Breakfast was silent. Sebastian eyed me like a piece of toast. I could hear the whispering of the maids, giggling as they stared from the far corner of the room.

"Are you okay, Madam Kierra?" Tobi asked while sipping his glass of milk. His small voice broke the tension. "Why do you have bite marks all over your neck?"

I nearly choked on my orange juice. With a startled gasp, I lifted my hand and covered the blemishes that painted my neck. I hadn’t realized how visible they were.

Sebastian leaned back against his chair, clad in his robe, an infuriating smirk spreading across his face. He had bite marks too, scattered along his collarbone, bold and possessive—marks I’d left there. I stared daggers at him.

"I-It’s just insect bites," I said quickly.

Tobi tilted his head thoughtfully. "Too big for insect bites, don’t you think, Tobi?" Sebastian chimed in, delighting in my embarrassment.

Tobi shrugged. "Whatever Madam Kierra says, sir."

The sound of rapid footsteps echoed through the corri

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   The Murderer

    “The Monsignor?” I looked at my mother with a bamboozled face. “Sounds like a made-up name.”“That’s because it is,” she took the diary and read it. “Monsignor wasn’t just any person. He was an entity. He never showed who he was. But he left crumbs and pieces that showed he existed.”The Monsignor…“And how do we find this person?”“You don’t find him, Kierra!” mom holds my shoulders tightly, as if knocking some sense into me. “You don’t seek the Monsignor.”“But if this person killed Dad… and he’s still out there… how will I ever know that you’re safe?”So this is why. This is why my mother has never gotten the semblance of a normal life. She’s being chased by a man that no one has ever seen.It seems like hunting this Monsignor is a hard task.“The Hails must have information about him.” I thought to myself. But I couldn’t bring myself to tell mom that I was planning to seek this man.I need answers.And I need justice. My life went downhill from the time the Hails mistreated my d

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   The Bigger Fish

    “Thanks for meeting me here, Alex.”I looked from side to side to check our surroundings as I met Alexandrei in the lobby of the condo that I had rented for my mom.“How has she been?” I asked him as we went into the elevator.“She’s anxious,” he tells me while pushing the button. “You still haven’t explained to me what happened. You promised you would tell me if I had my men look after her.”I frowned.“I can’t protect a person I do not fully know, Kie,” he look at me straight in the eye. “And you still haven’t told me who were chasing me the other day when I covered for your mother.”“I do not know who they are either.” I replied. “I just know that it was Desmond’s dogs, probably.”“Desmond’s in jail.”“But his words continue to reach his people.” I looked at him dead in the eye. “We should cut off their visitation days. That way, we can be guaranteed there’ll be no more orders.”“There has been no one visiting the Hails these past weeks.”What…?But that’s impossible.“If it’s not

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   The Abandoned Child

    “We’re back, Mr. Novair.” Tobias greeted us as he returned to the vehicle right after school with his new friend, Daryl. I stared at the two. Since when have they become such good friends?Was it right after I took Daryl in for a night? My gaze focused on the boy as he stared at me. Tobias opened the car’s door and went inside— but Daryl didn’t. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you coming in?” I was surprised to hear Tobi invite him. He hated him, but now it seemed he had softened for the boy, too. “We were gonna hang out, right?”“I…” Daryl began and then looked at Sebastian and I. I quickly got what he was trying to hint at.“Daryl?”“Miss Evans…” my spines straightened as he called my name. “…how’s Mommy and Daddy doing?”My heart broke. What do I even say to him?That I put them to jail?My throat became dry. And for once, I was out of words. Daryl didn’t deserve to have bad parents like Selene and Damian. Daryl didn’t deserve to be abandoned and to pay the price for his mother’s sins. I

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   Rumors About the Kid

    “I had the weirdest thing happen to me today,” I hopped into the car and handed Sebastian his drink. He took it with one hand as he closed the door for me.“What?”“I bumped into someone,” I settled myself in and made myself comfortable. “I almost spilled your drink on him, good thing he caught me in time.”“He?” Sebastian raised an eyebrow while starting the engine. “Just now?”“Yeah,” I tried to scan my eyes across my surroundings, looking for the man I was speaking of. “I didn’t expect he’d steady me out. For his age, he is quite strong.”“For his age?” Sebastian now looked at me with a suspicious look. “What are you talking about?”“He was old,” I took a sip of my drink. “Exquisite taste of fashion too.”Sebastian rolled his eyes and started driving. We talked about a few things, including picking up Tobias from school. The school he enrolled in was already in the city, so it didn’t take that long for us to arrive.“Sebastian, can I ask you something?”“Hm?” he answered, while loo

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   Myth

    “Monsignor?”Alexandrei’s eyes lifted from the cluttered case file, sharp and unyielding as one of his officers uttered the name. A name most believed to be a story—one that crept from the gutters and wrapped itself in myth.“It’s just whispers on the streets,” one of the chief deputies said, shifting uneasily in his seat. “But it’s one of the names connected to dozens of unsolved cases in the city. Syndicated crime, arms smuggling, contract killings. His name even extends to groups operating outside the state and even…”“In Sicily.”All heads turned toward Commandant Alexandrei Reyes.“You seem to have heard of him too, sir,” the deputy ventured.“The President wants his head. The UN has him on their hit list,” Alexandrei replied flatly.A younger detective leaned forward. “Is he a terrorist of some kind?”Alexandrei moved toward the large corkboard at the front of the room. A single silhouette occupied the center, a bold red question mark scrawled across where the face should be.“H

    “Kierra?”I quickly shut the book off and tossed it into the box as Sebastian knocked on my door. My heart was pounding way too much for me to even hear what he had said.“Did you hear me? Are you there?”I grabbed the remote from the desk that allowed me to unlock the door, “C…Come in!”The knob unlocks and I watched as he entered the room with a smile. “May I come in, madam CEO?”I rolled my eyes at him while I gathered my composure, “Whatever, Sebastian.”He walked towards the desk and I quickly slipped the box into the safe with my boot. It makes a thud as the safe door closes.“What was that?” he raised an eyebrow.“I knocked my knees in the desk,” I pretended to carress the part. “Shall we go home?”Sebastian sat on the chair in front of me and roamed his eyes across the room, inspecting it himself. I crossed my arms. “Are you planning on designing the place?”He smirks, “Maybe I am.”“Well I hope it won’t be a ton of hidden cameras.”He walks towards the glass wall behind me.
