Trouble on the line

The door hadn’t even clicked shut before my mother crushed me in her arms. No warning, no space. Just her perfume flooding me, her voice shaking as she whispered, “My boy… my son… do you know how long it’s been?” Her hands wouldn’t stop moving—over my face, through my hair, patting my chest like she needed to check if I was real. Then came the tears. Damn. I froze, stiff as stone. The great Luis Renz, undone by his mother’s tears. And then my father stepped in. Not as messy. He pulled me into a hard one-armed hug and said over her shoulder, “Let him go. He’s not a boy anymore. Respect the man he’s become.” If only I felt like that man right now. In her grip, I felt twelve again, hiding cigarettes behind my back. I forced myself free, straightened my jacket, and asked the question already chewing at me. “Why are you here?” My mother just smiled through her tears, shaking her head like I’d just told her a joke. “Why? To see my son. Or have you forgotten your birthday again, Lore

The taste of home

Nyx’s POVThe park was buzzing with laughter, balloons tugging against strings, and the sweet smell of roasted corn hanging in the air. Camila had just thrown her cap high into the air hours ago, and now here we were—her, Mom, Dad, me, and Rynna—celebrating like a perfect little family. For a moment, it almost felt real. Almost.I excused myself to grab the cake from the car, It couldn’t have been more than five minutes. But when I returned, the picture had shifted. Camila was on the phone a little distance away. Mom and Dad were busy setting up the food.But Rynna—my heart seized— she wasn’t there.“Where’s Rynna?” My voice came out sharp, higher than I meant.Mom straightened, blinking. “Wasn’t she with you?”Dad frowned, scanning the crowd. “We thought she followed you, Nyx.”The ground tilted beneath me. I didn’t wait to hear another word—I bolted. My eyes swept through strangers’ faces, my chest tight. My voice tore through the noise of the park. “Rynna! Rynna!”People turned,

Lights, Roses, and Secrets

Saying goodbye never came easy. Rynna clung to me like her small hands could hold me there forever. She almost made a scene, eyes brimming, lips trembling. But then she sighed, nodded, and whispered, “Go, mummy.” Brave little thing. My heart cracked and healed in the same breath.By the time I got home, I was starving for Renz—his voice, his scent, that reckless confidence he wore like armor. But when I opened the door, I stepped into dim light, the house was quiet… too quiet.Then I saw it.A trail of candles, flickering soft and golden, leading up the stairs. My lips curved without my permission. Renz wasn’t usually the type for fairy tales, but when he tried… he rewrote them.I followed, every step careful, my heart beating against my ribs. The candles pulled me to my room. And when I pushed the door open—chills spread across my skin.The place was transformed.Luxurious, glowing, too beautiful to feel real. Roses scattered, silks draped, light bending off crystal glass like stars.

Watch your tongue, Lorenz!

We walked in, the heavy doors closing behind us, and the room instantly tightened around me. A square table stretched out in the middle, crowded with delicacies I could hardly name. Renz guided me forward, his hand brushing mine under the tablecloth before he cleared his throat.“This is my fiancee,” he said, gesturing toward me. His tone was steady, almost too steady. Then he turned to them. “And these are my parents.”The word parents made my chest tighten.I leaned forward, forcing a polite smile. “I’m Celina Nyx Gomes. It’s really nice to meet you, ma’am.”His mother took my hand gently, wrapping it in both of hers. Her touch was warm, soft, and a little shaky. “It’s lovely to meet you, dear,” she said with a kind smile.His father only gave a curt nod.The silence dragged on, heavy and awkward, until his mother finally broke it. "Come, let’s eat before the food gets cold."So we all started eating, forks scraping plates louder than they should have. I barely tasted anything. Then

Love at the shore

Camila's PovThe house was too quiet, save for the hum of my laptop. I had been searching all morning, scrolling through endless listings—offices, apartments, numbers that made no sense. Everything was either too expensive, too small, or just not what I wanted.Staying with our parents had started to feel… strange, like we were living in a house where the air was too thin. Thankfully, Rynna was here, her small footsteps and sharp tongue keeping me sane. She was only a child, but the way she carried herself… I couldn’t blame her. Life hadn’t been easy for her—that much was clear.I was mid-way through frowning at another overpriced listing when my phone buzzed. Nyx. My lips curled before I even answered.“Hello, sis,” her voice came through warm, lighter than I'd expected.“Hey you,” I smiled. “How’s home? Did he treat you well after leaving me in this chaos?”She laughed softly, and there was something in it, something glowing. “You won’t believe it. He decorated my whole room. Candle

The other face

Marco's PovJust so you know, Renz wasn’t only my boss. He was my brother—the only family I had left in this messed-up world. His birthday wasn’t just a date on the calendar—it was a promise. A reminder that no matter what, I’d stand by him. The first time I met him was on his birthday, years ago. I was a wreck then—trapped in the streets, hunted by gamblers who wanted my life over debts I couldn’t pay. Then he showed up out of nowhere. He didn’t just save my life—he gave me a place at his side. From that night on, I swore I’d never leave him.The week had been rough—endless meetings with partners and investors, plus Renz planning an expansion in Mexico. He trusted me to run Basque, our headquarters, and I handled it without a word of complaint. But Thursday? That morning, I handed the keys to Thomas, one of my most loyal men. Nothing, not even the weight of the club, would make me miss my brother’s night. By noon, I was in Renz’s suite, watching him frown at the mountain of clothe

The boy who killed

Nyx’s POVIt had been hours of circling shops, boutiques, and malls, and still—nothing. What do you give a man who already has the world? That question clung to me like smoke. Renz didn’t just have money, he had everything. Cars, watches, clothes, cigars, guns… things most men only dreamed of.Camila wasn’t helping. “You can get him cufflinks,” she suggested, tugging at my arm as we passed the jewelry counter. “Or maybe a new cologne. Wait—what about a car keychain? A limited edition—”I cut her off with a dry laugh. “Cam, he owns five cars in this city alone. You think a keychain will thrill him?”She raised her hands in surrender, lips curving in mock defeat. “Fine. Then maybe a gun? A man like him would need that, right?”I stopped walking and gave her the look. She knew exactly what it meant. She sighed, shaking her head. “Honestly, sis, you know him more than I do,” she admitted softly. “I mean, you’re with him every day. You see what makes him smile, what he reaches for when

A gift that tells the truth

The moment we stepped into his room, Renz’s phone rang. He muttered a curse under his breath before answering. While he stepped aside, I slipped out to fetch the gift I’d hidden earlier. Camila was gone—probably by the shore—so I grabbed the two boxes and hurried back before he finished his call.He hung up just as I closed the door. His eyes went straight to my hands, and that sly smirk of his curved his lips. “It’s about time you showed your face at the party,” I teased.He tilted his head, moving toward me with that slow, confident stride. “And if I say no?”Before I could react, he slid behind me, arms locking around my waist, his breath brushing my ear.“Renz…” I whispered, fighting the shiver that rushed down my spine.“You know I hate those parties,” he murmured, tightening his grip.I forced a laugh, slipping free. “Too bad. You’re the man of the night—you don’t get to hide.”His smirk deepened, but I used the chance to press the boxes into his hands.“Happy birthday, Renz,”

Unwanted guests

Renz's POVThe place looked flawless—it had my mother’s touch all over it, no doubt. Every detail was polished, almost too perfect. And yet, none of it calmed me. My chest tightened at the thought of my family gathered in one place. Too many faces, too many chances for something to go wrong.But then I remembered—Marco was out there. Watching. Guarding. If anyone dared, Marco would see it first. That thought steadied me, if only a little.The only thing that mattered was standing just outside the building. Nyx.She looked different tonight—hair styled in a way that framed her face perfectly. She looked beautiful. Too beautiful to be mine. Yet she was. And seeing her there, waiting… God, it felt like she was waiting for me.“Why are you out here?” I asked, closing the distance. Without thinking, I pulled her into my arms. She melted into me, and just for that moment, I could breathe.“I missed you,” I whispered against her ear.“I missed you too, Renz,” she whispered back.I led her up

Love like a loaded gun

I didn’t bother with small talk.I looked at Nyx, then at Leonard, and spoke straight. “This is my brother,” I said, placing a hand on Leonard’s shoulder. Then I turned back to Nyx, my voice steady. “And this… is my fiancée.” For a second, it felt like the whole noise stopped. Nyx’s eyes went wide, shock written all over her face. “Renz… can we talk?” I patted Nyx’s hand once, then stepped aside with him. The moment we were out of earshot, Leonard’s tone turned sharp. “You didn’t get my message? Renz, what the hell are you doing?” I smirked. “Relax brother. Everything you think is wrong. Leonard narrowed his eyes, clearly not buying it. "Nyx isn’t who you think she is. And about the rumor—you can forget it. Ricardo, the mastermind, is dead. Gone. Anyone chasing vengeance will have to come through me first." He stared at me, searching for cracks in my words. I gave him none. “I’m serious,” I told him. “I wouldn’t take chances, not after striking my enemies. “I’ve got everyth
