Extra weekly chapter! Mafia’s Devil will update tomorrow.
“I think I love you.”
He didn’t bother to whisper like I did. The deadliest man in Zolan isn’t afraid of looking soft.
So what do I reply? Nothing. I gape like a fish, unable to find a reply alt...

“On we go,” the officer tells the visibly shaken party.
I’m shaken, too, but there’s no time to reflect on that. My eyes remain on Vrint. He is the only one that can slam the brakes on the spiral of destruction we’re heading towards.
KARINE
My heart pounds along with my feet as I run out of the diner and into the bitter embrace of the cold.
In my rush, I slip on an icy part of the sidewalk. I fall on a pile a snow and turn rapidly to see if Luciano is catching up to me. He’s not there. Not near me, or even in th...

JOAN
“Hi, everyone.” I smile at the eleven children in the room. It’s an odd number, and everyone in here is odd, including me. I’m the alien adult in the room.
All the kids look at me with distrust in their eyes. It’s a look I’m f...

Like everything else, Luciano doesn’t care about my shyness.
I have little time to make out what happened between us as he dries me as if I’m an invalid and carries me to my bed in quick strides. He sets my clothes beside me and warns, “change in a minute or I’ll change...

“Get up!”
The General’s guttural boom awakens me. It doesn’t startle me. Mainly because I’m used to him barking at us, and because I’m not a deep sleeper.
I slide off my bed and pull my trousers on. I secure my weapon belts and boots, but don’t bother with a ...
2021-09-16 21:34:58 +0000 UTC View Post“Good day, Joan.”
I don’t like the way Vrint says my name. It sounds too perfect. Usually, Zolanos say my name with an accent. War, for instance, could never pronounce my name correctly.
I see him smile at me, but the curves at the end of his mouth don’t soften his face. I’m...
2021-09-15 05:40:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Marry me, Karine.”
I’m panting, clinging to life.
I’m clinging to death as well, because Luciano is under my fingernails. As he shared his possessive vision of filling me with his heirs, I clung to him, ready to welcome him and his offer inside.
“I can’t,” I swall...
2021-09-14 06:03:42 +0000 UTC View PostI jiggle the pouch that was given to me and hear metal clanking inside. It must have money to get me by. War must have sent this for me.
Emotion surges, but I step into the orphanage before I get distracted and robbed blind.
“What is this commotion?” Lady Hope steps into the first...
2021-09-11 06:17:41 +0000 UTC View PostI thought I’d grovel and dig my nails into the dirt before I ever returned to the City. I came to this military camp to survive— something that I barely managed when I was living off odd jobs.
Now, I am going back.
I don’t think The General realizes how skinny I get when I’m r...
2021-09-11 03:30:31 +0000 UTC View PostStupid. Him, me, both of us. We’re stupid.
I kissed Luciano back. My lips are hypocrites for cursing and threatening him one second and kissing him passionately the next.
I can’t even pull away from his side. The one instance I half-heartedly inched away, he pulled me back to his ...

“Joan!” War calls after me.
I run around the tent with Yippy in my arms, going straight for my favorite tree. It’s where...

Yippy follows me inside, so I pick him up and carry him to the half-full bathtub where I scrub him clean.
Today I decide I can’t live another day indoors. I disobey War’s command and tidy up the tent. This place is so huge that it takes some effort to...

Long chapter! ❤️
I follow Luciano and round the vehicle to slip into the passenger seat. My soaked panties feel colder, but I’m not sure if it’s the icy wind that makes it feel that way, or my shame.
I click the seatbelt on and cross my arms over my chest, fearing Luciano coul...

The General ducked his head back into the tent, still erect but his expression no longer light. He’s in business mode. There’s no more time for fun and games.
“I don’t want you to leave the tent. The situation is getting intense and I won’t be here t...

The sheets were wrinkled and faintly sme...

It hurts that my intentions are being doubted, but this is only natural. The General doesn’t know me well, and he has a job to do. He has to protect the camp.
I slowly raise the letter and the Entertainer smirks.
Will I ever have privacy here? Wil...

I shove at him with all of my might. I don’t know where I’ll run to since my car is dead and getting buried in snow, but anywhere is better than Luciano’s side.
My movements are heavily restricted by the seatbelt and this ape of a man. He snatches my wrist, and I’m conv...
2021-08-23 07:00:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe kitchen fire burnt down the vintage cabinets and left ugly stains on the wall. It ruined the meal my chef left me, too, so I’m left eating takeout in my office.
I’m staring at a spreadsheet, trying to make sense of the numbers as I eat like a slob. I don’t bring food into the offi...

Yippy is very confused. He recognizes me, but there’s something in the air that keeps him alert. It must be the scent of The General— of War.
War… I don’t like that name. It doesn’t fit him, because although he’s built for war, he’s n...
2021-08-19 18:42:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s the fourth day since I moved in. The General hasn’t slept a wink. Like he said, Masters can function well without much. The General hides it well with his stealth and icy stare, but I know he’s tired. His body is made of stone, but he’s not immortal.
He needs to sleep in his be...
2021-08-18 05:53:59 +0000 UTC View PostI enter the store like I own it because, technically, I fucking do. There are racks and racks of crystal containers lined with glittering jewelry.
There are plenty of people here — couples, families, and lone customers.
“Get the fuck out. Clear the store!” I yell, raking a hand ...
2021-08-15 20:29:04 +0000 UTC View PostI close my dried lips and look around the tent. It’s huge, just like its owner.
There are two pillars in the middle, armors and weapons stacked all over the place.
This is the definition of a man cave.
The furs I’m sitting on are pristine white from the coat of an animal onl...
2021-08-14 05:34:50 +0000 UTC View PostTwo days later, it becomes abundantly clear that my life will forever roar in this camp. I’m a celebrity here. Silence is a thing of the past.
Someone threw dirt on my dinner. An angry Entertainer is my guess. Or maybe it was The Headmistress.
The joke is on them, because this isn...

“You better tell me, because I just used my sick card on Maksim. That means I can’t use it again for another three months. I have to use it sparingly or he’ll be onto my little act.”
With a tired smile, I sit next to Raelynn. “Thank...

Well, that just happened.
They were kissing.
Adrian turned his shoulders so his back was pressed against the couch. His computer slid to the side, and one of his hands found the small of her back. It didn’t ask for anything. It was a gentle, supportive touch there...
2021-08-09 23:28:25 +0000 UTC View Post“I would never hurt you.” His confused expression becomes frustration, because he knows that’s not true. He hurt me before— unknowingly, but the history of pain exists just like our podiums. He’s at the very top, and I’m shriveling in the dirt as everyone looks up at him.

2021-08-07 18:43:57 +0000 UTC View Post“What?” Malik frowns at my request. “You do not simply summon The General. He is a busy man who comes to you if the urge strikes.”
I know this. By calling for The General, I’m borderline insulting him, but I don’t think he would mind. He seems to always drag me to his presence, ...
