My back hit the wall as his grip tightened around my wrist. "Who really are you?" he growled, eyes blazing. "Answer me." My lips curled into a wicked grin, eyes glinting. "I'm your biggest nightmare!" His face twisted in disgust. "Psychopath! I married a psychopath!" I let out a cold, mirthless laugh, the sound dripping with venom. This explosive confrontation marks the beginning of a twisted game between Gabriella, a complex and enigmatic figure, and her powerful, ruthless partner. Bound together by secrets and lies, they engage in a toxic dance of obsession, loyalty, and hatred. As Gabriella navigates her complicated past and confronts the darkness within, she must make choices that will either destroy or redeem her. With each intense confrontation, the stakes escalate, threatening to consume them both. Will their twisted dance forge an unbreakable bond or ultimately destroy them? Or will Gabriella's sinister plan tear them apart?

Chapter 1 Captivating My Master's heart

Gabriella

The cold marble floor beneath my feet seemed to drain the last shred of hope from my veins as the guards dragged me forward. Ruby, the drug lord's mistress, descended from her throne-like chair, her stilettos clicking on the floor. Her perfume, a sweet and suffocating scent, wafted toward me.

"Bring her forward," she ordered, her voice tingled with cruelty.

As the guards pulled me closer, Ruby circled me, her eyes raking over my body.

"Oh, best friend, so sad to see you serve me." Her voice feigned sympathy. "Four years ago, you should have been here, in my place, as his mistress."

I caught the glint of gold on her fingers as she gestured, her nails gleaming like razor-sharp talons. The memories she stirred up made my chest tighten.

"But what did you do?" she continued, her voice lethally sharp. "You chose to run away with Otto, and he still betrayed you by bringing you back here, as a slave."

A bitter laugh escaped my lips, echoing off the cavernous room. "Are you trying to dig up my past?" I asked, meeting Ruby's gaze. "It's obvious you know everything since you were my best friend. What exactly do you want, Ruby?"

Ruby's face twisted in rage, her cheeks flushing. "Ruby?" she spat, her voice rising. "I am your master's mistress. How dare you address me by my name?"

I flashed a sly grin, my lips curling upward. "Should I call you mistress?."

The air seemed to vibrate with Ruby's anger. For a moment, she was mute, her chest heaving. Then, her expression hardened. "Behead her!" she shrieked.

The guards yanked me away, their grip bruising. Panic set in as I stumbled, my heart racing. Time seemed to slow as the guards' grip tightened. I closed my eyes, bracing for the worst. But instead of the expected blow, Uriah's commanding voice cut through the tension.

His arrival halted the guards, and I caught a glimpse of his piercing gaze locked onto me.

His voice cut through the tension. "What is happening here?"

Ruby's smile faltered, her eyes darting to the floor. "Nothing, master. I'm just teaching her a lesson."

Uriah's gaze never left the floor, his jaw clenched. "By beheading her?"

Ruby's laughter sounded strained, her words tumbling out in a rush. "What are you saying? You heard wrong."

Uriah's silence was oppressive, his stillness a contrast to Ruby's growing agitation. She shifted her weight, her hands twisting together.

Ruby tried again, her voice trembling. "Oh, you heard that? It's a novel." She turned to me, her smile tight. "Go Gabby, get me the novel. Make sure to get that one... or it's going to be next time."

Her eyes blazed with fury, but I kept my tone neutral. "Yes, mistress."

Ruby's eyes widened, surprise mingling with anger. Her lips pressed together, forming a thin line.

"My lord, how was your trip?" Ruby asked, her voice overly bright. "Do you want me to make a hot bath for you?"

Uriah ignored Ruby, his focus snapping to me. His eyes burned with intensity, the red rims making my pulse skip.

"You!" he said, his voice low and commanding.

I bowed my head, my heart racing. "Yes, my lord."

"Prepare my bath."

Uriah turned to leave, but Ruby intercepted him. "That's preposterous. Why will a common maid prepare it? I'll do it."

Uriah's grip on Ruby's arm was vice-like. Her eyes went wide with fear before she wrenched free, fleeing the mansion with her bodyguards.

I stood alone with Uriah, the air thick with unspoken tension.His gaze snapped to me, his eyes burning with intensity

Uriah's gaze pinned me. "What are you still doing here?"

My voice barely rose above a whisper. "I'm sorry, master. I'll prepare the bath now."

My feet seemed rooted until Uriah's gaze released me. I rushed to obey, my heart pounding.

I poured the scorching water into the tub, my hands shaking slightly. The sound of splashing water filled the air, and I couldn't help but glance at the door, anticipating Uriah's arrival.

He strode in, his red robe accentuating his broad shoulders, and my gaze instinctively dropped to the floor.

"What's your name?" he asked, his deep voice commanding attention.

"Gabriella, master," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Gabriella?" He repeated, his tone thoughtful. "Sounds familiar."

I dared a glance, meeting his piercing gaze. "Yes, master."

His eyes seemed to bore into mine, as if searching for something.

"Well, Gabriella, do you want to see me naked?" he asked, his voice low and husky.

My cheeks flamed, and I took a step back, startled. "What?"

He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You can leave, unless you want to see what doesn't belong to you."

I laughed nervously, trying to compose myself. "Oh, that's what you meant. You should have told me; I had bad thoughts for a second."

He took a step closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Bad thoughts, I see... You think I want to get down there? Huh, Guilabella?"

My heart skipped a beat at the familiar name.

"You still can't get my name right," I said, pushing him gently away.

"It's Gabriella, master. And no, I don't want you down anywhere but..." My gaze locked onto his, a spark of defiance igniting within me.

"I'll leave now," I said, turning to depart.

His voice halted me. "Gabriella."

I glanced back, meeting his intense gaze.

With a final glance, Uriah dismissed me, and I fled the chambers, my heart racing.

Uriah, my first love and first enemy.
