E L A R A Julian Hartmann. The name alone would make my father's jaw clench. Our families had been enemies for as long as I could remember, something about my grandfather and his, a business deal that collapsed and a friendship that never recovered. I don't know. The details are fuzzy, but the hatred was very clear. If I wanted someone Father couldn't control, someone powerful enough to protect me, someone Father would hate... I know it's insane. Completely insane.

“You’re such a fucking asshole.” “Yeah, I guess that does make me an asshole. What do you gain by killing me?” “A man that leaves an enemy behind, is a man that constantly looks over his shoulder for the next attack. You’re the enemy now, Jefferson, even if I wanted to let you live, the men upstairs would never let you leave. They take betrayal personally, and I’m part of their family. We’ve spilled blood for each other, broken bread and bled for each other. It’s not something I can explain to you, because you don’t know what it means to be loyal to someone no matter what.”

The heavens and those who lived there were fucking with me in ways I thought I would never experience again. I closed my eyes for a brief moment, then I followed the means of my possible destruction, my damnation. An innocent that I was going to taint. Stain in colors so irreversibly murky it would take those same gods to deliver their little lamb from the hell he would come to know. Will this cycle ever end?

I no longer wanted only to heal. I wanted to destroy. I shifted back. Not because I was weak, but because I wanted to see Kian’s face when he realized I was the last thing he would ever see in this life. I stood naked in the snow, yet felt no cold. Ancient light surrounded my body, my hair streaming silver-white in the wind. “I am not yours, Kian.” My voice was no longer human, but the thunder of a millennia-old entity. “I never was.”

NICO The flight back to Naples was a blur. I stared out the window at the endless blue, willing it to swallow me whole. But the plane touched down anyway, depositing me into the viper’s nest I'd fled not so long ago. The estate loomed at the end of the driveway—Giuseppe's kingdom, built on blood and betrayal. And now, mine to inherit. Today’s events are gonna piss me off, I’m sure of that. The gravel crunched under my boot as I stepped back, the enforcers flanking me instantly. Their eyes said what their mouths couldn't—the prodigal son.

He bellowed, his lips turned downwards in anger, "You dare pick this woman over me? Over my empire and mansion? And then you dreamt of living a free life? Huh?" He scoffed, his eyes wide with rage, "Well, now I'm going to grant you the wish you've so much longed for, I'm going to allow the both of you to be free in the underworld," He said, his words dripping heavily with the wrath that had settled in his heart, "What would you have us do?" Pascal's voice rang from behind me as he spoke, his voice heavy with determination,

She knew that Nathan was really in love with her as he claimed. She let out a loud sigh of frustration and asked, "Until when will he avoid her?" The fact that she developed feelings of envy towards the new girl, whose name she learned was Chloe just the other day, must cause him to feel a great deal of disappointment in her. She could remember that Tiger would get envious simply because they were holding hands, but now Tiger had to see her with Nathan, and it wasn't even the first time; this is just one more reason why he must be extremely upset with her.

Then again, when he has so many kingdom officials attending his orgies, it's not surprising that he's been allowed to continue to abuse his financial power. I just couldn't look the other way today, and let someone like him take her. This girl named Euroah... Her piercing blue eyes were so desperate for a way out of there. The only way to save her was to buy her for myself. It's just a shame that she's now at my mercy. I'm not a good man either. And there's something about her that I just can't get out of my mind, no matter how I do try. She's so innocent and pure, but there's a fire, an anger burning inside her heart.
