Breaking The Cardinal Rule Novels & Stories

I nodded, headed back to the diner so that I could sit. There and then, I continued with my meal. Not knowing what to expect, but what was the worst thing that could happen? I wondered for the first time with a shake of my head—waiting patiently for the moment when many news and rules will be broken to me. “Oh no.” I didn't like the sound of this. Not one moment. But what choice did I have?

It was stupid but we’d been rolling the dies for hours and each of us had accrued some debt. Normally, it would make more sense if we had to pay the person who made the sixes but Thea had made up the rules and thought it’d be more fun. Charlie on the other hand had forgotten the rules of the game because she was so f*cking wasted. “Oh My God. My tummy hurts.” My temples were wet with tears. Everything felt right again. “Since I’m the only one who isn’t drunk right now, I’ll calculate our debts.” I picked up the board where I’d recorded everything.

He listed so many rules, and I agreed to all of them until he mentioned the disturbing part. “Rule 8: You mustn't have any romantic affection for your employer.” Professor Sander said, and I gasped. “But…” I wanted to say, but I trailed off. If I argued, I might give off my secret of being in love with him for so long, so I gave up. “Ok”, I replied. I wouldn't need to argue because we both would be breaking that rule in a few days. ‘Too bad, Professor; I already broke that rule a long time ago, and you are going to be breaking it too very soon.’ I mulled in my head as I watched him lay out more rules while I fantasized about him in my head.

Don’t put yourself in that position. Rule Four: Never unblock his number. But in the space of two weeks, all my rules were crumbling.... Rule One was broken the moment he bought my company and right now, just being here with him in this room was proof of that. Rule Two broke this afternoon…hell, a few minutes ago. Rule Three? Gone too.its just dust in the wind at this point Because Marcel lifted his hips, and his cock brushed against my folds. Heat shot through me, a moan caught at the back of my throat. My body betrayed every rule I’d ever made.

I paused for a bit, looking to see if he was following what I said. “Yes, I did, sire.” “If that is so, then I do not need to enlighten you further on the rules you were fully aware of. You broke that sacred oath the moment you laid with the woman I was engaged to. You realize I could pronounce capital punishment on you right this very minute.” I didn’t need to speak further before I got what I needed from him. Roy might be a muscular man on the outside, but from within, he is nowhere as tough as Kara. He broke down way earlier than I expected him to.

“But remember the Cardinal’s Rule, fuckboy: ‘Don’t blow the bomb without a bomb suit.’ Even if you get the hacienda, another Montecielo will inherit it. You’ll still lose to Don Amado’s child if it comes to that.” Rael just shook his head, laughing. Cardinal’s Rule. That was their rule: Ricaforte men didn’t screw women without a condom. Too risky. They all avoided attachments. But if his two cousins knew Matthew’s plan to acquire Hacienda Montecielo, they would definitely bet millions on it—and Matthew would still come out on top. Wait and see, Lady in Red.

He again ordered the man to turn on the engine on the tube Theo was currently in so that it would be polluted with carbon monoxide. "You can't do this." Theo had already warned his turn, successfully stopping the man who was about to press the power button. The words at the beginning were just bait, there was no way he was going to let Bouldog hurt the Oracle. "I hold your red card, Aledo. You've broken the agreement you made before entering the organization, is that right?" Theo asked casually. Every profession has its own code of ethics. Just like a mafia, there are some rules that cannot be ignored.

Emma poured him some wine, I watched the liquor being gulped. With a finger snap, Ricardo, one of the guards came forward with a black note. Black notes meant Rules and Punishments attached. I stood up with the little strength left, balancing my feeble limbs on the smooth floor surface, my hands massaging my chin to relieve the slap effect. "For having broken two rules-" He read but I cut him off rudely. "I only broke one rule and that's visiting the outside world," I corrected him, my eyes on Eric. What other rule did I break? Deep down, my heart palpitated furiously against my chest. The thought of having committed another crime without knowing made me quaver, visible goosebumps surfaced m

Ignazio or the witch Ivan mentioned maybe both obviously don’t care about the sanctity of life. They would use their weakest as fodder. Only one of them stood out, the wolf near the front. Cardinal growled. He’s a rogue. We’ve dealt with too many rogues in our life to tolerate them. And he was trying to signal someone. Maybe the three Collin took down. But he was tapping his front paw in a way that was obviously a code. Not wanting to risk that code being for some unseen force, I took him down, breaking cover. That rogue is lucky André stepped in. I wouldn’t have hesitated to take him out.

I stood straighter. "It is with my deepest regret to inform you all, that someone among us, has broken a rule so precious to us, that they may as well become rogue right now or lay down their neck for slaughter! Someone has broken the accords, that we shall not trespass! That we shall not put our pack in danger! And more importantly, that we shall not kill unless it is to protect our home!" Gasps and whispers filled the crowd, and I watched the way Elijah grew ghostly pale. It took everything I had to tear my eyes away, to act like I didn't see.
