“D-Don...” My voice trembled as I spoke his name, my hands still raised as if to shield myself from the weapon that had been aimed at me just moments ago. My feet shuffled cautiously backward, my gaze never leaving his face. His expression shifted from initial shock to recognition, and I saw his brows furrow as if he were trying to process what had just happened. The gun remained steady in his grip, its presence a stark reminder of the danger I had just narrowly escaped.
For an agonizingly long moment, he remained rooted in place, and it was as if the world had frozen around us. Then, as though a veil had been lifted from his eyes, a flicker of realization crossed his features. His gaze dropped to the gun in his hand, and his face contorted in a mixture of shock and regret.

After a leisurely breakfast, another knock echoed through the hotel room, its gentleness contrasting the first, intrusive one. Abaddon and I exchanged a glance, the tension in the air less pronounced this time. He swung open the door to reveal one of his familiar guards, a face I recognized from before. I offered a warm smile and a slight wave, and he returned the gesture with a respectful nod before handing a series of bags to Abaddon. Their hushed conversation was barely audible as the guard left the room.Curiosity got the best of me. "What's all that?" I inquired.Abaddon's lips curled into a faint smile as he turned his attention back to me. "Seeing as you don't have much to wear, I had some things brought over for you."
With his arms enveloping me in a protective embrace, a reassuring calm washed over me. I nestled my cheek against his solid chest, feeling the tension in my muscles gradually melt away. His embrace radiated warmth, a contrast to the whirlwind of emotions that had gripped me just moments before. Soft kisses rained down on the top of my head, further soothing my rattled nerves. His large, warm hands pressed against my back, drawing me close to him in an embrace that promised safety and security.It was a sensation I had never known before, the comfort of his presence seeping into every fiber of my being. A sigh escaped my lips, carried away on the rhythmic cadence of his heartbeat. The warmth of his colossal form enveloped me, cocooning me in his protective shield.As if responding to my unspoken thou

The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft and gentle glow across the room. As consciousness slowly reclaimed me from the depths of sleep, I found myself in an unfamiliar place, the soft sheets and plush mattress beneath me unfamiliar and foreign. The night's indulgence had left my head throbbing in protest, a relentless reminder of the excesses that had taken hold.I groaned softly, the sound muted in the quiet of the room, and cautiously pushed myself into a sitting position. The memories of the previous night were muddled and fragmented, a foggy haze that clung to the edges of my consciousness. Panic fluttered in my chest, my heart quickening as I struggled to piece together the puzzle of the evening.My gaze swept across the room, taking in the luxurious surroundings that sp
The night was alive with the electric energy of the city, a backdrop of bustling streets and vibrant lights that set the stage for the unexpected convergence of four intriguing personalities. Jezebel, Melissa, Dexter, and Axel found themselves drawn together, united by the gravitational pull of curiosity and intrigue, their paths converging as they observed the unfolding scene before them. Jezebel leaned against the wall, her eyes veiled in amusement as she watched her brother, Abaddon, whisk Aurelia away in his arms. The playful glint in her eyes revealed a knowing smile—she was well aware of the dynamics at play between the two. Her gaze shifted to Melissa, the newest addition to the group, a woman of mystery whose aura was a blend of enigma and allure. Melissa's expression was a mix of fascination and assessment, her sharp eyes taking in every detail of the scene before her. She had been brought into this world unexpectedly, and now, her gaze locked onto Axel—his playful demeanor
The night unfolded like a dream, full of laughter and whispers of adventure. With Jezebel, Mel, and me, it was like stepping into a world of secrets and possibilities. Up on that rooftop bar, the music wrapped around us, and I danced like there was no tomorrow. We were a trio of unstoppable energy, united against anything that dared to intrude on our fun. But beneath the laughter and the music, something was different. I felt as if someone was there, lingering like shadows, keeping watch from a distance. It felt like they were guarding us, watching over us in their own mysterious way. The night held a sense of intrigue, like we were characters in a story just waiting to be discovered. As the hours passed, the mix of drinks and excitement blurred my senses. The night had an air of adventure, a whisper that urged me to step out of my comfort zone. And then she appeared. The carefree me, a new friend who felt strangely familiar, like a missing puzzle piece falling into place. And then
