The air in the abandoned warehouse was suffocating thick with dust, the metallic tang of blood hanging in the corners like a curse. Shadows clawed across the cracked concrete floors, twisting and stretching with the weak, swaying light of a single overhead bulb. Calvin stood in the center, a predator in human form, his black-clad figure sharp and terrifying, eyes glinting with a hunger that made the hair on their necks rise.

    Calvin’s lips curved into a faint, controlled smile. “If I did, would I offer a 60/40 profit split? Look closely… it’s clear who stands to gain most from this deal.”“That’s all the more reason to be suspicious,” Anthony snapped, a flash of irritation crossing his features. “Come on… we’re rivals in more ways than one, and I can’t stand your guts.”Calvin’s expression remained calm, entirely unshaken by the jab. “As much as I can’t stand you, I will not let personal feelings interfere with business or with Cleopatra’s career. My intention is to secure her future. The Verenna Project will advance her career. So… will you accept the offer, or walk away?”Anthony froze, his crossed leg dropping in surprise. “Cleo… she’ll be coming to my company?”“Yes,” Calvin said smoothly, eyes cool, “and not just her, some other top models as well.”Anthony’s gaze sharpened, the tension between them crackling. “Let me see the documents. If it’s solid, I’ll sign.”Calvin laid the contract between them.

    “Why are you always running from doing it with me?” she murmured, her voice low and laced with quiet insistence, her hands steady as they moved slowly over his d*ck, each stroke deliberate, unhurried.“I’m not running,” he replied, though his voice came out rougher than intended.“Then what will you call this?” she pressed, her gaze fixed on him, searching. “You’re hard and you still don’t want to do it.”Her fingers continued their slow, teasing motion, unrelenting, drawing a sharp breath from him.“The first time I kissed you—” Calvin exhaled, a strained sound slipping from him. “Arghh, I hurt you… even if it was just a little.” His eyes darkened, filled with concern, conflicted. “What if I hurt you again… on our first time? And you’re a virgin…” His voice faltered, tension thick in every word.“Then we take it slow,” Cleopatra replied softly, her tone steady, reassuring, closing the distance between them without hesitation.In an instant, his hand shot out, catching hers mid-motion

    Calvin tilted his head, almost curious, as he lowered the knife.The moment the tip kissed John’s skin, the room seemed to hold its breath.Then he dragged it.Not fast, not merciful but slowly and painfully.The blade parted flesh with a sickening ease, a thin line blooming red before spilling open, the sound of a wet, tearing whisper far louder than it should have been.John’s body convulsed, a strangled scream clawing its way out of his throat, raw and broken.Calvin didn’t stop.He watched.Listened.Savoring every second.“Sir… sir… please… mercy…”“Just endure it… or would you rather lie in a grave?”A guttural scream ripped from him.“Arghhh!”Finally, the pain became unbearable and he collapsed, unconscious.Then he turned to Cullen.Slowly.Deliberately.As if savoring the moment before the inevitable.Cullen’s eyes widened, his entire body jerking against the restraints. “N-no… don’t come close…” his voice trembled, thin and fraying at the edges of sanity.Calvin stepped in

    The air in the abandoned warehouse was suffocating thick with dust, the metallic tang of blood hanging in the corners like a curse. Shadows clawed across the cracked concrete floors, twisting and stretching with the weak, swaying light of a single overhead bulb. Calvin stood in the center, a predator in human form, his black-clad figure sharp and terrifying, eyes glinting with a hunger that made the hair on their necks rise.The two lackeys were trapped like rats, heads covered with sackbags, their backs pressed against worn ropes, each tethered hand submerged in a round empty basin. Sweat dripped down their pale skin, glinting under the flickering light. Their breaths were shallow, rapid, a chorus of fear, each exhale betraying their dread.“Do you know why you’re here?” Calvin’s voice was low, deliberate, almost a whisper but it carried the weight of inevitable doom.“No… who… are you? Are you here for revenge?” Their words stumbled out simultaneously, jagged with panic.Calvin circ

    “Why are you standing out here in the cold?”His voice dropped, low and laced with concern as he stepped closer. Without waiting for her reply, he slipped off his coat and draped it gently over her shoulders, his fingers lingering for a moment as if reluctant to let go. His sharp gaze swept the surroundings, searching and calculating for Anthony’s car plate number.“I was waiting for you,” she said, his tone softening. “Katie went to check the office but couldn’t find you.”“Oh… I had a business meeting,” he replied lightly.His thumb began to stroke her shoulder in slow, absent circles, sending a quiet warmth through her despite the cold air. “Let’s go inside.”“You’re spending the night here?” Cleopatra asked, surprise etched across her delicate features.One corner of his lips lifted. “Aren’t we a couple?”“Umm…” She bit her lip, twisting it shyly, her gaze flickering away.A faint chuckle escaped him. “Naughty girl.”She nudged him playfully, her voice soft but sweet. “Let’s go, b

    Her hand drifted across the bed searching.Empty, no warmth. No trace of him.Her eyes snapped open, panic igniting in their depths as she shot upright, her gaze sweeping the room in frantic disbelief.“Cal…”His name left her lips in a fragile whisper.She stumbled out of bed, her heartbeat quickening with every step as she moved toward the bathroom. Her knuckles rapped lightly against the door.“Cal, are you in there?”Silence answered her.A flicker of unease tightened her chest. Slowly, her fingers curled around the handle and pushed it open.Empty.Her breath hitched.For a split second, the world felt too quiet.Then—Her eyes darted across the room, landing on the table. With hurried steps, she crossed the distance, her pulse racing as she grabbed the small sticker note resting there.There is porridge in the microwave. Eat and get some rest. I’ll drop by after work.A breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding slipped past her lips.“Oh… thank goodness. I was so scared…”Her

    “Now that’s the spirit, girl!” she exclaimed, her voice alive with excitement. “Getting into the spotlight won’t be easy. Start with backstage work for now, while I comb through potential brands. Securing even a few good ones will give your debut a real edge.”“Okay thanks Katie” Moments later, Cl

    Guinevere staggered to her feet, her chest heaving as ragged breaths tore in and out of her lungs. “Why are you just standing there?!” she barked, her voice sharp and frantic. “Go catch her!”Cleopatra moved back again, but loose rocks tumbled into the sea below, forcing her to steady herself immed

    Cleopatra dragged herself across the rain-soaked earth, mud and water clawing at her as her freezing clothes clung to her skin. Each movement tore a gasp from her throat, exhaustion crushing her with every inch she gained.She bit back the urge to cry out, forcing herself forward through sheer will

    “Why am I tied up? Why can’t I see anything? How do I get this blindfold off? Where… where the hell am I?” Cleopatra’s voice cracked, raw and ragged, her panic clawing its way up her throat. Darkness pressed in from every side, her hands struggled uselessly against the bindings, and her heart raced
