the business, even when Xavier took over.All men. All watching Selena with expressions ranging from curiosity to open hostility."Gentlemen," Victor said, his voice carrying in the cavernous space. "I've called you here to introduce the newest member of our leadership." He placed his hand on the small of Selena's back. "My fiancée, Selena Vasquez."Murmurs rippled around the table. One man—Ramirez, one of the older lieutenants—scoffed audibly."With all due respect, boss," Ramirez said, his tone suggesting no respect at all, "what does she know about our business?"Victor's expression hardened, but before he could speak, Selena stepped forward."I was Xavier's prisoner for five years," she said calmly. "I know every connection he had. Every supplier. Every corrupt official on his payroll." Her eyes locked with

    Miguel's eyes were wide as dinner plates when Victor told him the news."Mom's staying? Forever?" The boy could barely stay in his chair, bouncing with excitement.Victor's heart felt too big for his chest. "If that's okay with you.""Yes! Yes! Yes!" Miguel punched the air with each word, then froze suddenly. "Does this mean you and Mom are getting married?""It does." Victor ruffled his son's hair. "How do you feel about that?"Instead of answering, Miguel bolted from the room, returning moments later with a crumpled piece of paper. He smoothed it out carefully before handing it to Victor.It was a drawing, clearly made weeks ago. Three stick figures stood hand in hand in front of a house: a tall one labeled "Dad," a smaller one labeled "Me," and a medium one labeled "Mom.""I drew this before," Miguel said softly. "When I wished really hard."Victor swallowed the lump in his throat. "Looks like your wish came true, kiddo."That evening, they had dinner together—their first real fami

    Three days after the bus station, Victor drove Selena up the winding road to the cliffs. Neither spoke much during the drive. The radio played softly between them, filling the silence with old songs they both remembered.Selena stared out the window, watching the city fall away beneath them. "I remember this road," she said quietly.Victor's hands tightened on the steering wheel. "I hoped you would."The overlook hadn't changed. The same weathered wooden bench still faced the ocean. The same wind still carried the scent of salt water. It was here, ten years ago, where they'd first admitted they loved each other.Victor parked the car and came around to open her door. The gesture felt both familiar and strange—a habit from their past life together.They walked to the bench, keeping a careful distance between them. The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink."Miguel asked about you this morning," Victor said, breaking the silence. "Wanted to know if you liked the

    Without thinking, he slammed his fist against the side of the bus, the sound echoing through the station."Selena Vasquez!" he shouted. "I know you can hear me!"Heads turned. People stared. Security guards started moving his way.Victor didn't care. "Five years, Selena! Five years I've been an idiot! Don't make me waste another day!"He saw her freeze halfway down the aisle of the bus."Sir," a security guard approached him, hand on his radio. "I'm going to need you to calm down."Victor ignored him, eyes locked on Selena through the window. "I know everything now! I know what you did for Miguel! What you did for me!"You spared me the pain of losing a son, even though it was at the expense of my life.Selena turned slowly, her face visible through the window. Their eyes met."I read the letters!" Victor continued, his voice cracking. "Every single one! I know you never stopped loving me, even after everything you did."More security guards were approaching. Passengers had stopped to

    Victor hadn't slept in two days. Dark circles rimmed his eyes as he paced the floor of his command center."Tell me again," he demanded, voice rough from too much coffee and not enough rest.Gerald pointed to the map spread across the table. Red pins marked locations across the city."She's been moving carefully. One motel to the next." Gerald tapped the pins in sequence. "Never stays more than one night. Pays cash. Uses different names."Victor leaned closer, studying the pattern. "She's zigzagging.""Smart move," Gerald admitted. "Makes her harder to track.""But there's a pattern." Victor traced the route with his finger. "She's working her way toward the coast. Small steps, but always moving in the same general direction."Maria, who had been quiet until now, stepped forward. "She's planning to leave the country."Victor's jaw tightened. "She thinks she needs to run that far?""Not just that," Gerald said softly. "Think about it. Xavier had connections everywhere. She knows some o

    Victor barely slept that night. By morning, his mind was made up. He would find Selena and bring her home, whatever it took."Gerald," Victor called, stepping into his office where his right-hand man was already working. "I need everything we have on Xavier and Selena. Every file, every report."Gerald raised an eyebrow but didn't question him. "Give me an hour."True to his word, Gerald returned with several boxes of files. "This is everything, boss."Victor dove into the papers like a man possessed. Hours passed as he pieced together the fragments of Selena's life with Xavier. What he found made him sick to his stomach.Medical records. So many medical records."Three broken ribs... facial contusions... fractured wrist," Victor read aloud, his voice growing hoarser with each injury. These weren't from one incident but spread across years. Each time with the same excuse—"Fell down stairs" or "Kitchen accident."And the dates. Victor noticed a pattern. The worst injuries came shortly
