Sebastian stood on the balcony of his bedroom. Cigarette was in between his fingers while his eyes were darker than the night.
Ricci came to him and stood behind, ''Boss, I can't find her.'' He said with disappointment.
Sebastian turned to face his right-hand man. The only one whom he trusts, ''Have I ever taken no for an answer, Ricci?''
Ricci appeared to be vexed at what he had just heard. ''I am trying-''
''I need her. You just have a night. She should be the first thing I see in the morning.'' His voice is dominating and intimidating.
Ricci, who came inside with a whole speech prepared in his head, could not utter a word anymore. He nodded while Sebastian waited for him to leave.
He went to his bed and poured himself a drink that was placed on the side table. The burning taste of the whisky calmed his senses to some extent, but he wasn't able to put her away from his head.
Ever since he saw her on that stormy night.... All he could think about was those eyes that were filled with worry for him. She is a good and kind-hearted girl, he knows that.... but he does not know what their encounter has brought to her.
What would Elysia have done if she knew that saving his life would cost her such a heavy price? Would she have left him on the streets to die? Or would she have saved him yet again?
*****
Ricci searched for that girl the whole night. From the animal clinic he got to know about her address but that place was empty. After inquiring from the people, he got to know that she wasn't living there for a week.
''Where is she?'' He murmured to himself and he needed that girl now.
''Do you know where she can be?'' He asked an old lady who lived right below her apartment.
''I guess she might be at Lauren's place. They are friends for a long time and mostly they do a sleepover.'' The lady knew Elysia better than anyone. She also makes food and gives it to her as she feels bad for her.
With the help of that woman, Ricci was finally able to get the address of Lauren's place.
He knocked on the door and waited until a young looking girl opened it for him. She squinted her eyes and glanced at him from head to toe. Man suited in a black suit, tall with a perfect mass of muscles, a tattoo peeking out of his shirt's collar and face deprived of any emotions.... At that moment, he looked like an angel of death to Lauren.
She trembled internally as she thought about Elysia. 'What if he is the man who raped her?' She was terrified.
''Am I talking to Miss. Elysia?'' He sternly asked and now Lauren was really scared.
''No. There is no Elysia here.'' She avoided looking into his eyes as they were piercing through her and she was afraid that her lie might be revealed.
''Then, you must be Miss. Lauren.'' He concluded.
Lauren's eyes snapped back at him. ''Who- who are you?'' She stuttered.
''I know, Miss. Elysia is here. I need to talk to her.'' Ricci was losing his patience. The girl looked terrified, that's why he did not force his way inside. He is not used to using his words.
''Look, Mr. Whatever you are. I told you there is no Elysia here. You must have the wrong person.'' She tried to act calm.
Ricci smirked. ''Stop lying to me. I know I am in the right place. Let me inside, otherwise I will brag inside myself.''
Lauren ran her tongue over the bottom lip. Her lips were turning dry. ''Please leave or I will call the police. You can't just brag in here.'' She glared.
Ricci leaned in closer to her and whispered, ''I can and I will. Let me see her and I will leave quietly without making a scene.''
Now Lauren was sure that this was the man who had ruined Elysia's innocence. While Elysia is scared of every man. She could not imagine her reaction upon seeing him.
Before Lauren could react, she heard a familiar voice. ''What are you doing at the door, Lauren?'' It was Elysia.
The man was leaning and his tall figure was kind of hidden behind Lauren, so she could not see him. However, when he stood straight and his eyes met with Elysia, fear instantly took over her face.
''Miss. Elysia, I need you to come with me.'' He casually said like they have been friends for a decade.
While Elysia trembled at the place. Her hands clenched fists so hard that her nails were digging into the palms. She went pale.
''Let go of me.'' She whispered.
Lauren instantly tried to close the door on the intruder but he was quick in his reflexes and he placed his feet to stop her.
''AHHHHH....!!!'' Elysia suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs and plopped on the floor. She placed her hands on her ear and continued to shout.
Ricci was also taken aback by the reaction he got from her.
''GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.'' Lauren roared at the man and she did not care about his foot in between the door before slamming it shut.
Ricci, a man of strong senses, was shaken by Elysia.
Lauren ran towards her and took her in her embrace, ''Shhh... everything is fine. See, there is no one here.''
Elysia finally stopped screaming and looked around. When she saw that the door was closed and there was no one there, she finally calmed down. Her throat was hurting badly from screaming, but she did not care.
Ricci knew that something was wrong with the girl and, before reporting the situation to Sebastian, he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly. Most importantly, her unattended wound on the cheek and neck grabbed his attention.
It took him less than an hour to get to the hospital where she was taken a week ago.
Scaring people and making them spill the truth, is what they are perfect at.
''She is a drug addict and that was the reason for which she was brought here. Her friend told me that she burnt herself when she wasn't in her senses.'' The doctor reported him with fear.
Ricci nodded. Although he wasn't satisfied with the answers, the medical records were saying the same thing. But the fear he saw in her eyes...
He could not comprehend the meaning behind them.
After coming to Sebastian's penthouse, he told him each and everything.
Sebastian frowned. When he met her a month ago, there was no wound on her face and she looked normal. He could tell that she had never even seen drugs with her eyes in her life.
This matter wasn't as simple as it seems.
''You can leave. I will handle it on my own.''
Ricci nodded and when he turned to leave he heard Sebastian, ''Send Katherine. I need her for tonight.''
''Okay, boss.''
While Sebastian thought about what Ricci told him about Elysia. ''What's going on with her?'' He whispered to himself.
Soon, there was a knock on his door and he knew who was there. ''Come in.'' His deep and dominating voice resonated in the air.
A woman in just her black thongs and bra entered. She smirked upon seeing him naked, just a towel wrapped around his waist.
''Do you want me to please you?" She asked with a slaty voice.
''That's what you are here for, whore.'' He degraded her, knowing that she enjoys that.
Her smirk turned deeper, ''On your knees.'' He ordered and took off the towel.
His 9 inches of meat made his mouth water. She went perfectly on her knees to take him in her mouth. Sebastian looked at her and, without a warning, he held her ponytail and slammed himself in her mouth. It made her gag and caused her eyes to turn watery, but he knew that the bit*h could take him, no matter how rough he is with her.
She is one of the few girls who can tolerate his manhandling and they are capable of pleasing him in a way he wants.
Sebastian fucked her mouth hard and fast. Katherine placed her hands on his thighs to keep her balance. The drool was dripping down from her mouth.
''Suck that, slut." He said with his gritted teeth as he ravaged her mouth.
His grip on her ponytail got tight. She could feel him swelling in her mouth. He was close. So, Katherine gave him a hard suck which made Sebastian lose his mind.
He threw his head back and groaned, ''Just like that, Elysia. I am cumming.'' He moaned her name as he imagined her lips wrapped around his d**k.
Katherine was taken aback. She had never heard him moaning her name and now he was taking some other bit*h name. She pumped his length which she couldn't take in her mouth with her hands and caused him to spill his seeds in her mouth.
Like a perfect slut, she swallowed it.
''Who is Elysia?'' Katherine asked as she wiped the corner of her mouth.
Sebastian's dark eyes turned darker as he tried to get his erratic breathing back to normal.
''Get out.'' He coldly ordered.
Katherine sighed. Although she wanted to feel him in her c**t but tonight wasn't for her pleasure and she knew that she cannot ask this man questions.
Even though she was burning with a rage, she left as per his orders.
Sebastian laid on his bed as he remembered the night a month ago.Month ago: The sky was dark beyond the point of darkness. The moon and no stars were shining as the clouds had taken over them. Suddenly, it started thundering. Elysia was frightened by the sound of it. She closed the door of the veterinary clinic where she works and started to walk fast towards her home before the sky would start to pour out. However, unfortunately, she had just reached the alley where it started to rain. ''Oh gosh, not now.'' Elysia groaned as she didn't have an umbrella and rushed. The coldness of the night was making her shiver. She ran down the streets. Her apartment wasn't far from the vet clinic. So, she usually goes there by foot. In the middle of the thunder, a voice caused her feet to stop. ''Is anyone there?'' She asked nervously. A whimper could be heard. ''Excuse me?'' She asked again and entered the street. A little streetlight was lighting the alley but it wasn't bright enough. Elysi
''Boss, the Russians are trying to invade our territory again. They are making deals with Inland Taipan.'' Ricci reported to him the latest news.''These Russians are getting into my head. They attacked me last time and I went easy on them. But now they are calling for death. Get information about their deal. I will see how they will get it done.'' Sebastian said wickedly.Sebastian is the 3rd generation Mafia. His grandfather and father were not as strong as him. That's why his father became a victim of another group.At the age of 15, Sebastian took hold of his family's business. From the smuggling of weapons, to drugs, the selling of girls to organ trafficking, he did everything and, within 3 years, he became the strongest Mafia in Italy.He is known as the 'Black King', because of his status in the dark world.Furthermore, no one has ever seen the true face of the Black King, except the few important men of his gang. All the deals he makes are made through his men. That's why his
Just like Sebastian planned and ordered, Ricci sent the details of the deal to the police. On the following night, the news that police had got millions worth of drugs in their custody became the headlines.He gave a blow to both, to the Russians and to the Inland Taipans also. They were trying to invade his territory. There was no way he was going to let them off the hook so easily.Furthermore, he decided to pay a visit to the leader of Inland Taipan himself.Robert was pacing around the room. He had paid the advance money to the Russians and now he suffered a great loss.''You must be feeling great, Robert.'' Sebastian walked inside his mansion, all majestic and ran his long and thick fingers on the metallic antique decorative piece.''You have done that, right? It was you behind all of it.'' Robert's jaws ticked as he paced closer to him.Sebastian raised an eyebrow and fidgeted with innocence as he lifted his hand in the air and surrendered, ''Oh no, what to do? I was trying to g
It was Monday and just like she promised the owner of the animal clinic, she decided to go there. She was in jeans and a black-neck sweater over it. It hid the scar on her neck while she let her hair loose, which helped her in hiding the wound on her face.Her eyes looked so dead and deprived of any emotions. But, Elysia brushed all the negative thoughts away and focused on what she needed to do."Good luck for the day." Lauren brimmed. "Shall I drop you at the clinic?""No, I can just walk there." She knew that she cannot always rely on Lauren. If she wants to get out of this slump, she needs to do it on her own."Okay. Call me if there is anything." She reminded her before grabbing the keys of her car and stepping out of the apartment.The empty place sent shivers down her spine. Elysia grabbed her things with haste and rushed out of them. Lauren has been taking days off for her sake. The sun was finally out after days.The sun's rays were numbing the cold breeze and making it refre
Ever since that day, Lauren could not take the risk of letting Elysia go home alone. Before Elysia's working hours could end, she would go to her clinic and wait until she wrapped up the day and then they would walk home together. "Lauren, something happened at the clinic today.'' Elysia suddenly broke the silence. Lauren's heart thumped badly against her chest. ''What?'' She hid the nervousness as she asked. ''There is a man. I saved his life almost 2 months back.'' She started. Actually, she did not tell her friends about Sebastian before because she did not have the chance. "He came to the clinic today and he asked me out for dinner. He wants to treat me as compensation." This is all she could make out of his offer. ''Really?" Lauren raised an eyebrow. She was sure that Elysia had refused his offer. She is currently going through trauma. She can't even make eye contact with anyone. Let alone going on a date. "What did you tell him?" She exhaled loudly in the air, "I said, yes.
With a nervously beating heart, Elysia started to get dressed up for dinner. She could not name it as a date because he was just returning a favour which she had given him. So, she dropped the idea of wearing a dress and instead settled on slipping inside the formal black pants with a grey button-up shirt and a long checkered matching coat and a scarf around her neck. It covered the wound on her cheek also. A little makeup and that's it. Exactly at 7 pm, a car horn grabbed her attention. She knew she had to see him, however, when the time was there, she started to get sweaty hands and the little droplets of water were also shining on her forehead. Soon, Lauren peeped inside her room, ''Your date is here.'' She wriggled her brow. "He is not a date." Elysia refused and wore a mask of confidence as she walked out of the room. 'Hope this night will go well.' Elysia wished, but she had no idea what her time with him was holding for her. "I am dying to see him." Lauren followed her.
They ate dinner in complete silence. Other than the sound of their cutlery, there was nothing that collided with their sense of hearing. Elysia could not get the fact out of her head that she was being affected by his astonishing presence. But she treated this dinner as a friendly meal. 'You are not allowed to have feelings for anyone.' She scolded herself and did not dare to look at him. In a split second, the huge glass window shattered. Like, it is a wall of sand and it floats away as the wave hits it. "F**k." Sebastian cursed under his breath and he immediately pulled Elysia towards himself. Without wasting a second, he hid her under the table. Elysia does not know what happened or what is happening.... all she knows is.... this doesn't feel real. She doesn't feel like a part of it. It was surreal. When Sebastian pulled a gun and started shooting, Elysia did not have the slightest idea. Her head was spinning, the vision was getting blurry and she swang in his arms and her eyes
In the middle of the night, Elysia felt her skin crawling. Her body was shaking intensely. ''Leave me.'' She murmured. ''Let go of me." Her voice got louder. Sebastian was sleeping on the chair. His eyes snapped open when he heard her wails. He immediately walked to her just to find her looking like a frightened puppy. At that sight, his cold heart started to thaw. ''Elysia." He called her name ever so softly that he could not even recognize his own voice. Elysia started shaking her head from left to right and right to left as she was in a state of denial. ''You are fine.'' He held her hand and at the touch, her eyes opened. In the dim lights, her pupil contracted to find him and when she saw a man sitting beside her... she screamed, "DON'T DO THIS TO ME. I BEG YOU.'' His heart clenched. He imagined that she would have begged that bloody bastard the same way. ''It's me. You are safe.'' His voice was loud. He did that to pull her back to reality. But she wasn't listening to him.
The night air was crisp, carrying a slight chill as Ella walked toward her dorm. The streets were quieter than usual, the faint sound of cars in the distance blending with the occasional rustling of leaves. She wrapped her arms around herself, wishing she had brought a jacket.She had spent the evening at a café, finishing up some final touches on her assignments. Now that midterms were over, she finally had time to breathe. Everything in her life felt… peaceful.Except for one thing.Chole.He had been acting strange lately. Clingy. Restless. Almost desperate. She had noticed the shift in him ever since she started pulling away. What used to be casual—drinks, occasional hookups, meaningless fun—had become something suffocating.She thought he’d take the hint. That he'd move on.But he wasn’t letting go.Ella sighed, shaking off the uneasiness creeping up her spine. He’s just being annoying. Nothing serious.Or so she thought.Just as she reached the street leading to her dorm, she he
Theo had never driven back to the city so fast before.After making sure his father was stable and things with Lusi were finally settled, he wasted no time heading back. He needed to see Ella. He needed to talk to her.The last time he saw her, she had left without saying goodbye. And after what had happened between them—the way they had almost lost themselves in each other before Lusi walked in—things must have been awkward for her. He understood that. But disappearing like that? Avoiding him? That, he couldn’t let slide.He gripped the steering wheel tighter as he made his way through traffic. His mind kept replaying everything over and over. Just what went wrong? It was her who wanted to drive him there.As soon as he reached the university, he parked his car and walked toward the campus. His eyes scanned the area, searching for her. He didn’t even know what he was going to say first. Should he ask why she left? Should he act normal?But then he saw her.And everything inside him f
Morning sunlight filtered through the hospital windows, casting a soft glow across the room. Theo sat in the chair beside his father’s bed, his fingers interlocked, his mind split between two things—things that he needs to discuss with his father and the gnawing worry in his chest about Ella.She had left.Not just left—she had slipped away without saying goodbye.Theo had woken up at dawn after dozing off for a short while, and the first thing he did was check his phone. That was when he saw her message:Ella: Hey, I left early. I had some things to take care of back in the city. Thanks for everything. Hope your dad is okay.That was it. No warmth, no explanation. Just a simple, distant message that left an ache in his chest.His father stirred in his hospital bed, shifting slightly before his eyes fluttered open. Theo put his phone away and leaned forward.“You’re awake,” he said, trying to push aside his thoughts.His father gave him a tired look. “Didn’t sleep much, did you?”Theo
After making sure Ella was okay, Theo took a deep breath and headed upstairs to find Lusi. They needed to clear the matter regarding their father first. The house was quiet, filled with the weight of old wounds and unresolved tensions.He knocked lightly on her door. “Lusi?”There was a pause before her voice came through. “It’s open.”Theo stepped inside. Lusi was sitting on the edge of her bed, flipping through the pages of a book. She didn’t look up.“I didn’t think you’d come,” she said flatly.Theo sighed, closing the door behind him. “I wasn’t sure if you wanted me to.”She finally looked at him, her expression unreadable. “When have you ever cared what I wanted?”Theo winced at her words but didn’t react. Instead, he sat down on the chair near her desk. “Lusi, come on.”She scoffed, shaking her head. “You left. You walked away from all of it. And I get it—you never wanted the business. But I did. And Dad refused to even consider it because I’m not his son.” Her voice wavered wi
The house was quiet, the only sound coming from the faint rustling of trees outside and the distant chirping of birds. The dim lighting in the living room cast a warm glow around them.Theo and Ella sat close, they were speaking softly with each other, unspoken tension building between them.“You were so different as a kid,” Ella murmured, running her fingers lightly over the edge of a book on the coffee table. “Seeing this place… it makes me wonder how you became this Theo.”Theo watched her closely, his expression unreadable. “Maybe I’m still figuring that out myself.”Ella turned to face him, and suddenly, the air shifted. Neither of them spoke, but the silence was thick with something electric.Then, before she could think, before either of them could second-guess, he leaned in. His lips brushed against hers softly at first, testing, waiting. When she didn’t pull away, he deepened the kiss, his hands finding their way to her waist. Ella melted into him, her fingers sliding into hi
It was a weekend and in the morning, Theo invited Ella to his apartment. She had never been there before, and as she stood at his door, she felt her heart pounding nervously in her chest. He greeted her with a soft smile, stepping aside to let her in. She was dressed into a casual t-shirt and a trouser. Still he managed to make her feel all antsy. "Hey, come on in," he said, his voice warm but calm, as always.Ella stepped inside, taking in the space that felt so... Theo. It was neat and organized, but there were little things that surprised her — books stacked in every corner, a record player in the living room, and some art pieces she hadn’t expected to see."Make yourself comfortable," he said, heading to the kitchen. "Want tea or coffee?""Anything's fine," she replied, walking around slowly, her fingers grazing the back of the couch. She tried to appear relaxed, but inside she was jittery. Being in his personal space felt different, more intimate than meeting in class or at a ho
After that dinner, things have been moving quite smoothly between Theo and Ella. Although they have been trying their best to not get physical, it was extremely difficult for them to refrain. Ella barely managed to stop herself from gawking at his handsome face during class, however, that secret gesture did not go unnoticed by him. He subtly pulled out his phone and hurriedly typed on the screen. Theo: Stop fucking me with your eyes.Her phone buzzed and she secretly took it out to read his message. Her heartbeat accelerated after reading those six words. Yes, it was not wrong to say that she was practically stripping him naked with those intense stares of her. Ella: I am not. However, it would hurt her pride to admit that, thus, she lied straight to his face. Theo: Yes, yes, if you would say so. He let her win for now and looked up to meet her eyes. However, he found her biting on her lip. The flushed cheeks, dilated pupil, everything was indicating one thing.. She was horny an
Ella flinched when she saw the man whom she had been trying to avoid with all of her might. He was standing right in front of her, his face carrying only one expression 'WRATH' while his grip on her forearm was so damn tight that she let out a whimper of pain. Well, this is what she thought what happened, however, soon she was proved wrong when she realized that she is one fucking sadistic and it was moan of pleasure instead.Wrath on his face subsided to some extent as his eyes darkened to another degree. His jaws tightened further and his grip on her arm softened for a millisecond but he managed to pull himself together and the demure from earlier returned immediately."Are you fucking playing with me, Ella?" He growled, slowly.Ella looked around to see if someone was out there, looking at them, "I should be the one to ask you that. How can you pull me like this? What if someone saw us?""Now you are scared of others." He scoffed. There was something so chilling about his tone and
Theo was filled with rage when he saw her kissing another man openly. If he did not behave that way at the office and did not say all those words to her, he would have dragged her out of there and made her realize how the real boss is. But he had no control over that except to see her being rebellious. His grip on the glass tightened to the point where it was a mystery why it did not break. "Ella, you are playing with fire." He muttered to himself as he gulped down the entire glass of whiskey in one go. He knew he should stop whatever they have between them and put a pause on all these feelings but despite knowing all that, he is unable to do so. If he had never met her again, it would have been a lot better. Out of sight, out of mind. However, now he has to see her everyday.. it is impossible to push her out of his head. That night, Theo did not go home and drank alcohol like water. In the meantime, the weekend passed quicker than they thought. When both of them got sober, the e
