CHAPTER 1:THE OBSIDIAN SECRET

CHAPTER 1:THE OBSIDIAN SECRETThe atmosphere inside this nightclub is making me anxious. The people aren't very welcoming either. I go out the first door I can find to get some fresh air.Kimora told me this girl's party would be at some high end bar. Instead, we are at a this dump of a club. The skimpy dress I'm in provides nothing but stares at this place.The fake ID in my purse feels like a waste of time.Kimora paid so much money for it, but I'll probably never use it again.I text her that I'm going home because I need a shower desperately.I walk down the stairs from the back of the club.The alley only continues left, so I follow it until I find the street. I notice four people beside the dumpsters. I think they are hiding behind them. I don't look directly at them because I just want to get out of this hole.I try to keep my head in my phone, but then I realize how silent the group is. These fuckers are probably staring at me, so I look at them to set the record straight.The

CHAPTER 2:THE OBSIDIAN FALLS

"Holy shit. Do you think...?""I'm asking my dad. Come on."They both walk to the other side of the alley where Nathaniel, the blond guy, and that guy's father are standing. I can't hear them as well, but i can make out what they were saying."Is this shit related to a Nara Voss dad?"His dad looks at him quickly.He knows..."Yeah that's the guys niece. Why?"I see Nathaniel walking towards the car.As soon as he opens the door I can feel myself starting to panic. He quickly slices the rope off of my wrists and yanks me out. I follow him back to the other four. I'm able to get a better view of the two new people while my arm is being tugged.The son of who I'm assuming is the leader around here is in all black as well. He has short, messy brown hair and pierced ears. In front of his right ear is the same tattoo as Nathaniel. His dark blue eyes are cold, and his scruffy beard fits his scarred up face perfectly. His clothing is thick, but I can already picture that tall, toned body."

CHAPTER 3:SPARED

I nod."And that crash happened when his son turned eighteen..." Nathaniel says.They all try to process this sudden information."It's the start of the feud. Ten years ago his heir left, and he needed to act on us fast before we found out. They didn't want us to find her..." Says the son.I had no idea I was the spark. I knew of the tensions, but it didn't concern me because it wasn't a part of my life."Nara, if you were somehow back in the picture, that would make you first in line, correct?" Asks the father."Yes….""So how the hell do we get you back into it?"Asks his son.I stay silent to think of an answer. My thoughts are cut off when we pull into a garage."We can think about this later, I'm tired." Says his father."Nathaniel, take her to the empty room upstairs."At least I get a whole bedroom to myself.They take me across the sidewalk to their building. We walk into an elevator and rise seventeen floors. The doors open to a massive penthouse. It is spacious, and made of

CHAPTER 4:THE VOSS CONNECTION

I am startled awake by the sound of a gunshot, so I put my robe back on and run down the stairs.After rushing to the kitchen I see Liam, the Leon guy, and the blond idiot laughing at the kitchen island.They turn their heads over to me."Morning!" Says Leon.I'm in shock that they haven't addressed the gunfire."What the fuck was that?!?" I exclaim.They look at the obvious bullet hole I can now see on the ceiling."There was a spider." Leon says.I can't form any words to reply with. The idiocy is just spilling out of him."I was sleeping!""Well it is good that you are up. Get ready for a meeting with my dad at the offices." Liam says."Can I have an hour? I was just scared shitless by assface over here.""That was an order Nara . You should have clothes in your closet now."His tone stings."Oh so now I have to wear the shitty clothes you picked out for me. Wow can't wait."He definitely doesn't like how I talk back. I can see his bicep flex as he tightens his fist."Just go look

CHAPTER 5: The Seduction Plan

“Well, please do share,” says Mr. Luca.“We will meet with Killian at a public place to try and make some amends. Then we take her with us as someone’s side piece or something. We would dress her up enough so Killian can’t resist any seduction from her.Once he asks her name, she tells him.”“Why would he want to meet with you guys? You just killed his father!”“That was a secret trade. We were already blackmailing him. Nobody knows who killed him on their side,” says Liam.“Well, I don’t want to act as a side piece,” I complain.“No, this could work, Nara. We can’t have him take you home to meet Amary because you would probably be killed. Public would be the safest thing for this too.”“So where do we do this then? I don’t want to be throwing myself at him in some supermarket.”Liam scoffs at me and looks at his father.“What about Ethan?” Mr. Luca asks.“Too crowded.”“What’s Lavo?” I ask.“My nightclub,” Liam says.“Oh…”I am pretty impressed. I start to wonder what else he could o

Chapter 6: Seduction as a weapon

Everything is a blur.The purple and red glow coming from the neon sign is burning into my skin. We have already been outside for ten minutes waiting for Mr.Luca to arrive.I can hear the bass pounding from inside. It isn't as loud as my heart beat though. The cool air keeps sending chills down my exposed skin. I am dressed in the sluttiest black and white outfit I could put together. They couldn't keep their eyes off of me the entire ride over.Mine couldn't resist Liam.His tight black dress shirt only has the bottom two buttons done, and it is tucked into his gray jeans.His sleeves are rolled revealing his tattoos I have never seen before. He has on silver earrings, and a long necklace with a cross at the end. It rests against his massive chest so perfectly.I want to rip it off with my teeth.Nathaniel also looks pretty damn good. He has his short sleeved shirt open at his chest too. His tattoos fit him so well. He has bands around his arms, and Japanese lettering down his left

Chapter 7: Safe in His Arms

Everyone on their side begins discussing things among themselves while we remain quiet.Killian isn’t included in their conversation.He leans forward, his hands resting behind his head. The tension in his posture tells me this must be stressful for him.Finally, Killian speaks quietly.“He’s right…”None of the men beside him hear him.“What?” one of them asks.Killian lowers his hands and looks up.“I said he’s right,” he repeats.His men look confused.“I’m twenty years old. I’ve only been involved in this life for half of that. I’m not ready for this…” He pauses before glancing at me. “And I know Nara isn’t either.”Silence falls over them.I think the truth they had been avoiding has finally found them.A strange sense of safety washes over me. I’m not sure if it’s because Liam is standing beside me or because Killian doesn’t want to hurt me.Maybe it’s both.“We understand this is a large offer,” Mr. Luca says calmly, “so we are willing to give you a few days to think it over.”“

Chapter 8: BREAKING LEON

I woke up to snow outside my windows. I would be happy if it weren't for my shivering body. This place has almost no heating. I throw my robe on over top of my pajamas and head downstairs.There is an unfamiliar silence in the penthouse. I look outside to find the roads still white. I quickly read in the news that the blizzard happened without any warning, and majority of the plows are snowed in.As I get out a mug to prepare myself a hot coffee, I hear footsteps echo the stairway. Nathaniel greeted me in the kitchen. He is wearing heavy of pajamas too."Why is it so damn cold here?!""Cause the power is off?"I take a look at my dark surroundings. The natural light is misleading."Oh...""It should be fixed in a few hours. The entire block is out.""What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't even light a fire."He sighed a bit."Well it's days like these that we usually do training. You're welcome to join us if you'd like.""Why the hesitation?" I smirk."It just gets a bit rough in

Chapter 9:LINES YOU SHOULDN’T CROSS

He places his hand on the lower part of his neck.“This is the cervical plexus.” He removes his hand. “It’s the most common spot people aim for. But if your opponent is as tall as I am, that won’t do much good for you.”“Right?”I nod.“There are two other plexuses you can aim for.”He points to his shoulder area and then above his hips.“If you aim for these first, the opponent will bend down to deal with the pain. That’s when you strike the neck.”This is way more useful than I expected. I’m surprised he knows all of this.“The reason I’m not going to let you try it on me,” he continues, “is because there’s a very high chance you could paralyze your opponent if you hit these nerves. Each hit raises the chances until they actually do get paralyzed.”“So this could just end a fight?” I ask.“Yep.”He signals for me to come closer.“So if you were aiming for this one, what would you do?”He points to his waist again.I aim for his hip with the bottom of my left foot, but he quickly tak

CHAPTER 10:CROSSING THE LINE

The past week felt like I've in limbo.Liam and Mr. Luca left on a trip to Italy, so I was left with Bruno, Leon, and Nathaniel . I spent most of my time training with Nathaniel . I even learned how to spin the knife, though he still laughs when I do it.Killian has spent the entire week cleaning up after the murder. The guy had connections none of us could've known about.My anxiety kept me focused on my situation with Liam. I keep thinking he is with another girl. I've been side by side with him since we met, and he hasn't gotten any action.Today is my first time going to the Italian warehouse because Nathaniel needs to double check the inventory. We drive down an alley to the docks. This place seems too perfect for drug deals. The space is open, but there is no sight of it to the neighboring streets. He parks the car facing the bay. When I get out, I can smell every dead fish in the body of water.He leads me inside the roll up door. There are a few people around, some that I eve
