The man in the suit put the phone down, folded his hands, and smiled like a man who enjoyed the last piece falling into place.

“Then it’s time we met him,” he said aloud to no one.

His assistant hovered, waiting. “Shall I inform the board?” she asked.

He shook his head. “No board. This is personal. Call Salazar. Tell him to clear his flights. Get me three men who know how to make a corpse look accidental. And bring me those files — the ones marked Deluca.”

She moved like a shadow. “At once.”

He stood and walked to the window. Beyond the glass the city spread, indifferent. He tapped a pen against the sill and the smile faded; his face smoothed into a mask of planning.

“Antonio Deluca,” he murmured. “Show me what you do when you think you’re king.”

-----

Antonio sat at the kitchen table with a cigarette in his hand. Dawn bled through the blinds. The house smelled of smoke, whiskey, and old leather. He hadn’t slept. No one had. The men moved like ghosts in the rooms — cleaning, burning,

  • THE BLOW-UP

    Antonio had barely gotten the first sentence out before Celeste’s patience finally snapped.“Before New York?” she repeated, her voice shaking with the kind of anger that had been building since the instant her passport was flagged in Heathrow. “You’re starting from ‘before New York’ when I’ve been dragged across borders, detained, questioned, embarrassed, and now told to stand outside like a stray?”Amber’s lips curved. Not kindly. “If the shoe fits.”Celeste turned slowly toward her.Xavier muttered, “Amber—”“Don’t ‘Amber’ me,” she cut in, eyes fixed on Celeste. “I’ve watched this woman circle Antonio like a shadow for months. Every time trouble touches him, somehow she’s in the picture. You want me to act blind now?”Celeste didn’t laugh—she scoffed. “You think I enjoy being anywhere near him? You think I flew across the world because I like being part of your little drama-filled circle?”“This is not a circle,” Amber said sharply. “This is my estate. My security. My responsibilit

  • Distractions

    “Sir, something’s happening at the east entrance. You need to see this now.”The guard’s voice cut through the hallway like a blade. Xavier didn’t move at first; his eyes stayed locked on Antonio, who still looked like a man hanging onto the last thread of patience he had left. But the urgency in the guard’s face made Xavier shift.Amber pushed past the guard before Xavier could respond. “What now?” Her irritation sharpened every word. “Your estate is turning into a circus, Xavier.”Xavier followed her, and Antonio trailed behind them despite the earlier warning not to move. No one addressed him; the tension had become its own breathing thing.They turned the corner toward the east entrance—then everything snapped into focus.Celeste.Standing outside the gate like a storm that had found legs.She wasn’t just arguing with the guards; she was practically ready to tear the gate off the hinges if that’s what it took to get inside. Her voice was raised, firm, unfiltered—demanding that the

  • Say It With Your Chest

    Amber’s heels hit the marble before Xavier even finished his sentence. A sound that told the room she had heard enough even before stepping inside.Antonio turned slightly as she entered the atrium, but Amber didn’t spare him a glance at first. She looked at Xavier directly like she was confirming something she already knew.Then she finally faced Antonio.Her expression didn’t hold anger. It held precision. A different kind of heat—controlled, intelligent, dangerous.“Good,” Amber said, adjusting the sleeve of her robe like she had walked into a board meeting, not a standoff. “You’re still here. Saves me the trouble of dragging you back.”Antonio straightened. “I didn’t come here for you.”“And yet,” Amber replied, “you’re on my property.”“That wasn’t your problem ten minutes ago,” Antonio snapped. “I just want to see my daughter.”Amber tilted her head. “And I want a world without incompetent men. Look how life disappoints us both.”Antonio’s jaw locked. “Don’t start with—”“I’m no

  • You Don't Get To Demand Anything Here

    Amber’s estate did not welcome unexpected visitors. The gates alone stood like a verdict—silent, fortified, and far from forgiving. Antonio stepped out of the black sedan the moment it stopped, posture rigid, eyes fixed on the security point as though he intended to force his way through by sheer will.He didn’t get the chance because Xavier was already outside. He looked prepared, like someone who had been counting down the minutes to this confrontation.Antonio’s jaw tightened. “Where is she?”Xavier didn’t blink. “Behind a gate you’re not walking through.”Antonio took a step forward, and Xavier raised a hand, not a threat, just a warning. “Don’t test me today.”“I came to see my daughter,” Antonio said, voice lowered, steady. “That’s all.”“You came to confirm the damage you caused without telling me,” Xavier corrected. “And you’re going to start with that.”Antonio let out a breath he’d been holding since New York. “Xavier, I don’t have time for this.”“You will make time,” Xavie

  • Sting Of Betrayal

    Xavier had been pacing the length of Amber’s private study for close to ten minutes before she finally convinced him to sit, but the moment he lowered himself into the chair, he realized stillness did absolutely nothing to soften the storm inside him. If anything, it sharpened everything—every thought, every suspicion, every frustration he had been trying to swallow since the moment his men delivered the information he still wasn’t sure how to process.Teacher was dead, but Antonio hadn’t killed him alone.Antonio had killed him while invoking Xavier’s name, twisting it, leveraging it, weaponizing it as if he had the right to pull Xavier into the line of fire without warning or consent.And Antonio hadn’t even told him.Xavier’s jaw tightened again. He stared at the fireplace as though it were responsible for the insult, but nothing eased the pressure building in his chest.Amber watched him from across the room. She was seated, legs crossed, arms resting lightly on the chair’s polish

  • Nowhere To Be Found

    Amber opened the door before Xavier even knocked. She had perfectly composed hair, robe tied neatly, but her eyes sharp, alert, suspicious. The kind of look she only had when something had gone wrong.And Xavier’s face told her everything before he spoke.She stepped aside. “Just say it.”He walked in without hesitation. He didn’t remove his jacket. He didn’t sit. He stood in the center of the living room like a storm that refused to settle.Amber crossed her arms. “You look like someone lit a match on your last nerve.”“Antonio is missing,” Xavier said.Her expression didn’t change at first. Then her brow lifted slowly. “Missing as in… not answering your calls? Or missing as in he’s doing that thing he does where he pretends he’s the only man alive with responsibilities?”“He vanished,” Xavier said. “Completely. No contact. No update. No explanation.”Amber let out a breath. “And Celeste?”“Also gone.”She blinked. Once. Then twice, slower this time. “Together?”Xavier nodded.Amber
