Peter's eyes pleaded. "I'm sorry for what I did, but-" Dominic cut him off. "If I had not married your daughter, you would have fallen here in pieces by now." Peter's voice barely audible. "I'm sorry..." Just then, the office door swung open. Valerie's soft voice interrupted the tense scene. "Dinner is ready." Every head turned towards the door. Valerie's eyes widened as she took in the room's atmosphere. "Dad?" Dominic's expression remained stern, but a flicker of warning flashed in his eyes. He nodded subtly at Kael. Kael strode towards Valerie, his movements fluid. "Vel, let's go." Valerie's voice trembled as she asked Kael, "What's going on? Why is Dad kneeling there?" Kael's expression softened, but his eyes remained guarded. He offered a gentle smile. "You don't need to worry about him, Valerie." Valerie's concern deepened. "But what's happening?" Kael's tone turned cold. "Anyway, that man doesn't deserve anyone's concern." Valerie's eyes widened. "That man is my father." Kael's jaw clenched. "That man was neither a good father nor an honest man. He's getting what he deserves." Suddenly, the sound of a bullet firing cracked through the air. Valerie's eyes went wide, and she took a step forward, but Kael grasped her hand, holding her back. "Don't go there, Valerie," Kael warned, his voice low and urgent. "The boss is very pissed off right now. It's not safe." Tears welled up in Valerie's eyes, spilling down her cheeks. "He was my father," she whispered. Valerie, wife of mafia king Dominic, faces danger when Viktor, seeking revenge, targets her and their unborn child. Despite Arthur's protection, Valerie is kidnapped and brutally attacked by Viktor, resulting in the loss of her child. The tragedy unleashes Dominic's darker side, transforming him into a heartless and cruel leader, driven by vengeance. Valerie, pregnant with Dominic's child, is ambushed by Viktor, who seeks revenge against Dominic. Arthur, Dominic's loyal associate, tries to protect her, but Viktor outsmarts them. Valerie is brutally attacked, losing her child. Dominic, devastated by the loss, becomes consumed by rage and a thirst for vengeance. His transformation from a powerful yet caring leader to a ruthless and heartless mafia king sends shockwaves through the organization. As Dominic's obsession with revenge grows, his relationships with Arthur and others begin to fray. Valerie, traumatized by her ordeal, struggles to come to terms with her loss and Dominic's transformation. Valerie's relationship with Arthur, also known as Alastair, is a intricate web of emotions, trust, and shared secrets. Their connection predates her marriage to Dominic, and its depth is unknown to everyone, including Dominic. The story explores the darker side of power, love, and loyalty, raising questions about the morality of revenge and the true cost of protection.
"Boss, forgive me. I will not commit this sort of mistake again." He pleaded, kissing the floor as he begged for his life. Fear was evident on his face. He regretted betraying the greatest mafia boss in the country. It was the biggest mistake of his life, and he was paying dearly for it now.
"You won't live to make this mistake again, Peter. I never spare a traitor, and you know that very well," Dominic said, waving his gun around and blowing cigarette smoke into his face, making Peter even more nervous.
Peter held Dominic's feet and begged, "Forgive me, boss. I promise I won't make such a mistake again. I have a family."
"You should have thought about all this earlier," John growled. "It's too late now."
Peter's face contorted in desperation. "Have mercy on me, Boss."
Arthur stepped forward, his eyes narrowing. "You were passing our information to our enemies; don't you think this mistake is too serious to be forgiven, Peter?"
Peter's voice cracked. "I... I was helpless. Those people threatened to kill my family and sell my daughter to a brothel."
Max's voice dripped with malice. "Jenna, 25 years old, beautiful. Can I make her my slave?"
Dominic's gaze never wavered from Peter. "Do whatever you want with her, Max."
Then, his attention snapped back to Peter. "I won't leave you unpunished."
John's anger flared. "I suspected you for a long time; even if you were forced, you should have remained loyal. Do you think those people are more dangerous than us? We are the most powerful mafia in this country. How did you forget this? Betrayal from us after working for us for 7 years."
Peter's eyes pleaded. "I'm sorry for what I did, but-"
Dominic cut him off. "If I had not married your daughter, you would have fallen here in pieces by now."
Peter's voice barely audible. "I'm sorry..."
The office door swung open just then. Valerie's gentle voice cut through the scene: "Dinner is served."
Every head turned toward the door. Valerie's eyes popped when she registered the room atmosphere. "Dad?"
Dominic had an angry face, but in his eyes flickered a warning. He nodded subtly to Kael.
Kael moved toward Valerie in smooth strides. "Val, let's go."
He placed a gentle hand on her elbow, ushering her out of the office. The door fell shut behind them, leaving muffled sounds of raised voices.
Valerie quivered as she asked Kael, "What's going on? Why's Dad kneeling over there?"
Kael's expression softened, but his eyes remained guarded. He offered a gentle smile. "You don't need to worry about him, Valerie."
Valerie's concern deepened. "But what's happening?"
Kael's tone turned cold. "Anyway, that man doesn't deserve anyone's concern."
Valerie's eyes widened. "That man is my father."
Kael's jaw clenched. "That man was neither a good father nor an honest man. He's getting what he deserves."
Suddenly, a bullet fired with a sharp crack through the air. The sound made Valerie's eyes go wide, and she took a step forward, but Kael held her hand tightly and pulled her back.
"Don't go there, Valerie," said Kael in a hushed, urgent voice. "The boss is very pissed off. It's not safe."
Tears welled in Valerie's eyes, spilling down her cheeks. "He was my father," she whispered with a breaking voice.
*******************
Carter quavered in voice with the words, "Why did you shoot him?"
Dominic's gaze turned glacial, his eyes blazing with anger. "I'm the boss here, and I don't need to explain anything to anyone."
With that, Dominic turned and strode away, leaving the others in stunned silence.
Carter's eyes narrowed. "We could use this bastard against our enemies."
Arthur's expression turned skeptical. "This bastard is not to be trusted."
Carter persisted. "But Dominic also had the same plan."
John's voice dripped with calculation. "We know the reason for this. Valerie, if this man was alive, surely she would have shown mercy towards him. And Dominic would not have been able to refuse Valerie."
Max snorted. "Love is bullshit. Dominic is cruel to everyone except his wife."
Arthur's tone turned cynical. "Because his wife is going to give birth to his heir."
The room fell silent, the weight of Dominic's motivations hanging in the air like a challenge. The men knew better than to question their boss's actions, but the whispers of doubt had already begun to spread.
As they dispersed, the sound of Dominic's footsteps faded into the distance, leaving behind an atmosphere thick with tension and unspoken questions.
*************************
Valerie and Kael's embrace lingered until Dominic's fake cough broke the spell. Valerie's gaze shifted, meeting Dominic's piercing stare.
Dominic signaled to Kael, and he discreetly exited, leaving the two alone.
Dominic's expression softened as he approached Valerie. "These six men of mine used to be the most cruel once, but after you came, they became humans from animals."
Valerie remained silent, her eyes searching Dominic's face.
"Baby, next time, before you come to my office, knock on the door," Dominic reminded her, his tone gentle.
Valerie's voice trembled. "How can you be so calm?"
Dominic's brow furrowed. "And why are you so stressed, baby? May has a problem; I don't want my son to have any problems. Did you have dinner?"
Valerie shook her head. "No."
Dominic's expression turned stern. "How can you do this? It's your responsibility to take care of my baby. I won't tolerate it next time."
Valerie's eyes dropped. "Sorry."
Dominic's tone softened. "Okay, I'll feed you."
He offered his arm, and Valerie took it, allowing him to lead her to the dining area. The tension between them melted away to make way for an easy warmth and familiarity.
As they walked, Dominic's hand drifted to Valerie's stomach, a gentle caress. "My priority for all time next is you and our little one."
Valerie's gaze met his, a mix of love and concern reflected in her eyes.
Dominic guided Valerie to the dining area; within her mind, her father's image of kneeling on the floor repeated, the gunshot still echoing.
Shiver in her spine as Dominic's warm touch passes his palm through her neat stomach, hitherto stark contrast with what had happened right in front of her.

"We neither want to be in a relationship nor can suppress our needs," she whispered, her lips brushing against Gage's. Gage's eyes burned with intensity, his lips curling into a smile. "So what do you propose?" he asked, his voice low and husky. Nicole's smile grew wider, and she leaned in closer, her lips touching Gage's.

"There are some rules, though," she whispered. As they kissed, Nicole pulled back slightly, her eyes locked onto Gage's. "What if we fall in love?" she whispered.

"Wait, our fathers had decided that to maintain peace between our families, our only sister, Ivy, should be married to Victor.
