LET'S PLAY A GAME

Reed noticed. He shot me a glare and leaned over slightly to speak.“Boss, it’s been a long day and you look like you need a distraction. Go upstairs and clear your head.”I glanced at him and he raised an eyebrow, this sarcastic bastard. “And she’s hot too.” He added.Chloe leaned closer, her lips near my ear. “I can make you feel good,” she whispered. “No strings. Just pleasure, let me take care of you tonight.”I stared at my glass for a long moment, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.Then I stood up.“VIP room,” I said to her.Her eyes lit up and she followed me without hesitation, practically vibrating with happiness at being chosen by Kai Valentino.We took the private elevator up. The moment the doors closed, she pressed herself against me, her hands sliding over my chest. I let her. When we reached the VIP suite, I pushed her inside and closed the door behind us.She turned to me with a seductive smile, already reaching for the zipper of her dress.“Tell m

GET ON YOUR KNEES

She obeyed instantly.Chloe sank to her knees in front of me with a pleased, almost reverent smile. Her dark hair fell over one shoulder as she looked up at me with wide, eager eyes, lips already parted in anticipation. The dim lighting cast soft shadows across her face, highlighting the flush on her cheeks and the way her chest rose and fell with excitement.“Tell me what you want,” she whispered again, her hands sliding up my thighs.I looked down at her. She looked skilled, the kind of woman who knew exactly how to make a man feel like a king for a few hours.But all I felt was a hollow ache.“Open your mouth,” I said, my voice low and commanding.Her breath hitched. She licked her lips once, then opened for me obediently, tongue sliding out just enough to tease. Her hands moved to work my belt, unbuckling it slowly, deliberately, like she wanted to savor every second. The zipper came down with a quiet rasp. She freed me and her eyes widened at the size of my length which was alrea

THE TRAITOR IS VOSS

The traitor was Lieutenant Voss.It took less than four hours to confirm it.Reed had narrowed it down to three possibilities by morning. By lunch, I knew it was Voss. Six years of loyal service, and the man had sold us out to the Moretti family for a bigger cut and a promise of power. The evidence was clean. Unmistakable.I handled it personally because betrayal this close to the inner circle was dealt with quietly, in the soundproofed room beneath the east wing of the mansion.Voss sat tied to a chair in the middle of the room when I walked in, the basement room smelled of concrete and blood. Sweat dripped down his face and eyes wide with terror. Six years this man had worked for me. Six years of loyalty, or so I had thought.I stood in front of him, sleeves rolled up, hands still clean for now.“You fed the Moretti’s information about the Cheng shipment, and tried to get rid of us.” I said quietly with no anger in my voice for now. “You thought they would protect you right? You wer

A DIVORCED ROSSI GIRL

The next morning came too quickly.I was in my study reviewing overnight reports when Reed knocked once and entered without waiting for an answer. His face was carefully neutral, which usually meant bad news.“Your father is here,” he said. “He’s waiting in the main reception room. He didn’t ask or book an appointment, he just showed up.”I leaned back in my chair, jaw tightening. Victor Valentino rarely visited unannounced. When he did, it was never for pleasant conversation.“Tell him I’ll be down in five minutes,” I said.Reed hesitated. “He already knows about Hazel, word travels fast in our circle and He’s not happy, Sir.”Of course he wasn’t. “I know that, Reed.”I finished my coffee and went downstairs.Victor stood near the tall windows in the main reception room, hands clasped behind his back, looking out over the grounds like he still owned every inch of them. He was in his late sixties but carried himself like a man twenty years younger. Sharp suit. Sharper eyes. The same c

OVERHEARD

I had been hiding in the study since early morning.Not literally hiding. Working. Or at least that was what I kept telling myself as I sat at the large oak desk surrounded by papers, sketches, and my laptop. Going through supplier lists, lease proposals and menu concepts. I had been on the phone for hours, speaking to the third supplier that cancelled on me two days ago. I had managed to convince Mr Feen, Ms Hathley and Mr Dominique to reconsider and think of my offer. Convincing those three to get on my side wasn’t quite simple but wasn’t extremely difficult like getting Mr Laurent to reconsider. That man was a very hard nut to crack.“Mr. Laurent, please listen,” I said, keeping my voice calm and professional even though my nerves were frayed. “I understand there have been concerns, but I’m not asking for favors. I’m offering a long-term partnership. My lounge will cater to the exact clientele you want– discreet, high-spending, influential. You won’t find a better venue in the cit

WHAT SHE HEARD

I stood in the doorway of Kai’s study, my heart still racing from everything I had just overheard. My legs felt a little shaky as I took one small step inside the room. The air felt heavier in here, like the conversation between Kai and his father had left something behind that still hung in the space between us.Victor’s cold words about me being “damaged goods.” Kai defending me without hesitation. The raw pain in Victor’s voice when he spoke about Kai’s mother.I couldn’t pretend I hadn’t heard any of it.Kai turned from the window. His shoulders were tense, his dark eyes meeting mine. For the first time since I had come to this house, he looked caught off guard. Almost… vulnerable.“Kai…” I said softly, taking one more step into the room.He didn’t speak at first. He just watched me, waiting, like he was bracing himself for whatever I was going to say next.“I heard everything,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “Your father… what he said about me. And then… what he said

SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER'S DEATH

“I know what really happened to Elena Rossi. We need to talk. Alone.” I stared at the screen for a long moment, the words blurring slightly as shock rippled through me. This was the same number that had texted me two days ago about my mother. I had believed my mother died in a car accident so why did this number keep texting that they knew what really happened to Elena. Kai noticed immediately. His voice was low, sharp with concern. “What is it?” I turned the phone toward him so he could read it. My hand was still trembling. He read the message once. Then again. His expression changed–the heat from moments ago vanished, replaced by something cold and dangerous. “Elena Rossi,” he said quietly like he was tasting the name. “Your mother?” I nodded, swallowing hard. “Someone knows something. They want to meet me alone.” Kai’s jaw tightened. He took the phone from my hand gently but firmly, reading the message one more time as if he could pull more information from the word

THE WEIGHT OF LOSING HER

~~Kai’s POV~~I followed right behind Hazel as she stormed out of Miss Maria’s apartment. Her eyes were burning with fury as she walked towards the car, not looking back for a second. The news about her mother’s death might have had a toll on her.Reed was following behind me as we headed to the car. “Do you want me to do anything, Boss.” he asked. I stopped right in front of the back seat door and turned to him. “Find out everything about this Lawyer and his relations to the Rossi family.” I ordered.“Yes Boss.” Reed replied.Hazel had already slipped into the car, so I joined her on the other side. Her head was resting on the car door, her eyes closed and her chest heaving softly. The car ride back to the mansion was silent.I sat in the back seat beside Hazel, my body still buzzing from the tension of the evening. The old woman’s words kept repeating in my head. “Elena had been trying to leave but someone had stopped her.” The photograph of her mother with the lawyer burned in my

AWAKE

~~Hazel's POV~~I woke up slowly, my body heavy and my mind still foggy, like I was swimming up from somewhere very deep. The first thing I noticed was the softness of the bed I laid in, I looked around and I noticed I was in my room.I couldn’t remember much of what happened last night or how l got in bed. My body felt weak like l had been beaten, I shifted slightly on the bed and I noticed a head resting right near my hand.Kai.He was asleep, his dark hair slightly messy, his face relaxed in a way I had never seen before. One of his hands was loosely holding mine, like he had fallen asleep while watching over me. The sight of him there–this powerful, arrogant man who had carried me into his home against my will sleeping beside my bed made something tight and confusing twist in my chest.I didn’t pull my hand away.Instead, I lifted my other hand and gently brushed my fingers through his hair. It was softer than I expected. He stirred almost immediately, eyes snapping open with that

WAR WITH THE RIVALS

~~Kai's POV~~I left Hazel’s room with a heavy feeling in my chest.She had looked so small lying there, still pale from passing out in the car. I wanted to stay, every part of me wanted to sit beside her bed until she woke up again. But the Sullivans were pushing, and if I let them think I was distracted, they would keep pushing harder.One of my men named Marco was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs with four of my other men, Marco was my second hand man after Reed. Since Reed had already left with six of my best men, we were the ones left to catch up with them. They were already dressed for work–dark clothes, no unnecessary weapons visible. Marco handed me my jacket without a word.“Ready?” he asked.I nodded once. “Let’s go.”We drove in two cars, moving fast through the city streets. The target was one of the Sullivans’ main storage warehouses near the river. They had hit two of ours in the last week and tonight, we were returning the favor.The warehouse was quiet when w
