Hugo: I am the undisputed king of the underworld. I rule the country and being the only manufacturer of quality weapons, I own every life. As the head, I get to choose first and then I can choose to throw the remains for everyone to have a bite. There is no one who can leave my claws, I can have whoever I want, be it a boy or a girl. No strings attached. My heart is woven in black. No time and space for any colors in my life. I can’t tolerate deceit and breaking trusts. Loyalty means everything to me. To me dishonesty is equivalent to death, that’s why I never trust anyone. I am happy being the emotionless person in this world until she came into my life as a payment and I was supposed to kill her after using her, only if I knew…. Caterina: I was living my life in a romantic fantasy. I had dream of a prince coming and taking me away to a far land. There came someone to take me away. But he wasn’t a prince. He was a ruthless king of underworld. I had heard about him in hushed whispers but I had never thought of meeting him face to face. I was nothing to him, nothing worthy. And I had accepted my fate but he took away from me the only thing I had vowed to keep for the one I would love. I hate him and he gets off my anger and hurt. He likes to flaunt himself with a new girl everyday and every night. It should not make me feel anything but hatred towards him. And I want to run away from this dark world. And I did succeed but at what cost….. .

Hugo picked up his phone without slowing down his thrusts and almost growled in the phone.
“It should be important Luca.” He gritted his teeth to hear Luca chuckling on the other end.
“Wait, did I disturb you?” Luca could never leave a chance to get on his nerves.
“The fuck Luca.” Hugo wrapped the hair of the girl currently being pounded into and screaming like a bitch in heat, though he hated her over dramatic porno moans, but he had not laid in three days, so yes.
“Okay, I just had to say that the debt had been collected from the people in the list from the central region. Now tell me when do wwe need to score the southern areas? Also, the shipment for the Bratva is loaded and sent. Their Pakhan had personally collected that.
The payment is received in the account, now… Hugo, fuck sake, shut her up.” This time Hugo laughed at his friend who must be gritting his teeth in annoyance. To be honest, even his ears were starting to bleed.
He picked up her discared piece of cloth and stuffed into her mouth before flipping her on her four and rammed inside her once again. He was just this close and he didn’t care if she had cum or not. And that happened exactly.
“Now tell me, I am done.” He managed to zip up his pants as he was fully dressed and tossed a few bills at the bed before leaving the room.
His guards followed him closely as they exit the hallway and entered the VIP.
Luca saw him and hung up the phone before motioning the waitress to bring in the drink for Hugo.
“Tell me now.” He gulped the scotch and turned towards Luca who tskd but told the details again.
Hugo listened to him attentively, but Luca knew his mind would be weaving plans and schemes.
“We own the three fourth of Southern estates right? Its time to visit our old friend.” Hugo cut off whatever Luca was saying and a snister smile appeared on his lips. Luca could hear his gears working.
“When?”Luca picked up his own drink matching the menancing look of his boss.
“Tomorrow works best.” Hugo stood up, straightening his jacket and tied up his hair into a bun. His inked black knuckles were imprinted with the number of people he murdered since he was 16. 16 years of being the head of the Mafia and no one could ever beat him, not if they wanted to live anyway.
“Do you think he would have arranged for the payment?” Luca fell into steps with him as they both exited the club and Hugo moved toward his G Wagon. Luca took the keys from him and opened the door to the driving seat while Hugo sinked in the passenger seat. His skin was overheated with all the exertion and warm in the club and the AC felt cool.
Luca waved his fingers in the air, signalling his guards to take positions and took off. The drive to the aparment complex was half an hour and it was mostly filled with silence. And Luca knew Hugo would only talk once he was fresh and after having dinner. They were together for as long as Luca could remember and he knew Hugo like the back of his palm.
It was almost after an hour that they both settled in Hugo’s office. It was the work time now and Luca knew now Hugo was in his factor.
“I know he ha dnot arranged the payment as of yet because honestly we never bothered him much, but its enough now. People are taking my silence as my weakness and I have to remind them I am the boss and they cannot run away from me.” Hugo spoke in his signature cold tone. Luca hummed in agree. In their line of work, their was no place of emotions and weaknesses. They had to keep a check on everyone in their territory and so far not even a leaf was displaced.
Everyone knew their life was hanging by threads in Hugo’s hands and no one was spared. Not even a new born child was free of the debt and his life was already signed up for the Italian Mafia and sooner or later the payment would be collected.
They finished their work until midnight and only then Hugo signalled Luca to the go to his panthouse a floor under his own. He walked to the floor to roof windows and looked at his city sleeping. There were some who were still on the roads but the power of owning everyone was making Hugo sigh in relief. No one could take what he had.

Caterina pulled out the trays of freshly baked cupcakes and cookies and put them on the cooling racks and placed the new trays in the oven. She pulled off the gloves and wiped her forehead off any invisible sweat.
She had just tried her new recipe and she was loving every bit of the colorful cupcakes spread in front of her. She knew she had to put them in the freezer for a bit before icing them. It took her another fifteen minutes and everything was settled as she wanted. And now she knew she only had 20 minutes of rest, not that she wanted, but she knew once the café opens, she wont be able to sit for a while.
She was handling the kitchen for last three years with her father, once she completed her high school. She wanted to join a proper culinary institute where she could hone her skills. She had got all her bkaing skills from her mother’s family. Her grandmother and aunts had a fine hand in baking all kind of sweets and now she had taken over it.
She only had her father since her mother passed away five years ago. She was happy with the life she was living, but yes she would miss her often.
“Papa, I have placed the new batch in the oven and I am free for fifteen minutes. Do you want me to do anything?” She went to her father behind the register who smiled and shook his head.
“No child, take rest for a while. The café will be opening in half an hour and you wont be able to sit then. Go check the sitting area and see if we need anything?” Her papa looked at her, smiling affectionately at her.
“I have already checked it Papa. Everything is settled.” She took a seat with her father, discussing the new receipe she had tried when the doors to the café opened and slammed shut.
They both frowned to see who the intruder was since they had not opened the doors yet. She saw 4 armed men came inside their café and before she could say anything, her body stiffen beside her father.
“Mr. Martino.” She whispered and it was perfectly heard by the said man who raised his eyebrow in confirmation.
“Child, go inside.” Her father tried to push her away but it was already late. She had caught the eyes of the man her father wanted to save her from.
“Whats the hurry?” Hugo pulled the chair and seated as comfortably as he owned it, well he did, didn’t he. Luca kept standing behind his chair His stance casual but Caterina knew well. She had heard rumors about Luca wearing six different knives on his body that no one could ever trace. Not alive at least.
“Come have a seat.” Hugo pulled out another seat for Vittori but he kept standing in front of him. He knew his place. Hugo tskd, looking at Luca who understood. He simply put his hands on his shoulder and forced him to take a seat.
Caterina was about to turn and go to hide but a wave of finger was enough to keep her rooted on her place.
“So Vittori, I heard your business is growing fast. I heard you want to expand the café?” Hugo leaned in his chair, putting one foot on his other knee. All dominant. Caterina looked at her father gulped subtly. Obviously nothing can be hidden from Hugo, the king.
“Ah yes, yes sir.” Vittori replied in a careful tone.
“Then you must…. Whats this smell?” Suddenly Hugo stoped to sniff the waft coming from the kitchen.
“Oh.” Caterina ran towards the kitchen followed by one of Hugo’s men, right as the oven tinged. Without noticing the mountain of a man following her, she quickly pulled the trays and set them on the cooling rack. She pulled out the chilled cupcakes from the freezer and thanked the gods above that she managed to save them from freezing completely.
She took out the icing and began decorating them in colorful treats. She finished the icing but before she could store them, the tray was gone.
“Hey, that’s my cupcakes.” She huffed in annoyance following the guard, who brought the tray to the table where Hugo was sitting.
“Now that’s what we call deal breaker, yeah?” Hugo smiled and picked up one cupcake. He sniffed it and took a cautious bite. “Who made them?” He asked Caterina who only narrowed her eyes at him.
The audacity of this man. First he barged in her café and now stole her cupcakes.
“Well Vittori, I believe you will think about the offer and I shall wait for a positive response. Because you know, one way or another, I get what I want.” He stood up gesturing his guards but not before picking up another cupcake followed by his men.
“I… yes sir.” Caterina looked at her father and then at Hugo and the way his lips stretched into a sinful smile, she knew something big was at stake, but what coul it be.

Chapter 43 stm“Where are we going?” Caterina asked Hugo as he bypassed the road to their penthouse. “Would you like to go to a long drive with me?” Hugo asked her in a hesitant tone. “Don't you think it's too late to ask? I mean it's clear that you have already decided”. Caterina said, leaning in her seat. “No, I can turn around if this is what you want?” Hugo slowed down his car, looking at her. “No. I am okay going on a long drive with you”. She said simply, turning to see the night running through the window of the car. “Is it easy to go along Luca than me?” She was actually confused at this question from him. He wasn't looking at her but the grip of his hands on the steering wheel was saying otherwise. “Sir Luca is like a friend to me. Nothing else”. “And me?” He couldn't help but ask. He didn't know why he wanted a confirmation or assurance. “What about you? You are in no comparison with sir Luca. You are the man who, I don't know, kidnapped me or rescued me. You gave m
Chapter 42 stm.Hugo woke up late in the morning. He instantly regretted as he sat up quickly in the bed and held his head with both hands. He had a high tolerance level for alcohol but last night he underestimated the vodka he consumed with Luca and even after he left. He wanted to persue Caterina again but how? He knew he had spread so much lie around himself that it would be hard for her to believe him. But it was worth a try right? He took a shower to get fresh and after ages, he wore her favorite black pants and caramel colored shirt. He rolled up the sleeves to his elbow and smiled inwardly, remembering how she would gaze at his arms whenever he would roll up his shirt sleeves. He brushed his hair back into a messy bun just like she liked and once he was satisfied with his looks, he confidently stride outside to greet her, or in other words, trying to woo her. “Whoa… someone looking hot eh”. He smirked looking at Anita who was having a toast, sitting on the kitchen stool.
Chapter 41 stmHugo was dumbfounded for a moment, holding an unconsious Caterina in his arms. He didn't know what to do. He was looking at her pale face and those eyebags that just got visivlble under her beautiful eyes. “Caterina… hey… open your eyes please”. He patted her cheeks gently but to no use. He picked her up and took her to his bedroom that was cold without her. He filled a glass of water and sprinkled some water on her face. She stirred a bit, letting out a little sound. “Hey Rina. Come back to me … open your eyes”. Hugo was begging at this moment. He sighed in relief to see her eyes fluttering for a moment and then she saw him hovering over her. “Thank God. What happened to you? You are overtiring yourself and not eating properly. Right? I knew it. You forget everything when you have to wo….”. He was cut short when she placed her hand on his lips. Without saying a word she sat up with the bedhead and just then she realized she was in his bedroom. “What are you doing
Chapter 40 stm “It's really late. You should go to home now. I think we have lots of time until tomorrow evening”. Luca stood up from the stool he had occupied for the last hour. “No I think it's all done. I would just need to refresh once before serving and it's good to go”. Caterina wiped her hands on her apron, looking at everything with a satisfactory smile. “Great. We should leave then”. Luca helped Caterina lock the cafe and she walked with him to the parking lot and startled to see Hugo leaning with his car. Her brows furrowed in confusion because Hugo was not coming to her cafe to pick and drop her anymore. “Seems like you two having a good time that explains why you didn't bother to text me about you being late”. Hugo said in a low voice, making her shiver. “I.. uh …. I didn't ask sir Luca to stay with him. He insisted …..”. “He insisted and you let him. Wow. Nice huh. I didn't know my second in command could be so helpful. Did you help her tasting every flavor of food
Chapter 39 stm Caterina had just finished making breakfast when she saw Hugo emerging from his bedroom. Her face lit up for a while but it faded as soon as she saw Anita following behind. She was wearing a camisole and shorts that leave nothing to her imagination. She felt a pang of jealousy in her heart. Anita was indeed a gorgeous girl. She pasted the most fake smile on her face as she dished out the breakfast on the table. “Morning Master, Ma’am. The breakfast is ready. I have made breakfast as you asked for. Please have a seat and excuse me, I will be in the kitchen f you need me.” She didn't stop and turned to go to the kitchen as quickly as possible. Hugo wanted to stop hr and ask her to join him on the table as per their routine but she didn't wait.He rubbed his chest slightly to difuse the congestion and his gesture didn't go unnotice by Luca who just entered the living room. “Ohh, you have started breakfast without me and no one even invited me. Caterinaaaaa.” He shout
Chapter 38 stmHugo was lying in his bed, reading a book when he heard a knock at his door and the door opened to Caterina standing, nervous and confused.“You called for me, Master.” She camed inside his bedroom once he nodded his head.“Yes I called for you. I need you to massage my lower back and legs.” Hugo ordered her and laid down on his stomach, revealing muscles to her.The back she had touched and licked so many times, and not to mention her nail scratches that she had put in the moments of ecstasy. She blushed at the thought and memories. “What? You don't want to do?” He asked lifting up his head a bit.“Nno… no. Let me grab the oils.” She stuttered a bit before goign to the bathroom to grab the essential oils Hugo had placed.She took a deep breath of his soap and shampoo still lingering in the damp air. His towel was placed on the floor that she could not help but pick up and take a long sniff to inhale the smell in her system.Her eyes flooded to think about the moments
