Camila's Pov

Finding an office was pretty easy. Finding a place to live? That was the real struggle.

I sighed, half annoyed, half amused, then leaned back in my chair, chewing at my lip, and cursing in my head.

Accommodation shouldn’t be this hard. I mean, I already have an office. Why does a roof have to feel like rocket science?

I rolled my eyes laughing bitterly. Maybe I should just camp at the office. At least I won’t pay rent for air.

Just then, my phone rang. Saved me from losing my mind

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Sabotaged...

    Marco’s PovI was smiling.I don’t usually smile before an operation. So that alone should have warned me something was wrong.I drove behind my men on purpose, watching their car ahead through the windshield. They thought I was just being careful.I wasn’t.I wanted to arrive differently. For once, I wasn’t thinking like a strategist. I was thinking like a man.Renz would finally stand in the same space as his daughter. Nyx would see her child again. A family would become whole...For the first time in a long while, something big was about to happen.And Camila…After all this time, I would see her again.Not on a screen.Not through updates.In front of me.The thought tightened something warm in my chest.My men sped ahead in the first car while I slowed behind, giving myself distance. I’d studied this route carefully. Narrow exits. Fewer cameras. Fewer eyes.Perfect.I intended to reach before them anyway.I checked the time.We left early. No delays.Everything was calculated.Yes

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   No backup...No mercy

    When the name Renz is involved, doors open. Privileges follow.Italy looked better than I imagined.Beautiful streets. Clean roads. Calm skies.Rynna’s face was glued to the window once we landed.“Everything looks like a movie,” she whispered.I smiled. “It kind of does.”We talked about buildings. About the language. About the cars speeding past us.Everything was going as planned.Two cars, just like Marco said, picked us up from the airport.Quiet.Careful.Because here in Italy, Renz’s men were being hunted.Renz’s enemies were searching.And we were not supposed to be seen.Showing up openly at the airport would have been foolish.Since they had hidden identities here.But since he would be the one taking us to my sister.I couldn’t wait to see him.And soon after leaving the airport, our cars slowed down.We turned into a quieter area.Isolated.A few men were already there.Waiting as he had said.I looked around. Scanning their faces.Marco wasn’t there.Something in my ches

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Not a dime...yet he took her

    Camila's PovThe living room felt heavier than usual.Not loud. Not exactly tense. Just… thick. Like the air itself was waiting for someone to say the wrong thing.I sat across my parents on the couch, hands clasped loosely in my lap, trying to look calmer than I actually felt. I wasn’t.“I’m taking Rynna to see Nyx,” I said.Simple words.But they carried heavy meaning.My mother’s brows pulled together immediately. “Now? Why would Nyx want her suddenly? School hasn’t even closed for the term.”I expected that.I gave her a small smile. “She knows that, Mom. But right now… sending Rynna over is the best thing.”I stretched the last part slightly, letting my eyes flick toward the hallway. A silent message.Don’t ask more.Not here.Not where little ears could be listening.Renz’s name was never really spoken around Rynna. And I wasn’t about to start now.Mom caught the hint. Her lips pressed into a thin line.“Where is she now?” she whispered.“In her room,” I replied quietly. “Prete

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   The first Strike...

    Maria's PovThe highway stretched long and quiet under the night sky, headlights cutting through the dark like a blade. My fingers rested loose on the steering wheel, but my mind was far away.Back in Colombia.Back in Ricardo’s arms.A slow smile tugged at my lips.God… that man.His hands were still ghosting over my skin in memory — warm, rough, claiming. The way he’d looked at me like I was both trouble and reward. I could still see it — that flicker in Ricardo’s eyes when I whispered that name — Renz. The dead man walking. The nightmare returning.I'll tell you what...I liked men who felt alive when danger breathed close.And Ricardo… he burned.And then… the way he pulled me closer after. Like danger itself made him want me more.My thighs pressed together slightly at the memory. Heat curled low in my stomach. That man had a way of making chaos feel intimate… like the world could burn and we’d still be tangled in the flames.I exhaled slowly.Focus.Italy came back into view as

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   A death sentence: Renz is Alive

    Ricardo's PovI was stretched back on the couch, one leg crossed over the other, giving out lazy orders like a king bored of his own kingdom.“Check the east docks again,” I said lazily. “I want no surprises tonight.”“Yes, boss,” one of them replied.Another stood closer. “The shipment—”“Handled,” I cut in. “Get it done.”He nodded fast....already walking away.The room smelled of whiskey and smoke. Low lights. Heavy silence..And then—The air shifted.I felt it before I saw it.Not loud. Not sudden. Just… different.My men felt it too. Their shoulders stiffened. Their voices died mid-sentence. Every instinct in the room went alert.I lifted my gaze slowly toward the door.And there she was.Maria.For a second, I forgot how to breathe.It had been a while since I’d last seen her, but damn—time had been kind. She looked even better now. Dangerous. Confident. Like fire wrapped in silk. Her dress clung to her body like it knew it belonged there...just beautiful in a way that made men

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Back to the beginning...!

    Gabriel's PovThe night had already pissed me off before I got home.The club was loud, stupid, and full of people pretending not to notice how badly things were shifting. I left late than usual, head pounding, patience gone. All I wanted was to see Nyx, confirm she was home, remind myself that at least one thing was still under my control.I went straight upstairs.Nyx’s door was unlocked.Her room was quiet.I stepped in and scanned the space without thinking—bed untouched, lights off, her bag gone. No shoes by the door. No movement in the bathroom. Just nothing.I checked again. Slower this time.Still nothing.Then I glanced at my watch.3:25 a.m.Nyx was never out this late. Never.A slow irritation crawled up my spine.I turned and headed back downstairs, my steps sharp, already forming questions. The men on guard straightened when they saw me....which already told me I wouldn’t like their answer.“Where’s Nyx?” I asked.They exchanged a look.One of them cleared his throat. “Bo

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   The fear of losing his child...

    Nyx's PovI went to my room not long after Gabe left.He had taken a few things and walked out with his men like nothing had happened. I felt a small wave of relief wash over me. Whatever dark plans he had cooked in his mind were cut short—but I still wondered what could have scared him enough to l

    Nyx's PovI found Gabe in the sitting room, scrolling through his phone like he had nothing to worry about.I stood there, holding my calm like it was glued on my face.“I’ll be going to town today,” I said. “I have some school paperwork to sort out.”He didn’t look up at first. Then he did—slow, s

    I walked into the kitchen quietly, the way I always did these days.Elena was at the stove, her back to me. I’d memorized her routine by now. When she cooked. How she chopped. How she hummed under her breath when she thought no one was listening.So today… I wanted to cook for myself.But the momen
