~Decker~ For the entire night, I could not rest; the flashes of that beautiful face didn’t allow me to close my eyes. I couldn’t think of anything else, her gray eyes glittering in red lights, the way she lifted her big lashes, and that killer smile. That was the first time for me to feel this way. I have been with many, but none of them were enough for me. And here, just a glimpse of her beauty worked like a weed for me. Watching her face on the ceiling of my room, I started smiling like a crazy person. Who was she? All I knew was the morning lights showed up while I was still glaring at the ceiling. Tired, I stood and did my morning business. Enzo was sleeping like a log, but I took him to his new college today. I came to my office, where Vicent caught me yawning frequently. “Good morning, Senor.” I gave him an exhausted look as I settled on the chair, “Good morning, Vincent.” “Seems like you didn’t sleep last night.” I nodded without looking at him. “Is this related to the p
~DECKER~ We came to the hospital with her dear friend, Ramona. Although I didn’t need her, she was more like an interruption. Resting her delicate body on the hospital bed, I waited for the doctor to arrive. I was quietly scanning this beauty while she was groaning with pain. Should I ask her? But I didn’t want to make her feel I was affected and drooling over her beauty. Even in pain, she cursed those bastards. “How did you get blood on your forehead?” She pressed the cut with a damp cloth, “One of them smacked my head with the gun,” she replied, “And why did he do that?” “Because I kicked his balls.” She rested her head back on the headrest, making me laugh. “What’s so funny about it?” “Nothing, I am surprised... maybe you didn’t need me to save you,” I replied, pressing my lips together. The nurse came over and checked her pulse. She removed the damp cloth, revealing her cut on the right upside of her eye. “I am going to clean your wound. Don’t scream.” The nurse dipped
She challenged me while leaving me alone. She was not a regular girl whom I could impress with my money and charm; She got something special that made me run after her. We met twice, and she mocked me with her words and attitude every time. Now it came to my male ego to know her, to make her feel I was still the devil of this town. After she left, I took the deal into my hand. She showed her attitude; it was my time to make her know who I was. The evening came, and I reached the pub. Instructed everything for the manager. I knew she would come today for her performance, but the one thing she didn’t know from now on, she had to perform for me. *********** As the evening comes, all the girls come to the vanity room to prepare themselves. “Alright, girls. Customers are waiting for you all.” They gave the last touch on their face while walking out, “Not you, Rose.” The manager stopped. Rose furrowed her brows, as this was not good news for her. She needed money, and her server j
As the days passed, Decker’s curiosity to know about Amber turned out to be an obsession. The more she limits, the more it becomes hard for Decker to control himself. He tried hard to showcase himself as a gentleman, but the eagerness surfaced to have her, and it was challenging to deceive. He knew everything about her routine, despite that, she didn’t allow him to explore what was inside her heart. “Senor, are you in love with that girl? But she seems not interested.” Vincent questioned. “I don’t know about her, but she has something that my heart craves. And her constant rejection makes me want her more and more.” “I want to be soft with her, but sometimes I’m scared I might hurt her.” Decker ruffed. “But what if she?...” “Stop right there, Vincent.” Decker glared at him. “I am going to the pub.” Decker left for the pub, waiting for Amber to enter the room. As the doorknob turned out, his heart skipped a beat, thinking she might accept him today. Her flawless skin shines thr
~DECKER~ When the sorrow comes, time stops. It felt like it would never move. The same thing I tasted when I saw Enzo and Amber enjoying their moments with each other. I was breaking it day by day. I didn’t know why I allowed Amber to use me, maybe because I thought she would see my dedication towards her one day. But I was wrong; she used me for everything. The day came when I heard Enzo talking to his friend about Amber. I was right; he was never serious about her. He used her for his pleasure. For a moment, I felt happy for her to accept me, but the very next moment, I felt terrible for her. I knew she loved him, and he was using her. My angel said to confront my brother and make him realize he was not doing a good thing by her, but my devil said, let there be a dispute between them; she should suffer; she used you for her benefit. Being a big brother, I thought about fixing things, even though this fire would burn me. “Enzo, how could you do this to Amber? She loves you.” He
It’s been a long time since Amber’s birthday party. Decker used to stay out most of the time; he never liked to spend his night in the mansion, where he could encounter Amber and Enzo. But the day came when his good spirit gave up when he saw Amber’s face filled with red marks. She was alone, crying in the garden. “What happened?” “Nothing.” she tried to avoid his question. “There is nothing for you here,” she snapped. He left the place going rogue. He didn’t know how to control all this situation, “Senor,” “We are going to take back the place.” Another business matter was going on where the Russian tried to enter his territory. With Amber in his mind, he lost control. The matter could be solved with communication, but his anger flowed when he started shooting his enemy and created the blood bath. After killing his enemies, he was not satisfied. “Senor, you didn’t need to kill them,” “Don’t teach me how to do this fucking business, Vincent,” he snapped. Vincent sat next to him,
The next day, Adele woke up with a strained body. She strolled towards the bathroom. The hot water slipped down her muscles, making her feel relaxed physically, but her mind never felt strangled like this. For these last five years, she has worked hard to train herself as one of the finest officers. She didn’t know they assigned her to a task where she had to deal with a mafia king, who was her sister’s killer. As time passed, her senior revealed why they hired her on this mission. Her looks and appearance matched her dead sister and the only weakness of Decker Costello. “Sir, I am excited about my first case,” she said. “Detective Adele, I know how important this case will be for you and your career.” She stood in front of him with expected eyes. “But you should know why we assign you on this mission. We know Decker Costello as the uncrowned king of the underworld. He assassinated his father’s killer, who was the ex- mafia. You can get all the details in this file.” He exten
Sitting in front of Elijah’s parents, Adele and Elijah were enjoying dinner. “So, how’s work?” Elijah’s dad, Sam, questioned. “Well, Adele caught a criminal mastermind.” Elijah smiled, sipping his wine. “Is it?” Sam smiled, raising his toast. “Stop talking about work; She is a smart girl, and my son is lucky to have a life partner like her.” Elijah’s mom, Miranda said. “Thank you.” Adele gifted a thin smile. Everything looked perfect; she was a successful woman in every aspect of her life. But what was bothering her, “Oh, I need to bring the desert. Adele, dear, could you please help me?” Miranda smiled. Adele followed her into the kitchen, Miranda turned and grabbed Adele’s hand gently, “Is there something bothering you, Adele?” Her motherly eyes scanned Adele. Adele pressed her lips together; how could she tell what was going on in her mind? There was a battle between her mind and heart; Why does it feel so wrong to choose what was right? And why does it soothe her soul whe
