Chapter 1Chapter 1: Prologue

"Patrick, I need a solid old friend."

"Roberto, is that you? How the hell are you, my friend? It's been ages. I hear you're having a little headache out your way. Is that what this is about? You need I should get some of my people on it?"

"Nah, paisan, I've got it covered. It's my baby girl; you remember Arianna, yes?"

"Little Arianna, is she still such a spitfire?"

"Mama Mia, if the enemy's bullet doesn't cut me down, that child will do it, I swear."

"A handful, huh."

"And then some, that's why I'm calling; I need to send her to you for safekeeping until I send my enemies to hell where they belong. This fucking gumbah Vasili is a pain in the ass. Now he's not only greedy but stupid. Word is him, and his brother has concocted some scheme to force my little angel into marriage with one of their sons."

"Unethical, who would do such a thing to a young girl? What is she seventeen, eighteen?"

"She just turned eighteen, but that's not the problem so much; the thing is, she somehow got wind of it and is out for blood."

"Come again."

"The girl fancies herself to be some sort of gangster. My fucking idiot brother is always filling her head with shit. Instead of baby dolls and tiaras, he had her playing with epees and shuriken. By the time I figured out what the fuck, it was too late. While I was busy building an empire, that fuck was turning my kid into his nephew.

"You know Alphonso was always set in his own ways. And since he never planned on marriage and kids, I guess he figured yours were gonna be his.

Patrick laughed at his old friend's plight. Though the two men hadn't seen each other in quite some time; years, in fact, he remembered well their younger days together. Days spent on the streets of Chicago as young toughs trying to make names for themselves.

The old regime had been on its way out then, and they were determined to make their mark. There'd been a war back then too. The old warhorses hadn't wanted to let go, but the young blood proved to be too much, and youth and brains prevailed. The mob took on new connotations then; yes, they still strong-armed those who would oppose them, but they were no longer in the market for unprecedented killings. Blood on your hands was seen as a last resort, whereas before, it had been par for the course. Back then, in the back alleys of a festering city, two young toughs had made a pledge in blood.

"Do you remember our oath?" Patrick now asked Roberto.

"I thought you'd forgotten; it's been so long."

"Nah. Circumstances call for a little change in plans, but it's still the same; besides, it works out better this way since my Paddy is more into the saving of lives. He has no stomach for the life; now his firstborn Shane, perfecto."

"Yeah? We'll have to sit down; I think that might be just what the doctor ordered."

"That much trouble is she?"

"If she weren't my kid I would've capped her a long time ago. Does that answer?"

"Send her to me; I'll straighten her out."

Little did he know while he made that pledge to his old friend that things would change almost overnight.

[BL] Dear Hushand, I want divorce

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
