Carlos was sitting on his luxurious couch in his lavish condo, smoking a Cuban cigar and drinking the most expensive Scotch on the market.
"It seems like Victoria is doing well on her own" he said while he took a whiff and let the smoke linger in his lungs before he exhaled "I remember having her under me and doing what I wanted with her in my dorm room, now she has become a very independent and very sexy woman. I need to have her again"
"It might not be easy, Sir. She is not the same she was back in college, I have heard she is someone you can't mess with anymore," my right-hand man, Marcos mentioned.
"I don't mind, Marcos. I love a good challenge" Carlos replied, taking a sip of the drink, and let it coat the inside of his mouth before swallowing while it burned his throat.
He will have Victoria once again if it was the last thing he did. He will convince her to accept his alliance and then he would slowly make his way into her.
As the fireplace burned in front of him, he thought about that night and what it felt like to have her right there.
“That would teach you to respect me, love” he said as she laid there, crying and in pain, while he put his clothes back on. He folded his whip and put it away in his closet.
“Don’t worry sweetheart, you will soon forget all of this. Now, I want you out. I’m sure you can find your way to your dorm room” he said as he touched her back, making her wince.
“Why did you do this? I love you Carlos, why did you hurt me like this?” She whispered, but he ignored her. He tossed a hoodie and some sweatpants which he was sure would be big on her, and as soon as she got dressed, he grabbed her by the arms and took her out of his room.
“Sweetheart, I played with you all the time. And you were so boring and pathetic” he replied, slamming the door on her face. He smirked at the victory of taking her virginity and dump her like she was nothing. He picked up the phone and called his favorite woman.
“Hello, Samantha? I am ready for you my love. Of course she’s gone, just come on over and I will show you a good time” he hung up and was eager to see his woman, the one who really satisfied his need.
He came back from his thought and make a phone call. “Hello, Princess, how are things going at the club? I hope you’re keeping an eye on her”
“Don’t worry my King. I am keeping a close eye on her. Before I left, she was doing a gang initiation for some kid”she mentioned, and he knew she was still doing those kind of things she did right after her father died.
“That’s my girl. I will give you what you deserve when you get here”
“Well I am already here, so you can open the door for me" she said and that brought a smile to his face. He ordered one of his guards to open the door for her and as soon as he did, she hurried in and sat on his lap.
"I am so glad I get to see you my love. Being in that club really gets to me, especially when I have to work next to that tempting bartender" she said, causing for Carlos to glare at her.
"Do you like that bartender?" he asked. She looked at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Well, he is handsome. And Victoria seems to have him wrapped around her fingers, like the other two, but you’re my man”
"Other two?" he was curious.
"You didn't know? Your ex likes to f**k around with her bodyguard and her new DJ" she mentioned letting out a small chuckle. He rubbed his chin with his hand and then touched her thigh, giving her shiver throughout her body.
"Looks like someone deserves a present today" he whispered in her ear and she giggled. They stood up and he pulled her by the hand to his room.

Victoria woke up and looked around. Her naked body was still covered with her silk blankets as her eyes ended on the other side of her bed, just to notice Brandon was not there, but there was a tray sitting at her nightstand. She smiled as she took the lid off to see some pancakes and eggs with bacon.
"You have to stop spoiling me, Brandon" she whispered and ate her breakfast. After she was done, she took a warm bath, and she got ready to start the day.
She walked down the stairs, when she saw him getting the bar ready for the night. The sight made her bite her bottom lip as she walked towards him.
"Good morning, handsome" her sexy voice instantly made him smile and turned around to face her.
"Good morning, beautiful" he replied back.
"You left the bed early. I was hoping to wake up in your arms" she confessed, making him chuckle.
"I promise next time you will. Samantha is not here, so I had to get ahead on more cleaning and restocking" he said, making Victoria frown in confusion.
"She is not here? Do you have any idea where she might be?" she asked, hoping that Brandon had the answer.
"No, and I have been trying to call her, but her phone goes straight to voicemail" he shrugged. Victoria had the feeling that something wasn't right.
"Very well, I will leave you to your work. See you later"
"See you later, my little jewel" he winked, making her smile. He used to call her that when they were in college. She loved spending time with him, he was kind and sweet and she enjoyed the free time she had with him.
She headed to the kitchen to make sure the cooks had everything in order. She was humming, which made the cooks look at each other confusedly. Suddenly, Rogelio walked into the kitchen.
"Victoria, he is here again" she turned to him and her mood changed again.
"What is he doing here? He told me he was not coming until next week" she said and instead of fear this time, she was angry. They both headed to the entrance, where Gabriel was trying to keep them out.
“Let them in, Gabriel” she ordered and Carlos walked in with an air of power coming out of him. Victoria crossed her arm and to her surprise she saw Samantha walk in behind her.
“Samantha? You’re late” she said, but Samantha walked to Carlos’ side and took his hand. Victoria was shocked, she had a mole in her club and she was stupid enough to trust her.
“I am sorry, Victoria. But I won’t be working for you anymore. I did my job and that was to bring Carlos back to your life” she giggled while Victoria looked at Rogelio, giving him a sign and he knew what to do. As he walked away, Brandon noticed she was left alone and dropped what he was doing to walk towards them.
But as soon as he did, his eyes widened at the sight of Carlos.
“You!” he said, his blood boiling in anger. Victoria looked at him confused “I really want to kill you right now, after what you did to me”
“What are you talking about Brandon?” She asked. Brandon looked at Samantha realizing she was working with him. That traitor. “Brandon answer me, what are you talking about?”
“He was the one at my apartment, and he’s the one who ordered his guard to attack me” he confessed. Victoria looked back at Carlos and without hesitation she took the gun out of the back of her pants and shot him in the shoulder.
“Grab Samantha and bring her to Rogelio” Brandon did as she ordered, while Samantha kept screaming and she faced Carlos, who was bending over in pain.
“Not so tough now, huh? I will give you a warning. You better not come back to my club, or you will suffer the consequences. I am tired of you thinking you can control everything and everyone. And as for your little girlfriend? I will take care of her” she patted his cheek and as she was going to order Gabriel to take him out, he took his own handgun and shot her in the back.
She fell on the floor, almost unconscious and everything around her seemed to fade. All she could see was Gabriel drag him out and shooting again.
