Xiomar POV

Lyla Russo.

She looked even better than what we had heard. Everyone had talked about her,she probably was clueless as to how much of a celebrity she was. I mean a powerful don daughter no one has ever seen? She was a golden egg.

I have touched Lyla Russo. Twice. To be honest, the first time, I was sane then. I was dedicated to my craft, and all I saw was a teenage girl that has so much issues and she wanted the exact tattoo my brother has on. She didn't know it was family insignia but yeah, somehow, we collectively agreed to mark this girl as a Draghi. I mean all she had to do was to brag to a few friends after about her cool fire breathing tat.

Today I touched her again. I ran my hands over my hair, gripping the steering of my Mercedes-AMG G 65 till my hands physically hurt.

I needed to let out this steam quickly.

Why did she have to be beautiful? Why did she have to look at me that way, and the sound that came out from her when I manhandled her?

    Lyla’s POVFuck. What day was it?Christian was such a bastard. Leaving me here for how long? It had been days since I was hanging by this chains now, and I was sick of it.The door creaked open. I raised my head up and looked into Eli’s eyes. He ignored me, dropping a bowl of water next to me. “Drink,” he barked. I bent down and drank the water, my throat parched. Eli scorned at me, his face twisted like he was disgusted. I sighed and raised my head back up weakly.“Get up.”“I can't,” my voice sounded gravely even to myself. Eli held my right hand, and when I thought he would yank it off, he slid out a key from his back pocket and unhooked the chains. “The Boss has asked you to join him this evening,” he said, unlocking all the chains binding me. “Get up.”I struggled, pushing myself up from the floor with my palms pressed firmly against it. A groan wrecked my ribs but I managed to stand, naked in front of him.“Hmm,” he grunted. “Can you walk?”“I think so,” I mumbled. “Good,” he

    My eyes felt so heavy, like stones pressing down on them, but I forced them open. A sharp sting of sunlight cut across the dank room through the slit in the boarded window. It burned, searing against the back of my skull. I blinked rapidly, the world coming into focus only to blur again, a sickening carousel of light and shadow.I lifted my head, though the movement felt like dragging an anchor across the floor. Every bone in me groaned. My wrists jerked slightly, and the chains rattled, a cruel reminder. The cold metal dug into the raw skin where I’d pulled too many times before, the wounds half-scabbed, half-open. My lips cracked when I tried to wet them with my tongue. My throat was dry, paper-thin, tasting of dust and iron.A shadow moved. My breath caught in my chest.Someone stepped into the path of the sunbeam, blocking the light, and for a heartbeat, I thought I was dead. His frame filled the room, familiar, impossibly familiar.“Daddy,” I whispered, my voice shredded, breakin

    There was so much blood.That was all I could see. All I could smell. Achilles’ blood was soaking through my shirt, hot and thick, and my arms locked tighter around him as if I could stop it from leaving his body just by holding on. His weight was collapsing against me, and for the first time in my life, I hated how strong he’d always been. He was heavy, unmovable—like stone, but now he was crumbling in my hands.“Achilles! Look at me!”, I screamed at my brother, clutching to his body for dear life. My voice came out rough, ragged. I shook him, just enough to make his head loll toward me. His eyes blinked, golden but dimming, like a candle in the wind. “Don’t close those eyes, brother, you hear me? Don’t you fucking dare.”“Emi…” His voice was barely there, a broken rasp. “It’s nothing… I’ve had worse.”“Worse?!” I snapped, fury rising like bile. “A bullet in your chest is not nothing, cabrón! Stay awake!”Xiomar’s voice cut through the chaos, deeper, thunderous. “Get him in the car,

    Lyla’s POVChristian laughed as the glass wound up. “Aww,” he said, wiping my tears away. “Are you crying for your precious?”I do not reply. “Where are we going?”“You seem confused about our agreement,Lyla. You don't ask questions, you just do what I need. Understood?” he snarled, grabbing my face.“Yes,” I murmured. He held my face for a long time, his eyes scanning my face. “Good,” he said. “When we get to our destination, you will know.”The car was blacked out, so I could not see anything. “Take your shirt off,” Christain suddenly said. “Come on, be fast.”I raised the shirt that Eli had roughly shoved down my body earlier. My chest was exposed and bruised. “So this okay?”“Mmmm,” he muttered underneath his breath. “You have to take care of what is mine, Lyla,” he said, touching my ribs. I hissed when he pressed a sore spot. “This would not do.”“Christian,” I cried, “stop.”“When we get to the mansion,” he continued, ignoring me, “you're going to prove to me just how much of a

    Achilles POV“Achilles,” Emilio cried out. “Answer us brother,” X said calmly, not yet enraged like I was. “Achilles talk to us.”“You know,” the snake continued. “It was so easy to predict what you would do. It was almost easy to believe you did not see my tattoo. I thought for sure you saw the death looks your little whore was swinging my way. Playing with her was so much fun.”She touched lyla. My hands curled and next thing, I gave the man by my side a solid punch. “You bitch,” I screamed. “How dare you?”“Oh, hush,” Leilani said. The other man shocked me, and I closed my eyes, groaning as the feeling of the electric current wrecked my body. “You had me, Achilles. I was waiting, hoping you would realize and come to your senses that I was the one for you,” she got up and walked to where I was. I looked into her eyes and she chuckled, running her hands down my chest.“You should not have come after her, Achilles. Not after I had begged to make you mine,” she whispered. Her eyes fl

    Lyla’s POVMy father walked into the small room, flagged by my elder brother and Eli. “The crow,” he said with a sick smile. “What an honor.”“The honor is all mine, Mr. Russo,” Christian accepted my father's stretched out hand. “You are legacy, of course. I could not refuse.”“Well, since you so expertly took care of my problem, on such short notice too. I couldn't help but feel grateful to you.”My hands hit the window pane between us, but there was no sound. My father sat down next to Christian, and took off his jacket. “A drink?” My ex husband asked.Two girls wearing lingerie walked into the room and poured the shots out for them. “I must say,” my father drank the whiskey, “you are a bold man.”“I just know what I was, Mr. Russo. I do not hesitate till I get what I want done too.”“Yes, but sneaking into here, taking over from those horrible brothers, starting the skin business again,” my father laughed. “I might just start mine again, you know, just for fun.”I felt sick to my s
