Chapter 1: Gaze That Burns in the Shadows

he Shadow of Sophia club was busier that night. The thick cigar smoke from the VIP area was suffocating, making it hard to see clearly and navigate between the tables while balancing that damn tray, but it was also where we got the best tips. Just thirty more minutes. That was all I needed to endure from those rich guys who had no sense of manners or respect. Big shots. Businessmen. Politicians. Even the top tier of the underworld frequented that place. All of them strutted around in their fancy, expensive suits, laughing about how they had ruined the life of yet another random poor soul drowning in debt. Shadow of Sophia was the most popular club in Soho, London. Known for its exclusivity and complete discretion, it wasn’t a place where just anyone could walk in for a drink. Even we, mere hourly workers, had to go through a tough hiring process and rigorous training before we could start serving in the halls. The beautiful, elegant facade with purple neon signs and black velvet

Chapter 2: Ghosts of the Past

Finally, I was on my way home. My hands were still trembling as I recalled what had happened at the club, but I clasped them together, trying to suppress some of the fear that still lingered. I glanced at my watch, the last item my mother had left me, the only thing I managed to save before my stepmother, Diane, could destroy it and sought comfort in it. The entire way, I kept thinking about that crazy, terrifying man. I couldn’t recall ever seeing him at the club before. A man as handsome as him would be impossible to forget. Yet, not even all his beauty could erase the unpleasant taste he left in my mouth. “That man was completely insane. Who was he?” I thought, irritated, as I remembered the way he compared me to a squirrel as if he knew me. But there was also that strange promise that still sent shivers through my entire body. That man was definitely dangerous. His blood-stained face was etched in my mind, a gruesome reminder of how terrifying the world could be

Chapter 3: Shattered Memories

I couldn’t stay there; someone would come upstairs soon, and if they saw me in that state, it could get worse. My hand throbbed, the cut had reopened, and the blood flowed warm from the wound. I returned to my room, locking the door and sliding the latch I had installed after a night when Liam came home drunk and tried to break it down. I went to my closet, grabbing the small first-aid kit I had put together after Diane “accidentally” pushed me down the last few stairs. I was still missing a few things, but I managed to apply a temporary bandage until I could get to a hospital or a pharmacy. Sitting on the bed, I took a deep breath, wiping away my tears. What did I expect? Diane only saw me as a way to make money without having to get up from her tacky sofa. Ever since my father introduced her as his fiancée, I had felt something off about her, but I still tried to build some kind of relationship. Of course, she would never take my mother’s place, but nothing prevented us

Chapter 4: The Raven of Red Eyes

I was thrown onto the back seat of the car, hitting my head against the closed door. My legs were bound with the same zip tie that restrained my wrists, leaving me completely at that man’s mercy. I couldn’t breathe; it felt like I was drowning. I pulled my wrist against my chest, feeling the tick-tock of the watch resonating against my skin. The elegant upholstery reeked of smoke and strong perfume. Even though the vehicle seemed clean, there was a strange, metallic smell on the carpet that churned my still-aching stomach. I couldn’t move properly due to the restraints and the pain in my abdomen, so I preferred to stay still to avoid any internal damage Liam might have caused me. I had to be careful with my body, but I doubted those men would take me to a hospital if I asked. The man in the passenger seat grabbed his phone. “We have her. Yes, we’ll be at Shadow soon.” Then he hung up. “Send a group to the house,” the driver said, addressing the man beside him. “Even thoug

Chapter 5: I Am Your Master

That smile, those silver eyes devoid of any emotion. It was identical to earlier when he took a man’s life without so much as blinking. His eyes roamed over my face, trailing down my body until they stopped at my hands. With a sideways smile, he pulled out a blood-stained knife. I jumped back, trying to pull away from him, but Cassian was faster and grabbed my wrists with force. “If you don’t want to lose a finger, you’d better stay still.” He brought the blade to the zip tie binding me and cut it. I felt the blood rushing back into my fingers and rubbed my sore wrists. He raised the knife again, turning the blade in front of my face as he looked into my eyes. They were empty, dark abysses that seemed to pull me into them. The cold blade touched my face, sliding down my cheek. I swallowed hard and then held my breath. I felt my heart pounding hard in my chest, fear, and anguish growing as the knife slipped toward my neck. Those gray eyes didn’t stray from mine, as if he w

Chapter 6: The Harsh Reality

“How can this happen?” I whispered, my clenched fists trembling on my legs. I had planned my life far away from Diane and Liam, was so close to having enough money to be free, and then, overnight, I was thrown into a trap full of wolves. Cassian’s fingers touched my face, catching me completely off guard. I stood up in a panic, knocking the chair over behind me and nearly falling onto it. I braced myself for the impact, but it never came. With a firm grip, Cassian wrapped his arm around my waist, as if I weighed no more than a few pounds to him. He smiled, noticing my surprise and discomfort with the awkward position we were in. My heart raced, and my face grew hot. I tried to pull away, but he tightened his hold, pulling me closer to his body. “Boss.” A voice called from the door behind me. Cassian’s cold, cruel gaze turned in that direction, sending a chill down my spine. I seized the moment to step back and adjust my clothes. “We need to get you out of here.” I g

Chapter 7: The Raven's Nest

There was nothing I could do. Fighting or trying to escape would only put me at unnecessary risk. The sun was beginning to break over the horizon, and my body was already showing signs of exhaustion from all the stress I had been forced to endure. I forced myself to stay awake, watching the path the car followed. Gradually, we moved away from central London, heading toward the upscale suburbs. Mansions of various styles appeared until we entered the famous Billionaires' Row. That place was known for its top-level security, as well as guaranteeing the privacy of its residents. The car stopped in front of a large mansion with a modern, imposing facade that reminded me very much of the Raven of Red Eyes himself. The journey didn’t seem to have taken more than thirty minutes. The door on my side was opened, and two men stared at me with coldness. I crawled out, looking around. Armed men, security cameras—the place seemed to have monitoring tighter than a bank. “Move it,

Chapter 8: Shadows in the Night

The blonde maid looked at me as if I were crazy, smiling while covering her mouth. “Oh my, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Her gaze didn’t match her words. Her cold blue eyes looked down at me as if I were beneath her. “Shall we go?” We walked in complete silence, which I mentally appreciated. Cassian’s room was on the ground floor, which shocked me. I had always believed that the main bedrooms of wealthy people were on the upper floors, far from the staff and such. As soon as we entered, it became clear that the room might have been an office that had been converted. It wasn’t as grand as a master bedroom, but it was very well-decorated, airy, and conveniently located in the corner of the house, with one window facing the front and another facing the side. “You can start by cleaning the bathroom and then vacuuming the carpet,” the maid said. I looked around, and there were no cleaning supplies nearby. “And what exactly am I supposed to clean with?” I que

Chapter 9: The Raven's Judgment

The bar was empty. It was still too early for the rush, so I took the chance to approach from the side and call out for Chloe. As soon as she saw me, she ran in my direction. “Lili! Oh my God, are you okay? I sent you messages, but I got no reply.” I sighed, leaning against the counter. “Everything’s fine, but I don’t have my phone.” My friend sighed, running her hand through her short blonde hair. “You look so pale, girl. Did that witch do something, or that son of a…” “I’m okay, Chloe. Seriously. I’m just tired of this crazy routine.” Even though I felt a pang of guilt for not telling the whole truth to one of my best friends, I knew it was better that way. I was already drowning in problems; I didn’t want to drag Chloe into all of this. Not far off, I saw the manager walking through the room. He seemed desperate, searching for something, and I realized he might be looking for me. Urgency took over. “I have to go back, but I promise I’ll message you as soon as

Chapter 10: Blood in the VIP

Everything seemed to freeze. The beating of my heart echoed in my ears, and my legs trembled. Harry released me, and I fell to the floor, my eyes fixed on the scene before me as I tried to process what was happening. A murder had just taken place right in front of me, in a crowded club. I glanced at the door, expecting someone to come check, but nothing happened. The man, on his knees, fell backward, trembling, his pants growing wet. “Did you really think I wouldn’t find out about your schemes?” Cassian approached the man, who tried to crawl away but was stopped by Cassian’s men. “Take him away.” Both the man and the body were removed from the room, leaving only one guest still seated, paralyzed. The man’s face was pale, and he gripped his knees with his hands. Cassian holstered his gun, sitting back in his armchair. “I must congratulate you on your promotion.” The man looked shocked. “I hope we won’t have similar issues, Thomas, and that everything will be resolved
