I finished quickly and headed to the second floor to see what kind of information did Leo get.
I didn’t forget what happened yesterday, even though I look composed and calm, but deep inside I was seething. I can’t believe something like that happened in my club, to my Ariel. My Ariel?!Since when did I consider her mine?Since you gave her your necklace and marked her as yours ... I still don’t get it. Why did I do that? It’s like another me did that. I snorted. It’s true. It’s the other you alright, the beast inside you wanted her and when it wants anything, it just gets it. But why her? She’s eighteen, for God’s sake! Does it matter? She’s your woman now. Your beast claimed her as his... as yours.My beast.....Cerberus.......My mother gave me that name since I was a little kid saying that I have the soul of a beast, a hellhound, Cerberus, the mythical dog that guards the underworld, Hell.When did I ask my father why Cerberus?She said because I am like h

I sat on the bed for a while after Mr. Stranger left, still trying to comprehend what’s going on. I still don’t understand. What am I doing here? Or How I came here? I groaned and fell back on the bed; it was soft and tender and so freaking big wow.I turned on my stomach and inhaled deeply, and sighed. Yes, this is his smell. I still remember it perfectly. Though it started to fade back home, his masculine scent, mixed with his cologne, surrounded me like a safe cocoon. I rolled on the bed like a happy cat having her first dose of catnap. His scent made me feel high.I knew it was weird. I should be panicking right now because hello I wake up in a stranger’s bed, a dangerous one at that. But all I felt was safe and protected. Besides, he’s my stranger, so bite me if you don’t like it.I walked to the door he just entered before he left and found his walk-in closet and what I saw made me gap like an idiot. It was huge, bigger than our house, and has everything a man needs;

After I made sure that Ariel was safe at her home and there was no one lurking around it, I headed back to the mansion. I have some serious interrogation to do; I need to know who was that asshole harassing my Ariel and why he chose her from all the girls in the club. I mean I get it; she was so beautiful in her innocent way, so vibrant and so alive. Every soul in that club noticed her even, me, the coldest asshole. There, her heat and light draw me like a moth to the flames, but still why, especially her. There were so many women there ready to go for a one-night stand.I pinched the bridge of my nose and got out of the car. Everyone was busy doing their job, and as usual, Theo and Leo were waiting for me in my office.“So your girl is safe at home?” the smugness of Leo’s face irritated me.I ignored him as usual and faced my third after sitting behind my desk.“He till refuses to talk.“ I asked with a calm voice, unlike the storm that was raging inside me.“Yes sir,

I was so happy today. My heart felt light and carefree. The old couple's celebration was a joyful event and a hopeful one too. It gave me hope that maybe one day I will be lucky to have that kind of love. The love that goes beyond age, time and whatever life might throw at you. The two looked so much in love, even though it has been years and years. Even though one of them sometimes forgot the other, still their love didn’t change or fade away. And also today, for the first time, I sang in front of people I knew, yes we are not that acquainted, but still, I did something out of my comfort zone.I took the books that were left on the tables with a huff. Some people don’t have the decency to return them back to the shelves. We are not your slaves here.I sorted them out and put everything in the right place, but when I was about to return to the tables again, I was pushed back harshly towards one of the shelves.“Ouch, what the hell.” I didn’t finish my complaint. I was t

When we arrived at the mansion, Ariel was a little calmer. I know she was shocked; she felt betrayed by her closest friends. But still, I can’t wipe the triumphant glow deep inside me; yes I was happy not because she got her heartbroken. But because now she knew the truth about that Jap bastard, the way he looked at her and how he treated her as if she belonged to him was getting under my skin. I was this close to lose control and kill him and screw the consequences. Ariel is mine and I will be damned if I let that boy take her from me. It doesn’t matter if she loved him or not; it doesn’t matter if she wanted to be with him; it doesn’t fucking matter if she doesn’t love me. All that mattered was she belonged to me. At that moment I had only one thought: eliminate the threat, protect what is yours, yes at that moment I was the beast everyone claimed........ No everyone knew that I was. I helped her out of the car and into the mansion. Leo was there waiting for us. When she s

I threw my hands in the air, frustrated. “This is ridiculous; I just want to help you, nothing more.” I glared at her. She is really starting to get on my nerves, ugh. “Because I can do it.” That’s all what she said, and I was shaking with anger and she stood there waltzing around doesn’t give a shit at all. “Hey, I was here first. You found me in this kitchen making breakfast. You have no right to dispose of me like that. I didn’t even finish my waffles.” Yes, my voice was whiney, but this woman was already treating me like a little kid. So fuck it. She tried more than once to make me leave. And when I told her I was in the middle of something, she sniffed my perfect waffle mix, and then threw it in the garbage. “Miss please, go sit and I will take care of everything. Breakfast will be ready in 20 minutes.” She looked down at me with her nose raised up in the air; yep I will kill someone today. The kitchen was getting cr

I sat in my office, deep in thought, trying to figure out what was happening around me. Alessio’s disappearance and word in the streets are that he and his boss are at odds right now. Basically, he is a solo player at the moment, and Giovanni isn’t responsible for his action anymore. But is this really the truth, or is this a new scheme? I can’t shake the idea that there is something wrong is happening and all the answers are right in front of me. But I can’t grasp them. I closed my eyes and tried to relax, stressing about it won’t do me anything. All I need now is to be ready and wait in silence. The Italians have lost their touch, and this organization has been crumbling for years now. This chaos was expected, but what I really don’t understand is why did they come after me and mine, now. We have been cautious to stay away from each other feet especially that we work in different fields, even after what happened with Lena. I gritted my teeth. I don’t

I woke up this morning in a good mood. Unlike the other days that followed this incident with my best friend, or should I say, ex-best friend. I turned around and rubbed my face into my billow. Mmm, it smells like Gabriel. My chest warmed at the thought. I didn’t imagine in million years that he would come to just talk about what is bothering him. Yes, he didn’t give me any details or specific information still; he came only to me. I stretched my body languidly before groaning. It is a school day and school now sucks. I have no one to hang with, there is no one to eat lunch with, and certainly, everyone is evading me like a plague. I’m sure it has something to do with what happed back in the cafe, but how! I have no clue.The noise from downstairs caught my attention. Rose must be here and, as usual, doing something in the kitchen. I told her so many times that she didn’t need to make me breakfast, but she refused to listen. I think she feels guilty fo

I stood there eyeing the three teenagers in my office. My back was to my office’s desk, Theo in the corner glaring at me while Leo was sitting on the leather couch glaring at them. The kids were standing in the middle of the office room, fidgeting, their eyes cast down, afraid to look at me directly. I rubbed my face before speaking. “So you are telling me that there was a fight at your school today and it was between Ariel and some cheerleader?” Lola looked up. “Her name is Tracy Kennedy. She is a friend of Catherine.” She looked at me expectantly, as if this girl’s name should make me somehow understand the relationship. Tyler skimmed his sweaty hands on his jeans. “Catherine is, or…. was Ariel’s friend. She is Rick’s girlfriend who is always with Blake Roberson.”Leo sighed. “His father works with the Crimson dragon Yakuza.” I hummed and gestured to them to keep going. Lola spoke a
