(Damian POV)

What a good day to kill someone, I thought as I sipped my black coffee while looking out the beautiful view from my penthouse. “This view never gets old” I said while enjoying the little peace I get every day but of course, it never last long… “Good morning boss” mehn I wish I can kill this guy already. “What do you want Arnold?” I said while eye brows raised and eyes filled with rage. “S... sorry sir but your brother is at the lobby waiting for you” he said with trembling voice, sigh… “Fine, I’ll be down in 15, now leave me alone” “yes sir” he said with hurried feet. I got downstairs after an hour; yes I know I said after 15 but fuck it, I can do whatever I want. “This better be important David” “quit your whining big brother, I just came to check to see if you were still alive” he said

“Hahaha very funny, you have seen me, now you can go”

“Cool down bro, what’s the rush anyways, we got the address of Mr. James, the one that owes money from the casino in Boston”

“Now you are giving news that I will love to hear, I knew I was going to kill someone today” I said with a grin. This is going to be fun. “Book me the next flight to Boston Arnold” “yes sir” he said.

Where are my manners, my name is Damian Blackwood, first born of 3; A brother and a cute little sister, I swear she has us wrapped around her cute little finger. We lived with our grandparents after our parents were brutally murdered by one of our rivals, it was tough growing up without them, grand pa was hard on me and David but he always cherished Katie, my sister. My grand ma was the sweetest and still is, she loved us all equally.

I was 15 years old when our parents died and as the first born I had to be the one to step up and rule my father’s businesses, even the ones underground that I didn’t know were there. No wonder dad was a knuckle head. For 12 years I have been the mafia boss and boy was I feared. I became heartless, emotionless and grew a liking for see the blood of my enemies, and anyone who dears cross my path, roll down their body as I slice them bit by bit while being hanged. I know it’s sick but that’s your freaking business, get a better hobby then.

(End of back story)

Few minutes later, I was on the plane heading to Boston. My brother filled me in on what Mr. James have being up to for the last 5 years. He remarried after his wife died from a car accident to a very beautiful, much younger woman and he has a step daughter, wow… she is one beautiful soul. Her forest green eyes can make a man get lost just looking at it and with her slender yet curvy petite body, her skin looks like it was made from a body factory, smooth, flawless caramel skin. Oh... what I will do with this body I thought.

“Uhh… bro you alright there?” he said with a slight grin on his face, eyes looking like they are about to cry from holding a laughter and the while looking down at my pants, oh great, now I’m hard. “Piss off David, it’s not of your business” I said with an eye roll “oops, my bad bro” he said with his hands up but still had that stupid grin that I wanted to wipe out so bad. “You’re lucky you are my brother, you wouldn’t have breath anymore by now” I said with knitted brows.

After what felt like forever, we got to Boston and my men were there waiting for me to take me to my office. “Do we know his whereabouts right now?” I asked looking at one of my men sitting in front. “Yes boss we do, he is currently with his wife and daughter having brunch at Starbucks”

“Perfect, what a pleasant way to meet my bride” I said with a glint of evil circling in my eye. David looked at me with a raised brow “bride? What are you up to Damian?”

“Oh, you’ll see” I cannot wait to get my hands on you Elena, I thought as we got closer to my office.

    ELENA POVIts been 6 months now.The air felt different.Lighter.For the first time in a long time… I could breathe without fear sitting in my chest.Recovery hadn’t been easy.The scars remained—some visible, some not.But I was stronger now.Not because I survived.But because I chose to keep living.I stood on the balcony of the estate, the evening sun painting the sky in soft gold and deep orange. The wind brushed gently against my skin, and for once… it didn’t feel like a warning.It felt like peace.“You’re thinking too much again.”I smiled before turning.Damian.He looked… different too.Still powerful. Still dangerous.But softer around the edges when he looked at me.“Am I?” I teased lightly.“Always,” he replied, stepping closer.There was no tension between us now.No walls.Just something steady.Real.“I was just thinking,” I said quietly, “how everything changed.”His

    DAMIAN POVThe hospital smelled like antiseptic and fear.I hated it.I hated everything about it.The bright lights.The rushed footsteps.The way time slowed and sped up at the same time.“Elena!” I shouted as they rushed her through the emergency doors.Doctors. Nurses. Hands everywhere.“Gunshot wound—significant blood loss—get the OR ready!”“She’s crashing!”The words hit like bullets.“No—” I grabbed the stretcher before they could pull her away. “You save her.”A doctor stepped in front of me. “Sir, you need to let us—”“Save her,” I repeated, my voice low, shaking with something dangerous. “Or this entire hospital answers to me.”Silence.Tension.Then—“We’re doing everything we can,” he said quickly.They pulled her away.And just like that—She was gone again.The doors to the operating room slammed shut.And I was left outside.Powerless.I ran a hand through my hair, pac

    DAMIAN POVShe saved me.The realization hit harder than the bullet wound.Elena.Fighting.Thinking.Moving like she belonged in chaos.Like she had always been this strong.I kept up with her pace, ignoring the pain tearing through my shoulder.“Left!” she said.I didn’t question it.Didn’t hesitate.I followed.Because somehow—She knew.We turned sharply, slipping through a narrow exit just as more gunfire erupted behind us.Cold night air hit my face.Freedom.Almost.Cars screeched in the distance—my men.Right on time.Elena slowed slightly, breath heavy, but her grip on me didn’t loosen.“You came,” she said quietly.I looked at her.Really looked.She wasn’t the same woman who had been chained.She wasn’t afraid.She was fire.“I told you,” I said, voice rough, “I’d find you.”Her eyes softened—but only for a second.Then—“We’re not safe yet.”A small smile tugged at my lips despite everything.“Yeah,” I said.“I noticed.”Behind us—The warehouse doors burst open.Anton ste

    DAMIAN POVAnton didn’t move.That was the problem.Men like him—They don’t panic.They don’t rush.They wait.And somehow…They’re always ahead.“You walked right into it,” Anton said, his voice smooth, almost bored.I didn’t lower my gun.“Where is she?”A faint smile curved his lips.“Still asking the wrong question.”My finger tightened slightly on the trigger.“Last chance.”He tilted his head.“You think this ends with bullets?”A click echoed behind me.I stilled.Another one to my left.And then—Several more.My jaw tightened.Surrounded.Of course.Anton stepped forward, hands casually in his pockets.“No matter how powerful you are, Damian… there’s always a blind spot.”My mind was already calculating.Distance.Angles.Targets.I could take three—maybe four—before they got a clean shot.But not all.Not like this.Not if—“Elena,” I muttered under my breath.Anton heard it.And smiled wider.“Yes,” he said softly. “Let’s talk about her.”Rage flared sharp and fast in my c

    The warehouse sat too quiet.That was the first thing I noticed.No obvious guards.No visible movement.No noise except the distant crash of waves against metal.Anton was inviting me in.I know you Anton I stepped out of the car slowly, adjusting the cuff of my sleeve like this was just another business meeting—not a rescue mission that could end in blood.“Perimeter?” I asked.“Scattered,” Noah replied through the comms. “Heat signatures inside, but they’re moving irregularly.”Decoys.Or rotating guards.Either way—calculated.I slid my gun into place, movements precise, controlled.“Team A, west entrance. Team B, hold position until I give the signal,” I ordered.“You’re going in first?” Noah asked.“Yes.”A pause.Then, “Understood.”I moved.Every step deliberate. Silent. Focused.The side entrance door was slightly ajar.Of course it was.Anton doesn’t lock doors.He opens them.I pushed it slowly and slipped inside.Dark.Cold.The scent of rust and oil clung to the air.My

    ELENA POV The chain finally gave. A soft click. Barely audible. But I felt it. My breath caught as I froze, listening. Nothing. No footsteps rushing in. No alarms. Good. I'm finally free... Slowly—carefully—I twisted my wrist again. The loosened joint shifted just enough. Pain shot through my skin as I forced my hand through the cuff, scraping against metal, biting down hard to keep from making a sound. One more push— And my hand slipped free. I almost laughed. Not out loud. Never out loud. But inside? Fire. I did it. Holy shit.. I actually did it, I said o my self as I sat there to process everything. I didn’t move immediately. That would be stupid. Instead, I stayed exactly where I was, head lowered, breathing shallow—like I was still restrained. Listening. Counting. Steps outside. Three… two… one… Turn. Good. Routine confirmed. I slid my freed hand slowly forward, reaching down to my ankle restraints. These were easier. Less secure. Thirty seconds lat
