MASONThe darkness that crawled like a fog in my head when I saw Mira and Axel kiss earlier threatens to come out and play ball right now.I hold her to me by her fragile wrists, realising that it would take absolutely nothing to hurt her – realising that in this moment, maybe I want to hurt her.I do not care about her explanations or whatever she has to say. She should have known better. Now, she stares at me through those scared, wet eyes, but instead of remorse or pity, I only feel a cold, angry emptiness.I flip her over and press her into the bed, lifting her arse high in the air as I ready her for my spanking. I had thought of this idea when she ran from my office earlier, but now, I’m switching it to a whole new level.After I spank her to my satisfaction, after I make sure that that pussy is wet and dripping from the pleasurable pain I inflict, she will explain to me why she let another man touch her, most importantly Axel Roman. That prick.“Mason, what are you doing?”“Stay
I huddle into my blanket in the front seat of Vanessa’s Ferrari and stare out the window, trying to numb the painful pang in my chest. She finally gets in, starts the car and pretty soon, we’re off. With every mile that takes me away from the party… away from Mason, I feel a strange hurting sensation in my throat.“I can’t believe that sonofabitch. Thank God I arrived on time. Are you okay, sweetheart?”Because I still feel raw, I ask instead,“Where’s Anna?”“Girls sleepover at her friend Marcy’s place.” I smile fondly at the thought of my sister. I miss her so much. I turn slowly to my best friend.“How did you find me? How did you escape Damon?”She shrugged,“I traced your phone’s location to that room, or rather, the police did. Same thing. As for Damon, I escaped. But let me worry about that.”Despite the numbness, the thought of Vanessa sneaking out of Damon’s glass mansion to rescue me like some kind of superhero brings a smile to my lips. I lean over and give her a quick
In the hidden darkness of a dilapidated warehouse, a beautiful woman sits atop her wooden throne, her face set in hard, straight lines.“What’s the status report?”The woman before her trembles like a leaf.“I’ve tried all I can to keep them apart. I have executed all your plans just like you asked. We’ll just have to wait to see the results.”The queen rises to her feet, the flowing tail of her dress dragging behind her.“I’m beginning to think you’re becoming incompetent. Maybe you don’t want to see him again as much as you claim to. Maybe I should just do away with him.” Her voice oozes evil. Pure, calm evil.“No! No, please. I promise I’m trying my best. Please don’t do this. I beg you.”The queen pretends to be deep in thoughts for a second.“Wanna see something amusing?”The woman raises red, tear drenched eyes, her stomach tightening with foreboding. Things the queen finds amusing are never amusing…they’re traumatising.Taking her silence as an answer or not really caring at a
MIRAIt’s been twenty four hours and Mason hasn’t come yelling, screaming and wrecking havoc all over the place like I’d imagined. We haven’t even heard a peep from him and Damon. I’m supposed to be happy…relieved, but all I feel is a strange, empty hollow in my chest and mounting panic that perhaps Mason has decided to forget about me. Perhaps he’s realised that I’m not worth the trouble. Fuck, I’m a mess.A part of me wants to stomp over to La Magnifique and ask him if I am that quick to forget, if what we had, no matter how volatile, never meant anything to him. While a part of me just wants to be relieved that he seems to be giving me a break.I cannot deny that I miss him. I miss him so much, it’s beginning to hurt. I went to bed last night clutching the pillow to me and imagining it was his chest. I’ve fallen for Hades’s dark angel and there’s no going back.Saturday night rolls into Sunday evening. When Anna and Vanessa can no longer stand my long faces and new habit of cons
MASON“Hello, uncle.” I greet, not bothering to get to my feet as Escobar Scuderi walks into his huge office where I’ve been waiting for him for the past hour.“Nice of you to finally show up.”The older man takes in my calm demeanour with suspicious grey eyes, and I rein my temper tighter. My uncle likes keeping out bait, waiting for his prey to fall for it so he can snap you back into his jaws like the predator he is.I, on the other hand, learned to stop falling for his bait a long time ago. Currently, only Mira is allowed to make me lose my temper.Escobar takes his seat and spears me with a piercing look.“I see the prodigal son has finally come home.”I clench my fingers into fists to stop myself from lashing out.“Quite the opposite, actually. The prodigal son had come to deliver a warning.”The air in the room immediately becomes stiff with tension. I can feel Escobar’s soldiers become more alert from their perch at the door all the way from here.Escobar smiles.“Let’s hear i
MIRA Monday morning breezes in and there’s still no sign of Mason. No texts, no calls…no nothing. The hole in my chest has grown wider, and the pain, probably sharper.I can't believe he just tossed me aside. Is he really planning to forget about me?“Thing is, I have no idea if I still have a job or not.” I whine while lying on Vanessa’s bed.My best friend stares at me through groggy eyes,“Bitch, it’s six AM in the morning. Why are you even on my bed?”I ignore her.“I mean, should I just dress up and go there? Maybe I could ask him face-to-face.” The thought of seeing Mason again makes my heart beat in crazy rhythms.Vanessa huffs and pretends to have a mini swoon. God knows she’s tired of my antics. Just then, the doorbell rings, startling us both. After two seconds of staring at each other like idiots, I finally shoot to my feet.“I’ll get it!”“Take a weapon with you just in case it’s the big, bad wolf.” Then she throws the covers over her head and falls back to sleep.I do n
MIRAWe finally arrive at Mason’s office building and Darth ushers me in. As we go through the gleaming reception, I hear him mutter into a transmitter,“Boss, she’s here.”My heartbeat quickens when Mason says something inaudible.Seconds later, I feel Darth’s palm on the small of my back.“C’mon, miss, we’re going straight to the boss’s office.”My palms turn sweaty. I want to argue but Darth is already shoving me into the elevators. Within minutes, we arrive at the maze of desks that make up the common area. It’s probably a busy day because the place is buzzing with people carrying files, making phone calls and literally doing office stuff everywhere.“Oh. There he is.”My head snaps up and I follow Darth’s line of sight to find Mason leaning against one of the numerous doorways, legs crossed.I come to a halt, trying to catch my hitching breath. Suddenly, it feels like all the air in the room has been sucked out. The buzzing atmosphere is stripped bare and all that exists is Mason
MASONRestraining order my arse. Restraining order my fucking arse.Mira Fernandez has no idea that she’s just unleashed a monster from his gilded cage. Maybe I was possessive and overbearing before.Maybe I was a stalker.Maybe I was the devil.Maybe I was hell’s archangel.But Mira has completely succeeded in ripping open the darkness I tried so hard to keep hidden. She has unleashed the dark side I swore never to show after I killed my father.It’s funny how she thinks a restraining order can stop me from having her. A mere sheet of paper. I don’t care if it was her idea or not. I don’t care if she wanted it or not. All that matters is that at a point, she accepted it. She signed her signature on those documents. She agreed to bar me from having access to her…and she knows how uncomfortable I get when I can't touch her when I want to.She thinks she’s played me, but I’m not regarded as the most dangerous billionaire in New York City because I give up easily.If I stalked her be
