Sasha had been excited the past few days knowing Damian had gotten rid of his pet. Even though he was cold towards her, what mattered was the woman who was a threat to her had left. It would only be a matter of time before Damian realized he needed a woman who understood his world. And when that time came, he would choose her since she had always been obedient to him and didn’t ask him to love her. She knew that a Mafia boss didn’t need phony feelings like love. What he needed was a strong partner who can not be a distraction to him. In this fact, she was confident. There was no way Damian would choose that weak woman to be his partner. If he wanted to have a wife, it would be someone like her. Someone who had survived several hardships and knew how dark and bloody the Mafia world could be. Knowing Evelyn was no longer at the club, Sasha decided to make herself more visible to Damian so that her chances of being picked as his partner could be heightened. But before she could

A few days passed. Damian was discussing some business with Jack in his office. They had managed to capture the culprits who were selling drugs at the event Damian had attended a few days ago but before they could get any useful information, those men slit their throats with razor blades. Jack paced in front of the desk. “Damian, those guys sneaking drugs into the City must be coming from Zach’s Mafia. That’s why they killed themselves.” “Mm-hm, I know,” Damian responded calmly but his eyes held a glint of calculation. “Aren’t we going to retaliate? They are tainting the City.” Jack grumbled. Damian smirked in response, “we can’t make a move so soon without concrete evidence. I’m bidding my time. If we make a move now without knowing if we have spies in our group, we might cause the death of a lot of people.” Jack nodded. What Damian said made sense. They just couldn’t attack without a plan or proof of who was responsible for trafficking drugs in their territory. “Tonight’

The next day, Evelyn awoke to a gnawing pain in her abdomen. She was having stomach cramps and had curled herself up into a ball on the bed while her brows knitted and beads of sweat coated her forehead. Damian came out of the shower and frowned seeing Evelyn’s state. He walked towards her and placed his palm on her forehead to check her body temperature. “What’s wrong with you?” He asked, his voice laced with concern. Evelyn clutched her stomach. “I’m having stomach cramps. They will stop soon. This is normal.” Damian’s frown intensified. ‘She clearly looks like she’s in a lot of pain, what does she mean it’s normal?’ He said in his mind. He looked over at her and saw how she was trying to hide her pain. His heart ached for her. He brushed a stray hair on her face away, tucking it behind her ear. “You don’t have to go to the club today.” Evelyn shook her head and began to sit up. “No, I want to go.” She wanted to follow Damian. She would miss him if she was separated fro

Nina had not seen Evelyn for two days straight and neither was her phone going through. She couldn’t help but get worried. She went to find Jack in his office to ask if he heard or knew anything about her whereabouts. When she walked into his office, Jack raised his head and smiled at her but seeing her worried look, he stood up from his seat and walked towards her. “What’s the matter? Why do you look so worried?” Nina looked up at him. “It’s Evelyn. When you told me her uncle had taken her, I went to look for her at her place but they told me she had gone out to look for a job. And then I tried to call her but her phone was off. Something feels off.” She said, biting her lip. Jack furrowed his brows. He was surprised when he learnt that Damian had let Evelyn go but his friend said it was for the best so he didn’t think much about it. “How about we investigate? Maybe camp at her house to see if she’s really there?” Nina’s eyes lit up at his suggestion. “That’s a good idea.

Evelyn was mulling over how she would make her escape when the door to the basement was opened, making her heart leap to her throat. Each time that door opened, she dreaded what her kidnappers would do to her. So far they hadn’t crossed the line apart from training her on how to be an escort but she still had her guard up. She raised her head and glared at Zach who had just walked into the basement with his hands shoved into his pockets. “That was a great show from you and Damian. I almost believed it.” Zach said as he raked his eyes over Evelyn. She was still clad in her earlier outfit. His eyes darkened with lust. He couldn’t deny that she had an appealing body. Evelyn ignored him and turned her gaze away. It was best to keep quiet than to provoke him. Something told her this man had no limits. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Does it mean I’m right? Damian was pretending not to care about you, right?” Evelyn sighed and returned her gaze to him. “If he cared about me he w
