Chapter 11: My Whore of an Ex-Girlfriend
“And if it isn’t my whore of an ex-girlfriend,” Johnny said, his composure snapping back into place like steel locking into steel. His voice cut through the lobby, sharp and venomous. “Don’t you dare call me that,” Mia snapped, her face twisting with rage. “What are you even doing here? Are you stalking me? I thought I made it clear—it’s over between us.” Johnny tilted his head, studying her with the same casual indifference one might reserve for a roach scuttling too close to their shoe. He let out a cold laugh. “Please. I’d rather chase after a street corner side-prostitute than ever go back to you.” “Watch your tongue, you wretched fool?” a voice growled. Until that moment, he hadn’t even noticed the man Mia was clinging to. He too was surprised how he could not have noticed the man at her side. What a sight he was—short, round-bellied figure with a face that looked like it had been pressed against a frying pan one too many times. His short legs strained against a pair
Chapter 10: The Nebula Hotel
…[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE RANKED UP] RANK LEVEL UP: Beginner I >>> Beginner II RANK-UP SKILL REWARD: Stealth Mode…“Nice,” Johnny muttered, lips curling into a grin. “That’s basically invisibility.”[Not quite,] V.I.X.E. N’s cool, feminine voice rang in his head.“Well, close enough, right?”[Close enough indeed] she replied.The wind cut in through the half-opened window, carrying the faint sting of smoke from the Pine Club. His signature still lingered in the air behind him, burning into the skyline like a warning. Johnny pressed his foot down, and the car responded instantly—smooth, powerful, obedient, a machine made for a man like him.Ahead, the Nebula Hotel rose into view, towering over the city like it had been carved out of the heavens themselves.Johnny slowed as he approached the gates, and his chest tightened—not out of fear, but memory. The last time he stood here, he was nothing more than a broken man with empty pockets and a big simping heart that was
Chapter 9: Pine Club
The Pine Club breathed smoke and neon.Cigarette haze curled into the low ceiling, mixing with the heavy perfume of liquor, sweat, and sin. Shadows stretched across velvet booths where men whispered over tumblers of whiskey, where women laughed too loud, the kind of laugh that tried to hide fear.Everything about the place screamed power disguised as pleasure: black marble floors reflecting neon light, velvet couches swallowing whispers, bass-heavy music that masked the sound of knives being drawn.The Tigers owned it, and everyone knew it. Their lieutenants sat in the back booth like kings at war council, smoke curling around their heads as liquor flowed.But tonight, the mood was poison.News had already reached them—Euphoria’s bar had gone up in smoke, their grenade had failed to kill the woman, and worse, someone had interfered.“That someone,” growled Razor, pulling down his mask enough to drink, “is Johnny Steele.” He spat the name like venom. “You know how many men he put
Chapter 8: The Gas Station
Johnny’s hands gripped the leather steering wheel, fingers drumming to the low growl of the engine. The car didn’t just move; it prowled. Streetlights streaked past in golden slashes, neon bled across the windshield, and the city stretched open before him like a kingdom waiting for its king.He pressed the accelerator. The car responded instantly, surging forward with smooth, obedient power. It wasn’t just a car. It was an extension of him, a predator in steel skin.But Johnny’s grin faded as the silence in the car grew heavier than the roar of the engine.Cassandra’s face kept flickering across his mind. The way she looked at him in that hospital bed—half amused, half testing. The way she dismissed his money like it was pennies in her pocket.Time and trust.That was what she said. Money wasn’t enough. Not to her. Not to the kind of woman who thrived on control, on appearances, on untouchable dominance.Johnny exhaled. He could dodge bullets. He could wrestle thugs. But flirtin
Chapter 7: Bloody Ink
The first thing Cassandra noticed wasn’t the sting of needles in her arm or the antiseptic bite in the air. It was the silence.Too clean. Too sterile. Too unlike the chaos that had swallowed her last night.Consciousness returned in fragments.First was the smell—antiseptic, sharp and chemical, seeping into her nose like unwelcome fingers. Cassandra’s lips parted with a faint groan. The air here was stale, too clean, nothing like the perfume and whiskey-scented nights she ruled over.The second was sound. Not music, not bass, not laughter. Just the faint beep…beep…beep of some machine behind her, counting a rhythm that felt foreign, almost mocking.Her lips parted before her voice found her. “Wh-where… where am I?”Her lashes fluttered. The world swam into focus: sterile walls, pale light, the faint beep of a heart monitor keeping time with her pulse. She breathed in slowly, every inhale dragging across bruised ribs.A hospital.For the first time in years, Cassandra Vale was
Chapter 6: The Club Owner
Johnny grinned, despite himself. “Sorry about the mess. Your guests weren’t exactly friendly.”She descended the stairs slowly, hips swaying in rhythm with the bass still thumping through the speakers. Each step seemed choreographed to tease, to keep eyes on her and only her.Every man in the city would have dropped to his knees just for a glance.When she reached the floor, she didn’t spare a glance at her broken attackers scurrying away. Her gaze locked on Johnny like he was the only man alive.“You did all this?” she asked, almost lazily, as though the answer didn’t matter but the game of asking did.Johnny smirked. “They started it. I finished it.”“…Interesting,” she said. Her voice was honey dripping over a blade. “One man against seven, and you’re still standing. That shouldn’t be possible.”Johnny straightened, smirking despite the blood on his knuckles. “Guess I’m full of surprises.”Her eyes flicked down his frame and back up again, slow enough to be deliberate. “Mm
