Cerberus (Women of mafia book 1) Chapter 1 one

"Yayo, yayo

Moo la lah

Yayo

Bitch better have my money,

Y'all should know me well enough,

Bitch better have my money,

Please don't call me on my bluff,

Pay me what you owe me,

Ballin' bigger than LeBron,

Bitch, give me your money,

Who y'all think y'all frontin on?

Like brrap, brrap, brrap "

"Jesus Christ" I shrieked when I saw the old lady that was lurking behind me, giving me the stink eye disgusted.

"I want a copy of Macbeth, rental two weeks period."

I tried to slow my heartbeats and move. This woman almost gave me a heart attack. I went to the shelves to get her the book she wanted, and who buys or rents a book this late? It's 10 pm for God's sake. Isn't she afraid that someone would rob her or, worse, kill her?

"Here you go ma'am, this would be....."

"I know what the cost is, here."

She threw the money on the counter and went mumbling something about kids these days who have no shame.

Wow, I love Sundays; they are the best start of a productive week, so that's why people are so peachy.

"Ariel, please clean up and close. I've to go. Haley just called, and she is throwing a tantrum."

"OK Daniel, have a good night."

He didn't give me the chance to reply and left me screaming after him, ugh why me? Why did Jason have to take the day off? I went to the kitchen and checked that everything was clean and gathered the garbage bags, then went to the back door to throw them out. You see, I work at a library slash coffee shop so you can read your favorite book and enjoy your drink. Sometimes we rent books only for the regulars, so I'm sort of a librarian, waitress, and barista.

I'm a senior. I live with my mom who is a nurse, by the way. I don't need money actually, but I work to pay for my piano lessons. My mom works so hard to afford the college money for me. I want to be a doctor, so yeah I need a little fortune, that's why I'm working to pay for my piano lessons. I wanted to help her. I'm not a shameless girl, as the nice lady said a few moments ago.

I sighed and threw the bags next to the others in the alley and when I was about to leave; I heard someone groaning and froze. Oh my god, what is that? What should I do? Is this for real or just my imagination? But again I heard it. I swallowed hard and turned back slowly, then took hesitant steps farther into the dark alley. My breath hitched when I saw a body behind a big bile of garbage and again froze, staring with wide eyes. In front of me was a man clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.

And without thinking, I ran to him.

"Oh my god, oh my god. Sir...... Sir Are you OK? Jesus, I'm gonna call 911."

The man held my hand and looked in my eyes and said "D.... Don't please, just get me out of here."

"But... But you are bleeding so hard, and I think you lost so much blood. You need to go to the hospital. "

"No... NO PLEASE, just help me to get out of here."

I chewed on my lower lip, thinking about what to do. The thing is, I live in Queens, and..... ugh you got the picture. The man tugged on my hoodie sleeve and that did it for me.

I put one of his arms around my neck and I slipped my right hand around his waist and started to stand up and boy, was he heavy. I held dragged him all the way inside into the kitchen and closed the door. While I was about to drag him out to my mom's car, I heard the sound of the front door's bell. Someone is here. I put him in the corner behind the small counter and was about to see who came, but the man held my right hand in a death grip and shook his head no.

"It's ok? Don't worry, I'm gonna be ok." I whispered.

He dropped his hand reluctantly and let me go; I gave him a small reassuring smile and headed to the door to see who was there.

"We are closed, sirs," I said with a weak smile to the three bulky men who were looking around suspiciously.

"Oh, I see. Did a man come here, or did you see him pass by?" the tallest one asked.

"This is a library, sir; a lot of men come here to read books."

"This one is no ordinary man. Well built, 6.5 foot, tan skin, dark hair, amber eyes, stabbed, bleeding," He said, smirking.

"Oh, umm no, I don't think I saw him. Do you want to check the cameras? Maybe he came at the morning shift. I wasn't here sorry."

He narrowed his eyes and tried to see if I was lying, so I fluttered my eyelashes and gave my most innocent look I've.

"Alessio, let's go." One of the other two men told the hulk in front of me. Alessio gave me another look and went out with the others.

I let out the breath I didn't know that I was holding and slid to the ground.

After ten seconds, I regained the ability to walk again and went back to the man in the kitchen.

"Sir..... sir wake up, God is he dead." I kneeled and checked his pulse, no he's still alive, just fainted. He's still bleeding profoundly. I left again and closed everything, the light and the front door, then drove my car to the back alley. I looked around carefully to see if anyone was watching me, and when I was sure that nothing was wrong. I opened the back door and dragged the man to the car, and headed home.

Thank god I was living three blocks away, other days I just walk. But today when my mom knew that I'll be late she gave me her car.

Again I dragged held the very heavy unconscious man to my room, which was on the second floor. Lucky me.

My weak knees just gave up the moment I entered; the stranger and I were on the floor. I was breathing so hard and him groaning.

"Hey wake up, please. I can't drag you around anymore. I'm not that strong, trust me."

He moaned and flattered, his eyes open.

"Where am I?" he looked around suspiciously.

"Ah...... Um, after these three scary men left. I couldn't let you stay at the library, so I brought you here to my house...... umm this is my room."

With wide eyes, the man looked at me, surprised. But actually, it was me, the surprised one. This was the first time I took a good look at his face. The first thing I saw was amber. His eyes were the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life, two golden gems with a hint of green. Red full lips, straight nose crocked a little, rough stubble dusting his sharp jawline and a cute dimple on right.

His groaning made me snap out of my trance and remembered what's going on. With hot red cheeks, I stood up.

"Umm.... can you stand up? We need to go to the bathroom to clean your wounds."

I didn't wait for his answer. I just ran there.

After a minute or so, the stranger came wobbling. He lost a lot of blood; I was astonished that he can even open his eyes.

"Hey......Would you please sit here?" I closed the toilet seat and opened the first aid kit and looked for scissors, then faced him to cut his dress shirt.

"What the hell you think you are doing?" he growled.

I winced when he held my right wrist in a death grip.

"I need to check your wound. It's still bleeding so hard, and your clothes must be sticky. It's gonna hurt if you tried to take them off. I need to cut them." He narrowed his eyes.

"And if you check it, what can you do about it? Nothing."

"Look, you don't want to go to the hospital. You're bleeding, and your wound needs to be cleaned at least."

He let my hand hesitantly. I helped him take off his jacket and tried to take off his dress shirt, but it was sticky like I thought. With all the bleeding and the open flesh, it was like glue. So I used the scissors to cut it open. I tried so hard not to flush when I saw his naked torso; it was a sight to behold. Broad wide shoulders with lots of muscles, defined strong abs and on his left pectoral, there was a scary tattoo of a three-headed vicious dog, surrounded by flames. And a lot of scars all over his abdomen. On his back a full back length tattoo of some sort of grim reaper, angel!

His grunts again brought me back from dreamland. I shook my head clearing it; I gently touched the wounded area on his right, trying to understand what I'm dealing with.

"Umm... You need a couple of stitches. I'm not a professional, but I can do it. My mom taught me, but it won't look pretty. I'm not that expert. "

He opened his eyes and said, "Just do it."

"Ok, I'll clean it first, Um.....I don't have any anesthetic, I'm sorry."

"Just fucking DO IT."

I flinched but didn't say anything and started silently to clean the cut, disinfecting and stitching it.

When I felt him flinching and biting hard on his lower lip that he draw blood, I couldn't take it anymore.

"Shhh, it is ok. I'm almost done. I promise it's gonna end soon." I cooed even though I know it's childish, but what else can I do?

"Ok, I'm done. I think no vital organs were damaged, but you need to check everything up. I'm not a doctor." He just nodded.

"Ok... Here, let's clean you up. I'll bring you something to wear to get some sleep. "

I helped him to wash his face and gave him a big shirt of mine and walked him to my bed. Then brought him a couple of Aspirins and a glass of water. When I was about to go, he grabbed my hand.

"Why?" he asked

"What? Excuse me. "

"Why are you helping me? Aren't you afraid of someone like me? "

"Oh, I can't lie and say I'm not afraid of you, but why not helping? I mean, you were in a bad condition and can't go to a hospital for certain reasons, so what else can I do? Leave you to die? "

"Do you know what I do for a living?"

"I think I have a good idea about that ......" I prayed my hand from him "Just get some rest."

I took a shower and wore my pajamas and checked on him; he didn't have any fever or anything, thank goodness. And then I headed to my chair next to my desk and tried to sleep.

I checked the alarm clock; it was 12:01 am. I sighed.

"Happy freakin eighteenth birthday Ariel." Then I fell into a dreamless sleep.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
