Fear looks different on Renz

You'll never see them without me."Malachi smiled through blood, even with a gun pressed against his skull.The bastard was still smiling.I scoffed."You know what?" I crouched lower. "It's satisfying seeing you like this."His smile twitched."Last time, you got lucky."I tilted his head back harder. "But you won't escape me this time."His jaw clenched. Fear looked better on him than confidence ever did. Then several of my men rushed into the room behind me. The sight alone made Malachi's expression darken slightly.I laughed."Wondering where your help is?"I forced his face forward."Allow me to update you." I told him calmly."Every ally you brought here is either dead, bleeding, or soon will be."I leaned closer."And once you're gone..."A smile tugged at my lips. "The rest will bow to me.""I don't think so."The disgusting voice made my eyes narrow instantly.Maria.That bitch. She walked into the room like she owned it. Black clothes. Dark hair. That same annoying confidenc

Malachi's game

Marco's PovThe car rolled to a stop a short distance from the location Malachi had sent.I stared at the massive estate ahead. The place looked far more polished than I expected. Clean walls. Expensive design. Perfectly maintained. Like nothing evil had ever happened inside those walls.But we both knew better.Beside me, Nyx kept her eyes fixed on the building.Silent.The opportunity was finally right in front of us. God... let this end in our favor."I think I spotted Lord Bronco's car," she suddenly said, pointing toward the left side of the property.I followed her finger and nodded. A small breath escaped me.Good.At least part of the plan was moving."We need to get inside," I said.Her eyes returned to the heavily guarded property."But how?"I held her gaze for a second. The answer hit both of us and we both spoke at the same time."The fence."A small smile touched her face. "The fence."We got out immediately. Keeping low, we circled toward the rear side of the property.

Everything went WRONG

"It's a fucking trap..."Bianca's voice came out strained as she stared at the unconscious woman and little girl.Her face hardened..."Renz could already be in serious danger."I clenched my jaw. "Signal the men to fall back," I barked immediately. "We're heading for the main entrance. Right now."She looked at me as I grabbed my gun. "We get Renz out before this turns into something even worse.""But the hostages—""Bianca!"She went silent."They're not here." I pointed around the room. "Can't you see? This whole damn place was built to fool us." I looked back at the fake hostages. "They wanted us to believe they were here. So they'll bring Renz straight into Malachi's den.""Fuck." Bianca cursed under her breath. "So every single detail...""...was real enough to fool us," I shamefully finished."If Renz had come with another plan...""He...would've failed anyway."She slowly nodded."Fuck..."Without another second to waste, she lowered the little girl onto the floor and we rushed

The long ride home...

Bianca's PovThe ride back felt longer than it should have. It was painfully quiet. No one spoke.The van rattled over the rough road, its engine the only sound inside. Blood stained the floor beneath our boots. The smell of gunpowder clung to every one of us like a curse that refused to fade.I glanced across the van.Renz sat against the wall with his head lowered, one hand pressing firmly over the bullet wound in his arm. Blood continued soaking through his sleeve, yet he acted as if he couldn't feel it.He hadn't spoken a single word since we escaped.Somehow...That frightened me more than his anger ever could. Quietly, I picked up the medical kit and moved closer. "Let me see your hand."He didn't even look at me."No.""It's still bleeding.""I said no."His voice wasn't loud. It was flat.I sighed."If you don't stop the bleeding, you'll lose more blood than necessary."His eyes finally lifted to mine. "Treat your own wounds first." I looked down at the cuts running across my

The explosion...

**Two Weeks Later**Malachi's PovBeautiful.There was something strangely beautiful about silence before destruction.I stood atop a stack of weathered shipping containers overlooking the enormous cargo depot that had made me millions over the years. My hands rested lazily on the rusted railing.Rows of towering containers stretched across the yard like a maze. Cargo trucks stood parked in neat lines while cranes loomed overhead. To anyone else, this looked like an ordinary shipping yard.To me...It was a theater. And today's performance had only one audience.Luis Renz.I couldn't stop smiling as his black figure walked through the entrance exactly as instructed.Alone.I chuckled."A good boy after all."Why wouldn't he obey?After receiving the little video I sent him with his precious family tied up... bleeding... terrified...How could he possibly refuse?Besides, even if he'd wanted to bring an army, it wouldn't have mattered. No one could enter this depot without my knowledge

The last lead : ROMAN

Marco's PovSmoke escaped slowly from my lips as I stared into the endless darkness surrounding our compound.It had been two weeks. Two long weeks since everything fell apart. The hideout was quieter than ever. My men stood guard around the building while the others remained inside. No one joked anymore. No one laughed.Not after what Malachi had done.I took another drag from the cigarette, my thoughts drifting back to the video he had sent.Nyx...Camila...The little girl...They were tied to chairs, bruised and bleeding while Malachi laughed behind the camera. Every time I remembered their faces, my chest tightened.Then there was Renz.He had become someone else. He barely spoke. Barely slept. He answered only when necessary, and even then, his voice carried nothing but cold silence. Everyone knew he was trying to hold himself together so no one dared stand in its path.Even Bronco kept his distance. Everyone did. And every time I looked at him ...I heard his voice in my head .

A risk worth taking

He then stepped aside, I walked into the house, but before I had taken two steps, the door shut almost immediately behind me. The sound echoed louder than it should have.My eyes wandered around the room.The place was small but neat.Nothing about it suggested the man living here had once worked for one of the most feared criminals in Italy.Then my eyes caught them.A woman sat on the old sofa, patiently feeding a little boy who couldn't have been older than four. The child laughed softly at something she whispered.I blinked.Roman... had a family?That was new.He noticed where I was looking and sighed."How did you find me?" he asked. His voice wasn't curious. It was cold.I shrugged lightly. "Some things just happen." His expression didn't change."No."He took a slow step toward me."They don't. So I'll ask again." He said narrowing his eyes."How...""...did you find me?"The room suddenly felt much smaller. "That's not important right now.""Were you followed. You know Malac

A fatal gamble!

The drive back to the estate was painfully quiet.The engine hummed through the empty road while none of us found the strength to speak. Roman sat beside me in complete silence. His wife remained at the back with their little boy asleep against her shoulder, one hand gently stroking the child's hair as though reassuring herself he was still there.I kept my eyes on the road. Trusting Roman was already a dangerous gamble. Bringing him into our hideout...That was an even bigger one.If he truly meant every word he had said...Then today might become the turning point of this war. But if he was lying...and this was another one of Malachi's games...Then I had just handed our location to the enemy.And this time...Renz would never forgive me. The thought stayed with me until the familiar gates finally appeared ahead. The guards recognized my car almost immediately...as the heavy iron gates slid open.Roman watched them carefully before looking farther into the estate."So..." His voice wa

The trap within the Trap

Roman's PovLast night had been long. Sleep never came.Every time I closed my eyes, I found myself back in that dining hall, watching Luis Renz quietly listen while I explained the only weakness I believed Malachi still had.His pride.It had been years since I'd last stood before Renz.Back then, he was already a dangerous man. Now...He felt different. Broad shoulders, more tattoos...he looked larger than I remembered with the same terrifying calm...Only heavier now.Like a man who had buried too much of himself and learned to live with what remained.. I walked straight into the Shadow King's hideout and he listened to what I had to say, A few questions were past, doubt, Renz tested every word I'd said......then accepted my suggestion. He was risking everything on information coming from a former enemy.That...That was something Malachi could never do. Malachi rules with fear. Renz rules with trust and maybe that is why men kept choosing him. I owed Renz nothing. He didn't even

A perfect switch

Then came the beep.The sharp sound echoed across the depot, and every muscle in my body locked.It had begun.Marco slowly lowered the binoculars and exhaled."It's time."Out in the open, Renz reacted exactly as we'd planned. He bolted toward the black SUV without hesitation. His hand grabbed the handle and pulled. He knew it was locked, but he kept pulling.His fist slammed hard against the reinforced window a couple times but the glass refused to give way."Damn..." I muttered under my breath. For a split second...Even I forgot it was an act. Renz looked completely broken. He leaned close to the window, resting one hand against the glass as his lips moved. Whatever he whispered was clearly meant only for her.We both couldn't hear a word. But somehow... It didn't feel rehearsed. Marco shook his head with the faintest grin."Someone give that man an Oscar." A quiet chuckle escaped me. "He deserves two."We couldn't move yet. Not while Malachi was still scanning the yard. Renz sud
