RICARDO

I closed my eyes.

And I let go.

The power surged through me like a tidal wave tearing loose from its dam.

Time didn’t slow… it shattered.

The roar of the train twisted into a long, low groan. The rattling of metal softened into a ghostly echo. Rafael’s laughter… frozen mid-cackle. The wind stopped. The dust in the air stood still, caught mid-flight like shattered stars.

I opened my eyes again.

Everything was silent. Motionless. The world had folded in on itself, trapped in a single moment that only I could move through.

And God, it hurt.

My head throbbed like it was splitting apart. Blood trickled from my nose. My knees buckled, but I forced myself to keep going.

One step.

Then another.

I crossed the track slowly, carefully avoiding the pressure wires as I passed through.

I didn’t look at Rafael… not yet. He was frozen in time, smirk plastered on his face, arms spread like he was still delivering his final monologue.

I knelt by Ryan.

His eyes were wide, motionless, but his ski

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception    Together Forever

    RYANONE WEEK LATERThe stench hit first, then the smell of rotting flesh and disinfectant.I instinctively raised the collar of my shirt over my nose, but it didn’t help. Nothing could mask the decay.Ricardo stood beside me, his face pale but composed, one hand resting on the wall for balance. I told him he shouldn’t have come, not yet, but he insisted. Said he needed to see.So here we were. Staring down at the man who once made our lives hell.Rafael.If you could even call him that anymore.He looked like a shadow of what he once was. Bones jutting out beneath thin, papery skin. His face was gaunt, his cheeks sunken in. There were wounds on his arms, some stitched, some festering. Tubes ran in and out of his body, the machines beside him working overtime just to keep him breathing.He looked… dead. But he wasn’t. Not yet.“They’ve been passing fluids through him every day,” I muttered, unable to look away. “It’s the only reason he’s still alive. He hasn’t had solid food in days.

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception     I wasn’t letting go

    RYAN“What…?” I whispered, stumbling back a step. “Oh God. Oh God.”I pressed my hand to my chest, like it could steady the riot inside. My heart was pounding, thundering so hard it felt like it was trying to escape.That wasn’t Ricardo.The body in the drawer… whoever it was, wasn't my Ricardo.He wasn’t dead.My knees almost buckled again.I staggered to the counter, bracing myself against it.The morgue attendant blinked at me, awkward now. “Sir? You okay?”Before I could speak, the door opened and a doctor in navy scrubs walked in, holding a clipboard.“What’s going on here?” he asked, eyes flicking from me to the drawer to the attendant.“I… I came to see Ricardo,” I choked out. “Ricardo Dantes. They said he died. But that’s not him. That’s not the man I came here for.”The doctor narrowed his eyes slightly, then stepped closer. “You were here yesterday, right?”I nodded quickly. “Yes. Yes, I was here to see Ricardo. But when I came back today… his room was empty. And they told m

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception    Tears

    RYANI watched him twitch in the chair.Still breathing.Good.This wasn’t supposed to be quick.Death was too kind for someone like Rafael. I wanted him to feel it. To live every second of it before the end came. He didn’t deserve a bullet. He didn’t deserve sleep. He deserved this… fire in his veins, bones cracking from strain, and the sound of my voice dancing in his ears like a lullaby to hell.But not yet.Not the end.That wasn’t mine to give.That would be Ricardo’s gift.The last torture. The final act. The moment Rafael would look into the eyes of the man he destroyed and realize he hadn’t even begun to pay for it yet.I wanted Ricardo to see him… raw, broken, stripped down to his last layer of pride. I wanted him to press the final switch. To look Rafael in the eye and return the favor.So, for now… I’d pause the performance.“Be right back,” I whispered near Rafael’s bloodied ear. “Don’t die on me yet.”He groaned faintly in reflex, and I gave him a pat on the cheek, then s

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception    Let’s get to the chorus

    RAFAELI was pissed.Not scared, not confused.Just… pissed.I remembered the car slowing. Voices. Officers.A checkpoint.My heart had damn near leapt out of my chest when I heard them ask Ryan to open the trunk. For a moment… a sweet, breathless moment, I thought I was finally going to be saved.Freedom.That word danced in my head like a miracle.They were going to find me. Pull me out. Get me away from this psycho.But then…Nothing.No hands unzipping the sack.No flashlight blinding my eyes.No voice shouting, “We got a live one!”Just silence.And now I was here. Still here.With him.My mouth was dry, my limbs weak, and my body still recovering from the venom that had nearly stopped my heart.I didn’t know what he was going to do to me next. Didn’t know what twisted plan he had buried in that calm face and steady voice.But whatever it was...I was ready.Because I’d already been through hell.What more could he possibly do?He’d already broken my body. Already sliced me open

    RYANI smiled as I slid back into the driver’s seat.The door shut with a satisfying thud, and I turned the key, the engine rumbling back to life beneath my feet.With one flick of my fingers, the music resumed, the lyrics pouring from the speaker.I cranked up the volume.Started singing along.Off-key. Loud and alive.“I hope you’re happy now,” I crooned over the lyrics, one hand on the wheel, the other drumming against the dash. “That I’m drowning you in everything you gave.”I couldn’t stop smiling.Fulfillment buzzed through my veins like static. That man in the trunk? That whimpering pile of ego and rot?He used to make people like me tremble.Now he was trembling. Because of me.He broke me.So this… this ride, this pain, that beautiful viper bite still simmering in his bloodstream… was justice. It was art.And I was the damn artist.I laughed under my breath, eyes flicking to the rearview mirror. “You’re not even ready for what’s coming next, Rafael.”Then…Up ahead I saw red

  • Stripper by Night, Doctor by Deception    Can’t let her kill you

    RAFAELI was shaking.Profusely.Not from the cold… no, not from that.It was fear. Raw, primal fear that dug its claws into my spine and refused to let go.I never thought Ryan could be like this.Not him.Not the Ryan who used to flinch at the sight of blood… who once looked at me with something close to admiration.But this? This was a different man.I still didn’t understand how things had turned so quickly.How he’d survived. How Ricardo had found him… how they turned the tables.I remembered bits and pieces… flashes, maybe. The sound of my men screaming, something sharp sliding into my skin.Then nothing.It was like my memory had been shredded and thrown into the wind.Was I dreaming?Or had I gone mad?I was in a bag. Trapped. My body was burning, sore in ways I couldn’t describe. The venom from the first dose still made my limbs feel like molten iron, and my brain like mush.And then…I felt it. Something cold. Something alive.Slithering.A slow, coiling movement across my l
