The smell of disinfectant hung heavy, and the soft rustle of curtains blended with the muted footsteps of nurses outside.

Xavier sat on one side of the bed, elbows on his knees, eyes fixed on his mother’s frail form. Amber stood beside him, her hand occasionally brushing his shoulder for comfort. Martha looked weaker than she had the night before, but there was a strange peace in her face that made Xavier’s chest ache.

Her eyelids fluttered open, and she managed a faint smile when her gaze found her son. “You’re still here,” she whispered, her voice rasping like paper.

Xavier leaned closer, instantly alert. “Of course, I’m here. Where else would I be?”

Martha’s eyes drifted to Amber and softened. “And Amber,” she said slowly, as if savoring the name. “Always by his side. You remind me so much of… of myself when I was your age.”

Amber forced a small smile, fighting the lump in her throat. “Thank you, ma’am. You scared us all yesterday.”

“I scared myself too,” Martha said, her frail lau

  • The Master's Fury

    The echo of Teacher’s voice roared through the marble walls of the private resort, sharp and venomous. “Find her!” he barked, slamming his palm against the glass table. The sound reverberated like a gunshot. “I paid for top-class security, didn’t I? Cameras everywhere, guards at every damn corner, so tell me, how does a grown woman vanish into thin air?!”The manager of the resort trembled, sweat clinging to his temples despite the air conditioning that hummed faintly in the background. “Sir, we… we checked the CCTV footage,” he stuttered, his voice wobbling. “There was no sign of forced entry, no struggle, nothing.”Teacher’s hand shot up mid-sentence, silencing him instantly. “Don’t insult my intelligence,” he hissed. “You think I care about your excuses? I’m not paying you for stories, I’m paying you for results.”The guards stood in rigid silence, their heads bowed. No one dared breathe too loudly. Teacher’s rage was unpredictable. His eyes were cold, calculating, predatory. He ad

  • Storm Is Brewing

    The door clicked shut. The lock’s sound echoed and then the room filled with a heavy quiet. Celeste lay on the bed, wrists tied, eyes sharp and calculating despite the bloodless color in her cheeks. Xavier and Antonio stood a few feet away from her.Celeste cleared her throat and let out a fake laugh. “Oh, this is rich. Is this a movie set? When did the two men who hated each other become friends? Did I miss the memo?”Antonio’s mouth twisted. “Friendship isn’t the word I’d use.”“Then what is it?” she asked, amusement strained into her voice. “A truce? A temporary alliance? You both look like you made a bargain at a funeral.”Xavier didn’t smile. He stepped closer. “We’re bonded by a common enemy. That’s all.”Celeste’s laugh turned brittle. “You mean Teacher. You think he’s the one pulling strings. You want him, then why use me? You should be after him directly."Antonio’s voice was clipped. “Because you’re the easiest way in. You know his routes. You know his people. You know his a

  • The Captive Queen

    Celeste’s head throbbed like she’d been hit with a hammer. The sharp pain pulsed behind her eyes, spreading through her skull until it felt as if her brain was trying to claw its way out. Her tongue was dry and heavy, her throat raw like she’d swallowed sandpaper. When she tried to move, a cold shock ran through her spine, and her wrists and ankles refused to cooperate.Her eyelids fluttered open to the soft gleam of a chandelier above. The ceiling wasn’t familiar, neither were the silk sheets beneath her or the faint smell of vanilla and disinfectant in the air. This wasn’t the resort she’d been in earlier. This wasn’t her suite.Panic crawled up her chest. She jerked against the restraints, her breath quickening. Then she heard a deep, almost amused voice from across the room.“Need some water?”Her eyes darted toward the sound. The man leaned casually against the wall near the minibar, the same male stripper from the night before. Only now, he was dressed differently with no gliste

  • The Fall Of The Queen

    The ocean breeze drifted through the open balcony doors of Celeste’s private suite, she sat in a silk robe, legs crossed, glass of champagne in hand, her laughter echoing faintly as soft music played in the background.“Teacher really outdid himself this time,” she muttered to herself, gazing at the wide stretch of blue. “A private resort, personal guards, and a weekend without chaos. Finally.”A knock at the door. Celeste didn’t bother asking who it was, her guards had already been instructed.“Come in.”The man who entered was tall, muscled, with a teasing smile and eyes that lingered a second too long. He wore a white shirt unbuttoned halfway, black pants hugging his frame.“You must be the entertainment,” Celeste said, her lips curling.“That depends,” the man replied smoothly. “Do you feel entertained yet?”She gave a throaty laugh. “Not yet. But you’re easy on the eyes.”He stepped closer, a bag in hand. “I was told you like surprises.”“Oh, I love surprises,” Celeste said, swir

  • Loyalty For Sale

    “Don’t stand there and talk like you’re the victim, Xavier,” Antonio said finally, his tone sharp but not raised. “You think you were the only one who bled? You think you were the only one betrayed?”Xavier turned to face him, his eyes blazing. “Don’t start that nonsense with me. Every move I took against you was justified. You ruined me, Antonio. I was dragged through the mud. The trolls, the public disgrace, the mockery, you think I forgot?”Antonio tilted his head slightly, his lips curving into something between pity and amusement. “You think I set out to ruin you? Lisa made her choice, that's not on me."“Her Choice?” Xavier laughed bitterly. “Cheating on me with you is what you call choice? Not having the decency to come online and clear my name when I was being ridiculed online is what you call choice? You stood by and watched me crumble. Watched me lose everything, my job, my home, my dignity. Do you have any idea what it feels like to have everything stripped from you and the

  • Men With Bruised Ego

    They had moved to this secluded place for privacy — and maybe because both of them knew they couldn’t afford to be seen together. The last hour had been spent in silence, with Antonio pacing and Xavier thinking.Finally, Xavier broke the quiet.“So,” he said, voice calm but edged. “Now that we know Teacher has eyes on us, what do you suggest we do? How do we move from here? Because like it or not, we’re standing on the same side of the line now against him.”Antonio stopped pacing, turned, and gave a low chuckle that didn’t reach his eyes. “You know, I never thought I’d live to see the day Xavier Lancelot asks me for help.”Xavier’s jaw tensed. “Don’t twist my words.”“Oh, come on,” Antonio said, spreading his arms. “Let me enjoy the irony for a moment. The mighty Xavier, the golden man with his empire, the man who took everything I built now standing here, talking alliance with the man planning to destroy.”Xavier pushed off the beam, took a step closer. “You think this is about iron
