“You can be auctioned tonight at the Nightingale club to earn some money to pay for your late father’s debt, baby girl,” Dario Stephanie, the Italian Mafia Don cooed in Ariana’s ears, she shook from fear, taking a step away, tears streamed down her cheeks. The man had just tortured and killed her father in front of her and now, he wanted her to pay for his debt. Ariana wasn’t stupid. Wiping her tears, she looked him proudly in the eyes.“No. You already killed your debtor. If my father was alive, I would have done it but you already killed him so his debt should be canceled.”Dario grimaced and his countenance was deadly, as he gripped her throat. Ariana was out of breath and defenseless but her head remained high, as tears continued to stream down her cheeks. Her eyes were still haughty and she didn’t bat an eyelash. Even if she got away from Dario, she wouldn’t be able to escape from his bodyguards. It was the only reason why she didn’t try to defend herself. “I can kill you too, f

Since the voice was robotic, she couldn't discern the anger buried in it. “Aren’t you asking for too much?”Her head was still lifted high, her look haughty. “If you won’t take what belongs to you, then give me the privilege of knowing the man who saved my life,” she spoke in a polite pleading tone and his heart seemed to have softened towards her. “Will it make any difference?” He asked. “You have no idea,” Ariana responded while looking at him pleadingly. A moment of silence ensued and she knew the man was thinking about her request. Suddenly, he warned her,“If you tell anyone, I will kill you myself.”Ariana smiled and vowed, “I’ll rather die than offend you.”The man seemed satisfied with her response, turned his back to her, removed his mask, then turned to face her. She was shocked to see that the face behind the mask was the most beautiful one she ever saw but his eyes were so dark and piercing, she felt scared. His hair was long, heavy, black, and curly, almost falling on hi

"Miranda's mother was Caddaric's father's betrothed before. Unlike her mother, Miranda already won Caddaric's heart while she was in school. He already promised to marry her and the Blades do not go back on their words," Juliet said seriously, trying to debunk the girls having eyes for the heir of the Blade Towers. Unknown to her, Ariana was equally disturbed but there were pending things for her to think about at the moment, such as finding out Dario’s whereabouts. Since she didn’t believe that she could make a lot of money to pay him off, she had directly filled in his account details, and all her money less the club charges had been paid to him. It was the reason why she was teary this morning.The lobby was quiet because most of the girls were crushing on Caddaric but it seemed that there wasn't hope at all. "How do you know all this?" One of the girls asked Juliet. "Have you forgotten whose daughter I am?” How could they forget that she was Santiago’s daughter? Santiago was a maf

Ariana took up the character of a bartender as soon as she arrived for her shift at the Casino. Most people who won bets would come to drink to celebrate and those who lost drank to forget their misery.She was just doing her job by being nice to these senseless rich men who had no value for women. She smiled and joked along with them but when thrown with the opportunity to earn more by gracing their beds, she refused politely as always. Situations might force her to do things she didn’t want but she wasn’t going to let those things define her. The only time Ariana had let her guard down was when she was auctioned at the club.She wasn’t the only bartender on duty but as usual, she attracted a lot of attention because of her sexy and attractive look. She was pouring a drink for some of the men when she saw from the corner of her eyes, a man who looked familiar, yet different.It was also the first time she got distracted from her job, overfilling a glass when she locked eyes with the

Ariana froze in a stupor, and as shameful sensual moans deafened her ears, she felt disgusted. She couldn’t believe it. Seth died last night and his girlfriend was being fucked by the assistant manager on his desk. Being so engrossed in pleasure, they hadn’t noticed the intrusion. Ariana only realized that she was in the wrong office after realizing that nothing in the office related to Caddaric and Jade, the assistant manager wouldn’t dare to do this in Caddaric’s office. She began to fear the repercussions of being seen by Jade and for Caddaric to think wrongly of her if she didn’t see him on time. The least she wanted was for him to be upset with her. She tiptoed backward, unfortunately knocking over a vase, which crashed to the floor but surprisingly didn't break so Ariana picked it up and placed it where it was before. Jade lifted his head, his gaze shifting to the door, as he startled and stared fearfully, relieved that it wasn’t Caddaric. Marcie, who kept accusing Ariana bitt
