The cost of defiance

It’s been weeks. Weeks since I last saw Renz. Weeks since I last heard his voice.

Bronco says he’s still in Colombia, resetting the business. That’s all I get—business. Strategy. Progress. But never him.

God, I miss him. Every night I reach for my phone, my thumb hovering over his number, and every night I tell myself no. He doesn’t need me pulling at him. Not now. Not when the weight of his world is already enough. Maybe staying quiet is better… maybe.

The evening air was cool when i steppe

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Hallucination....

    Malachi's PovI couldn't breathe.I stood there staring at the flames, but my mind had stopped understand what I was seeing.The car was gone...the woman was gone. That was what I wanted. That was the sight I had spent days imagining...to see Renz break. It should have been the end. So why the fuck was he suddenly moving? He turned away from the burning car and ran toward the little girl.I stared. "The fuck?"The girl was still there.Alive.Renz reached her and dropped beside her. He pulled her against his chest so tightly that she almost disappeared inside his arms.Then several men rushed toward him.I blinked.Men?Where the fuck had they come from? They appeared from between the containers and moved around Renz and the child like they had been waiting for a signal. I couldn't understand it. It wasn't part of the plan. I knew In that moment that something had totally gone wrong. Why was that bastard so difficult to destroy? I had done everything. Everything. I had buried him. Br

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Son of a bitch!

    Nyx's PovThe first thing I remembered wasn't the pain. It was Rynna screaming. The sound tore through my head before I even opened my eyes. Then came everything else.The chair, the ropes biting into my wrists until they went numb. The cold water they kept throwing over me whenever I blacked out.The questioning....and beatings. Malachi's fucking laughter. Every memory crashed into me at once. A groan escaped my lips before my eyes slowly opened.The ceiling above me looked unfamiliar. My body felt like it had been crushed beneath a truck. Even breathing hurt.I tried moving but a sharp pain shot through my ribs. "Damn..." I whispered."Easy.".. That was.....Marco's voice so I turned weakly. He was kneeling beside me.Several armed men stood around us, watching the entrance with their weapons raised. Among them stood a stranger with a hard face, watching the outside more than me.For a second, I couldn't understand what I was looking at. The last family I'd seen before everything wen

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   A perfect switch

    Then came the beep.The sharp sound echoed across the depot, and every muscle in my body locked.It had begun.Marco slowly lowered the binoculars and exhaled."It's time."Out in the open, Renz reacted exactly as we'd planned. He bolted toward the black SUV without hesitation. His hand grabbed the handle and pulled. He knew it was locked, but he kept pulling.His fist slammed hard against the reinforced window a couple times but the glass refused to give way."Damn..." I muttered under my breath. For a split second...Even I forgot it was an act. Renz looked completely broken. He leaned close to the window, resting one hand against the glass as his lips moved. Whatever he whispered was clearly meant only for her.We both couldn't hear a word. But somehow... It didn't feel rehearsed. Marco shook his head with the faintest grin."Someone give that man an Oscar." A quiet chuckle escaped me. "He deserves two."We couldn't move yet. Not while Malachi was still scanning the yard. Renz sud

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   The trap within the Trap

    Roman's PovLast night had been long. Sleep never came.Every time I closed my eyes, I found myself back in that dining hall, watching Luis Renz quietly listen while I explained the only weakness I believed Malachi still had.His pride.It had been years since I'd last stood before Renz.Back then, he was already a dangerous man. Now...He felt different. Broad shoulders, more tattoos...he looked larger than I remembered with the same terrifying calm...Only heavier now.Like a man who had buried too much of himself and learned to live with what remained.. I walked straight into the Shadow King's hideout and he listened to what I had to say, A few questions were past, doubt, Renz tested every word I'd said......then accepted my suggestion. He was risking everything on information coming from a former enemy.That...That was something Malachi could never do. Malachi rules with fear. Renz rules with trust and maybe that is why men kept choosing him. I owed Renz nothing. He didn't even

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   A fatal gamble!

    The drive back to the estate was painfully quiet.The engine hummed through the empty road while none of us found the strength to speak. Roman sat beside me in complete silence. His wife remained at the back with their little boy asleep against her shoulder, one hand gently stroking the child's hair as though reassuring herself he was still there.I kept my eyes on the road. Trusting Roman was already a dangerous gamble. Bringing him into our hideout...That was an even bigger one.If he truly meant every word he had said...Then today might become the turning point of this war. But if he was lying...and this was another one of Malachi's games...Then I had just handed our location to the enemy.And this time...Renz would never forgive me. The thought stayed with me until the familiar gates finally appeared ahead. The guards recognized my car almost immediately...as the heavy iron gates slid open.Roman watched them carefully before looking farther into the estate."So..." His voice wa

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   A risk worth taking

    He then stepped aside, I walked into the house, but before I had taken two steps, the door shut almost immediately behind me. The sound echoed louder than it should have.My eyes wandered around the room.The place was small but neat.Nothing about it suggested the man living here had once worked for one of the most feared criminals in Italy.Then my eyes caught them.A woman sat on the old sofa, patiently feeding a little boy who couldn't have been older than four. The child laughed softly at something she whispered.I blinked.Roman... had a family?That was new.He noticed where I was looking and sighed."How did you find me?" he asked. His voice wasn't curious. It was cold.I shrugged lightly. "Some things just happen." His expression didn't change."No."He took a slow step toward me."They don't. So I'll ask again." He said narrowing his eyes."How...""...did you find me?"The room suddenly felt much smaller. "That's not important right now.""Were you followed. You know Malac

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Pregnant, angry, and not in the mood

    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

  • THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS   Warmth in a cold house

    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

    Gabriel's PovEver since the news of Renz’s death dropped, something inside me loosened. Relief… finally. A sense of order returning, like the world had clicked back into the place I designed for it.Except for one problem.Nyx.She’d spiraled the moment she heard. Crying for days. Skipping meals.
