The Bait
Adrian stood in the dimly lit command center, arms crossed, staring at the live feeds with cold calculation. The exhaustion from the night before still clung to him, but rage had burned most of it away. Marcus stood beside him,with his tablet in his hand, while the two princes watched silently from the background.A small, dangerous smile curved Adrian’s lips.“Oh… he has taken the bait,” he murmured. “Should we call him now?”Marcus nodded once. “The line is ready. He won’t be able to trace it.”Adrian’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Do it.”……Vincent Lu was lounging in a mid-tier hotel suite, counting the last of his dwindling cash on the bed. The expensive necklace for Catherine sat in its box beside him. He was already imagining how he would present it … smooth words, a charming smile, a few well-placed compliments. She would melt. Rich women always did.His burner phone rang.An unknown number.Vincent frowned, staring at the screen. He didn’t recognize it. He cut the call immed
Vincent’s New Target
Vincent Lu stepped out of the high-end jewelry boutique with a satisfied smirk, a small, elegantly wrapped box tucked securely under his arm. The piece inside … a stunning diamond necklace with a central stone worth more than most people’s yearly salary … had cost him a small fortune. But it was worth every penny.He walked down the quiet upscale street, the evening lights reflecting off the polished windows of luxury stores. His reflection in one of the glass panes looked sharp: new suit, styled hair, the confident stride of a man who believed he was back on top.He pulled out his phone and opened the banking app. The balance stared back at him … painfully low. The money he had drained from Victoria was almost gone. A few more days of this lifestyle and he’d be scraping the bottom again.But thankfully, he had spotted her before that happened.Catherine Harrington.The elegant, powerful, ice-cold matriarch of the Harrington family. One of the Five Families. Technology queen. Untoucha
No Regrets
Sophia sat with her back against the cold concrete wall, with her darkened knees drawn up to her chest. The basement holding room was dim and oppressive, the single flickering bulb overhead doing little to chase away the shadows. The air was thick with the smell of fear, sweat, and despair. Around her, dozens of girls huddled in various states of brokenness … some crying quietly, others staring blankly into nothingness.She tried not to think about how badly things had gone.Not long ago, she had been so happy. Breakfast with Adrian. The soft peck on her lips. The excitement of the Duchamp banquet. The feeling of being cherished, protected, and truly seen for the first time in years. She had forgotten how cruel life could be. How quickly joy could be ripped away.She knew being with someone as strong as Adrian no matter how he tried to hide it, would bring complications. Danger. Enemies in the shadows. But she had chosen him anyway. Willingly and with her whole heart .And she wouldn’
Twisted Desire
In the opulent underground bunker beneath one of the Harrington family’s private estates, Catherine sat at the head of a long glass table, legs crossed elegantly. The room was dimly lit, filled with the low hum of monitors and the scent of expensive wine.Marcus Sterling, one of the Five Families’ most powerful members, stared at her with a mixture of disbelief and disgust.“You know,” he said slowly, swirling his whiskey, “I never understand what goes on in that head of yours. Is it just that danger turns you on, or what?”Catherine smiled, a slow, predatory curve of her lips.Marcus leaned forward. “Whatever do you want with a man that will literally slit your throat the moment you turn your back? I mean, you literally sold his woman. And you want him in your bed?”Catherine’s smile widened, her eyes gleaming with dark excitement.“That is just what makes the sex more pleasurable,” she purred. “The thrill of knowing he could kill me at any second… the power struggle… the moment when
The Video
Adrian pushed open the door to the suite, his body running on nothing but pure willpower. Every step felt like walking through quicksand. His shoulders were slumped, his eyes bloodshot, clothes stained with dirt and sweat from the failed raid. He had torn through three Black Lotus safe houses tonight, leaving bodies and destruction in his wake, but Sophia wasn’t there.He was almost dead on his feet.The moment the door clicked shut, two figures moved forward from the living room … Crown Prince Alexander and Prince Lucien. They had refused to leave, staying behind to guard the suite and coordinate from the command center while Adrian hunted in the field.“Adrian!” Alexander reached him first, catching him as his knees buckled.Lucien grabbed the other side. Together, the two princes held him upright, supporting his weight between them.“You look like hell,” Lucien muttered, voice tight with worry. “Come on, you need to eat something.”Adrian tried to pull away. “No time… I have to…”“
Something Big Came Up
Diego Vargas’s POVI waited until Adrian’s taillights disappeared into the night before I finally exhaled. My hands were still shaking a little. I hadn’t felt fear like that in years.The Pit was still buzzing when I stepped back inside, but the energy had changed. People were whispering. Word traveled fast in our world … Mr. X had shown his face. The devil was awake.I needed a drink. Badly.I walked to the bar and ordered a double whiskey, neat. The bartender poured it without a word, sliding the glass over like he could sense the storm coming. I downed half of it in one go, letting the burn settle my nerves, then carried the rest to the back booth where my usual crew was waiting … Rocco, Scarface, and a couple of younger guys who still thought they were tough.They looked up as I sat down. Rocco raised an eyebrow.“You look like you saw a ghost, boss.”I took another long sip, then set the glass down hard.“Something big came up, boys.”Rocco leaned forward. “What is it that has yo
